Background:
Before joining e-GMAT, I tried T.O.P One Percent because they claimed to be the best and boasted about students getting top scores every day. Sadly, they didn't teach me anything, and it felt like a waste of time and money. I even doubted their honesty. After two and a half months of learning nothing from them, I took my first GMAT test and got a 680, all on my own. I realized I needed help to do better, so I looked for something different.
Why e-GMAT?
I needed a flexible way to learn because I had a busy schedule like many of you. e-GMAT offered that flexibility. I could study at my own pace and choose when to take the exam, whether in 15 days or a month.
About e-GMAT:
What's great about e-GMAT is that they focus on helping you build your skills. They understand that the GMAT tests your abilities, so they prepare you accordingly.
e-GMAT's course covers master comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, and reading comprehension. In master comprehension, they teach you how to read effectively during the exam, which is very helpful, especially for non-native speakers. Their pre-thinking and meaning-based approaches are awesome. With critical reasoning, where answer choices are very close, pre-thinking is essential.
The course gives enough time for each section, and e-GMAT provides useful tools like Scholarnium to track your progress and Sigma X mocks that resemble real GMAT tests.
Strategy Experts:
One of the best things about e-GMAT is the support of experienced GMAT experts like Rashmi Ma'am. She helped me a lot by analyzing my quizzes and providing videos from GMAT experts like Harsha Sir when I needed them.
LMP (Last Mile Prep):
The LMP program teaches you about the GMAT algorithm, time management, and how to be ready for the test.
In short, if you're preparing for the GMAT, I highly recommend e-GMAT. Their flexible program, expert guidance, and useful tools will help you succeed.

I started my GMAT journey with a focus on mastering the fundamental concepts, rather than relying on shortcuts or tricks. Based on recommendations from friends, I subscribed to eGMAT on March 23, 2023, took a mock exam in which I scored 640 and began my dedicated studies.
I Started with the Verbal section, following the structured approach outlined in the course. For Critical Reasoning, I found that pre-thinking and strong elimination strategies worked exceptionally well, making this section my best. Sentence Correction was a challenge for me as English wasn't my strong suit. I delved into the basics, learning all the rules and then shifted my focus to a meaning-based approach. Over time, I discovered that dedicating significant time to understanding the question's meaning increased my accuracy from 40% to around 80%.
Reading Comprehension posed difficulties due to the language and passage volume, but I adopted a dedicated approach. I read passages wholeheartedly, which, though time-consuming initially, eventually enabled me to connect with the content. This connection made reading even long passages easier. Combining this approach with elimination strategies increased my accuracy from 50% to around 80%.
Parallely, I revisited the Quant module, covering concepts and solving quizzes. After completing the module, I took Sigma mocks, consistently scoring around 740 in the remaining five mocks. Based on these scores, I booked the exam appointment GMAT for July 21, 2023, and began revising through eGMAT's recommended Last Mile program.
However, my test day turned into a disappointment as I scored 670 (Q49, V31). It was a huge learning, highlighting the importance of test-taking strategy and time management. My time management was abysmal; I completed the verbal section in just 45 minutes. Exam stress didn’t let me follow my practiced approach.
Afterward, I consulted with Dhruv, my mentor from eGMAT, who emphasized the need to simulate the exam environment. I promptly scheduled a second appointment for August 22, 2023. I focused less on syllabus content and more on practicing my approach with mocks and official questions. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the best health on the second exam day, waking up with a headache. I decided to switch the order, taking the quant section first. By the time I reached the verbal section, my headache had disappeared, and I felt much better. During the verbal section, I stuck to the strategies I had learned, particularly the meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction and Elimination framework for RC and CR.
IR and AWA were not my top priorities, so I gave them my best without excessive worry. Upon completing the exam, my score flashed on the screen: 720 (Q49, V40). I wanted to jump out of my chair, but I controlled myself as other candidates were still taking their exams. This experience taught me the value of preparation for the test-taking environment and the importance of adhering to my well-practiced approach.

Strengths:

- First thing that stood out for me was the weekly plan that e-gmat provides once you enter your target score. This really gives one a good picture of the time needed per week to cover all the concepts.
- The course material is very strong. They focus on approaches and techniques to really solve GMAT questions well. Payal does a wonderful job explaining the concepts.
The question bank that e-gmat has is very strong. It is highly representative of the official GMAT questions and in some cases is also harder which makes students well prepared/
- The portal is easy to use and the analytics provided is very helpful. The Sigma X Mocks are very insightful and very similar to the official GMAT (better than the official mocks which are generally slightly on the easier end)

Would make the product better:

None at this point. It is one of the most comprehensive products available for preparing for GMAT.

I had already given the GMAT once on Jul 11, 2023. I got only a 700. Although, I touched the 700 mark i felt my skills were lacking especially in Verbal. Many questions in the exam went over my head and I was not having a strong approach to solving RC and CR questions. As soon as my exam got done, I knew I have to retake it. I googled and came across e-gmat.
I chose e-gmat because 1) It had its own question bank which I desperately needed since I had pretty much exhausted the OG questions during my first prep and 2) it provided me with a week by week plan on how to tackle learning the concepts.

