Let me keep this review neat , crisp and straight to the point. I am an Indian engineer and yes the stereotype is true. I am good at quant. I have always been topping my math classes from childhood. Hence, I started my GMAT prep considering I need no support from any external resources. But obviously I was wrong. I was falling in the test makers traps again and again. It was then when I realised a professional classes for GMAT prep.
I went through many online and offline options, but one day I came across an advertisement for a free webminar on GMAT number properties by eGMAT. I have attended the webminar and the next half an hour I purchased the entire course. I style of learning I experienced in eGMAT is phenomenal.
eGMAT courses donot teach you tips, tricks or shortcuts. With tips, tricks or shortcuts you'll only reach probably a Q48 and not a Q51. The courses teach you the simplest ways of understanding and tackling a quant question. No shortcuts whatsoever. This made it easier for me.
For example, since I am good at math , whenever I see a DS question I start solving it immediately and it is when I went through eGMAT course I understood wch questions are not supposed to be solved. Similarly for equation based questions, I never knew I could keep the variables till the end without substituting to make the problem simpler, or where to stop your calculation and move on to options. eGMAT had the most effective instructors and amazingly crafted videos which are suitable for students of any educational background.

The audio visual aids helped me remember concepts .The Scholaranium is a perfect tool to provide the GMAT exam experience Moreover, it also helped me to look at the areas where I needed improvement .The different approaches to algebra and the concepts of P&C has made it easier for me to understand .
I am planning to take GMAT in a month and I highly recommend it to everyone that e-gmat quant's structured approach is going to help you increase your score .

E-GMAT is a very well-structured online GMAT course. I purchased verbal live online course by recommendation of my friend who was able to improve his verbal score from V31-V32 to V40.
As a non-native English speaking student, I found that verbal section of GMAT was very difficult especially SC which was my greatest weakness. After I finished SC course, I was very impressed by detailed explanations on most tested topics in SC. It made me realized that I had overlooked some important concepts in my previous preparation. Moreover, E-GMAT 3-step solving approach was very practical in the real practice test. It helped me improving my verbal score on practice test significantly.
Another challenge for me was time allocation for GMAT preparation. As a consultant, I normally work for 10 hours on average each day. However, with E-GMAT platform, I was able to access to my lesson or take a quick concept quiz via my smart phone during my trip from home to work.
In overall, I would recommend E-GMAT course to those non-native speakers who wish to excel in verbal sections. Good luck on your GMAT journey!

I originally signed up for e-GMAT primarily for the SC course based on its reputation for having great SC concepts, but I ended up finding out that the other two courses were equally as helpful. The pre-quizzes before each concept gave me a good indication of how prepared I was for each concept, but I discovered that the concept files provided very good explanations of the fundamental rules of grammar and sentence construction. The quizzes at the end of each concept file allowed me to test and solidify my understanding of the lessons I had just completed. 

I found the Manhattan Prep SC to provide me a solid foundation, but the e-GMAT course solidified the concepts and provided with different tricks and shortcuts that other courses did not fully implement.

Although the SC course was my main reason for signing up, I ended up trying out the CR portion as well since I had also used the PowerScore CR Bible, but I kept struggling in applying certain concepts properly.

I scored relatively lower on most CR quizzes for quite some time, but the pre-thinking concept as well as the concept on identifying the conclusions allowed me to focus on the important portions were most assumptions come from. Once you patiently apply pre-thinking steps avoid rushing through each questions, you can answer solutions accurately and quickly, allowing you to spend more time on RC passages, which can take up most of your time. 

I originally was scoring in the low 30s despite having studied Manhattan SC and PowerScore CR, but the concepts and strategies from e-GMAT helped me identify wrong questions quickly to find the correct answer and my scored have increased up to low 40s.

I strongly advise going through the concept files multiple times even if you score highly since certain concepts are tougher to master and you may forget how to apply them since they are not naturally engrained in your mindset.

I recommend going through the concepts in order especially the CR portion since it is important to master identifying conclusions to be able to infer, and it is important to learn inference questions to allow you to pre-think for assumptions.

Although it is recommended to skip certain answer explanations if you got them right, I highly recommend going through the explanations that e-GMAT provides since most of the times many questions can have multiple assumptions you don't necessarily notice or you may have gotten a question right by chance and not by proper techniques.

I also think going through the CR portion before the RC portion helps since many RC questions are based on inference and assumptions skills that you can master in the CR portion.

