GMAT review
Hello everyone! I recently took my GMAT exam on January 31st and scored 710. My preparation journey was quite lengthy and perhaps unconventional, involving multiple attempts before my latest endeavor, which fell on the final date of the current edition of the GMAT. Throughout this process, I gained invaluable insights, and I'm eager to share some of those, particularly highlighting the significant role that e-gmat played in helping me attain that score. I underwent a lengthy self preparation journey that did not result in achieving my target score. After reading several positive reviews on GMAT Club and participating in some excellent YouTube live sessions by them, I made the decision to choose e-gmat for my preparation, and I'm extremely grateful that I did.
My section wise improvement:
Verbal:
I believe an important aspect for scoring well in Verbal is building the skill of comprehension. It took me some time, but eventually, reading passages with the genuine aim of comprehension rather than superficially became second nature to me. Visualizing the provided information and forming logical connections while reading eventually became a non-negotiable process, significantly altering the way I grasped CR and RC passages. The process of ‘Pre-thinking’ in CR helped me improve my timing in CR questions and also reject incorrect answer choices on solid grounds.
Quant:
Considering my background in engineering, I almost completely ignored preparing for Quant section in my previous attempts. Everytime, scoring a Q42. For my latest attempt, I went through every Quant module given in the course. While solving questions, I noticed that, like many others, I was making errors in questions I knew how to solve! I referred to these errors as 'silly' mistakes. After this, I realized the importance of ‘process skills’ in quant as well. I changed the way I solved quant questions, laying stress on consciously making sure all cases are covered, explicitly writing constraints while reading the question stem, etc.
Specific areas of the course that benefited me:
1. The course content is comprehensive and very well structured. I personally believe that if you do this course right, follow the exact learning process diligently, you will see a remarkable transformation in your performance. The structured approach to learning was instrumental in facilitating my learning journey.
2. E-gmat emphasizes a lot on skill-building over mere content absorption. Towards the end of the course aside from one or two topics, I didn't find it necessary to revisit the course material, as such.
3. Scholaranium : I can't stress enough the significance of this platform in evaluating and analyzing my progress. It provided all the data necessary for understanding my strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
4. Mentorship : Shout out to Akash for mentoring me in the final days of my prep. Every step was personally structured towards filling my process gaps and test readiness! It was not just about giving mocks, it was about giving tests / quizzes the right way!
Some tips:
1. Maintain an error log! I maintained a very detailed error log with detailed notes on where I faltered and corrective actions. This error log became my only source for revision in the later stages of prep. I used ‘notion’ for this.
2. As an e-gmat student, I would say, trust the process, it works! Look, the course is lengthy, time consuming and feels daunting at first. Halfway through the learning phase, I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content that was left to consume and the time I had taken to complete the first half of it. I already felt exhausted. But, I continued with the course, taking breaks at appropriate intervals. I realized it was best for me to take my time and do things the right way.
3. Do not attempt GMAT unprepared. This might sound trivial to most, but some of us have a different approach to giving exams! :P There are no shortcuts to GMAT and I feel you need to be prepared for every scenario : order of questions, super hard RC passage right in the middle of the test etc. Giving mocks is a great way to analyze such gaps and be prepared for it. Keep calm, exercise. A lot has to go right to achieve a score that accurately reflects your true potential.
Strengths:
Critical reasoning modules and scholaranium.
Would make the product better:
Omitting the extra hard Qs in PS category and inclusion of Verbal DS practise Qs
Helped me improve my verbal a lot, explanations given for solutions are quite good.
DI section is quite dense and structured and helped in improving my GITA section. Ample amount of MSRs, TPA are available to practice which are along the lines of GMAT official Qs.
Scholaranium (Question Bank) is awesomee as training through it helped me increase my speed by making custom quizzes.
You can reach out to them for queries/mentorship/guide as they are very accessible over mail.
I was able to score 735 at the end, I would say eGMAT, gmatclub along with OG materials are enough to ace GMAT
Strengths:
The Analytics it provides, i would say is the best. Once you know how to use that data in your preparation it will help you a lot.
Would make the product better:
Everything is good, an addition of the feature to review 3 question in quizzes ma be good idea as it may help to strategize with tough questions.
The Course is really good and budget friendly.
Quant: The kind of questions on scholaranium is good, you have the option to create quizzes based on your requirement like may be mixed quiz or for a specific topic. The analytics help you to identify how you fare among all the others. It help you to identify your weak areas as well.
2. Verbal : Again, I feel the scholaranium is the best part, the questions and amount of practice you can there to solidify your understanding is really great. Helped me improve from v79to v83.
