I took the GMAT online exam on 3rd December, 2022 and scored a 730 ( Q49 V41 ). I took a mock before starting any prep and got a score of 650. I was apparently in the 650-700 plateau stage. So, I signed up for the e-GMAT course on 2nd July, 2022. I totally loved the course. Everything is extremely detailed. It start from the basics courses ( Quant Basics for Quant and Master Comprehension for Verbal ). Both of which helped me strengthen my foundation. The concept files are well made. You have practice files and application files. In the Scholaranium, you've plenty of questions, supplemented by Analytics that tell you how much time you took, what are you strong areas, weak areas, and even the difficulty progression. Even the forums, doubt resolution is really good. I was even assigned a Strategy Expert throughout. So, all in all, I would highly recommed this course to everyone. Thank you E-Gmat.

Strengths:

Flexibility of studying and the variety of practice tools to solidify learnings

I wouldn't say online courses could help all students improve their scores significantly because that would be a false claim. In fact, my case is an example where I self-studied with books for 2 months (completely from scratch) and got 700 in my first attempt, and after learning extra with e-GMAT I still got 700 in my second attempt.

However, I would definitely stress on the difference between these 2 700 scores. In my very first attempt, I hastily rushed on the last 3-4 questions in both Verbal and Quantitative sessions, and I knew there were many random guesses throughout my Verbal one. Hence, I believe the first 700 was a complete luck.

After studying with e-GMAT, I saw their biggest strength is the structural guidance of thinking for each type of knowledge in the GMAT test. That helped me a lot on the second attempt and especially in the Verbal CR questions, where I didn't even need to rush and random guess in any question. Given the admission deadlines and current workload from my job, I am unfortunately not having enough time to re-take the test. I wish I had studied GMAT with e-GMAT earlier from last year, so that I would have had more time doing practices and more chance to score higher because I know I'm capable of.

I got to know about e-GMAT from a friend of mine when I had just started to research about GMAT prep. I hadn't looked at any material till then and luckily, didn't need to after as well. e-GMAT was a perfect match for me mainly because of how structured its course structure is.

I found the verbal section of the course the most helpful and I spent considerable time on it (about 2 months).
I started with Sentence Correction (SC) as it was a clear lacking point in the only Mock I had given prior to taking the course. (First SigmaX Mock - 540 Q40 V24). Evidently, I needed to improve drastically in both verbal and quant. The e-GMAT course helped in just that.

The depth to which the SC course was taught was incredible. The core skills such as identifying grammatical errors, understanding meaning, and answer choices analysis got firmly built due to the course. The Critical Reasoning section was equally thorough. I started solving OG questions after going through the entire verbal e-GMAT course and found all the questions pretty doable mainly becuase of the core skills and concepts learned in the course. One can safely assume to tackle even the toughest or the trickiest verbal questions accurately if one goes through the whole verbal course meticulously.

The Quant section helped with that extra nudge required during the last few weeks of my prep. I studied specific sub-topics from the course where I thought my speed was lacking and that helped a lot in the actual exam.

Overall e-GMAT was undoubtedly instrumental in helping me achieve a decent score of 720 (Q49 V38) on my first attempt. The thing that helped me the most was not getting distracted by multiple study sources/strategies. I stuck to one study schedule without distortion and gave it all while executing it.

I enrolled for eGMAT after extensive research on all major prep providers.

eGMAT's Verbal supremacy clearly stood out in reviews and it was evident throughout my course as well.

Started off with a 670 in my first mock, and after 2 months of intense focus on verbal and quant I was able to improve this to 710-730 across mocks and eventually a 720 on the actual exam.

In-depth concept videos, a massive repository of questions and easily accessible support from experts really helped ease off the preparation stress.
Thanks especially to my strategy expert Abha Mohan who was extremely helpful during the Last Mile Program to ensure I bridge some key gaps in my preparation. Her detailed performance analysis, tailored preparation pointers and consistent mentorship in the final few weeks were some of the key factors that helped me with score improvement. She stayed invested in my progress throughout the LMP and leveraged platform analytics extensively to make sure my verbal foundation was strengthened.

