I used e-gmat.com to prepare for the GMAT and was incredibly impressed with the quality of their content and the effectiveness of their approach. The Verbal section specially had a very methodical approach, with clear strategies and techniques for tackling each type of question. This helped me approach the questions with more confidence and ultimately improve my performance. The pedagogy for solving SC questions were extremely effective, meaning based approach to each sentence correction really makes a lot of difference while solving medium to hard questions. The core skills such as identifying grammatical errors, understanding meaning, and answer choices analysis got firmly built due to the course. The CR part was excellent in terms of understanding the different parts of an argument, the different kinds of questions that can be asked and mainly getting to know the traps involved in official GMAT questions. eGMAT gave me an altogether different strategy in for tackling CR: “Pre thinking”, this approach has worked wonders for me. From starting with very low accuracy right to getting all of them right has been an incredible experience. The RC course was good for learning the way to understand any given passage, and increasing retention while reading anything.

I also used EGMAT for Quant, since I have been out of the academics for a long time, I needed to brush up my concepts and do the necessary practice to ensure that I am ready for the exam. The Quant section helped me immensely for enhancing my skillset and clearing my concepts on different topics.

Last but not the least, the best past of Egmat is its Scholaranium. This is an extremely welldesigned platform which provides numerous questions within each section, along with amazing data analytics which helped me improve my abilities.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with eEgmat it helped to reach my target score at my very 1st attempt. I would definitely recommend the course to the future aspirants.

Hi Reader,

Here is my long journey to a 730 GMAT score. Please bear with me! First off, I am immensely grateful for the support of e-GMAT team throughout this journey.

I started to think about the GMAT back in May 2021, and attempted the first free OG mock. I scored a 670 on the test and thought that I am at a pretty decent score and underestimated how tough it would be to improve the score. Not knowing much about the GMAT Prep space, I took a Magoosh subscription but was not impressed with it in the first few days itself. I felt that the lessons were not comprehensive enough. When I gave the second free OG mock test in the end of June, I scored a 690. I felt this was not a good enough improvement.

So I began to look for other resources on GMAT Prep. I attended a GMAT strategy session and booked a free strategy call with one of the experts. I was convinced that e-GMAT are experts in the GMAT prep space and bought the GMAT Online focused subscription. I started with Verbal and was able to witness gradual improvement across all the subsections.Thanks to e-GMAT’s cementing process, I was able to track my progress in an efficient manner.

From August ’21 to May ’22, I was not able to focus my energies on the GMAT prep due to excessive work responsibilities. Due to the extension policies set by e-GMAT (max. 90 days of account freeze allowed), I had to keep the subscription going for most of this time period. This rigid account suspension timeline is the only drawback that I have observed with e-GMAT’s subscriptions.

Starting June ’22, I was able to refocus on the GMAT prep and started revising the Verbal modules I had previously completed. I was continuously scoring better on the mocks (700, 750, 740, 760) during this period. I gave my first GMAT Online attempt in Aug '22 and scored an underwhelming 680. I was unable to understand the reason because the mock tests had indicated my score to be in the mid 700s. This is when I reached out to e-GMAT seeking help to improve my score and understand where I am lacking. I also requested to be included in e-GMAT’s Last Mile Program (LMP), wherein one of the experts from e-GMAT works 1-1 with you to help you reach your target score.

Rida from e-GMAT’s team helped me get enrolled into the LMP and we got to work immediately. She first helped me analyze what was wrong with my GMAT Online attempt, and then charted an intensive test-readiness plan for me to help my Verbal and Quant abilities. I was able to improve my abilities across the board and this was evident in my quizzes as well. She was very responsive to my queries and our regular connects to track the progress were of immense help to me. I was able to discuss any concerns or plan changes with her.

The mocks during this time period were of immense help as they helped me get into the mindset of continued focus for greater periods of time. However, there were times when I scored 680 on a particular mock, primarily due to a weak Verbal Score. To help overcome these, Rida sent some session recordings and document links that were helpful to overcome my shortcomings. I also attempted the SC ability booster sessions that were moderated by Payal, and they helped me understand my level and refine my SC ability to a great extent.

