Strengths:
It is very comprehensive and covers each concept in great detail. AI helps extract most out of the questions.
I initially started preparing for GMAT from the Official Guides. However, it took me only a short time to realize this strategy wasn't right. I needed more than the concepts in the guide before the questions to solidify my preparation for the exam. Hence, I started navigating the internet to select an appropriate course. I came across excellent reviews for e-gmat on websites such as Quora, Reddit, and GMAT Club. A lot of people said that the verbal course is ideal for non-natives. I decided to opt for the 'GMAT online 360' course in e-gmat.
I was amazed by the depth of the content for each part of the test. Every topic was discussed in great detail, covering all possible ways the test maker may test that concept. To minimize the time spent, the modules in SC had pre-assessment quizzes s that one could go through the files accordingly. Post-assessment quizzes tested how much one had learned through the file. RC strategies were beneficial. The quant part was extensive; if one diligently follows their course, one can easily crack GMAT quant.
Cementing process was one of the most impressive parts of the course. It ensured that the concepts were solidified. Additionally, it helped me get comfortable with the hard questions required to score high in every section.
AI and data analytics helped me identify my weak areas to work upon. We could identify the questions that took us longer than the median time. Analysis of such questions was a great opportunity for improvement.
The subject matter experts were extremely helpful. Each doubt was cleared within 24 hours. Their intent wasn't just to solve the immediate doubt but to identify why the student had that confusion and to recommend suitable courses of action to bridge the gap in understanding.
Strategy experts were exceptionally helpful at every step of the preparation. Whenever I hit any roadblock, they would guide me. As a part of the Last Mile Program, I received direct support from Rida. She was an outstanding mentor. Not only did she help me analyze my mocks in the right direction, but she was also a constant source of support. I would contact her after each mock, and she used to help me with the corrective actions. The study plans made by her allowed me to practice a disciplined approach to the exams. You could feel the level of commitment from each of the e-gmat mentors.
I highly recommend this course!
Strengths:
THe strength of the product is the strong Verbal Base and good quality material
Would make the product better:
The support team doesnt provide enough feedback to improve and the course doesnt fit in for beginners
Overall feedback is the Course is not worth of the investment and the support only provide the robotic type of feedback as per book. I was literally studying for 6-7 hours a day for around 4-5 months in a very disciplined manner and I really thought I was improving but when I gave a mock I was at a 610-620 . I was given feedback to revise multiple times which i did but Alas the improvement was not not that great, the only one tutor Harsha whom i found worth giving feedback rest all the not worth the penny on the course we have spent.
The course is not helpful for the begginers but it can be helpful for the 2nd time test takers and for those who has completed the course.
Dear sampathgelam,
Thank you for your feedback. This is Rashmi Vaidya, one of the senior mentors here at e-GMAT. I am really happy that you liked our material. I am also sorry that it did not help you improve your target score.
We understand that each student has a unique requirement, and no course is one size fits it all. I am sorry that you found our support wanting – we strive to make our students’ preparation smoother by offering customized and comprehensive support. On looking back into your account, we can see that between July’21 to January’22 we have satisfactorily resolved 44 of your queries. Each of our teams has been involved in responding to these queries – from Subject Matter experts and mentors to support staff. We noticed that in none of your correspondence have you pointed out that you are dissatisfied with our support or that you found it lacking, so I am assuming that the responses resolved your concerns at that time.
However, I understand that the suggestions did not help you improve your score, and I am sorry for that.
Regarding your feedback about the course not being for first-time test takers, I would like to say that a lot of our students are first-time test takers. They have made the most of the course – improving by massive points to reach their target scores. Here are a couple of examples of students who have improved by 150+ points to reach their target in the first attempt itself:
Devansh improved by 240-points to reach 720 in his first attempt: https://gmatclub.com/reviews/comments/e-gmat-online-360-345361979
Rohit improved by a massive 150-points to score a 740 in his first attempt. You can watch his interview here - GMAT 740 (Q50, V40) | 150-point score improvement | 90%ile in GMAT Verbal
We would like to thank you once more for your feedback. As a company, we truly value all the feedback that we get as it allows us to grow and help more and more students achieve their dream scores. While we understand that previously you were not able to improve, we would be more than happy to assist you if you are still looking for help in getting to your target.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Best regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
I used e-gmat online course that included both verbal and quant. I must say, the verbal explanations are by far the best I have seen. I only rely on 2 sources for detailed verbal explanations- egmat shraddha and GMAT intensive. You won't find explanations using the words awkward at all because that is not a genuine reason to reject an answer. I love their approach although it's very long and tedious and one can master the timing using that approach only through a lot of practice. The team is fantastic. They helped me even after my access expired and that too within 24 hrs. Although I did not score well, that was totally my mistake ( I panicked so much) and my inability to utilize the course fully.
