Being an Indian candidate, I found the quants section relatively easier but the verbal section was really tough. Even during my prep, I found that non-native English speakers rely on their intuition which is the first thing e-gmat verbal course broke. It gave me a set of rules that came handy for all sections. Although it started with very basic concepts at first, which I skimmed through, once it got to the complicated concepts the rules were really helpful. I saw a score improvement from a V30 in diagnostics to a V37 in first attempt to a V40 in second attempt in real exam.

I would like to highlight the 3 important sections of the whole course.

1. Roadmap: e-gmat allows students to create a course roadmap as per their tentative GMAT exam date highlighting the number of hours to be invested in each section as per their target scores.  Thus, at the very start, I was able to visualize and plan the kind of preparation I wanted.

2. Course material: Verbal: One word, Awesome! This course was precise and interlinked in terms of the topics. Within SC, the gradual progression of topics ensured that by the end of SC each portion was well understood.  I was able to identify the areas where I was going wrong and improve on them through practice in Scholaranium.  Similarly, the methodology of understanding small portions (2-3 sentences) in each para, creating a summary of each para and then consolidating the summary to create a passage summary was the step-by-step approach that I needed to learn RC.Quant: The quant course covered right from the basics of primes and divisibility tests to the advanced topics of probability and PnC in a detailed manner. For revision, I found the pace of videos tad slow but for freshers, the pace might be appropriate.
3. Guidance: Most importantly, the e-gmat team is extremely supportive and helpful in clarifying your doubts.  I was able to receive a lot of personal guidance from them whenever I needed, right from the course correction to the post-admit program selection.  I'm thankful to Rajat and Sharang for giving their time and for helping me in my journey.

e-GMAT is an excellent resource for improving your verbal score. Their approach to CR and SC is not something that I have seen in other courses.
However, the course itself is VERY extensive, and it is difficult to complete it, especially for working professionals.
The interface itself appears primitive and the videos are a bit monotonous, might put you to sleep. But if you can overcome that, the course is worth its weight in gold. It is one of the most comprehensive GMAT courses out there. Although, the course did not have a good app for remote learning.
It is a great course for fresh out of college GMAT aspirants. Just the extent of the course makes it difficult to complete.

Verbal course from e-GMAT is best in class. Especially the sentence correction course is very comprehensive and a must have if you want to score high in the GMAT verbal section. The explanations for Reading comprehension and Critical reasoning sections are also well done. Scholaranium is one tool which cannot be skipped. It provides better insights on your preparation by highlighting your weak areas. Kudos to Rajath and Payal for creating such a wonderful verbal course. When it comes to the quant course, its a good one maybe few more additional questions can be added. Overall the GMAT online course provided by E-GMAT is very comprehensive and can be the go to solution to crack the GMAT with very high score

I have purchased egmat verbal online course for which i got SC,CR,RC videos and verbal scholaranium GOLD with 500 question.
I heard that sentence correction is only worthy out of this entire course, even i felt the same even after going through the course.
Sentence correction is a bit helpful in knowing all the grammar rules but in reading comprehension i found the process a bit hectic and time taking which is not practically possible at the time of exam, also i didnt find any info which can be helpful in improving my accuracy in reading comprehension. in case of CR pre-thinking is one think that is helpful, i expected much more from this course but my application part is lacking where the course would have been helpful but it didn't.

I've purchased verbal course, hence my review is only related to verbal. Before joining this course, I had attempted GMAT prep mock and studied from manhattan books, gmatclub and daagh explanation. hence my verbal score was okay. However, after working for 2-3 months, I took another mock and my prep mock score went down by 5 points, I thought there must be some issue. I attempted different mock, my score was same.

Sentence correction looked okay at starting, but it's too lengthy and meaning based approach takes lot of time even though you practiced a lot.

I talked to my friend, he had similar experience. I've started using manhattan books, and gmat ninja's videos to graps basics again.

I wouldn't recommend this course. Looks like I wasted my precious 2-3 months. Because of this time waste, I have to postpone my GMAT date, hence I am reporting GMAT prep score. and I am writing this review since I've completed the course, so I eligible.

