GMAT 720 in ~2 months thanks to eGMAT

Hello everyone
Sharing my review for e-GMAT's course. I worked with Dhananjay (DJ) for e-GMAT for the last stretch of my preparation and it was an awesome experience throughout. I am very thankful to e-GMAT for their guidance and support.

Before joining e-GMAT, I studied by myself for around 3 months but scored only a 660. I joined e-GMAT 2 months later after another botched attempt, realizing importance of structured preparation and guidance. After I wrote the initial sigma X mock, I got advice from DJ on where exactly I was lacking- CR timing and accuracy in Quant were key issues.

E-GMAT teaching pedagogy - DJ suggested me to go through the SC and CR modules for practicing the Meaning Based Approach in SC and Pre-thinking in CR and document my errors in the 'new error logs' formats that drill down on patterns of mistakes. The verbal questions in both the modules and scholaranium are of high quality. They helped me a lot in improving my timing strategy for verbal. The custom verbal quizzes that I took were a very close representation of the actual GMAT questions. My practice of solving awfully long and complicated RC passages from scholaranium helped me tremendously on the actual GMAT.
I used Quant 2.0 with Xpert AI (Scholaranium 2.0) for practicing quant and took the cementing as well as custom quizzes as directed by DJ. The interface and quality of questions was exceptional. Although I felt at times that e-GMAT quant questions are far more difficult than those on the GMAT, they really broadened my ability to approach and solve tough questions within 2-3 minutes.

LMP Support - I was in the last mile program and DJ was my assigned mentor. He was a perfect mentor throughout my time with e-GMAT. He was available when I required his inputs and offered precise advice continuously. 2 days before my first scheduled attempt, I scored a 640 on the sigma X mock and my confidence was absolutely destroyed (I had never scored below 720 in any official mocks). I remember DJ was driving when I contacted him; he immediately recorded an advice video for me right then and there from his car and suggested I reschedule the exam by 2 weeks to polish my algebra, geometry, and CR. His prompt reply and precise advice probably saved me a precious GMAT attempt. I followed his advice to a T and my next scheduled attempt was much smoother. The test taking strategies suggested by DJ worked wonderfully as well.

Outside the actual studies, I found eGMAT team to be extremely supportive and helpful. DJ and team helped me keep myself motivated. I never had to wait long for response on my questions. This was very important to me as my job is very demanding and studies have to be concentrated in a small window during the day.

Overall, I think e-GMAT is the best available course for GMAT. Especially if you're looking for score improvement, I can say this with certainty that you can blindly choose the course.

With e-gmat, You will always get a feeling that there is someone who is with you along this beautiful journey of GMAT prep and who will go above and beyond to help you in achieving your target score.

Around the end of 2020, I gave my first diagnostic test and got a score that was nowhere close to my target score. As a result, I started my research for a good online course for the GMAT. I went through the course reviews here on GMAT club and decided to go with a full GMAT course of e-gmat. Now when I look back, It was one of the best decisions I took for my GMAT prep.

I will structure my review into 2 broad buckets:

Course Structure :

The course is beautifully structured. I started my verbal preparation with Sentence Correction and gradually moved to critical reasoning and reading comprehension. Post completing the verbal section, I utilized the quant course to brush up on my concepts and practice hard questions.

Post completing a subsection, I would start practicing questions in the Scholaranium platform. One of the key learning during my prep is that quality matters over quantity. This brings me to the second point :

Mentorship and help from the Customer Success team:

The support which I received from e-gmat team, especially the customer success team, was instrumental in breaking the 700 barrier. My interaction with Aditee was helpful in figuring out the areas where I was faltering. She helped me realize the importance of maintaining an error log and how to do a strategic review of not only the questions which I got incorrect but also the questions which I marked correctly.

Overall a big thumbs up to the entire team of e-gmat for creating this brilliant course. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve their verbal score and ace the GMAT.

Its a common misconception that solving the official guides alone will help us reach our target score. I realized it after giving a diagnostic GMAT by e-GMAT.
To reach my target score I ended up taking the e-GMAT course. Honestly, it is the best decision I had taken. The videos provided by e-GMAT really helped me build my foundation and the sectional quizzes helped me cement it.

e-GMAT Scholaranium is where I could put my learning to test and narrow down on my weak spots and work on them. The solution provided by e-GMAT for each question is amazingly helpful.

