770
Hi Vaibhav. How does it feel to achieve a 770 on your first attempt?
Feels great. Although this is my first attempt, I have been preparing on and off for over 2 years.
Oh, is it? Can you tell us a bit more about your preparation?
Initially, my preparation was very random. I was going through the Official Guide and randomly browsing forum posts on GMAT Club. This continued on and off till mid 2015, when I realized that I need a more structured approach if I have to ace the GMAT. That’s when I joined e-GMAT Verbal Online.
How did you prepare using Verbal Online?
Initially, I just quickly completed the course and consequently, was stuck at a 710-720 on the mocks. However, after booking my exam date, I studied more seriously using the course and was able to see significant improvement in my ability.
How did e-GMAT help you with the GMAT Verbal section?
Before enrolling for the course, my accuracy in SC was somewhere close to 50-60% in 700+ level questions. I realized that this is not enough if I have to break the V40 barrier.
After studying using Verbal Online and consistently practicing the processes taught in the course, I could see a significant improvement in my verbal performace. Towards the end of my preparation, I was consistently scoring more than a V40 in each of the GMATPrep mocks.
e-GMAT’s Verbal Course is worth every dollar spent.
Glad the course helped you, Vaibhav. Any preparation related advice that you’d like to give to your fellow GMAT aspirants?
Do not wait until you are in a situation where you can study for multiple hours everyday for 2-3 months. It is okay even if you study only for one hour or less some days. Do not procrastinate.
Also, make sure to frame preparation strategy and follow a methodical process to solve questions in order to ace the GMAT

220 points
Hi Bhagawat. Congratulations on scoring a 750. How does it feel to achieve a dream score?
Amazing! I was pleasantly surprised with a 200+ point score improvement compared to my previous attempt. e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep course helped me jump from 630 (V28) to 750 (V41).
How was your experience of using the SC portion of the course?
The 3-step process for SC is a sure shot way to get questions correct. The most important point which i would like to mention is that you guys made the difficult terms made so easy to understand (no one in this world would teach using terms such as verb-ed modifiers, verb-ing modifiers, noun+noun modifiers etc). All the appositives, gerunds, reflexives and infinitives can take a toss in front of your methodology. With each session, my confidence grew and so did my accuracy.
Glad to hear that. How about CR?
Rajat’s CR sessions were superb and the concept of pre-thinking is absolutely a gold mine. The negation test and variance analysis actually helped me during my exam.
Were there any other aspects of the course that you’d like to mention?
Yes – the two amazing workshops which you conducted for the first time. I am GLAD you did that. They gave a real insight about my preparation trajectory and highlighted the areas I had to improve. I could get an accuracy of 88% on the OG12 SC section and 94% on the CR section.
What did you do differently this time that, according to you, played a crucial role in your tremendous score improvement?
I tracked my mistakes, analyzed every wrong choice as to why it was wrong, followed the 3-step process blindly, in short did everything you guys told me to do.
We’re quite glad the course helped you, Bhagawat. Is there anything else that you’d like to add for your fellow test takers?
People say it’s no magic to score well on GMAT and that you need to work very hard. I say, what e-GMAT does is pure MAGIC!
Thank you for your words of appreciation Bhagawat. It was nice speaking to you. We wish you the best for your future endeavors.
Thank you e-GMAT team.

Hi Anupam. How are you doing?
I am good and quite happy, I must say. I am happy that I was able to crack the GMAT in my first attempt itself.
Can you tell us a bit more about your preparation?
I thought I would sail through the Verbal section of the GMAT as I was fairly comfortable with language in general. However, it took only a couple of mock CATs to cut me down to size. I realized I needed help in understanding some things and unlearning others.
How did you come across e-GMAT?
I came across e-GMAT on GMAT Club and attended a free webinar that Rajat hosts on Saturdays. I instantly connected with the way of teaching and hence decided to purchase the Verbal Online course.
What are your thoughts on the Verbal Online course?
The course is much more structured and comprehensive than any other course I have seen. It walks you through detailed instructions for every possible topic and the concept files are amazingly well organized. The topics are arranged in a fashion that makes it easy to assimilate. The practice provided in the course is brilliant and really makes you work on your concepts.
Glad to hear that the course helped you, Anupam. How did the SC portion of the course help you?
For SC, I think this is the best course there is. Before going through this course, I was a bit hesitant The concept files are exhaustive and I felt completely ready for SC after one pass through all files. SC became a strong point since the process really helped. The 3-step approach to SC is extremely helpful and makes the most challenging questions seem very easy.
How about the CR and RC portions of the course?
For CR, the pre-thinking approach demonstrated is brilliant. It really makes you take a good hard look at the argument before jumping to an answer, and I believe this is the only way to achieve both accuracy and speed in Verbal on the GMAT.
The reading strategies provided for RC are something that work together brilliantly and helped me get into the right frame of mind to decipher even the most complex passages.
The reading strategies provided for RC are something that work together brilliantly and helped me get into the right frame of mind to decipher even the most complex passages.
How was the support provided by the team?
The team at e-GMAT is extremely helpful. I panicked a bit during the last few days and shot an email out to them. However, Rajat personally responded and helped me calm down a lot. The team is friendly and really invests in your preparation.
Would you like to add anything else?
I owe my Verbal score of 41 solely to e-GMAT. The process and structure really helped me improve my skills. The way the concepts are taught, I am sure I will carry this knowledge throughout my MBA as well. Thanks for a great product and service!

