Course Content: The e-GMAT offers comprehensive course content for Quant and Verbal. The Quant and Verbal courses are structured topic-wise, starting with a quiz that gauges one’s level of understanding of each sub-topic, and progressing with a detailed explanation of the topics followed by quizzes on the studied topic. One is able to thoroughly comprehend the sub-topics with such well-structured course content. The reading comprehension course content is what I can vouch for, as it helped me improve my accuracy as well as my timing to solve RC passages.
Cementing quizzes: The Cementing quizzes, available in easy, medium, and hard difficulty, help one practice questions for a specific topic or under a mixed category. As soon as I felt comfortable after going through the sub-topics from the course content, I was advised to practice cementing quizzes for the specific sub-topic. Only after gaining a certain level of accuracy in the Cementing quizzes was I advised to move ahead to the next sub-topic. This approach helped me gain a decent level of understanding for each and every sub-topic.
Scholaranium: This is a very special offering by E-GMAT. A tool to analyse all the metrics based on your performance in the Scholaranium quizzes. Scholaranium helps one to directly identify one’s weak areas and helps to gauge progress in each and every aspect.
Sigma-X mocks: After going through all the advised course content and practicing multiple cementing quizzes, I attempted the Sigma-X mocks. The Sigma-X mocks are well designed to closely resemble the official GMAT test. My Sigma-X mock scores were 600, 650, 690, and 700. The improvement in these mock tests was only possible because of the constant feedback you get from the mentors who guide you through your journey.
Support Provided: A sincere thanks to my mentor, Abha Mohan mam, who helped me plan and execute my journey.

Strengths:

1. The course is organized and follows a logical structure.
2. Good Customer Service
3. Provides a customized plan
4. Tracks Milestones
5. Analytics

Would make the product better:

1. Quality of Math Questions
2. Simpler solutions - specifically math
3. Reading Comp passages are much longer than official version

I am a repeat GMAT test taker. I had a good experience with e-gmat. I did not see any improvement in my score. However, I did see improvement in my overall skill. I scored a 710 on my first test and was hoping to improve to 740. Unfortunately, even though my verbal raw scores improved V35 vs V39. Because of a 1 point drop in quant Q50 to Q49. The algorithm calculated my score to be 710 on my last attempt.

I started to prepare for the GMAT in July 2022. I took a free MGMAT mock test to establish a baseline and scored 630. After a 2 week of studying Manhattan Prep SC and Quant I took an offical mock and scored 660.

For my first attempt I utilized Magoosh, Official Prep materials and LSAT RC to prepare for the exam. I studied ~10-12 hours/week between August - November 12, before taking the exam, and scored 710 (V35 and Q50). My overall score was exactly the same as the official mock test #6 (710).

The biggest weakness prior to e-gmat program was SC. Specifically, I was very slow at finding the correct answer for the SC question type. For my second attempt I utilized e-gmat and the OG advanced/guide 2022. My SC and CR improved by ~10-15 percentile points. The methods used by e-gmat are very effective.

I highly recommend utilizing e-gmat's mock and SC sections during the initial parts of your preparation. Once you have mastered all the concepts I recommend using the official guide quesions. You will find that due to nature of the e-gmat question bank you will find the official questions a lot easier to process. The OG questions are typiclly shorter and more concise and e-gmat definitely helps with time management.

I did use the E-gmat mentorship program as well. My mentor Abha was very responsive and provided me with a customized program. The program itself recommends using OG material as you get closer to the test. If any one has 3-4 months to prepare for the test and definitely recommend using the scholarium question bank to cement the concepts.

Overall, I was not as impressed with the quant modules. The questions are different from OG and real GMAT. However, the questions do allow you to master important concepts tested in the GMAT.

Finally, I took all 5 mock exams. The mocks are harder to complete than the official test as the question prompts can be a bit longer. However, the mock exams predictions and analytics are quite accurate and help identify one's strengths and weaknesses.

My final sigma mock was v39, Q49 - 720, and was the same as my official score. I never broke V40 on e-gmat and have yet to do so on the official GMAT as well!!

