I took E-GMAT GMAT-ONLINE course.I did not find the course at all useful.Only the SC part was helpful for me.Critical reasoning has been made difficult by EGMAT team.Negation technique as prescribed by EGMAT is unnecessary complicated.RC is not good

Quant section is totally waste.Lot of basics which are not required are there in quants section.

The worst part of Egmat team was that ,if you ask any question which you have doubt and if the same question is not there in their material,they will not help you with the question.Only answer you will get is:we do not support private tutoring.

Only useful section for me was SC.When i went through Manhatten SC guide i found improvement in SC.CR part could have been made much easier.However EGMAT team with their negation technique has made it worse.

E-GMAT is recommended only for SC.

E-Gmat Online course is an excellent course backed by a huge question bank in Quant Scholarinium. I have an Engineering background, and thus I have good Quant skills but then I realized to cross that Q-50, I needed to revise my basic concepts again and gain much needed speed.

This course helped me in just that, it has a well-structured course with well-explained concepts. Moreover, the approach taught is easy to understand. The course guides you to follow a structured way to solve questions and discourages you to use shortcuts. Each concept has an application quiz that teaches you how to follow that structured process, a practice quiz and OG question quiz. All these give you a good practice on how to apply learned concepts.

The course is one of the best online course and it really helps you to build on your concepts. The scholarinium has a huge question bank, which helps you to practice all those learned concepts.

e-gmat Quant Online is the solution for people like me who need a structured course to approach the GMAT Quantitative section. I have been fairly ok with maths all my life, but when I started working on the GMAt Quant section, I was rather lost.I did not know where to start from, how much to do on one particular topic before moving on to the next one. I used to bits of Geometry and then some Algebra and then some No. properties. Also, even on known topics I knew, I was always confused on how to go about approaching a question.
e-gmat Quant Online was just what I had been looking for. Clear structure, with topics , sub-topics; a complete package for Quant. Basic concepts are taught first, then basic problems, and then with each practice file the difficulty level keeps rising.
Also, a structured process is taught for solving questions and all questions are solved using the same structured process, so by the end of the course, the process becomes second nature. All in all, e-gmat online is the solution to GMAT Quant Section.

Background and Context:
-------------------------------

I am a working professional with 18+ years of experience and recently took the GMAT (scored an okay 680 V40 Q44). I took to studies after 15+ years of being in student mode and preparing for a standardized test. Adding to the challenge, I was employed in the US (in a senior, very tough, and travel intensive consulting job) with 2 energetic, attention seeking, young kids and a wife in an equally demanding (and travel heavy) job.



Flashback - Close Encounter of the Alien Kind (2000/2001):
------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the beginning of my career, I took the GMAT and scored somewhere in the mid-500s. My prep at the time was devoid of any professional training courses and sans any major research on GMAT strategies (to be honest, around 2001, the level of available information on the internet must've been less than 1% of its current state). I thus attribute my poor performance to not much strategy but just brute force. While I don't remember my sectional scores, I do remember I scored much worse in Verbal than Quant.



The Proverbial Itch (2017/2018):
----------------------------------------

Cut to Q2 2017. I decided to address my educational aspirations (1 year full time executive MBA). While I bought the OG and Princeton Review guides (and tests), I couldn't muster the courage to begin my prep for a good 9-10 months (courtesy my 1st traumatic GMAT experience). Determined to overcome the inertia, in March 2018, I started my prep focused on cramming textbook material (much like the 1st attempt).



Finding GMAT's Kryptonite (April 2018):
------------------------------------------------

In a month or so, I started stumbling across other helpful tools like GMATClub, BeatTheGMAT, other digital resources, as well as online prep courses. These resources (and real-life examples / experiences) quickly underlined the need for a radical revamp of prep approach. I consequently, started looking for a relevant Verbal prep program which could accommodate my rusted learning approach.

After intensive research and evaluation, I locked in on eGMAT's Online Verbal and Quant Course and signed up on May 1, 2018. Key features of the offering that resonated with me were as follows:

1. Self-paced and flexible format
2. Focused on building a strong foundation instead of relying on shortcuts
3. Rooted in classroom type textbook theory that I was comfortable with
4. Offering ample opportunities to test competence and understanding along the learning process (including a rich topic-wise database (called Scholaranium) of questions to practice in a timed fashion).
5. Analytics and metrics to identify weak and strong areas and adjust study plan accordingly
6. Easy to use platform and appealing user interface
7. Economically priced
8. Last (but definitely not the least), rave reviews and experiences of ex-users of the course



The Grind (May - September 2018):
--------------------------------------------

During my 4-5 month prep phase (laden with multiple breaks due to travel and other commitments), I made sure to complete the Verbal Section e2e (I completed 30% of the Quant Online Course). Given the breadth of topics, it was often easy to forget what I'd studied (especially considering breaks), so I resorted to taking detailed notes while studying and ensured that I revise them periodically (later I'd do this every time I'd sit down to take a quiz or mock test). Post completion, based on my weaknesses (highlighted by eGMAT analytics), I revisited certain sections of the course in entirety (in addition to attempting respective questions from Scholaranium). This approach showed clear improvement in understanding and competence.

One surprising feature of the course (and clearly one that was a lifesaver) were the regular supply of student experiences (of the course, how it aided their study approach and their final scores) via video links. I can bet my top dollar that irrespective of one's learning style, s/he will find some or the other experience that they can relate to. These experiences were my guiding light in my darkest nights and helped me bulldoze my way through self-doubts regarding my study approach as well as my abilities.



