WILLIAM BULLINGTON – :
Worth it!
Siddharth – :
eGMAT was the study buddy I needed to ace my GMAT exam. I initially took the GMAT without official prep and ended up scoring a 660. As soon as I signed up on the eGMAT platform, I got access to the well-structured modules. I was always good at Quants and knew I needed some serious help with verbal to achieve my target score. Within a week, I was part of a cohort led by a mentor who proved to be a true guide. I really liked the weekly targets given that helped me stay on track.
In spite of the pandemic, the virtual support kept me at the top of my game. I ended up scoring my target score of 750, which would have been a lot more difficult had I not taken up the eGMAT course…
Hana – :
I followed all the EGmat courses available on the platform, it helped me improve my score from 460 to 640 in 2 months. I thought the course helped me more in the verbal section.
Ravali K – :
The best part of the e-gmat course is self-paced learning. It enabled me to prepare for the GMAT with a full-time job. The content is really good(especially the Sentence Correction section) and the tests before and after a lesson helped me in cementing the concepts. For GMAT, the application of concepts is really important and the practice portal helped me in achieving that.
Divya Gambhir – :
Overall EGMAT’s course is good, especially for Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning. The topic-wise quizzes really help in building a strong base for the GMAT test. I believe that the method to solve RC is excessively long and is difficult to replicate during exam day.
I particularly liked E-GMAT’s question bank – Scholaranium which has amazing GMAT-like questions and really helped me in making progress from easy to difficult level questions.
One improvement area for EGMAT is to provide better doubt clarification support.
Nourang Syed – :
It was very useful for the verbal portion. Mathematics was not too great and excessively long.
Nikhil Goyal – :
I would strongly recommend the e-GMAT course on Sentence Correction. The way the content is delivered is great and it contains the right level of detail. E-GMAT consistently stresses that it is the meaning & the context of the sentence that needs to be understood before tackling any sentence correction question.
I would strongly recommend non-native and native speakers of English to try out e-GMAT courses.
Ross Hassler – :
This really helped me prepare for the exam and has helped me raise my score quite a bit! Well worth it!
Somto Ibe – :
Biggest advantage: Very thorough modules. Infact at some points, it feels too thorough but the good news is that it’s not just teaching, you also get the opportunity to solve lots of quiz questions that really solidify the concepts.
And then of course, there’s the scholarium which is their question bank. Lots of great questions to cement the concepts.
Thanks to e-GMAT my critical reasoning and number properties competency increased significantly. Those were the two areas I saw the greatest improvement but overall I will say that their content is pretty solid.
Biggest disadvantage: It really does take a while to go through all of the material and at some point, it feels like there’s no progress. My recommendation is to continue the prep, it gets better eventually.
Ben – :
CR is best. SC and RC are okay, but they didn’t help me to increase my score.
Suradis Seemakhupt – :
I took the E-GMAT Verbal course, and its strategies to tackle each questions are phenomenal. For example, in SC, it changed the way I dealt with each question, from remembering only grammar rules and doing a vertical scan to understanding the intended meaning and spending most of the time on the original option. Also in CR, its Pre-thinking method really help me avoid being tricked by wrong choices. In short, its approaches really helped me to enhance accuracy while increasing speed for each question.
Joe – :
Study, Study, Study the math is the hardest bit especially after being out of school for several years.
Christopher Moore – :
This is an affordable way to prepare for the GMAT test. Easy to navigate.
Will McMinn – :
I originally spent a lot of money signing up for Vertias’ live course. This experience merely only provided me with an introduction to the test format and was not conducive to deepening my understanding of strategies. I then came across EGMAT and everything clicked. Their abundance of free resources was enough to not only keep me busy, but also allowed me to obtain a strong understanding of test and truly build my confidence. Finding EGMAT was the true turning point in my GMAT prep and led me to scoring a 720 and landing a spot at my dream M7 school.
Osereme Ujadughele – :
I really enjoyed using e-GMAT when I was studying for the GMAT. I initially tried studying by myself but realized I needed structure and an easy way to identify my areas of opportunity. e-GMAT gave me that. I also loved the study schedule tool and the ability to see what a realistic test date would be. That saved me a lot of time and money. I eventually switched to the GRE due to test availability during Covid but I found that the Quant skills I learned from e-GMAT was transferrable.
Jillian Hamersma – :
For my learning style, it helped to just focus on practice questions and to get quicker at doing them
Prateek Kumar Gupta – :
Some of the videos are good, especially the verbal ones. Tend To deviate from actual GMAT-like questions at times though.
(This comment is based on my experience with their free sample questions and webinars only – I did not purchase a package from eGMAT. This comment should clarify my original Nov 2019 review.)
Jeremy Myles – :
Spot on with Information and Content. This Is A Great GRE Test Prep
Renea Williams – :
This prepared me for the GMAT and was very helpful.
Jared Michael Leonetti – :
Very relevant information and well paced. This is a great GRE test prep and will teach you the tips and tricks you need to get a great score.
Alfred Korona – :
Very insightful
Jessee McMillan – :
Access to all of the e-content and the online courses made it easy to study at any time during the day!
