After studying for GMAT, I realized that everything that I had learned at school was incomplete and I was really struggling to get better. I was repeating the same mistake every time since I was way behind in basics.
E-gmat provides great tools for understanding. Their material is in very simple and explanatory terms and is full of examles. I enjoy studying at e-gmat and it also provides great practice. I am retaking gmat for improving verbal score and am looking forward to e-gmat courses. the questions in scholarinium are great practice material and best of all they are well explained.

After being stuck at the same score using Magoosh, I decided to give e-gmat verbal a try.

The materials were very organized and the questions were challenging, yet, similar to Magoosh, it offers a good foundation to your verbal studies, but it doesn't offer any exam oriented materials.

After going through 80% of the questions and the course, I did not improve much on my verbal, I was a bit disappointed by it. I believe that e-gmat is just not a good platform for me.

Some of the videos looked a bit archaic and the website is not designed to induce high performance.

The E-gmat Quant Live Prep is excellent. It is structured. Core concepts are broken down into manageable chunks. Everything makes sense. Furthermore, the LIVE sessions of the course introduced me to the pace. E-gmat features something called 'rapid fire' which does not give you a chance to think. You either know it (in which case you'll answer the question based on core concepts straight away) or you won't i.e. think for too long or get confused. When others answer in the allotted time, you have it right there in front of you - you’re not competitive and it is time to strengthen those concepts. In my opinion, these advantages alone are well worth the investment in the course.

There are plethora of online courses for GMAT but I chose e-GMAT because it gave be a discipline to study and practice daily. More importantly, I was excited to learn so many new things via online videos. This was the first time I was going through an online course and it worked wonders for me in SC, CR and RC.

The Ability test and Custom Quiz on Scholorenium is awesome which brings out the unknown weak areas and guide you towards improving on those. Thanks to Payal for her outstanding presentations.
The other important thing is the approach to attach a problem and the step by step resolution of the problems.

I had heard about egmat from one of my friends and i subscribed for the same last year from october 2015 to October 2015. Initially i subscribed for Quant and verbal live but when i attended their 1st live class on CR, I opted for just the video sessions, not the LIVE ones. I did not find the LIVE class adding much value, but yes it indeed takes a lot from your pocket. The reason why i don't reccomend going for LIVE is that for the first 15-20 minutes, its just the egmat advertisement and for the next hour or so the instructor just read out whatever is written on the PDF. there are around 100 students (less or more) in that class, obviously the instructor cannot answer to their questions too. So what's the point? I mean just simply share the PDF, and i will go through it, joining class does not make any sense. talking about their quant, I will never ever reccomend it to anyone. buying quant subscription from egmat was the biggest mistake of my life. their quant starts with very basic, which is good but then there is a drastic jump to the level of question they present to you. That gap between the course content and the question, actually makes you feel like your quant level is 0 rather -ive. atleast in my case , i will say that it deteriorated my confidence a lot. "a lot" means A LOT!! so please don't go for egmat quant.

At first, I purchased only the SC course because I was very impressive with the trial content. I then upgraded to Verbal Online, mainly to get access to the Scholaranium, and finally upgraded to Verbal Live after not being able to get 700 after 2 tests. I used the course for my first 3 attempts, improving from 640 to 660 to 680. But I do not really attribute these improvements to this course. Here are my reviews for each component:

- SC: among the best courses about SC. If you cannot understand grammar “jargon” such as gerunds, preposition, adverb…, you will gain many benefits from SC course. The approach of eGMAT SC is meaning-based, which is very good for understanding why one choice is correct while others are incorrect. The negative side is that this approach is really time-consuming. I struggled to reduce the time per question to under 1m30s but not successfully, even after many practices. Finally, I combined this approach with the approach from other prep company and this worked, helping me so much in saving time for CR and RC.

- CR: nothing too special. The content is quite similar to what CR Bible has. You may find the content livelier than reading Bible book, but it did not work for me.

- RC: I did not learn much about RC. The content is a bit boring, and I kept using my own way which is to read The Economist and to take notes.

