E-Gmat played an instrumental role in my GMAT journey. The structured approach to learning concepts followed by cementing quizzes in Scholaranium helped me tremendously to internalize all the concepts, especially Sentence Correction. The large Question pool in the Scholaranium with features such as customize Quiz, which allows one to choose not just a specific section but also a specific sub-topic in that section really helps to work on your weaknesses.
Apart from a beautifully created learning platform, the entire support team too is very helpful in answering all your queries and doubts. Special mention to DJ, whose advice on re-thinking my approach to solving questions was crucial in my score improvement.
Thanks Rajat, Payal and the entire E-Gmat team for a great learning experience!

Let me just start my review by thanking the creators of the course and Scholaranium .

I would like to mention beforehand that everyone's preparation method is different and mine may not resonate with others. I literally used the course for 30 days (around 10 hrs per week). Due to my personal circumstances (having a 6 months old baby and full time job) I did not have enough time to go through the official guide. My strategy was just to practice questions and learn from the solutions (only for the incorrect ones) and for that I extensively used the Scholaranium and the practice test ( I purchased the official tests as well),

For quant, when I gave the first official test, it became more or less clear that I needed to brush up the number systems and that's where I spent some time on (solving the number system questions) . Apart from that I didn't do much. I wonder if my quant score was a bit more only if I had spent more time on it. However, I made a point that every day I solved 2 questions each from different topics of quant such as geometry, algebra, numbers etc.

Verbal was the section I mostly concentrated upon (with whatever time I had). I solved almost all the questions on Scholaranium and solved it in practice test mode in order to keep time as well. My aim was to ace the sentence correction question as I thought these are the ones that can raise my score. Though , my final results say a different story. In my comprehensive test report, I realized that I aced the RC questions and my accuracy was 100% (Thanks to Scholaranium questions).

I cannot insist anymore that if one has got limited time then all they need to do is practice practice practice (obviously look at the solution of the incorrect ones)

I did not spend anytime on IRA (except while I was giving mock test). This is evident from my score of 5.
I did not spend any time on AWA (did not even practice during the mock tests) . While in the exam my sole aim was to find flaw in each line of the paragraph given and highlight it. I just followed a basic structure :
First paragraph mentioning that the argument is flawed and list down at least 3 reasons for it. Next 3 paragraphs were spent on expanding the reasons mentioned in the very first paragraph one by one. I made sure to mention that what else the author could have included to make the argument stronger. The final paragraph was just the conclusion that based on the reasons and the rationale above, it can be concluded that the argument is flawed.


Honestly, with my experience I would like to give whole credit to Scholaranium and the mock tests as they essentially helped me to get an alright score.

Hi
I have taken e-gmat course for my Verbal prep. And I have few points to share:
1. SC part is really good. Meaning based approach really worked for me.
2. CR part is very confusing and I would not like to recommend. It's very time consuming I believe.
3. RC is also fine but it depends on ones capabilities in verbal. I really liked the cementing section. But I feel if you are not good at Verbal then whether you have taken their RC course or not, it does not matter at all.

I did not get time to use their quant section much. But it is very lengthy. If someone is planning to take GMAT in a month or so then you would not be able to cover all the topics but if you are just starting with the prep of GMAT and this might work for you.

I was really impressed with what e-gmat does for the prep. Their methodology works. Hands-down the best course that's out there. It was a unique experience and it has sharpened my verbal ability by a lot. The data that these guys give in scholaranium is just next level. You just need time to work on your weaknesses and you will be set for that elusive 700+ score.

I have other friends who bought the e-gmat course. No one got less than 700. The course feels a bit slow at some point, but i believe it builds up the required basics of the language. The verbal section was so so good. Can't even describe how good it was. It was just next level. I was skeptical spending hundreds of dollars but it was so worth it as i got my 710 in the first attempt itself. If you are looking for a course, buy this blindly and then spend time on this religiously, You will not regret it.

Pros - Scholaranium to practice questions

Cons - Students may probably sleep listening to their videos for Verbal. No feature of listening to videos at 1.5x/2x plus lack of mentorship from the company. The experience was more of singing up for some AI based service.
SC may be a little average but a big big no for CR and RC.
Ideally such a well known company should have gone an extra mile to help students.
EGMAT team is quite unwilling to accept that their course was sub standard. I was wondering how a 4.9 review company can produce such a horrible course. Signing up with EGMAT is waste of both time and money.

My journey started from a score of 600 (Q48, V25). I was consistently getting 680 to 700 in my Gmat Official Mock and I was shocked when I saw a score V25 in my 1st Gmat test. Feeling disheartened, a friend of mine recommended me to join E-GMAT full online course.

