I began my GMAT preparation in April 2021. At first, I did not plan to purchase any GMAT course but after around a month of preparation I felt a shortage of good questions and thus I began my research for a good GMAT course. I looked through all the options and took up as many free trials as I could. In the end, I found the E-GMAT course most appealing of all the courses as it was cost-efficient and provided a dedicated tool to practice the concepts(Scholaranium). Also, as I had already used the E-Gmat free trial, I was convinced that the E-GMAT course material is good enough.

I only enrolled for the verbal section as verbal was my biggest weakness and I believed that I do not require any assistance with quant.

The E-GMAT Verbal course description:
The course is extremely detailed and covers all the aspects of GMAT Verbal. The course consists of Master Comprehension, SC, CR, and RC modules, and each of the modules is divided into three stages. E-GMAT according to your performance in Sigma-X mocks provides a personalized study plan. The course offers a ton of questions in the form of concept quizzes and application files as well so that you can practice the concept you just learned. These application files allow you to solve each question on your own and then provide a detailed explanation for the same. Additionally, E-GMAT teaches a simple yet efficient way to tackle each of SC, CR, and RC and this novel way definitely worked for me.

What I liked the Most:
The E-GMAT support team is the best feature of E-GMAT. Whenever I had a doubt on any question in Scholaranium, I posted on their forum and I got an answer in less than 18 hours. Apart from this, the support team helps with almost every query you may have regarding the GMAT. This personalized my preparation to an extent that I can't begin to describe. The support team deserves a huge shoutout for the work they do. All of them including Atreya, Shweta, Dhananjay aka DJ, and many more helped me tremendously in my preparation.

For instance, I fared badly in my first GMAT attempt, scoring just 700 and I immediately contacted E-GMAT as I was confused about whether to give another attempt or not. In response, I received a complete questionnaire in order to find out what went wrong from Atreya, and soon after I was contacted by DJ. He consulted me regarding my score and provided insights as to whether my current score can get me an admit to my dream schools. This meeting was very helpful as it helped me decide to have another go at the GMAT. For my second attempt DJ provided a revision plan as well as various invaluable tips to improve my score.

Overall the GMAT verbal course is great because of some key features such as Scholaranium, the support team, and the data insights that Scholaranium provides. Although there is just one drawback that you cannot access the Sigma-x mocks if you have enrolled for just E-GMAT verbal or E-GMAT Quant. Sigma-x mocks are accessible only to those who have enrolled in the E-GMAT Quant + Verbal course.

I took the e-GMAT online course a little more than a month before my test. The prep material and practice tests helped me quite a bit in my preparations.
I would recommend anyone looking to take an online course to subscribe to the course early in their preparation.
e-GMAT also offers a mentorship program (not sure if that's the correct name). I worked with Dhananjay in the last 19 days of my prep and his feedback was quite helpful. Again this would have been more helpful if I had approached him earlier in my prep.
I like how the course emphasizes on improving ability and does not promote gimmicks. Their meaning approach for sentence correction takes time to implement as a habit, but it works overall. Though they could definitely improve upon their material in the verbal section. In my humble opinion their material is not up to the mark. Though I could say the same about other programs after trying their free tests.
Their "Scholaranium" question bank is of great value once you have exhausted the OG material and the Quant section is more closely aligned with the actual test than the OG.
Over all I was pleased with their program and also see that they continuously update and improve it.

Background
I didn't know what the GMAT was comprised of before Dec'20. I had appeared for CAT before but I had very low confidence on my Verbal ability. Working full-time, I was really concerned about the selection of a right platform that could help me achieve a good GMAT score and that would allow me to do so at a self-determined pace. A few of my friends, who have already excelled at GMAT recommended e-GMAT, and I started my journey in Dec'20 with the e-GMAT online intensive course.

Approach
e-GMAT course has been structured to identify the areas of improvement right from the beginning, so that a huge amount of time could be saved using the detailed analysis of each of the subtopics. Each of the subtopics of both Quant and Verbal is structured around a three-step learning process: (1) concept, (2) process, (3) GMAT skills. This method allows one to be certain of the readiness to move to the following step, and to calibrate the time dedicated to each subtopic in a very personalized way.

Platform
The Scholaranium is an excellent platform which is unique of any product out there. It provides as many metrics as one can imagine to identify the process flaws and knowledge gaps at a very detailed level to know exactly what to do to improve. It keeps track of the results for the different levels of questions. With Scholaranium, one can design custom quizzes and can even choose at the subtopic level! Especially, one can design a quiz comprising only of Medium and Hard-level questions on any topics within each sections of Verbal or Quants. The explanation of how questions should be solved correctly and in a timely manner is very detailed and allows one to identify what went wrong or to confirm a correct.

Sigma X Mocks
I found the Sigma X Mocks to be closest to the actual exam. The adaptive software makes the experience very similar to that of the GMAT. From my own personal experience, I can say these mock exams even have more difficult questions than the GMAT, which allows one to be confident that when preparing for this hard questions, one is for sure covering the difficulty that will be find in the exam. In my best Sigma X Mock I scored a 730 (Q49 V40) which translated into a 730 (Q49 V40) in the real exam.

My study mentor: Archit
Perhaps the most important thing that makes e-gmat different from the other platforms is the support that one receives from the mentors. My GMAT mentor, Archit, helped me formulate the study plan and helped me at each and every step, whether it was identifying the weak areas during the concept building exercises or it was analyzing the various GMAT mocks to identify the corrective actions.

