I liked the format in which the course is designed. It helps you out to understand the content first and then practice on the concepts with practice questions.
My verbal was really poor but this course helped me to get some grip on it. Would recommend the verbal course for Non-English people to crack GMAT exams. Practice tests are properly designed to present GMAT like questions with same difficulty levels.
I did not take the quant course but few of my friends who took the course told me that it is fairly easy and should be taken only by those who did not have exposure to normal maths.
I realized I need to do some real work on Verbal as I merely scored V29 on my gmat prep. The problem was that, there are many gmat products out there and I was overwhelmed with choices - naturally I wanted to have the one which would give me maximum impact. Upon reading a lot of reviews online, I decided to give e-GMAT a go.
What I particularly like about e-GMAT Verbal was that it emphasizes understanding the SC question first, rather than plunge oneself into the nitty gritty of grammar rules. It is the first of the 3-step-process (Meaning analysis, Error Analysis, Options Analysis). The approach helped me to improve my SC considerably. Apart from that, the e-GMAT Verbal has a number of quizzes for each of its topics, which further helped me to cement my understanding of that particular topic.
The structured approach in tackling the Verbal questions was something which I found truly helpful.
One of the great learnings I had during the e-GMAT Verbal Online course was the innovative problem-solving approach, which is based on meaning and pre-thinking. Verbal Online is carefully designed from student's perspective, specifically teaching a step-by-step process to solve various items being tested.
For Sentence Correction, Verbal Online helped me to adopt a methodical process to understand the meaning thereby helping me to improve my overall accuracy. My accuracy for Sentence Correction shot up to 75-80% after incorporating e-GMAT's approach of solving SC questions.
Similarly, the RC and CR courses focus on pre-thinking, which is yet another important and effective method to achieve higher accuracy. I used Scholarium to focus on my weak areas and thoughtfully watched the videos to excel in my weak sections.
For a non-native speaker, Verbal Online is worth every penny and I would highly recommend it.

E-Gmat is the best to prepare for GMAT.I tried official guides but my understanding was not well, i was doing a lot of mistakes in Sentence correction especially in Modifiers, comparisions and Idioms.In Critical reasoning i was finding it hard for assumptions ,strengthen & weaken questions..When i started preparing with E-Gmat, it enhanced my learning for SC & CR .Later i was quite confident in the above mentioned sections in Sentence correction & Critical Reasoning. Thanks E-Gmat for ur support and pushing me through the limits.I will strongly recommend all non natives to go ahead with the verbal live prep program of E-Gmat and improve more than 40 in verbal.
I believe that e-GMAT is the best Verbal resource out there. I started with a Verbal score between 30-34. My weakness was SC and so I decided to try e-Gmat which was notoriously known for its SC approach.
E-gmat SC approach is very quick, efficient and definitely helped me achieve 40 for Verbal part on my test day.
What I would recommend: Stick to one course/approach per section. Do not wander around with many different companies. You will only get confused.For me it was e-GMAT for SC (The best course for SC in my opinion), PowerScore for CR and gmat club for RC.
I was looking for a decent platform to study for GMAT. After couple days of research, I've decided to give e-GMAT a shot. So far, it's amazing and worth every buck.
I really like the post-quiz feature that allows you to review the concepts you just learned. And their Scholaranium is great as well, it really helps you to get used to GMAT questions.
Their verbal contents help me boost my confidence in the section. After thoroughly study verbal section with E-gmat, I learned how to look for the intention of the questions.
I highly recommend E-gmat to those who are willing to improve their GMAT score.
Before enrolling in E-gmat my accuracy in SC used to be 60-70%, after a week or so into the course I was at 80%+ accuracy. It all started making sense why I was getting the questions wrong and how to apporach SC efficiently. The 3 step process worked wonders for me. The video format of the course is very effective and provides in depth knowledge of all the things you need to master SC. The course is organized and has a nice flow which helps you get the maximum learning out of it. CR and RC courses are way better than other courses I have come across. The overall course really helped me go from V28-30 to V37-40 range. So I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to go beyond V37+.
