I chose E-gmat following the recommendation of a friend who had a good experience using it. The modules the emphasized process skills helped cement best practices to approach tough problems efficiently and effectively. It helped me approach each question strategically and watch out for the tricks that the gmat uses to trip up test takers. Because I only had a month and a half before my test, PACE optimized my study time and allowed me to focus on my weakest topics within the limited time I had. Rashmi was also a great help in reviewing my progress throughout, analyzing my performance in mocks and strategized which topics to prioritize in order to achieve my target score.

I started using E-GMAT at the end of March and scored 675 on my GMAT in mid-May with just 1.5 months of prep. The course is incredibly comprehensive and allows you to move at your own pace—speeding through your strengths and focusing on weaker areas. The test platform is excellent and highly customizable. I found the Sigma-X mocks very close to the actual exam, which boosted my confidence. The 1:1 coaching was great. It helping me stay on track with a clear plan. The resources have high quality and there are enough practise questions for every area that is tested in the exam. I would recommend E-GMAT to anyone preparing for the GMAT.

Strengths:

- Good set of questions
- Scholaranium for creating quizzes as per requirement and weak areas
- Helped with DI (sets are good)
- Sectional and Full Mock tests
- Access to GMATClub Test series

Would make the product better:

- Doesn't have notes for all videos (still in making)
- Error log not useful at all if there is gap between your GMAT exam and last day of e-GMAT subscription as you can not see questions afterwards (logical from company end, but doesn't help students)
- Question bank can be increased (limited number of medium and hard questions for each topic)
- Verbal didn't help much in my case
- Extended financial help for people with constraints (no budging from existing discounts)

Was dicey about getting e-GMAT subscription as I had read both good and bad experiences on GMATClub as well as on Reddit but Chose to go on with my intuition.

Verbal:
The Course and questions bank was good. Pre-Thinking the conclusions/assumptions was a helpful technique in some scenarios once the efficiency improved.

In some of the questions, the pre-thinking (and answers) of many students were different from the person who created the questions, but that's how English is (depends on the person's mindset)

Quant:
Helped in conceptual building (was my strong area anyways). the PACE system helped in skipping topics which reduced the overall time to complete Quant as well. Some logics and techniques were taught directly via questions in scholarinium (which can affect morale of some).

DI:
Sets were ample, Data Sufficiency question bank really helped in getting better scores.

LMP:
I was offered the Last Mile Program. Weekly checks and support from Rida Shafeek helped in finding grey areas.

Strengths:

1) The mentorship team is very good and punctual. All the weekly meetings happened on time and there was pro-activeness to help the students(always the case).
2) The Quant material is extremely good. They will start from very basics and the focus is on building the basics so that you can tackle complex problems as well.
3) The medium and Hard cementing quizzes and separate template for error logs is extremely useful. This one error log can save you a lot of time and energy in the entire prep if utilized pro-actively.
4) A lot of sectional and full length tests are there to test yourself completely.
5) I found the DI material to be good as well.
6) The mentorship team is extremely helpful. I particularly worked with Rida and she was extremely helpful and always accessible in creating the time table plans, strategizing and sharing resources.

Would make the product better:

1) In Probability and combinations, few more examples can be used to explain whether repetition is there or not and few more areas can be touched in P&C.
2) In Co-ordinate geometry, I feel there could be some additions to the material

The e-gmat course helped me a lot in improving my weak areas or say the basics which were missing in quant. In quant, they will start from very basics and the focus is on building the knowledge so that you can tackle complex problems as well. They have a lot of resources for mocks(sectional and full length) and lot of cementing quizzes as well. The mentorship team is super helpful and always accessible. I was super happy working with my mentor. She helped me navigate a lot of difficult areas in quant and shared notes, resources and weekly plans in advance. I learned a lot in Quant and DI from e-gmat platform

Preparing for GMAT can be frustrating but what makes it even more frustrating is the decision to select a course provider given numerous options in the market. E-GMAT stands out in this list of options for a variety of reasons. One of the best features I found on GMAT is the cementing mechanism which helps one drill the concepts learnt while applying them to actual questions for each topic which can be specifically beneficial if you already have foundations built and are looking to improve your score. Also the sectional tests and the actual mocks on e-gmat resonate with the actual test you will face on your exam date. Another important feature is that for each quiz or test you take you can customize it with difficulty levels of questions you want to attempt. This helps you build consistency by attempting a particular difficulty level which is crucial for securing a high score.
I used the e-gmat product for only 20 days during my journey to improve my score by 60 points to a 695 in focus edition. The last mile push program was pivotal in helping me identify my weaknesses and fill crucial skill gaps required for a high score.