I joined e-gmat in September and was a part of the Last Mile program. Before joining them I had a 690 on Gmat. The courses on verbal were fantastic and gave a structured process to approach a problem. Under the LMP, Atreya Roy gave the personalized support to identify weak areas, made me take a number of quizzes and helped me fix timing issues. He also analysed my sigma-mocks.
Unfortunately, my variance in mocks was something that we could not fix (710-760). Even though I ended up with a score I am not satisfied with and a low verbal I don't think e-gmat's course and support was in anyway lacking.
Hi Dkp,
First of all, congratulations on scoring a 700. I wish you would have gotten to the 730. You were well on the way, and I hoped you will reach there. Nevertheless, let us understand the key takeaways of your journey till now.
Breaking the 700-barrier needs persistence efforts, diligence, and resilience. You had portrayed all the above and hence you were able to get to a 700. From our journey, I found two major highlights:
1) I loved the fact that you completed the course diligently and that translated to your scores in Scholaranium. The screenshot below entails more information.

2) Perfect Test Readiness Scores: You had great scores in your Test Readiness quizzes that laid the path to a 740.

I wish you all the best for the next steps. In case you retake the GMAT, you know whom to dial 😉

Verbal is recommended to all especially non native speakers
SC is very good. Meaning based approach to each sentence correction really makes a lot of difference while solving medium to hard questions.
CR was average. I mean some techniques were handy for solving hard questions but in general it was also helpful.
RC was below average. Nothing special was mention here. If you are purchasing this only for RC then I would like to warn you.
Quants was very extensive. For an Indian or Asian test taker you will easily get bored with the repetition of the content. For me It was not that useful. but for test taker with non maths or engineering background it might help.
At the end i would only recommend it for SC and CR, and if you are only buying it for quants then there are many other better alternatives available
Hello all,
I gave my second GMAT on Aug26 and scored Q50 V35. My first attempt - Q50 V31. As a working professional I somehow managed time and researched a lot on what does push my verbal to a perfect score. I literally went through almost all free sample verbal courses and its resources available online. I finally took a strategy session with E-gmat and understood this could help me. Below are my takeaways.
Pros:
1. Content - Solid content on whole verbal section especially in SC. One could actually say its the most comprehensive solution for "SC". It's SC is divided into 9 topics - 1 of which is on "Meaning" - this tells us how strong is the content in SC.
The same goes for RC and CR too. The learning videos might be a bit long but getting a good verbal score do need that prep and e-gmat has done excellent job in getting the content solidified.
2. Scholaranium : It has the most equivalent verbal questions in comparision with offical gmat especially in easy and medium difficulty level. It has almost 800+ Verbal questions to practice with the count growing everyday .
3. Analytics : It's analytics is all we need to assess ourselves on where we are lagging and guides us we need to go back to learning phase. It is very intuitive and much needed if we dont know where is the specific lagging in Verbal section.
Cons :
Expert reply : The only thing that bothered me through out the course is while the explanation they give covers all the possible scenario's. In several cases when we reach out to them for the doubts - their replies are not convincing .
Also when users ask question in relevant scenario's the reply from e-gmat experts is "As per e-gmat rules , we cannot answer questions that is not in e-gmat official curriculum or their question bank" - this is something should be addressed being a leader in verbal courses.
Conclusion : E-gmat verbal content is super strong, however its customer reply service is frustrating at times and needs to be addressed by its management.
Congratulations on scoring a 710. This score will give you a shot at securing an admit from many B-schools. We are also happy that we could help you in the process and also glad you loved our verbal content.
As you rightly said, our expert responses are very thorough – they cover all bases, including giving you reasons on how to think about approaching a question, what to do in steps 1, 2, and 3. We also give you solid reasons as to why you should reject each incorrect option. Our goal – with every question you solve on our platform, your improvement should be 3X as much as it is when you solve the same question on any other platform.
As a policy, we do not comment on questions created by other prep companies. For one, we don’t want people to practice those questions (note, we support all official questions) as we have no way to judge whether, given your preparation, these questions are even appropriate for you to solve. Second – we don’t want to open ourselves for litigation by commenting on questions from non-official sources.
I understand that it is frustrating when you solve a question and are unable to get a quality explanation on why a certain answer choice is incorrect. However, if you have purchased the questions from a certain source, then it is that source’s responsibility to provide quality explanations (you have paid that source, after all)
Overall, our goal is to help you succeed, and often, the shortest path to success involves practicing questions on e-GMAT and tracking the corresponding data. This is why we provide thousands of questions and continue to add to our already comprehensive repository. This process has helped us deliver more success (700+ scores) than all other GMAT Club partners combined have. Let us know if you need to improve that Verbal score further and we will be happy to guide you.