I had given my GMAT more than a year ago with score of 620 and at that point of time I felt so low as soon as verbal section came. I had lost all hope. My quant was always strong, and CR,SC and RCs looked like herculean to me. I was quiet week in english . But each time I would come across an RC in the middle of my mocks, I would feel low and lose time and thereby end up rushing through my SC and CR questions as well consequently poor score.
Then,I read so many positive reviews about e-GMAT and I cannot thank e-gmat enough for making an awesome program. After a yearlong break, I felt the need to start over again the videos provided by e-GMAT made the journey a fun . I make handwritten notes while watching videos. I would really recommend it to you all as well. I make my notes nice and add screenshots and links to them.
The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs. The one strategy that worked wonders for me was "to get immersed". I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!" I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly and was thereby able to get ALL my main point and structure questions right.
The other thing that I absolutely loved about the VLP was the scholaranium. It allows you to strenghten the weaker section. The random mix of questions of all difficulty level is also great help. You can create your own mocks without subscribing any redundant material from other sources.
Thank you e-GMAT once again
All the best to you all !!
Hello,
I started my GMAT prep in the month of September 2016. However I took a misstep in my early days of prep by trying to read as many books as possible, from Kaplan premier to MGMAT series. While the books are good content wise, I never gathered focus or gained confidence for the d-day. In fact, my successive insipid scores in Kaplan CATs only validated my belief that books aren't my cup of tea for GMAT and by the mid of Dec, I was looking for alternatives.
I attended one of the e-gmat webinar's and quite liked their approach. The videos were crisp, to the point and the learning was tested immediately via a post module quiz. Comparing the pre and post quiz scores are a great way to boost your self confidence. I immediately signed up for their SC course as that was my weakest link.
For a non-native english speaker for me, the course structure was ideal. The course starts with the foundation topics, meaning the structure of a sentence, the components i.e phrases, clauses, verbs etc which clears up any misconceptions you have had all along. The modules dealing with other GMAT topics such as pronouns, verb-ing, verb-ed, comparisions, idioms are life-savers. In fact my scores in SC showed consistent uptrend in mocks during and after the SC course. In my GmatClub test sessions, my SC success rate went from 60-70's to mid 90's consistently. And more importantly, it removed the fear that I harbored about SC so much that I was actually looking forward to SC's
All in all, I would gladly recommend e-gmat SC course to anyone looking for SC coaching. I couldn't have scored 730(v40, q49) without it.
I took the E-gmat course after looking at a number of debriefs , stressing the need for E-gmat to help ace verbal. Being a non native speaker , i was happy that i found something that would help me cross the 700 barrier
Pros -
Covers SC , CR , RC , IR i.e 2 sections out of 4 i.e QA , VA , IR , AWA
lucid explanations
Cons -
Expensive ( better to share costs ) i feel at that price ,it could have offered a lot more in terms of no of questions
Egmat claims to have 3500 questions but the question bank has around 800 questions RC , CR , SC combined .
A lot of questions like find the noun , verb in the sentence etc are present but they are not gmat like , i mean they do help one prepare for Verbal section but claiming to have 3500 questions seems more of a marketing gimmick
I strongly believe every thing has 2 sides to it and so does this course. Studying this alone wont land you a 40+ in verbal , some techniques are only suitable for certain type of questions is what i feel. E-gmat definitely helps in preparation.
Since the course has helped me i would recommend it to people as a last resort , there is manhattan SC , Aristotle SC clubbed with various SC posts on the gmat club , all these resources utilised efficiently would give the same result as Egmat
Scholarium is easy to use but cannot switch between course and scholarium easily . I need to reopen the browser to access videos , this was an issue at times for me
Questions - 3/5
Platform - 3/5
Concepts 4-5
Overall experience - 3.5/5 but no 4
hence rating it 3/5
it's a good course but i am sure the benefits can be effectively reached in other ways as well
