Breaking the 700 Barrier- Thanks to e-GMAT and DJ

Improvement 50 Points

My GMAT prep journey has not been a simple journey of progress. It was a lot longer than I had expected it to be. Preparing for verbal was the biggest hurdle for me to achieve a good GMAT score.

In Sep-20, I started preparing for GMAT by solving OG questions (Yes, it was the first big mistake I made). One month after, I took e-GMAT free Sigma-X Mock test to gauge my level and scored 660. I really liked the quality of questions and the free content so decided to subscribe to their course but only purchased their verbal course instead of the entire course (the second big mistake as I didn't get any sigma mock tests with it to gauge my level before attempting GMAT). For the next 2 months, I went through the entire course and attempted most of the Scholoranium questions. Finally, took my GMAT in Jan-21 and scored 680. Disappointed with my performance, I stopped my preparation for a couple of months (the third big mistake).

In May-21, I regained my confidence and started preparing for GMAT again. Now here comes the fourth big mistake which was the biggest among all. I thought that I had already gone through the e-GMAT course so now it’s time for self-study and solving a lot of questions would help me break that 700 barrier. Following this strategy relentlessly for 4 months, I took my GMAT again in Sep-21 only to score a disheartening 660 (V29).

The very next day I emailed the e-GMAT support team and asked for help (the first right thing I did). Now comes the good part of the journey. To my surprise, we exchanged a lot of emails on weekend. DJ asked me for ESR and analyzed it for me. He shared with me a high-level plan.

Since I had already gone through the course, the plan had to be personalized for me. DJ along with verbal experts created one for me. I first went through the new MC course along with the webinars conducted by Payal, which were an eye-opener for me. Following the pausing strategy, my approach to look at complex sentences changed. This helped me in all sections- SC, CR, and RC. We then moved to SC. DJ inculcated in me the meaning-based approach and made sure that I follow it while solving questions. He asked me to look at the incorrect attempted questions, create error logs and solve correct attempted questions by following the meaning-based approach. We followed a similar plan to instill Pre-thinking approach for CR. He also asked me to do Revision-B for all sections to brush up on all concepts. After passing the cementing quizzes, DJ then introduced me to the test readiness stage. I believe this is the most important stage to break that 700 barrier. Scholaranium is a great platform to successfully complete this stage. The different types of quizzes, detailed explanations, xPert suggested strategic review process, and the level of data insights takes the experience to another level. Following the strategic review process, I attempted the Sigma-X mocks one by one. The mocks proved to be quite accurate and similar to the real GMAT exam. After these intense exercises, DJ was convinced that I am ready to take the exam. Finally, he shared with me the tasks for the week before GMAT. I took the exam and finally scored 710.

I believe that it is the real day pressure and anxiety which can affect one’s score by 10-20 points. Nonetheless, I could finally cross that 700 barrier. All thanks to DJ and the entire team for making this possible for me!

I would suggest everyone to follow a methodological approach if you’re not able to improve (instead of solving a lot of questions) and trust the e-GMAT process and diligently follow it. It may not be easy for everyone but eventually, it will lead to success. Also, do not hesitate to get in touch with the team even if the process is not working out for you. The entire team is very supportive. They will help you understand what’s going wrong and will guide you in the right direction. I wish I did not have to learn it the hard way. Do not give up. All the best!

I decided to opt for a course in mid September 2021 because I realised while solving problems that my Verbal abilities needed some significant improvement. Based on GMATClub reviews, I decided to go for e-GMAT.
Their Verbal Section(Sentence Correction modules in particular) are really good. Initially when I started out, SC was my weakest area but eventually, it became one of my strongest sections in Verbal. By following the step-by-step e-GMAT process, I could effortlessly answer some of the hard SC questions.
In CR, the process of pre-thinking and breaking down the argument into fundamentals(premises and conclusions) boosted my thought process clarity and in RC, the notes on summarising paragraphs proved out to be beneficial as well.
In Quant, the hard questions in Scholaranium really test out your concepts and if someone is able to nail those, I feel he can answer just about any GMAT quant question.
The 'Skill data' feature of Scholaranium is pretty amazing as it helped me analyse my strengths and weaknesses by quantifying by abilities across each sub-topic.
I also felt that the Sigma-X mock tests are pretty good estimators of your actual ability. It's a bit on the tougher side but better have a cushion that inflate your actual level.
Finally, I think the game changer for me was the personal guidance in the LMT programme that I received from Dhananjay(DJ). I reached out to him a bit worried, one week before the test. He organised a call with me, where we discussed the areas where I was lacking and created a tailor-made plan specifically for me to follow in the last week. That really helped me a lot as I got to work on my weaknesses and give my prep that final finishing touch.
Overall, e-GMAT turned out to be a great platform for someone like me and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Dear Student,

