I took the E-GMAT Online & Verbal Course after scoring a 680 on GMAT. I could improve my verbal from V35 to V39 and Quant from Q47 to Q50. It is a fantastic product which helps you improve your concepts and apply the learning to consolidate it. The course is thoughtfully broken down into small sub parts which helps you focus & identify your weak areas.
I would highly recommend this product for all aspirants who want to ACE GMAT.

Also E-GMAT support is great. They were kind enough to extend my subscription multiple times and once free of cost.


Thank you E GMAT

Before I started using the E-gmat's verbal live prep course, I had used Magoosh premium subscription, manhattan verbal guides, and the Powerscore CR bible for my verbal preparation, so basically, I had a fair idea of the content tested in the verbal section.

I was scoring in the low 30(s) on the official mock tests. However, I was almost never confident about my answers in SC, I was stuck between 2 choices for almost 40% of 600 level questions questions and almost all 700 questions, and I was usually lost during the RC section.

For someone who had basic knowledge about the content but who struggled to apply those concepts, my set of pros and cons for the course are as follows:-

PROS:-
1. E-gmat has absolutely nailed the idea of what GMAT wants to test. The meaning based approach in every element of the test is what one needs to perform better on the test and E-gmat's course is built on that idea. After taking the course, I started primarily focusing on taking my time and comprehending the information that was presented to me and I can't stress on how important that is, especially on the harder questions.
2. The structured approach by E-gmat for every section provides you with a toolkit to attack any type of question with confidence. It is very essential to have a strategy for individual question types to avoid last-minute hiccups, to be confident about your preparation, and to save some precious time.
3. The course is very comprehensive. I have never seen a course that is nearly as comprehensive as E-gmat when it comes to SC. They have dealt with almost everything that can be tested.
4. Brilliant instructors who know how to impart their knowledge to you.
5. The course is optimized for non-natives and it is very helpful to build your verbal (and English in some cases) knowledge for the GMAT and the world beyond that.
6. Seamless live classes which were very interactive.
7. In the course, there was a section about how to read stuff on the GMAT. It can be a game changer was those who need to channelize their brain for the GMAT and leave behind some counterproductive reading habits. For instance, as someone who has only taken Indian competitive exam, I was highly motivated to skim through the RC passages and finish reading them as soon as possible. E-gmat certainly helped me to break this habit and to read the GMAT way.
8. The scholaranium has some great GMAT-like questions to practice.
9. Value for money.
10. E-gmat provides you with amazing, personalized strategy to prepare for the test and to approach the test on the D-day.

CONS:-
1. As someone who was already scoring in the 30s, who had basic idea of the content, and who had solved and deeply analysed some 150 questions in the verbal official guides, I don't think the live sessions added much value to me. The idea was to do some questions live using the E-gmat approach and to build the discussion on them. However, in all the sessions, I thought that the fact that I already registered while going through the online course or had practiced while solving a scolaranium question was reinstated. If you resonate with my type of profile, I highly recommend that you go for the online verbal course rather than the live prep course. However, if you are struggling with the foundational knowledge, you should go for the latter.
2. As per my experience, the query resolution system on the E-gmat forum is not very robust. I would give a shoutout to Magoosh here for almost always resolving my question with a very comprehensive solution within 24 hours. I don't know if it happened just with me but the queries I wrote on e-gmat forum were solved in a week or more, and once, a query was resolved after a month.

Verdict: I think the pros of the course far-outweigh the cons and I don't regret my investment in the course at all. If you are thinking about the current verbal score I hold, it is solely because of how I deviated from the devised strategy on the test-day because of test anxiety and not at all because of anything provided by E-gmat.

E-GMAT's Mentorship program is a sure-shot means to achieving a top GMAT score. When I approached the e-GMAT strategy team for assistance with my study plan, I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Ashutosh (E-GMAT mentor), who added me to his cohort of 14 absolutely brilliant individuals. I will go through each component in detail:

1. Weekly hyper-specific study plans: Having them at my disposal helped eliminate ambiguity, and gave me a direction as to what I need to do on a daily basis. There were definitely a few weeks when I could not keep up with the deadlines due to several other engagements, but the weekly check-ins and the subsequent reprimands (haha) surely helped me stay consistent.

