730 After 3 Weeks of Intense Practice

Strengths:

Quality of Questions
Cementing Quizzes
Structured Content

I gave my first GMAT attempt back in August'22, but due to a network issue in the test centre (Ansal University) my test got ruined and I couldn't reschedule it as I had to leave for college the next day. Although I was pretty devastated about it, the moment I reached home I made up my mind to give another attempt in my winter vacations. During my self-preparation I had seen the content of most of the test-prep companies and due to the short time available to me, I felt that e-gmat would be the perfect fit for me as they were known for their personalised study plan.

During the three weeks of my GMAT preparation, I was enrolled in the LMP Program by Abha Ma'am. She gave me a detailed study plan and I was in constant contact with her throughout. I followed the plan diligently and kept on getting regular feedback about my performance.

Quant: I would like to give a special mention to the cementing quizzes on the e-gmat platform. These quizzes have a selected set of questions, which are made to exploit the holes in your learning. I found these especially helpful for quant because even though I had a strong foundation in all the topics, these quizzes pointed out exactly where I need to pay attention.

RC: The effective reading strategies are really a blessing and improved my RC ability significantly. I could notice the difference in the results after I followed each step systematically.

SC and CR: The famous meaning based approach works wonderfully and should be carefully followed for it to work its magic.

Overall, e-gmat offers great structured, quality content that is more than enough for your GMAT preparation. Greatly thankful to Abha Ma'am for her insights throughout my preparation and would recommend anyone who is willing to put in serious efforts to choose e-gmat.

Hi Anirudh18,

Congratulations on the 730!!

This is Abha from e-GMAT. It was a pleasure working with you in the Last Mile Push program.

Achieving a 50-point improvement in just 3 weeks is a Herculean task, but it was only possible because of your determination and diligence.

I am glad to know that the cementing stage helped you identify the weak areas so that you could work on them which in turn translated into exceptional stats across Quant sub-sections. Here is an image where you can be seen excelling at hard questions in across Quants sub-sections.

Image Link: https://resources.e-gmat.com/Anirudh18-Quant-stats-predicted-Q51

In Verbal, you created a strong foundation by completing the concept and application files and built your skills by solving GMAT-like questions on Scholaranium. You truly immersed yourself in the reading strategies and this helped improve your accuracy to 76% and reduced your time to 1 min 24 sec per question in RC.

Image Link: https://resources.e-gmat.com/Anirudh18-RC-scores-improved-to-80th-percentile

I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, would like to wish you all the very best in your future endeavours. I am sure any program would be enriched to have a diligent student like you as part of its cohort.  

Regards,    
Abha Mohan

Strengths:

The comprehensive structure of the course, as well as how each concept is broken down and explained, are extremely beneficial. AI-based adaptive and personalized learning modules enabled me to focus on my weaknesses and effectively improve them. The ability to access the analysis of my attempts at practice questions and the mocks provided me with much-needed insights and guided my overall test preparation.

Would make the product better:

While the meaning-based approach is fantastic, in all of my attempts and mocks, I struggled with timing in the verbal section. The emphasis in the course and during the webinars is on fixing the concepts, which will lead to better timing. While this makes sense, my timing did not improve in the same way that my accuracy and understanding of the concepts did. If within the course, there are direct modules which could help address such issues, it would make e-GMAT an even better platform for GMAT preparations.

I found e-gmat's course for the GMAT to be incredibly valuable. The course content covered all the necessary topics for the test including Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Quant. The methods taught, such as the meaning-based approach, Prethinking and reading strategies, were particularly helpful in getting me more confident about the right answer, especially for the hard questions. The quality of the questions, mocks and analytics on the platform were also impressive. The mentorship support was also very helpful, the mentors were always available to answer any questions I had. The Last Mile Push program was a great addition to the course, it helped me to focus on my weaknesses and improve my score. Overall, I highly recommend e-gmat to anyone preparing for the GMAT.

Dear nisarg39,

Congratulations on a massive 150-point improvement from 560 to 710. It takes a lot of grit, determination, and focus to improve by such a tremendous margin, and kudos to you for having achieved that.

I commend you on how with a single-minded focus, you set about building your ability. In CR, by investing the time to build a rock-solid foundation, you were able to build tackle hard questions with ease. See how the time that you spent learning the pre-thinking approach helped you improve to a 74% accuracy in Assumptions:

Accuracy in CR - https://success.e-gmat.com/nisarg39s-accuracy-in-assumptions

I am glad that you leveraged the analytics on the platform to identify and work on your weak areas. See how this iterative feedback-driven approach helped you improve your accuracy for both medium and hard questions in Algebra:

Medium and hard accuracy in Algebra: https://success.e-gmat.com/medium-and-hard-accuracy-in-Algebra

Your feedback regarding SC timing is taken. That said, cementing which is an integral part of the preparation is a step that does exactly that – it helps build your ability by working on GMAT-like questions under timed conditions. This helps you reduce the time and improve your accuracy.

nisarg39, it has been a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best for your applications and interviews.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Scored 740 - Best GMAT course

Strengths:

Personalized feedback

Here's my GMAT journey :
I decided to go with GMAT exam in 2019. Since I already prepared for CAT in India, I thought I won't need any new coaching. So I bought the official guide and advanced guide. watched few youtube videos on Sentence correction rules. I was fairly confident after solving the official guides so went with official mocks. As far as I remember, below are the scores.
Official mock 1 - 730
Official mock 2 - 700
Official mock 3 - 710
Official mock 4 - 720
These scores were right in my target range and these were official mocks, that too 4 of them. What confirmation else do I need? "This is most accurate prediction of what my actual score on GMAT might be" I thought. Boy was I so wrong.
I gave my first official GMAT attempt in December 2019.
After the exam, the score popped up - a 650. This was devastating. This is not even close to my official mocks.
I was dissapointed. But I had only close to 2 years of experience and I knew that average work experience in US MBA colleges is around 5 years. So I knew I have time.

I kept preparing from other sources that I could find for next 1.5 years. But this was not a serious preparation, not even close. Fast forward to October 2021. I decided to ramp up my GMAT preparation as I have almost 4 years of work ex in next 4 months. I watched few youtube free sessions and e-GMAT caught my attention.
Why?? Because they had a super power. They read my mind. After the great GMAT debacle of 2019, I went into retrospection mode. And in my retrospection, all strategies and concepts that I realized were cause for my low score, were specifically mentioned by e-GMAT also to be major causes for lower scores of candidates in the GMAT. They also kept giving importance to 'No shortcuts to success in GMAT' mantra.
So I signed up and looked at the free modules and realised that this might be the course that I needed. I purchased the course in January 2022.
I blindly followed their module because, as I mentioned earlier, they were reading my mind. For every time some skepticism popped up in my mind be it about my ability or whenever I felt like I don't have it in me to succeed in GMAT, they already had a video debrief on youtube with candidates who went exactly through what I was going but still got a great GMAT score. This boosted my confidence that it is not just me - everybody feels the same - If they could do it - I can too. So I kept going with the modules, cemeneting quizzes, test readiness quizzes and finally the mocks.
The mocks are the most important of all as they even showed how the scored progressed with every question/block that I attempted. This helped me with coming with my own startegy that suits my personal style. 1 week before the GMAT official exam, Payal Tandon reached out to me saying that they observed inactivity on my account and asked me if there were any change of plans. I told that I have my GMAT exam in next 5 days. They immediately assigned me a mentor under Last Mile Program. Unfortunately I had only 3 more days to do what the suggested based on my weak areas. Yet they made a plan and scheduled video call sessions to help in with the last leg.
D-Day, I gave my exam on June 30th 2022 (offline centre exam) and it was 700.

Then I joined the ELP program to get feedback from mentors and followed their advice.
I gave my 3rd attempt after 2 months from my second attempt and the score 740 flashed on my screen.

Thanks to e-GMAT for their well-structured course and for not selling 'tricks to ace GMAT' just to onboard as many students as they can.
Special thanks to Rida Shafeek for taking time and mentoring me in the last days of my exam.

For anyone trying to decide which online course to go for, I will 100% recommend e-GMAT.

Strengths:

Well-structured and easy to comprehend course
Exhaustive question pool
Realistic Mock Exams
Extremely professional and sensitive team

Would make the product better:

Quant 700+ questions are I believe more difficult and require more calculations than official questions

Reaching 720 has been a roller coaster ride, and throughout this ride my constant partner has been e-GMAT Online Course. The more I say about the well-structured course, interactive interface, easy to comprehend material, humongous question pool, and realistic Mock Exams, the lesser it is. And most importantly, a very special thanks to the extremely talented, prompt, and professional team at eGMAT, especially Ms. Rashmi. The kind of handholding she did in the last phase of my preparation, especially focussing on my weak spots, providing step by step approach, following up on my progress, I can’t thank her enough for her role in my success story.

I appeared for the GMAT exam for the first time in 2018. Since I am an engineer and loved maths and had this feeling that I am good at English, I reached the exam hall with 2-3 months of self-study with official GMAT materials and came out with a disappointing 660(Q49 V30). Disappointed with this score and then overwhelmed with family and professional responsibilities I dropped the idea of GMAT.

In Dec 2021, I realized that in order to break the monotonous job cycle, I need an MBA and hence a good GMAT score. And this time i would not be approaching the exam ill prepared. I analyzed my weaknesses and simultaneously researched for the best online course to prepare with. And my thorough analysis led me to ‘eGMAT Online Course’. I started the preparation, but it wasn't a smooth ride till around July 2022, because of my demanding work schedule. Only in July I started following the structured approach as per eGMAT course structure. I started with SC, followed by CR, and then RC. Quants, I approached last. And for each of these sections, I followed the eGMAT’s principles as it is:

SC:
eGMAT course adds a whole new dimension to approaching SC sentences. The Meaning based approach that you learn is the only solution to 700 range questions. There is no way around this for anybody 🙂

CR:
Pre-Thinking approach not only saves a lot of time, but also, it's very organic and lays out a methodical framework which an engineer like me needs to solve problems.