Content was great for both Verbal and Quant. I was more interested in Quant because I didn't recall any of the concepts, and really needed a good coverage, and eGMAT definitely delivered, brining my Quant from baseline of 39 to 49.
The Verbal course was also really though rough in teaching concepts, and it made me realise that there were quite a few things that I was unaware of - especially in the Sentence Correction bit.
Also, they have a near-endless question bank which provides the required practice (Scholaranium).
I did at times feel lost because eGMAT strategy guidance is given purely through email, and that form of communication feels very impersonal and is problematic for me because I tend to get a lot more information if I'm talking with someone. However, it was not too much of a hassle, I was able to relate to and apply at least 50% of the given strategy advice, which helped me on my journey.

e-GMAT has been instrumental in my journey to 740 in my very first attempt. The course is very well structured and takes you through all the concepts necessary to score the 90th percentile in GMAT. Working diligently on the e-GMAT practice files and application files will ensure that you pick up all the required skills to ace GMAT, right at the time of learning the concepts. The cementing stages and strategic review further helps to fill any gaps left during your study. The course structure has been further aided by the use of analytics such as xPERT to give you targeted inputs to improve upon. Such targeted feedback has been extremely beneficial towards the end of my preparation to fill the gap between my score and the target score.

The Quant section of e-GMAT may be slightly on the harder side but nevertheless provides you the confidence and skills to solve even very hard questions on your actual GMAT.

e-GMAT also helped me through one on one mentorship by creating hyper-specific improvement plans, once I was test-ready. This helped me maximize my potential in the run-up to the GMAT and I'm extremely thankful to DJ for working with me on this. He gave me strategies and weekly targets that helped me immensely in the final leg of my preparation. Overall, I'm quite happy to have made the decision of choosing e-GMAT.

Pros:
1) Great discussion on every question i.e. you can learn from other student's points of view.
2) Good support on queries.
3) Detailed explanation of every concept.
4) Scolarinium is a great tool
5) Concept quizzes are helpful.

Things to improve:
1) RC section is easy as compare to that of the real exam.

3) No. of tests should increase.

I liked the company's approach to focus on the concepts building, though I scored less as compared to my expectation.
I feel every course is as good as the student who is taking it but e gmat provide a good platform to learn

I scored 740 in my first official GMAT attempt (V44, Q48). While there are many resources and people that helped me achieve my dream score, E-GMAT is definitely one of them.

I purchased the online 360 course from E-GMAT which included both verbal and quant resources. To start with, E-GMAT verbal is very good. I trusted the process oriented approach that E-GMAT teaches and promotes for all subsections - SC, RC, CR. The videos are very well structured. Going through each of the SC and CR concept files really helped me build a strong base to tackle the different types of questions. The focus that the SC course lays on meaning based approach really works wonders and becomes the go to weapon while tackling 700+ level questions. And the "Pre-thinking" approach for CR is also extremely beneficial. Although, I developed a modified approach (selective pre-thinking) for the CR questions, pre-thinking undoubtedly leads to high levels of accuracy. I can compare the E-GMAT verbal course to a gym - if you are regular and diligent, spend a good amount of time and most important, trust the process oriented approach, results will definitely follow.

The quant videos are not as good as verbal, but they are also good enough. Specially, the new Quant 2.0 course, which is much better than the previous one. It is quite exhaustive and helps you understand and solidify all the concepts. I used the E-GMAT quant course to brush up the concepts and then the GMAT club tests (which come complimentary with the course) to strengthen the topics and increase my speed.

I will surely recommend the E-GMAT course to everyone. Just one caution - if you are not studying full time and at the same time are looking for a course that's fast paced, then E-GMAT is probably not the right option. But if you have time (min 3 months) and are willing to put in the hours, then you should definitely go for E-GMAT.

Well, undoubtedly the best course for the Verbal section in GMAT. The concept videos are exceptionally good, give a very clear foundation regarding the concepts, and the concept quizzes in between the videos are very very helpful. Especially for Sentence Correction, e-GMAT is GOD. Before taking e-GMAT, I used to solve SC questions by intuitive guessing and by thinking which option sounds more suitable. I didn't had a thorough understanding of the grammar and SC rules. But then I took the e-GMAT course, and when I started to watch SC concept videos, I got the recipe to solve GMAT SC questions. First of all, I learned lots of grammar rules. Then I learned the technique and strategy to solve SC questions. And then, I never ever used intuitive guessing to solve SC questions, I just used e-GMAT's strategy and methods to solve, and boom, my score in SC soared.
Even for the RC section, I used to waste lots of time reading the passage and solving the questions and so, in every mock, I used to solve one RC question by just guessing. But after doing e-GMAT's RC course, I spent less time solving RC questions, and so, in the actual GMAT exam, I solved all questions in verbal without guessing anything. Completing all questions is important, just guessing some questions or not being able to complete all questions on time leaves a huge penalty on the score!!

I enrolled for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course solely to improve my verbal score. I reached out to e-GMAT experts who responded to all my emails but also put together a structure that helped me improve.

Though my overall GMAT score did not improve more than 30 points, I ended up with a score of 39 in the Verbal section - most of its credit goes to the e-GMAT verbal course.

I really liked the SC modules focusing on meaning-based methodological approach which really helps in 700+ level questions. All the concept and practice quizzes in between modules really helped me to fine-polish the specific concepts.

Overall, really good course for folks who wish to improve their Verbal score.

I already had a score of 740 and wanted to go above that mark. I knew that pacing through questions was my biggest weakness, and hence I chose e-GMAT to work on that.

I was impressed by the number of questions as well as the interface that was available. Question difficulty is up to mark for scoring high in GMAT. The interface allows you to attempt questions in sets and in a time that simulates the GMAT test-taking experience. This helped me a lot to control my anxiety during the actual exam. Apart from that, the explanations provided are sufficiently articulate to make you understand any concept clearly.

I found e-GMAT really helpful when it comes to practice and would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with the exam.