Jonathan Cervantes – :
Great way to prepare for the GMAT. Took the GMAT once without the eGMAT and wanted to do better, so signed up and did way better the second time!
Emily Flint – :
Great tool for those who are not native English speakers. Worth every penny!
Christopher Leclair – :
an excellent tool to help you study and retain new information
Narges Mohammad – :
Easy To Use! and the Best Choice For Foreign Students Who Are Non-Native English Speakers.
Robertson Guercy – :
Wonderful And Easy To Use! I know It Helped Increase My Scores Significantly And Helped Me To Achieve Successful Result.
Alex Umansky – :
The best choice for foreign students who are non-native English speakers.
Erica Howe – :
Wonderful and easy to use! I think it helped increase my scores significantly and helped me to achieve successful results.
Ariel Geldien – :
This online prep course is awesome!
Wenshan Wang – :
The Verbal videos are very helpful!
John – :
Solid prep. Verbal portion would be good for non-native speakers.
Mimi Trinh – :
The content and structure of the course are very well built. But the result, at least for me personally, was not good. My score dropped after taking this course. And I put 200 hours into studying.
Victoire Cagniart – :
E-GMAT is a great way to get into the school of your dreams!
Nicole Gambardella – :
I found this review very helpful and convenient. I was able to do practice exams and questions in my available time. I have a full time job and other responsibilities, so it was nice to use an online system, in lieu of a scheduled class. I did well on the exam, as I was able to use this to study.
Raegen Dotson – :
Great questions to get you prepped. If nothing else, it reminds you of the math rules you once learned that you need to revisit and gets you back in a “standardized test” way of thinking.
Prateek Kumar Gupta – :
Some of the videos are good, especially the verbal ones. Tend to deviate from actual GMAT-like questions at times though.
Kimberly Dang – :
Prepping for the gmat, I was looking for study material and resources that would provide me flexibility. The e-gmat program helped me tremendously in providing the content that I needed in order to succeed. What I enjoyed best about the program was how well it was structured and easy to understand and I was very pleased with my GMAT results that this program helped me to achieve.
Annette – :
This was very helpful in identifying my specific weaknesses and helping me work on them!
Siddharth Juneja – :
Super helpful. They explain everything correctly
Richard Irby – :
I appreciated the structure of the eGMAT. The videos could have been more helpful, but the problem explanations proved quite helpful. The hardest difficulty level is actually harder than GMAT itself. So approach it as your own risk, but if you can do well with those problems you are more than ready for the GMAT.
Travis Ramsby – :
Gave a good overview of what to expect.
Tyler H – :
Recommend for anyone looking to take the GMAT!
Victoria B – :
E-gmat helped me get a good verbal score on the GMAT. The e-Gmat videos provided the in depth information for each part of the verbal section. In addition, their customer support center was great because I could email them if I have a question on a particular problem and the response was very quick. They really break down the material and cover absolutely everything needed to conquer the verbal section.
Nishant Panigrahi – :
I took the E-GMAT Quant Online after I had subscribed to their excellent Verbal Online Prep. As expected the quant course is very well structured and excellent for people who don’t have a quant heavy background. That is not to say that the course is not useful for students who have an intensive-quant background. I took up the Gmat preparation after 5 years in service and the course got me up to speed with the format of the GMAT, the structure of the questions and the quickest methods to solve problems. In the next couple of sections, I will explain what worked for me and what I did not like in the course offering.
Quant-Online
Course Structure
The Structure of the course is super-easy to follow and makes for an interesting read. People who want to brush their knowledge of a certain topic will find the course structure really easy. One can pick up individual topics and follow the sequence to go thru the theory, the application files and the practice questions to gain a complete understanding. Further, the comfort of doing the course at your own pace and in your own time is a really great option.
Course Concepts and Questions
The course breaks down tough concepts into easy to understand videos and slides. Before starting the course, I knew I had trouble with algebra. The online courses on algebra are excellent and it gave me a firm grip on the subject. The Number Properties Course, Probability and P&C are also excellent courses. The course gets down to the basics and helps to build the concept right from the ground up. Because of the course’s focus on the basics, complemented with GMAT-like questions, I thoroughly recommend the course to people who are short on time.
Scholaranium
Scholaranium is the Gold-Standard of analysis. Those who have used the Verbal Online prep are aware of the usefulness of the Platform. The Quant online Scholaranium is quite detailed and really gives you an idea about your weaknesses and helps you prepare by practising more questions of a certain type. The scholaranium has the option of letting you choose between Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard questions. The Easy, Medium and Hard Categories are true representations of the Questions on the GMAT. However, I felt that the Very Hard Category Questions are long and difficult questions that I can’t imagine to solve within the stipulated timeline of 2mins/questions. The rest of the questions are really great and these are some of the toughest questions you will ever find. I would go a step further and also liken the questions standards to the Quant Questions on the GMAT Club. Scholarannium also provides a detailed solution with an ability to bookmark and review the questions.