Overall what I learnt was that to prep properly solving questions correctly was not enough, we must also know why we got the question wrong and that is what e-GMAT helped me with. I highly recommend everyone to go through the e-GMAT course to reach their target score.

I purchased the e-GMAT Course (Quant and Verbal both packages) after going through a free trail version. What really set them apart from other test prep companies is the analysis provided after every Scholaranium test which helps you gauge your strengths and weaknesses.

The verbal course is phenomenal. Some reading strategies taught in the course have helped me immensely through the journey. Quant questions are good for practise.

Coming to the Sigma-X mock tests - I scored a 700 in the fifth and the last mock which is very close to my actual GMAT score of 710. Dhananjay (DJ) mentored me during the final phase of my preparation. The kind of dedication that he and others at e-GMAT show is remarkable! Thank you for being a part of my jouney.

I would highly rate e-GMAT's Online 360 product.

I subscribed to e-GMAT's Verbal course in September 2020. I did so because the material I was using for Verbal prior to this purchase was not helping me much. After researching on the available products for Verbal, I narrowed down to e-GMAT's product. It was around this time that I also wanted to give my first GMAT exam. I only practised the SC course on the e-GMAT platform prior to my first attempt because of paucity of time. I scored a 650 (Q47, V33) on my first attempt with the following percentiles in Verbal: SC - 81st %ile, RC - 66th %ile and CR - 33rd %ile.

At this moment I realised the need to focus on Verbal. Before doing so I wrote to the strategy team at e-GMAT, explaining to them my situation and detailing the need for inputs for my preparation. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a swift response from the team. They put me in touch with one of their strategy experts - Dhananjay Lowe (DJ).

While I was skeptical about how my conversation with DJ would transpire, he put me at ease from the get go. Side note: If you are a lover of puns, there is no better person worth the company. After our initial conversation by mail, DJ provided me with a 6-minute analysis of my ESR. I was pleasantly surprised by this gesture for I assumed that I would get a generic response. After going through the video, DJ suggested a 5-day plan to get me back into my study routine. Since I was comparatively good with SC, the first task was to consolidate my performance in SC by taking a few Cementing quizzes on e-GMAT's Scholaranium platform. These quizzes helped me apply the correct process of understanding the meaning of the sentence to solve SC questions. This aspect is important because while it is possible to solve SC questions without understanding the sentence's meaning on easy/ medium-level questions, it becomes impossible to solve those hard-level questions without understanding what the author intends to communicate.

This brings me to the USP of e-GMAT: One of the key areas that e-GMAT focuses on is "Approaches" to solve Verbal problems. For instance, in SC, e-GMAT uses the 'Meaning-based' approach and in CR, it uses the 'Pre-thinking' approach. These approaches remain the same irrespective of the difficulty-level of problems. This is where the charm of these approaches kicks in because irrespective of how hard a question is, the process to answering the question remains the same.

Accordingly, I completed the CR course and its associated modules. Each of these modules has a pre-assessment quiz and a post-assessment quiz to gauge one's ability. These quizzes helped me because they threw light on aspects that I was consistently faltering at. Moreover, each of the attempted questions has a detailed analysis of how to 'approach' the question, and in turn, answer it. This guided interface was invaluable to my preparation. After completion, I took the cementing quizzes to gauge my ability-level for CR before moving on to RC and following a similar process. It is worthwhile to mention that while all of this was happening, DJ and I would send check-in mails to each other. By the end of it, we had exchanged more than 200 email conversations - mind you, this is without being enrolled in any additional program for which I had to pay additional charges.

While preparing for SC and CR, DJ also suggested that I maintain an Error Log. Until then, I hadn't prepared one for Verbal. This suggestion was pivotal to my preparation because it became handy for me to keep revisiting my Error Log. It helped me refresh my concepts and pointed me to common pitfalls that I must consciously avoid. This was possible because of the two-types of Revision that e-GMAT suggests for incorrect questions in the Cementing phase - Revision A and B. e-GMAT suggests how to strategically review each of the questions that one has attempted to ensure that one gathers maximum learning from the questions. This approach works two-fold: First, it avoids the need to constantly solve questions (just to boost one's ego); and second, it helps one to reflect, consolidate learning and then move on.

