Having attempted the GMAT twice, at a significant gap of 2 years, I was not too sure if I am willing to attempt it again. My first attempt dates back to January 2013 (Scored 470) and the second attempt to September 2014 (Scored 500), you would begin to think that I was writing the exam in utter disinterest and without any preparations. Now, let me not bring up the dead from the buried, instead highlight to you what really changed my mind and made me to work towards this goal again. The reasons of my utterly dismal performance so far will be highlighted steadily in the review below.
eGMAT, similar to a lot of you, was introduced to me by GMAT Club I was just not sure if it is just another course which I would be throwing my money at. This is because in my previous attempts I kept myself to Manhattan prep, Kaplan and the OG. While OG painted a different picture for me, the other two preparation materials were just categorically different. I was confused, till the last day of preparation about what to follow. And, went into the exam to come out slapped and beaten by the GMAT. This was the time when I understood the nature and importance of the official material of GMAT. eGMAT was truly the game changer that I was sincerely looking for. A go-to material, a one stop shop for all your requirements.
My 2 cents on the course - eGMAT is designed to extremely interactive. The Quant Online is not a course meant to be just get done with. It is designed in a way to make sure that you remember the concepts for times to come. I have been able to complete the course and during my practice sessions, keeping a score stable in the range of 49-51. It is absolutely essential to keep timing of your practice sessions as well, because on the D-Day, such will be the conditions.
All this being said, the flagship feature of their course is undoubtedly the Scholaranium. Scholaranium will help you gauge precisely the areas of strengths and weaknesses and that too at a granular level. Because of this, you will know precisely where to focus your efforts on in the days leading up to the test.
e-GMAT is always trying to improve their content with concepts which can help students better prepare. Indeed, they released a whole host of new features just as I was completing my preparation. If I would have had access to these features before, I would have been able to prepare even better. I think that has to be my only grouse with e-GMAT.
Wish you good luck for the journey.
Six months ago I was looking for a GMAT online course for the Verbal section. I had the opportunity to test some of the online courses proposed by the main providers. I did not find any big difference among these courses until I tested the online course proposed by e-GMAT.
Since I contacted them, I noticed the difference. e-GMAT really help me advising how I could improve my score within each section. They took the time to analyze my results on my last mocks and proposed me a one-week free trial to test the complete online course. I had such a good experience that week that I decided to take the Quant and Verbal online course for the next six months. It was a very good decision. The online course is very well structured with a lot of detailed explanations and videos and has a big database (with more than 1800 exercises!) to practice both quant and verbal section. I have made a big jump especially on the Quant section. I realize that I have a much better understanding of each section of the exam. Moreover, I have learned a lot of tips to gain time on solving problems.
I feel quite confident today in getting a high score. I will take the exam in two weeks and have already improved my score on the mocks from 600s to 720s +.
e-GMAT online has been a worthwhile investment. I strongly recommend it. You will improve your understanding of each section and will have the opportunity to practice as many exercises as you can within the Scholarium (e-GMAT Database). If you have a chance just try the free trial and you will notice the difference.
Thank you e-GMAT for all your help, availability and support!
All the best,
Roberto
I started preparing for Gmat in the month of june. I enrolled for the E gmat verbal online course . I found the course to be very systematic. I started using the sentence correction. As I am a non- native speaker i found the course to be teaching you from the basics. Also, E- gmat sends you a study plan you can customize it and plan your schedule accordingly. After completing 50% of the course I gave a mock in gmat prep i scored V20. This made me panic i reached out to the E-gmat team, they were very quick in their response and gave me a personilized plan to start afresh. I had very less time post that before my exam I improved from a V20 to V26. A special mention to the E-gmat doubt forum they are very quick and apt to respond to your query. The course also comes with master comprehension and integrated reasoning . Both are really useful . The quality of the course is excellent.
I joined the verbal live prep and i got a hazzle free upgrade. Thanks to the e- gmat team for helping me out in the Gmat journey.
I've been using the e-gmat Verbal Online course for the past three months, and hands down I think their SC and CR course along with the scholaranium are the most effective package available for non-native English speakers.
Just some stats that I hope will help some of the members here figure out if this is the right course for them -
I'm a two-time GMAT test taker (650, 660 with similar Q and V scores) and my problem was that I couldn't figure out a strategy to approach Verbal that would give me consistency in my scores. While I was decently good in RC, SC and CR often gave me trouble. Sometimes I'd be able to attempt 700+ level questions and other days not even a sub-600 level. Suffice to say, I lacked conceptual understanding and didn't have any approach to solving diff types of questions.
I'm more or less done with e-gmat SC and CR course, and the improvement is obvious. I'm consistently hitting >80% mark in SC and ~75% in CR, and this is when there are a few SC topics that I still need to cover.
