e-GMAT GMAT Course Reviews

After having bought another GMAT prep course material and not making much progress, at a serendipitous turn, i came across an e-GMAT webinar and related registration details on the Internet. I was intrigued by the great number of success stories of the course students. The focus of the webinar i attended was critical reasoning, my weakest verbal subsection. I learned about a pre-thinking, a real game-changer and was able to solve 700+ questions. I was seduced and decided to buy the course.
SC was my strongest subsection, i started at the 66th percentile, but i needed a more focused approach, not splits. As a non native speaker, i was able to improve to the 96th percentile on SC on exam day, by using the meaning approach, another competitive advantage of e-GMAT.
My final results were V40 Q48.
The laser-focused approach of the e-GMAT course is a great one. I received a great support from the whole team ( email replies within 12 hours, timing management strategies).

I had taken the GMAT twice, with both of them resulting in below par scores. I had used other methods for preparation on both these attempts. In my third attempt I decided to use the e-gmat course as it was suggested to me by my colleagues.
The egmat course was very helpful in securing a decent score. The verbal section was excellent; it provided specific methods to attempt different sections. My weak point was CR, and the pre thinking method really helped me crack it. Apart from this, schoranium from egmat had gmat like questions that were really challenging and helped with my overall thought process.
For quants, more than the questions that egmat had, it was the free access that they provided for the gmat club tests that was instrumental in me achieving Q49. Scholaranium questions seemed a bit tougher and solving them equipped me with a calmer mindset while solving actual gmat questions.
Lastly the five mock tests were really helpful in estimating my level of preparedness. The score that I got from the mock test was what I got in the actual GMAT tests.
I strongly recommend taking the egmat course especially if you are a non native english speaker looking to improve verbal as the methods are easily understandable and the quizzes will help you put them into practice.

e-GMAT has helped me immensely in achieving a great score in GMAT exam. I showed an improvement of 190 points from my initial GMAT Prep exam in which I scored 510. e-GMAT has helped me in the following ways:-

1) The Concept Files of SC, CR, RC and Quant course helped me to develop a deep understanding of the verbal and quant concepts and the Application and Practice files helped me to hone those concepts.

2) The scholaranium, with its vast question pool and analytics system, helped me to improve on my timing while attempting the questions and enabled me to identify and learn from my mistakes.

3) The Sigma X mocks are very close to the actual GMAT exam and are a very good source of practice in the actual exam environment.

I had a reasonable amount of time before my GMAT (online). I looked through a lot of reviews for the various online courses/books people use for my preparation. To gain a little more perspective, I gave some mock exams at e-GMAT, GMAT Club, ExpertsGlobal and Jamboree. I found eGMAT test solutions to be the most insightful. The Sigma-X mocks gave a clearer idea of my strengths and weaknesses. I scored 640 (Q50, V28). I decided to buy the verbal+quant package (which cost me around $350). Since my Quant scores were consistently in the 49-51 range, I allocated more time to Verbal. I completed the theory from in the eGMAT modules, which was interspersed with application quizzes. As completed each subsection (order being RC, CR, SC), I gave some ability and custom quizzes with 700+ questions to hone these skills. I gave two more Sigma-X mocks and saw decent improvement (one after completing RC, one after CR). I completed all the quizzes in the Quant section and brushed up the theory only if I scored below 80th percentile in that topic. These performance markers were great to judge my progress. The theory videos gave a clear and concise explanation with a focus on mastering the basics first. The various quizzes required me to perform repeated application of those concepts in order to gain speed. In my final Sigma-X mocks I scored 750, and 720 which shows their accuracy in predicting the score of aspirants. I would recommend their course (bundled with 5 mocks) to anyone who is looking to improve their GMAT score.

I felt everything was going in the right direction. I had completed all course material of e-GMAT, solved every question of OG, had completed and analysed multiple sectionals of GMAT Club and was scoring well in mocks. But just 11 days before my exam, I took a full length mock and made some serious blunders which could have been avoided. While wondering what I should do next, I reached out to the Support Team of e-GMAT and the very next day, fortunately, Dhanajay Lowe (DJ) got in touch with me and took the ownership of guiding me.