I gave the second GMAT Online attempt in Sept with a whole lot of confidence, but the result was to my utter shock! I had scored a 660, even lower than my first attempt. I was in complete disbelief as to what had just happened, but was more determined than ever to reach my target score. Rida helped me calm down, be positive and analyze the issues in the attempt. We found that I was feeling some level of performance anxiety during the attempts which was leading to suboptimal performance in the tests. We were confident on my abilities and just needed to build upon these to reach to a better score.

Also, after this attempt, the work responsibilities increased which meant that I had lesser time to dedicate to prep. So Rida helped me with an appropriate test readiness plan that could be completed in the limited time I had. I only had 2 unattempted OG mocks left that I had to use judiciously. I scored 760 on both these tests, which was a huge confidence booster for me.

Apart from the test, I also worked on developing a detached mindset and did not focus much on the score. Discussions with Rida were instrumental in this regard. We decided to have an in-person attempt this time because of the reason that it would be a much better environment to build focus rather than attempting the test at home. And sure enough, it was a good experience at the center. I was able to score a 730 on the test this time, which is much closer to my mock scores.

The last few months have been a period of hard work and persistence. And I can’t thank Rida and the e-GMAT team enough for helping me throughout this process. I am confident that these are the best people in the business for anyone who wants to excel at GMAT.

The Unique Aspects of e-GMAT that helped me:
1. PACE - PACE helped me in charting a streamlined Quant path by guiding me exactly where I need to spend my efforts.
2. Meaning-based approach for SC - Although I was already relying on the meaning before I saw this first-hand in e-GMAT, the SC modules in e-GMAT helped me use this approach along with identifying the correct grammar and this led to immense improvement of SC scores.
3. Pre-thinking approach for RC and CR - The pre-thinking process has been a game changer for me. Earlier, I used to read the question and directly jump to the option choices. However, pre-thinking allows me to understand the question stem and get involved with the universe of the question. This helps me to understand what the option choices really mean. I am happy to state that my CR and RC scores have improved significantly by using this method.
4. Cementing - In my opinion, Cementing is a very unique strength of the e-GMAT program. It helps one truly gauge their ability in a particular subsection of Quant/ Verbal. It has been really helpful whenever I had to track my progress.
5. Expert support - What truly sets e-GMAT apart is that the team is relentlessly devoted to helping the students in the best way possible. These experts readily repspond to any student queries from a question doubt or strategy standpoint. I truly believe when I say that I would have been able to reach to my current level without the support of Rida and other experts at e-GMAT.
6. Compassion towards the students - I was able to share any personal circumstances that were affecting my GMAT prep with Rida, and she was able to help navigate these circumstances. Together with Rida, I was able to identify the mental (test mindset) barriers that were preventing me from obtaining a good score on the first two attempts. The e-GMAT team is truly invested in the success of the students from all angles.
7. Last Mile Program (LMP) - This program is a godsend for students who have limited time to attempt the GMAT and are already at a decent ability. In my case, I was able to move through some of the topics in a swift manner. The test readiness quizzes that were integrated into my plan were really helpful in emulating the actual test questions. Also, Rida used to share some additional Verbal resources and recordings that helped me obtain that last push for the target scores.
8. Sigma-X mock tests - Although I have not attempted any other tests other than Sigma-X mock tests and OG mock tests, I found that the questions and scoring algorithm from Sigma-X mock tests are very similar to those of OG mock tests. These were a good testing resource for me.

Although this seems like a long sponsored endorsement for e-GMAT, that is absolutely not the case :) e-GMAT’s results and stats within the GMAT Prep industry speak for themselves. Infact, my journey is not yet complete, as I am gearing for my next GMAT attempt within the next few days. Wish me Luck!!

[UPDATE]: I went for the 5th attempt and was able to score a 740!! Rida helped me focus on test readiness and exam mindset for achieving this score. The 1-1 session with Verbal SME Harsha was instrumental in improving my Verbal score.

After going through a lot of gmat courses online, I found e-gmat to be the best. The whole algorithm is excellent. They have a great course on both quant and verbal. With their help, I was able to score 680. The cementing quizzes and e-sigma mocks are very good. The questions on their scholaranium are at par with the real GMAT questions. To add to all of this, their LMP program really helped. My mentor Akash helped me throughout my preparation. He reviewed my mocks and quizzes on a daily basis and gave me proper feedbacks. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this course.