3. Data Insight : The questions are similar to actual test, but again the main thing is the amount of question and quality of question you have to practice is great. It helped to control my anxiety with lengthy DI questions. Their MSR error log is great. Really helps you o identify which bucket your mistake fall into
I think along with all above their LMP program is really great initiative, helps you to startegize your study paln, keep you focused and motivated. This is a much needed thing as may be working prof you may not have time to do all the planning on your own. They can help with this. In fact the startegic plan and the scholaranium are the best part of egmat and really helped me reach 705.
Strengths:
E-GMAT is process oriented. They teach you processes of how to solve any problem, not tricks. They provide a comprehensive and adaptive study plan that tells you exactly what you need to study, how long, and keeps track of your progress. They have a gigantic library of practice problems and they keep track of what you got wrong. Also, they have wonderful mock tests and custom quizzes available so that you can see areas of weaknesses and improve drastically on them!
Would make the product better:
The only tricky part is that there is a lot to this platform. Take time and go through the orientation videos that they provide, otherwise you will be lost. There are so many great features, but it is overwhelming if you don’t take time to get acquainted. One feature that I wish I learned about quicker was utilizing the Q&A in every question. There is a form where you can submit questions about particular problems and see other people’s questions. A few times, I went here and found that someone else had the same exact question that was already answered by an expert. If it isn’t already answered, E-GMAT does a wonderful job of answering it as soon as possible.
E-GMAT is the most comprehensive and efficient tool for you to improve on the GMAT! I am a college student running two businesses, and I improved my score over 100 points in a month using E-GMAT. They don't just give you problems and answers. They teach you how to efficiently and effectively solve problems. I struggled most on time and how to break down problems when I started. One of the best things about E-GMAT is they teach you how to “Pre-think,” which is a strategy used in Verbal and Data Insights to save a ton of time and get the right answer before evaluating the answers. Also, E-GMAT has lesson plans that teach you the information needed to solve the problems and the techniques to apply the information to solve complex problems. They have a huge library of practice problems that you can work through. Each question has a comprehensive solution explanation along with strategies on how to solve it. Just as your study journey changes, the platform is also very adaptive. E-GMAT keeps a record of all of your practice and improvement. This allowed me to see which types of questions I struggled with the most. Lastly, I was able to assemble practice quizzes made up of problems that I got wrong or took a lot of time on. Using these, I was able to become faster at complex quantitative problems and data sufficiency problems. I highly recommend E-GMAT to the people who do not want tricks, but who actually want a tool bag to solve complex problems and score in the top percentiles.
I recently graduated with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Before starting my professional career, I decided to tackle the GMAT to clear it off my checklist. Despite my strong background in these fields, I found the Quantitative section to be my Achilles' heel. One of the major challenges I faced during my GMAT preparation was finding dedicated study time and sticking to a consistent plan. With numerous distractions and other activities vying for my attention, maintaining a focused study routine was often difficult.
For my GMAT preparation, I opted for e-GMAT as my primary study resource. The platform proved to be comprehensive, offering everything I needed to prepare for the exam in one place. It allowed me to identify and work on my weaknesses effectively, especially in the Quant section. The personalized study approach was invaluable, enabling me to skip sections where I was already performing well and focus more on challenging topics. Additionally, the detailed solution videos provided by e-GMAT were instrumental in enhancing my problem-solving skills and understanding complex concepts.
In the final weeks leading up to the exam, I intensified my study efforts with an intense focus on revisiting challenging topics and taking practice tests to simulate the actual exam environment. While e-GMAT's resources were comprehensive, I felt that more specific guidance or test-taking tips for the final push would have been beneficial. For future GMAT aspirants, I highly recommend starting the preparation early, even if you're planning to apply 3-4 years from now. This approach will allow you to study at a comfortable pace without feeling pressured. Consistency is key, so maintain regular study habits, focus on understanding the concepts rather than memorizing them, and practice regularly to identify and improve your weaknesses.
Strengths:
The platform has strong preparation material with extensive question database. More importantly, the sub tools such as PACE, Cementing and score report analysis are extremely useful tools for FT employees who would not have the time to go through each and every material or conduct a self analysis on the progress.
Would make the product better:
Nothing in particular
I have previously prepared for GMAT on my own and wasnt happy with my score. I sensed the need of a planned training with guidance to doubts. I opted for E-GMAT post analysis and it is an understatement to say that I am happy with the results. I started with preparing for Quant and Verbal for GMAT Classic. Quant has been my strength so there was no concern with it. Verbal was a nightmare for me and that was one reason why I have taken E-GMAT as it is known to help non-native speakers. For GMAT Focus, I had the added advantage that Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension were relatively my stronger sections in Verbal. But E-GMAT actually helped me bolster my preparation for these sections. Their Master Comprehension section trains you for these two sections and even for MSR in DI section. Finding the 4 incorrect options out of the 5 options is an effective strategy but E-GMAT's stress on Pre-Thinking is to help you reach to the right answer at faster pace.