RC:
Reading for GMAT is unlike any other reading approach. The art of visualization that I learnt after going through the course saved time and improved my accuracy, especially on 700+ questions.

I completed the course going through concepts, application files, solving cementing quizzes and scoring 740+ on mocks. I appeared for an exam in Aug 2022, and my score bombed at 680. I was devastated. I had zero doubts about my preparation, but probably the pressure of the actual GMAT exam, or probably the difference in aspect ratio of my small sized laptop vs the big screen in exam center, or probably the discomfort of big sized noise cancellation headphones became some of the reasons for the tanking of my score.
I immediately approached the eGMAT team and they offered me the LMP program. I was skeptical about that, so I declined, but Ms Rasmi from the eGMAT team was kind enough to motivate me for a reattempt.

I booked a slot in Sept 2022, and from that point of time to the exam date, the kind of support I received from Ms Rashmi has been invaluable. I was very thorough with eGMAT material, and the eGMAT strategies for each of the sections. Ms Rashmi identified my weaknesses by analyzing my past tests scores, approach to questions etc. That’s where I would like to mention the GUI and kind of data analytics the eGMAT software platform does is amazing. eGMAT team even extended my subscription by 11 days short of exam without a single penny on my request, else I would have to pay entire subscription amount. And, her step-by-step guidance led me to break the 680 ceiling and I scored 720. It was indeed a very happy and satisfying day for me. Thanks to the entire eGMAT team.

Dear abhisheksharma19,

Congratulations on the 720! This is your mentor, Rashmi here. It has been a pleasure working with you during your preparation.

Despite a rocky start, I really like how you approached the preparation in a structured way once you set out to get it right.

Having identified the verbal section as your weak area, you set about building your foundation by learning concepts and applications and then mastering each section by working on GMAT-like questions, you built your ability ground up. See how this methodical approach helped you improve to a 90th % + ability across all the sub-sections in verbal:

https://success.e-gmat.com/scholaranium-predicts-90-percentile-ability

Sometimes things do not go as planned and that is exactly what happened in your second attempt. Despite putting in all the efforts, the score on the GMAT was far from satisfactory.

I am glad that you did not let this attempt deter you and decided to reattempt. Then it was a matter of identifying and working on the weak areas, guided by the data tools available on the platform. See how this data-driven approach helped you go from a 65% accuracy to a 95% accuracy for hard questions in SC:

https://success.e-gmat.com/90-percent-accuracy-for-SC-hard-questions

I am really glad that the efforts paid off and you were able to get to a 720 with a V40 - a 10-point improvement from your first attempt.

I appreciate your feedback on the hard quant questions. But as they say, if you sweat in practice, you do not bleed in the battle. You need to have an exposure to questions from all difficulty levels so that you are not surprised or thrown aback on the day of the test.

I know it hasn’t been a smooth journey and as you have rightly said, a roller coaster ride to success. I am sure this never-say-die attitude will help you in all the facets of your life in the future and help you ace the next stage of your journey.

All the best and best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Location Online

I enrolled with e-gmat towards the end of June 2022, after spending some months on my GMAT prep with another test prep company and a mediocre GMAT score. Getting an e-gmat subscription changed the whole course of my GMAT prep. I earlier relied a lot on guess-work and instincts to pick an answer choice. Later, the whole process became entirely logic driven and concept based. What I loved about e-gmat -

i. Course structure

The e-gmat course has been wonderfully designed with superb analytics and a student-friendly user interface. I was initially asked to take a sigma-X mock, and using results of that score a personalised study plan (PSP) was created for me. The PSP took into account my current abilities and amount of time I could devote to my GMAT prep and came up with the plan that I needed to follow in order to achieve my target score. The plan was designed in the most optimum possible way.

ii. Course content

The e-gmat team has wonderfully designed the entire course content. Each module, be it Verbal or Quant, has been so beautifully designed, that a student need not refer alternate resources for anything. The Master Comprehension module was really useful. It put me in the habit of consciously reading, with an intent to absorb the meaning. The content videos are short and crisp, and cover the subject matter comprehensively. The practice files and the application files after each concept videos helped me solidify my understanding before moving to the next concept. Although I initially planned to use the subscription for the Verbal course, I ended up going through their Quant modules as well!

