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.

Course e-GMAT Mentorship

Instructor Dhananjay(DJ)

Location Online

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.

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

Location Online

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.

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

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.

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Location Online

I prepped for GMAT while working in an incredibly busy start-up. Here is what I liked about the eGMAT Course.

Critical Reasoning

Throughout the course, eGMAT gives subcategories for each category of questions. For example, a question can be profiled as - CR → Assumption Based → A context-dependent truth being assumed as a generic fact.

This helps you profile a question while you are reading it and make a mental note of what type of reasoning it probably is testing. This was incredibly helpful in CR.

Their Pre-Thinking method is also a great tool for CR Questions.

Reading Comprehension

eGMAT teaches you common structures of RC passages. This makes interpreting and skimming RC passages easier.

Sentence Correction

Meaning based approach - eGMAT stresses on this a lot in their SC course, and it's a good model to have while solving SC questions.

Quant

eGMAT has a great question bank in Quant 2.0 and Scholaranium 2.0 for Number systems and inequalities, which are heavily tested topics on GMAT.

Scholaranium 2.0 also gives you insights on which question types take you a long time to answer (which is worse than getting them wrong in GMAT)


One-on-one Support

Best thing about the eGMAT course is the one-one-one support in the LMT program. This was especially important for me since I was working with extreme time constraints. I worked with Atreya Roy. Atreya created personalised study plans to structure my prep, defined milestones, and gave me some important reality checks.

Expert Team
I would recommend trying to get as much 1-on-1 interactions with the expert team. It can give you pointed advice that will help your score jump by 20 points just like that. I had hit a wall with SC. My conversation with Shraddha from the expert team was crucial for me.


Strengths -

eGMAT is an expert on the GMAT. They know all the nuances and prudent things about the GMAT. This reflects in all their courses (except SC)
eGMAT Course is great for topics that you are really weak at.
1-on-1 interactions are very helpful.
Subcategories of questions created by eGMAT are incredibly helpful.

Weakness -

Course is extremely long and slow. I recommend only doing the parts that you are weak at, or you will waste a lot of prep time.
SC Question Bank doesn’t emulate GMAT accurately. I would recommend doing OG questions for SC preparation (also available in Scholaranium 2.0). There is just a different flavor to OG questions that no one can quite capture. Also eGMAT’s prescribed process helped me get better at SC during practise, but is simply too long and idealistic for the actual test.

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

TLDR: Used their quant program to improve my score to above a 700! Would recommend! I first decided to self study for the GMAT with the purchased official guide book and free materials online. I got a 700 and was happy with my score, but had 3 more weeks in between jobs to try to improve my score. With only about 7 days on e-GMAT, I learned enough quant skills to get from a 700 to 720. If I would have spent 14 days, my score could have been even higher. The lessons are so thorough and you learn SO MUCH about approaches to tackling quant. I didn't focus on verbal because I did well on verbal and my score was very much lacking in quant. If you are trying to get this done in a time crunch, reach out to the team at e-GMAT. Dedicate as much time as you can. They don't cram the information, they ensure you are internalizing concepts and approaches, so you cannot cram it all in a few hours. Would definitely recommend- thank you e-GMAT!

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

Location Online

During my year-long on-again, off-again relationship with the GMAT, Target Test Prep was a constant for my Quant studies, and was ultimately the tool that helped me go from Q38 to Q46 (620 to 720 total).

TTP is a well-structured resource with all of the GMAT topics organized in a clear and sensible manner. The format eliminates the guesswork and makes it easy to track progress and revisit topics, which is especially useful when life gets busy and GMAT studying gets temporarily pushed to the back-burner.

The seemingly endless number of practice problems of varying difficulty levels made it easy to properly account for content I already knew well or needed to study more. The instant feedback after completing chapter quizzes made studying engaging, and helped me get into a groove when persevering through long study sessions.

The Analytics feature, with performance analysis by topic and customizable quizzes, allowed me to optimize my study time, making review and practice sessions extremely straightforward and valuable.