Where the course helped me cement some of my dilly-dally concepts, scholaranium has helped me with a) time management (totally different ball game when attempting questions in adaptive setting) and b) build an approach to attempting each type of question.
I have a test scheduled for 9th of Jan and I'm hoping to bump my score by another 10% and reach an 80-90% accuracy in all 3 sections of verbal. Fingers crossed and best of luck to all those who're busy slogging during this festive time.

I started my journey one year ago. My background in engineering allowed me to set an excellent pace to achieve a high score in the quant part, in which I finished with Q51. Nevertheless, I had a lot of difficulties with the verbal section, and my score for the first time was well below my quant score. I managed to achieve a V27 for the first time I took the gmat. After reading many of the reviews in gmat club, it seemed to me that e-gmat was an excellent course for non-native speakers and I decided to proceed with the subscription of Verbal Live Prep. In the first few weeks, I started by the SC part. The detailed explanations and videos about each of the main issues in SC/RC/CR made my score to improve quickly. Another great tool is the Scholaranium. It was determinant to spot my weaknesses very quickly and provided me a detailed study plan to address each of the points I need to correct. Scholaranium has this fantastic tool to measure ability (time management) and accuracy ( correctness) of your performance. It allowed gauging the level of performance that I needed to improve my score. As a result, my score increased by 7 points, and I ended up with 710 (Q51, V34), a competitive score. I think e-gmat is the best course for non-native speakers. I recommended it to other friends as well, and their feedbacks were terrific too. Indeed, your score will bust with E-gmat.
E-GMAT is the best course I have encountered. Verbal online course is better than the traditional in class delivery.
The sentence correction is best explained in this course. I was very week in the SC when I initially attempted GMAT. With the help of course I improved from 25 points to 35 points for now.
The strategy thought in master sentence structure course breaking down the complicated sentence into clause is very helpful to answer the verbal questions.
Pre thinking in critical reasoning is also very helpful. This eliminates so much confusion that might occur if we directly dwelve into the answer choice.
Reading comprehension is also well understood with the help of breaking down the sentence into clause and reading it by keeping subject and verb in mind. This helps to easily understand the point in complicated passages.
I was very fortunate to find Target Test Prep for help on the Quant part of the exam. The design and structure of the course is excellent - the curriculum is succinct and teaches you what you need to know and how you need to know it. The inclusion of examples to solidify your understanding of concepts is also very very helpful. The site is also very customizable so you can easily focus on areas of weakness - I found the ability to create customized quizzes to test only certain concepts helped during final preparation to shore up my understanding. Would recommend this to anybody preparing for the GMAT.
Could not ask anything better than e-GMAT for Verbal. The video lessons are detailed, thorough with expert explanations and practice problems.
The good thing I like about this course is that, it provides basics to advanced concepts, provides sample problems and provides details on which Q number to solve from OG.
Being an Indian male with IT background, I have the pressure to crack GMAT, with the 3 step concept in SC, pre thinking in CR and RC modules e-GMAT has been no brainer choie for non native english speaker like me.
I would recommend anyone to go with this course for a good GMAT score.
When I started my GMAT prep this year, I scored an abysmal 570 on the diagnostic review. After spending 2-3 months going through the chapters on TTP and a few tutoring sessions with Scott, I felt relatively ready for the exam.
I scored a 600 and was devastated to say the least. I needed to send my applications with a higher score, so I decided to try once more and jumped right back into TTP. I realized I understand the basic concepts but I did not spend enough time hammering the tough questions that really improve your score.
This time I stuck to the study plan Scott and Jeff outlined. I completed EVERY single medium and hard tests and did not quit until I hit the targets they recommended.
Four weeks of intense study later I sat for the exam again and scored a 680!! My biggest advice is to 1) Use TTP to improve your Quant score and 2) Don't review the material half-heartedly thinking it will click come exam time. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!
Before I took the e-GMAT's verbal course I heard about how good it is but wasn't sure to put in more money for the prep material as I had already purchased Magoosh's prep course. After my first attempt I scored a mere 600/800 and was really disappointed. That's when I decided to purchase e-GMAT's verbal online course. It's truly the best verbal course out there. It justifies all the reviews placed here on the website that it's the best. I score 33 on verbal after my preparation from a 25, an 8 points improvement. I can't thank you e-gmat enough for helping me out. Their sentence correction techniques are really the best. It doesn't require you to learn, it requires you to understand the basics and a sentence correction question then looks like as if you're solving a basic math question. Yes, it makes it that easy. Their CR and RC courses are equally good. Although I had problems with understanding the arguments sometimes even after the course completion but my accuracy rate was improved a lot! I strongly recommend their verbal course.