Getting a 730 is an accomplishment very few people can talk about, welcome to a very elite success club. Your story is particularly inspiring for 2 reasons –

Reason 1 - I love your success because it is powered by your tenacity and your willingness to act on recommendations. You were not deterred by the 680 attempts, 5 days before the test. Rather, you wanted to fix the causes. We identified that stamina issues (Quant, see screenshot) and specific weaknesses in inference questions as areas of improvement (screenshot). You fixed both issues and the rest is history (Q50, V38) :)

Stamina Issues: https://success.e-gmat.com/Quant-Stamina

Verbal Issues: https://success.e-gmat.com/Inference-Issues

Reason 2 - You improved your SC Ability from the 54th percentile to the 80th Percentile + in a matter of 2 months. Your concept and practice quiz scores (both close to 90%) show that you were destined for success right from the get-go and that you truly imbibed the meaning-based approach. We love students who are as diligent as you are.

SC Stats: https://success.e-gmat.com/SC-Scores

However, the journey is not over. I am glad that you are working with me to improve this to a 99th percentile score and I wish you all the best for this second leg!

Regards,
Dhananjay (DJ)

A long and not so smooth journey to 730

I started my rather long journey of GMAT studies in August 2020. At first, I took a course from another test prep company. In December 2020, I took my first attempt and scored 640. After that, I came across E-gmat. My friends had also recommended me this course. I scheduled a consultation call with them and I bought the Verbal and Quant package. Fast forward to November 2021, I took the test again and I scored a 730 (V41,Q49).

When I started preparing from E-GMAT, I had to unlearn some concepts, especially in Verbal, and learn some new tricks in Quants. E-GMAT course is very intensive but at the same time, it helps you have that strong concept base. What made E-GMAT stand out for me was the course structure , the practice questions , and a clear path forward.

Highlights about Verbal course :

The Verbal course is just phenomenal. It covers all the concepts that you need to know in the GMAT exam. It is structured in a very coherent manner and it is very easy to follow from one sub module to another. The course starts with the Master Comprehension course which gives us essential reading strategies which make our life so much easier !

Sentence Correction module was a very helpful module. The concepts taught as a part of this course didn't seem like rocket science, this was because the course is very student friendly and easy to follow through. Especially the Meaning based approach taught in Sentence Correction module is the only way I feel that one should approach this question type. I have honestly tried using other methods like elimination. But, from what I have observed and applied in the actual test , only the Meaning based approach works ! And it works absolutely flawlessly.

The Critical Reasoning course was an eye opener for me personally because having taken the GMAT once before , I never knew the step by step approach that one needs to follow to solve the CR questions. Before the E-GMAT course , I used to jump into the CR section without having any strategy or framework in my mind. The E-GMAT CR course teaches the very Step by Step process which is needed for getting a high accuracy on the CR questions. The Prethinking approach is the most helpful takeaway from the entire section. As it is taught in the course , we must fight the urge to jump straight into option choices before analysing the argument. I cannot emphasize enough on importance of following the step-by-step approach! It is just that great :)

The Reading Comprehension section was especially helpful for me since I was not an avid reader and had never read so many fact-heavy and inference-heavy passages in my life before. The key reading strategies, if followed to the details, will help you to reduce the reading time and at the same time will increase your comprehension ability exponentially.

To conclude, If I had realized it sooner that the methodologies and the step-by-step approach taught be E-GMAT is the only way forward, I would have cut my preparation time in half. But as it is said, better late than never! Honestly, the day I realized that if I apply the process skills taught to me during the course exactly as they have been taught to me , my time management problems disappeared and my accuracy started improving.