In conclusion, I rate the egmat program to be a valuable tool in GMAT preparation. The mentors can provide a lot of value to an individual who is not sure on how to structure their study plan.

Strengths:

It had a lot of content. It strengthened my strengths and helped me become confident before test day.

Would make the product better:

I think the concepts are well taught, but I hope there was a separate time improvement mode to help me apply the concepts.
I would also like them to keep test review access open even when the product time expires since I was unable to review the tests that I had already taken before test day since my GMAT exam was scheduled almost a month later from the time my product time expired.

I would totally recommend e-GMAT for any new test taker.
Quants and CR are my strengths and EGMAT really strengthened my Quant and CR with their well curated content.
SC is still a weakness of mine, but I believe I improved a lot through the e-GMAT course. My RC abilities totally depend on the content of the passage. If I totally understood what the passage was trying to communicate in my first reading, I get almost all my answers right but when I find it difficult to completely understand the passage in my first reading, I become aware that getting all answers right would be tough for me.
With the full practice tests, I became aware of all my strengths and weaknesses and on Test Day I was very confident of getting a good score.

Strengths:

Verbal Course is very comprehensive and very GMAT oriented.

Would make the product better:

I would personally recommend you to hide the color coding(Green/Red) in the answer choices upon answering a question. If I get the question wrong, While reviewing I could see the correct answer choice(Highlighted in Green color) at a glance as in which option is the correct one but I personally wanted to give it a try again whether I got the question wrong because I rushed through or I had some gaps in the concept.
But, if there is another agenda for showing the color scheme as it is in the course,then keep going but I would like to know the agenda though😊.

Here’s my review of e-GMAT.
After completing my BTech in 2021, I wanted to start my MBA preparation. So, I started without any guidance as I thought I wouldn’t need it.
Now, Having the zeal to prepare on your own is important so does having a right mentor, if not more.
After countless hours of research, I started using resources available on the internet but didn’t follow correct strategy nor was I on the right track. Despite all the hard work, I was stuck at mid 600s and the reason was obvious that I was just solving questions randomly under the impression that I knew all the basics already and that practice makes a person perfect.
But let me tell you this-It’s the RIGHT PRACTICE THAT MAKES YOU PERFECT.
Then I subscribed to e-GMAT(a friend suggested) to improve my VERBAL score as I was already good at QUANT.
Trust me when I say this- You only think you knew everything in verbal until you come across the course provided.
The attempt that the Verbal course designers made to try to make one understand each and every concept(relevant to GMAT Verbal) without one having to memorise is truly commendable.
I gave my Exam again on 1st March,2023 and scored 730(Q50,V39).

Here are the things I liked in the course from each of the three sections:

Sentence Correction(SC)-
I never would have thought of the concepts/application of the same, had I not come across the course. I loved the meaning based approach. I loved how the course sticked to the concepts relevant to the GMAT(I mean it was obvious of the amount of research you guys did while developing the course). The teaching really helped me to solve medium to hard question within 90secs.

Critical Reasoning(CR)-
Previously, I used to read the question,scan through the options directly and wonder how in the world could those options be relevant/correct in the context of the question. But the PRETHINKING process taught in the course not only helped me solve hard questions with ease but also developed my problem solving skills. Thanks team for this process. This process will help me in the real world too😎.

Reading comprehension(RC)- The strategies mentioned surely helped to speed up my reading and comprehending skills. And personally I believe that this section depends on the ability of the test taker ultimately.

Quizzes:
I liked the concept of cementing. I followed the plan to the tee and it is absolutely necessary to do so too. Reviewing the solutions to both correct and incorrect questions helped me to solidify the concepts.
Thanks to the team for responding to all my silly doubts/queries😅 within a day.

QUANT-
Kudos to the team for the PACE AI. I felt like it was tailed-made especially for me as I was already good at Quant and It helped me to save a lot of time by letting me avoid concepts that I was already good at and concentrate on solidifying the concepts in which I had some gaps.

