I started the GMAT by setting my target score which was 700+.
I first studied from the official guide books, which were very useful. In prep tests i was scoring in the range of 600-640 (Q48-49 & V25-30). I could not consistently score V30+. To get a 700+ i had to score V35+ in the real test. I gave it a try in February after knowing that its a long shot in the verbal section but I thought I should try and get the feel of the real exam. I score a horrendous 570 (Q49 V19) yes you read this right, I score V19. I was extremely frustrated with the verbal score. I knew V35 was a long shot but V19!! I took it upon myself to change the situation. I took a week off after my first attempt. During this week i did my due diligence on the best verbal material available online. I decided to go with e-gmat. Knowing my weakness, i dedicated 2/3 of my time to the verbal section and 1/3 to the quant.
The verbal section in e-gmat was the closest thing i have seen to the real test. For example, in the SC, most of the resources have 2:3 splits, even in the very hard questions. However, the real test had a different error in each sentence (except for the correct one of course) and this is where the e-gmat had an edge. Also, the CR questions where more like the real test questions.
I also helped my self by reading articles on a daily basis from (WSJ, Economist or Business Insider) to train myself to read faster while still understanding the whole passage (I don't like reading btw, so if i can do it you definitely can. Just put in the time and effort and you'll get there)

I took the full quant and verbal course however there is no options to select that option. I have 3 important factors to attribute to this score
1. eGmat
i) Quant ::- I was ok with mathematical skills but my major concern was that I did not have the focus to go through the Manhattan guides or the official guide as they did not challenge me. Yet, my scores on the official exams were fairly bad. The structured quant content on the egmat helped me slowly go through the concept and keep track of where I am. Another nice factor about the quant course was that it is made it put you down and make you respect quant that we usually do not. So it is absolutely not easy get good score in assessment tests. The interactive nature of the course helps people with little attention span in keeping the interest alive.

Verbal ::- I needed polishing in verbal, I usually like studying verbal so it was more fun. The SC course is simply amazing , I only used that from my package. and it improved me in leaps and bounces and I could not rave more about it. for CR I had already used manhatten guide and was doing well so I did not finish the course. For RC I did go through the course but was doing ok before hand and I think this is a skill that only comes with practice.

scholaranium :: - This was surely the most amazing part of the package. The quality of questions are amazing , and the analytics would keep you pushing to improve. The quality of workout is so amazing that the real test frankly felt really easy. I initially used to crib about getting poor scores in scholaranium quizzes but it really came in handy during the test.

Gmat CLub Tests :: I got gmat club tests as part of the package from egmat and used them to fine tune my quant performance. I realized that my accuracy dramatically decreases during the last leg of the exam. taking 37 question tests with a difficulty way above the actual exam really helped me in getting rid of my timing issue.

My verbal was not so strong, it held my GMAT score back, and after reading about e-GMAT, I decided to purchase the course. Overall, it was satisfying.
The couse was very detailed. A lot of materials are available for practice. Useful tips. Your progress is shown. Online classes are also available. Verbal questions are broken down into specific types. However, the course can be improved if it creates reminder just in case one derails, and it could send student (monthly/bi-weekly) reports for them to know their progress. And if they don't like, they can customize the sending report option.
I haven't retaken the exam yet, so it's hard to say whether I'm improved. I'm not sure whether the questions are similar to the real ones.

Although English was my first language in school, I really struggled to get the accuracy required for a good score in GMAT. I had tried various reference books and classes, but nothing came close to building up the basics and adding to my confidence as E-GMAT. I was apprehensive initially since I hadn't tried online learning before, but on a friend's recommendation, I tried E-GMAT and saw the results immediately. My verbal score jumped from a 25-28 to 38 on the day of the official exam thanks to the fantastic videos, practice tests and the scholaranium tests that I took while preparing for the exam. The videos cover every single detail needed for cracking Verbal, plus the OG questions provided at the end of each chapter help in solidifying whatever has been learnt.

Hi,
I recommend e-gmat verbal online. My native language is Spanish, so I find this program very helpful especially for Sentence Correction. What I recommend is to make the time to finish the entire course that is very long so you have to be committed in order to finish. In addition, practice the e-gmat three step process in all the practice exercises that you do, because that would help achieve a better score. Before taking the e-gmat course I search throughout the web for the best courses and I can definitely say that e-gmat is the best for the verbal part of the Gmat.
Hope my experience will help you guys.

This Verbal online course is probably the best i've found that has helped me a lot! As going through to prepare for this section of GMAT i found e-GMAT's strategy to attack a 600-700 level questions were neat and provided a lot of logical sense while doing it. I would recommend this course for anyone looking to have full verbal knowledge start to finish in one place. It breaks down the difficult topics into parts for easier understanding. Moreover, one really good thing about this course is the guided videos and post-video quizzes that prepare you to answer any question and attack it in a very simple manner. Great course overall!

Nice courseware, I would recommend it everyone whosoever is preparing for GMAT. This is an indispensable course for GMAT preparation. The course has a nice flow, starts from the basics and leads up to complex problems. Each module helped me gain in depth knowledge about the language and was a stepping stone towards a good GMAT score. After taking the course, i feel more confident about myself with the verbal section of the GMAT. I would highly recommend this course, specially for students whose first language is not English. Brilliant course it is, I would say. Mind blowing. just awesome

would like to say that this is a fundamental element of your gmat preparation. an ingredient you want to include in your preparation.

it allows you to follow a structured approach and a methodical process to answer question.

the course material is quite comprehensive that it should serve as a standalone to go through all the necessary concepts dealt with or required for your preparation

yes, the video lessons do no come with the ability to watch them at a fast paced but are worthy of your preparation time.

its recommended that we make the best use of the available resource at hand and give this exam a great swing.
