I went with the egmat course. I went through the SC and CR courses of egmat, and they were, no doubt, a great stepping-stone to a better understanding of the subtle concepts in SC, and the pre-thinking way in CR.The questions in scholaranium are very good.What worked for me in SC was that I understood the meaning of the sentence in question and always questioned myself about the modifiers used in that sentence.For CR, the pre-thinking, as obvious as it sounds, tremendously helped me.
In summary, e-gmat verbal online is a great course for non-native english speakers

English is my second language and I really recommend this product for anyone who is planning to take GMAT and English is not their first language for them.
There are many examples that make you familiar with the GMAT tests.
The RC section is really helpful. It covers all the details and give you a great perspective of what you might see in the GMAT.
I also love the scholaranium. It really helped me to be more focus and improved my RC and SC abilities. The scholaranium helped me to improve my time management and answer the verbal section in the specific time frame.

20 Days before the exam, I still had very low confidence on my accuracy in Sentence Correction.

Even though I had read the Manhattan SC book and learnt some concepts, I was not able to apply these learnings while practicing Official Guide Questions primarily because of its lack of practice questions similar to OG.
I also felt that concepts taught in the Manhattan SC book were a bit easier than those tested in Official Guide, though the explanations were very clear and I felt I learnt a lot from the book.

Confident that my SC prep was not upto the mark, I started searching for online resources.

Trying to save some money, I collected all the SC PDF's available on gmatclub forum. I eventually (2-3 days later) realized that even though the free resources had good material, I found myself reading a new doc every few hours and was unable to focus on one. At the end of 2-3 days, I realized I had not learnt anything concrete.

This was an unnecessary wastage of time and I quickly decided to buy a good course to help me focus on only 1 source of learning. Going through the reviews, it was clear that e-GMAT verbal is amongst the best, and definitely the best for non-natives. Without thinking twice, I subscribed for the Sentence Correction course (which was available individually at that time).

I decided to devote one complete week (of the 18 days remaining) to e-GMAT sentence correction. I found the course extremely helpful. All the concepts were very clearly explained and all the edge cases were covered too. Their 3 step approach helps you in breaking down a long sentence in smaller easy to understand part. This was an extremely helpful technique.

The practice quizzes and questions were really good and of the level of Official Questions.

One word of caution, when I was following the course I was practicing questions topic by topic. Hence they are a bit easy to solve because you know what type of error is going to be in the question. Even thought the course always advises to use the 3 step approach, I felt it is not possible to do this when you are trying to quickly solve these questions ( or maybe I had little time to internalize this approach).

Hence I will advise to keep some time to solve official question, after getting done with the E-gmat course. With the concepts taught, it is possible to get at least 90% accuracy depending on the time and efforts one puts.

Overall, it proved extremely helpful to me, even in the short time span of 3 weeks and helped me get 730 (V:40).

I found the course content and course structure very well organized and super helpful. Super work!!!

I felt so confident in CR section after going through the e-gmat content that now I can easily solve 11-12 questions correctly out of 13. The SC video explainations are superb and thorough. This is the best staring point in your gmat prep journey.

The scholarium questions are also very good to practice and build on your concepts. They have a good number of questions on all the sections of GMAT. The analytics of the performance also helps in understanding the weak areas.

I would strongly recommend this product to all my friends and Gmatclub friends.