Would highly recommend the course!

After deciding to give the GMAT Exam in April 2022 , I decided to study through the OG and the material available on the internet . Though I was able to solve Quant questions but Verbal was giving me nightmares specially the under confidence in SC questions. In June 2022 , I attended free webinars on SC, CR and RC sections organised by e-GMAT and was impressed by its approach to the verbal section.

Finally, with less than 30 days of my GMAT exam date , I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared to give my shot at the GMAT EXAM . But the reality shook me hard when I gave the mock on the EGMAT platform and scored a mere 620 with Q48 and V27 . I was disheartened , and immediately seeked support of EGMAT team . They were very considerate and assigned me a mentor , who came as a saviour to me . My mentor Abha Mohan , helped me charting a structured approach of targeting my exam . She gave me a schedule , task list to be completed wherein every task had to be completed in sequence , no hopping over ( which was the mistake I was doing earlier in my self prep ) .
The Egmat approach to verbal Section is top notch . The ‘meaning based approach’ tremendously helps you in attempting the toughest of questions.
. The CR section emphasises the ‘pre-thinking’ approach. The RC section teaches you ways to effectively read a GMAT passage, focussing on the bigger picture without getting bogged down into the details . The EGMAT approach of RC helps you to understand the passage very well and saves you time from jumping back and forth to look into the passage for every question( mind you this approach helps save a lot of time) . It takes time to master it but once you do , RC becomes a lot less time consuming .

Another important part of EGMAT course are the cementing quizzes. The structured approach of attempting the cementing quizzes gradually progresses you towards to your targeted ability. The Sigma - X mocks match the actual GMAT exam to a very good extent .

In the end, I would like to highlight the importance of sticking to the process. Believe in the process taught in the modules and no matter what do not change your process while under pressure during the test.

The process helped me in achieving a major 11 point jump in verbal in just 25 days and I obtained a 700 Score ( q48 v38) in actual GMAT exam. A major 80 point jump to my mock score.

This would not have been possible without support and motivation of my mentor Abha Mohan . She had been a constant support through my journey , very quick in responding to my queries and resolving them .

I would also like to thank Rajat and Payal for the awesome Platform they have created and also the entire EGMAT team who work tirelessly to provide quality GMAT Prep to students worldwide.

I decided to join eGMAT course when I scored only 640 (V25 Q50) in dec'21. Obviously, I cancelled my score. At this point, I understood that I needed to change my preparation strategy, mainly in the verbal section.

For Sentence Correction, the meaning-based approach is the real game changer. Even though I did not manage to get all SC correct under 90 seconds per question, I improved overall accuracy and planned to sacrifice few questions at the end of the verbal section (It is a risky strategy but somehow worked for me). My real intention was to get the first 20 questions right at any cost.

For Critical reasoning, approach for assumption, evaluation and boldface questions was very useful. My boldface question horror story ended immediately after starting CR module. (Pre-think was never my cup of tea and I relied solely on process of elimination)

For Reading comprehension, I watched two video links of recorded live classes by Harsha. He did not say anything new or fancy, but whenever I struggled in RC, I watched these two videos.
Finally, Thanks to Kanupriya who guided me during the course. She analyzed my weak areas and assigned tasks on daily basis to attack the low hanging fruits (I do not know why like this term, but I like it).

Being a non-native speaker, it was never an easy task for me to get a decent verbal score on the GMAT exam. With the strategical approach of eGMAT, I got a score of V36 (from V25).

In 2021, I decided to work towards pursuing an MBA to accelerate and grow in my career. This is when I started to prepare and give the GMAT entrance exam.

After taking guidance and suggestions from a lot of people, I believed that I can self-study my way through this exam. I solved the original guides and questions from many other free resources. I was fairly able to cope up in all the sections except the Verbal section. Specifically, my sentence correction was very weak.