Hi Anjan. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I am 20 years old, currently a final year undergraduate student from Mechanical Engineering department,IIT Kharagpur.
What prompted you to take the GMAT?
I always had MBA as my long term goal but since I was shortlisted for the 2nd round of ISB’s YLP program, I had to submit my GMAT scores before the deadline.
Can you tell us a bit about your initial preparation?
Before starting my prep I did go through some de-briefs. However, I did not realize how difficult it is to score above 700. I decided to give a mock and a shocking 610 on it was a big reality check for me.
How did you come across e-GMAT?
After my first mock, I realized that I seriously lacked the basic skills required for the Verbal section of GMAT.This was when I came across e-GMAT. I had attended one of the free webinars by Rajat and I fell in love with the concept of core skills. I immediately enrolled for Verbal Online and the course is definitely worth every penny invested!
What are your thoughts on the Verbal Online course?
The course is well paced. In fact, everything is so structured and systematic that you will be able to understand the toughest of concepts with ease. All the topics are extensively covered and the course is designed to test you at every stage and to provide you with ample practice at the appropriate junctures.
Would you like to add anything else?
I thank Rajat, Payal, Shraddha, and Krishna for all the courses and very prompt responses to queries. I owe my success completely to you guys! Thank you so much 
Thank you Anjan. Wish you all the very best for your future endeavors.
Thank you Team e-GMAT.

"Without a doubt, the reason for my verbal score improvement."
GMAT
700
Hi Adam. You have seen a dramatic improvement in your GMAT score in this attempt. What happened in the first two attempts?
Before e-GMAT, I scored a 490 and a 530 on my previous attempts with a verbal score of 26, and I was devastated. I had used MGMAT’s full book series for the first attempt and added in Magoosh’s online prep for the second. After recovering from the results, I decided I would take the GMAT one last time. However, I was really in need of the right approach and methodology to tackle the GMAT.
As a native speaker, what prompted you to opt for e-GMAT?
Initially, I wasn’t sure whether e-GMAT works for me as I am a native speaker. However, after a bit more of research, I decided to go through their free trial and attend their free webinars. I realized that their teaching methodology works for anyone struggling with verbal in general. I immediately subscribed to their Verbal Live Prep course.
How did the approach at e-GMAT help you in your preparation? Is there anything specific that you followed in your preparation?
The approach and methodologies used to learn the concepts and solve the questions are without a doubt the reason for my verbal improvement. To get the most out of the live sessions, I made sure to complete the pre-requisites for the session so that the instructor can help you identify and address your true weaknesses. Speaking from experience, I can confidently say that live feedback such as this can really benefit your overall prep.
What aspects of the course helped in your preparation?
The course is carefully designed to help inculcate concepts, track progress and learn the application. This helps the learner to ensure progressive learning.
Can you give an example?
For example, at the end of each concept you are given a quiz. The quiz is not just a bunch of GMAT-like questions. It is a specialized quiz to reinforce what you have just learned. This is just one example. The course has been very well-designed keeping the average test taker in mind.
How much improvement did you see from the course?
I noticed a sharp spike in my verbal accuracy after completing this course and eventually, I scored a 700 with a V35 – a 9-point Verbal score improvement.I would strongly recommend the Verbal Live Prep course for anyone seeking an increase, big or small, in verbal score.
What advice would you give to your fellow GMAT aspirants?
Do not be afraid to go through all the verbal concepts more than once, if you feel the need to do so. Use the video concepts and recordings as many times as needed!
Everyone has specific needs for effective preparation. For me, I needed interaction, videos, and hands on learning content, and Verbal Live Prep is the go-to course for these.

