Strengths:

It is very comprehensive and covers each concept in great detail. AI helps extract most out of the questions.

I initially started preparing for GMAT from the Official Guides. However, it took me only a short time to realize this strategy wasn't right. I needed more than the concepts in the guide before the questions to solidify my preparation for the exam. Hence, I started navigating the internet to select an appropriate course. I came across excellent reviews for e-gmat on websites such as Quora, Reddit, and GMAT Club. A lot of people said that the verbal course is ideal for non-natives. I decided to opt for the 'GMAT online 360' course in e-gmat.

I was amazed by the depth of the content for each part of the test. Every topic was discussed in great detail, covering all possible ways the test maker may test that concept. To minimize the time spent, the modules in SC had pre-assessment quizzes s that one could go through the files accordingly. Post-assessment quizzes tested how much one had learned through the file. RC strategies were beneficial. The quant part was extensive; if one diligently follows their course, one can easily crack GMAT quant.

Cementing process was one of the most impressive parts of the course. It ensured that the concepts were solidified. Additionally, it helped me get comfortable with the hard questions required to score high in every section.

AI and data analytics helped me identify my weak areas to work upon. We could identify the questions that took us longer than the median time. Analysis of such questions was a great opportunity for improvement.

The subject matter experts were extremely helpful. Each doubt was cleared within 24 hours. Their intent wasn't just to solve the immediate doubt but to identify why the student had that confusion and to recommend suitable courses of action to bridge the gap in understanding.

Strategy experts were exceptionally helpful at every step of the preparation. Whenever I hit any roadblock, they would guide me. As a part of the Last Mile Program, I received direct support from Rida. She was an outstanding mentor. Not only did she help me analyze my mocks in the right direction, but she was also a constant source of support. I would contact her after each mock, and she used to help me with the corrective actions. The study plans made by her allowed me to practice a disciplined approach to the exams. You could feel the level of commitment from each of the e-gmat mentors.
I highly recommend this course!

Strengths:

SC section is really good.
Scholaranium feature is also a very good practice portal.
All the contents are very well structured.

Would make the product better:

There are some improvement rooms for e-GMAT, and I will be honest about this.
1. Forum response: I found quite a number of "not so good" responses in the forum. I think the experts can do better in answering the students' queries.
2. The error log: I think the Scholaranium is a good tool, but it can be better if it has an error log built in. I think it is not a complex feature to build. Rather than having students documenting stuffs on excel sheets, having a built in or automated error log will help a lot.
3. For Quant part, it would be better if more application questions are illustrated explicitly.

I have been studying with e-GMAT for around 4 months before I got the latest 710 GMAT score.

I first took a mock test and got 650 score. After 2 months, I finished Verbal section and took my first GMAT test in Feb 23 and got 700. Then, I joined the Last Mile Push (LMP) program from e-GMAT and took another test in Apr 23 and got 710.

Before breaking down into each parts, my overall impressions to e-GMAT are:
1. The courses are well-structured. The content are taught in a good sequence. The topics are broken down in a good way, so I can see the big picture of what I need to learn and how important each topic is.
2. The forum posting/commenting in every questions or contents. When you have any doubts, you can always post in the forum and the experts will answer you in 1 day. I used this feature a lot and most of the time my doubt was clarified.
3. The Scholaranium portal is a very good and convenient tool. It is a question bank where you can do practice quizzes or mock tests on the platform itself. The platform collects the statistic and provide valuable insights regarding your performance. Your mentor can really see how you perform and provide on-point feedbacks.

My feedback towards Verbal:
1. SC is really great. The content are provided in the way that you can see how SC questions can be. The meaning-based approach is honestly a pretty simple but very powerful technique. The way of thinking e-GMAT that teaches you is very structured and practical.
2. For CR, the general conceptual knowledge about CR is well taught. The approach is practical as well. However, I think some logics from e-GMAT original questions are a bit off for a few questions. There is nothing as good as OG questions when it comes to CR part I think, but e-GMAT is doing quite okay for me though.
3. For RC, I think the reading strategy taught by e-GMAT works for me, but it might not work for everyone. The more you read and practice, the more you excel in RC. The reading strategy is just another way of cracking this type of question.

For Quant part:
1. I think the general knowledge are taught well. The concepts are quite strong in my opinion.
2. However, I think the content lacks application aspects a bit. There are a lot of question types in Quant. One topic, let's say divisibility, can be twisted into many many types of questions. Knowing the concept helps you to be able to solve the question, but mastering how to apply the concept helps you to be able to solve the question in time and in a easier manner.
3. The solution provided are sometimes not realistic and practical for GMAT exam.

Last Mile Push (LMP)
1. I think this program helped me a lot. You will be assigned a mentor who will plan things out for you, analyze your performances and come up with a corrective action, provide suggestions in terms of testing preparation, and talk to you over all other aspects of GMAT.
2. My mentor closely worked with me. She first planned out the schedule for me, but I failed it by getting a lot behind the plan. She then adjusted and tried to make the best alternatives for me according to the situation and limited time. In short, the mentor worked with me closely and kept adjusting things based on the real situation. It is always better to work with someone rather than to work alone towards the same goal.