Another place E-GMAT helped me particularly is the Bold Face questions in Critical Reasoning, I used to let go of Bold Face questions due to the time they used to consume. E-GMAT's strategy has been effective enough for me to get almost every Bold Face questions right after a point.
Finally, with all the information flowing around, DI has been a nightmare for me. In my first mock, I got a 77 in DI and I realised there is a long road up ahead. However, E-GMAT has ton of questions to practice and shares a couple of questions as templates that are extremely useful. With the right amount of practice, one can predict where is the question leading to after going through the templates and save those previous seconds.
Finally, I was able to achieve 685 and I am extremely happy with the result! Thanks to E-GMAT and especially their counsellor who has kept track of my practice and activities throughout the process.
Preparing alone is great but in case of doubt, it is good to get a training kit such as the ones provided by E-GMAT because it nearly narrows down your actions and makes this whole process much efficient!
I would once again like to thank E-GMAT for helping me with my MBA journey.
Strengths:
1. Personalized strategies
2. Comprehensive learning
3. Realistic testing environment
4. Time-saving features
5. Supportive community
I first stumbled upon e-GMAT through a friend's recommendation, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. This platform has been instrumental in my GMAT preparation journey, particularly in tackling all three subsections effectively. What sets e-GMAT apart is their strategic approach tailored to each subsection. Their emphasis on understanding the meaning behind questions and prethinking techniques significantly boosted my verbal score.
One crucial lesson I learned is that mastering a topic isn't about solving endless questions but grasping problem-solving methodologies and solidifying basic concepts. The cementing quizzes provided a test-like environment, reinforcing all the concepts I learned in each subsection.
The PACE engine on the platform was a game-changer, saving me countless hours by allowing me to skip concepts I already knew well, focusing instead on areas where I needed improvement. Additionally, the e-GMAT forum proved invaluable. Engaging with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in the forum, especially regarding Reading Comprehension (RC) and Critical Reasoning (CR), was enlightening. Harsha, one of my favorite SMEs, always offered spot-on responses that addressed the gaps in my understanding.
Akash from the strategy team deserves a special mention as well. He's been a constant source of support throughout my journey, providing guidance on areas of improvement, strengths, and exam strategy. Our discussions have been pivotal in shaping my preparation.
For any MBA aspirant, I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT. Their comprehensive approach, personalized guidance, and supportive community make it an indispensable tool for GMAT success.
Initially I thought about preparing for the GMAT on my own. However, I found it difficult to design a plan given the many resources available. I opted for e-Gmat's course so I would have something structured and comprehensive.
At first, you create your own Personalized Study Plan, which is interesting because it gives an idea of how much time to spend on each section. However, if you decide to complete every lesson and every quiz available, like I did, the PSP will significantly underestimate the time needed. It took me about three months to go through the whole course, though for the first month I dedicated only 2-3 hours/day (later 6+ hours/day).
I didn't try any other course, but I would recommend e-GMAT. To be honest, I chose the service because it had good reviews, but mostly because of its attractive pricing. I'm happy with the value I got for the money invested.
The program is comprehensive and the lessons are short and to the point. Lessons are usually followed by quizzes, which are very helpful because, at the end of the day, GMAT's content is fairly easy, what you need is a lot of practice solving questions.
The team is also very responsive. Communication is done through email, but I'd usually get a response within a few hours.
On the negative side, at times I was annoyed by questions that had the wrong answer marked. I remember a couple of instances, with questions regarding Correlation, that some students had previously expressed concerns on the forum, and the tutors reiterated that the answers was correct (it wasn't). I suggested they ran the correlation on Excel, which clearly showed that the answer was wrong.
The problem with that is that after you spot a few errors, you start questioning every explanation that you don't immediately agree with. I ended up wasting a lot of time checking questions I got wrong and trying to figure out is the explanation made sense.
Additionally, I was disappointed with the mock exams offered. In every exam I scored way below my target score. When I switched to the official mocks, I scored way above my target in every occasion. This is mostly the reason why I'm giving the service 4 stars. Getting such low scores deeply affected my self-confidence and I even thought about giving up. As it turns out, e-GMAT's mocks had mostly questions that took way longer than two minutes to solve. For example, in one of the mocks I scored 615, while on the official mocks I was scoring 685-725 (my actual score was 685 unfortunately).
In summary, I believe the service is good and would recommend it. Just keep in mind that the official mocks are a much better reflection of your potential score.