Once I completed my Verbal preparation after 3 months into this process, I took the Sigma-X mock. To my dismay, I scored a 510 (Unsure of the split, perhaps Q31 and V31). As you can imagine, I was deflated. At the same time, I knew this score was an outlier because I hadn't touched Quant in those 3 months. My bigger concern was my Verbal score which was reduced by two points (from my first Official GMAT exam). I then wrote a panic email to DJ. He replied saying, "Quant is not something we should bother about because we've only been focussing on Verbal. But, yes. Verbal score is a concern. I would've expected you to be in the higher 30s range." Nevertheless, he suggested that I follow the process and revise my Error Log for Verbal. In the meantime he enquired if I wanted to purchase the Quant package. I accepted because I trusted DJ with his inputs and the assistance he was offering.

Thus started my Quant preparation. It was an arduous task completing all the modules. But, in hindsight, going through the grind is what brought solidity to my Quant preparation. The most important aspect to tackling Quant is having a 'structure' to the preparation and e-GMAT provided me with that 'structure'. The modules in e-GMAT platform ensured that even the smallest of chinks in my Quant armour was identified and strengthened.

If you're still reading this review, now is a good time to steer away a bit and help you exercise your brain: Let's say I ask you the formula for calculating Simple Interest, if you answer I = (PRT/100), where P = Principal, R = Annual rate of interest, and T = Time in years, then good on you. What if I asked you the formula for Compound Interest? If you jump up the seat and say, = P(1+(R/n*100))^nT, where n = Compounding period, then well, you are incorrect because the expression, P(1+(R/n*100))^nT gives you the Total Amount (A). Hence, the interest I = A - P. These were the nuances that I previously did not understand that e-GMAT helped me comprehend with much clarity. Each of the e-GMAT modules is well designed to give this conceptual clarity for all topics. In addition, the Quant course also ensures that we apply 'Process skills' to solve problems. These skills are important because, at times, it's not our inability to apply concepts, but our incapability to retain certain question imposed constraints, such as not considering all cases, not correctly translating the question prompt, etc. that prevent us from getting to the correct answer. Each question on the portal and its associated explanation illustrates the usage of concepts and process skills. When these two aspects - Concepts and Process skills - became second-nature to me, I gained the confidence to tackle Quant without much difficulty.

Around this time DJ helped me upgrade from Scholaranium 1.0 platform to a Scholaranium 2.0 (Schol. 2.0) platform. On having used Scholaranium. 1.0 platform previously, I was privy to both these platforms and their differences. For one, the Schol 2.0 platform is AI driven. It shows you a detailed analysis of your performance in each quiz, mapping how well you performed in each question as compared to your peers, the time taken by you compared to the median time taken by others, presence of any luck-factor while you solved questions/ questions in which you paced fast without giving enough time, etc. These features helped me readily analyse my performance and start off with the next steps.

Once I completed both Quant and Verbal courses on the e-GMAT platform, DJ suggested that I give the Test Readiness (TR) quizzes. He laid out a comprehensive plan for me on the number of topic-wise questions that I should attempt in each quiz, and the accuracy that I must target. He also told me to write to him after each quiz to ensure that I'm track to doing the right set of things - revising concepts, reviewing Error Logs, etc. These TR quizzes helped me gradually transition from answering quizzes that contained 10 questions to answering full length quizzes (31 questions for Quant and 35 questions for Verbal). Performing well in each of the quizzes became important and DJ ensured that I didn't lose steam in the process. Through these quizzes, he helped me fix glaring 'timing issues' and identified areas that required extra attention.

Once I satisfactorily completed the TR quizzes for both Quant and Verbal, I took my second Sigma X mock after 5 months (since my first Sigma X mock) and scored a 690 (Q49, V38). DJ then enrolled me into his Mentoring program for more nuanced inputs. We then had a conversation about my performance on my mock. For instance, in Verbal, DJ helped me identify that I was faltering in RC, while in Quant, he helped me identify that I was faltering in Algebra and Geometry. He then suggested the next steps to fix these issues to ensure improvement my performance on my next mock. After implementing these suggestions, a week later, in my GMATPrep Official Mock, I scored a 730 (Q50, V38). Two days later I gave my Official GMAT and scored a 730 (Q49, V41).

The past year or so has been challenging. However, in hindsight, it has been worth it. A major reason for my performance has to do with e-GMAT Test prep products and the tireless back-end team that always responds to queries. Special thanks to DJ - the mentor who helped me all the way through, Stacey and Shraddha - the SC experts who answer all queries with crisp and concise explanations on the e-GMAT forum and not to forget Harshvardhan - the CR and RC expert who tirelessly gives exhaustive responses on the e-GMAT forum. A big fan of these folks! While these are the people that I have named, there are countless experts that have played an instrumental role in my preparation behind the scenes! Heartfelt gratitude. :)

Rise and fall and rise again - From a 680 to 610 to 720!

