The course was very comprehensive. Really helped me improve my fundamentals. The well curated video lectures coupled with powerful analytics of Scholaranium, helped me improve my verbal score. The video lectures were easy to understand as well as detailed. With Scholaranium, I could improve my SC the most,followed by CR and RC.The score in cementing & custom quizzes actually was true reflector of actual score. The Quant was a little harder than actual Quant but was good enough for practice. Also the Quant 2.0 as recently launched by Egmat looks promising
The strategy team also helped by offering timely study schedule and mapping progress timely. The support the team provided was commendable
Highly recommend this course for GMAT verbal prep irrespective if anyone is starting or is retaking the exam

I cannot thank the E-GMAT team enough for the amount of improvement I made on the Verbal section of GMAT between my 2 attempts.
For my first attempt, I went ahead with a reputed live online coaching program in India. Although, my quant prep was decent, I was struggling badly in verbal. SC, which is by far the easiest section on GMAT verbal, was pulling my score down badly. A month before my first GMAT attempt, I came across e-GMAT's verbal course and took a free sigma mock to gauge my preparation and scored a V26. On the subsequent official test 1 attempt (2 days later), I scored a V33. I thought that the sigma mock was not an actual representation of GMAT verbal section. I trusted my preparation, studied for a month and went ahead with the actual exam, only to receive a reality check (Actual score – 630 – Q49, V27). I realized that the verbal section is the one which is going to make or break my score. I got in touch with Sandeep from e-GMAT and immediately took up its subscription.
The SC, CR and RC modules of e-GMAT course are so designed that their focus lies entirely on mastering a structured process. Trust me, this is the only way to consistently perform and succeed on the GMAT. If you learn to follow a structured approach for any question, nothing will stop you on the D-Day.
The online practice platform – Scholaranium is the best that one can ask for. It helped me identify the gaps in my preparation and I could track my progress on it with ease.
The e-GMAT support staff is great too. They are readily available to handle you doubts over a mail and their response time is less than 24 hours. They also paused my subscription when I needed that owing to work commitments.
All in all, e-GMAT verbal online course is your best bet if you are looking for a great verbal score or are struggling with your verbal preparation.

Hey people I'm Sushanth.
I always thought that breaking the 700 score barrier on the GMAT wasn't something that I would be able to, but thankfully I was wrong.
As you people will notice in the details that I have mentioned as a part of this review, I had already given the GMAT once before taking up E-GMAT's Verbal Online course. I scored a 640 on my first attempt, way below what I had initially expected. The break-up was Q-48 and V-30 IR-2.
Post this, I wrote an e-mail to the E-GMAT team and decided to try their Verbal online course. A point that I was able to infer, was with respect to my performance in the critical reasoning and reading comp sections. I had performed pretty badly and hence decided to hone my verbal skills for the second attempt. I scored 710 on the second attempt,
the breakup mentioned here:- Q-50 V-36 IR-5.
Now coming to the actual crux of the matter, the E-GMAT Verbal Online Course is actually pretty good. In fact, after reading lots of negative reviews online I decided not to go for it, but post the first attempt I figured I didn't have anything to lose. The course ended up being very detailed, interactive, and well designed. It has lots of inputs and details that are really useful. I didn't really use it for SC, as I was decent with that, but instead used it to work on CR and RC. The scholaranium is a nice place to test out your comprehension of the concepts. It is customizable and has really nice questions of varying difficulty. The cementing quizzes are pretty cool too.
All of the separate SC, CR, and RC sections have concept and application files, which are really well-designed. There are pre-quizzes and post-quizzes that help you assess your comprehension of the intended concept as well.
Also, FYI I wrote the Online GMAT on my second attempt. (The Online GMAT is really nice, i.e. you don't have to go out and write the test in an environment you're not accustomed to.)
P.S.- Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the GMAT, E-GMAT's Verbal Online Course,etc.

