Strengths:

Course material is a strength
Their Support team is very resourceful

Would make the product better:

The verbal section needs AI.
Support team can be proactive in asking if their students have difficulties
I didnt talk to the support team until i had severe difficulties.I would've probably done the prep faster if the support team were in constant touch with me since the very start instead of waiting for me to ask for help

The links that are sent to Us when we ask for help should be readily available in our dashboard
ie- for trouble in Verbal watch this video on visualisation by harsha
It will help a lot of students

I had a score improvement of 130 points.
I went from being super weak in verbal from v22 to v35
The main USP is the help/support
I suggest everyone to be in constant touch with the egmat support team.Talk to them atleast once a week and ask them for tips and vids to improve
ask them for help they are the best out there.
I was struggling with everything in verbal
I reached out to the support team in desperation they sent links to videos which helped me a lot.

All i want to say to people reading this is
Make sure you give yourself adequate time for prep
I thought i would complete my prep in 2 months but actually felt like i was never prepared
Finally even though i still felt like i needed more time
I just booked a date and gave the exam

You dont need to be perfect at the first try
Please dont think the way i did
I thought i will first perfect myself and then book the exam date.This led me to go in to a downward spiral where i was prepping day in and day out without any foreseeable date.
Just book the exam date and give it
You can iterate on it if you feel like you need better

Strengths:

Nice concept building. Detailed course

Would make the product better:

Mentor guidance was an issue for me. My mentor was not assigned to me in the starting. Only when i sent them mails during my last leg of preparation i was given a mentor. She too only gave tasks and never had a call with me

With many online courses available it is very important to get enrolled in one which is inline with your thought process.
One of the best feature about Egmat is the video solutions for almost all the questions. They have a detailed course available with them. One can easily build a solid foundation with their course.
What lacked for me was the exam readiness preparation from their side. On comparing the ESR from my attempt to my Egmat dashboard, things did not match. I knew of my strengths and my weaknesses which was not the same on their dashboard but quite inline with my ESR.
This is why i would urge each student to take up the free trail given by different courses and see if they are actually inline with your thinking process.

Strengths:

- Well-structured course plan
- Decent price/value ratio
- Consultant - Rida Shafeek who was willing to schedule call with me very fast and gave a lot of quick tips and motivated me when I felt down and needed to improve rapidly in 20 days
- Very fast responses of instructors in discussions

Would make the product better:

- Length of some video courses. Sometimes the instructor went too much in detail (e.g. devoted a 17-minute video) with relatively easy and obvious topics

- Inaccurate calibration of easy, medium, hard questions. When I turned on some custom test and selected medium questions - it also gave me some easy and hard ones...

- In Verbal sections some correct answer choices were very poorly defended by instructors in discussion queries. However, this does not happen often.

Overall satisfied with this product.

Strengths:

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

Would make the product better:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Strengths:

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

Would make the product better:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Strengths:

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

Would make the product better:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Strengths:

e-GMAT platform has tons of resources to practice (lecture exercises, practice test and mocks) and cement your knowledge of each section.

Would make the product better:

With all the resources available, you may get lost if you are not familiar with the platform. Also, tutoring services are currently not available to all students.

After studying by myself for almost a year, I did not see any improvements on my verbal score. Luckily, I started to take tutoring session with Abhishek who patiently identified my gaps and walk me through the right strategy to solve each type of verbal questions. He was able to make me conscious about my errors and encourage me to practice in a methodic way – not quantity, but quality. When I got my first score 620 (Q44, V31), Abhishek was very supportive and made me believe a 700+ was on my reach. I truly felt he was there for me, and I am sure that I would not get my 710 (Q50, V37) without his help. The GMAT preparation is for many a long road that test your resilience. You need the right resources but most importantly you need a supportive team that will cheer for you especially when you want to give up. Abhishek was to me more than a teacher, he not only provided me with key tools for the exam but also lifted me up in numerous occasions. To anybody out there looking for a verbal tutor, I highly recommend you to get in touch with Abhishek.

Strengths:

Very nicely structured and well curated content.

Would make the product better:

A fast paced section for students who have already gone through the course multiple times so that they can revise well in the eleventh hour

eGMAT verbal course is really good for aspirants who are struggling with score improvement. I was stuck at the V27-V32 range before I came across eGMAT.

Critical reasoning and sentence correction sections of eGMAT are one of a kind. Having used multiple sources, I can say that eGMAT has all the important content that is just required to achieve a high target score.
Pre-thinking concept comes in very handy in the exam, but one needs to practice extensively to improve the timing before the exam. It greatly improved my accuracy and time/question initially. But eventually, things become second nature and one can easily see the time/question going down.

Sentence correction course will be an eye-opener to many as it highlights a lot of exemptions to the grammar rules which are applicable to the GMAT. eGMATs forum support has been amazing in giving prompt and in-depth analysis for any queries posted.

RC course is well-made for the ones that get stuck between 2 close options. eGMATs RC process will give students enormous clarity in answer choice analysis. This works wonders for people who can apply the process well but miss out on marking the correct choice. Identifying the type of incorrect answers for each and every practice question kind of drills down the concepts into you before you realise. So I think using the video course to the maximum potential will massively help you improve your score.

eGMAT saves the hard work and a lot of time for aspirants who spend time self studying and searching online for free resources. eGMAT's study plan, swift forum, mentors who communicate with you promptly can be of real help to the students. These were the factors that were critical in my score improvement from V27 to V38.

All the best.

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.

Strengths:

in depth knowledge and videos about everything you need to know about the GMAT

Would make the product better:

The verbal videos dont have a play back speed, having those and something like Pace which is implemented in the Quant section will really help out

I took the Sigma X mock and scored 370. I worked on my online study plan and started working on the Quant section for the first month and then the Verbal section in month 2. After finishing each topic I took the cementing quizzes and worked on my error logs.
Even though the error logs are lengthy can be alot of work, it is worth the effort because it actually helps you pinpoint your mistakes and shows you if there is a pattern or a topic I needed to go back and review
Overall I would recommend the course
it is well worth the money
