Strengths:

The platform offers a massive volume of practice material. They have a huge collection of questions, an abundance of sectional tests, seamless integration of Official Guide (OG) questions, and 5 full-length model tests. If you are strictly looking for a large repository to practice with, they deliver on quantity.

Would make the product better:

The course needs more time-effective solutions and streamlined approaches. The heavily branded "structured" strategies are too time-consuming to execute under real exam pressure. Additionally, the "Last Mile Push" program felt overhyped and did not provide the targeted, practical pacing help I actually needed for test day.

I started my GMAT preparation with a baseline practice score of 545 and eventually worked my way up to a peak practice score of 695 on e-GMAT's platform. The platform definitely has its strong suits: it provides an exhaustive question bank, plenty of sectional tests, and 5 solid model tests that give you more than enough material to practice with.

However, my actual test day experience was a major disappointment. I found the course material itself to be incredibly time-consuming, and the solutions they teach are not time-effective for the actual exam. While they heavily brand their approaches as structured, I found them clunky and unrealistic to apply under strict time limits. The "Last Mile Push" program also felt overhyped and didn't bridge that gap for me.

On the actual test day, the combination of e-GMAT's time-heavy strategies and standard exam center stress completely derailed my pacing. I was forced to guess randomly on a large number of questions just to finish the sections. This time mismanagement resulted in a final score that dropped below my baseline, ultimately causing me to miss my Deferred MBA application deadline. It is a good platform for accessing practice questions, but I highly caution against relying solely on their pacing and execution strategies.

Strengths:

Content

Would make the product better:

Interface, pace of the lessons and teaching methodology

The course was not very well designed or comprehensive. The UI also did not feel intuitive and some concepts did not feel relevant either. A lot of time was also dedicated to basic stuff repeatedly like how to create error logs and study which felt counterproductive and annoying after a point. For quant as well, the practice and the depth of questions were slightly off the mark and the content was repetitive and tiring. On the plus side, the course did cover all the major topics but needs improvement, customizations and a better UI to ensure that the content is engaging. The AI tool which gives suggestions needs some tweaking too.

Hi
I have taken e-gmat course for my Verbal prep. And I have few points to share:
1. SC part is really good. Meaning based approach really worked for me.
2. CR part is very confusing and I would not like to recommend. It's very time consuming I believe.
3. RC is also fine but it depends on ones capabilities in verbal. I really liked the cementing section. But I feel if you are not good at Verbal then whether you have taken their RC course or not, it does not matter at all.

I did not get time to use their quant section much. But it is very lengthy. If someone is planning to take GMAT in a month or so then you would not be able to cover all the topics but if you are just starting with the prep of GMAT and this might work for you.

I went through all the videos for Verbal section at-least twice.
Sentence Correction:
I feel that most of the videos teach super basic stuff. After studying such basics, I attempted my GMAT and was very surprised to see most of what i learnt from eGMAT was very convoluted, hard to apply with timing. My verbal scores after preparation were very very bad and are lesser than my scores on first diagnostic test.
If you are a non-native speaker like me, I would suggest you go through Manhattan books and solve as many official practise test questions as possible

Critical Reasoning:
CR was pretty good. The pre-thinking process taught in the course helped me answer questions much faster.

I started my GMAT journey in 2018. I did self-study for three weeks and went for the test just before Christmas in 2018. Scored 630 (Q44, V32). Disappointed, but with a full-time finance job that required me to work over 65 hours per week, I decided to divert my attention back to work. I have paused my MBA plan until early this year. I started self-prep again in mid-Jan. I tried out GMAT official mocks after studying for a month and scored 700 in both attempts. Not convinced by my mock scores, especially my inconsistent performance in the verbal section, I decided to sign up for a course specialized in verbal. The reviews on gmatclub for e-GMAT gave me a lot of confidence. Therefore, I decided to sign up for the full course, not only for verbal.

*Verbal Section*
SC: great for building fundamentals, but the course is very lengthy. The meaning-based approach, unfortunately, does not always work in the actual test. I would strongly advise against relying solely on e-GMAT to prepare for verbal. The sentence structures of some of the SC questions created by them are also quite bizarre. It is easy to see that the non-native speakers wrote those sentences.
CR: Sorry to be blunt, but the lectures created by them are quite useless. Using their approach, I guarantee most would not be able to solve the questions within 2.5 minutes. Their explanations are way too long. For those official questions, I could understand the official explanations better than their lengthy solutions.
RC: Ancient materials. Not worth the time.

*Quant*
Overall: only for building fundamentals. If you are below Q40, you can use that to learn the concepts then utilize their quizzes to identify weak areas. Once you hit Q45 or above in mock, DO NOT rely solely on e-GMAT anymore. I realized a big mistake I made was not checking out other test prep companies' courses. I have almost completed all e-GMAT quant quizzes before my official tests. When I signed up for a trial of another test prep company lately, I found out many of the concepts were not taught on e-GMAT. I was only able to encounter those concepts in one or two of those e-GMAT quizzes.