iii. Methods learned

I. SC
The e-gmat methods of learning were a game-changer for me. I earlier relied on a lot of guess-work and luck to arrive at the correct answer. For SC, their meaning-based approach helped me understand the meaning of the question statement and the author’s intent. This is a very crucial step, as it helped me eliminate answer choices that were grammatically correct but worded in such a fashion, that the meaning changed entirely. The meaning-based approach is especially useful when it comes to solving Hard level SC questions.
II. CR
I can’t emphasize enough on the usefulness of the pre-thinking activity in CR. For a major part of my GMAT prep journey, I ended up with 2 answer choices in CR. I would then end up choosing either of them, and thought that there was nothing I could do to change this. The pre-thinking approach helped me pause, and visualize the entire argument. It precisely helped me visualize the conclusion and come up with a solid framework to analyse the answer choices. This entirely eliminated the need to revisit the question stem, and read the answer choices again and again. I was able to confidently mark the correct answer choice. I took a lot of time to develop this habit, but my mentor Rashmi, provided me with a lot of tips and plenty of useful content to perfect this process.
III. RC
Honestly, I had discounted it initially, leading to a poor accuracy in RC. But after following the e-gmat structured approach to RC, I realized how important it is to tackle RC in the right way. The modules are wonderfully designed and focus a lot on comprehending the passage and understanding the author’s intent. It helped me consciously absorb the meaning and the tone of the author. It enabled me to identify the incorrect choices and select the correct one on solid grounds.
IV. Quant
The quant module is very thoughtfully designed. The PACE module saved me a lot of time and allowed me to focus on only those modules that were necessary. The entire quant module emphasizes on process skills, and following these process skills clearly enabled me to approach quant questions the right way. It eliminated any possibility of making errors while solving questions. Each concept video in quant wonderfully explains the concept, along with adequate questions for practice to solidify your understanding.

iv. Analytics / Questions / Mocks

The best part of the e-gmat course is the Scholaranium. The quality of questions and the solutions provided to it are top-notch. They resemble a lot with the questions on the GMAT. After each practice quiz, the analytics came up with really good recommendations and quickly highlighted my weak areas and what I could do to polish those. The Cementing quizzes after each module helped me cement my concepts in the best possible way. It also identified any gaps and my mentor would then guide me how to polish those. The custom quizzes feature allowed me to practice test-readiness, by allowing me to pick and choose questions from any topic and practice it. The sigma-X mocks provide a very close representation of the actual test, and are a great way to guage your performance.

v. Mentorship support and Last Mile Push program

Rashmi, my mentor from the e-gmat team has been a blessing in this entire GMAT journey! She would analyze my performance in every module and provide me with a clear road-map for the next steps. She would come up with very detailed analysis of my quiz attempts and provided me plans that I could follow with my work commitments. After she onboarded me in the Last Mile cohort, she came up with an elaborate plan specially designed to help me get to my target score. She designed a module-wise improvement and revision plan, keeping in mind my time constraints and other commitments. The amount of effort she has put in to help me get to my target score is HUGE. It wouldn’t have been possible without Rashmi’s effort. At times the plans that she made me follow and revisiting modules when I didn’t perform well on the practice tests felt cumbersome. But she kept me going, motivated me when I felt low and not-so-confident about my performance on the test. Huge thanks to you, Rashmi! The Last Mile Push program is a great product designed by the e-gmat team. It helps you push your score beyond the upper-600’s to reach the 700’s. the support team at e-gmat is always an e-mail or a call away, I can only advise students to follow to your mentor’s suggestions to the last T!

Overall, the e-gmat is a wonderful product to cater to all your GMAT prep requirements. The course content along with the mentorship support is fantastic! I’d like to thank the entire e-gmat team in helping me achieve my desired score!

Dear Unmani,

Congratulations on a massive 90-point improvement to 720😊 It has been wonderful working with you in this journey towards success.

Unmani, you made certain right decisions along the way that helped you get to that 720:

1. You started the right way by assessing your staring ability and creating a personalized study plan to chart your preparation path

2. You followed this with a structured approach to building the fundamentals that helped you get to the 90th percentile in verbal. This image shows how the time that you spent on learning the foundations helped you get to a 92% accuracy for modifiers questions:

https://success.e-gmat.com/Foundation-helps-build-ability

3. Having built the foundation, you then mastered the applications by practicing GMAT-like questions through cementing. Recognizing that a “guesswork” based approach in SC was not working, you set about internalizing the meaning-based approach that helped you improve to a 95th percentile in SC.

4. You persevered despite setbacks. As you have mentioned, you took a lot of time to master the pre-thinking approach in CR, but you did not give up, and in the end, perfected this helping you answer hard CR questions with ease. This image shows how this helped you improve to a 90th percentile ability in CR:

https://success.e-gmat.com/Unmanis-90-pecentile-CR-ability

5. While following a similar diligent approach in quants, you leveraged the PACE-time-saving feature allowing you to save 45 hours of overall preparation. See how in Geometry alone you saved close to 6 hours:

https://success.e-gmat.com/PACE-time-saving-in-Geometry

6. Having built your ability, you then worked on building your test-taking skill by creating mixed quizzes to build your stamina and ability to navigate between different question types.

7. You supplemented all these efforts by leveraging the data analytics on the platform to identify and work on areas of weakness.

8. You diligently followed all plans that I as your mentor suggested even when it felt repetitive or tedious.

Success is not an incidental happening, but it is a result of all the right decisions that you make along the way. I congratulate you on having made these right decisions and charting out the path to GMAT success.