I immediately enrolled and within 1-2 days got a study plan from one of the assigned mentors. I started and found the Verbal modules very good for SC and CR. The meaning-based approach in SC was quite eye-opening and sub-consciously strengthened my concepts that I ended up getting 98th percentile in SC n my second official attempt. I also had a significant improvement in CR. The pre-thinking approach was very helpful in breaking down complex CR arguments. Earlier, I was always confused between two options, but pre-thinking hugely improved my accuracy. These are the areas I primarily needed improvement and the course material really strengthened my concepts.

Once I was good with the concepts, the in-module quizzes and the cementing quizzes really helped me to become test ready. I actually found the Hard cementing quizzes harder than some 700 level GMAT questions. Initially, this did appear daunting especially for Quant but when you start solving such high quality questions, you are really well prepped for any tough question the official GMAT throws at you.

Once the necessary prep was done, the Sigma-X mocks were very very helpful. The block wise analysis that the mock provides really helps you identify weak areas and helps you focus on getting higher scores. These exams are very very similar in level to the official exam. The official mocks are in fact little easier and can be misleading. I did find the sigma-X mocks from e-gmat to be quite accurate.

Lastly, the strategy experts who help with 1x1 guidance were very good. I worked with Akash, who was very supportive throughout and corrected me when I went offtrack.

Overall, e-gmat is highly comprehensive, helps one build their fundamentals, has great questions and mocks which can make you test ready and I highly recommend it for anyone at any level of preparedness who wants to take the GMAT.

In my 1st attempt at GMAT, I scored a 710 (Q50 V34). For my 1st attempt, I had solved OG questions and taken official GMAT practice tests but I was inconsistent with my Verbal scores, probably because of lack of proper techniques for various question types and lack of knowledge of my weaknesses in specific Verbal question types.

So, after my 1st attempt, I evaluated various perp providers. e-GMAT stood out to me as they seem to have a very robust data-driven platform which can reveal a test-taker’s specific weaknesses in question types. When I spoke to an e-GMAT representative, he told me that I was eligible for Last Mile Push (LMP) Program for Personalized Preparation guidance by a mentor. The data-driven platform and LMP sealed the deal for me and I went ahead with e-GMAT.

Experience with e-GMAT platform:
Highlights from Verbal section:
• e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension section was extremely helpful. Although test-takers may be able to read English, they may not be good at reading English for GMAT. Learning how to read properly for the test can make a massive difference in Verbal.

• The course is laid out in a systematic manner which helped me build my Verbal abilities starting with fundamental building blocks and thinking frameworks of various question types and ending with full-fledged GMAT style questions.

• This gradual ramp up helped me digest various techniques and processes and enabled me to be more consistent with my Verbal scores.

• The platform accumulates high quality data in-depth data about accuracies in various sub-sections in Verbal. Specifically, I found out that I was consistently weak at Strengthen questions which was a big revelation to me. So, I worked on my understanding of Assumptions and Strengthen questions. This helped me be equally good with all Verbal sub-sections which is required for an overall better score.

• This deep-dive data is really useful for working test-takers like me who have limited time which they can devote to test prep.

Highlights from Quant section:
Since I was fairly confident with Quant section, I jumped straight into e-GMAT’s practice question bank. Again, the data from the platform pointed out niche areas in Quant which I brushed up. The key with Quant for me was to keep the ability at the same level while I improved in Verbal.

The PACE engine helped me to skip those parts of the course which I was already good at, save precious time and direct my efforts towards the sections which were most relevant to me.

The Quant process skills highlighted in the course were crucial to deal with the silly mistakes which I made sometimes in tricky questions.

In both Verbal and Quant, for each question, there is an active Q&A forum with discussions between the students and experts. These discussions helped save time whenever I had any doubts, which were almost always asked by previous students and resolved by mentors.

For my 2nd attempt at GMAT, almost 95% or more of the questions which I solved were from e-GMAT and I only took Sigma-X mocks. I believe that their question bank and mocks are of a high standard and more than sufficient for GMAT prep.

Experience with LMP and my e-GMAT mentor:
My e-GMAT mentor for the LMP program is Abha. She has been extremely helpful throughout my prep for the test. She (and other e-GMAT mentors from time to time) has been a source of crucial guidance, support and constant feedback for regular course correction during my prep. GMAT prep can be a very challenging journey with constant ups and downs. Having a mentor watching over the whole process, guiding you in the right direction, giving words of encouragement at the right time, helping you navigating the course in the most time efficient manner and just being there as someone to share your prep-related difficulties is of immeasurable value.

I scored 740 (Q50 V39) in my 2nd GMAT attempt. Based on my experience with e-GMAT, I would highly recommend it to my fellow test-takers.

Strengths:

Extensive coaching by a Mentor, thorough analysis, and 1:1 coaching.