Skeptical at first, I decided to enroll for E-GMAT course. It was the best decision that I had taken in my journey of GMAT. I was amazed by their videos. Even the smallest of thing(especially in the verbal section) is very well explained. In no time, I was able to figure out my flaws and able to correct them.

The pre-thinking approach taught in CR is section is undoubtedly the best and most sought after approach in answering the CR questions. I was able to answer around 80% of the CR questions correctly in each and every mock using their Pre-Thinking methodology.

FInally the Scholaranium, set of thousand of good quality GMAT questions. In my final days of preparation, All i did was solve questions from the Scholaranium. The quality of questions on the Scholaranium is by far the best that i have seen amongst all the other platforms. Each question has a well detailed explanation at the end, helping me to identify even the smallest of things that I might have otherwise looked.

Scoring 710 would not be possible without the support of E-GMAT mentors and their material. I would highly recommend anyone preparing for GMAT to enroll for E-GMAT course.

I've given my GMAT attempts and reached a plateau. Having exhausted all the official material, I needed some quality questions and explanations to cement my concepts. That's when I scheduled a call with e-gmat team. After going through my ESR, I was told how I had some conceptual gaps. Having tried multiple resources, I wanted to give this a final shot. I started off my preparation with the structured approach. I believed the whole plan that was given to me in terms of finishing SC, CR and RC and then moving to Quant. Changing my learning pattern from doing all concepts every single day to picking up one at a time, I initially hesitated. Nevertheless, I decided to believe the proven approach and finished concepts, concept quizzes, cementing quizzes and then moved to next module. This eventually built my confidence. After completing all modules, I started with the mocks. The quality of explanations there and the level of data insights  is definitely unparalleled. The Sigma-X mocks are slightly tougher than real exam but that prepares us for the grind. The tougher exam offsets the exam anxiety. I would ensure I spend more time analyzing the mock than writing the mock. In this whole process, whenever there is any doubt regarding the week plan or just to validate my own plan, I'd leave a mail to the team and they would get back within 24 hours proactively. Atreya has been there throughout the journey and also enrolled me into Last Mile program which helped me cement conceptual gaps in last minute . With all this done, I finally got my GMAT Score - 710.

Summing up, looking for an all-inclusive GMAT package that can help you prepare despite a demanding job? E-GMAT is your answer!

I studied for the GMAT for more than 3 months and gave the exam for the first time on Oct 17th, 2021. I was scoring an average of 710 in my official mocks and I simulated the experience almost perfectly. So I expected somewhere around that range.

During the exam, the verbal section was way harder than I had imagined. I remember rushing through the last 7-8 questions and ended up guessing about 3 questions towards the end. Even the quant was way harder than what the official mock prepared me for. I was devastated to see a Q47, V31.

I came back and took a few weeks off to figure out where I was going wrong. I knew all the Grammar rules, I had read the MGMAT SC book, I knew the basics of argument structures and attacking an argument. I realized I wasn't conceptually challenged but something was wrong in the process approach. I was getting my answer but it was taking too long and certain question types always threw me off.

I took a consulting call from one of the strategy consultants at e-GMAT and they pointed out that my approach needs some honing and what I could do about it (I was really impressed that they didn't even try to sell the product and focussed more on me). A few weeks later I signed up for their 2 month program. But literally the next day I had to travel for an on-site project. After I was back, I had a month to go through the material and give the test again.

Their SC module changed the way I looked at SC questions. I knew all the grammar rules and I was initially solving questions solely based on grammar. Their 3 step process for Sentence correction forced me to rewire my way of thinking about SC questions. After a few cementing quizes, my SC accuracy was higher than ever before and I was feeling very comfortable.

I didn't have the time to go over the complete CR or RC modules (I probably wish I could) but I quickly gleaned a few approach strategies from a few modules and modified the way I approached verbal questions. Eg: I started making summary notes for RC passages and I started tabulating my CR arguments and derived an answer even before looking at the answer choices.

I solidified my approach through quite a few practice quizzes and official mocks. The verbal question caliber was very high and indeed prepared me better for the real GMAT.

For quant, I kept giving the GMAT Club tests and that helped a lot! I used to spend about 30 mins analyzing each Quant mock and made notes on every single strategy I missed.

I gave the exam again just after recovering from the third wave hit. This time quant was quite seamless (I expected a Q50 but got a Q49) and I could complete the verbal section with a minute to spare.

My verbal score jumped from a V31 to a V38 and I knew what exactly had changed during that month of prep and it was the approach. Not concepts. I highly recommend everyone to spend at least a month solidifying the approach and the timing (mocks, question banks) before giving the final exam. That small step boosted my score by 60 points. I do plan on giving the exam again to get to the 740 range.

All the best for your test! Let's all nail it!