Reading Comprehension

My journey with GMAT has been far too long, and it is still going on. E-Gmat did help me get a score improvement of 40 points over my previous best score. If one would fully dedicate oneself to the methodology, chances are high that you would get to the target score. However, I was not able to and the blame is on me.
Below is my honest review about the course.

In the verbal concept building phase, the questions discussed are too easy. There is a sudden increase in difficulty and complexity when you start with practice. The answer explanation is not upto the mark and I had to refer to gmatclub discussion many a times. For any particular question, there is an entire discussion thread that one must sift through to check whether anyone else had the same confusion as you did. If yes, great! If no, then you ask the question and wait for an unsatisfactory answer. (Exception: Answers by Harshendra are great!) The discussion thread contains a lot of stale answers as well. So, beware of going through an inaccurate explanation.

In quant section, there is no complaint.

Overall, the course did help me develop my basics. I have a better grip on the individual concepts. I faltered in the application phase, but that's my issue. Maybe it will work out nicely for you. All the best!

Strengths:

The curriculum design and flow. The 3 stages of learning approach.

Would make the product better:

I think Question quality can be improved for Critical Reasoning. I found some answer choices to be ambiguous and so did several other subscribers.

Overall I would recommend this product especially for someone looking for major improvement in Verbal. They have excellent content on Sentence Correction and RC.
The Quant content is also good but I was not very happy with Quant questions and curriculum because I found some of them not to be of GMAT type and I have given GMAT 6 times so I have a sense of the type of questions. Their support team is excellent and responsive. Their Mocks are very good and are a close approximate of the real GMAT.
Overall, a good option considering the price, quality of content and support.

Strengths:

Well-structured course work,
data based progress trackers, and
SIGma-X mocks are the key strengths of this product.

Would make the product better:

1. Though they provide query support, which normally takes a day to receive a response from the instructor, holding live biweekly or weekly doubt clearing sessions where students may get their confusions or doubts clarified right away will save a lot of time and mind space during this journey.
2. Easily accessible Crisp summaries, summarized charts of a few essential sentence structures, key idioms or important phrases, formulas, and short tips and tactics that must be memorized would substantially assist students in revising the key points in the last minutes.

The entire course is well-structured, easy to follow, and provides enough questions to learn, practice and strengthen the fundamentals. Finally the course provides 5 Mock tests which help assess our preparation and take corrective measures on time. In the process of learning, primarily I developed a new skill-set, whereas a score of 700 became a fruitful byproduct.

It is worthwhile to invest in the course provided by EGMAT. In my opinion, if we solve the material provided by egmat in the time allotted, we won't need any more material to pass the GMAT with a good score. They provide very extensive and clear answers to each practice question, thus the material becomes adequate for cementing the concepts and practicing them.

Hi,

I took the GMAT course from the e-gmat and improved my score by 160 points. The course is very interactive and self-paced. As a working professional, It is very easy for me to grasp concepts in this interactive course. In addition, each section in the course has different modules/concepts and hence it helps us better understand our weaknesses and focus on correcting our mistakes.

The methods learned in this course especially in verbal helps you to solve questions even in a stressed environment as in the test center. The pre-thinking approach and the meaning based approach in verbal helped me a lot to improve my verbal score. The mocks in this course very much stimulate the actual GMAT mocks . In fact, they are a bit tougher when compared to actual GMAT. One can expect to score a greater than or equal to the score we got in e-gmat mocks.

The one thing that worked very well for me other than the course is the mentorship programme. GMAT is not just a test of concepts but it’s also a test of resilience, consistency and calmness. We might get a good score over the mocks but screw up our actual exam if we do not maintain our calmness. My mentor, Rashmi, from e-gmat provided me with the much needed confidence and boost along with detailed study plan throughout my journey keeping in view of my weakness and strengths. Thanks a lot to the e-gmat team, especially Rashmi, for being there throughout the journey.

Strengths:

1 - Adaptive Pacing - Especially in Quant, the adaptive pacing helps the student skim over the topics he/she is comfortable with and spend appropriate time on topics one is struggling with.

2 - Assigned mentor - Once a student is done with the learning phase of the course, a mentor is assigned to him/her. this is especially useful as the mentor can optimize the student's time and ensure that he/she is not wasting time on irrelevant stuff.

3- the Scholaranium - this is the question bank of E-gmat and I can't emphasize enough on its importance. it is very well designed and closely resembles the questions on the actual GMAT. The Question bank has enough questions to practice, provided one judiciously uses it and doesn't squander it. the Mentor can really help the student here.

Would make the product better:

1 - Completely self-driven - I would want a bit more initiative from the team during the revision / strategizing phase. The team is always quick to respond to mails and texts, no complaints there, but I feel a bit more initiative from the team will go a long way.

