Let me start with how my approach was towards SC questions in GMAT. Whenever i read an SC question I would jump directly to the options and choose the one that sounded right. But later on i realized except for a few blatantly framed wrong sentences all the remaining options sounded right. This is where e-Gmat helped me. Little did I know that there was a technique behind solving SC questions. The technique of breaking down sentences to easily comprehend what the sentence meant was plain amazing. The technique is also useful in reading comprehension passages if at all there were any long sentences.The critical Reasoning section also deserves a special mention. The flow diagram used to understand how the premise is related to the conclusion is definitely an eye-opener.The content (SC,RC &CR) is represented in a pictorial format.With this strategy the learning is easier and enjoyable too. The whole team works amazingly together. They conduct seminars regularly . Simply put, as a non native english speaker the technique one learns in e-Gmat is very helpful not only for Gmat but also for life.

As a non-native English speaker, I found it hard to crack the verbal section.

My accuracy was around 40% and even after going through the course content of various institutes I wasn't able to improve my accuracy.

That's when I came to know about e-GMAT. After few weeks of studying this course, I could see a significant improvement in my understanding of concepts and accuracy.

The way e-GMAT explains the concepts is engrossing and interactive and it makes solving questions pretty simple. The concepts are explained in a fairly easy manner and one can apply the same method in all types of questions whether simple or difficult. The basic approach in solving SC QUESTIONS remains the same.

Once I completed the concepts and exercises in the course, I stared solving problems from OG and I could achieve an accuracy level of 80 - 90% every time. I have recommended e-GMAT course to couple of my friends and would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with verbal.

Initially, I was apprehensive selecting an online course which did not involve a live tutor. However, I am pleasantly surprised with how e-GMAT has mastered the art of improving one's verbal ability, all through a well-designed course.

The course content was clear and well-presented. My progress through the course was monitored, and the course ensured that I move to an advanced(Complex) topics only after I have mastered the basic ones.

The method of teaching as well as the simplicity with which difficult topics are explained helps students master them with ease. Of the lot, my best pick, would be the SC course. I tops my list of things I suggest any fellow GMAT takers as a guaranteed way to improve his or her ability.

One of the highlights of the course is the vast and resourceful scholaranium tool which requires you to solve questions and tracks your verbal ability real-time. It helps the test taker identify the weak areas, focus and improve on them.

I had been always Q49+ from the start of the preparation.

I got only less than V25 till my first attempt, which was disappointing.

Post my first attempt i started with E-gmat verbal online. It was very comprehensive study tool and i recommend it to all non-native speakers(For the reasons given below).

Scholaranium is a tool which is unique and has been developed by E-gmat for testing any candidates true skill level.

Now, i am able to solve SC questions very fast with good accuracy.

Coming to CR the concept of prethinking is very unique of eGMAT. Prethinking not only helps you in reducing your solving time but also greatly improves your accuracy.

Overall, this is a must course for all non-native speakers and where verbal seems to be the only hurdle for conquering GMAT.

I am very happy to write this review and hope this would help GMAT aspirants. My goal when I started preparing was to score 680-700. My first mock score was 490 (Q39, V19). I had anticipated that I would need to work on Verbal but had never imagined that I would start with such a low score on Verbal. A couple of weeks into my break, I attended the free session by e-GMAT (thanks to GMAT Club for the invite). While I always knew the importance of meaning, the session demonstrated how to employ meaning to get to the right answer. The method outlined in the session was very methodical and yet very simple.

If you are having hard time with sentence corrections apply this technique.
Do not rush through the original sentence and move on to looking for splits. Rather, read the given sentence slowly and understand its meaning by focusing on sentence structure. Sentence structure = knowing and accounting for all the noun, pronouns, verbs, modifiers, and parallel lists. Once you do that you should know the meaning. Once you know the meaning, identify faults in sentence structure. Once you have found 2 or three such errors, look for splits and get to the right answer.
Even though this method seems longer, in reality it is much more efficient than rushing to the answer choices directly.

The different type of CR questions explained in e-GMAT course would really give you an upper hand during your verbal section. If you identify the type you can save a lot of time for other questions. The RC course will make you learn techniques to break down the complex paragraphs and understand its meaning. This definitely reduces lot of pressure and time when you get a RC passage on an unfamiliar topic.

The scholaranium is one such platform which would boost your score. A lot of questions are available on the scholaranium and also you can keep a track of your mistakes. This helps you to improve with the every new topic you learn.

My overall experience with e-GMAT was exceptional and I would suggest everyone to go ahead with the course if you are struggling in Verbal. I have raised my score from V19 to V36. So, this would definitely bring an improvement to your score.

Overall the verbal online course is well designed for non-natives. The SC part is the best and striking feature of the course. Course content is clear and well presented. It presents concepts that needs to be practised initially but gradually you save time when you apply the embed the thought process into your thinking. With regards to improvement, I will say there should be a summary of all concepts videos so you can go through them before the exam or before doing mocks. Apart from this, I found the course to be quite useful. I tried the Quant course, which found to be equally good and well presented.

Was initially wondering whether I should go for a paid verbal course given the vast material one already has freely available. A lot of people recommended the eGMAT lessons and I decided to give it a shot. Loved the fact there was a session on each microtopic - which helped in making the concepts very clear. Also, the quiz at the end gave good practice and helped in solidifying the same. Would probably attribute a 20-30 pointer difference to my result to these guys. One can also take a trial to really get a feel of the course. Works perfectly for guys who want to study at their own pace.

This helps us deal with the GMAT as any regular "standardized" test and easily breeze through 650 plus questions in GMAT. For questions above 700 level you need to utilize the scholarnarium tool designed by e-GMAT team. This is a highly efficient tool preparing us for the tougher questions on the GMAT. So in total, i have personally benefited from the e-GMAT verbal online course. My accuracy in SC has improved from an abysmal 40% to over 80%. Also i am using this tool to strengthen my CR & RC performance. You need to plan the usage of the course in the same pattern as suggested by e-GMAT team. Also practice the OG questions in the order suggested by them. Even they have prepared detailed solutions to all the OG questions which is much more in-depth as compared to the official guide solutions. I would definitely recommend verbal online e-gmat course to all those who want to improve their verbal performance in GMAT.

I undertook the Verbal course for 40 days and could achieve a score of 700 (Q50, V34). e-GMAT indeed is one of the best courses out there, specially for non-natives. They have divided the entire course in a very structured manner. SC, RC, CR- all the three components of Verbal are very well explained in a methodical manner. Any non-native can score well at GMAT by religiously following the methods described by the instructors at e-GMAT. The support at eGMAT is also great with a quick turnaround time for any query.
I would recommend eGMAT Verbal Online course for anyone who has no idea as to how to go about the verbal preparation.

I would like to second on the above mentioned tag line (of e-gmat)- "best course for non-natives". The course was a perfect fit for me. Not only did the course provide me knowledge, but also it changed the way I look at Verbal now. All the sections are very well built up and all the topics are nicely aligned. You can always skip the basic topics if you are good at those. Writing this review in a hurry. Will post a new one with all the details and hopefully with a better score. P.S.- Scholarnium has a huge pool of questions and one must use this feature.
