I started my GMAT preparation in September 2016. After going through several materials from various sources available to me, I did the mock exams. I was disappointed with my scores as I could not go beyond 670. Being an Engineering grad, quant section was not a big concern for me. But where I faltered the most was the verbal section. My score in the verbal was hovering between 29 to 32 even after putting in a lot of effort. Then I came across e-gmat from the various reviews posted on the site. The glowing reviews about guaranteed verbal improvement convinced me to subscribe to the verbal online course. When I went through the material it just blew me away. The structured content and the lucid explanations were the things I was missing in my preparation in the last couple of months. Meaning based approach in SC improved my accuracy to over 90 percent. The content of the scholaranium is of high quality and it helped me a lot in my practice for the next 2 months. The timely webinars are really handy to get a grasp of things. Finally scored a V37 in the actual exam in my first attempt owing to certain mistakes I committed in the actual exam. I will go for a second attempt and try to get above V40 this time around. I have even extended the subscription as well as it has become an integral part in my preparation.I would definitely recommend this material to anyone struggling with his/her verbal preparation.

Like any other Indian IT male engineer I have my fortress rooted and built with Quants. I left Verbal into the hands of luck though I failed every time thinking of a miracle to happen for a decent verbal score. Well it indeed happened after my thoughtful decision of choosing E-GMAT verbal online prep. " The best in the market for non - natives" is not just a comment but a commandment I would say. Breaking down the CR, RC & SC concepts to elementary level and building a strong course on those items is the real beauty of this course. I loved the CR & SC course more than the RC as I was quite comfortable with it. The concepts proved me how ignorant I was with the CR & SC concepts in spite of being excellent in verbal communication skills. I would definitely recommend E-GMAT if you want to improvise your accuracy in verbal. I am full of confidence that my verbal score is going to shoot up in my GMAT retake. Thank you team for your incredible content and excellent support.

I have been procrastinating GMAT preparation for long time. This March, I decided to start preparing for GMAT and write it in June/July. E-GMAT has been great companion during my journey to prepare for GMAT. Course offered by E-Gmat is wonderful. I subscribed for E-GMAT verbal online course as I wanted to study at my own pace. As, I started learning with Verbal section, I really thanked god for choosing such a great course. SC is best course offered by Egmat. Sentence correction topics have been explained in such a detailed manner with very nice examples that I can challenge any one that he/she can score great in sentence correction part if one learn and follow all techniques and methods explained in the course. In reading comprehension part, I learnt how to comprehend instead of just reading by following E-Gmat strategy. Time is very important factor in solving passages. E - Gmat strategies have been very helpful in managing time and solve primary purpose questions or inference questions correctly. Then, there are various kind of quizzes which helped me to fortify my concepts and know my weakness in particular topics. There is a section in online course with name scholaranium which tests my ability in various topics and show my progress through detail statistics. I am able to understand my weak and strength areas through the Ability Quizes. I am still preparing for GMAT and so far able to improve my score v28 - V34.

My first verbal score was at 27 and my second verbal score was at 34. I started using e-gmat after I achieved my second score. The course helped me understand the foundation concepts of sentence correction and critical reasoning. I didn't take the RC portion of the verbal prep solely because I wasn't bothered at all. My scores were quite rocky for verbal but at the end it shine through because I kept reviewing the solutions on scholaranium. I would say that 70% of my jump from V32 to V42 can be attributed to e-GMAT's teaching.

Sentence correction videos of e-GMAT are a gem. When I first tackled GMAT, I just went solely by ear. I didn't have any guidelines or proper understanding of what GMAT wants. e-GMAT helped me understand those guidelines and adopt a logical approach to solving sentence correction questions. The one thing I might add about e-GMAT is even though its approach is logical and accurate, the process was quite slow. I had to come up with my own pacing and strategies in order to make sure I won't run over the clock.