It has been a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the absolute best in the next phase of your life.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Location Online

Initial preparation by myself:

I started to seriously focus on GMAT in May 2022. I had just moved to a new country and was settling into a new job, while juggling a bunch of extracurricular activities. Having gone through the Official Guide already, I knew I needed help to get an attractive score for a top b-school, help particularly in Verbal. While I enjoyed solving CR questions, I was quite slow with RC and SC was my worst enemy. I often felt confused even after reading SC solutions as I lacked the appropriate knowledge of gmat SC rules.
I began researching options and found a lot of positive reviews for e-GMAT, so I decided to put my bet on it. I had scheduled my first exam on July 28th. I had roughly 2.5 months to prepare. In those 2.5 months I went through all the verbal concepts in e-gmat, completed the advanced OG book, and tried all the official mocks. I was repeatedly scoring 740, 750 in the official mocks with Q50s and V40s. I felt really pleased. I thought I would be done and dusted with gmat in no time. Gee, was I wrong. My official score of 680 (Q47, V35) glared back at me. I was mortified. I didn’t even reach 700.

Targeted Improvement with the help of e-gmat mentor:

I wrote to e-gmat asking for guidance on my strategy for re-attempting it. That’s when Rashmi, my strategy mentor came into my life like an Angel. I also realized I had under-estimated GMAT quant. The quant in the official guides and mocks is actually a lot easier than the real exam. This had taken me off guard. I also realized I needed to practice applying SC concepts better as I was often guessing between 2 options.
Rashmi helped me identify weak areas and prepare an improvement plan to go over the concepts I needed help in. It was then that I started using Scholaranium (e-gmat’s question practice tool) too. Rashmi helped me prepare customized tests to cement the concepts I learnt. Scholaranium is honestly a wonderful tool that has a large pool of gmat-style questions categorized based on difficulty, sub topic etc. You have a lot of flexibility to cater your practice to your specific needs. Scholaranium’s pool of hard quant questions actually reflect the difficulty level of the kind of questions you’ll face on test day. I had scheduled my exam for November. In between preparation I had a few obstacles like a knee injury, covid, travels related to family emergencies etc. Although we hadn’t completely finished the improvement plan I decided to still give it a shot and attempt the test as I was hoping I could apply for this upcoming application cycle. I scored 700 (V38, Q48).

Final attempt:

I was happy to reach 700s, but I wanted to improve it further. I came to know about e-gmat’s last mile push program - an intensive 30 day focussed plan. Rashmi made my life easier by laying out each day’s plan and tracked my progress through interactive dashboards. It felt motivating to see the plan ahead of time and encouraged me to meet each milestone on the targeted date. The last week of the plan, we spent doing a couple of sigma mocks in which I scored 740 (Q48, V42) and 750 (Q49, V42). I felt a lot more confident with verbal and started enjoying SC questions too. I went through the SC concept files multiple times to solidify my understanding of the process and rules. I was able to eliminate each option on solid grounds a lot more confidently. I ended up scoring a 720 (Q48, V41).

Introspection:

In hindsight I feel I could’ve improved my quant a bit more, but I am happy with the 720 and extremely happy with the V41. Also during the actual exam after my break I got lost in the test center and wasted ~4 minutes of my time for verbal while I found my way back to the correct room. So didn't expect to get a good score as I was writing it. :P

Product Strengths:

-Great mentors to be by your side and give you individual attention
-Wonderful Verbal Concepts course
-Great pool of questions reflecting actual GMAT standard in an organized manner so that you can curate your practice
-PACE enabled quant course to help you focus on subsections you need.

Would make the product better:

-Bigger pool of quant hard questions as most of the GMAT qns are of that difficulty.
-SMEs give timely responses, but the responses are not always helpful. But I enjoyed reading all the previous doubts/conversations from other students and even most of the responses from the SMEs are good.
-Revisit the actual content of the qns. I encountered qns that confirm to gender stereotypes which was a bit disheartening. I did mention this to the team citing specific examples. They responded positively and said they will look into it. So I'm hopeful this will change soon :)

Dear maria96, ,

Congratulations on the hard-earned 720! What a journey it has been, and I am proud to have been a part of it😊

I must really commend you on how having recognized that verbal is where you require help improving, you set about learning the concepts and applications. This image shows the amount of time that you spent laying a solid foundation in SC:

https://success.e-gmat.com/maria96-Excelled-in-Subject-Verbs

Running against the clock, you skipped the crucial step on mastering your application by working on GMAT-like questions through cementing and had to settle for a lower-than-expected score on the GMAT in your first attempt.

But as they say, it is human to falter, but it is the winners who learn from their mistakes and come out victorious. Now having recognized the importance of mastering the application, you set about building your ability by solving GMAT-like questions in scholaranium. See how this helped you transform from a person for whom “SC was a nightmare” to a person who improved to a 90th%ile ability in SC:

https://success.e-gmat.com/maria96s-90-percentile-ability-in-SC

Even in CR, which you knew was your strong area, you focussed on identifying and working on your weaknesses to build a rock-solid ability. See how this approach helped you improve to a 95th%ile ability in Assumptions while reducing the overall time to 1 min 42 sec for hard questions:

https://success.e-gmat.com/maria96s-accuracy-vs-time-in-CR

In quant, you leveraged the P.A.C.E. engine to focus on your weak areas and this helped you save 43 hours of study time

Maria, I am sorry that you found the forum response not very helpful but please note that you can always, follow it up with another question to solve any further doubts that you might have. Also, we have taken your feedback on gender stereotypes and would like to tell you that it was not in anyways intentional, and we shall look into it.