I purchased the course in 2019. The course is good for getting acquainted with the basics, according to my opinion. I felt that the master comprehension model is a very good and helpful part of the course. Apart from that, I needed additional tutoring from a private verbal tutor after the course. The course is good for beginners who are just starting out on GMAT. Many of my friends also bought the course and didn't report a phenomenal improvement, but that's just my observation. So I would recommend buying the course for just the fundamentals and supplementing it with additional resources.
I took the e-GMAT full course for a preparation time of around 45 days. Though the course is lengthy, there is a detailed explanation for each concept which is a must for initial preparation. There were questions for each difficulty level for each concept with application quizzes and scholaranium.
But I felt that while going through the course and different questions, I got so used to the question types, that I was able to answer 90% of questions correctly by reading in one go. But the questions which we see in official guides and real-gmat are very different from what we see in e-gmat practice (language, style etc). That's where it all becomes difficult.
There are surely certain deficiencies in the course :
1) They say they are only a test prep company, but don't provide any prep material or guidance to prepare for AWA section.
2) The video quality for IR section was bad and unwanted background images.
3) The course can cement your concepts, but once you get used to it, all the scholaranium seems similar in Verbal (mostly SC, and CR section).
4) They count the total number of questions including OG questions but for OG only questions are available and not the options.
5) The approach which e-GMAT purports cannot be mastered in a small amount of time and once you try to apply that, it slows you down drastically, whereas GMAT is a test of speed and accuracy.
6) Once you buy the course, there is not much further support and if you ask for any help from support, they will blame you for nonsense.
7) Do not have summary files for anything except SC section.
So, on the whole, before taking the course I scored 700 and after taking the course I scored 700.
I would recommend this course if your target is up to 700, but after that, I will say apart from this course please go through additional preparation to train your mind to change for GMAT style questions.
My main focus for taking e-gmat was for improving my verbal score. My verbal score was 27 first time around and 34 after taking the course.
The verbal course is well structured. Modules for each topic covers exhaustive concepts tested in exam and clearly explained. I just went through all videos and practice questions and quizzes. Questions in scholarium are descent GMAT level questions.
Meaning based approach for sentence correction questions really helped me improve accuracy for SC questions. With systematic method taught for critical reasoning , I could easily answer difficult level questions.
Sigma mocks also gives a GMAT like experience and gives in depth and ESR analysis
I have been preparing for GMAT Through egmat online course and I found it be very lacking regards to the content. Also I feel their questions in the Scholaranium to be harder than usual and not a representative of actual gmat. Overall, I found it very hard to finish their course and I felt that their layout of content to be a bit lacking. My verbal score did not increase even a bit after spending few months (except for SC) with E-gmat Verbal. I feel they do a lot of marketing for their course to gain people but wish they would put more effort towards the course. Their exam is not at all close to the real one atleast not even close to veritas or mgamt. Their quant course is awful. Pllease consider befor taking this gmat course.
Dear @SonGoku,
I am extremely sorry to hear that you couldn’t get your desired score in your recent attempt. I understand how disappointing it can be after putting in the effort to ace it.
In a pursuit to identify what stopped you from acing the GMAT and what you should do next, I tried to look you up on the e-GMAT platform. Can you please confirm whether you are registered with murtXXXXXX@icloud.com or not?
I await for your response.
Best,
Archit
Thank you for confirming your email id. I looked up your course attempts and I noticed several data points which indicated that you were not ready to take the test.
I’ll try to summarise them for you:
Gaps in conceptual knowledge – You mentioned that you could not improve in any sub-section except for SC. This is quite in line with your course attempts. I noticed that you covered only 24% of CR and 7% of RC course content and practically solved 0 questions on Verbal Scholaranium. I’m afraid your Quant attempts aren’t too different. In Quant, too, I see you completed no sub-section except Number Properties, that too with an average score of 65% in Concept files.
Missed several feedback points: e-GMAT platform provides upwards of 50 feedback points. One such feedback point is the scores in Concept and Application files. A score of less than 80% indicates that a student hasn’t internalised concepts and that the pertinent topics immediate attention. Another extremely important feedback point is the score in Sigma-X mock test. You scored 490 in your last SIGma-X mock, exactly what you scored in the actual GMAT. This score indicated that you were not ready to take the test.
Poor adherence to the provided Plan: This was probably the biggest reason and the root cause of all the other issues. I see you stopped following 3 Stage learning architecture and the milestone-driven plan that I had shared with you back you had just started off your prep. Acing GMAT requires you to acquire certain foreign skills and mastering them. Like any other foreign skill, acing these skills too requires persistence and diligence. However, that doesn’t mean that you give up on it.
I’d like to help you out with your next attempt. Please reach out to me at support@e-gmat.com, and we will work on the plan of action that you should follow for you.
Best,
Archit