The critical reasoning portion, despite other reviews saying it's not as good as sentence correction, I think it's one of the best. I am not a native speaker and so my brain does not process English logic that well. It took quite some time for me to wrap my head around the usage of logical cues in GMAT and e-GMAT taught me exactly those words. I love how each section of the videos would highlight out word cues, especially for bold face. In order to make the best about of my e-GMAT experience, I listed out all the cue words given by e-GMAT and map them out myself on an A4 so I can look at critical reasoning holistically. Every type of questions has some sort of link with each other. Without e-GMAT i think I would have not hit a 97%-tile on the critical reasoning portion.

I would totally recommend e-GMAT for people, non-native in particular, who just started studying GMAT. This is a great way to gain understanding of what GMAT tests you. However, if you want to score higher than 38, you need to do your own legwork and a lot of practices.

I have started to look at English as a logical language since I took the e-gmat verbal online course. Now when I read articles I am constantly categorising sentences into grammar components. The approach explained in e-gmat for SC and RC has been very helpful. I came across e-gmat advertisement links on Facebook during Dec 2016 and decided to try it
A little bit about my background, I am an IT professional with 11 years of work experience. With every passing year of work life I tended to read less of general English and more of technical books. I started preparing for GMAT since March 2016 and realised that my scores in verbal were stuck at 40-50% strike rate. By Dec 2016, I had attempted GMAT twice with abysmally poor scores of 20 in verbal while 46, 47 respectively in Quant. I am taking GMAT again this June end and hope to reach as near to 700 as possible. My RC strike rate has improved to 85% - this is through the reading techniques explained in e-gmat course and webinars. SC is explained very well with examples and simple rules, it is easier to spot errors once an individual has a mind map of what to look for. It is with practice that I have managed to inculcate the simple rules laid out by e-gmat, that one has to primarily comprehend the unambiguous meaning of the sentence first and then only look for the types of grammatical errors. My strike rate fluctuates in SC owing to my concentration levels given a particular day.
The journey to get a decent score in GMAT has been long, difficult and one of self-discovery. I will like to thank e-gmat for making it easier through their verbal online course

I'm yet to give my GMAT but I just had to write this review. A big shout out to the e-GMAT team for helping me out with my prep. This is a debrief of my journey so far and how e-GMAT has helped me improve.

The first thing I realized while prepping was that despite putting in effort, I was not seeing an improvement in my score. My diagnostic score was a 700 (Q45, V42) and all subsequent efforts were around the 700 mark - 680, 670 & 640. This obviously got me worried as I had hit the dreaded 'score plateau'.

I started going through debriefs on BTG and GMAT club to determine if there were others who were facing a similar issue. A commonality that I found was that these fellow GMAT-aspirants had signed up for the e-GMAT course and were swearing by the improved results that they saw. I had my doubts about this course and started off with the free verbal webinars conducted by Rajat from e-GMAT. I absolutely loved the webinars and promptly signed up for the e-GMAT Online course.

The prep:
I was struggling with RCs and thought that I good at SC and CR. However, I didn't have empirical data that backed this perception and there was no baseline. I decide to start from the start and the first module that I completed was Master Comprehension. This is the fundamental course for verbal and greatly helped me reorient my reading habits. The learnings are basic yet so important and I could feel the difference as I attempted RC and CR questions - improved focus and attention to detail.

Next up, I started with Scholaranium as I had to determine my baseline. This is what blew me away. Super Stuff. Schloranium is a dashboard that slices and dices your abilities in terms of strengths and weaknesses in all topics both, in quant and verbal. I started with solving all ability quizzes in quant and verbal and was amazed at the insights. I realized that I needed improvement in number properties, algebra and SC - and these were topics I thought I was good at !!!

I prioritized my study scheduled basis my strengths and weaknesses and put a countdown to my next full-length. I took my next test in about two weeks after I started my course and scored a 670 (Q43, V40). This was a big bummer but I was determined to figure out what went wrong since I was very confident going into this test. Turns out it was a timing problem - back to the drawing board. Two weeks of prep peppered with drills on e-gmat and practice from OG17, 16 & 15. Next test on 1st June 2017, I socred a 720 (Q45, V44). I can't convey what that felt like because this meant that I had surpassed the score plateau and was on my way to my target score of 750+.