If I must describe the key indicators that helped in your GMAT journey in a line they would be – sheer grit, determination, and focussed efforts😊 I am sure the future has wonderful things in store for you and wish you all the best for all your future endeavours.

When I started my Gmat preparation, I thought I don’t need any coaching as I have previously aced many exams by doing self-study. I prepared using OG questions and free sources available online. I finished my prep and started giving mock exams just to realize that my score was fluctuating between 660 and 700 and even my highest score was nowhere near to my desired score. I had no idea how to improve my score further and that’s when I decided that I need some professional help.
I started reading the reviews of various courses available and after thorough research I decided to go for e-gmat. I Knew that being non-native English speaker, I don’t have ear for the right answer. But being engineer, I was logically strong and that’s what e-gmat’s approach is based on. Instead of mugging the rules and then relying on ear, they have structured, step-by-step and logical approach to solve the questions. Their meaning-based approach magically improved my SC score. Now, instead of my Achilles' heel, it became my strong point where I could save time to utilize on tougher CR questions. I was already good at CR, but their pre-thinking approach helped me fasten the process of question solving. For RC, I tried various approaches from fast reading to slow reading. But either my accuracy was suffering, or I was taking too long to solve the questions. E-Gmat’s reading strategy helped me find the sweet spot of solving question with good accuracy and in optimal time. after solidifying my concepts, I moved towards solving more and more questions. E-Gmat’s Scholaranium was pretty useful in this regard. Each question was followed by detailed answers and many had detailed video solutions. Even after going through the solution, I sometimes had few more doubts. I did post those doubts and e-gmat’s team was quick enough to reply them. Their Sigma-X mock tests were also helpful in assessing the ability.
Towards the end, I opted for their last mile program, in which a dedicated expert overviewed my progress, strategy, and weaknesses and suggested personalized improvement plans. The expert even overviewd my progress till the actual gmat exam. This further helped me to improve my confidence and score. All these efforts helped me achieve a score of 740 (Q50 V40).
Even during my preparation, many of my friends asked me for prep tips and I told them just to blindly follow the e-gmat course. I would give same advice to everyone. I hope this review would help more of my fellow aspirants.

Dear AkashYewale,

Congratulations on the 740! With this, you are among the top 3% of the GMAT test-takers. What an achievement! It has been a pleasure working with you in this journey toward excellence.

As you have rightly said, SC is not just about rules and grammar. It is the logical application of certain fundamental processes that will help you consistently answer all types of SC questions with good accuracy. See how internalizing this logical ‘Meaning-based approach’ helped transform your ‘Achilles Heel’ to your armour by helping improve to a 75% + accuracy across all topics in SC:

https://success.e-gmat.com/AkashYewales-excellent-SC-ability

Recognizing that there were timing issues in CR that needed to be addressed, you started from the foundation up and mastered the pre-thinking approach by working on GMAT-like questions on scholaranium . See how this structured attitude helped you improve to 90th%ile ability in CR while helping reduce overall time for hard questions to 1 min 48 sec.

https://success.e-gmat.com/AkashYewales-CR-accuracy-vs-timing

I appreciate how you recognized that the biggest challenge in RC is to “find the sweet spot of solving questions in optimal time with good accuracy.” Having done this, by working on your reading strategies, you were able to find this balance and excel in RC.

Rome was not built in a day – similarly, excellence is not achieved through a single quiz. It is an iterative process where you need to review each question to find those incremental improvement areas. I am glad that through reviewing the solutions – both in quizzes and mocks – you were able to strategically work towards solidifying your ability.

You are a prime example of how you do not need to be a native speaker to ace the GMAT verbal.

I am so happy that all the effort paid off! I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, wish you all the best in this new journey that you have embarked upon.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Strengths:

Course content and structure, learning methodologies and processes like SC meaning-based approach or CR pre-thinking, personalized study plans and great analysis tools into sub-section abilities, and finally, their 1:1 support as part of the last mile program

I began preparing for the GMAT very late in the game for Round 2 applications this year and e-GMAT is the sole reason I was able to achieve my target (nay, dream) score. I would blindly recommend to anyone and everyone regardless of your starting level and here's why:
1) Course structure: with so many different resources to choose from online, not to mention the countless test-prep publishers, it can get a little overwhelming deciding what to study and that's where I really appreciated the e-GMAT modular course structure which has both breadth of everything you need to know and also depth (tons of practice questions and video lessons) in whichever areas you seek to improve
2) Course content: in my opinion, the learning content and unique approach to certain sections of the test has clearly been developed over years and is second to none. For example, the meaning-based approach to SC, pre-thinking in CR and the invaluable process skills in Quant
3) Quality of questions and analysis tools: I only covered about 25% of the total number of questions available on the platform and yet was able to expose myself to almost every little trick the GMAT test makers may use. Scholaranium 2.0 is awesome and after you guys are done with the learning modules, this should be where you spend most of your team and do most of your learning (and score improving!). Further, their analysis tools to judge your ability based on your performance in not just a subsection (say Algebra) but even more granular (like simplifying algebraic expressions or solving quadratic equations) and therefore you know where to improve your accuracy to achieve your target sectional (and sub-sectional) scores/ability
4) Last and perhaps the biggest reason for my to recommend e-GMAT is their hyper-personalized learning plans and the 1:1 support I received as part of the Last Mile Program. Rashmi was a not just a constant source of support and helped me maintain discipline, but also drafted my study plan personalized based on my initial mock test and then every few weeks into it would check in and make adjustments if needed. I felt the same level of motivation and commitment from the other e-GMAT mentors that I have interacted with and am positive that you all will be better-off for having their support.