Hi Sankalp. How does it feel scoring a 750 and a V42?
It feels great! Your verbal course is really a game changer and worth every dollar and probably more.
This is your second attempt at the GMAT. How much did you score in your first attempt.
I first attempted the GMAT in 2012 and scored a 680 (Q49, V34).
What steps did you take after your first attempt?
After 4 years of sitting on that score, I decided to retake the GMAT and my target score was 750. To achieve this score, I knew I had to significantly improve my performance on the verbal section. Before I joined a paid prep-course, I wanted to spend sometime preparing on my own and seeing how it goes. After 2 weeks of flying solo, I realized my efforts lack direction and it is better to join a properly structured course.
Why did you not join a classroom coaching?
Classroom courses are only as good as the instructor taking your class. As I am living in a small town, I knew that the trainers available would not be too good. At this point I was fairly certain that I need to enroll myself in an online prep course. This is when I decided to give e-GMAT a try.
How did e-GMAT help you with your verbal preparation?
Opting for e-GMAT was the best decision I made in my test prep. Let me just say that e-GMAT has decoded the mystery that GMAT verbal is for most non-natives. If you do their Sentence Correction module properly, you are set. I have become such a big fan of e-GMAT that I recommend the course to every aspirant I know.
Would you like to add anything else?
There is no magic pill to ace the GMAT. However, you can ensure the best possible returns from your effort if you take this course. I reached my target score of 750 in a little over 2 months.

Hi Rishi. Can you tell us a bit about your preparation before joining e-GMAT?
Before joining e-GMAT, SC was the biggest problem area for me; although I had completed MGMAT Sentence Correction guide numerous times, I could not score above V28 in my first attempt.
How was your preparation after enrolling in e-GMAT’s SC course?
After my first attempt, I took a break for a couple of months and then joined e-GMAT SC. I must say, I was amazed to see my verbal accuracy improve significantly in a span of less than a month.
Did you do anything else for SC?
No. I did nothing but e-GMAT SC course along with OG and OG Verbal Review. I can wholeheartedly say that this course was the key for my 740 score.
That’s great, Rishi. Would you like to add anything else for your fellow test takers?
e-GMAT SC is a gold mine! This course helped me improve from V28 to V40 in 30 days!
Thank you. Wish you all the best for your future endeavors!

"The best decision in my GMAT journey."
GMAT

Hi Shekhar, Congratulations on scoring a whopping 770! How does it feel to achieve your dream score?
Very happy and quite relieved, frankly, having improved from a mere 600 in my first attempt.
Can you tell us a bit about your first attempt at the GMAT?
While preparing for my first attempt, my primary source for reference material was second hand advice from friends who had taken the exam recently and had scored about 640-50. I purchased the full course from Economist and finished it, took their mocks, and some more free mocks from Manhattan and GMAT Prep.
According to you, what went wrong with your first attempt?
My preparation should have been more methodical and planned. The course from Economist was not really something one can use to aim beyond a 650. Moreover, I had some personal issues at that time. So, all of these aspects had a compounded effect on my performance, and I ended up with a 600.
How did you come across e-GMAT for your preparation?
For my second attempt, I had a study partner with whom I tried MGMAT books. However, when I tried the Manhattan quant guides I found them just too boring. With my research I finally decided that I would buy the e-GMAT’s GMAT Online – the online self-learning course for both Quant and Verbal – in April of 2016. This probably is the best decision I made in my GMAT journey.
How did you find the Quant portion of the course?
I liked the structured approach in the course and also the quick results it produced. The course made me focus on a single thing – getting the application right – without any confusion.
Did you find Quant Scholaranium helpful?
Scholaranium is a must-have tool for any GMAT aspirant. I was usually decent in quant apart from some silly mistakes. So, I found Manhattan books too easy. However, Scholaranium kept me on the ground by throwing quite a few challenging problems – especially helpful for anyone targeting a Q50 or Q51.
How was your experience using the Verbal portion of the course?
I quickly realized that the rave reviews for e-GMAT Verbal are not unfounded. I started learning the concepts from the course and practiced the concepts in Scholaranium. In 2 months, I improved my accuracy from 45 % to 83 %.
That’s great Shekhar. Would you like to add anything else for your fellow test takers?
After learning the concepts taught in the course, practice using the processes prescribed in the course and you’re sure to get a Q50 or Q51. In my case, after using this course for around 3 months, I scored a Q50 in my second attempt – a whopping 10-point improvement in Quant.