2. Motivation-booster: In the third month of my preparation, I was not able to score anywhere near my dream score. I felt as if I couldn’t do it, and was almost on the verge on giving up. It was then that Ashutosh helped me believe in myself and not give up, at least not without a fight. We also had strategy huddle sessions every two weeks where the entire cohort met virtually, discussed individual problems and where we were presented with case studies describing the flaws in different study plans and ways to avoid them. Having people transverse the same journey as yours, undoubtedly helps you in staying motivated and trusting the process.

3. Course-Correction: I absolutely hated making error logs, the primary reason why I was not achieving my dream score. After taking a few mocks, Ashutosh and I had a call wherein he pinpointed how I absolutely need to identify the pattern in my mistakes. That advice worked like magic. Although, I didn’t continue with the error log for too long, it definitely helped me streamline the most important phase of my preparation.

4. E-GMAT Course: Last but not the least, the e-GMAT course is one of the best courses available currently. It goes over all the minute details, and also provides the user with regular feedback points to evaluate one’s understanding in a particular topic. It is the only resource you need to prepare for the GMAT.

I would highly recommend this program to all aspiring test-takers. These mentors work with an unmatched passion because they really want you to succeed. Ashutosh was always available for me, and answered even my most frivolous queries without a sign of irritation. All he ever asked for in return was sincerity and consistency. Most importantly, I’m grateful to the entire e-GMAT team for such a seamless and a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.

Hello everyone
I am glad to inform you all that I score a 730 on my GMAT finally!
I would like to thank the E Gmat team for this improvement, since without them , this score seemed like a distant dream.
I remember the first time after purchasing the course, I opened E Gmat and felt pretty lost. I decided to contact the support team and within 2 hours I received back a reply detailing the best way I should go ahead with my GMAT goal.
The plan laid out by the support team was really helpful .
There were strict accuracy percentages defined and there were times when I couldn't reach them, however, the Egmat team was always encouraging in these situations and motivated me to do better.
After I completed my prep, I decided to take a sigma x mockand got a 700.It was then that Dhananjay was assigned to me as my Test Strategy Consultant. The very next day , Dhananjay sent me the next steps and analysed my mock.He made me realise that how I had a hard time letting go of questions and how my performance in Algebra was not upto the mark.
The best thing about preparing with E GMAT was the level of personal attention one gets. There were times when i got low and I was doing good, it was during these times that the E GMAT team supported me and pushed me to get back out there and work harder, AND I CNT THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR THAT!

The course was outlined very nicely and provided as easy way to improve on the areas I needed to. The Sigma mock tests were very realistic and the same level as the real GMAT. Dhananjay was my mentor and helped me focus on the areas I needed to focus on and would call me every week to set up a customized plan and make sure I was executing it, he was a big part of why I scored high on the GMAT and was able to improve. I was struggling on both quant and Verbal but more on Verbal and the course provides really good advanced questions that allowed me to get used to what I would see on exam day. I was hesitant at first about the Quant course but I ended up doing it and have no regrets. It helped me especially in the advanced topics section where the guidance from the course helped me achieve a top score. Overall, the e-GMAT course is worth it if you are looking for a score above 700 and have a lot to improve, Dhananjay was fantastic in responding quickly and guiding me to focus on my weak areas.

I came across e-gmat course on one of the gmatclub's forum. I was struggling with SC early-on and wasn't sure of a reliable source. I tried the free version of the e-gmat SC course and found it to be extremely effective. Not only were the concepts laid down clearly but they were subsequently strengthened through practice / application files. My initial plan was to only complete SC theory from the e-gmat's video course. But I was so impressed with the comprehensiveness of the content that I also completed the RC and CR course provided by them. Infact, I also ended up buying their quant course and sigma-x mocks, each of which played a significant part in my preparation.

Additionally, e-gmat strategy team's support for the students enrolled in their course is exceptional. It has been rarely the case that a query sent from me has taken more than a day to get resolved. I would specifically like to mention one of their strategy team's member Dhananjay (DJ) , who I came across when I asked for a review from e-gmat's team for one of my sigma-x mocks. I distinctly remember the detailed video-analysis that he provided for my first mock attempt. I was surprised by how close it was to my own assessment of the test. The fact that that my preparation issues include both ability and time management became clear to me only when he used the sigma-x mock's ESR to explain me where I was spending more time. Additionally, my attitude of not letting go the harder questions was hurting me big time in the mocks. I was aware of this issue already but I guess hearing it out loud from someone makes all the difference.