Highlights about the Quant 2.0 course:

This course is genuinely the only thing you need for GMAT Quant. There is absolutely no reason to refer to other sources once you have taken this course and have seriously gone through the course. The Quant 2.0 module is a module in which you can adapt the course as per your expertise. The course gives personalized feedbacks along the way, which I think was the most important part of my preparation. The GMATSkills files and Practice Files covered all the tricky ways in which the questions could be phrased.

Mid August 2021 , I was also selected for the Last Mile Program(LMP) . I was assigned a mentor to guide me through till my target score. Mr Atreya Roy was my mentor and he guided me at every step. He also provided me personalized feedback and gave me a list of actionable steps. He also analysed my mocks and provided me a video mentioning the entire analysis and the areas of improvement. He also shared detailed plan of improvement. He was my point of contact for the entire 3 months and he helped me with any queries I had during this time :) I would say LMP is a really nice initiative to help students get where they wish to be!!

Finally , I would like to say that the team of experts at E-GMAT is extremely helpful and they respond to any queries that you may have in the least time possible. Each question in E-GMAT has a separate discussion thread and most of my questions were already answered ! Even If I didn't have any query , just going through the discussions gave me so much more insights into different ways of solving the problems.

The SIGMAX mocks are really close to the actual GMAT. The quality of verbal and quant questions are very similar to the quality of questions in the actual test. The Quant questions specifically are very close in terms of concepts tested and the difficulty level. For me , the test taking experience was rather smooth because I had already taken the SIGMAX mocks and I didn't feel that the actual test was a whole different game. Overall , the feedback provided after every mock was very informative and it guided me towards the next steps.

I would say that had I taken the e-gmat course earlier , my prep time would have been reduced by more than half. This is a one stop solution for the GMAT !!

Hardwork + E_GMAT leading to improvement to 720 from 600

I had been wanting to give the GMAT since a few years and finally started my preparation post pandemic year of 2020. Like every other aspirant, I took the official guides as my source of truth and started to understand more about the exam, the sections and what are the types of questions there are.

With the initial learnings and basic ideas into the paper, I took the leap of faith to give a diagnostic test and scored a 600. This made me sure that I had to dig deeper into the concepts of both the Verbal and Quant sections if I need to have a serious chance of cracking the GMAT. That is when I started to research about various GMAT online programs that I can avail to re-run all the concepts and build expertise around the sections. With detailed research and a free counselling session by E-GMAT folks, I enrolled into E-gmat during April 2021 to now dedicatedly focus on my preparation.

What makes E-GMAT stand out?
The entire syllabus of the GMAT exam is intricately broken down in the E-GMAT platform, with each section having sequential learnings transpiring from initial concept to application and then trickling down to increased ability and expertise. Both sections for Verbal and Quant have detailed video learnings for each topic and sub-topic, along with pre and post assessment quizzes to re-impose the concept.

Enhancing these video learnings into actual problems from each difficulty was imposed perfectly by the Scholaranium 2.0 platform, which gave detailed insights into your quiz attempts as well as provides data points to identify areas of strengths and weakness. Rigorous effort put into SC, CR and Quant section from my end helped me understand my concepts better and build a solid base for my GMAT exam.

Another factor that gave me good exam practice and confidence were the Sigma X mocks, in which I transitioned from the diagnostic score of 600 to a 720 with the improved learnings and concepts learnt over a span of 2 months. The mocks are very close to the actual GMAT exam and provide you the right opportunities to apply your skills and manage time in a simulated exam-type experience. The 5 mocks given in my course helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and revise and redo concepts accordingly for my main exam.

The Last Mile Program (LMP)
With the score improvement to 720 in my mocks, I got an opportunity to work with E-GMAT Mentor team (Aditee), who looked at all the data that is present in my E-GMAT portal and guided me to have a dedicated approach to reach my target score and help ace the GMAT in the official attempt as well. Aditee introduced me to the concepts of strategically logging my errors in error-logs which massively helped me to revisit my errors and ensure that I try not repeating the same in any of my future questions!
The team also guided me improve my score from a 680 (first attempt with a CR dip) and help bring my verbal score from a V32 to V40 with guided improvements in CR to finally help me get my target score of 720.