Dear felipebravo,
Congratulations on your score of 685 with a remarkable V86, Q85, and DI81. With this, you have become a part of the top 3 percentile test takers! A 90-point improvement overall with a 98th percentile score in Verbal is a phenomenal feat to achieve in just 3 months.
To begin with, let us look at the image below which shows how beautifully you implemented your Personalized Study Plan (PSP) by understanding the learning architecture and the overall required effort -
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/felipebravo-Personalized-Study-Plan
Please note, that the job of PSP is to give you an estimate based on your starting and target abilities. Like the GMAT, this estimate has a standard error – of about 15% or about 12-15 days in your case. I believe you were within that range.
Let us talk about mocks: Your criticism here is absolutely accurate – our mock scoring was harsh in the range you described. Our algorithm team took action on the same based on your feedback. We have tracked our scores since then, and they have been tracking very closely with both the official mocks and the actual attempts.
Once again, I want to thank you for being a student and for your constant feedback. We have created more than 2500 learning items and 12 new products for the GFE. Despite our extensive testing, perfection comes through feedback from students such as yourself. The refinement triggered by such feedback goes a long way in helping others improve faster and more efficiently.
Thank you once again!
Good luck with your applications!
Regards,
Akash

Would make the product better:
If some specific techniques for time and stress management are included in the course, it'll make it even better.
I recently undertook eGMAT's online course to prepare for the GMAT, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the comprehensive content to the invaluable mentorship, eGMAT has truly exceeded my expectations.
First and foremost, the quality of content across all sections is unparalleled. The material is meticulously crafted, covering every aspect of the GMAT syllabus in great detail. The structured approach made it easy for me to grasp even the most complex concepts.
The mentors at eGMAT are another highlight of the course. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in my preparation journey. They provided personalized support, addressing my doubts and concerns promptly, which significantly boosted my confidence.
Thanks to eGMAT, I was able to achieve a commendable score of 655 in my first attempt. However, if there's one area for improvement, it would be the verbal course. While the content is excellent, incorporating additional techniques to enhance time management would be beneficial.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend eGMAT to anyone preparing for the GMAT. Their commitment to excellence and dedication to student success are truly commendable. Thank you, eGMAT, for playing a pivotal role in my GMAT journey!

Strengths:
The strengths of the product are:
1. Concept files which explain the concepts just like you would do to a beginner.
2. Basic strategy building for both the Verbal and the Quant sections.
3. Structure of the course with practice quizzes following the concept files and cementing quizzes post sub-section completion.
4. Performance insights which illustrate your strengths and areas of improvement.
5. Constant support from the team on performance analysis and improvement feedback.
Would make the product better:
Some improvements to the product could be:
1. The question bank sometimes does return a similar question that has either previously been attempted or was discussed in one of the concept files. This has happened a few times for CR questions. Since the question was previously attempted, it does not help improving the ability. This repetitiveness is something which could be done away with.
2. A 1:1 support channel on the platform itself instead of away from the platform would enhance the experience.
3. The Verbal question bank could be enhanced with additional RC passages.
The eGMAT course is like a one-stop shop for your GMAT preparation.
I had started my preparation in July,2023 and took the test in January,2024. That accounts for six months of preparation time. However, this also includes the phases during which I had to take breaks from the preparation due to work demands. Negating that out, eGMAT prepares you for your D-Day in around three to four months of focussed effort.
The support team at eGMAT is always in for your queries and for providing regular feedback and improvement plans throughout your journey. It is this support that keeps students motivated towards the preparation and creates a positive impact about the product as a whole.
Moreover, an improvement of more than 100 points (considering I had taken the first mock test post SC preparation) in four months, for a first time test taker, is testament to the course structure, the performance insights which help you improve and the dedication of the team towards the success of its students.
Dear sidsuvarna,
Congratulations on your score of 655 with a remarkable Q86, V82, and DI80. With this, you have become a part of the top 10 percent of the test takers! A 100-point improvement overall is a phenomenal feat to achieve.
You used the Scholaranium question bank effectively and it was because of your diligence that you improved your ability in Quant from Q76 to Q86 (40th percentile to 92nd percentile) in the GMAT exam. The below image shows your Scholaranium statistics in hard questions that predicted your ability to be more than the 90th percentile.

I loved the fact that you mentioned enjoying our PACE AI in Quant and how it helped you save time and let you focus on your weaker areas. You followed the suggestions from the PACE AI to the “T”. You saved almost 42 hours of study time, which is almost 33% of the total course duration in Quant. A glimpse of it can be seen in the image below where you saved almost 12 hours in a 29-hour Algebra course –

With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam certain. You utilized the time in hand as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and improve from every mock. The below image shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam.