Since my applicant pool (Male, Engineer, Indian) is a very competitive one, I knew a score of 630 wouldn't get me anywhere. I read a lot of reviews about different courses, but after watching several debriefs on Youtube, I decided to go ahead with e-gmat. I had a long call with Dhruv, their customer representative and he highlighted the fallacies in my approach to questions and the lack of a strategy/concrete study plan which is absolutely essential to ensure a good score. Post the diagnostic mock, I was quickly connected with an SME who analysed my performance and formulated a study plan for me -
Big Wins -
1. The Master comprehension course sets you up with the correct reading strategies and pause points. It may seem slightly boring at first, but this course sets the foundation for newer techniques introduced in further modules/
2. The Sentence Correction course - The meaning based approach triumphs all grammar rules - and this is emphasized by the course at every nook and corner. The answer explanations are extremely lucid and you can always contest these explanations in the "Ask an Expert" section.
3. The Last Mile Program - This was extremely beneficial for me. Post my mock performances (and overall performance in the quizzes), I was offered to be a part of this program. The program helps you in working on bulleted weaknesses such as "SC questions with modifiers". Your mentor creates a hyper-specific plan to cater to your weaknesses. This was a huge part of my preparation since I had fallen from scoring a 680 in my first attempt (GMAT at the test center) to a 610. Despite such a huge drop in my scores, I was not abandoned by my mentor and we continued to identify and iron out my weaknesses till the very end.
4. Team's support - e-gmat's team are very prompt in replying to your queries. So if you ever get stuck anywhere during your preparation (low scores on cementing quizzes, custom quizzes or mock tests) do not continue attempting more questions. Write to the team about where you are facing a problem and they will get back to you with a good solution. There will be times when you feel hopeless or lost. You can write to them during such times as well. Just make sure to be proactive and keep in touch with the team.
5. Advanced Topics and Word Problems modules in Quant - I started with a Q47 and I had consistently scored Q49/50/51 in the mocks leading to my last attempt. Despite that, I loved the Advanced topics module (esp the Arrangements with constraints) and the Word problems (the variety of profit, loss and Simple/Compound Interest questions)
6. Strategic Review of error logs - Learning from your mistakes supported by data. You will be expected to delve into the reasons why you made such mistakes. Maintaining an error log along with Strategic review does way more than attempting two extra quizzes. I learnt a lot more and gained conceptual clarity by revising and re-revising my error logs.

E-gmat is the way to go if you're unsure of what you need to do to get to your dream score. Just follow their steps, and be proactive!

I took a 2 month course of E-GMAT after a disappointing score of 630 in my first GMAT attempt. I was surprised at the level of detailing Egmat has done for SC and the strategies for CR! I didn't even know what I was missing until I completed all the Egmat Verbal Modules. These modules really cleared many of doubts and helped me think better and quicker.
Thanks to Egmat I improved my score by 70 points in 2 months and managed to get a 700 (Q50,V34) from a 630 (Q50, V25). Egmat also has a good collection of Quant questions for practice and if one masters those, the quant questions in actual GMAT test will seem relatively easy.
All in all, a much recommended course!

Dear Abhinav,

Thank you for being a part of the eGMAT family. Congratulations on your 700.

I must say that the level of diligence you put, balancing your job and familial responsibilities with your prep, was extraordinary. You are a source of great motivation for people giving the GMAT at a later stage of their career given you had stayed away from studies for over a decade before we started working together!

Your determination to imbibe the Meaning-based Approach in SC led to your success on the Verbal section too. I am glad you stuck with the process and never gave up.

Take care and keep up the good work!

Regards,
Atreya

For a person who is willing to put in the extra effort, E-Gmat is the perfect match. Was Fully satisfied with the quality of course, especially the Verbal Course. Recieved hyper specific plan for myself and was completely satisfied with the personal attention given by Harsha and Archit.

