Just like others, I also started my preparation by solving OG (which is of course not the right way to start) and I soon realized that I am not improving. Since I was not planning to apply to B-schools this year, I was not consistent with my prep and hence decided to invest in preparation for becoming serious.

After doing a lot of research, I finally decided to go ahead with e-gmat. I can surely say that it’s a no brainer decision to go ahead with e-gmat if you are targeting a high score.

The e-gmat course is very structured and comes with support from e-gmat strategy team. I was fortunate enough to get support from Dhananjay. I was under the impression that studying GMAT verbal is going to be a subjective experience but his 1st email opened my eyes and explained a structured approach to ace the GMAT.

He worked with me very closely and created a customized plan for me after analyzing my mocks and highlighted my weakness in managing time and low accuracy in SC questions.

He was even available on the weekends to answer questions and resolve my doubts. (Though that should not be the expectation :) )

I genuinely appreciate his dedication and he is really an expert in helping people ace the GMAT.

The course is very carefully designed taking into consideration the exact type of questions that get asked in the exam.
1. Sentence Correction - The course presented only the topics / concepts that are relevant from the exam point of view. This helped save a lot of time. Although, I followed a slightly different approach while attempting the questions, the concepts were very well explained.
2. Critical Reasoning - I tried following the pre-thinking concept. Although, I was not successful in pre-thinking at all the times, yet it helped me get to the right answer a lot of times. The concepts helped me develop a thought process that is needed to attempt the questions correctly.
3. Reading Comprehension - I just practiced RC questions from the Scholaranium. Did not see all the video lectures.
4. Scholaranium - This is a true TREASURE. The number of questions are more than sufficient to ace the exams. I re-attempted a lot of questions. The best part was that I had the flexibility to choose the number of questions and the time that I want to allocate. I
5. Forum - Was really helpful in addressing a lot of my doubts that were not addressed through the solutions. Kudos to the entire support team for addressing all the doubts so patiently and quickly !

In all, the course provided a very structured way of studying. Was really happy with the course till the very end.

Very helpful for verbal section, especially the SC content. EGMAT's mock tests are also very close to main GMAT, even on the scoring front.

I used EGMAT's verbal online resource for SC preparation and it helped me achieve good accuracy.

Prethinking also helped in CR.

Would recommend EGMAT for anyone looking to take their verbal score to 40+

Have also heard good things about their Quant resource but I personally didn't use it.

One of the good features was revising concepts using concept specific questions, by skipping the concepts.

The analytics provided is also helpful to understand where you are going wrong

You can't go wrong with e-GMAT. The course is comprehensive, the analysis tools are highly useful, and the questions are great at highlighting where your weaknesses lie when you get them wrong.

The quant course is pretty much perfect. It's comprehensive, has extensive material and practice questions on all relevant topics, and the difficulty levels are pretty much the same as those of the real GMAT. On top of that, the analysis tools time every question individually and collect data for average and benchmark times, so if you think you might have trouble with timing on the real GMAT, the quant course is perfect for you. I went from 44 (48%) to 50 (86%), and probably would have scored 51 if I hadn't misread a I II III question in a hurry (those questions are my bane, on one of my real GMAT attempts I identified the correct answer to be "2 only", but chose "II only" before remembering to check what those statements actually said).

The verbal course is very good. The only imperfection is that the writing style is a little bit different from the GMAT's, but that can be easily remedied by doing only official questions after you've learned all the material in the course and have about a week before your exam. I didn't actually improve my official score at all in verbal after having done the course, because I apparently screwed up a bunch of critical reasoning questions (the verbal question type I have the most performance variability with), but I nonetheless think the course is great for verbal because I was scoring 45 and 47 on 5 official practice tests before the real exam (4 of which I had done more than a month and a half before, 1 of which I had never done and then scored 47 on), whereas I had been scoring consistently less than 43 on all practice exams I took before taking the course.

If you're still unsure, do the free trial. The audio quality kind of sucked the when I did it, but the format suited me and the practice questions were very useful. The audio and the rest of the media in the real course turned out to be clean and sophisticated anyway, so don't worry about that.

I took the eGMAT Verbal Online course for my GMAT Prep and found the course to be really comprehensive. It is a great course for someone starting from scratch and for someone who has no idea about SC and CR.
The EGMAT team also has been really supportive and instrumental in helping me achieve my target score.

Some of the pros of eGMAT community are

There is a eGMAT forum available as part of the course. Its a discussion and doubt solving forum where eGMAT experts answer student queries. The eGMAT forum is the best place to get answers to all your doubts from silliest to the most intelligent ones. Shraddha who is an SC expert helped me immensely by diligently answering and resolving my doubts within a day. The eGMAT forum is a kind of a gold mine with a great list of questions already, which has been asked by past eGMAT students. Many times, just going through the questions ,already asked, solves the doubt and gives an immense amount of knowledge around the question or concept.

The eGMAT team is really supportive and responsive for any issue or problem one faces while preparing. When I could not achieve my target score in my second attempt even after putting all the hard work I could, it was really disappointing and demoralizing. Sharang and Karan from the eGMAT team helped me analyze my ESR and assured that I can achieve my target score if I followed the right strategy. They shared the story of Jim Yi , which really inspired me a lot. I followed what they said and I achieved my target score of 750 in the next attempt.

During the course of preparation, the eGMAT team shared some videos from Rajat and Payal which has helped me a lot in creating the customized tests in the right way and analyzing my progress in Verbal ability along the way. Even though the package is online, the team is very approachable and responsive to all the student’s problems and doubts. They are really invested in the success of their students. It was overall a great experience studying with eGMAT.