I enjoyed my time with the E-gmat. I opted for a 2-month course with a one-month extension. I initially gave my gmat with 2-month prep and scored 700. Before this, I did not take any coaching from any other platform and stuck to GMAT club practice questions for practice and Manhattan for the concept. I scored a 700 with this and decided to opt for a re-test along with an e-gmat subscription.
This decision proved helpful. In the verbal section, I could gauge my improvement and keep tabs on the concepts I was faltering in. Their mentorship program also helped me identify key areas where I was lacking, on which I diligently worked. I was especially fumbling in CR initially, but the structure-driven approach helped bolster the concept for me.
their difficulty Quant coursework is a notch higher in difficulty when compared to the GMAT, which makes the Quant section a breeze in the actual exam.
their mocks too are an apt representation of the level of questions one will face in the actual gmst and they help in the process of preparation for the same. I was scoring around 730 in their Mocks and was quite happy with myself. But in the actual exam, I got 710 (owing to some personal issues I was going through on my end)
Overall, I am quite happy with the E-gmat coursework and its mentorship program. They make sure one is comfortable with the process and ensure that every need of the student is met in a timely manner. The mentors work with you towards your dream score and assist you in every possible way

Strengths:

The content is tailored to what is tested on the GMAT. The course content is very easy to understand. The best part is that the basics of every topic is covered which makes it easy to solve difficult questions.

The dashboard is also interactive. Most of the doubts are already answered on the forum which makes it quick to understand the faltering points.

Would make the product better:

The number of hard difficulty question can be increased. Also, the number of mock tests can be increased or an option can be given to reset the mock test.

My overall experience with e-GMAT has been really pleasant. Their study plan and methods are really effective. I started my preparation with a score of 540. My basics were really weak but e-GMAT helped me build those basics and helped me improve. I could see a tremendous within the first 15 days. The strategies taught really helped. Even the questions bank is really extensive and has a wide variety of questions that gives you an ample set to identify the faltering points and improve.

I had a phobia for RC but the reading strategies really helped overcome it and improve my accuracy. Pre-thinking and falsification techniques in CR are also very crucial and helps a lot in eliminating wrong answer choices.

Special shoutout to Akash, one of the strategy experts at e-GMAT. He helped in creating an effective personalized study plan. His constant support and help was extremely crucial in planning the entire journey and was pivotal in making the right decisions at the right time. He really went out of his way to help me out and made every effort to make sure I score well.

I highly recommend e-GMAT to GMAT aspirants. The team really focuses on providing the best practices and plan tailored to every student. They also help you with additional content and lectures to help you clear concepts and make sure you learn and apply the concepts in the easiest way possible.

Strengths:

1. Meaning based approach in Sentence Correction
2. RC Reading strategies
3. And the most important, it's LMP (Last Mile Push) program

I enrolled with E-GMAT in November 2022 after my 4th GMAT attempt. I had scored a 620 in my 4th attempt and was extremely disheartened as the score was not representative of all the hard work I had put in over the past few months. Quite frustrated with the whole situation, I took the first e-gmat sigma mock 2 days after my 4th attempt and scored a 690. I had heard from my friends that e-gmat sigma mocks are a reliable predictor of your current gmat ability. After seeing the 690 score, I quickly signed up for the e-gmat online 360 (which includes both verbal and quant prep) and was amazed at the brilliance of questions and their solutions. Since I had already solved a lot of OG questions, I felt that the Scholaranium questions truly match up to the level of OG questions. After working for about a month on the egmat course, I reached out to their support team for enrollment to the LMP program. Since LMP is an invite only program and is offered to only few students, I was pleasantly surprised when Rida Shafeek responded to my request. Rida analysed my previous ESRs in detail and was ready to enroll me under her mentorship. She chalked out a comprehensive improvement plan based on my strengths and weaknesses, recommended some amazing test taking strategies and helped me push my score from 620 to 710 (Q49 V38 IR8). Thank you Rida for always being there and offering such valuable insights. Without your help I would have never crossed the 700+ score in GMAT. Thank you to the whole e-gmat team for dedicating all your efforts towards helping candidates.

The GMAT for me was easily the most daunting part of my application. After tons of hours spent researching and contacting seniors and friends who had given the GMAT, I purchased the e-GMAT online 360 course to assist me in my prep, and I was not disappointed. The verbal course is truly outstanding and gives you a fantastic framework to analyze and break down the questions to their bare bones, which enables you to eliminate the incorrect answer choices efficiently and confidently. Using their iron-clad process, I was able to boost my verbal score to a V38 (first time I ever prepared for or attempted the GMAT). The quant course is not talked about enough in my opinion, and is comprehensive in helping you master every single topic you would ever be tested on the GMAT. I achieved a Q50 on my first try thanks to the course.

However, more than the materials, I feel the place where e-GMAT truly shines is structuring your study plans and giving you an idea about where you stand along each step of the journey. The portal along with their extremely helpful support staff ensures you are following a consistent plan towards improvement, and if you clear the thresholds the portal asks from you, you are ready to shoot for a super elite score. Highly recommend the course to everyone.
