I took e-GAMT online course for a period of 2 months starting in June 2021 and gave my GMAT attempt in August/September 2021. I scored a Q49 V34 (700) on my first attempt and Q47 V40 (700) on my second attempt.
e-GMAT's online resources were extremely helpful for the GMAT preparation. The Verbal and Quant courses are detailed and cover all the important topics. And they inculcate the habit of attempting questions within restricted time from the beginning with all the course quizzes.
The question bank (Scholaranium) is quite diverse and has questions of all difficulty levels.
e-GMAT focuses on teaching you the right technique and preparing for the GMAT in a very efficient manner rather than asking you to keep solving questions and spend time on just practicing.
Even the Sigma-x mocks are the closest mocks one will see to the actual GMAT.

I absolutely loved E-GMAT verbal course. The course is designed to transition you from a instinct based subjective approach to a very methodical and almost scientific approach to the verbal section. The meaning based approach foe SC, the pre-thinking approach for CR and the master comprehension skills to enhance your reading ability, have helped me remove any confusion in eliminating the choices. The quant course was a little too slow for my pace. Its good for beginners but if you have very stringent timelines like I did, then you might have trouble understanding what to skip.
I found the scholaranium questions to be harder than actual GMAT test itself. But it definitely helps you assess your ability section wise and prepare you well for official GMAT questions.

Prior to starting TTP, I took a practice GMAT and scored a 32Q and an overall score of 610. I dedicated about 6 months of review through TTP and ended up with a 45Q and overall score of 700. In my practice attempts, I scored all the way up to a 49Q and 740.

I really enjoyed how thorough the course was and the wide variety of topics it covered. By constantly quizzing you throughout the chapters, and then provided benchmarks tests along the way, you had a good understanding of how well you were performing and recalling topics from earlier in the course.

Highly recommend if you are looking to focus on improving your quant score.

I began my GMAT studying in May 2020. After 2 test attempts, my highest score was a 640 and I felt like I had hit a plateau. In the past, I've always pushed through this kind of test roadblock, but this time was different. This time I needed help.

After some research, I chose Manhattan Prep and was paired with Chris Gentry. It's been incredible to work with someone as talented as Chris throughout my GMAT studying process. In addition to being really smart and skilled at the GMAT, Chris also has a great personality. But above all else, I've really appreciated Chris's flexibility and understanding. I always felt like Chris catered his lessons and plans to my strengths and tendencies, which allowed me to succeed in ways I could have never done myself.

After 4 months of prep, I was able to push through the plateau and score a 710. However, my time with Chris didn't end there. I also had plans to take the LSAT, and Chris again put me in the best position to succeed.

To master any standardized test is tough, even for the best test takers. But how hard is it to master two standardized tests, especially when they are applicable to separate fields? The obvious answer is really hard, but Chris was more than up to the task. With his help I walked into the 2021 October LSAT (just 4 months removed from my 710 GMAT) with more confidence than I could have ever imagined. While I won't know my LSAT score for a couple of weeks, I've seen success on a few practice test and feel confident that Chris has made the difference for me, again.

It should come then as no surprise that I heavily recommend having lessons with Chris, so that he can make the difference for you too!

My GMAT journey has been super long. I purchased my first set of GMAT resources in 2018 but struggled to prep with my job.

In March 2020, I purchased Egmat on the recommendation of a friend and I can guarantee that it was the best decision I made especially when it comes to Verbal!

The Verbal SC course is very well structured. The Meaning based approach though looks simple is very profound. I came across the other common approach - Splits approach - which many coaching institutes and courses teach. But I found EGMAT's approach much better. The RC and CR courses are very well structured too. The animations help register the concepts really well.

On the Quant side, one thing that I found extremely unique on EGMAT is the concept of "Process Skills." They have bucketed the processes we do while solving any Quant problem. This really helped me during my optimization phase.

Coming to Scholaranium - this I can say is THE most amazing part of the whole EGMAT platform. After a long journey trying many resources for practicing questions, I had to come one full circle back to EGMAT because of their amazing SCHOLARANIUM 2.0. It gave me clear insights about my weak areas and that helped me bump up my score

The support from EGMAT team is great. I reached out to DJ that I have my gmat in 10 days and he helped me with a clear specific plan of what to do. The plan was detailed to the level of what specific sections of the course I should be revisiting. I didn't have to think much and just execute. Overall it has been a phenomenal experience!!

PS: While I took GMAT online, I am not sure if that is the best option. I had a really bad experience because on my IR section there was a bug. The proctor had no clue and kept time running. And I lost 8-9 min out of 30 min. GMAT club has many other similar horror stories. So just take that into account. What I hear from few folks is that if you use a wired connection instead of wifi, the experience is better - but am not sure how does that cause/not cause a bug!