Last mile push-
Last but not the least,
Let me talk about LMP(Last mile push though I thought it was Last minute Prep at first😂)
While there is no doubt about the Verbal course significantly improving my Verbal ability, I would also attribute my improvement (from V28 to V39) to LMP.
I followed the plan given to me, attempted test readiness quizzes and attempted two Sigma-X Mocks and scored 740,730 respectively. To my surprise, These mocks were very reliable as I got the exact score in my official GMAT as in my Sigma Mock.
Thanks Dhruv for prepping my plan, for conducting 1-on-1 sessions and giving me valuable insights, and responding to my mails immediately.

Thanks Payal for such a wonderful GMAT prep product.

My suggestion to all the aspirants,who feel at sea as to which prep course to go with, is to give it a try and you won’t regret.
To those who started your e-GMAT/already in the midway through the course, I would suggest you to trust the process, follow the course to the tee, make a habit of maintaining error logs, and analyse each and every answer choice to reassure yourself why you got it wrong or whether you got it right for the right reasons.
All the best!!

Strengths:

Content

Would make the product better:

Interface, pace of the lessons and teaching methodology

The course was not very well designed or comprehensive. The UI also did not feel intuitive and some concepts did not feel relevant either. A lot of time was also dedicated to basic stuff repeatedly like how to create error logs and study which felt counterproductive and annoying after a point. For quant as well, the practice and the depth of questions were slightly off the mark and the content was repetitive and tiring. On the plus side, the course did cover all the major topics but needs improvement, customizations and a better UI to ensure that the content is engaging. The AI tool which gives suggestions needs some tweaking too.

Strengths:

1. Structured videos
2. Doubt support
3. Concept quizzes
4. xpert Dashboard that shows key learning gaps

Would make the product better:

1. Weekly video doubt clearing sessions for subscribers.
2. The first course under verbal can be further simplified for non-English speakers.

It's a great course to strengthen concepts. However, if you are starting from scratch, you'd need to supplement e-gmat with Manhattan verbal books.

For SC, I had to go through the Foundation of Verbal by Manhattan. I was able to understand e-gmat course after going through FOV.

For RC, e-gmat is probably the best course. Though, I did get hard and M-H questions wrong, the way e-gmat teaches RC is straightforward and effective.

For CR, I found e-gmat course to be a bit confusing. pre-thinking does not always work. Also, I found some explanations to be insufficient.

For quant, the questions can get repetitive. For quant, I feel, once you've gone through e-gmat videos, practice using gmatclub's forum quiz.

Strengths:

THe strength of the product is the strong Verbal Base and good quality material

Would make the product better:

The support team doesnt provide enough feedback to improve and the course doesnt fit in for beginners

Overall feedback is the Course is not worth of the investment and the support only provide the robotic type of feedback as per book. I was literally studying for 6-7 hours a day for around 4-5 months in a very disciplined manner and I really thought I was improving but when I gave a mock I was at a 610-620 . I was given feedback to revise multiple times which i did but Alas the improvement was not not that great, the only one tutor Harsha whom i found worth giving feedback rest all the not worth the penny on the course we have spent.
The course is not helpful for the begginers but it can be helpful for the 2nd time test takers and for those who has completed the course.

