My journey to 725 on GMAT FE in under 2 months

Strengths:

Unparalleled Verbal Prep: The Verbal section on E-GMAT is simply the best. The frameworks taught—especially for CR and RC—are intuitive and easy to internalize. Even though some practice questions are more difficult than actual test, the conceptual clarity and logical thinking you build are unmatched.

P.A.C.E. in Quant: This feature is a game-changer for managing time. It helps you focus on your weak areas and ensures efficient study sessions.

Would make the product better:

For some practice questions, the answer explanations could be more detailed, especially when dealing with trickier logic or alternate solution paths. This would help learners fully understand the reasoning behind the right (and wrong) options.

The estimated course durations are optimistic. Expect to spend about 1.2x to 1.5x the suggested time for realistic pacing.

My journey:

This was my first attempt at the GMAT, and I prepared for around two months. I started my prep with a 635 on the mba.com mock test. After spending about two weeks studying with free resources, I enrolled in the E-GMAT course. My diagnostic test again resulted in a 635, and based on that, e-GMAT crafted a Personalized Study Plan (PSP) that helped me rebuild my fundamentals—especially in Verbal. The course gave me the tools to approach every question type logically and with confidence.

Quant, on the other hand, tested my endurance early on. It was tougher than the actual GMAT, but that challenge worked in my favor. I began with a Q89 on the diagnostic test, but the rigorous practice questions and sectional mocks humbled me and pushed me to refine my quant skills further. This effort paid off with a perfect Q90 on the actual test.

Another breakthrough for me was in DI section. I learned to manage my time effectively, ensuring I didn’t miss easy questions, and made smart use of the review and edit feature to revisit up to three questions per section. This strategy helped me stay calm, composed, and confident throughout the test.

Verbal was my toughest section—especially Critical Reasoning (CR), where I struggled with harder questions during prep. The actual test, however, felt slightly easier, and all the grind paid off with a V86 on test day.

Overall, my prep journey with E-GMAT was deeply rewarding. The platform is thoughtfully structured, and the team support is excellent. For anyone currently using E-GMAT, I highly recommend making full use of the Coach Connect sessions and mentor support—they can make a real difference.

My Takeaways:
1. Follow a structured approach: Don’t waste time on scattered free resources — start early with E-GMAT or any professional tutor and trust the process; a structured plan always pays off
2. Trust the process: Build faith in e-GMAT’s structured approach, own it, and stick to it—especially on test day
3. Be consistent: Practice regularly and challenge yourself with difficult problems to build endurance
4. Manage your time wisely: Learn to move on—spending too long on a single question rarely helps
5. Allocate extra time: Plan for about 1.2x the estimated study duration in your study plan (PSP)
6. Expect tough practice: The harder drills will make the actual GMAT feel easier