Dear adidixit10,

This is what dreams are made of! Congratulations on the 770 with a massive 9-point verbal improvement to V47😊 What an achievement this is! It has been a pleasure working through the Last Mile Push program with you toward this target.

This mail from you captures the ecstasy that you must have felt seeing the score pop-up on the screen:

https://success.e-gmat.com/joy-of-scoring-770

What stands out in the entire journey is your diligence towards the preparation and the willingness and determination to learn from every question that you solved.

You left no stone unturned. Recognizing that SC is one of your weaker areas in verbal, you set about learning all the concepts and applications. Once done with that you practiced on the scholaranium questions to build your ability. See how this structured approach helped you breeze through the hard cementing quizzes helping you improve to the 95th %ile ability in SC:

https://success.e-gmat.com/SC-cementing-quizzes-predict-90-percentile

In CR, you were starting out at a higher ability. But when you recognized that the process that you were using wasn’t delivering consistent results, using the analytics on the platform you identified your weak areas and diligently fixed them. See how with this data-driven approach you were able to transform the ‘Assumption’ block in CR to one of your strengths:

https://success.e-gmat.com/adidixit10s-accuracy-in-assumption-block

As you have rightly mentioned, given the time constraints, you did not have time to practice a lot of questions. But you made every question count by spending substantial time reviewing the solutions and learning from them. This iterative approach of learning from your mistakes helped you improve to the top 1% in verbal.

Even in quants, you leveraged the feedback-driven system and were able to improve from a Q47 to a Q49 in a matter of one week. Congratulations on that😊

adidixit10, the qualities that you have displayed during your preparation are the ones that characterize a winner, and I am sure you will go on to achieve great things in your future.

I wish you all the best for your forthcoming interviews from all your dream b-schools.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Advantages of e-GMAT are that it has a vast question bank built by experts and you can attempt quizzes in a timed manner. Timing strategy is as important as knowing all the technical know-how for acing the GMAT. Practicing quizzes in a timed environment helped me build stamina for the exam. The customization feature for quizzes allowed me to cement my weaker sections – especially in SC, where I was having quite some trouble handling Modifier questions. Also, the fundamental approach for SC – understanding meaning, CR – pre-thinking and RC- summarizing the passage before jumping onto questions, helped me solve questions in a structured and confident way.

But undoubtedly the best part of e-GMAT is the LMP program which pairs you with a mentor who supports you to build a roadmap by analyzing your test results. I was lucky to work with Aakash, who was very supportive and always available to help solve any difficulties I had in planning the study schedule. Being a full time professional, it is easy to get derailed from the actual schedule but thanks to the mentor-based approach, I was able to stay focused and complete the course modules and quizzes on time. Whenever my scores could not hit the target, Aakash always made a point to provide me with reference lectures to work on my skills. The study plans also took into consideration my time commitment and were flexible enough to allow time for revision and analysis.

To give a bit more context, I had used a self-study approach in the first attempt and scored a 710 (V36, Q50). Quant was relatively a strong area for me but I had no clue where it was going wrong in Verbal. Hence, I decided to give e-GMAT a try. I had roughly a month to practice and solved all the Verbal modules. But I somehow managed to score only a 700. Maybe it was the pressure or just a bad day. I had planned to apply in R2 and gave the second attempt around mid-Oct. But scoring only 700, I was hopeless about applying to any of the target schools I had in mind. However just to get a hang of the application process I decided to apply to one school and when the bulk of the application was over, I still had around 2 – 3 weeks left on my hands. I decided to give GMAT one more try after getting some encouragement from my mentor at e-GMAT. He assured me that I had all the skills necessary and only needed to work on giving the test with a calm mind. For the 2 weeks, he prepared a fine-tuned plan targeted specially at my weak points, accommodating the time constraint I had due to my job and the application. Third time was a charm and I got through scoring a 750.

Dear ru345,

Congratulations on your score of 750 with a Q49 and a remarkable V42 (96th percentile)!

With this, you have become a part of the top 2 percentile test takers! The fact that you have improved from your last test score of 700 to 750 (87th percentile to 98th percentile) within just 17 days makes this feat even more commendable.

