Hi All,

I gave my first GMAT in Nov 2013 and scored 600 with Q47 and V25.

The books that I used were MGMAT SC and CR apart from OG13. A quick search would show you that most use MGAMT SC books and have scored amazing in verbal, so even I studied from these books for SC, as SC was my weakest part, being a non-native English speaker.
I did understand the contents in the book but was still somehow making a lot of mistakes and for most of the time I couldn't figure out why a wrong option is wrong in OG. Google would bring me here and I discovered this great site and later eventually after a dismal 600, e-gmat!
I saw bb recommending some user to have a look at e-gmat for verbal and thought well among the various courses if he is recommending this to someone I should also give it a try.
I enrolled for Verbal Live-prep, got a discount, and found a new way of learning.

The course is organized into separate segments as per the topics and it goes into the detail of every topic. You get a pre and post assessment quiz after each section so that you can check your mastery on these topics, the thing missing in books. I would suggest you to make notes also of the content and the error log.

The workshops and live sessions actually tells you why a choice is wrong if it is wrong and the discussion that takes place in these classes are amazing. These live sessions are the single thing worth the money. While browsing the forums you get 1000 rules why an ans is right or wrong, some of these rules are misleading or incomplete, but a tutor in these live sessions clears many doubts while discussing why a option is wrong and to what extent you can apply a rule. You would understand this if you have read MGMAT SC book as in this book you will find exceptions for many rules and even exceptions to exceptions! However these books are amazing if you can study on your own, nevertheless, I found e-gmat courses to be well worth the cost.
I gave two free mock tests: Kaplan and Veritas and scored 720 in each with Q50 and V~37 in Nov 2014. I also gave GMAT prep and scored 740 with Q50 and V40. I will appear for gmat in a while and will post my experience here on gmatclub.
I would suggest if you are struggling with SC, you can definitely check e-gmat.
For CR: one funda only - Prethink.
RC - well, solve SC within 90 sec and CR in less that 2 min will give you ample time to tackle each RC with around 7-8 min each.

Good luck.

e-gmat comes as a blessing for the non-natives when it comes to sentence correction.The concept- files and the quizzes helps us to consolidate the process which, might takes some to get used to, but once you are familiar with it you will see the results.

i would recommend this for all those who want to improve on their verbal score and especially for the non- natives.

apart from the concept files they also provide the work-shops and the live-sessions.these live sessions and workshops helps us to pin-point the exact cause as to why and where we are making the mistakes.

To start with i m a non native speaker. Before i have started the EGMAT course i have tried Manhattan verbal books. This didn't help me much as i was very weak in my verbal part. This course is started from the basics and slowly went in. I really loved the way sentence correction course was taught. In the Live classes we were shown how to attack a question which is really helpful. I truly thank EGMAT team for creating such a wonderful course. Every penny spent on this course as fees is worth deserving. I recommend this course who are non natives and are really looking for score improvement.

Awesome instructor team - Really intelligent and patient individuals. Also easily approachable via email. You can get your doubts clarified.

Easy to follow - Course is paced and structured well. Important concepts are stressed and summarized at the end of every video. There are quizzes after every concept. This really helped.

Pricing is reasonable - I think this might be a considerable factor for most. Refer to their official page, you will find some nice addons like mocks and more.

This is a good product, these guys got everything right. Their renewed platform v2.0 makes it even better. All you need to do is to complete this course.

Hi:

I got to know about e-gmat courses through gmatclub and at that time I was scoring not more than 23 in verbal. My first GMAT prep mock was terrible (Q47V23) and it was clear to me that if I don’t improve my verbal score, it wouldn’t matter if I score even 51 in quant. After trying a good amount of free classes/sessions offered by Manhattan, Kaplan, Princeton etc., I attended the free strategy sessions offered by e-GMAT that made me realize the importance of e-gmat courses over others. It is even easier to tell the difference when one is a non-native speaker of English language. In a heartbeat, I decided to subscribe e-GMAT ‘s verbal live prep (VLP) course.