Especially grateful to Stacey for the in depth analysis and the kind of correction in directional approach she followed.
E-Gmat was really helpful throughout the way and the Sigma MockX Tests, Scholaranium 2.0 and Personalised study plan were the final bits which completed my GMAT journey.
When I started with E-Gmat I had heard that such platforms offering pre-recorded videos fail to capture the personalisation aspect in students, however, E-Gmat proved these misconceptions wrong. The level of statistical personalisation I got was fantastic. The team could pin point each and every nook and corner of possibilities in concept confusion. They use data to plan your entire journey and they do it well!
The team at E-Gmat was especially very helpful throughout the journey. There was a hyper specific SC Improvement plan which was made for me with special focus on areas within SC such as Modifiers and Parallelism. The plan was instrumental in improving my SC Accuracy from 55% to 95% in less than 2 weeks!
The team took special efforts to help me out when I reached out to them. They made a roadmap specifically for me, gave me analysis of every aspect of the Test including time expense analysis and exam taking strategies.
The SIGMA-X mocks offered by the team are extremely accurate and on the spot in terms of helping out with pinpointing fault lines in preparation and direction. Further, the team pinpointed their takeaways of the mock performance in Custom Videos.
I even received special help and attention from Harsha, Stacey and Archit.
Super satisfied. A must recommend for anyone doing GMAT.

Before I say much about the E-Gmat course, I will give a brief account of my current circumstances to provide better understanding about how the E-Gmat course was well suited for me. I am a working professional with almost 9 years of experience. The reason I mention this is that I had not given a standardized test for almost 9 years. Hence, getting back into the game and striving to get a score needed a lot of effort since I had forgotten most of my high school mathematics and didn’t have the sharpness of a younger mind. Moreover, I have a full time job so I needed to make time for preparation on top of my professional and personal commitments. This may not be such a big deal for many but since I was starting from scratch on a lot of the GMAT concepts, this meant a great deal of cognitive flexibility on my part to come out of my professional “work life” mode and into my ‘test taker” mode.

In my opinion, this is where the real strength of e-Gmat lies. e-Gmat is a course that is ideal to suit an online preparation format. Right from the system architecture to the feedback methods and various analytical tools provided, the system was perfect for me since I could not give fixed times of study every day. The advantages of online preparation are the flexibility with time and pace of the courses and e-GMAT executes this perfectly.

Firstly, the e-GMAT course material is designed in such a way that it tests your prowess in all the GMAT concepts from time to time to save as much time in preparation as possible. Always take the test, whether they are diagnostic tests, practice quizzes, application files… etc. The e-GMAT system is designed in a way that rewards success in the course by reducing the time spent on concepts we are aware and rewards failure by making sure the concepts we are weak in get sufficient attention. This is very evident from the Quant portion of the e-GMAT system.

The Verbal section of the e-GMAT system is quite unique. e-GMAT’s meaning based approach to SC is definitely the best in the market. It brings all the concepts of grammar, logic, and vocabulary together in a concise and precise manner and all the application files make sure that we understand and apply this method well.

The RC method is a bit lengthy I feel. The whole idea of making summaries is worthwhile but seems a bit time consuming in the exam environment. I feel this aspect needs a lot of practice from the student’s side. Although in all honesty, this approach did help me get out of my totally blank approach to RC.

This brings us to CR, the real mindbender. While e-GMAT advocates an effective method of pre-thinking, its application though challenging is fine-tuned by Scholaranium. I think Scholaranium is a wonderful tool which provides a lot of good feedback for the student. No one is perfect at Scholaranium so do not expect perfect green bars with 90 percentiles in everything. It’s a tool improve score. Hence, use it extensively, attend to the weak areas again and again. That’s what Scholaranium is there to do, build foundations out of failures.

Finally, the Sigma X mock tests are quite accurate in their representation of the GMAT. In all honesty, my GMAT experience was quite humbling. At the start, we are all heroes in our own stories. Hence, we believe that we are infallible and expect 800 right off the bat. The Sigma X mock tests helped me come back to reality and understand the challenge but the analytics behind them was the real help which showed me how to take a successful test. I think what many students fail to grasp is that the GMAT is more of a test of planning your failures rather than concentrating on your successes. This is what the Sigma X mock tests can catch and show well through its data analytics.