Quant Workshops
The Quant workshops are tests conducted by the E-Gmat team. These tests give you a detailed feedback on your strengths and weaknesses. This is a must-try for anyone who is looking to improve his/her score
All in All, I wholeheartedly recommend the course to students. The course is flexible enough to adapt the different requirements and will truly help you understand the areas of improvement.
Juan Felipe Builes – :
It is a good tool but it should be complemented with other platforms in order to maximize the outcome. It did not help me after I hit a plateau.
I required a greater bank of questions, so I user Manhattan Prep as well.
onwajunior – :
Excellent resource for non-native English speakers. I was sceptical at first but decided to try. The instructors take their time to explain all the different strategies for each section. I really enjoyed eGMAT’s test platform (scholaranium, it allowed me to focus on my weaknesses and I loved that I became aware of takt time. My major problem was with Verbal so I concentrated on verbal and studied for quant by myself. eGMAT is the most complete platform for verbal.
venram – :
The test prep and verbal review were excellent and helped me bump up my overall score by a crucial 20 points. Each question/ exercise in egmat helps you learn something new with explanations that can be replicated across other similar questions.
Smig – :
While signing up for GMAT Club, I had received a trial access to eGMAT. I instantly liked it, and purchased the whole package. The curriculum and the sessions were not daunting at all, they’re actually very fun to learn with. And the tests after every module provided a real-time check of my learning curve.
I couldn’t attend all the live sessions, but the recordings came in handy and saved a lot of time.
By the time I finished the modules, SC and CR became a piece of cake. My accuracy increased to about 85% and I could actually reason with myself if I marked the answer wrong.
I would also like to mention that both Rajat and Payal’s promptness in answering my questions, or getting back to me whenever I needed them was beyond expectations. Their team would get back to me within 10-12 hours, at times sooner. Not that I needed a lot of help, because the videos were self-explanatory, but they were always there to address any admin-related query.
Egmater – :
Egmat helped me get a good GMAT score. I found the videos to be helpful in explaining the concepts in depth. Their internal forum is quite active and has some good discussions to read. The team is responsive in answering any questions regarding the material, or concepts or just administrative stuff.
LeonardoMR – :
e-GMAT is really well structured, the videos are expertly crafted and focused on an out of the box approach to non-native English speakers. The questions and subsequent explanations are very helpful to prepare for the actual test. I took Quant only package, while accessing the free webinars and content. I recommend it, it helped me get 710 on my first test
egmatuser – :
EGMAT was helpful. the quant is harder than the actual gmat which makes the real exam feel like cake walk. I didn’t find the videos as helpful as the questions, and i would stay away from the “super hard” difficulty level as it is way beyond the gmat. for verbal again- i didn’t find the lecture videos particularly helpful but DEFINITELY recommend the practice questions they have. overall egmat was helpful in securing a 750+ score.
Aselageb – :
Proper preparation is essential for gmat success and this is a too notch prep program.
GIBRANSCR – :
i took the egmat verbal course it really helps to learn the concepts. You can save time, I had reviewed several materials of different companies and websites, but those materials were not clear enough. the advantage of this course is that they explain the concepts that are evaluated in the official gmat guide.
Akhilesh keshap – :
I took the E-gmat course in 2014 when I started preparing for the GMAT. As a non-native , my Achilles heel was the verbal section. After studying myself with the official material I had purchased I gave a few mock GMATs and my verbal score did not increase. I read through a lot of forums and found that E-gmat was a good resource for the non-natives. I enrolled myself for the free course and liked it so much that I bought the whole package. It was really useful for me and I did end up getting V40 on the verbal and 730 on the GMAT eventually.
Song Mu – :
Great gmat prep
Daniel Monteiro – :
It was great. I saw my score improving after finishing my on-demand course in only 2 weeks. The exercises are a little bit different of the real test, but they give you a good improve in your verbal skills, then I suggest to take all Official Guide exercises, and e-gmat have the solutions using their approach to you check later.
Purvi Gupta – :
The verbal course package was amazing. Just by watching the videos and picking on the tips for RC and CR, my scores started improving within a month. Specially useful for non-native speakers.
Bilal Idriss – :
The lessons learned helped me increase my English and Math scores by 80 points. The beauty of it is that it is very flexible and has a lot of practice exercises that are different from the GMAT official book.
Tejaswini Mallem – :
The videos provided by egmat are very comprehensive and easy to understand.
Juggling a full time job and gmat prep was difficult at times, but just watching the videos helped me a lot with my critical reasoning and reading comprehension.
Pawan – :
E-GMAT.com started out as the best Verbal prep company. I think they still retain the position in the market. Their content is very easy to interpret for non-native speakers.
Rajat and his team breakdown verbal concept into a set of rules which are easy to understand and revise. Further, there is ample amount of handholding and testing that would lead you to be successful.
Raghav Mohan – :
Very professional and targeted towards the Indian demographic.
Abhinav Nigam – :
I took the english improving package and it was of great help. My scores increased consistently and I received 99 percentile in the actual GMAT verbal.
Karunakar Reddy Pottim – :
The course was good at familiarizing with the topics that are being tested on in the Gmat. it didnot help me in improving my score beyond a point