Strengths:

The software of the product is really good. the question timer, interface and analytics are good

Would make the product better:

some parts of the course not self paced. they run at 1x speed only which can be boring and frustrating sometime.

course is good to build the basic foundation as well as for understanding difficult questions. some parts of the course not self paced. they run at 1x speed only which can be boring and frustrating sometime. the English teacher speaks a little slowly which makes it more difficult to complete the English part. some explanations are good, other are very confusing. The software of the product is really good. the question timer, interface and analytics are good. it's difficult to complete course in two months so all should take a buffer of 4 months at least. the full length tests are realistic and the interface and everything is same as real gmat

Strengths:

The verbal prep is unparalled.
P.A.C.E. is a handy feature to save time.
On-demand experts' assistance is as advertised.

Would make the product better:

I feel the quant section needs to be re-evaluated.
The estimated course durations are not accurate.
The study plan set for me was far from realistic.

First and foremost, I would like to say that E-GMAT is by far the best platform I have used to learn and solidify concepts. This was especially helpful in the verbal section where I knew I struggled with the concepts and was in search of a guided framework which I developed through the duration of the course.
A little bit of background, I have, before this attempt, previously taken the GMAT classic, around a year before, in which I scored a 690 (classic). So when I took the free mock test on E-GMAT and got a 565, I knew a part of that was due to my rustiness with recalling the tricks of the trade and pacing.
I was looking to push my score beyond the 700 (classic) mark and was looking for the right platform to help me with this. From my past experience, TTP was too cumbersome and the OG question bank was too surface-level. Having seen some reviews and talking in person to the E-GMAT team, I was sold on the merits of the course.
On signing up, I was helped with setting up a personalized study plan (PSP), and here lies the first area of consideration. Ideally, I would have set my target at a 655 (maybe 20 points higher at a 675 at most), but I was ushered to push for a 695, and that's how the PSP was set. I know this isn't a bad thing, but given the fact that I was only 2 months away from my exam, I felt this was more than I should have committed to.
To begin with, the verbal course is excellent. Hands-down the best for CR and RC you will find on the internet today. There are certain instances where the practice questions don't really match the GMAT style, but I feel E-GMAT is the closest of all the others. Now, during the exam, I did get a lot more assumption-type of questions which I think was less of a direct focus in the verbal modules, but the framework that is ingrained takes care of all question types—so 100% recommended for verbal prep.
Now, the prep is longer than it is listed and I kept falling behind on my study plan. By the time I reached the quant section, I was already panicking because I spent 50% of my prep time just on verbal. The real problem however is that the quant section was not at all like the actual GMAT. It is way more difficult than it should be, and maybe this is intentional, but for me, I was not able to get through the course. After doing a few modules, I stopped using E-GMAT altogether and instead signed up for GMATCLUB question bank and focus tests. Do understand this my personal experience. If I had more time, I would probably have been able to get through the quant course and maybe score even higher.
I spent the last 20 days of my prep just doing practice tests and quant questions from GMATCLUB. Sometimes I would do a verbal test on E-GMAT. I also didn't do any DI prep apart from practice tests. My practice tests ranged 635-655 and I was happy with that and my actual score being a 695 was just the cherry on top (tip: take 2-3 days off before the actual exam).
Overall, I highly recommend E-GMAT for your preparation, BUT keep these points in mind:
1. Allocate more time than the study plan's estimate (pace yourself by 1.5X).
2. Quant course will really test you, so be ready for that (actual GMAT was a breeze compared to the prep).
3. Diversify your prep between a few sources as no one gets it a 100% right, but together (E-GMAT + GMATCLUB + OG) you are going to end up covering 99% of what will be there in the actual test.