Just within a month of subscription on VLP, my verbal score shot up from 23 to 28-29 range, which was astounding. During live sessions, I got opportunity to work on my thought process and improve my approach to solve certain type of problem. The most advantageous part of live sessions is that you get to discuss your doubts directly with the experts and fill the knowledge gap right there and then. All teachers (Rajat, Payal, Krishna, Juhi and others) of e-GMAT VLP courses are very thorough and they try their best to reach out everybody in the class. I was very weak in critical reasoning (CR), but after 4 months, my accuracy improved appreciably and my verbal improved to V39 from V23 which is too good to be true (if I recall my initial score).

If you want to make most out of VLP course, don’t hesitate to ask even trivial questions during the live sessions.

Cheers,
GS

Hello

Initially when I started preparing I realized verbal was not that easy as I thought. There were many grammar rules that had to be brushed up. e-GMAT helped me with that. The best part about e-GMAT is that the way the concepts are explained it makes the student confident and also improves his verbal skills. It starts with the basics and eventually take you to a more advanced concepts. I could see the difference in my approach towards the Verbal section after taking the course. I would strongly recommend e-GMAT course.

Best Part about e-GMAT :
1. Covers everything
2. Every concept has a practice set
3.Can go through the lessons at your own will and own understanding

Suggestion :
1. Add few more practice questions

I've subscribed for the Verbal Live course with e-GMAT so far. As a non-native and from an engineering background I was also peaking in math section but my verbal score was always pulling me down. I was searching for a comprehensive course which teaches you how to apply the concepts that we learnt in real-time and not just teaching mere English grammar. I must say that after taking this course my verbal score has improved up to 32 from 24. I'm still striving hard to reach the 35 mark and I'm sure with E-gmat's Verbal Live prep and some more hard-work I can reach there! I must say the live sessions are really good enhancers along with the interface. These live sessions are quite amazing and they stress the importance of meaning in SC questions. Also the sessions are recorded and we can come back and see it any point of time in case of doubts. And since it is online I can login and study at my time of convenience. I'll continue to spend time on their material to help me achieve my verbal score.

Perhaps e-gmat is the best course available in the market for non-natives, particularly for Indians. People like me who are quant savvy but weak in verbal should indeed go for this. They have done an extensive research into the exam, exploiting every bit of its structure and syllabus that there is a seamless flow of thought in their material and every bit of what they teach is relevant- no fillers at all. Moreover, egmat's content is one of the most updated ones available in the market; they tune their course content periodically. Without e-gmat I couldn't have scored a 700+ in Gmat
Overall it was a nice experience. Kudos to the team. A nice innovation.

Hi,
I took GMAT in 2012 with a short preparation of one month, I got 610 (V26, Q48). After that, I have not tried up to Apr’14 for some other personal reasons. I thought of taking GMAT again, I started practicing verbal ( As it is my weak area), using OG and other commonly available books. I didn’t find any improvement in my verbal score.
As I am working, I don’t get time in single stretch for studies and there used to be breaks in continuity. Whenever I started my preparation, I used to find the same trivial materials without comprehensive information. Ultimately I did not find much improvement in my verbal skill.
Then, One of my friend suggested me to buy the E-gmat verbal live prep course. I bought it in may’14. I have completed the entire course and attended all live sessions and workshops. This time, because e-gmat course is structured and well presented, I could complete the course with the motivation that I can track my progress of learning. Above all strategies for answering the question are helped me a lot. Best things to achieve the very good accuracy are understanding the meaning, POE , identifying scope in CR and RC, eliminating obvious wrong answer choices in CR. Strategies for Reading also helped me to improve my comprehension and reduce time required for reading the passage.
After completion of course, I could not believe myself. I made at least 80% accuracy in wide range of materials, including OG, Veritas prep material.
After completion of course, my next target was to complete the test in time. Initially, I took at least 3:30 min for every question, because of that I could hardly complete any test, but my accuracy was around 80%. After attempting the test strategy live session at the end of the course, I could guide myself in achieving takt time. I purchased OG question pack and practiced as suggested in the session. Slowly, I improved my time from 3:30 min to 2:00 Min on average now.
Last month, I started taking full length tests. I got V 38 in 800 score tests, V 36 in GMAT club and V34 in GMAT prep.
Now I am practicing my Quant and IR at the same time I am practicing to improve 4-6 point improvement in verbal. I am planning to take GMAT in mid Jan’15.
I am very thankful to e-gmat. In my hectic work schedule also I could improve my verbal base line from 26 to 36 by sparing very less time. I hope with some more practice I could make it V40 (my goal V40-41, Q51).