After reading all kinds of books and online material, I thought that I had exhausted every great material available out there. At that point my highest score in verbal was V29. However, when I took Egmat verbal, I realized that there were a number of concepts in verbal, I was weak at.
e-GMAT's course truly helped me to bridge those conceptual gaps. There are numerous reason as to go with Egmat Verbal course: First and foremost, Egmat teaches you the right way to attempt all kinds of questions. It does not rely on petty tricks, but on solid concepts. Secondly, scholaranium, e-GMAT's flagship product, helps to truly cement your concepts to the core. Thirdly and most importantly, e-GMAT's support is unparalleled. This was e-GMAT's team suggestion that changed my test taking game entirely. Had I not improved verbal, I would have never achieved 730 in GMAT. Many thanks to Egmat.

My main focus for taking e-gmat was for improving my verbal score. My verbal score was 27 first time around and 34 after taking the course.
The verbal course is well structured. Modules for each topic covers exhaustive concepts tested in exam and clearly explained. I just went through all videos and practice questions and quizzes. Questions in scholarium are descent GMAT level questions.
Meaning based approach for sentence correction questions really helped me improve accuracy for SC questions. With systematic method taught for critical reasoning , I could easily answer difficult level questions.
Sigma mocks also gives a GMAT like experience and gives in depth and ESR analysis

e-GMAT's mentorship program was the X-factor in my reaching the 700 mark. When I approached e-GMAT to help me with the study plan it asked me to take a mock to benchmark my level. I scored 640 on the mock and the folks at e-GMAT helped me identify areas of improvement. During one such discussion I was told that e-GMAT had a mentorship program and that if I was interested I could join one. I was introduced to Ashutosh and he was considerate enough to mentor me even though it had been a month since he started mentoring a batch and had no place for an extra person.

Few of the features of the mentorship plan:

1. You are given a weekly plan detailing out what to study each day and how much time to spend on each. There were weekly check ins to gauge the progress. These really helped me stay focused and complete the assigned tasks as there was a sense of accomplishment
2. The batch would catch on a fortnightly basis to discuss problems and help each other out. Ashutosh would help us with various strategies and help course correct when someone got astray
3. Ashutosh was just a call away and he would always respond to calls/texts, no matter when I pinged him. He was really invested in my progress and helped me achieve what I did

The course content of e-GMAT is very well curated and covers everything one needs to ace the GMAT. Scholaranium is a wonderful tool to test your ability and track your progress. It has around a 1000 questions in each of Quant and Verbal and each GMAT question type is very well covered. Each question has a detailed solution/explanation and the best part is that it not only provides a detailed explanation for the correct answer choice, but also provides a detailed explanation for each wrong answer choice. One can post one’s queries on each and every question and get a detailed explanation within 24 hours. I am amazed by the level of commitment and knowledge each and every one at e-GMAT has. The analytics available helps you pinpoint your weak areas so that you could go back to the study material to improve.

Just today I was speaking to a colleague about GMAT and when he mentioned that SC was his weak area, I immediately recommended e-GMAT course to him. Such has been the impact e-GMAT had on my prep.

I highly recommend this course to all those who want to crack the GMAT. Right from the course content to the mentors and faculty, e-GMAT is a class apart.

I achieved a score improvement of 50 points in about 4 weeks.

I attempted the exam right after 2 weeks of using the egmat course and could see an improvment of 20 points. However, that was the not the best score I could have gotten since I messed up with the exam timings.
Hence, I decided to give another attempt but since the application deadlines were approaching it had to be quick. Personalized guidance from the eGMAT team was a lifesaver here. DJ from eGMAT team reached out and helped me with personalized plan, ESR analysis and a detailed/step-by-step approach for the prep. I was missing the right timing approach for the exam. DJ helped with just the thing I needed, helping me priortize. Alongside, the scholaranium with its amazing analysis directed to my weaknesses which I could then work on quickly. In my view scholaranium is the best prep guide there can be. Two weeks after the previous attempt, I attempted again and saw a huge jump of 30 point, an overall jump of 50 points in around 4 weeks.

Thank you eGMAT.

I feel quite happy to write on this forum about my GMAT Journey, which I started in the beginning of 2017. Coming from an engineering background, I was good at quant; However, Verbal remained my Achilles' heel, and I could only reach V29 in my five attempts that I took from 2017 to 2018. With the breakout of Covid-19 in March 2020, I finally decided to give one last shot to GMAT, and this time, I chose e-GMAT for its structured methodology towards acing the GMAT exam.
After a few weeks of enrolling on the e-GMAT platform, I received an email that offered free mentorship for a selected few. My cohort of around 15 people was mentored by Dhananjay(DJ). Not only was DJ able to identify my weak areas but also provided weekly milestones that helped me improve the score linearly as I progressed through the milestones. As an example, For Reading Comprehension, I discussed the articles from 'The Economist' directly with DJ, and he asked me questions that helped me critically evaluate the passages as we read. This process helped me build stamina to read larger passages, and I also reduced my time from over 6 minutes to 3 minutes per passage.
Furthermore, I used to spend more than 2 minutes on almost every Verbal question before I enrolled with e-GMAT, however at the end of 4 months with e-GMAT, my average attempt time was 80 Sec for SC, 105 Sec for CR, and about 110 Sec for RC.
In the three months of my GMAT journey, not only DJ pushed me to do more but also motivated me to put in more effort to realize the dream score. I can also vouch for the e-GMAT platform because I have closely observed how e-GMAT selects its employees. I scored 710 in GMAT, and I can't thank enough to DJ and e-GMAT team enough for helping me reach the desired score.