I had taken GMAT in October 2016 and got an overall score of 680(Q50, V32). I must say that the improvement on my score should be attributed to the way e-GMAT kept me confident and comfortable throughout my preparation.
When I took my first mock from GMATPrep, I ended up with a score of 600(Q-50, V-22), which highlighted my weakness at key concepts in SC and CR. While I was able to ace Quant without external preparation, the same can’t be said about Verbal. As a non-native English speaker, I was desperate to push my verbal score by at least 32 in order to reach 700(Q51 V32 can fetch you 700), which was my target score. After going through a myriad of reviews on GMAT Club, I was convinced that I should enroll for e-GMAT Verbal Online course, and I must say it was a great decision in my short journey of preparation.
To begin with, I enjoyed the way e-GMAT covered the fundamentals of Grammar (for SC). Each and every concept in grammar is taught logically aided by relatable illustrations. During my course of preparation, I felt that e-GMAT not only debunked the myths surrounding a lot of concepts but also helped me to unlearn and relearn things that were taught incorrectly at school. Moreover, at the end of each lesson, the concepts are summarized in a nutshell that helped me big time as I am naturally bad at taking notes. Concepts, such as Modifiers and Parallelism, are cleared with ease through the documents that they provide along with the audio/video material.
In addition to SC, I lacked skills in solving hard CR questions especially the ones that are based on Strengtheners and Assumptions. Fortunately, e-GMAT teaches it to you beautifully through a test called Negation that leads you to the assumption. Similarly, e-GMAT brings out different concepts such as pre-thinking and variance analysis in order to get to the understanding in detail. Along with these materials, you have Scholaranium that provides you the flexibility to create custom quizzes (I needed them for SC and CR), which can be used efficiently to track your ability (not just accuracy) throughout your preparation. Moreover, I found that these questions had a high correlation with the questions in GMATPrep, and hence I resorted only to GMATPrep for my Mocks (unlike MGMAT). I scored 660 and 670 in the mocks written days before the exam. I was not moving ahead as my Quant score was stuck at 5o.
During the actual GMAT, I breezed through the Quant section, and in fact, I completed the section with over 15 minutes on my clock. I had even hopes of touching 51 this time. In the verbal, I felt that I was sailing in smooth waters till question number 25. A super-hard RC struck me badly, and I had less than 5 minutes for my last five questions. I rushed through those questions, and I still believe they reduced my score by at least 3 points. When I submitted my exam, I saw 680 flashing on my screen (Q50 V32). Even though I didn’t reach 700, I made a great improvement within a short span of time.
Finally, I would like to thank e-GMAT for pushing my score close to my target. I hope this review would be helpful for non-natives who seek betterment in Verbal. e-GMAT is here for you!
All the very best for your preparations!

Verbal Prep was great help to improve my score my V34 to V41. The videos and suggested strategies were really helpful! It helped me to improve my score in Verbal. Would suggest follow all the strategies suggested and practice a lot after that. In my first attempt, I only used part e-gmat strategy and part mine in Verbal. It didn’t help. Follow their strategies completely and it really helps. I went through all videos twice before my GMAT and practiced their strategies on all OG questions. Plus, the verbal workshop I attended was also very helpful.
I would highly recommend the course.

E-gmat offers excellent resources to self-study for the verbal part in GMAT, especially the Sentence Correction section. It really focuses on the important and tricky points that students are often confused and make mistakes. The instructor has an excellent approach to explain grammatical foundation to help students understand and apply the knowledge in answering SC questions. Questions to practice are ok, not too hard, but enough to help students remember grammatical points. Additional practice questions are provided at the end of each module together with Official Guide questions. Scholaranium is ok: some questions are similar but others are more about emphasizing the grammatical points rather than reaching the difficulty level in GMAT exam. I hope to have more practice questions and modules can be made longer. However, I think the SC has covered pretty significant volume of grammar points to review for GMAT.

Great course so far!

My first attempt at GMAT gave me a 600. I was depressed with the course. My verbal course was pathetic. I prepared using Manhattan SC book, but was not satisfied as my confidence was not great.
I was recommended e-gmat by a friend. I started preparing from verbal online prep and verbal live prep. Within no time, i started gaining confidence and better scores. The Scholarium in the verbal section is the best. I am yet to take my GMAT, but i have recently got 690 in mock prep and i feel its mainly coz of e-gmat. Everything is great with e-gmat. However, kindly be informed that they will charge you if you want to extend your course. I have read in this forum that it will be extended for free. However, i was charged. It seems there is an option to disable the course for some duration if you want to take a break from preparation. Do use it. All the best :)

The egmat verbal course provided me with a great base to start with. My concepts expecially in SC significantly improved. In addition Scholaranium helped in identifying weak areas and improve timing. More importantly, the questions on Scholaranium were relevant to the actual GMAT test unlike those of many other online prep companies. The algorithms used in questions selection is great and just what the student required. This gave me the flexibility of choosing the right kind and number of questions as per requirement.

Would recommend this course as a must have for all those who are serious about getting a good GMAT score.

I had given my GMAT last year in October (610) and at that point of time I used to absolutely dreaded verbal. I found it really mundane and could never get myself to concentrate and solve the questions. While my quant was always strong,

Then, a colleague at work introduced me to e-GMAT. After a six month break, I started again with my prep. I cant thank enough to this portal for I have improved my verbal score incredibly! The videos are so descriptive. They are easy to understand and makes you think about the structure of the sentence you read in the test. this help me me brush up my concepts very well. I had read someone's review about making handwritten notes while watching videos and then transferring those onto Evernote at the end of each day as that would not only help you revise, but also create a handy notebook for you to skim through while you're on the move. I am yet to give my GMAT hoping for the best!
