I stumbled upon eGMAT while looking for some strategies from previous test takers to boost your GMAT score. I was overwhelmed by the amazing things eGMAT students had to say about the course and how it helped them structure their GMAT preparation. This really resonated with me since I was struggling with keeping a clear track of my preparation. I decided to attend an eGMAT webinar on pre-thinking for CR and that's when I knew that I was going to enroll into their course.

At first, I bought the Verbal online package and absolutely loved the focus on the basics. It's funny how much you can forget what you've learned in school and that became quite evident when I started the verbal course. What I found to be particularly useful was the blend of concept and strategy that eGMAT offered. I feel that very few, if any, GMAT prep companies offer this and thanks to eGMAT's pedagogy these strategies become second nature.

eGMAT's program definitely requires patience and though there were times I didn't understand why things were explained in such a detailed manner, it was essential to internalize the concepts and strategies.

Lastly, I feel that the eGMAT Quant prep is highly underrated. I never felt challenged by GMAT Quant but never managed to get to a Q50. It was only after going through Quant part of eGMAT that I managed to hit Q50 (despite the online whiteboard) so I definitely recommend not skipping the Quant section unless you are a math genius.

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 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.

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.

Being an Indian candidate, I found the quants section relatively easier but the verbal section was really tough. Even during my prep, I found that non-native English speakers rely on their intuition which is the first thing e-gmat verbal course broke. It gave me a set of rules that came handy for all sections. Although it started with very basic concepts at first, which I skimmed through, once it got to the complicated concepts the rules were really helpful. I saw a score improvement from a V30 in diagnostics to a V37 in first attempt to a V40 in second attempt in real exam.

I would like to highlight the 3 important sections of the whole course.

1. Roadmap: e-gmat allows students to create a course roadmap as per their tentative GMAT exam date highlighting the number of hours to be invested in each section as per their target scores.  Thus, at the very start, I was able to visualize and plan the kind of preparation I wanted.

2. Course material: Verbal: One word, Awesome! This course was precise and interlinked in terms of the topics. Within SC, the gradual progression of topics ensured that by the end of SC each portion was well understood.  I was able to identify the areas where I was going wrong and improve on them through practice in Scholaranium.  Similarly, the methodology of understanding small portions (2-3 sentences) in each para, creating a summary of each para and then consolidating the summary to create a passage summary was the step-by-step approach that I needed to learn RC.Quant: The quant course covered right from the basics of primes and divisibility tests to the advanced topics of probability and PnC in a detailed manner. For revision, I found the pace of videos tad slow but for freshers, the pace might be appropriate.
3. Guidance: Most importantly, the e-gmat team is extremely supportive and helpful in clarifying your doubts.  I was able to receive a lot of personal guidance from them whenever I needed, right from the course correction to the post-admit program selection.  I'm thankful to Rajat and Sharang for giving their time and for helping me in my journey.

e-GMAT is an excellent resource for improving your verbal score. Their approach to CR and SC is not something that I have seen in other courses.
However, the course itself is VERY extensive, and it is difficult to complete it, especially for working professionals.
The interface itself appears primitive and the videos are a bit monotonous, might put you to sleep. But if you can overcome that, the course is worth its weight in gold. It is one of the most comprehensive GMAT courses out there. Although, the course did not have a good app for remote learning.
It is a great course for fresh out of college GMAT aspirants. Just the extent of the course makes it difficult to complete.