Lastly, I would like to point out that my last week interactions with the team, especially with DJ went a long way in giving me a clear direction on the way forward. Contrary to the popular opinion that one should only revise the concepts and not burn yourself out in the last, I was advised to give some gmatclub mocks to fill in the gaps still existing in my timing strategy. This went a long way in making my actual GMAT experience extremely smooth and unnerving.

Cannot thank e-gmat team enough for the support. I am planning to give the GMAT exam again in future to increase my score further and would mostly choose the e-gmat course again.

Great course. Especially if you want to achieve a very high score. in my case I needed to improve a bit to get to 550 minimum so the exercises were a bit too difficult at times but their brought great insight and prepared me to think quickly and understand the underlying assumptions on the exercises. Also, the staff was very quick to answer all of my questions and most of the times I was able to find my answer in the forums.
The verbal part is very detailed as well, although I personally felt I spent too much time watching the first units. I would recommend to first start doing the exercises and see what is your performance, because even though there are some very specific tricky things (e.g. subjunctive) you would probably gain more progress by focusing on sentence correction.

I took the e-GMAT Verbal Online after my first GMAT attempt (Got a 680 with Q49 V33)

Pros:

The SC course is definitely hands-down one of the best courses in the market currently. It's extremely beneficial for people with conceptual gaps. I increased my accuracy in SC from ~60% to ~80% with the help of this course.

I personally feel the RC is pretty good too. I was struggling with RC and none of the 'shortcuts' or 'techniques' I found online helped me with this. The e-GMAT's RC module with its 'predicting the flow of the passage' and 'involving yourself in the passage' really made sense and helped me a lot!

Cons:

The number of questions for practice is very low. Considering other good courses such as Expert's Global (comparing solely based on the number of questions/ quizzes), the number of questions and quizzes for practice in e-GMAT scholaranium is very low.

I gave my GMAT again and now have a 720 with Q50 V37 (might give it another shot). The increase in the verbal score is majorly because of my increase in accuracy in SC. BIG TIME!

Cheers! All the best!

I think E-Gmat is a very good value for your money service. I took the GMAT Prep mock test to get an idea of where I was before starting preparation and scored a 720. I purchased the Egmat course because I was targeting a score of 760. I think their sentence correction course is really good. In my case I think it improved my verbal score by 01-02 points but that is because I was already at a good level. I took the GMAT test and scored a 730. My sigma mock scores were as follows:
1) 700 (Before starting preparation)
2) 700 (After completing sentence correction section)
3) 750 (one week after mock 2- in this week i practiced in the scholaranium)
4) 760 (one week after mock 3- continued scholaranium practice)
5) 760
GMAT Prep 2- 760

Afterwards I didn't prepare for 06 months and it was only last week that I started preparing again but this time around I focused more on the official problems and practiced my weak areas from the previous ESR and scored a 760 with 05 days of preparation.

In conclusion Egmat is a good course but if you want an elite score you need to focus on the official guide more. Egmat's sentence correction is very good but limited in terms of difficult problem types. Their RC is good and I think their Critical Reasoning is the weakest part of the three, albeit still good.
I gave it 05 stars because it is very cheap.
One thing that I didn't like was that I tried to talk to Mr.Rajat or Payal but I couldn't until after I had taken the test. Eventually I figured it out myself on how to score higher in the retest.

I gave the GMAT online test on 23rd June 2020 and got a 700 on my first attempt. This is a 90-point improvement from the first sigmaX mock test (free) that I took before signing up for this course. I read other reviews for eGMAT and I believe they cover most of the things I wanted to say, so I will keep mine short. eGMAT's coursework is comprehensive and covers all you need to study for the test and its question bank is massive, but the main reason you are paying for this course is to learn techniques (or hacks) on how you need to study and prepare for this test. They also have mentors who review your profile and give study advice, which I greatly benefited from. I will give a couple of points as advice for aspiring GMAT test takers.
1. Sign up for eGMAT. It works.
2. After signing up, do not rush into studying the course materials and solving questions right away. They have a few informative videos to guide you on how to best use their coursework and their question banks; this really teaches you HOW to go about studying and preparing for this test and best exploit their resources. This part is extremely important, so follow their advice to a tee, you will do great.
