I gave my first GMAT test in July and i got 490, the score disappointed me a lot. It made me doubt my preparation. To be honest I was overconfident and did not prepare well initially. I had bought egmat 5 months online course in April 2022 but i did not use it in correct way at all. I just used the course to practice questions more and more without actually understanding the process behind each type of questions which impacted me a lot during my GMAT.

After my first GMAT, I took time to clear my head regarding the doubts I had on myself. Once I cleared everything I extended my egmat course for one month and started preparing for min 2 hours everyday. Egmat verbal course was really helpful, it trained me in how to read a RC, how to think in CR and what all i look for in SC. I felt the verbal section of course has covered every inch of the topic and with lot of dedication and preparation this course really helped me to get a good score in verbal.

I havent used e-gmat quant course at all because I have always been very strong in quant. So i cannot comment on the quality of the quant section of the course. But what i can say is that the range of questions they have in Quant is very
extensive in terms of quality and quantity.

1 week before the exam I took 2 mocks from sigma-X mock tests. My mocks score were less. I got around 580-590 I panicked but I remember that during a egmat free SC seminar Mr. Rajat and Ms Payal has told that error analysis is very important. So I took my mocks and analysed every question that is when I realised that in all the verbal questions my thinking process was correct but either I was overthinking or I was misreading the option and choosing the wrong option. This error analysis made my realise that my basics are strong I just have to concentrate more on rejecting the wrong options. So, for the last week I concentrated on my option analysis and basics only and looked at my previous mocks and questions I answered.

On Oct 24,2022 i retook GMAT exam and I got 680. I am very grateful to each and everyoneof e-GMAT team who designed the verbal course.

I chose E-GMAT primarily due to it's proven ability to improve verbal ability as I had many read many other reviews. In my previous attempt my weakest section was SC, however the master-comprehension and process skill approach employed in E-GMAT really helps eliminate any uncertainty. I felt that the first step of always understanding the overall message and identifying key elements helped across all three sections of Verbal.

My RC strategy also changed after using E-GMAT were one thorough read of the passage was enough to answer all subsequent questions except in the case of questions with respect to specific details which at times required revisiting the passage. The focus on understanding each element of the passage plays a big role in critical reasoning. There are many traps in CR that will be missed if you rush through without understanding the overall message as a single word can make a huge difference.

I found the E-GMAT quant course to be adequate and found some of the problems utilized to be extremely long and cumbersome. Such questions in my opinion are rarely tested in the exam and it throws off your time management abilities. However, there is a lot of depth in the concepts that are taught but if the questions could resemble more of GMAT -style questions it would be much better.

Overall E-GMAT has a great verbal course and provides support throughout the preparation process with the help of the strategy experts.

I narrowed down on e-GMAT for my GMAT prep based on their fantastic reviews on GMAT club and having spoken to a few friends of mine who recommended it. I found the course very well structured. There is a well laid out path to get to a very good ability level in each section. I would say the course material (such as concept videos and quizzes) overall is very good, although it does take quite a bit of time to get through the whole course (that being said, there are ways to actually personalise the course material at various points based on your current abilities, which I thought was quite helpful).

The course feature that I was most impressed with is the Scholaranium. This is an extremely well designed platform which provides numerous questions within each section, along with amazing data analytics which, when used in the right way, can really help you improve your performance. The quality of the questions is really good. In my personal opinion, I felt that the difficulty level of many questions in the scholaranium is at par or sometimes even above the difficulty level on the actual exam. So I would suggest do not get disheartened if you don’t see yourself scoring very well on each test/quiz. Just trust the process and put in the effort consistently. The data analytics provided within the scholaranium platform is top notch! It goes into a great level of detail, so you can actually identify which specific area you are really faltering in and then work on that area. For me personally, these features really helped improve my abilities.

Overall, I am happy that I gave e-GMAT a shot and would happily suggest it to anyone who is starting their GMAT prep journey. The Verbal modules in particular are very good. Quant is also very good, although I used both e-GMAT and Target Test Prep (which has flexible one month plans) for my quant prep, so thanks to both of them! In the end, all I would say is that don’t just assume this course is a magic wand that will given you your target score (i.e. don’t assume just by completing the course material you can attain your target). A lot of it has to do with how diligent you are in tracking your progress, doing detailed (strategic) reviews of your errors and finding out where you went wrong, maintaining a detailed error log (I cannot stress the importance of this point just enough!), mastering time management and so on. The course will help you with almost all these aspects in one way or the other, but it is up to you how you make the best use of it.

Finally, thanks to the entire team behind e-GMAT (especially all the subject experts) for helping me get to my target score.

