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 purchased the e-GMAT GMAT online course with which i got complimentary access to GMAT Club tests. The biggest advantage of GMAT Club tests is that you have access to plethora of questions for your practice (more than 1500 question) in both Quant and Verbal.
The flexibility of attempting these questions in the form of CATs/ quizzes was another brilliant feature which enables you to first improve your understanding on a particular topic and then track your progress.
You can also create custom quizzes based on your strength ad weaknesses and analyze where you are going wrong. The analytics is another great feature which will help you understand where are you making most of your mistakes/ spending more or less time.
I would suggest everyone to first test your current level by taking a CAT and then work on the weaker areas. After which you can attempt one CAT per week to measure your progress and further refine your strategies. E-gmat Online course along with GMAT club tests helped me jump 100 points in my GMAT score and secure an admit from my targeted Business School.
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.

I purchased e-gmat course subscription and I would rate it very good. Their concepts files are amazingly well described and their questions on testing the concepts are well structured. They will give you two close options so that we can actually test out whether we have understood the concepts.
PS and DS: Being an engineer, i was good with Math, so I followed a unique approach. I did question banks/quant mocks from GMATClub tests and for topics, I didn't get the questions right, I would quickly go to the concept files and watch the videos.
SC : I would rate this better than Manhattan SC books and other books. The concepts such as Modifiers are very detailed and descriptive. The scholaranium questions are also very good.
CR: I would again say it is worth the time to go over the files and understand actually the different types of questions, specially the examples.
RC: Okay, so even though the content might be good, I feel they could make it a little better and closer to the actual GMAT exam. Even while performing well in their scholaranium, I couldn't score well in mocks and eventually the exam. I followed all their rules to the book, but some concepts weren't that clear.
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.
The program was satisfactory when it came to practice material and content available. However, I found the webinars and emails very repetitive in nature. I found myself mostly wasting time on webinars as I was not learning anything new. The quant sections were fabulous with regard to the step-by-step explanations, which was great to build concept, however the application is the more crucial element in a GMAT exam. I found myself completely lost when it came to applying the same concept that I knew by heart, for most high level questions. I wish eGmat gave more personal attention to students. GMAT club tests were not very accurate either. I was never able to get a close approximation to my actual abilities. I started off with a decent quant score but the feedback given was not adequate to really understand my actual ability in the section.

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
Thank you e-gmat for such an amazing & insightful product. It was very helpful. e-GMAT helped me change my view towards verbal.
The kind of process that is followed is comprehensive. The SC course is amazing! The concepts were explained methodically and from the basics.
Short Quizzes for assessing the weaknesses and conceptual gaps was one key aspect that helped me throughout my preparation.
The ability quizzes are great in terms of their measurement of section- based readiness. Take them routinely, especially if you haven't touched a topic for a while. Unfortunately for me, they introduced the Official Guide Scholaranium just as I took my attempts.
I took the e-gmat verbal + quant course, including the GMATclub tests. The main purpose of taking up the course was that I was struggling with improving my verbal score. I was stuck at the V30s and my target was V-40s. The best part of the course was the SC- the classes were followed by short practice exercises, which I believe increases retention rate. The CR part was excellent in terms of understanding the different parts of an argument, the different kinds of questions that can be asked and mainly getting to know the traps involved in official GMAT questions. The RC course was good for learning the way to understand any given passage, and increasing retention while reading anything.
Quant could be helpful for people who have lost touch with the subject.
The mock tests from e-gmat and GMATclub, combined with other tests (Veritas, Manhattan) are probably enough when you have an understanding of the Official guide.
Overall, it was a pretty helpful course. It helped me in navigating through the traps and nuances during the real GMAT.