Make sure to use both the Scholaranium and the OG questions to test out your skills since both these sources provide the most similar types of questions that you will see on the real test.

I strongly recommend signing up for e-GMAT since many courses have good material and provide you with most of the information the GMAT tests, but e-GMAT Verbal shows you the best way to answer questions efficiently. I will be taking the GMAT once again in April and will post my results from results..

I had taken the GMAT for the first time in September 2017. After having prepared for 3 months incessantly with a demanding job in Private Equity, i was scoring a modest 690 on my mock tests. I come from a convent school and have decent command over English language. Thus, I primarily studied from the Manhattan series (which is regarded as the holy bible for Verbal and thought that would be enough to crack the Verbal section. Being an engineer, Quant was never a struggle for me and i was scoring a consistent Q49 on my mock tests. This was going to be my first attempt and i was confident that i could get a decent score with this level of preparation. However, the GMAT taught me a lesson and showed how much i underestimated the test and especially the verbal section.
I scored a mere 640 on the actual exam and realized just how different the Verbal section was from what i had been practicing during my mocks. The GMAT tests very specific skills for the Verbal section. The meaning is of essence and not just the Grammar. I had focused only on the grammar rules during my preparation. At the same time i realised that the course material i used for practicing the Verbal section was far from what the actual questions were on the GMAT.
I was extremely confused about my strategy for prparation for the next attempt. More so because i had exhausted all the material - Kaplan, Veritas, Manhattan, OGs, in my previous preparation. This is when my friend recommended e-GMAT to me and i cant thank him enough. e-GMAT gave me a structure approach to tackling the Verbal section. Kudos to their support team for being so prompt and from the time i made my purchase they have been extremely helpful in guiding me through my preparation. Not only is the course content exhaustive, the approach to teaching the videos is simple yet detailed. The feature i love the most apart from the scholaranium of course, is the detailed explanation of each question and the trailing QandA. Reviewing the trailing QandA helped me understand what are the areas where one can go wrong and how to avoid those. Also, having answered GMAT once, i am now certain that e-GMAT's verbal section comes closest to the type of questions on actual test and difficulty level of the Verbal section.
I have been now getting a consistent 39-40 on my Verbal in mock tests. My next attempt is scheduled in June 2018 and i am hopeful that i can make it to my desired score this time around with the help of e-GMAT.

First of all i would like to congratulate all the educators of e-gmat that they are teaching the students and guiding them to right path.
Egmat properly guide students who really need to learn from scratch.
As always said nobody can reach everest in one day or ROME was not build in one day.
This course gradually builds your concepts and convert your weak points to strong points.
How this works?
First the conceptional video will help you to learn the basics and then you have to take the practice quiz (which is MUST to hone your quant skill). this quiz will build you more confident in applying concepts.
As we know GMAT is NOT A MUGGING exam. Its not that you learn the formula and start hitting the questions.
But, you should have solid understanding for the applications of the concepts that are mentioned in GMAT syllabus.
After this quiz , you will have chance to practice OG questions under time bound conditions. this will help you to be more self-assured. After that you can take assessment quiz which will tell you where you stand overall.
This part is my fav as this helps me a lot in knowing my weak and strong points. The Quant Online is not a course meant to be just get done with. It is designed in a way to make sure that you remember the concepts for times to come. I have been able to complete the course and during my practice sessions, keeping a score stable.
Even if you have any doubts , just go through forum or write your query. believe me they revert you within 48 hours. it means each student for them is valuable and paying close attention to his/her queries.

HATS OFF to team to have such a unique and best software that precisely measures your skills.

The questions that this team builds seems more related to Official questions that helps you more to be ease with application of process.
the best part of course is animation videos that doesn't make you feel bore. Moreover, if you are night owl and after work you are tired, i seriously suggest this course as it builds interest and makes you less sleepy in solving questions late night :).

Last but not least,Scholaranium will help you gauge precisely the areas of strengths and weaknesses and that too at a comminuted level. Because of this, you will know precisely where to focus your efforts on in the days leading up to the test.
in addition to perfect Scholaranium , Looking forward for CAT quizes also under this course soon :)

Pick up the tab in building these concepts with reference to right kind of practice material from the OG and Quant Review (stick to the official material). And get ready for D-DAY.

Special thanks for quant team for making me equanimous in solving hard questions with such a fantabulous course.