Overall, the e-GMAT course is definitely the best for an online mode of preparation. It was the best for me with my busy schedule and numerous activities. Finally, I would say it was a marvelous experience and a joyful journey. Thank you for all the help, e-GMAT team.

e-GMAT Verbal Comes To Rescue | Quant 2.0 Lives Upto Its Promise

My tryst with GMAT began less than 6 months back. I was not confused with which training program to opt for as I have been around friends who spoke very highly of e-GMAT and dedicated their scores to its Verbal course. I immediately signed up, and I took up their Quant course as well since I saw that their Quant 2.0 xPERT AI promised a score of Q49+ for those with the ability. The following paragraphs aim to highlight the specific reasons why and ways in which e-GMAT has worked for me and is sure to work for most non-native speakers of English.

Though my entire education has been in the English language, as would be the case with most people who pursue GMAT, it was important to know that my control over the language is quite different from that of an average American professional. With that in mind, I started the e-GMAT course with a Sigma-X Mock Test and scored a 640 (V33, Q45). I reached out to the support team and they shared a Personalised Study Plan (PSP) with me, taking into account my starting sub-sectional scores across Verbal and Quant, and the amount of daily time I was willing to dedicate to the preparation. Note that one does not have to do this to get an effective PSP in place - the website is built with a feature where one can create their own PSP by inputting the aforementioned data.

e-GMAT broke down Sentence Correction modules quite effectively and the course was structured in a very non-intimidating way. I did not have to deal with any complicated / complex grammatical terms that most other courses use. e-GMAT helped me approach SC questions in a very simplified way. The meaning based approach that they teach works every single time. Furthermore, the in-house of team of experts offer video solutions to most questions and that is pure gold. They take the time to dissect the question stem, effectively identify the errors and carefully eliminate misleading answer choices. I owe my SC ability entirely to e-GMAT's approach and video-solutions.

CR has always been a difficult sub section for me to get through. I realised that one's abilities need not be high in all sub sections to score in the 90th percentile (overall) on the test. If the ability is high in all other sub sections, then a 90th percentile is possible by ensuring that the ability is reasonably good in the weak sub section. My improvement would not have been possible without e-GMAT's "Pre-Thinking" approach to literally all CR question types. Every question in the course takes the time to effectively teach this approach. Once you get a hang of it, it becomes hard wired and intuitive while solving any CR question. It makes you a better thinker for life!

The reading strategies that e-GMAT teaches are crucial for a good RC score. I would not have been able to perform well in RC had I not religiously followed these reading strategies. They also build your confidence to deal with any passage irrespective of what it speaks about. As an Engineer, I was uncomfortable with Humanities passages. As an Indian, I was uncomfortable with passages based on American Politics. I could effectively deal with both types by following the strategies taught by e-GMAT.

Coming to Quant, I don't think there is any other course out there that gives you hyper specific data on your performance on quizzes and tells you what to takeaway from it. The difficulty level of e-GMAT's quant is reasonably high and rightly so. Neither the OG nor the Official Mocks are a true representation of the difficulty level one faces in the real test, at a Q49-51 level. The course is built in such a way that there are summary slides for every concept in every sub section so that the student can revise specific areas efficiently instead of spending excess time in redoing modules.

Sigma X Mocks are a very accurate representation of one's abilities. The Official Mocks usually have a 30-40 point error margin but the Sigma X Mocks have a 20 point margin only. Further, Sigma X Mocks pretty much simulate data in an ESR fashion, with specific data across sub sections and overall too. Pro tip: hide the per question timer on the Sigma X Mocks as the main exam does not have it. This tip will help you manage time better - a crucial factor that can give or take 20 points on the overall score.

MOST IMPORTANTLY - I have to thank Archit who was my mentor in the LMT (last mile training) program. e-GMAT chooses who to take in in this program, based on the student's dedication and performance across quizzes and Sigma X Mocks. Archit was super patient with me and helped me draft specific cementing plans that helped me bridge the gap in CR. He was my go-to person for everything related to the GMAT. Archit also helped me prepare for IR and AWA with some essential pro tips without which I could not have scored perfectly in these two sections.
Having this one person to consult with and be answerable to has definitely helped me work through day-to-day targets and pick myself up on days when I felt demotivated or defeated. Many, many thanks to e-GMAT for building this program!

TLDR: e-GMAT is the best test preparation program out there. My satisfaction level is through the roof and I would not change a thing if I were given the opportunity to do so. Be diligent and hardworking, and e-GMAT will incentivise you with the LMT program. Once that happens, you can be sure that you will score in the 90th percentile. Special mention to Rajat, Payal, Harsha, Shraddha & Stacy for the super insightful webinars they host on YouTube (they are free to attend for anyone).