The course is very carefully designed taking into consideration the exact type of questions that get asked in the exam.
1. Sentence Correction - The course presented only the topics / concepts that are relevant from the exam point of view. This helped save a lot of time. Although, I followed a slightly different approach while attempting the questions, the concepts were very well explained.
2. Critical Reasoning - I tried following the pre-thinking concept. Although, I was not successful in pre-thinking at all the times, yet it helped me get to the right answer a lot of times. The concepts helped me develop a thought process that is needed to attempt the questions correctly.
3. Reading Comprehension - I just practiced RC questions from the Scholaranium. Did not see all the video lectures.
4. Scholaranium - This is a true TREASURE. The number of questions are more than sufficient to ace the exams. I re-attempted a lot of questions. The best part was that I had the flexibility to choose the number of questions and the time that I want to allocate. I
5. Forum - Was really helpful in addressing a lot of my doubts that were not addressed through the solutions. Kudos to the entire support team for addressing all the doubts so patiently and quickly !
In all, the course provided a very structured way of studying. Was really happy with the course till the very end.
Very helpful for verbal section, especially the SC content. EGMAT's mock tests are also very close to main GMAT, even on the scoring front.
I used EGMAT's verbal online resource for SC preparation and it helped me achieve good accuracy.
Prethinking also helped in CR.
Would recommend EGMAT for anyone looking to take their verbal score to 40+
Have also heard good things about their Quant resource but I personally didn't use it.
One of the good features was revising concepts using concept specific questions, by skipping the concepts.
The analytics provided is also helpful to understand where you are going wrong
After reading all kinds of books and online material, I thought that I had exhausted every great material available out there. At that point my highest score in verbal was V29. However, when I took Egmat verbal, I realized that there were a number of concepts in verbal, I was weak at.
e-GMAT's course truly helped me to bridge those conceptual gaps. There are numerous reason as to go with Egmat Verbal course: First and foremost, Egmat teaches you the right way to attempt all kinds of questions. It does not rely on petty tricks, but on solid concepts. Secondly, scholaranium, e-GMAT's flagship product, helps to truly cement your concepts to the core. Thirdly and most importantly, e-GMAT's support is unparalleled. This was e-GMAT's team suggestion that changed my test taking game entirely. Had I not improved verbal, I would have never achieved 730 in GMAT. Many thanks to Egmat.
After giving multiple attempts of GMAT and seeing no significant improvement in score, I turned to e-gmat's Verbal Online course as I was performing comparatively poorly in Verbal (V37/Q48). I reached out to e-gmat staff members for help navigating through the vast course material and in turn received prompt support from Dhananjay (DJ). DJ scheduled zoom sessions and walked me through ESR's of my last few attempts, identifying a pattern in the way I have been answering verbal questions and why I failed in my previous attempts. DJ drafted a week's worth of plan of attack which helped me identify my weaknesses via diagnostic tests. This intervention was very helpful as I assumed I was plateauing in GMAT because of multiple unknown issues.

I had done enough research to realize that for a non-native English speaker, e-GMAT was the best choice, so went ahead with the same. Fair to say, I was not disappointed.
SC: This is e-GMAT 's USP IMO. The depth and width of concepts that they cover is amazing, and I got clarity in the SC concepts. But on the higher difficulty level questions, this would have eliminated only 3 options. This is where the meaning based approach helped me. Always gauge the sentence by the meaning / logic it wants to convey, and then look for the grammatical errors in the sentence. This will reap dividends.
CR: I definitely benefitted from e-GMAT 's 3 stage approach. Identifying premises and attacking the conclusion keeping premises in mind by pre-thinking helped a lot.
RC: Full marks to e-GMAT in simplifying RC concepts. IMO, RC is just about practice. The answers are already with you in form of the passage. You have to be focused to be attentive, and be present throughout the passage. e-GMAT has good practice passages on RC
I found e-GMAT 's Scholaranium tool to be really valuable as well. It covers a good mix of easy to difficult questions, and allows you to test your skills accordingly. It helped me track my performance as well and gave me confidence that I was progressing in the right direction.
Special callout for Nava from e-GMAT when I reached out to them seeking help post my two failures in 2020. The level of detailed ESR analysis and recommendations provided by him was commendable.
I took the e-GMAT Verbal Online after my first GMAT attempt (Got a 680 with Q49 V33)
Pros:
The SC course is definitely hands-down one of the best courses in the market currently. It's extremely beneficial for people with conceptual gaps. I increased my accuracy in SC from ~60% to ~80% with the help of this course.
I personally feel the RC is pretty good too. I was struggling with RC and none of the 'shortcuts' or 'techniques' I found online helped me with this. The e-GMAT's RC module with its 'predicting the flow of the passage' and 'involving yourself in the passage' really made sense and helped me a lot!
Cons:
The number of questions for practice is very low. Considering other good courses such as Expert's Global (comparing solely based on the number of questions/ quizzes), the number of questions and quizzes for practice in e-GMAT scholaranium is very low.
I gave my GMAT again and now have a 720 with Q50 V37 (might give it another shot). The increase in the verbal score is majorly because of my increase in accuracy in SC. BIG TIME!
Cheers! All the best!
Before I signed up for E-GMAT, I was missing around 7 SC questions per practice test, but this was really odd to me because I have always considered myself good at grammar. So, obviously, I was missing something, but I didn't know what. I read on some online GMAT forums that e-GMAT SC program did wonders for their score, so I decided to try it. I approach the program as if I didn't know anything about grammar - I got rid of all preconceptions I had, whether they were correct or incorrect, and just learned the concepts with a fresh mind. In a month, before I had even finished the program, I was only missing around 3-4 SC per practice test. E-GMAT did wonders for my SC studying, and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with SC. But, you must follow the lesson plans diligently. There is a method to their madness!