In my first two attempts, I got a 660 (Attempt1 - Q50/V30; Attempt2 - Q51/V28). After my first attempt, I was shocked since I scored above 700 in nearly all my mocks. I thought that maybe it was just a bad day and gave another attempt within a month. I was devastated to see similar result.

After taking a break to focus on some personal commitments, I gathered courage and decided to give one last push. I realized that I had to do something different to improve my Verbal score. After a lot of research, I came across the E-GMAT course. The reviews were fantastic.

I signed up for this course strictly to improve my Verbal. After going through the course I realized that all the shortcuts I learnt from free materials were absolutely inapplicable to the difficult questions. E-GMAT's unique meaning-based approach is actually what is essential to crack the Verbal section. I learnt the importance of understanding the meaning before evaluating the options and grammar part of sentence correction questions. I realized that there are no proven shortcuts for solving difficult sentence correction questions. Yes, it initially took me 3 to 4 minutes to solve each question but slowly with ample practice through the quizzes and scholaranium's question bank helped me improve speed as well as accuracy. I first focused to improve accuracy, and then focused to improve speed. After being comfortable with my speed and accuracy through practice questions and Sigma-X mocks , I was finally confident enough to take the actual test. I felt a lot more comfortable while solving the verbal questions and landed a 10 point increment (from V28 to V38). I comparatively fell slightly in Quants section, but nevertheless landed a 710 (Q49/V38/IR8/AWA5)!

To summarize, E-GMAT helped me realize and work on the following three aspects which helped me finally cross the 700 mark:
1) Comprehending trumps Grammar - Just applying grammar rules without understanding the meaning will not help you solve the 700 level questions correctly
2) Accuracy trumps speed - If you are not able to get questions correct initially, your score will drop even if you solve the questions at a fast pace.
3) Official mocks are outdated and easier - I am sorry to break this to you. Although official mocks are the closest in terms of exam environment and scoring algorithm, it is much easier than the actual exam you will take. This is because the mocks are old, and candidates on average have improved on solving difficult questions because of which the level of actual GMAT is higher than the official mocks. E-GMAT's Sigma mocks maybe slightly lengthy, but the difficulty level is pretty much what you will face in the actual exam.

Once again, thank you E-GMAT for devising this fantastic course and helping students like me to channelize our efforts in the right direction for achieving our dream score!

I started my GMAT preparation in May 2022. After reviewing a few of the online courses and after consulting with my seniors who have aced GMAT before, I enrolled for the 4-month course at E-GMAT on 5 May 2022. I gave my 1st Sigma-X Mock Test and scored a 700 (Q-47, V-38).
I was quite elated with the score and thought that a little practice in verbal will help me improve my score to 720+.
I prepared a Personalised Study plan in the E-GMAT portal with the aim to complete the course within 1.5 months. I was supposed to study for 2 hrs on weekdays and 4/5 hrs on weekends
However, working in an essential service sector has its own problems. With extended work hours and extra duties, I could not dedicate more than 1 hr to preparation in the initial days and I could complete much less than I planned in the 1st one month.
I realised that only studying at night after returning from office will not help me. Hence, I decided to study for 1 hour in the morning before going to office and study for 1 hr after returning. I realised that this was a much more effective technique.
The Verbal module at E-GMAT is very structured and concept-wise exhaustive. I followed the recommended study plan for the entire verbal module. It was quite effective and I would suggest everyone to follow the recommended path and not jump around among the topics.
The path I followed was Master Comprehension, Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, and then Reading comprehension. What’s important is to complete and solidify the concepts of each Topic before moving to the next one. Hence after completing the concept files, application files, and practice files, complete the cementing quizzes (1 Medium and 2 Hard) before moving to the next topic.
The techniques taught for Verbal at E- GMAT such as Pause points for comprehension, Pre-thinking for Critical Reasoning, and Meaning-based approach for Sentence correction really help to ace the verbal questions irrespective of the difficulty levels.
Since I scored high in quants in my 1st mock and being from an engineering background, I thought quants will be quite easy for me. However, soon I realised that being out of touch with Maths for around 6 yrs has impacted the agility and confidence with which I used to solve math problems. I realised that there were some concepts that require some policing. The PACE system in Quants helped me in this regard. From my performance in the initial evaluation quizzes for each topic, it identified the modules that I can skip and those I have to go through. This saved a lot of time. The difficulty level of harder quant problems at E- GMAT was a bit more than the actual test. Hence it helps us prepare better for the actual tests.
I took the other Sigma-X Mock Tests and scored 670-720. However, in the official mocks I scored 740 & 750.
It took my 1st official GMAT test and scored 700 (Q 46, V 40).
I was a bit disappointed with the result, considering the high scores I got in the Official Mocks.
I approached E-GMAT for guidance and they inducted me in their Last Mile Program (LMP) program. Mrs. Abha Mohan, one of their experts, made a thorough analysis of my ESR report and prepared a customised plan for me with milestones and timelines, and guided me through my journey. She guided me to identify the areas I have scope for improvement and advised me the topics that I should revise and even provided additional study materials. She prepared customised exam plans and even gave me mental support during times I got panicky and worked up during the preparation time. The entire E-GMAT team was also kind enough to provide me free access to the entire portal for around 2 weeks during my last leg of preparation.
I gave my second GMAT test on 20 November 2022 and scored a 740 (Q51, V38).
I owe my success to the entire team of E-GMAT. Without their support, this wouldn’t have been possible.