I would strongly recommend the E-GMAT course to all students who want to focus on the detailed concepts provided by the amazing online platform and wants to practice GMAT questions across with Scholaranium and Sigma X Mocks for a complete GMAT experience. All the best!

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for being a part of the eGMAT family. Congratulations on your 720.

On reflecting back this is not just a 40-point improvement but a 120-point improvement from 600 to 720! Your journey was a roller-coaster ride. There were several highs and lows and there were 2 things that ensured this success:

Diligence – You took feedback from the system every time your score was not where we wanted it to be and improved. If the system showed that you were weak in a particular concept, you did not shy away from revising it multiple times till you understood it well. Not just that you never got complacent with good scores.

Course Diligence : https://success.e-gmat.com/CR-Course-Diligence

Belief in yourself and the course – Even when your mock score took a hit you continued to believe that you can make it to the 700 club and that e-GMAT is going to be the partner for that journey. Your course and Scholaranium data were there to reinforce that you had the potential to do well.

We wish you the best for your applications and MBA journey.

Regards,
Aditee

I gave GMAT last year in December and got a score of 660. I had gone through 4 months of self-study using manhattan books, CR bible, GMAT club Youtube videos, and GMATNinja Youtube Videos and also 1 and a half months of E-GMAT verbal course towards the end of my prep. I was targetting a score of 700+ and 660 really disappointed me and I realized I will have to try again next year and also that I should have taken the E-GMAT verbal course earlier, opposite to what I did last time.

So, I began my preparation for GMAT again in May, after taking some break. This time I contacted the E-GMAT team through the mail in the beginning and told them my whole story and what I was expecting from them and from myself. They were very active to reply to the emails. The 1 and a half month course that I had done last year made me realize how much I can improve if I gave this course sufficient time and practice as the content is really very good in there. It is so interactive and also if I wanted any help, I used to drop a mail to the support team. The mail thread had around 50 mails by the time I gave my GMAT. They helped me plan my study schedule, and the way by which I can cement the concepts as just going through the study materials is never enough. My accuracy and way of thinking or I should say Pre-Thinking significantly improved by going through the E-GMAT verbal course. There are so many questions to practice and the forum discussions for each question are a great help.

After using the course for around 5-6 months I finally got a score of 710, and I am really satisfied with this.
I would like to thank the entire team of E-GMAT for helping me throughout this process.

Before signing up for eGMAT, I tried studying for 2 weeks from a book I borrowed from a buddy. Although the book did give me a preview of the types of questions, I wasn't able to grasp the techniques mentioned and apply them. The lack of interactivity and structured feedback got to me. So, I looked for learning modules as an alternative. eGMAT was recommended to me by a friend of mine who was already an eGMAT user and had high praise for it.

The eGMAT course is very well structured and organised. I used eGMAT primarily to master SC and CR. The theory, explanation and techniques are well put forth in their numerous modules. The visual explanations complement the audio content well and help one retain what they have learned. eGMAT lays emphasis on techniques such as meaning based approach and pre-thinking assumptions which greatly help with solving SC and CR questions, respectively. The modules can be a bit tiresome but it's important to stay focused and punctually work through them to get your fundamentals right. The application files and concept practice files/quizzes embedded within the modules do a great job of summarising and reinforcing the concepts to be mastered. The RC files are useful to identify the types of questions and what the corresponding answer may look like. I did not use eGMAT to prepare for Quant or IR, so I can't comment on those sections.

The Scholaranium platform makes practice ever so convenient. While the customisability, insights and usability are all great, the quality of the content and feedback takes the cake. The questions seemed to cover good ground in terms of the concepts taught. And more importantly, the detailed explanations for the questions are based on the same framework that one would have adopted from the modules. This makes it easy to absorb the feedback. The questions can sometimes be a bit lengthy but practicing solving such questions only helps you with your timing.

The eGMAT subscription also came with 5 Sigma X mock tests. I used some of these tests primarily to assess my verbal ability and to get my timing right. As expected, a detailed analysis and feedback of your performance is available to you if you choose to do a post mortem. The mocks give you a fair (or maybe a slightly conservative) assessment of where you stand with regards to your verbal goal. However, I felt that the quant tested in the Sigma X mocks was a level higher than the quant tested in OG mocks.