Nothing, everything was great

Because of high workload (combining full-time job in consulting and finishing my bachelor degree) I was able to start my preparation for GMAT only at the beginning of 2023. At the same time I had to pass the exam in mid February, so that I could have some time for preparing all the other things for the application. This all led to just one month of prep. I wanted to start on January 2, however I needed some time to recover, so I started only on the January 9. I took a vacation at my job for a month, however I still had 3 exams to pass at the university at that period. I completed my first free mock at e-GMAT on the January 9, then purchased the e-GMAT subscription and booked an appointment for GMAT the next day. My exam was set on the February 8, and that’s how my preparation started.
The reason for choosing e-GMAT for me was simple – my mentor with a score of 740 told me that e-GMAT was the best preparation service he used in his prep.
My mock result was 630 (Q47 V29). I knew, that Verbal section was my major weakness (as for many non-native speakers), so I focused on it for the whole prep period. And here comes the first thing I loved about e-GMAT: they provide extremely detailed analysis of your mocks and quizzes. From this analytics I knew, that my skills at RC are ok, but I have a lot to improve in SC & CR.
At this point I started e-GMAT Master Comprehension course. In fact, it solved my major problem: I was reading the questions multiple times but didn’t understand anything. After completing this course I felt a lot more confident as I started to fully understand the questions. Personally, I think this course is a MUST for non-native speakers if they want to achieve high Verbal score.
Then I started SC course. It was very difficult for my to memorize all the concepts in such a short time, however I did it pretty successfully. I should notice here that the approach to solving SC questions was extremely helpful. It gave me a straightforward structured way to solve both mid & hard difficulty questions. After completing the “theory” I moved to “practice”: I completed few quizzes in SC and saw a significant improvement, thanks again to detailed analytics provided.
At this point I had less then 2 weeks to my exam date and started CR course. While reviewing the concepts I understood that this type of questions is easy for me, so I did a review of my first mock again and noticed that my bad score was due to timing failure: I randomly clicked the last questions because of lack of time, which dropped my CR result (at the beginning of the mock I performed very well). That meant that if I fix my timing problems in SC (which I already did) I can already have a better result. This made me more confident, so I “rushed through” the CR “theory part”. I still completed all the course, but I was skipping some parts of videos, when I understood that I already knew these concepts well enough. Then I also did some quizzes and was left with 2 days before the exam. I’ve spent those on refreshing some formulas and approaches for Quant in express manner and took my exam.
So my improvements are:
630 -> 720
Q47 -> Q49
V29 -> V39
In the end I’d like to summarize all the thing I liked at e-GMAT (and that helped me to achieve such improvement in less then a month). The first and the most important thing for such express prep is the fact that e-GMAT is a great one-stop-shop for GMAT: it has theory courses, quizzes, mocks and personalized analytics all in one place. Secondly, courses structure and content are great: these are really MECE, so they provide you with all the concepts you need and do it in a way that you can memorize them fast. Thirdly, the overall quality of materials, UI/UX, tests was great. For me, it plays a great role in overall experience: if you are comfortable with using the tool, you’ll be able to extract maximum value of it, which is totally about e-GMAT. So, I really liked the product, I’m very thankful to the e-GMAT team and my mentor who recommended it to me.

Strengths:

The modules are designed in order to really focus on meeting the student across all learning stages - concept understanding, retrieval, cementing, to actual applications. The modules are sequenced in a manner that gradually helps one apply concepts & "cement" the knowledge for its application in a very new/foreign environment (actual exam) which reduces the chances of guesswork.

Would make the product better:

I personally felt that the question banks especially for the verbal section could be improved/made tougher to give a real sense of the exam environment. The verbal section for the sigma mocks was easier than the actual exam.

Additionally, a lot more supporting materials for certain hard topics (750+ level) could be provided that are more targeted/less generic.

Would definitely recommend taking this course for someone who is planning to get massive improvements in their score via a dedicated/clear action plan, especially for the verbal section. The math section also prepares one pretty well for the actual exam (which is much easier).

Kudos to their mentors & the LMP program in general - this program really enables one to focus on the right thing at the right time, without wasting much time in planning what/how one needs to study. The structured study plans/programs are definitely a highlight for a working individual who doesn't have much time to think/plan their prep. Mentors also enable you to move in the right direction & have a clear trajectory of what is needed/not needed in the whole preparation journey. Special shoutout to Akash who was always up for helping/guiding/supporting & mentoring me through the different learning phases!

In addition, the modules are structured in a manner that meets you in your own learning journey, without making it too generic/specific.

Lastly, the analytics/algorithm adds to your reflection journey by helping you pinpoint your weaker areas or areas of concern so you can create a more targeted revision plan & focus more on the weaker/strength areas.