My GMAT journey has been a long one. I originally prepared with another test prep company and scored a 700 in November 2022. As my mock score were way higher I wanted to give another attempt, which was when I encountered e-gmat's Last Mile Push Program. I worked with my mentor Dhruv for 2-3 months and he has done an outstanding job in leaving no stones unturned. During this process, I finished all the course work again even though I already did the entire preparation part through another test prep company so that EGMAT's algorithm could find my strengths and my weaknesses. After completing the course work, my mentor Dhruv gave rigorous exercises almost every few other for the 2-3 months. I also did all the questions on scholaranium, which is a great resource by the way. The tests on scholaranium are a great way to build endurance required for the actual exam. Though I found a few questions to have ambiguous answers or the questions themselves to be confusing without additional info, they are, for the lost part, very well framed. My official mock score were in the 740-760 range whereas the EGMAT's mocks were around 710-720. Even though I couldn't replicate the exact performance in the actual attempt for reasons unknown at this point and scored 20 points lower than my previous official score, I would 100% recommend EGMAT's LMP program and my mentor Dhruv as well for any test takers looking to pursue EGMAT course.

Strengths:

The E-gmat platform is extremely user friendly and unique. Given that it was my first attempt at the GMAT, I opted to go with E-gmat because of the amazing reviews it held, especially for Verbal. I can confidently say that these reviews are testament to the outstanding course. I improved my verbal through the course. There are detailed sections, tackling each topic in depth. They also have a unique feature called Cementing which truly helps lay a strong foundation for conceptual knowledge. Their Verbal Knowledge bank is also vast with varied types of questions across different difficulty levels.

Would make the product better:

The Quant Course Material - I found it hard to navigate through multiple methods and long solutions. However, their knowledge on concepts was detailed and structured. The practice tests felt extremely hard and required newer approaches.

I really enjoyed the Verbal course through and through. It was well structured and detailed. With respect to the Quantitative Course, I personally used it only to refine my conceptual framework and it definitely helped clarify specific confusions that I had. Another thing to mention is the support. E-gmat mentors are easily available via mail to guide one through any stage they are stuck in. Moreover, the experts on the platform are also very reliable and try to answer any query posted by the student. We also hain access to previous queries which also encourages peer learning. All in all, I would vouch for their course material because it really helped me improve my score from my first mock 510 to my actual GMAT attempt 710.

Additionally, the support provided by my consultant, Dhruv, was instrumental. Despite the time zone difference between Brazil and India, we had regular one-on-one calls, and he was always willing to assist me.

However, overall, the course proved to be extremely helpful in my preparation. e-gmat offers a comprehensive and effective approach, with a strong emphasis on improving Verbal skills. The lessons are delivered clearly and comprehensibly, and the personalized support adds immeasurable value to the learning experience.

Would make the product better:

One area where the e-gmat course could improve is in the complexity of the solutions provided for the Quant exercises. I found them to be slightly more challenging than necessary, making it harder to grasp the concepts effectively. While the course overall was highly beneficial, simplifying the explanations for the Quant section could enhance the learning experience and make it more accessible for students.

I loved the e-gmat course, especially the verbal section. The lessons were well-explained and easy to follow. Dhruv, my consultant, provided invaluable support despite the time zone difference.

Hey there, folks! I just had to spill the beans about my eGMAT experience – it's been an absolute game-changer. So, picture this: I kicked off with a pretty decent 730 on my GMAT. But hey, why settle for "decent" when you can shoot for the stars, right? Thanks to eGMAT, I managed to skyrocket my score to a jaw-dropping 760. Let me give you the lowdown on how this all went down.

Alright, so I was already riding high with my starting score, and eGMAT hooked me up with their "Last Mile Push" Program. Fancy name, huh? Basically, it's all about taking you from good to crazy awesome. They paired me up with this rockstar mentor, Abha. She did this deep dive into my previous 730 attempt, sussed out where I was lagging, and then cooked up this super-tailored one-month study plan. Knowing that someone's got your back in this crazy GMAT journey? It's like a boost of confidence injected straight into your prep.

Here's the kicker – I was a bit of a champ in Quant, with a sweet Q50/51. So, all the spotlight was on Verbal. Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction? Those were my pet projects. eGMAT's got this "Meaning Based Approach" for Sentence Correction that's like a secret weapon. It didn't just amp up my skills, but it gave me this structured roadmap to demolish any SC question in my path.

Oh, and don't even get me started on running out of official Verbal questions. Enter stage left: Scholaranium. This bad boy is like a treasure trove of high-quality practice questions. And they've got these genius video solutions from eGMAT pros – talk about a double whammy! Plus, there's this interactive Q&A thing where you can dive into other students' queries. It's like learning in a cool, communal space.

But wait, there's more! The eGMAT platform itself? It's like the James Bond of GMAT prep. Analytics galore! They've got these nifty insights that make your study journey feel like a well-oiled machine. And just when I was getting sweaty palms about running out of official mock exams, eGMAT introduced me to Sigma X mocks. These are like mock exams on steroids, with super detailed analysis to help you fix those weak spots.

Bottom line, my eGMAT ride has been like a rollercoaster of awesomeness. From 730 to 760 – can you believe it? Personalized guidance, Scholaranium, and eGMAT's fantastic platform – it's like they held my hand and walked me through the GMAT jungle. If you're thinking of taking the plunge, I'm waving the eGMAT flag like there's no tomorrow. Trust me, it's a total game-changer!