Strengths:

Process Skills for Quant, Pre-Thinking for Critical Reasoning
and clear cut unambiguous guidelines on correct sentence structure for Sentence Correction. Also, the concept of Error Logs and Cementing Quizzes.
However, the biggest strength of this product is the manner in which it endlessly prompts the student to follow a structured approach of solving questions in each of the different sections the GMAT.

Would make the product better:

The product is simply great in its current format. However, since the company itself has pampered its students by creating useful tools such as P.A.C.E. for the Quant section of test prep, the same or similar tool for Verbal would be great as well!

Unlike other exams, the GMAT is not a test of how well you can remember formulas or how quickly you can solve a question. Rather it tests the students presence of mind and their ability to correctly interpret the question itself. And this is one quality consistent across all its sections. To be able to perform well in such an exam, it is imperative to understand its nuances and to internalise certain proven strategies that streamline the way a student approaches each question on the test.

The content offered by eGMAT as part of their GMAT prep courses does just that. It solidifies the basic Math and English fundamentals and then builds upon them to convert them into GMAT level Quant and Verbal. The Process Skills taught in the Quant modules, which are essentially techniques required to break down each Quant question to isolate the relevant data, are reiterated to the point where their application becomes second nature. In such a case, even the trickiest of questions lose their complexity. Next, the Cementing Quizzes at the end of each topic help in carrying out an objective assessment of the student’s assimilation of concepts and the corresponding Error Logs brilliantly highlight areas that need additional consideration.

For the Critical Reasoning subsection of Verbal, an elaborate module on Pre-Thinking ensures ample practice to perfect this acquired skill. And the highly interactive and engaging modules on Sentence Correction successfully cover even the most dry grammar topics in a fun and indelible manner. The vast repository of examples covered in each module brings absolute clarity in the application of concepts and provides enough opportunity to the student to bridge any gaps in understanding.

The quality that sets eGMAT apart is that it does not teach its students any shortcuts or tricks to tackle GMAT questions. Instead, it equips its students with the exact tools required to decode the GMAT exam and makes the overall experience of preparation a joyous one; where the student actively seeks hard questions to both apply his learnings and get them right, and to get an opportunity to uncover another trap in case they get it wrong. For the same reason, I would highly recommend eGMAT to any student in their own GMAT journey.

Nothing to improve

eGMAT helped me improve my score from 570 to 730 in just 2 months. I started with V 34 when I initially gave the mock test, which worried me a lot. I then decided to take eGMAT having heard great reviews about it. I purchased it on 24th June but started studying properly around 1st September. I needed immense support on my Sentence Correction section, which was extremely weak for me. Payal explains the Sentence Correction process extremely well. The methods given in EGMAT were very useful to help me improve my score. I also used EGMAT for Quant, especially the Quant Scholararium, which is an extremely useful tool. If I had slightly more time, I would have used the EGMAT scholararium better which would have helped my Quant score more. The questions in EGMAT are extremely good and very much like the actual GMAT test. I am grateful to EGMAT team.

Strengths:

The videos are recorded so that they are not boring and very engaging.

Would make the product better:

I did not find anything

Overall it was very helpful as I made an improvement of 70 score points. The mocks provided give a very accurate score and help us to identify weak points to work upon. The recorded videos start from the basics, ensuring students understand the concepts well before solving questions. The mentor programme is very helpful as they give the student personalised advice according to his/her strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, GMAT has a very large question bank so the student can never run out of questions to practice. EACH TIME A MOCK IS GIVEN, ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ARE ADDED. There is also an option to customize quizzes so one can take quizzes from certain topics from questions which have been answered correctly or incorrectly or which had been bookmarked earlier. This really helps to judge whether one is repeating the mistakes already made in the past.

I recently used e-gmat.com to prepare for the GMAT and was incredibly impressed with the quality of their content and the effectiveness of their approach. The Quants section was particularly comprehensive, with a variety of practice questions and detailed explanations. This allowed me to diagnose my current skills and identify areas where I needed to improve. The Verbal section also had a very methodical approach, with clear strategies and techniques for tackling each type of question. This helped me approach the questions with more confidence and ultimately improve my performance.

One of the standout features of e-gmat.com is the support provided by their team. They were always available to answer my questions and provide personalized feedback on my progress. This was crucial to my success, as it helped me stay on track and motivated throughout my preparation.

