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

I have been preparing for GMAT Through egmat online course and I found it be very lacking regards to the content. Also I feel their questions in the Scholaranium to be harder than usual and not a representative of actual gmat. Overall, I found it very hard to finish their course and I felt that their layout of content to be a bit lacking. My verbal score did not increase even a bit after spending few months (except for SC) with E-gmat Verbal. I feel they do a lot of marketing for their course to gain people but wish they would put more effort towards the course. Their exam is not at all close to the real one atleast not even close to veritas or mgamt. Their quant course is awful. Pllease consider befor taking this gmat course.

I was refreed to egmat by a friend. At first i was apprehensive of taking an online course, so i tried the trial version of the course. I liked the trial version and so i went for Egmat Verbal course. I would say Egmat Verbal course helped me in clearing my basics well. Specially i would recommend the Sentence correction approach that Egmat teaches for anyone who has just started with GMAT or for anyone who wants to clear his or her basics. I stated with egmat while taking my first gmat attempt. Its Pre-thinking approach in Critical Reasoning gives the gmat warrior an approach how to go about the CR questions. This course has helped me in breaking the 700 mark.

Not a great value addition for me. the course material has all sorts of shortcuts and stuff but no clear valuation of concepts or analysis on why and where i am going wrong.would suggest these kind of online courses only for people who are confident on their verbal abilities and just want a set of practice questions.i would suggest people to go for personal tutors for gmat if they really want to improve their gmat test taking abilities.also never depend on shortcuts and always believe in learning the concepts and understand why the mistake is happening and logic behind every mistake and answer choice

I took the e-gmat verbal + quant course, including the GMATclub tests. The main purpose of taking up the course was that I was struggling with improving my verbal score. I was stuck at the V30s and my target was V-40s. The best part of the course was the SC- the classes were followed by short practice exercises, which I believe increases retention rate. The CR part was excellent in terms of understanding the different parts of an argument, the different kinds of questions that can be asked and mainly getting to know the traps involved in official GMAT questions. The RC course was good for learning the way to understand any given passage, and increasing retention while reading anything.
Quant could be helpful for people who have lost touch with the subject.
The mock tests from e-gmat and GMATclub, combined with other tests (Veritas, Manhattan) are probably enough when you have an understanding of the Official guide.
Overall, it was a pretty helpful course. It helped me in navigating through the traps and nuances during the real GMAT.

Though there are great reviews for the EGMAT course and seeing those reviews I took their complete course, verbal+Quant. In the verbal section, I just did their sentence correction which is ok for learning grammar rules but didn't help me in achieving any results in sentence correction. Their method of understanding the sentence is good but seeing the time constraints in GMAT, it was not very helpful in practice. If you plan to take their complete course Quant+Verbal, be ready to have 3 months of complete break, they are very long and monotonous, I only did their sentence correction and a few other parts. What really helped me is the GMAT Club, where I used to practice every day with the Question bank. Though my official GMAT score was less than expected, as I was scoring 720-740 in mocks but it got me admitted to my dream college. For this, I want to thank GMAT Club and it's awesome members. There are people at GMAT Club who have explained every concept very beautifully.

I used Egmat and Gmat Club test in 2017 to prepare for my Gmat test. At first, because of many positive reviews from other students, I decided to buy 2 accounts for me and my wife. We both apply for PhD program in Business School. We strongly believed in EGMAT methodology and study hard following the courses instruction. However, Egmat is only good for reviewing the SC concepts. The lecture is very long and tedious. Most of the concept in Emat is covered in Manhattan SC.
The practice question in Egmat is not as good as Official questions from GMAC. Many questions collected from GMAT club and other sources. Many SC question is modified from OG questions. Quatitative question explanation is too long, the solution method is not good for 2 minutes in GMAT.
If you want moderate course for the beginner, Egmat can be an ok one. But If you want higher score than 650, we need to study nearly all OG questions. Please do not believe the claim that you can get 700+ just if you Egmat materials alone. It is misleadingly advertised.

One of the most popular recommended courses
For the pricing the layout of the content feels very “cheap” and cumbersome to use e.g. cannot play videos at different speeds. On the contrary listening to the content at the normal speed does ensure you do not listen too fast and miss important details
Verbal provides a good foundation for content however much of the terminology used is abbreviated/categorised in their own form and comparing this with other providers terminology can lead to some confusion
EGMAT have their own question banks but style of questions is different to official source. The course is also prepared by non native English speakers and mistakes are noticeable in both the content and questions
Recommendations would be to use verbal for a basis for learning content as it goes into granular detail on the different grammar components. The proprietary question banks allow focus on weaker topic areas however given they are not representative of official questions, even moreso then other providers, I would advise tapering these off prior to practicing official questions ahead of the real exam

Verbal part of E-gmat is ok for building fundamental but provides answer in very detailed manner. However, I think that they just kind of mentions about some stuff and did not explain it thoroughly. I think for sentence correction Thursdays with Ron is much better resource to utilize.

E-gmat's verbal part is better than it's quant part. They will just teach you basics instead of why you are doing what you are doing.

Scholarium is the great resource to test and identify your weakness. However, visually they are very different from official verbal so it is kind of difficult to use. Beside that it is good.

My advice is that there is one great free resource called Thursdays with Ron and thursdays with Ron supplemented by MGMAT guides will be easily substitute e-gmat course. If you are in rush and need to get foundation quickly, e-gmat is way to go.

I started preparing for GMAT somewhere in Apr-17 by my own and given my first GMAT on 09-Sept-17. I had only referred only one book -Princeton GMAT Review apart from the diagnostic test from official guide. I scored a score of 560(Q49, V17) which I cancelled as my target score was 650+. I asked few of my colleagues for my improvement in the score. They suggested to take e-GMAT course. I enrolled on 14-Sept-17 for this course. I judiciously completed complete verbal course and solved all the recommended official questions. I partially solved their verbal scholoranium. I also went through their Quant courses partially. Meanwhile I had scheduled my exam date which was 04-Mar-18. I got a score of 580 (Q49, V19). Again I cancelled my score as it was not meeting my minimum score criteria of 650. I took six month extension of their course to complete the Quant as well as scholaranium. I fully competed the quant course, completed Quant and verbal scholaranium to a great extend and brushed up the verbal portion. I again appeared for the GMAT on 04-Aug-18 and ended up with 550 (Q50, V16).

Whether e-GMAT course was not effective for my preparation?

I started systematic with e-GMAT course as per their recommended schedule. I simply printed their recommended time table and pasted it on the wall. I simply colored the portion i completed. It took me around 4 months to complete the sentence structure and another two month for critical reasoning and reading comprehension. The course material was assisted with the live sessions by their instructors. The recommended official questions numbers were listed which I solved as per the guideline. The sentence correction course is quite dense, CR was moderate and RC was only explained with help of 2-3 examples. Though I brushed up the concept related to GMAT questions through this course and got a quite good understanding about the question types and pattern but I failed to improve my verbal score. In case of quant, though I improved only from Q49 to Q50, I was quite comfortable solving the quant questions in my 3rd attempt.

e-GMAT verbal teach concepts of verbal but it fails to provide the skills to make one fast. Even it makes one quite slow in their approach as there is no time to use the recommended methodological approach. e-GMAT quant approach is also methodological which might make one slow but a person of math background can get one's concept brushed up and can manage to have some improvement in score.

e-GMAT doesn't provide any exclusive instructor as they have various instructors for different topics who conducts live session. Live sessions adds only limited value to the preparation and is not as effective as advertised.

Looking forward for improvement in verbal through further preparations.