- Scholaranium: At first, I saw it very useful. There are a lot of analyses here, and they helped me understand where I need to improve. But the quality of questions is far away from official questions of GMAC. My scores in Scholaranium, especially in SC, were very good, but I could not did well in official questions and real exams. I think that the questions in Scholaranium were tailored to match to the contents in eGMAT’s course. My advice is to use its analytic tools to know the strengths and weaknesses, but to not work on these questions too much.

- Live workshops: They are somewhat useful to help learners understand the contents and clear confusions, but I think it is not worth paying much money to upgrade from Verbal Online to Verbal Live just in order to have these workshops.

EGmat provides good and economical verbal program.
Product covers verbal concepts required for GMAT.
Material is enough and adequate to just know the basics correct,though it can be a bit exhaustive.For non native speakers this product provides knowledge that can act as backbone for your sentence correction.
Concepts were explained like teaching kids at elementary level, so they are hard coded in your memory.
It has a nice ,user friendly interface accessible from all browsers.
The course videos are just too good. For the first time I was able to look at the question know what’s wrong and mark the answer straight away. This saved a lot of time. It basically showed me how to find the mistakes and how to correct them without even looking at the choices
Their 3 step process (Meaning analysis, Error Analysis, Options Analysis) I learned though the course makes SC seem more easier task to handle, and most importantly their approach gave me confidence to tackle SC.

EGMAT also provides you with forums where you can post your queries ,which are answered by experts.

Further suggestion for EGMAT would be to launch a advanced verbal course which can be used once user completes basic courses.

I have briefly used the course and I think it is valuable to teach you the tricks to study GMAT verbal content. I could see increase in the verbal section practice CAT scores. I used the course for CR and SC. The verbal scholaranium is very good.

The videos might seem boring though but use to your best advantage. The question bank is not too vast.

If you are using the course, please make sure you practice a lot till your real GMAT exam. Even if you know the tricks without practice you will use more time than what is recommended. I have to activate my subscription to study thoroughly till my exam.

Overall the verbal online course is well designed for non-natives. The SC part is the best and striking feature of the course. Course content is clear and well presented. It presents concepts that needs to be practised initially but gradually you save time when you apply the embed the thought process into your thinking. With regards to improvement, I will say there should be a summary of all concepts videos so you can go through them before the exam or before doing mocks. Apart from this, I found the course to be quite useful. I tried the Quant course, which found to be equally good and well presented.

I decided to enroll for e-GMAT because I wanted a course that provided me complete flexibility and allowed me to pace myself as per my liking. Additionally, the instructors were Indian, so I though I would get a better perspective on how to approach GMAT exam as an Indian candidate.

I found it to be a good course in that it had summarized the important concepts tested on GMAT in one place. It could certainly be a great course for someone who was starting with a poor verbal score. However, in my case I began when I was scoring 38-41 in GMAT Prep verbal section. In fact, I scored 38 in one of e-GMAT's own workshops, without much preparation. I diligently went through the entire course and also attended e-GMAT's final workshops where they try to teach you how to maximize your score. I wish I had not attended that workshop, because in an effort to act 'cute' and follow the 'clever' strategies they suggested, I screwed up my verbal section and scored only 35.

I decided to retake my GMAT and requested e-GMAT to extend my subscription. They asked for a proof of registration, which I found a bit weird because not always does a person plan the exact date. I certainly didn't want to lose that flexibility. Anyway, I decided to look at other options, and i'm glad I found MGMAT's forum, which I used to review various GMAT Prep official questions I had downloaded from GMATClub. Using those reviews, I was able to identify my mistakes and improve my sentence correction accuracy. I scored 41 in the verbal section of my second GMAT attempt.

So if someone is thorough with the basic concepts, I won't recommend this course. But if someone is looking to learn various sentence correction concepts, then it's a fantastic course. e-GMAT is a great company, but unfortunately I didn't have a very favorable experience with their course and their subscription extension policy.