The Moment of Truth (Oct 6, 2018):
--------------------------------------------

I cruised through the Verbal section on test day. The exciting thing here is that I felt most comfortable with the topics I was the weakest at. Guess that is the beauty of the course where it helps you identify such areas and get comfortable with them (provided you put in the effort). Despite my comfort with the Verbal section, I was pleasantly surprised to get a V40. This feeling was albeit countered by my Quant score. This said, I don't think of it much given that I exceeded my 1st break by 5 minutes and lost time additional time (and composure) to scratch pen issues during the Quant section and still managed a Q44.



The Verdict:
---------------

Without a doubt, I attribute my verbal performance to eGMAT. Guess, selecting them for my prep was one of the landmark decisions I took when it came to cracking the test. To quantify this, I already recommended them to a friend in India (his test is in a few weeks, and hopefully he will have a similar pleasant experience).

Thanks Rajat, Payal and the entire eGMAT team. You guys rock! \m/

Picking up the e-GMAT verbal online program was definitely a boon, as it gave me the necessary perspective to be able to tackle the Verbal section in the official GMAT. The program gave me valuable insights in tackling the SC, CR and RC sections which were critical to my success. I have listed below how the program helped me in tackling each of the sections within the GMAT and I hope this information proves helpful.

Sentence Correction: The comprehensiveness of the grammar rules covered and the number of practice questions one is expected to participate in definitely played a big part in my success. Additionally simple advice such as understand the meaning, although intuitive, played a big role in helping me crack the GMAT.

Reading Comprehension: I had earlier engaged in other GMAT prep material which were focused on techniques such as skimming through passages, reading only the first line of each paragraph and drawing inferences which although were quick weren't as effective. Again the simple advice of just take your time and comprehend the meaning of the passage really helped tip the scale.

Critical Reasoning: I was confident in this section from the very beginning and my earlier GMAT prep material too was focused towards Assumptions in an argument. Nevertheless the number of practice questions the program offered along with it's explanations was a big help during my prep period.

The strength of the e-GMAT verbal program is that it offers a program with no gimmicks. It is focused on simple straight forward advice which if implemented correctly would reap benefits. I'm glad i picked up this program and i hope this review helps you with your decision as well.

I subscribed for e-GMAT Verbal Online course after browsing over several course reviews and de-briefs. One thing is for sure - "Verbal for Non-natives" is absolutely pertinent to design philosophy of e-GMAT. Though a person might get overwhelmed with too much audio/visual material, the time dedicated is totally worth it. I had accuracy of ~60% in Sentence Correct and the same has now been improved to ~90%. The "Pre-Concept" and "Post-Concept" quiz of the course helps you to check your understanding of concept before concept files and after concept files respectively.
The Pre-thinking concept taught in CR section is a silver bullet. The strategy is that you brainstorm and come up with potential answer choice before jumping to answer choices and hence, avoid spend time re-reading the stimulus.
I strongly recommend this course to non-natives and natives who are weak in comprehending the printed text.

Hi all,

Iam a non-native speaker and I see Gmat is a dread examination that I have ever had. After a short term that I was confident to study by myself, I failed the exam and then I was so confused Who I am. One day, I found E-gmat course on gmat club and then I recognize that It is a key factor so as to help me understand exactly the significant skills needed in the exam.

In SC, I can recognize each mistake swiftly. In CR, pre-thinking is a key that helps me to tackle argument and understand the core. RC is considered as the most difficult test and e-gmat course has a unique method to deal with.

All in all, I also have Verbal Scholaranium to practice before the primary exam and I hope I can achieve the best score.

I recommend this course to everybody who pursue a best score at gmat test.

Thanks e-gmat course!

I gave the GMAT about a year back and was devasted looking at my score. I scored poorly on Quant. I realized during the process what I need is a more structure oriented process on my Quant. Although the questions of GMAT can be done due to the limitation of time and not following a step by step approach to solving each problem I faltered at the main exam ending up guessing more than 6-7 questions on my GMAT exam. On my next attempt I took up the EGMAT quant online course also and I saw a drastic improvement on my speed to solve problems following the 3 step approach to solve any given problem.
Through the course and the data analytics used on each chapter, I identified what my weakness was.To improve on the speed I used to use Scholaranium which was a great help in providing useful insights on which none numericals did I spent more time on . Also how can one use minimize the number of steps for problems which of a 650 level and up .The practice quizzes helped me solidify my foundations on each chapter. I didn't even realize when I reached from a level of Q35 to Q43 within a month . I wouldn't say Q43 is a kickass score but it made me reach quite close to the magical Q51 now. Thank you egmat for the support provided throughout the journey and I hope others will also get motivated reading this

First of all, I consider myself lucky to be writing this review. Never thought of doing this one day. Special thanks to e-gmat team!!

It is easier to help a student who is already on V30+ and looking for a better score in verbal. Actual challenge is to show the way to someone who started from V20s. By the way, that was me. I started my GMAT journey in 2015 with my first official score of 540 (Q41 V23). I was devastated but more than that I was perplexed. I gave some 120+ hours on my studies, solved all the OG questions with decent accuracy and was confident too. However, the GMAT was not at all happy with my performance.

Thereby, I started searching for a course which can give me answers to my questions. Needless to say, I tried a lot of options earlier, but it was e-gmat course which caught me eye.

E-gmat tremendous course content, experts support and root cause fixing approach helped me get comfortable in verbal for the first time during my entire GMAT journey.

I would recommend e-gmat verbal to someone who really wants to work on the root theme of GMAT verbal pattern and not just clearing the exam. It would not just help you score better in GMAT but also make you understand business english better.

I made a whooping improvement of 130 points with my recent score of 670 (Q49, V33).

Thanks e-gmat team for being such a great influencer in my GMAT journey and helping students all over the globe to reach their target score.

PS: I was also a student of e-gmat Quant online course and improved my score from Q41 to Q49.

Good Luck and Best Wishes!!
Regards,
Sumit Bramhe