Thanks to the e-gmat program, I was able to achieve an ability of 720 on the GMAT, which exceeded my initial expectations. I then decided to enroll in the Last Mile Push program, which provided me with dedicated mentoring support to help me further improve. This proved to be an excellent decision, as it allowed me to reach a final score of 740 (Q49, V42).

Overall, I highly recommend e-gmat.com to anyone preparing for the GMAT. Their comprehensive course material, clear and effective teaching methods, and personalized support make them the best resource available for achieving a top score on the exam. The course is designed to help you prepare for your test as best as possible and covers all the changes in the 2018 exam interface. If you're serious about improving your GMAT score, e-gmat.com is the way to go.

I joined e-gmat after finishing another GMAT in-person course from an organization. After I had finished my first coaching and attempted an official mock, the results were shocking. Not only was the study material far from the required concepts, the methods used to teach were very generic and rudimentary.
GMAT is an adaptive test, and with the algorithm the test is based on, one must be prepared to:
- Handle questions by applying relevant concepts
- Have a pacing-strategy in place
- Nurture the correct mind-set
These 3 points are the most basic requirements, and E-gmat gives just the right appreciation to there importance. After following the steps prescribed by the course and the mentors, I was able to score as high as:
- 780 and 760 in official mocks
- 760 in SIGMA-X mock
- 720 in my official attempt

THE COURSE:
E-gmat is, hands-down, one of the most targeted courses available anywhere in India and online. The subject matter taught is entirely relevant and not at all redundant. In fact, the course ensures that the needs of people from varied starting points are catered to. I belong to a non-math background and felt extremely lost as I proceeded with my initial coaching classes. But the Quant course of E-gmat walked me through the most basic concepts and made me reach complex concepts so fluently that I managed to score a Q50 in every Official Mock I took. Cementing Quiz feature especially comes in-handy to give you a realistic, non-starry check of your performance, which is an under-rated but super-important requirement for one’s journey.

MY ADVICE: While the course does an amazing job in laying down all the concepts, it is also imperative that you keep on revising the taught concepts by re-visiting the concept/application files. It is your responsibility to ensure that you make the most out of the course. The course is a powerful weapon if you know how to use it.
Further, the verbal course, especially verbal SC, is very comprehensive. I loved how the course teaches the way to read given sentences with a goal in mind (meaning analysis for SC and logic analysis for CR and RC).

ERROR LOGS: The course also provides ready-to-use error logs, another great feature that keeps you focused and targeted. The logs make you question where you went wrong, for instance- sometimes, I’d know the concept to be used but could not translate what was asked in a timed environment; using the error logs made my job easier as I knew that I did not need to go back to the concepts but only focus on not rushing through reading the question stem. Your only responsibility while filling up these logs is to be honest with yourself, and the more honest you are with yourself, the faster you will sail as you’d know the exact area that requires fixing.

THE TEAM (MENTORS):
- The forum: Makes the course journey personalized. Queries are answered within 24 hours. The responses are provided by qualified professionals and are extremely reliable. The forum discussion threads make you look a given problem form multiple facets and reach to the root of your concern.

- Strategy Experts: There are so many highlights of the course, but this is perhaps the one that shines the brightest. You can mail and seek guidance from strategy experts of e-gmat. There were multiple mentors that helped me throughout the journey and gave me workable insights and I am thankful to all of them.

Kanupriya Sharma was my main mentor throughout. I just loved how Kanupriya ma’am hand-held and guided me through my journey and always motivated me to only focus how I can improve. It is because of her efforts in providing me with the required plans that I was able to bag such an amazing score. Dhruv Joshi also helped me considerably during the last phase of my journey by providing me with the right content and areas to focus on and by providing a real of view of my progress.

THE STEPS TO SUCCESS:
Completing the course is, as the people at e-gmat would say, not sufficient in itself to ace the test. The three main pointers I mentioned above are no cake-walk and need to be nurtured with time. Thus, consistent revisions, cementing quizzes, test-readiness and mocks are all important to score well. If you, for any reason, don’t follow the given path, you run the risk of falling off-track, a result that can cost you time.

I highly recommend this specific course after having experienced other prep company courses. E-GMAT is one of the best course available for GMAT prep today.