I enrolled for eGMAT when I was in a need of structured content for verbal, specially, for sentence correction. eGMAT’s learning content was not just limited to the theoretical concepts but it focussed majorly on the application of concepts and this approach helped me to solve SC questions confidently. The approach to solve RC passage questions is also very effective and helps to save a lot of time in the hard passages & eliminate the wrong answer choices.

I gave my first attempt just after recovering from COVID & hence, I could sense that it was not a good attempt. Just after my first attempt, I was introduced to the last mile program. It was because of the extensive study plans and the cementing quizzes that I was able to gain confidence in verbal & improve my accuracy in hard questions as well.

After two attempts in a span of 4 months, getting a V39 in my third attempt with score of 690 (V39 Q47) gave me a sigh of relief as I was able to improve my score in verbal from V29 to V39 solely because of the mentorship received in LMP along with the eGMAT content. Improving my quant score wasn’t a challenge but certainly a task to complete.

While preparing for my fourth attempt, my strategy expert, Akash was very supportive and he even replied to my late-night emails on holidays too! He not only guided me on time management, but also focussed on small external things which might affect my performance and he ensured that I am well accustomed to that environment by replicating the same during my mocks. On the exam day, I was extremely elated to see a score of 710 (V36, Q49) and I knew that it would not have been possible without Akash & eGMAT team’s guidance & program.

Here are my takeaways from e-GMAT’s course:

1. Massive improvement in verbal concepts and skills. e-GMAT’s meaning based approach helped me to strengthen the concepts as well as the application of these concepts in a timed environment.

2. High focus on quizzes– I was able to solve 700+ level questions in verbal because of the consistent practice of questions on eGMAT that tested each & every concept.

3. Last Mile Program – The strategies & last-minute tips that Akash provided ensured that I remained calm and confident during my final attempt.

I would rate this course the best that I have come across during my preparation for gmat. It goes completely to the credit of this course content that I could score a 720 ( q50, v38). The verbal content has been put out beautifully and the strategies suggested by the course can totally be relied upon. The SC module of the course was my personal favourite in the course. The best part is one need not look outside for any other material as this is all encompassing. Just follow the process and you would be great. The mentorship provided by the course is also very good wherein the response is quick and direction is right. I was assigned akshay agarwal, who guided me through the process and made it a smooth ride. Also the sigma c micks have been accurately designed to predict where actually you stand and the analytics can be utilized effectively concentrate in the right direction. Once again, a highly recommended course for someone aspiring above 700.