Score improvement:
80 points
Hi Anirudh. Can you tell us a bit about your initial preparation?
Since I have graduated from one of the top engineering colleges in India, I never faced issues with quant section. Without much efforts I was scoring in the range of 49 – 51. However my pain point was the verbal section. I did not have proper structure in place for verbal preparation. Also, I could never develop the confidence of reaching a point where I could say that I would score > 35 in the verbal section despite exhausting my study materials such as Manhattan SC guide, Manhattan CR guide etc.
How did you come across e-GMAT?
I was so frustrated with my struggle to improve in the verbal section that, at one point of time, I even thought of putting my preparation on hold. That is when I stumbled upon e-GMAT Verbal Online course on Facebook. I realized that this course is tailor-made for people like me who are weak in Verbal. I immediately enrolled for the course and even today, I believe that this step single-handedly changed the course of my preparation.
How was the content of the course?
The course provides excellent quality content, I must say. The online video modules cover all the essential topics covered on the GMAT with exhaustive detail and impart methodical processes to be followed to solve any question on the GMAT.
How did Scholaranium help you?
Scholaranium is a very powerful platform to analyse ones performance/progress after one completes certain topics. Additionally it lets you set the topics you would specifically like to be tested on with attributes such as time, sub section, etc. Highly effective in my case. I used it extensively by filtering questions based on the topics I wasn’t good at and started tracking my progress.
How was the support provided by the team?
Any concept or question related queries are addressed in the internal forums. These forums have tons of useful discussions and are a big knowledge repository. Whenever I had a query not related to any doubts, I would mail to the support team and they would provide me with prompt and effective responses. The eGMAT team also provides its users with a study plan. This is also very effective as it defines your goals for the course of your preparation.
Would you like to add anything else?
I have seen ample materials online but none comes close to the quality which eGMAT provides. Also, the verbal online course is priced at a very reasonable rate compared to products offered by eGMAT’s competitors.

What made you take the Verbal Live Prep course?
I took the e-GMAT VLP course with the intention of learning GMAT specific tips and tricks to crack the verbal component. However, soon, I realized that the course methodology is far above the simple tricks and is much more focused on building a test taker’s confidence and ability to tackle any verbal question.
How did e-GMAT aid your preparation?
eGMAT verbal not only gives you a comprehensive understanding of the aspects tested on the GMAT but also provides you a structured approach to tackle any surprise that the GMAT can throw. This I feel is a differentiating factor from other courses. I can guarantee you that if you follow the course structure as it is prescribed, you will be sure to achieve your target score.
How was your test day experience?
On the day of my exam, I was down with fever and was feeling miserable. However, I still managed to score a 720 with a V37. The diligent application of the process is what saved me, I believe.
Amazing that you were able to score a 720 while down with a fever. Would you like to say anything to your fellow test-takers?
VLP is the best verbal course for non-natives and one of the best courses for anyone in general. You will not regret it for sure.
Thank you Narendra! Wish you luck for your future endeavors.

Hi Gautam. Why did you opt for e-GMAT’s Verbal Live Prep course?
After a V30, I realized I needed to improve in the Verbal section. Being a working professional, I could only study for 45-60 minutes a day. So, I needed a course that could provide me the flexibility to prepare at my convenience. That’s when I enrolled in Verbal Live Prep.
Can you tell us a bit about your preparation?
Since I could only study for 45 to 60 mins a day, I prepared my own strategy based on e-GMAT’s first strategy session and followed it using the course materials. I diligently followed the e-GMAT process, specially for RC. I took time to understand the passage and map the passage – rest was easy! After finishing the course, I attended the second strategy session of e-GMAT and understood the concept of TAKT TIME and started implementing it in my mocks.
Were there any other aspects of e-GMAT courses that you’d like to mention?
I absolutely loved the well-structured course. The audio-visual format is a great time saver for working professionals. The live prep sessions were very lively and detail oriented. I can confidently say that e-GMAT course and process played a crucial role in improving my score from V30 to V41.
Thank you, Gautam. We wish you the best for your future endeavors.

Hi Dennis. Can you tell us how long you prepared for the GMAT?
I had registered for the course a few months ago but had little time to study due to work constraints. I finally found two weeks of freedom to concentrate and prepare properly for the GMAT.
Amazing that you were able to achieve a V39 within 2 weeks. Can you tell us a bit more about your preparation?
I always struggled around the V33 area. So, I did an intense study prep by first watching the SC free webinar which was very useful for me in approaching each SC question. The three step approach was critical in edging me towards the 90%+ accuracy.
How did you come across e-GMAT?
As i researched for programs, I noticed that e-GMAT had a lot of good reviews from many GMAT Club users and it costs about 199 dollars for the English package. It is definitely worth it. If you want to get a feel before purchasing, please subscribe to the free webinar for SC, RC and CR to see for yourself. I am sure you would tread the same path :-).
What are your thoughts on the Verbal Online course?
The video format of the course is very effective, highly interactive 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. I would strongly recommend this to anyone.
Glad to hear that the course helped you, Dennis. How were the free webinars?
The live sessions – especially on SC and CR – were absolutely fantastic. They helped me more than all the 100+ page guides I had read much earlier before getting bogged down and taking a break.
How was the support provided by the team?
The support team was awesome. Although I purchased the course much before, I didn’t use it at all as I took a break from preparation. However, the team gladly extended my course till my GMAT date upon my request. e-GMAT team rocks!
Thanks Dennis. Would you like to add anything else?
I would like to wish all the fellow e-GMATers the best.
Within a week of study using Verbal Online, I was able to obtain a V39. If I decide to retake for a higher score, I would opt for e-GMAT again and spend a bit more time on preparation this time.