I am glad that I took the e-GMAT course for my preparation since the beginning.
1. Course structure:
The best thing that I personally liked about the course is the structure that is followed. It really helps in not only grasping the concepts but also retaining them. Verbal section was specially the game changer.

2. Course content:
The course has sound content and it covers it in an interconnected manner, enabling better understanding of the concepts as a whole.

3. Mentorship:
This has been the game changer for me after my first attempt. The team was very responsive and supportive till the day of exam. A special mention to my coach Rashmi who really helped me identify & rectify errors, specially in verbal section.

4. Scholaranium:
I think this is has been the heart of the course for me. With diverse range of question (from easy to difficult), there is enough volume of questions to lay your hand on. The best part is the analysis provided on a topic/quiz level, specially the so-called 'takt time' really helped in realising the speed as well as accuracy & necessary focus areas to improve upon.

My Gmat journey started in 2021 when I decided to pursue an MBA course. Started my prep work by myself the first time and worked hard for 6 months but could recieve a score of only 660. I decided to work on my gaps and gave the test again in 2 months but unfortunately, got the exact same sub-sectional scores in both Quant and Verbal and only a 10 point improvement.

The gap in my self preparation was a lack of structure. I used to focus on the weak areas, improve that and lose track of the components that I had already built ability in. Meanwhile, I focussed little if anything at all on Quant, focussing all my energy on Verbal.

Thats why when I was explained the structured approach of e-GMAT on a call with one of the representatives, I decided that is what I needed- A structured, logically formulated course in which I just need to practice diligence and do as Im told.

Thus, my 3rd attempt at the GMAT journey began in April and because of the previous effort I had put in improving my Verbal skills, the first 2 months of the course seemed quite a breeze in comparison to the Quant section.

Quant learning was made easy by the very systematic concept files and application files in each chapter of the section. The learnings were then reinforced in the practice files and skills files. The cementing quizes would then test my ability in each section and highlight the weak points giving various indicators of the existing gaps that needed work.

All of this effort was made super easy by my mentor Rida Shafeek who guided me through every step and gave me the confidence that I lacked in myself. I was also given special attention by Shweta - quant expert who took the efforts to teach my the importance of maintaining and analysing an error log and therefore the magic of strategic review. I felt considerably more confident in the quant section upon putting in all the effort.

In the end, during the final month of the prep, I signed up for the Last Mile Program where I was given more attention by Rida and was taken through every step of the way in my test readiness process. The 5 diagnostic tests were a roller coaster ride for me since I did not manage to score consistently well on all the tests. But I was given assurance repeatedly by Rida that all other indicators in my preparation led to mean that I had the ability to achieve the score I wanted.

The result, I came out of the exam hall with a considerable increase in my score - 660 - 670 to finally a 700.

Your GMAT success depends on how skilled you are at applying your conceptual knowledge under stringent time constraints. If you wish to ace a test such as GMAT, you must learn the fundamentals by heart.
e-GMAT has created an excellent portal where you can learn these fundamentals in detail using concept files and application files, test your learnings through practice files and scholaranium, and analyze your progress through intelligent data analytics.
The structured and detailed SC course helped me improve my writing to such an extent that none of my superiors ever called me to ask what I was trying to say in the documents or an email.
The CR course emphasizes the concept of pre-thinking. Knowing what you are looking for before you start searching. It helped me boost my ability to crack difficult questions in the minimal possible time.
The emphasis on identifying and correctly interpreting ‘keywords’ helped me improve my comprehension speed significantly.
The diagnostic test feature of the e-GMAT quant course helped me save time significantly as I am pretty good with maths.
Apart from course content and structure, the support I received from my Mentor, Rashmi, was like icing on the cake. She helped me identify the critical areas of improvement and provided me with the right resources to achieve the goal. I am glad that I got a chance to work with her.
In conclusion, I can say that you can trust e-GMAT for your GMAT journey. Their course is designed to teach you the fundamentals that will not only help you ace the GMAT but also will come in handy in life later.

I worked with Abha Mohan from the eGMAT team for my GMAT preparation. I had taken the exam before and was planning to retake it to see if I can further improve my verbal score. Given that I was applying in Round 1, I had a deadline and despite this, Abha came up with the best plan possible to improve my verbal skills. During our time, Abha helped me identify my weak concepts and improve them through Scholaranium. I found it especially helpful that I could build tests (easy, medium, difficult) on concepts that I needed to retain and improve. Having target metrics from eGMAT on how much I needed to score on each of these tests helped me keep track of my progress.
In addition, Abha stayed in communication throughout my prep to monitor my progress and iterate on the structured plan that she had laid out.

