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!

After taking GMAT for the first time in December2022, I was a bit disappointed at not meeting my target score. The first short at GMAT was given after 4 months of preparation. Since my applications deadline was nearing, I had to give the next exam within a month's time. My key concern was that I didn't know where my strengths and weaknesses lie. I was in need of an expert guidance.

I started browsing in internet and found out about E-gmat. I sent and email to them and Manas (an e-gmat mentor) got in touch with me immediately. As instructed by him, I took a mock exam available in the e-gmat course. The diagnosis he gave post my attempt was an eye opener. The main attraction was the analytics. It gave me clear idea on topics I was lagging behind. Then and there I decided to take the E-gmat course

The biggest advantage of E-gmat is that it is really comprehensive. They don't leave you with half hearted answer. There was logic behind every explanation. Even with topics like idioms (Which I had thought clearly favoured the native speakers), there was proper explanation. Each module is followed by quizzes which help you in cementing the topics that you learn

Quant too was pretty comprehensive. One of the main problems I had faced was lack of time for preparation. The PACE application in E-gmat helped me in tackling this issue. With PACE, I was able to skip those modules which i was confident about . This helped in saving a lot of time

The final booster was the Last mile push programme. I was mentored by DJ, who helped me with the guidance on what to do after each step. Thanks to his expert diagnosis, I was able to realize which areas I was lagging behind, which helped in improving my score.

I would suggest E-gmat to anyone who is interested in taking GMAT. With it's comprehensive modules and in depth analytical data, one would be able to do well in the exams hands down

While I did use this product, and my scores did improve, I do not attribute much of the improvement to the product. Had I used this product when I first started my prep, I would have liked this better. But for an improvement like mine (V34 -V 40) I would instead suggest solving a whole of past years official questions and maintaining a proper error log and redoing the questions you get wrong. And this question bank is available for free on GMATClub.
Good product for people who are new to GMAT, but not for people who have a solid base already.

I was suggested the verbal online course by a friend who used it a few years ago. The verbal section is very elaborate. It covers everything from basics and prepares you to tackle the difficult SC questions. I improved significantly and learned to tackle the SC questions with a structured approach, saving precious time.
The CR section also introduces you to the different types of questions you may find GMAT and gives you enough practice to learn. The RC section could have some more difficult questions. I found the RC of GMAT to be more difficult than what I solved in RC practice questions.

I bought the quant course only to practice questions and did not go through the whole course as it covered maths basics and I didn't need it, but it is great for someone who does not have a Maths background.

I really liked the Scholarnium with clear classifications of questions by difficulty level. The analysis after you give a test is very helpful to understand where you can improve.

The mock tests were good but I didn't find them very close to the real GMAT. It is good for practice but please do not take the scores seriously, as the marking scheme is very different from what GMAT has. But it does teach you time management and gives you a glimpse of what to expect in real GMAT.

Overall I recommend this to every GMAT enthusiast, especially its verbal course.

I started with a score of 680(Q49V34) in my official practice test in September. I had planned to prepare for two months. Since I prefer learning through a structured course, I searched online and came across e-gmat. I liked the structure and content and signed up for it. What I enjoyed the most about e-gmat was Payal's video lectures. I really appreciate the time and dedication she and the team have put into providing such excellent explanations. The concepts are very well explained, and I felt great re-learning some of them. It didn't translate to an increase in my quant score, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning things like probability which I was previously nervous about. The tabular approach for distance and rate related problems helped me become more confident tackling these problems. In Verbal section, Pre-thinking for CR questions was very helpful. Their approach for solving bold-faced questions was super useful and I started to enjoy solving them.

The biggest mistake I made during my preparation was trying to complete reviewing all the concept videos before taking up mock tests. If I were to do it again, I would have simultaneously taken mock tests every weekend while going through the concept videos and also not try to complete all the videos in a short sitting.

Because I hadn't practiced enough, I was super nervous for my first attempt. I hadn't developed my time management skills either. I ended up exceeding my break time between Quant and Verbal by 4 minutes. That along with my lack of sleep and anxiety contributed to a super low score, much lower than my first practice test. I had to cancel immediately.

I planned to prepare better for my next attempt. I realized that it wasn't that I wasn't good enough to get a good score. It was that my approach was not right. I reached out to the e-gmat support team and decided to follow their advice promptly. Atreya first responded and suggested taking the practice quizzes and completing the cementing stage. When I reached out again a couple of days before my test, DJ responded with helpful suggestions. The guidance provided by the e-gmat team was also very helpful in taking the required quizzes which prepped me better and helped reduce my test-day anxiety. I was able to get a score of 740 (Q49V42) in December.

One thing which I felt could be improved in the e-gmat course was providing an overview of what the Sentence Correction is testing us on and what the different kinds of errors are. I could have missed this as I went through all the videos and concepts of this section without really understanding the application of them. I really struggled with SC and it was only after going through Gmat Ninja's YouTube videos that I was able to grasp the bigger picture better. After that, the Scholaranuim quizzes certainly helped cement the concepts.

Overall e-gmat has great content, practice quizzes, and support available. I would definitely recommend it. For others who are reading this, I would say please plan to leverage all their resources, reach out to their support team early, take as many practice quizzes regularly even if you don't feel ready, and continually iterate on your approach, see what is working and what isn't.

