Hi guys,

I enrolled for EGMAT online course on 8th October 2015, so considering 6 months validity it must expire on April 8th and it was expiring on that same date.

But suddenly today I received a mail from EGmat saying that my subscription is expiring on 12th Jan i.e. today itself. it also mentions that as I have completed my exam and so if I want to extend my subscription then I must mail them my exam details.

Doesn't EGmat come with a standard 6 months validity? If yes then how come they reduced my subscription based on my exam details?

Does anybody here experienced similar thing?

Also I would like to mention that I did mail them asking for an extension but as EGMAT normally takes 10 days to reply to student queries so I don't expect any answeres from them soon.

Hi hss_0505,

This sounds like a question of 'company policy', so I'm not sure if anyone here can answer these questions for you. Egmat doesn't have a dedicated sub-Forum on this website, but you might be able to find one on other websites. Is it really true that the company takes 10 days to respond to emails? Are you sure that you're reaching out with the proper email address?

Hey Rich,

I am sure by the time you will read this reply my EGmat VO subscription would have been short closed even with two months of subscription was still left and I told you they don't reply that quickly and thus I am still to get an answer to my reverted mail to egmat !!

Yes Rich, EGmat has substandard student support service. It actually takes minimum of 6 to 7 days to reply to your queries and the reply which one receives is also not quite helpful. It seems some random guys manages its support service.

I recall an incident wherein it took me two reminders and 8 days to get a strategy mail reply from EGMAT & of course the reply was as usual below par.

One thing I surely would like to mention here is that once you enroll for its verbal online course, then the co founders are virtually out of bounds for you. You will only get computerized replies from them and if student mails to one of the co founders mail ID then the reply takes even more time to get reverted and also the reply will be from the same guy who manages the support service. So irrespective of how many times the co founder shouts during his free webinar to mail him in case of any query he actually means "mail him in case of subscription/ monetary queries" and once you subscribe its a bye- bye from him & you will never be able to contact him or expect any guidance from him.

I actually realized this shortcomings after enrolling for Magoosh, its student support service Wowed me!!

Rich, lastly I would like to thank you for the selfless help you provide to students on such forums & no doubt you are the most active & thanked expert on forums.

Yes, eGMAT normally gives 6 months, but if you reported or they detected you took the exam, they may shorten access; best is to contact their support directly for correction or extension.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