While I couldn't end up improving my verbal score, I'm thankful to Abha and eGMAT team for the support I received during this process. I knew I gave it my all and I couldn't have done it without their support and resources. Thank you eGMAT team!

I decided to purchase the e-GMAT Online focused course a few days before new year's day and I have to say that I am more than happy with my decision. I don't think I would have been able to reach the score of 730 without their support, especially in the verbal section in which I improved from a V31 in my first mock to a V40 in my last attempt.

Although the course material, in my humble opinion, is sufficient enough for one to reach a score of 700+, the personalized support provided by the e-GMAT experts is what helps you push your score to a 720+.

The expert assigned in my case, Rashmi, always came up with an in-depth analysis of my performance on the scholaranium platform and precisely pinpointed my weaknesses. I was also given a follow-up about what improvement steps were to be followed and how to go about them, which really helped. Also, just to let you know, their arsenal of improvement steps never runs out :)

Hope this brief review helps you to choose your perfect course. Good luck!

Hello Everyone!

Some of my learnings through my GMAT journey with eGMAT are listed below:
- [ ] For most working professionals, You’ll have to be on your toes to get the work done. Your energy levels are very important and you must preserve them during your study hours, mock attempts and beyond.
- [ ] Absorb the ‘Structured Approach’ and make it second nature. The sooner you’ll do so, the sooner you’ll achieve a better takt time, the time it takes for a correct attempt. Once you have your concepts in place, refining these process application steps is the only way you’ll reach the 36th question with some time in hand. The better you comprehend, the better you’ll sail through each sub section, be that be of Verbal or Quant.
- [ ] The art of letting go: If only we were taught how to attempt exams, many would have thrived playing on their strengths and taking minimum harms elsewhere. Though GMAT score depends on your performance on each sub-section, after surpassing a cumulative difficulty level, let data of your past attempts and your intuition(general comfort level) with a question guide you on making strategical skips. After all, it’s about finishing your section attempt with Hard questions. Don’t get attached too much to a question or you’ll never even get to read the last few questions.
- [ ] Error log importance : Quality over Quantity. Maximum learning is extracted while reviewing your mistakes. In the crucial minutes after mocks or simple tests, which leave you exhausted, do review questions in which you took too long to finalise a choice, in which you weren’t able to eliminate the choices per your reasoning skills, in which you weren’t able to comprehend the meaning, etc. Remember, if you dig deep enough, it’s always lack of a diligent and intentional shift in comprehension that results in an unsure attempt. Read the above sentence again.
- [ ] Seeing them as Life skills : critical thinking, active prediction, finding main points, sentence level comprehension, short circuiting details. I respect this exam for the skills it has helped me engender. Your level of awareness of your surroundings will be unparalleled and you just might reach to the levels of Sherlock, Dr. Gregory House and the other high functioning sociopaths who thrive on drawing inferences by observing their surroundings.
- [ ] Make it purpose of your life, but only for a continuous stretch of 4/5 months, otherwise it’ll hang over your head like Betal. Don’t make it a ghost hanging over your head leaving you tired in your everyday life. Preserve your energy, be fierce with protecting your time, be calm and observant during your learning hours, cement the learnings and reflect on them during your ordinary hours. In a short amount of time, you might even absorb these test skills to make them life skills.
- [ ] Comprehension extracts the meaning which is core to solving each and every verbal question. As you read the sentence written as is and try to make sense out of those juggle of words, you’ll know what’s wrong and what’s correct. Use some rules+common sense to sail through. GMAT is a test of reasoning ability and not of English language. Do remember this fact.
- [ ] Hats off to Payal and Rajat for putting together such a detailed course. Each question offers multiple learnings and is designed to maximise the variety of takeaways for the user. Shraddha, Kanupriya, Stacy, Arathy and most importantly Harsha have laid out such thorough and informative explanations that one is bound to excel if they follow the words closely.
- [ ] Lastly, it was through the kind and considerate mentorship of Abha that I was able to put this exam to an interim rest. From scoring a 610 on my first mock test to 740s and 750s towards the end, I was able to significantly improve my performance through her guidance. After scoring a 640 at my first official attempt and facing extreme network instability during the second, I was a bit afraid to go over this barrier score of 640. The test readiness stage orchestrated by Abha helped me maintain my mock temperament during this official attempt to a great extent and I was able to achieve a 710. I might go for another attempt to justify the ability I have built and the time I have put into this exam. However, I wish I could have ended it sooner. Don’t let this journey turn into a vicious cycle.

All the best fellow aspirant!

Regards
Mohit