Couple of areas where I think eGMAT could improve:
- Sometimes application becomes hard with time pressure. Even with a lot of practice. It would be much more useful to students if the module highlighted how to apply the taught concepts in a time crunch.
- The navigation through the online modules could be improved so students can scroll through and revise more easily.
- Summary slides could be better organised so students can use them as a base for taking notes.

Hi,

Firstly, cheers to all the fellow mates who are in process of GMAT preparations and who are about to initiate. I write this review keeping in mind all their anxieties, confusions and dilemmas that anyone can have. Believe me, even I had the same kind of situation when I first appeared for my GMAT. While I was confident about both Quants and VR, the scores turned out otherwise. This was an eyeopener and I realized that I was doing something really wrong. And that is where I actively started looking for guidance. I chose to go with eGMAT course immediately.

Things that happened with me within a week of starting the course:

1. Enlightenment: I realized why did I score that low in VR in my first attempt. I realized where exactly was I making mistakes, be it grammar, reading methods, the process of solving questions or the time management. All these realizations were due to a well designed eGMAT course structure.

2. Dilemma: Just like in every online course that we take, this course initially brought a lot of dilemma to me and I was not sure if I was going on a right track even after all the above realizations. One reason for this was also the lack of personal touch which we are usually accustomed to. In this time, the eGMAT support team helped me stay calm and they made sure I follow the process well.

Over the next 2 months of my preparations, I literally started feeling comfortable with the process and method of learning. Ultimately, I was instilled with confidence when the results started showing up in mocks and scholaranium quizzes. I saved most amount of my time in SC (literally 50%) and RC (about 40%) and that ultimately helped complete my VR section almost on time.

Best to look out for at eGMAT:
1. Meaning based approach: initially when eGMAT suggested slow and meaningful reading, I was puzzled as I was already having time issues in VR section. But trust me guys, this approach is a boon. It helped me save most amount of time. It is a skill which will come for your rescue not only for the exams but for many work years ahead.

2. Quick response to queries: maximum of my queries were answered within hours, be it on mail or on portal itself.

3. Scholaranium: Level of the practice questions, in my opinion, is quite accurate and good. The that analytics and strategic reviews give you exact opinions as to where did you go wrong. NOTE: do your strategic review wisely, it helped me the most in visiting and revisiting my methods, concepts and the time management process.

I hope this review helps well. All the best!!

Regards!

My GMAT Journey began in April 2020. Like many others, I decided to make the most of the extra time on my hands to start preparing for the GMAT.

During the course of my preparations, I got married, moved to a different state in the US and settled into a new job and all through that process, e-GMAT helped ensure that I kept plugging away at my preparation to help me reach my target score.

Nearly 19 months later after taking the Enhanced GMAT online and scoring 710 (Q: 48 V: 38) I would like to pass on my learnings to future test takers in the hope that this helps streamline their preparations and reach their target scores.

Real-Life learnings from the GMAT:
The GMAT as a test fascinated me. Unlike many of the other standardized tests out there, the GMAT is a test that actually tests skills that you would need to apply in the long run to navigate a future career in business. For Example, Sentence correction is important to understand what effective communication looks like, wherein mistakes in sentence structure could convey a meaning different that what was intended. Critical reasoning is something that one would be expected to apply daily as a business leader to make key decisions, but also in your daily life as you navigate through difficult decisions. Reading Comprehension in my humble opinion is the skill that is the least talked about and probably the most important long term skill that preparing for the GMAT gives a test taker. The ability to process information however complex to understand, in a timed environment, is absolutely key in one’s development.

My Takeaways :
Hyper personalization
I was invited by Archit Bhargava to be part of the e-GMAT LMP (Last Mile Program) program, a program where he would support me as a mentor through my GMAT journey. Archit’s timely feedback and hyper personalized study plan based on my Scholaranium 2.0 quiz scores was invaluable. Whenever I had questions and/or needed to modify my study plan to better fit my schedule, Archit replied back with a plan to make the best use of the time I had available. Over the course of 2 months, Archit either sent me videos whenever I got stuck on certain key concepts or got me to connected to other members of the e-GMAT team for their insight to help me understand specific topics better.
At this time I would also like to give a shout out to Harsha, who provided me a comprehensive analysis of my CR performance that pushed me over a plateau of where I was stuck at the 65%ile all the way upto a consistent 90%ile and Atreya, who the weekend before my official GMAT provided a review of my performance of my last mock to give me target areas to focus my last reviews on, when Archit was unavailable.

