I tried E-Gmat Verbal for few months(signed up in July 2019) and I found it be very lacking regards to the content. Also I feel their questions in the Scholaranium to be harder than usual. 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 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. I also got a lot of their promotional emails which can get quite annoying and had to unsubscribe eventually. Their money back guarantee is also bogus I feel.

After spending sometime learning via books such as Manhattan Prep, my score didn't increase in verbal. I didn't understand why that is the case although I learned all the grammatical rules.
I had doubt about enrolling at first as I didn't want to waste time given that the applications are coming close.
I took the leap and it worked! I learned that meaning is very important that grammatical rules (sentences that are grammatically correct can be wrong as the meaning doesn't make sense).
I didn't have enough time to study reading comprehension and critical reasoning as my exam date was in 1-2 weeks.
Prior to egmat, I was somewhat guessing between the remaining 2-3 choices in a question in sentence correction. By end of the course (and with good effort from my side), I aced the GMAT's SC part (I applied for detailed report from GMAT website to view this).
I wish that egmat can grant longer durations instead of the 6 months (but the duration is good enough if you work (at a company) for less that 55 hours a week. In my case, the project delivery was coming to an end, and I had to find time to study.
I already recommended my best friends for egmat's online courses. It would be great if they have a referral program!
Thank you egmat and the team,
Definitely worth it
My experience with e-gmat verbal was good. It was very comprehensive.
The videos were really interactive and the practice just after the concept explanation was helpful.
It focused on understanding the meaning rather than look for what was wrong immediately. The process of steps to check what is wrong for sentence correction, was very useful.
It helped for other sections too.
The solution explanations for OG questions was really good and strengthened my understanding.
The scholaranium provided extensive practice and helped in identifying my weak areas so that I could focus on those better.
Overall, it provided good practice and improved my understanding.
Overall, the course is structured in a very well defined manner and it is suitable for a beginner who is just starting to prepare for GMAT. My favourite part is that it teaches you in a very structure manner with examples and quizzes in between which help in applying the concepts learnt.
With job, it becomes really difficult to focus and read GMAT books, so the EGMAT course with its concise and structured helped me understand every concept in a detailed way. I also retook the course again just to revise and to make sure I don't forget the concepts. Making short notes of the subject may also help specially for students who are looking for verbal improvement.

I have been using this course for about 3 months now.
Started with RC, then CR then SC. Will start off with RC.
e GMAT's RC: It redefines the way you look at RCs, ranging from How to Read & Comprehend faster to Pre-Thinking the next line. e GMAT divided this portion on the basis of question type namely Main Point, Inference, Detail etc. and provides the correct way to approach each problem.
e GMAT's CR: This part will fine tune your pre existing concepts of Premise, Conclusion, Counter Premise etc. Every type of problem will be solved basis e GMAT's approach. Best parts were Assumption & Bold Faced.
e GMAT's SC: One word - Modifiers ! Want to solve every question on Modifiers, then Go to e GMAT's Verbal.
Parallelism & Comparison parts of course can be improved a little.
At last I recommend e GMAT's Verbal Course definitely to those who already at some level & want to improve their score further !
Fingers crossed for my next GMAT...
I signed up for the verbal eGmat program to focus on sentence correction, which is where I really struggled in my practice tests. eGmat has a great feature where not only can you watch videos teaching you sentence correction technique, but you can create your own quizzes based on difficulty and verbal question type to practice over and over. You can sort on easy, medium, or hard and number of questions. For each question missed, it shows you a video or explanation about how to go through the process of figuring out the correct answer, not just giving you the correct answer. I found this really helpful because instead of meaningless practice, it helped establish correct procedure a develop a plan to attack the questions on the real test. The timer and suggested times really help you learn to pace yourself.

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 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.
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,