My test day is a couple of weeks away and I'm now spending time in perfecting the core skills taught in the e-GMAT course and am going over fundamental principles in the concept files and yes, solving multiple sets of questions. I will definitely share my debrief post my GMAT but in the meanwhile I want to say this:

"If you're feeling stuck, disappointed or demotivated because you've hit a score plateau, don't worry. I was there too and the e-GMAT Online Prep course and OG practice has helped me overcome this. Attend Rajat's free webinars and if you like them, go ahead and buy the course because you will absolutely love the prep."

Feel free to reach out to me in the comments. All the best with your prep !

Cheers !

I am a non- native English speaker and was looking for a good for a Verbal Course which could help improve my S.C section. I purchased S.C course and I must say that was the best investment I have made so far. It’s a tailor-made course for aspirants who are weak in Verbal and covers all topics from a GMAT standpoint.
The course is organized and has a nice flow which helps you get the maximum learning out of it.The excellent insights provided in videos of all topics give you in depth knowledge and help you strengthen your weak areas.A ton of thanks to Verbal Instructors Shraddha and Payal. Their approach of dissecting each S.C Question by splitting the clauses helped eliminating the wrong answer choices within short span of time.Their method of providing simple day to day examples to understand difficult questions made it easy to understand it.
The R.C strategy too worked well for me. I was not really good at solving main point and Inference Questions.The tactics provided in the webinar helped me ace this section. Pre-thinking the answers,paying close attention to the key words,making mental notes improved my accuracy around 80%.
I’ll without a doubt recommend everyone who wants to ace GMAT verbal to go for e-gmat without any hesitation.

Initially when I started preparing for GMAT with a coaching center in Delhi, my quant was good but my verbal was not up to the mark and hence my overall score was hovering around 650-670. When I saw the reviews on GMAT club about e-gmat and checked out the site, I found it very helpful and decided to enrol. After about 4 months of preparation I took the GMAT on 24 December 2016 and got 720 (Q51, V36). I was happy to see my verbal score which had improved from V28 in the mocks to V36. All thanks to e-gmat and its easy explanation of tough concepts.

E-GMAT has been great companion during my journey to prepare for GMAT. Course offered by E-Gmat is wonderful. I subscribed for E-GMAT verbal online course as I wanted to study at my own pace. As, I started learning with Verbal section, I really thanked god for choosing such a great course. First of all, course try to know my own potential and then provide all the theory and concepts related to the topic to further improve my learning. I was very scared of critical reasoning questions, but Falsification method, Pre thinking strategy and negation techniques have raised my confidence in this topic and ease my job. Sentence correction topics have been explained in such a detailed manner with very nice examples that I can challenge any one that he/she can score great in sentence correction part if one learn and follow all techniques and methods explained in the course. In reading comprehension part, I learnt how to comprehend instead of just reading by following E-Gmat strategy. Time is very important factor in solving passages. E - Gmat strategies have been very helpful in managing time and solve primary purpose questions or inference questions correctly. Then, there are various kind of quizzes which helped me to fortify my concepts and know my weakness in particular topics. There is a section in online course with name scholaranium which tests my ability in various topics and show my progress through detail statistics. Same kind of strategy is followed in Quant section too. Algebra, Number properties, Probabilities concepts which are very challenging to solve have been explained in very comprehensive manner. I have never found any course which follow such a state of art methodology. I have also gone through KAPLAN and MAGOOSH, but didnot find these courses as effective and easy as E-GMAT course. Thanks E - GMAT for helping me in fulfilling my dreams.

I gave my GMAT in Oct 2016 in which I scored 610. The online course that I had taken had a good Quant section but not such a great verbal section, especially for non-natives. I had decided to retake the GMAT in one month again and this time I decided to purchase the Verbal Online course from e-Gmat and I wasn't disappointed at all. The kind of depth in which they cover the entire Verbal section is pretty amazing. And they start right from the scratch. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to give the GMAT again due to some reasons but I can assure you that I could see my accuracy improving by a great margin. I would surely recommend e-Gmat to everyone, especially non-natives who are looking to boost their score.