Finally, I experienced amazing customer service and support from Scott and the rest of TTP team. They genuinely root for their users and are always there to help!

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

I began my GMAT preparation in April 2021. At first, I did not plan to purchase any GMAT course but after around a month of preparation I felt a shortage of good questions and thus I began my research for a good GMAT course. I looked through all the options and took up as many free trials as I could. In the end, I found the E-GMAT course most appealing of all the courses as it was cost-efficient and provided a dedicated tool to practice the concepts(Scholaranium). Also, as I had already used the E-Gmat free trial, I was convinced that the E-GMAT course material is good enough.

I only enrolled for the verbal section as verbal was my biggest weakness and I believed that I do not require any assistance with quant.

The E-GMAT Verbal course description:
The course is extremely detailed and covers all the aspects of GMAT Verbal. The course consists of Master Comprehension, SC, CR, and RC modules, and each of the modules is divided into three stages. E-GMAT according to your performance in Sigma-X mocks provides a personalized study plan. The course offers a ton of questions in the form of concept quizzes and application files as well so that you can practice the concept you just learned. These application files allow you to solve each question on your own and then provide a detailed explanation for the same. Additionally, E-GMAT teaches a simple yet efficient way to tackle each of SC, CR, and RC and this novel way definitely worked for me.

What I liked the Most:
The E-GMAT support team is the best feature of E-GMAT. Whenever I had a doubt on any question in Scholaranium, I posted on their forum and I got an answer in less than 18 hours. Apart from this, the support team helps with almost every query you may have regarding the GMAT. This personalized my preparation to an extent that I can't begin to describe. The support team deserves a huge shoutout for the work they do. All of them including Atreya, Shweta, Dhananjay aka DJ, and many more helped me tremendously in my preparation.

For instance, I fared badly in my first GMAT attempt, scoring just 700 and I immediately contacted E-GMAT as I was confused about whether to give another attempt or not. In response, I received a complete questionnaire in order to find out what went wrong from Atreya, and soon after I was contacted by DJ. He consulted me regarding my score and provided insights as to whether my current score can get me an admit to my dream schools. This meeting was very helpful as it helped me decide to have another go at the GMAT. For my second attempt DJ provided a revision plan as well as various invaluable tips to improve my score.

Overall the GMAT verbal course is great because of some key features such as Scholaranium, the support team, and the data insights that Scholaranium provides. Although there is just one drawback that you cannot access the Sigma-x mocks if you have enrolled for just E-GMAT verbal or E-GMAT Quant. Sigma-x mocks are accessible only to those who have enrolled in the E-GMAT Quant + Verbal course.

Course e-GMAT Verbal Online

I started preparing for the GMAT with a diagnostic test and knew it straightaway that the verbal section will be a decider for me. I took the e-GMAT coursework to help myself with the verbal section and i could see changes in my thought process to eliminate two or three close choices. The meaning based approach for SC questions did in fact come a long way in tackling difficult questions in which grammar played little or no role. For CR questions pre-thinking approach helps one create a situation in which one has an edge with the structure of the argument, even when one is not able to exactly figure out the assumption or pre-think the exact answer choice. For RC, I practiced a lot to overcome the fear of non-familiarity with the topic.

I was struggling with the Verbal section since my first attempt. I scored a 650(34V/46Q) in Nov'19 and scored a 650 again in Jan'21. I ended up cancelling my score this time, with no hope left in me. I read about TTP on Reddit and I thought of taking GMAT again, one last time. Started my journey with TTP on 16th May.Scored a 740(42V/49Q) on GMAT on 27th Septmenber. 4 months are enough for you to utilize TTP as long as you have brushed up your Quant. Even though TTP didnt offer RC during my prep, I was able to improve my score by 8 points in Verbal solely by practicing SC and CR modules. Bother Verbal and Quant modules are detailed and clarify each concept with examples ans quizes. I did not use any other prep material this time, only TTP and GMATclub for practicing OG questions. When it comes to GMAT preparation, TTP is a 10/10 .
