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.

E GMAT helped me immensely with verbal improvement. Proprietary techniques helped me ace the verbal section on my second attempt at the GMAT. The scholarinium questions are of excellent quality and are highly recommended for both quant and verbal. As a person from a non conforming background, dealing with topics from quant was made easy by module based study on the E-GMAT portal. The Sigma-X mock tests are representative of the actual GMAT test and provide you with an accurate ESR and analytics for self improvement. All in all EGMAT provides an analytical approach to the GMAT and helps save valuable time and effort by directing it to areas which genuinely need it.

I gave my GMAT on 27th November 2019 and got a score of 710 (V37, Q49). After reviewing multiple courses online, I decided to try e-GMAT considering the quality of lectures delivered in their online workshops. As the case with every engineer, my quants basics were clear, but Verbal was where I struggled a lot. e-GMAT helped me in clearing my basics in grammar, which were necessary for sentence correction. Their methodologies for teaching critical reasoning with the help of pre-thinking approach helps in molding your approach while tackling tricky questions. Scholaranium is an inexhaustive list of questions, which I used a lot during my preparation. e-GMAT's versatile course was what helped me in achieving my target of a 700+ score in around one month from an initial score of 640 in the mocks.

After averaging in the early 600's on mocks for a few months I knew I needed help to supercharge my GMAT prep. Everyone I asked about verbal improvement pointed me to E-GMAT and I was not disappointed when I started taking the course. After a month or so though, I realized how useful their platform is w.r.t stats and data-backed coaching so ended up taking the quant course as well. What works really well with E-GMAT is how deep they get with the theory and how hours of sitting through the modules, application files, and practice tests really build an intuition toward what the GMAT is asking you. Highly recommend buying the online pack as centralizing your learning to one platform has immense benefits. In ~3 months of prep with E-GMAT I jumped about 170 points to score a 740 :)

After one failed attempt at the GMAT on Feb 26th 2020 in which I scored a 660(Q48 & V32), I decided it was time for me to take some external support. Going with the most popular rated course on the Gmat Club, I got myself enrolled with e-GMAT. Being an engineer and good at math, Quant came naturally to me. Verbal was my weakest area and I needed serious help in it. On knowing that the Verbal Online package didn’t include any mocks, I opted to go for the GMAT Online package, which included Quant and Verbal course, 5 SigmaX mocks and a hoard of other questions for practise on its Scholaranium platform. Looking back it was the best decision I had taken in my prep.

After accessing the course for 2 weeks, I got a phone call from Dhananjay (DJ), who would be my future mentor, asking whether I would be interested in a Mentorship program. I was told that this program would make me a part of a cohort of 15 applicants like me who were also in their preparation phase, that I’d be given daily milestones to meet and that at the end of the week the mentor would have a strategic huddle with the cohort so as to discuss the short comings of the week gone by. I could not find any reason to say no and I immediately hopped on board. What followed was an extremely well planned and guided course of action. As promised we were given our milestones and had weekly huddles in which DJ would boost our Morales, discussing the success stories of various students who had achieved their target scores using the same platform. The mentorship program made me feel accountable for my performance and made me realize the mistakes I had made during my first attempt. The e-GMAT mocks are a good representative of the actual GMAT and the Scholaranium questions also comprise of a good mix. In short, once I had the access to the e-GMAT platform, I never felt the need for more. I would highly recommend anyone, who is especially facing any issue with the Verbal section, to get enrolled in the mentorship program and be truthful to it.

To be honest for any program to work, we ourselves play a very critical role. Unless we are extremely critical of and truthful with ourselves, no study material can help us reach the target score. Likewise, e-GMAT also mentions so in a very clear way. For e.g. the mentorship program would not have worked if I wasn’t honest to DJ about meeting my milestones or if I didn’t tell him the actual issues I was facing, I wouldn’t get the advice I expected. It is a two way street. Here, I’d like to appreciate the role DJ has played with all my sincerity. He was always there when I scored badly on my mocks to lift my morale, to help me with any specific issue and at the same time he showed me the mirror when I was going wrong and when it was time to pull up my socks. I ended up getting a 750 on my third attempt. Not only my verbal score improved from a V32 to a V41, but my Quant score also improved from a Q48 to a Q50. Although, I did not use the e-GMAT Quant course but I sure did practise the sums on its Scholaranium platform, which helped me a lot.

On a parting note I’d like to mention two takeaways one from each of the founders of e-GMAT.
Once while attending a webinar Rajat mentioned there are two types of students who access the same material, one achieves his target score while the other one fails to achieve it. He asks us the reason why? Both the students had access to the same material, so ideally both of them should have succeeded. So what was that differentiating factor?
On similar lines, at the beginning of the e-GMAT course, Payal, in one of her videos about the various stages of learning, talks about the importance of being self-critical. She puts forth a very interesting strategy that helped me particularly during my prep. It was asking the question WHY? If you get a SC question right, figure out why did you get it right? Similarly, if you get a SC question wrong, figure out the reason? What made you select the wrong choice and eliminate the right one? I think this level of self-criticality is expected out of every one of us taking a dig at GMAT.

Lastly, I’d like to say always look at the big picture. Do not lose sight of it. GMAT is not the end of the world.
