Strengths:
1. Personalized PACE of course
2. Meaning based approach for SC (Extremely good)
3. Great error log and analysis tool
4. Rich forum for QA discussions on every question
5. Strategies to figure out and tackle CR question type
Would make the product better:
1. The quality of type of questions in Quant mock tests can be improved to make it closer to official GMAT questions.
I started my GMAT journey with no background and tried to navigate on my own. After a couple months of preparing from different websites in a very unstructured way, I scored 650. To improve my score, one of my seniors suggested me e-GMAT. I took a free lesson of Sentence correction and it was an eye opener to me. I trusted e-GMAT as the single source of prep (along with GMAT official mocks) and scored 740 (target score I submitted during e-GMAT registration). I would strongly recommend this course for every GMAT aspirant (irrespective of his/her journey stage) for below reasons:
1. PACE methodology : I had 3 months for my next attempt and I wanted to make sure that I focus only on my weak parts and PACE helped me A LOT. It helped me skip the contents where I had a good command by testing me on various difficulty levels and helped to give more time where needed.
2. Verbal content : The content of Verbal course, especially SC and CR, is really good. I was able to figure out my right weakness using error analysis sheets and made sure I never repeat those mistakes. Once I did this, I could see a huge difference in the e-GMAT sectional tests which replicated in e-GMAT and official mocks
3. Forum Discussions : I learnt a lot through the discussions forum of every questions. It increased my capacity to look questions from a different perspective or other possible ways which I could have taken and probably would have marked the incorrect answer. This helped me a lot in the negation approach of tackling a question.
4. In depth videos and cementing : Last but not the least, the videos on every topic is very relevant and cover crucial topics in depth with an interesting pedagogy. The concept of cementing really helped me in assessing my understanding and work on my weaknesses accordingly.
Dear Teddy777,
Congratulations on a 60-point improvement to a 740! Thank you for posting the review! I am happy that e-GMAT could help you ace the GMAT.
It is commendable that early into your preparation, you were able to identify the need for a structured approach and took the necessary steps toward this including testing out the trial version before finalizing the course.
I am impressed by how you leveraged the PACE time-saving feature to selectively address just your weak areas in quant. I can see that through this approach, you were able to save over 16 hours in your quant study. In Algebra alone you were able to save over 10 hours as seen in this image:

The effectiveness of this study plan is demonstrated in how this helped you excel in the quizzes during cementing, helped you score a Q50 in the final test:

In verbal, you followed a similar structured and strategic approach to identify and fix your weaknesses. It is good to know that the error log helped you internalize the meaning-based approach in SC. See how this helped you improve to an 86% accuracy in SC while reducing the overall time to 1:30 min:

The course is as good as the student who uses it. I am glad that you used all the resources on the platform including the internal forums, the error logs, and the process of cementing to reach the 97th percentile in the GMAT.
I am so glad that your efforts paid off, and I am sure you are going to excel at everything that you set upon in the future.
Wishing you all the very best,
Best regards,