The LMP program was exactly what I needed to cross the 700 barrier and I can’t thank the e-GMAT team enough for always being there to support me through my journey.

Approach
e-GMAT provides a structured curriculum, one that focuses on process and content in equal measure with special emphasis on test readiness and simulating section wise tests from Scholaranium 2.0 to ensure that students are ready to tackle the Sigma-X mocks that are also offered on their platform.
Their 3 step process of 1) Building conceptual knowledge ( core content) 2) Cementing test taking process and 3) developing GMAT skills helped me first understand and then apply the concepts in an organized manner.
One of the things e-GMAT does very well is offer structure. You can plan exactly what you need to do every day of your prep and account for how long your preparation could potentially take based on your current score and your target score and this helped me understand the scope of the task in front of me and the daily accountability that the schedule provided helped me stay on track with my preparations.

Platform
The Scholaranium 2.0 is by far the most powerful platform that I’ve seen out there for a few reasons. Firstly, The data gathered from the quizzes I took on the platform was translated into easy-to-understand actionable feedback that helped me identify any process flaws, timing issues and/or knowledge gaps that need to be worked on.
Secondly, the ability to design custom quizzes to ensure that I could simulate a real life test environment, where I would need to keep on their feet at all times, was a game changer for me and I believe strongly that this practice is what helped push me over my plateau.
Finally, The level of questions that I saw on my official GMAT was comparable to if not slightly easier than the ones that e-GMAT offers. Now, I know there is not substitute for OG content since the GMAC spends a lot of money developing each question, but I believe what the questions on e-GMAT taught me was “how to think”. This is an underestimated skill that I have not seen many platforms talk about. The quote that comes to mind that best explains this is : “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”

Sigma X Mocks
The Sigma-X mocks were a real eye-opener. I had always perceived my Quant skills to be at a high enough level since I came from a Quant heavy engineering background. I quickly learned that although my math skills were where they needed to be, on the other hand my Quantitative reasoning was definitely not. This was a very important distinction to make and one I hope others reading this review pay attention to.
My scores on the last 3 Sigma-X mocks were 700 (Q46, V39), 710 (Q47, V40), 710 (Q49, V38) with my last 710 coming 3 days before my official GMAT on which I ended up with a 710 (Q48,V38). As you can see, the scores are highly representative of actual GMAT performances.
Going into my Official GMAT, I was confident that I had seen enough content and variations based on that content that tested in-depth understanding rather than superficial knowledge and having that peace of mind prevented me from stressing about if I knew enough and tackle each question confidently.

My study mentor: Archit Bhargava
My journey would not have been the same without Archit. He was there to answer my questions or direct me to other personnel at e-GMAT as I reached certain plateaus in my preparation. Close to the end he also gave me personal number so that the turnaround times to my questions would be quicker. Without the feedback and assistance he offered, I can confidently say that I do not think I could have broken the 700 barrier. Archit was the gamechanger I needed.

The Best Course for both Quant and Verbal

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

I became an EGMAT student in May 2021. Before doing so, I had taken the GMAT exam once and to prepare, had enrolled myself in a popular Bangalore-based coaching. While I knew about EGMAT even back then, I just couldn't believe that a completely-online portal can be as impactful as the ones that offer "live and personalized learning". Having used the EGMAT platform for almost 6 months, I can, without a doubt, say that I was wrong - not only about how good EGMAT is but also about it being just another online preparation platform.