Quant Scholaranium: A great portal to identify weak areas. Really accurate because it correctly identified my weakest spot being number properties - my accuracy on number properties was only 50%; In contrast, the rest were all 85-100% in the M-H level questions in my official GMAT test. But their questions are unnecessarily long. When I did my official GMAT test recently, none of the items are THAT LONG. Even for word problems! The average time I spent on solving official quant questions are less than 1.5 minute, but e-GMAT questions could take up to 3 -4 minutes to solve! I voiced my frustration to my e-GMAT coach who followed up with my weekly progress. He asked me to give him some examples of questions that required longer than 2.5 minutes to solve. I could give him a whole list of 50+ questions honestly. But I gave him three examples. He said he would show me how to solve in 2 minutes - but guess what - he did not follow up on that! I m 100% sure no one can do that. I attempted the questions again a few times following their approach - I could even remember the approach by heart - and I still could not solve in 2 minutes. And the statistics of students who had solved these questions correctly also showed that they had to spend over 3 minutes! I am so upset by the time wasted on solving problems that do not represent the actual styles of GMAT questions.

In summary, I utterly regret wasting time on this course. I might have been able to progress faster by taking the courses of other test prep companies. As someone who started with 700 in official mock, I feel incredibly frustrated with the zero improvements after having spent MORE THAN four months on this. The zoom calls with the coach were pointless, too - all I get is some simple advice that I can give it to myself, like reading the economists/ keeping track of time at regular intervals. I m not someone starting at 500ish. And I had been doing those things even before signing on E-GMAT.

What stunned me the most is I scored 710, and 740 in the official mocks before my official test but ended up with 640 (in test center) then 660 (online GMAT).

I never slacked off on any day despite my demanding job- I kept error logs, reviewed mistakes kept on practicing, and followed their advice.

With such an unfortunate result after four months of dedicated work, I could only pin down to the following problems with e-GMAT:
1) not all essential quant concepts are covered in their "concept files"/ "practice files"/ "application files"
2) CR techniques completely not applicable in actual tests
3) SC meaningful approach does not always work
4) Lectures are only useful for those starting with 500-650 in official mocks. Cannot help breakthrough 700 barrier, unless someone is already proficient in quant (scoring Q50-51) and only need to polish verbal a bit.

I m sure e-GMAT might work for some, but if you are short on time, e-GMAT is not the course for you to boost the score from 600 sth to 700 or above in 1-3 months. And DO NOT rely on it to learn all concepts. Take its SC/ CR approach with a grain of salt. I have learned from pain.

I never really want to write such a review - but I find it necessary to tell my story. These four months were incredibly crucial to me, and the time wasted could have significant repercussions on my MBA applications.

The only thing good about e-gmat course is its verbal sentence correction rest all is overly hyped. One of the major drawbacks of the course is the quality of the questions especially in critical reasoning and even in RC. If you ask a question you get a response within 24 hours that's good but you cannot even search through previous questions/comments the interface is terrible. The interface is flash player based and very very awkward to work with it may seem that this is a petty point but it does matter when you want to revise a section. The topics are not searchable the table of contents is not good. The quant questions are quite tough, probably more than actual GMAT. For each and every question e-gmat has long explanations and that may seem a good thing about it it becomes a nuisance when you are just looking for one small thing that got you wrong, and you have to read a 2 page explanation. Again I would say the course is just OK and nothing special about it. It is overly hyped and overly marketed. I bought my subscription for about 6 months but did not even use it for more than a few weeks.

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.

EGMAT’s quant section is not for GMAT. There topic is way off-board. The language of the questions was rubbish …. Total was of time. Save your money for TTP, Math revolution or Crack verbal.
For Verbal they have a decent Sentence Correction course. You will actually gain something here. But again I would say go for Manahattan books and Ron videos.
Critical reasoning section: I think CR section is also decent. But the whole experience is too slow.
RC section: Good luck if you actually save time with the above gibberish.
In summary, they have great marketing people. But the course is too slow and quant is way off target.

I honestly did not get what the hype is about for their verbal. I studied all parts of it for 2.5 months and went through videos multiple times but except for being quite good in SC, RC and CR were nowhere up to what I had expected. RC contains really general advice and teaches nothing different from what everyone generally knows and the videos are of a very old platform. SC I felt their approach was extremely time-consuming and made it quite tedious and same with CR. My score stayed the same at V34 Despite studying for 6 hours a day for almost 2.5 months. I would honestly only recommend it for some improvement in SC but otherwise not at all. I would not take it if I had to do it all over again.