Background:-
I am someone who works on an average around 60 - 70 hours in a week.
I had attempted GMAT twice -once in 2019, when I got a score of 680 and -once again in Jan 2021, when my score actually decreased to 650. As with any engineer my strength was quants, but I struggled specifically in SC and CR parts of Verbal.
Major takeaways:-
1.Structured 3 stage Approach - This 3 stage approach - 1st Stage of learning the concept, 2nd of applying the learning and 3rd of mastering the concept - changed the way how I approached GMAT preparation. This seemed so very natural to follow.
2. Sentence Correction Course - This section to me was all about knowing grammar rules, many of which didn't make much sense to me. In GMAT SC is as much about applying logic as any of the other sections and that's the crux of how e-GMAT approaches SC. This helped me improve immensely.
3. Error Logs - The best thing about this entire course. You not only log the errors that you make, but also dissect the errors that you make. You exactly understand which parts of the 3-step approach are you failing to apply. For example, when I first started solving SC questions, even after taking the full course, I realized I wasn't intuitively pausing to understand the sentence, leading to increase in timing in solving the SC questions. I focused on improving that part and both my timing and my accuracy in SC questions improved greatly.
4. Critical Reasoning Course - e-GMAT equips you to pre-think varied scenarios on any question and that helped me to improve my accuracy in solving difficult CR questions greatly.
5. Quants - Although I didn't go through the Quants course due to the paucity of time at the end, I solved quite a few questions and the questions prepared me well for the real game.

I will take this opportunity to applaud the entire e-GMAT team for the wonderful course that they have designed. This course helped me improve my verbal ability greatly and I will surely take the learnings from the course much beyond GMAT.

At the end, I want to specifically thank my Mentor - Dhananjay Lowe, aka DJ. He kept pushing me to be consistent. And even after I was done with my exam, he went beyond to even tell me about various B-schools and how I should approach the next stage of B-school applications.

Egmat is great for Verbal. I improved from 31 to 41 in Verbal using the SC meaning based approach and the CR pre-thinking approach. The approach for Sentence Correction is the BEST I have seen in the market.
The course is a bit intensive, but once you have your basics clear, Scholarium and Sigma X mocks are a blessing. So, I would recommend this course if you have the patience to go through the material and basics and revisit those as needed.
GMAT Club + EGMAT is enough for preparation as sometimes the Egmat explanations are too complex, I would look at alternative ways in GMAT Club.

I enrolled for the eGMAT course after a lot of research on GMAT club. The course lived up to my expectations. I mainly struggled with verbal and eGMAT was the perfect course for me. Their modules are crafted according to the testing capabilities of the GMAT. The meaning-based approach and pre-thinking were game-changers for SC and CR, respectively. Scholaranium 2.0 is probably the best question bank out there. I gave my first e-SIGMA mock and got a 710. Checking my progress and my score, Dhananjay offered me a place in his mentorship program. The moment I got into the 1v1 mentorship program with DJ, I knew it would be a game-changer for me. A 15-minute call with him was an eye-opener for me. He analysed my mock in a way I could have never imagined. His eye for detail and the xPERT AI system of eGMAT helped me examine my weaknesses. He created a hyper-specific plan to help me improve my score. His custom quizzes allowed me to solve more challenging questions in less time compared to the official exam. I was particularly weak in RC, and he designed a specific plan to address my weakness. CR and SC error log helped me strengthen my concepts. His methodology helped me achieve outstanding scores in my official mock exams. Although my actual score does not indicate the effort we had put in, I believe Dhananjay prepared me well enough to get in the top 2 percentile.

I haven't taken a math course since high school (about 7 years ago), and I was very rusty on even basic quant topics, like geometry or algebra. I decided to sign up for Target Test Prep due to rave reviews on the web, as well as Fishbowl and from word of mouth from friends. Due to work, I was absolutely short on time and couldn't dedicate a specific time/day to study consistently for, and needed a flexible self-study tool instead of a formal class. In addition, the price point was far more affordable than taking a formal class, and I liked being able to cancel at any point. The actual program itself was fantastic in terms of not only content, but even UX. It was easy to understand, navigate, and honestly, I loved every little feature, even being able to speed up video speeds to match my pace. I would recommend really taking the time to go through the chapters and take the quizzes - admittedly, I was not able to finish the entire course by the time I had to take my test, but it helped me immensely in every section I was able to complete, landing me a final 750 score in total. Quant was always my weakness, and without TTP, I'm not sure I would've been able to get this amazing score.

E-GMAT was a excellent resource in my journey to 750 GMAT score. Few things that I specifically liked:
1. Methodological and step by step approach
2. Well designed course structure. Process of test, learn and practice was particularly helpful
3. Great content; learning videos might be tad bit long but getting a good verbal score do need that prep and e-gmat has done excellent job in getting the content solidified.

I'll recommend e-GMAT to anyone who has a plan to ace the GMAT, as it has the necessary resources irrespective of the level of the candidate appearing for the exam. It can help you fill conceptual gaps, have enough practice and gain test readiness all in one package.
