Strengths:

The approaches to all sections and topics are very effective in creating strong foundations. the three step process along with Xpert review and Sigma Mocks help you in understanding your performance and boosting it without any hassle.

Would make the product better:

The instructions on how to use the course can be clearer. a seprate onboarding should be there to ensure the students joining understand how to use the platform.

I scored 730 on my first attempt. It was E-GMAT who helped me in reaching my goals. I started my journey in September by buying my E-GMAT Course 360 for 4 months. Initially I could not dedicate much time to my preparations but in the later months I committed at least 10 hours a week. Being a medical intern in a government college, it was not easy to find time and analyze how to study. E-GMAT helped me a lot by preparing a personalized study plan for me. I started my journey with 620 on my sigma x mock. I set my targets and E-GMAT helped me create a dedicated timeline to create a timetable effectively dicing my time in required areas.
The quant section was beautifully divided and broken down into topics and sub topics. The initial diagnostic quizzes in each topic helped me save a lot of time by segregating topics I was weak at needed to study vs topics I was good at. These modules, followed by practice quizzes, helped me create strong concepts. The framework for various topics and approach to the questions has been effectively covered by E-GMAT course.
The verbal section had ample of application files and quizzes to help me understand the process to approach a question and help me arrive at correct solutions. Pre-Thinking, Meaning Based Analysis, Frameworks, among other tools, were strong weapons in my arsenal which helped me conquer my verbal fear.
The strategy of dividing the preparation in three stages to effectively create concepts, cement them and then achieve accuracy was the best part about the course. This strategy helped me create a strong foundation which enabled me to score 730 on the first attempt.
I improved especially in the verbal section, from scoring V26 to V39. The Xpert analysis of quizzes and the Sigma Mock was very insightful in helping me understand my weakness and improve my score. But the guidance from the E-GMAT mentors, especially Dhruv, helped me a lot during my preparation, without whom, I would have never reached my goal.
I highly recommend the E-GMAT course. It is very useful, whether you are starting the preparation from zero, or are looking for a score improvement. On starting, kindly go through all instructions on how to best effectively use the course and follow their instructions, even if you feel that you don’t need them. It is their experience which has enabled them in creating this course, and I have realized my dream of scoring 720+ (110 points improvement from initial score of 620) with them.

Hi RaghavGSK  

Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 730 score in the very first attempt!  

A giant 110-score improvement is truly a journey to be proud of!!

You began your GMAT journey by putting in diligent efforts toward building a strong foundation. This enabled you to internalize the meaning-based approach (SC) and the pre-thinking approach (CR). This combination translated into a gargantuan 13-point Verbal improvement from V26 (41st Percentile) to V39 (88th Percentile). Here is an image that shows your SC improvement using the Meaning based approach

In GMAT prep, time is one of the most valuable resources. You successfully saved yourself 30+hours using the P.A.C.E enabled Quant course on our portal. In Number Properties alone you saved around 5.5 hours of preparation time.
