Strengths:

I really liked how the verbal section is structured. The SC sub-section focuses on a meaning-based approach which really helped me to increase my accuracy to 80+%ile. This approach further helps as the difficulty of the questions increases. The pre-thinking approach in CR was a game-changer for me, wherein the course instils the process skill required to pre-think weakener/strengthener etc and this approach helps to eliminate the incorrect options quickly. The RC subsection focuses on strategies required to ace complex RC passages on the GMAT such as focussed-Reading strategies. The QUANT course although a little too hard, covers each and every topic in detail and provides ample practice on every sub-topic. The Pace AI further helped me to skip topics which I was already comfortable with. The scholaranium is a very good tool created to practice questions to improve and the detailed topic-wise split really helps to analyse the faltering points.

I really liked the mentorship help that I received from e-GMAT. My mentor was Mr. Dhruv Joshi. He was really helpful throughout my GMAT journey. He was always prompt in replying whenever I needed any help. He gave me guided improvement plans to follow. The help I received from my mentor helped me tremendously in achieving the score. After my 2nd attempt. I was deeply demotivated as I was unable to achieve my target score. I had almost given up the thought of getting a chance at my dream B-school. However, Dhruv assured me that the target score was possible with the right strategy and effort. I followed the plans shared by him and I was able to see the improvements.
I would like to thank e-GMAT team for helping me reach my target score.

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.

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 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).

e-GMAT's verbal course and curriculum are unparalleled. It has the most comprehensive and exhaustive set of grammar, CR,RC & SC rules you'll need for a GMAT verbal section. I particularly liked the CR and the SC course, and I could see and measure my improvement in VR Scores after taking the course! Their website has many custom quiz options one can take to gauge their ability, accuracy and test readiness. For Quant, I felt that the platform had questions that were probably a little more difficult and complicated than the OG questions. But one can go through their quant course too to review all the concepts and formulae in one place. Cheers to Abha @ eGMAT for helping me throughout the prep period. I would highly recommend eGMAT esp. for Verbal improvement.

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.

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 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!

Last Mile Push Review and Support:
I reached out to e-GMAT when I was not able to get my target score on my first attempt. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience with e-GMAT prep even though I was not able to get the target score improvement.
The first thing I would highlight is my e-GMAT mentor Rashmi's support throughout my prep. She was always approachable, provided me with detailed guidance on my focus areas, and drew up comprehensive test-readiness programs which prepared me for the GMAT. Her encouraging words and attitude kept me focused on the prep and GMAT.

e-GMAT's platform is also very user-friendly. I appreciated the ability to review the questions I got wrong or struggled with, and the prompt analytics which gave me immediate feedback on my areas of improvement.

On the course itself:
Quant:
I liked the quant course. I would rate it a little harder than the actual exam, as though I struggled with some hard questions on e-GMAT, my ability on the test was significantly better. That said, I like the in-depth approach to the topics, the PACE alternative to skip over the courses I was comfortable with, and I can say it really helped me improve my Algebra and Geometry ability.

Verbal
The verbal course was comprehensive and made me master CR and SC. I definitely came away from the course with a better clarity on how to approach the CR , SC and RC sections as the GMAT is a lot about test taking ability rather than pure understanding sometimes. That said, I would rate the verbal course to be easier than the actual attempt. Caveat is my limited experience, but I scored 42+ consistently on the course and was unable to convert this on actual test day.

Areas of improvement:
I feel the verbal course can be improved, especially on RC and SC.

Overall, keep up the good work! And thanks for the help.