ALL THE BEST E-GMAT TEAM.
My wishes are with you and keep growing ........... :)

I was lacking in a suitable strategy . I was following raw methods . For sentence correction , I never understood the meaning of the sentence. With the 3 step strategy of egmat I could comfortably solve tough questions in decent time . How ever , there. was some problem with the videos and I had to oft en reload . Interactive questions helped to learn concepts effectively. Initially I took lot of time in learning the strategy . As I moved to the sectional tests , I started gaining momentum . Don’t concentrate on timing in the beginning . All concepts were not videos and few were in the form of articles

My Background:
Although I am not a native, I completed elementary to university education in Canada.
I have a mechanical engineering degree.
I have been working for 6 years as a project management professional in the oil and gas industry.
Initially, without any studying my baseline was 630 (Q47, V30) based on GMAC's prep test. I gave myself 50 days to study for the exam in total, and dedicated 10 days on the verbal section.

General Thoughts:
I purchased e-GMAT service because I heard so many good things about what the company offers. True enough, the contents offered were fantastic and of high quality.
However, if you are a native English speaker or someone like me, who has a good command of the language, the progress may seem a bit too dull. I found myself often skipping / fast forwarding on video lectures. To be honest, I lost my patience with the progression and started to study on my own. However, that is not a reason to take away any points from the quality of e-GMAT.

Result:
After 5 days of studying with e-GMAT plus 5 days of studying on my own, I took three GMAC's prep tests.
In the three mock exams, I scored (38, 40, 39 respectively). In the actual exam, I scored V38.

Would I recommend this e-GMAT?:
Yes and no. It really depends on what type of a student you are, and what your background is. For me, I was able to review valuable core concepts that I sort of have taken for granted (as I studied English throughout elementary to high school). Beyond that, studying on my own proved to be more efficient. However, if you are a non-native or you do not use English on a daily basis I would highly recommend e-GMAT.

If you have a day job and you’re working 5 days a week and you want to crack GMAT so badly in a go, the eGMAT online course is exactly what you need. Currently, I am preparing for my second GMAT as my first one didn’t go as planned. It was all Self-study with assistance from online videos from different sources and of course, OG’s. But for the second attempt, I really wanted to do it differently and avoid the same mistakes that I did before. I was looking for one course that would help me develop a methodical and structural approach to solve any GMAT problems and also help manage time in this busy schedule of mine.

After doing a lot of research myself, reading online reviews, I enrolled in eGMAT Quant Online Course. The eGMAT Quant course is a very well-designed and elegantly presented prep tool. After eGMAT’s latest enhancement, the look and feel is top-notch. It is so easy to navigate and everything is self-explanatory. The biggest advantage for Working Professionals like me is that it lets you study at your own pace.

The Quant Online course has everything that you need to ace GMAT Quant section. It helps you develop a Study plan depending on your target score and also it comes with an online tool to help you realize your sectional abilities. This is actually very cool! The Course is categorized into 5 sub-sections: Number Properties, Algebra, Geometry, Word Problems and Advanced Topics. Each sub-section has a lot of content and study material along with a lot of Practice and Application Files. After eGMAT’s latest enhancement, the course also includes problems from OG 2017 and 2018. This is saving me a lot of time.

The Scholaranium is where you can take customized quizzes and also test your individual section abilities. This is really helping me to identify my strong and weak areas and focus more on the weaker sections. This is a great tool and the way it considers the candidate's performance and does all the planning for the candidate is a big help. It is easy-to-use, versatile and flexible.

The Course is definitely a Confidence booster! It’s been few weeks since I started my prep using this course and I feel so good about it. I am confident that I will be able to hit Q50 mark this time. It was Q47 in my first attempt.

I would strongly recommend eGMAT online courses (both Verbal and Quant). The program is interactive and focuses on your weaknesses, with plenty of exercises and a full explanation on why each of the answers is wrong or correct. You get to learn many time-saving tips and techniques. The Support team is very helpful and excellent in responding to any queries.

Don’t ponder over. Trust eGMAT and go with it. Good Luck.

I have joined e-gmat Verbal on-line after reading many reviews with positive feedback about it. I have used both the on-line course and also scholaranium practice tool for verbal. Although I am still in the process for re-taking the exam I already can provide some insights about how the scholaranium tool is robust. The tool has the followings benefits:
1- It is close to GMAT question type to great extent,
2- It has the option of customizing practice to certain verbal areas to focus on weakness areas
3- It provides great analytics about your weakness, strengths
4- The e-gmat staff are great, they provide answer to any clarification, also the already existing feedback under each question is already helpful.
Overall a great tool, and can be enough as practice tool beside OG books practice questions.