Following are some of the differentiators for EGMAT:

1. Course Structure - Entire content is broken down into bite-sized videos. Rather than focusing on shortcuts and smart tricks, the EGMAT course helps in drilling down the concepts. You learn a topic, then practice questions with varying difficulty, and move ahead only once you are comfortable. This cycle worked really well for me as I already understood some concepts but here, I could apply them one at a time and learn step-by-step

2. Equal focus on Quant and Verbal - There are a lot of products out there that are strong in either Verbal or Quant but not both. EGMAT, on the other hand, helped me balance my preparation in both sections. I started with SC and was blown away by all the concepts and questions offered. While there isn't a lot of theory to learn in CR and RC, the pre-thinking approach certainly helped. Within quant, the course is broken down into various sub-sections within Arithment and Algebra-Geometry and the questions are presented in a way that makes it a routine to solve even harder ones within the stipulated time.

3. Scholaranium - Previously, when I used to practice, I did not have very clear insights on what am I weak in. Sure, I could know that, say, am not so strong in Verbal, or even narrow it down to Sentence Correction but the data presented in Scholaranium breaks the weaknesses down to sub-sections. I could clearly know the topic where am taking a lot of time or my accuracy is poor, and rather than focusing on the entire section, could do focused brush-up by creating custom quizzes. An extremely helpful feature is "Ask the Expert". Rather than looking up different websites where I went wrong in my approach to a question, I could ask an EGMAT expert or even better, just look at similar doubts asked by fellow students. The response rate in the former case was great and this helped in keeping the momentum up. The SigmaX mocks are very close to the actual exam and the debriefing of each question is super helpful.

4. Personalized Support - This is where EGMAT transcended from being a good to a great course, for me. I was bucketed into the Last Mile Profile and right from Day 1, my mentor Atreya Roy has been my go-to person for all queries - right from any doubts on what topic to pick up next to any confusion around whether am progressing in the right direction. Atreya was always quick to analyze my tests and mocks and suggest an improvement plan. I have actually just stuck to his suggestions throughout the journey and that has worked wonders for me. I always used to struggle with my pacing but in my actual GMAT, I almost finished Verbal on time and could solve each Quant question.

In summary: If anyone is looking for a comprehensive GMAT course, EGMAT should be your choice. Attend a couple of free webinars or take the trial and you will realize how amazing the platform is. I thank my mentor Atreya and the entire EGMAT team for their support :)

Hi Manas,

Congratulations on your score and thank you for your kind words.

We had a great journey together! When I looked at your account, I concluded that it is one of the most diligent journeys I have witnessed. Here is why:

1. Your accuracies were phenomenal: 70% accuracy in hard questions (Screenshot 1) indicates high potential for success.

2. Consistent scores in Test Readiness Quizzes: You took more than 5 TR quizzes while maintaining 75% accuracy or higher in each one (Screenshot 2).

3. Responsive and receptive: In our 10+ email interactions, you were always responsive and receptive to my recommendations, even when they meant additional work for you.

My journey of a 710 Q48 V40 on the GMAT was slightly longer than I had expected to be. I started preparing for GMAT in February 2021 with the hopes of getting a decent score that would put me in a competitive range. Initially, my preparation was largely self-driven, and I relied on my notes from early years. However, I quickly realised that Quant on the GMAT is not that straight forward, and enough time has passed since I graduated college that I have become rusty and will need help.

I evaluated a lot of programs GMAT preparation and ended up choosing e-GMAT. There were multiple things I immediately loved about the e-GMAT portal, especially the adaptive nature of the modules and how it helps you understand what your strengths and weaknesses are on specific sections of Quant and Verbal. SigmaX mocks are also helpful in gauging you preparation levels and help in general prepare for the D-day!

I really want to call out the help I received from my guide on e-GMAT, Atreya (Atreya Roy, if you are wondering what his full name is!). Gem of a person and one hell of a GMAT support! He played a pivotal role in me getting a 710 on the GMAT - from initially guiding me on how I should plan my overall preparation (with hyper-specific plans) to helping me daily whenever needed in fine tuning my preparation to helping plan a final 7 days schedule before my exam. He was always there and was always available for help. I remember him replying to my texts at 1 AM in the night and getting on calls whenever I had a clarification. I sincerely believe that he played a very big role in me getting the score of 710 and I genuinely cannot thank him enough for this help and support. While I would recommend e-GMAT to anyone looking for good quality GMAT coaching, I would very highly recommend you ask for Atreya by name in case you do end up choosing e-GMAT.