I was as elated as you were when I received the email below about your exam results.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ru345-GMAT-Score-Email

You were always willing to put in the effort to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve. With your dedication, you let the pre-thinking approach in CR become second nature to you. The image below shows how you improved your accuracy in CR hard questions from 65% to 85%.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ru345-CR-Improvement-Statistics

You maintained your diligence and perseverance through all Verbal subsections, allowing you to reach your GMAT score in a very predictable manner. You were consistent with your usage of the Scholaranium. You used the Scholaranium analytics to understand your weaker areas and then you used the customization feature to do target practice on those weaker areas. The image below shows your statistics across three subsections in Verbal in hard questions. These statistics show the consistency through which you got that V42 (96th percentile).

I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination and I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

Strengths:

Well structured and easy to follow modules. Excellent for someone who is starting the GMAT prep from scratch.

Would make the product better:

Total no of Sigma x mocks could be increased.

I started my GMAT journey with e-GMAT on 15th March 2022. I came to know about e-GMAT through my friends who were also preparing for GMAT. Before joining e-GMAT, I reviewed other courses and found that e-GMAT is less expensive and has delivered better result than other courses available online. I decided to use a trial version of e-GMAT just to be sure of my decision. One thing that stood out for me in the trial version was how both quant and verbal concepts are taught from scratch. I was fully satisfied with what I saw in the trial version and decided to go for e-GMAT course.
Here is my detailed review of both Verbal and Quant course:
Verbal:
Like a typical Indian engineer’s verbal ability, my verbal ability was very poor from the beginning. I knew that I had to work both hard and smart to get a good score in verbal. e-GMAT provided me a perfect platform for just that.
Regarding sentence correction (SC), every concept, starting from verb to modifiers and idioms, was taught from the scratch in e-GMAT. These concepts were also taught in structured format through well -explained videos. After each and every concept, there is an evaluation test based on that concept to test your skill on the concept. Each and every question in the evaluation test is very well explained through videos or written analysis by Subject Matter Expert (SME). This helped in clearing a lot of doubts regarding SC. Also, e-GMAT focuses on meaning-based approach in SC. This approach increased my accuracy significantly and reduced my time for answering questions as I was able to eliminate the answers based on meaning of questions.
After one is done with SC, there are cementing quizzes, which tests your knowledge on the the concepts learned in the SC. These are medium and hard difficulty level quizzes. e-GMAT, through videos, guides the students on how to effectively use these cementing quizzes without exhausting question bank. e-GMAT also guides a student on how to maintain error logs. Remember, it is important one maintains an error log as it helps in identifying the weakness and strength.
Talking about CR and RC, both are also taught from the very basic. In CR, pre thinking approach is used for solving questions. This approach saved a lot of time and improved my accuracy significantly. All type of questions, from assumption to boldface, are explained in detail and in a structured format in e-GMAT by SME. For me, improving my CR skills did a lot of wonders. Once my CR skills improved, I observed that my RC skills were also improving as I was able to understand the RC questions easily and eliminate the wrong choices easily.
Each of CR and RC is followed by cementing quizzes, which helps in strengthening the base and building your confidence on your own verbal abilities.
I highly recommend the verbal course to someone who wants to score more than 700 in GMAT with a good verbal score
Quant:
As I am from engineering background, I was confident in my quant abilities. e-GMAT took my quant abilities to next level in a very short amount of time. e-GMAT has interesting feature called PACE engine. This feature enables one to customize the course and saves a lot of time. In my case, I was able to cover the entire quant course in half the time because of this feature. Each and every concept is taught from very basic and gradually difficulty level increases. Generally, quant questions in e-GMAT are of higher difficulty level as compared to official GMAT. Students who do well in e-GMAT quant course will have no problem in answering quant questions in official GMAT exams.
If one wants to score equal to or more than Q49 in official GMAT, I highly recommend the e-GMAT quant course.
Sigma X Mocks:
Once, I was done with my quant and verbal course, I started giving Sigma mocks. These mocks are adaptive and pretty close to official GMAT. ESR + analysis feature allows you to identify weakness and strength in different quant and verbal section. These mocks are an effective way to track your progress and learn about the improvement areas during the preparation.
I recommend that you take full advantage of the Sigma-X mock tests if you have subscribed to the e-GMAT way.
Overall, my experience with the course was excellent and I highly recommend it to someone who is starting from the scratch.

Hi Abhilash
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 710 score!  

A colossal 110-point improvement is a dream for many, and you are one of those very few who was able to accomplish this dream on the very first attempt. I applaud you for your efforts that allowed you to achieve this score of 710 (90th percentile) from a starting score of 600 (50th percentile). 

You enhanced your SC and CR abilities by internalizing the ‘Meaning-based approach for SC’ and ‘Pre-thinking approach for CR’.

The image below shows a steady improvement in your SC abilities.

With your diligence and the structured approach for SC and CR, you developed your RC abilities.

In GMAT prep, time is one of the most valuable resources. You strategically saved yourself 6+hours using the P.A.C.E AI enabled Quant course on our portal. Here is an example of how you benefited from using the P.A.C.E feature in Advanced Topics.

Your repeated success on the mocks gave you the confidence you needed to succeed on the test day. You could predict your success just by having a glance at your last 2 Sigma -X mock scores, wherein you scored 720 and 710 respectively.