If like me, you are troubled by the idea of where to start and how to go about things, I would recommend taking a look at e-gmat and their personal planner. After going through a lot of free trials (you can browse gmatclub and you will find at least 6-7)

I opted for e-GMAT primarily for the following reasons.

1. The personal planner. I input my starting score, it asked my target score, how many hours I can spare and when I planned on taking the test and out came this timetable that was perfect for me, a 3-4 month calendar with a daily breakdown of modules
2. The course structure was systematic and aligned with the schedule; I no longer needed to think what to do; it was all planned and laid out.
3. The approach, test yourself without any concept, go through the concept with solved
examples, test your improvement, rinse, and repeat.
4. The cost. One of the more economical options with similar reviews as others

Quantitative: Simple yet elegant.

The e-GMAT modules are very intuitive and the structure of the course is perfect to get you up and running from scratch.

There are no short cuts here, at least in the beginning, but you can take solace in the fact that if you do walk the road, it leads to the same destination. The only thing you need to do for Quant is to go through the entire syllabus, focus on the fundamental concepts, and practice away to kingdom come.

My rhythm was to follow e-GMAT down to the letter, I crossed every t and dotted every i it did not matter if I was good at something already if the course needed me to do something I did it. Test before concept, learn the concept, practice on e-GMAT questions, practice on OG questions, next
topic, rinse, repeat.

After completing a module (say Number properties), I would go to Scholarium (don't try topronounce this, I gave up) and attempt the questions there, failed miserably in the beginning, but moved on to the next module. When I completed all the modules, I took a book and made my notes
for each chapter with all the essential formulae, information, and possible tricks/methods.

Verbal: Focus on the meaning and don't chase tricks

Initially, I was not comfortable with the e-GMAT SC but that was because I was not patient and was looking to rush ahead. I had to go back to e-GMAT, and I changed my approach. I was going to go through the concepts alone and not solve questions. I focused on the meaning now rather than trying to find a trick to solve the question.

Even though my CR and RC were strong I still completed all the modules in e-GMAT, and it took me a total of 30 days to complete Verbal. Like Quant, I made my notes. Although not as polished as Quant, these were lifesavers.

Verbal SC, forget the tricks initially, focus on understanding the meaning. Once you understand
the meaning, you can go back and now compartmentalize it into methods (maybe). Rely heavily on
gmatclub forums for the official questions, some amazing community answers that can help you
reinforce your concepts or even help you discover new ways of solving SC questions.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the course because it provides you with the tools to lay a very solid foundation. How high you build on top of-course depends on you.

E-GMAT worked beautifully for me. I had no test taking background, but it did not take me long to get really good at SC, CR and RC using the E-GMAT modules. In my experience, I did much better when I meticulously followed the course structure; If you have the time, don't cut corners, I saw that a negligence towards the RC section of the course instantly resulted on a poor performance on test day. My second attempt was a direct result of practicing E-GMAT RC and using scholaranium to perfect ability.
The ability quizzes are great in terms of their measurement of section- based readiness. Take them routinely, especially if you haven't touched a topic for a while. Unfortunately for me, they introduced the Official Guide Scholaranium just as I took my attempts. This also seems super interesting, purely because OG explanations can be really bad sometimes, and applying the E-GMAT framework to most question types makes for a more structured approach to the solution, had it been present when I first started out, I definitely would’ve made it my only directory.

As I was pretty used to feeling verbal questions out by ear, my basics were very muddy. This course really helped me strengthen my fundamentals and introduced methods of action that consistently provided better results. It also helped immensely with critical reasoning and reading comprehension with appropriate strategies. Due to their emphasis on reaching the correct answer as opposed to the fast answer, you are almost guaranteed to improve your accuracy. Although e-GMAT advocates learning questions thoroughly even if you learn only some questions, eGMAT does have a huge number of practice questions which you can practice on to improve your takt time. Having a repository of knowledge was also good for revision and referencing strategy. Although this is an honest review, for transparency's sake I'll have to let you know that e-GMAT has offered me an mba applications guide book in return for a review,

After doing lots of research, i opted for e-gmat because of online course structure that I can complete along with my work schedule. e-gmat structure helps in time management as it's very much handy and you can utilize your travel time or even the break time in office.