Before I started my preparations with E-Gmat in May-21, I had already appeared for GMAT once in Jan-2019. It was my first attempt and I had performed poorly in that exam. That day i got to know that the rules are not enough to clear the GMAT. I took a break from GMAT and then decided to seriously prepare for it in Feb-2021. I thought of doing the OG and questions from GMAT Club. I majorly focused on Sentence Correction ,and the questions from OG and GMAT club did seem to improve my ability on SC. Since my performance in CR and RC was not upto mark, I decided to take some expert help. I got to know about E-GMAT from a friend of mine and decided to contact them. They asked me to write one sample test before suggesting anything. I was shocked to see that even after two years my score had not improved. I decided to go with E-GMAT complete package.
I took my first test(post E-Gmat subscription) on Sep-2 and scored a 680 with V-37 and Q-46. I was quite shocked by the quant score. Though it was an improvement, the score was way below my expectations
. I decided to reappear for the exam in November and started by focusing on Quant more. I finished almost all of the E-Gmat's quant questions. I gave the Online-GMAT but was let down by the glitches in the online software. Thanks to my proctor, GMAC refunded my money and I rescheduled my test for Dec-16. On the day of exam, I was not worried about the exam. I finished my sections well within time and was surprised to see a 730 at the end of the test. E-GMAT's course trained me to an extent that I eventually scored a great score after much hard-work.


Verbal

SC- The SC section is one of the highlights of E-GMAT. I would definitely recommend E-GMAT specially for this section. The questions test your understanding not just the grammar rules. The Modifier section has been covered in detail.

CR- The CR section, though not as strong as the SC section, trains you on how to logically solve the GMAT questions. By the time I was done with the CR section, I was able to solve most of the questions.

RC- The best thing about RC section is that it trains the mind to identify the trap answers. Once you are trained enough, you"ll be able to achieve 80+% accuracy on RC.

Quant-
E-GMAT's Quant is good to build on the basics and practice on some tough questions. The questions aren't exactly GMAT style , but the course clears the concepts to a level that it becomes easy to solve the GMAT type questions.

The Scholaranium 2.0 and Sigma Mocks provide a range of questions to practice from and train yourself for the real test.

I would recommend E-GMAT to people who want to have a solid foundation on all the concepts-Verbal and Quant.

After a thorough research and speaking to a lot of friends I decided to go with the E-GMAT course for my GMAT prep. And I was not disappointed.
The two things that stood out for me were the comprehensiveness of the course and the amazing mentorship of DJ (who I can’t thank enough). Though initially was lazy to go through every module and skipped through some, DJ made me realise that there is no substitute for diligence. I would highly recommend spending a little more building the foundation, it goes along way.

The Sentence Correct course is the bible. It comprehensively covers all the concepts. Pre-thinking is not only absolute mantra to crack CR but it also helps in RC. Going through E-GMAT CR Module engrains the pre thinking in a manner that it becomes a second nature.

Sincere thanks to DJ and the E-GMAT team!

I took the GMAT on self study on the end of September and got 710. I was looking for a prep material that could help me get the additional 20-30 i needed and found Egmat pretty well structured and advanced.

The overall material is good, with nice explanations and exercises. However, i think the material is good to help you arrive to the 700 milestone. Still, it is not sufficient if you plan to score a higher score like top 5 % as it lacks the tips and tricks to do that. Some of these tricks, especially in Quant, were included in the Gmat club forums but not in the preparation material. Moreover, the Verbal section might be a little bit biased as my real verbal score was below all the mocks i took.

Overall, good for preparing if you are new to Gmat.

I scored a 640 twice on the GMAT and was completely lost after my second 640 not knowing what to do and how to improve from there and what I can do to get a better score.

Quant: I have always been strong in Quant and got a Q50 in most of my practice tests, but ended up scoring only Q47 and Q48 in the actual test. E-Gmat really helped bridge those gaps in a few concepts that stopped me from scoring a Q50. Each practice test and session was followed by a thorough review and a "going back to the basic concepts" kind of approach which really helped hone my quant skills to secure a Q50.

Verbal: The Verbal course was also really thorough. I almost had to start from scratch and redefine my whole approach in CR and RC and E-Gmat helped do this.

The biggest help in E-Gmat was the question bank and the explanations. Each question had a clear solution with details of how to approach a question. But for the few questions where the explanations weren't understandable or thorough, I could just send an email to the team and they would get back within 24 hours.

Lastly, I cannot finish my review without mentioning the mentoring that Aditee Biyani provided. She was always very encouraging and pushed me in the right direction to get to this score.
I'll always be thankful to E-Gmat.

Final words:
I cannot help but mention the fact that I did feel lonely in this journey many times and lost motivation to study. GMAT is a journey and you can only choose your vehicle but you have to do the driving. Looking back on my journey now, I cannot help but wish I drove harder and pushed above that 740+ score.

Although I am an Engineer I had lost touch with Mathematics. Things haven't been that simple with verbal either. E-gmat's tailor made Quant 2.0 helped solidify my basics and also helped boost my confidence which in turn helped me with my overall exam.
Although I scored lower (quant) that what I score in my mocks (47-49), it still helped build my confidence. More than anything, GMAT is actually a test of confidence and patience.
The scholorarium helped immensely with Verbal. Especially with CR and RC. E-gmat's live sessions especially went a long way in terms of catching up on things and revising with the needful.
With a 10 hour work E-gmat helped me a lot by giving my preparation a structure and achievable targets on a daily basis.

Although 710 does not sound like an exceptional score, it does sound so to me. I scored 580 and 590 on my first two attempts but managed to score a 710 a month later with Q46 and V41. Some might think that I should have given one more attempt with the hope of an improved quant score, but trust me when I say this - I am ecstatic with a 710.

E-gmat's structured approach coupled with the continuous improvements they keep introducing in the platform really helped me reach my goal. If anyone else out there echos my words, then you now know where to look!