The fact that just 10 days before the exam, a member from e-GMAT comes forward and says, ‘I’ll help you get there’ itself speaks a lot about the attitude e-GMAT has for its students. Within 24 hours, Dhananjay organised a call and curated a customized 10-day plan of action. He created video analysis of my mocks and other quizzes and actually guided me on using the e-GMAT platform in a planned and methodical way. When you say that the expert knows it all, they actually know much more than you can gauge.

I have explored multiple course materials and quizzes online, but believe me, nothing will be able to match the content e-GMAT has on its platform. They help you customize your progress, give you a dashboard which reflects your strengths and weaknesses, create quizzes to sharpen your mettle and provide extensive explanations to every question. Though the strange fact is, you have everything in front of you but you are still oblivious of key factors that will define your score. This is where Dhananjay played the most important role in my last leg of the journey. He not only made me aware of my weaknesses but also gave me a plan of action to resolve the same. And yes, in 10 days, we saw great progress. The video analysis of my quizzes and the test readiness strategy worked wonders for me. The gruelling yet doable plan of action along with the constant feedback from Dhanajay, helped me gain confidence and put me on the right track. I was already impressed with e-GMAT course material and Scholaranium but with DJ happening at the right moment, I can guarantee there’s nothing better than e-GMAT in this industry.

Hey people I'm Sushanth.
I always thought that breaking the 700 score barrier on the GMAT wasn't something that I would be able to, but thankfully I was wrong.
As you people will notice in the details that I have mentioned as a part of this review, I had already given the GMAT once before taking up E-GMAT's Verbal Online course. I scored a 640 on my first attempt, way below what I had initially expected. The break-up was Q-48 and V-30 IR-2.
Post this, I wrote an e-mail to the E-GMAT team and decided to try their Verbal online course. A point that I was able to infer, was with respect to my performance in the critical reasoning and reading comp sections. I had performed pretty badly and hence decided to hone my verbal skills for the second attempt. I scored 710 on the second attempt,
the breakup mentioned here:- Q-50 V-36 IR-5.

Now coming to the actual crux of the matter, the E-GMAT Verbal Online Course is actually pretty good. In fact, after reading lots of negative reviews online I decided not to go for it, but post the first attempt I figured I didn't have anything to lose. The course ended up being very detailed, interactive, and well designed. It has lots of inputs and details that are really useful. I didn't really use it for SC, as I was decent with that, but instead used it to work on CR and RC. The scholaranium is a nice place to test out your comprehension of the concepts. It is customizable and has really nice questions of varying difficulty. The cementing quizzes are pretty cool too.
All of the separate SC, CR, and RC sections have concept and application files, which are really well-designed. There are pre-quizzes and post-quizzes that help you assess your comprehension of the intended concept as well.
Also, FYI I wrote the Online GMAT on my second attempt. (The Online GMAT is really nice, i.e. you don't have to go out and write the test in an environment you're not accustomed to.)
P.S.- Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the GMAT, E-GMAT's Verbal Online Course,etc.

Hi Reader,

I took the e-gmat course and found it to be extremely helpful for my gmat preparation. I first took the verbal course and then took the quant course as well. E-gmat's structured approach really helped me a lot.
1) Scholaranium: I found scholaranium and the data analytics behind it quite useful. The ability and custom quizes were quite useful in addressing the gaps in my preparation
2) Theory / Modules: I also found the modules, practice and concept quizes quite useful they helped me build a good understanding of the subject and have a strucutred approach. Sentence correction was particularly useful. Also, the ability to refer back to the modules as and when needed further helped in my practise.
3) I think e-gmat is a very good course, good value for money and the e-gmat team is always quite supportive. After my first attempt their team personally evaluated my ESR and then provided me with a strategy to improve my score. Overall I recommend e-gmat course without any reservations.

An exam in which the abundance of resources and lack of clarity regarding the syllabus often confuses the aspirants about their study plan, EGMAT becomes the perfect guide. Not only is the course very well structured, but is also crafted precisely for GMAT. While my overall experience with the course was phenomenal, the Verbal section in particular exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the course has a very quick response time (within 24 hours) to any of your queries. The live sessions offer an ever better insight into the hurdles that the test makers throw at the test takers, further making the GMAT journey even simpler for its students.

To sum up the pros:
1. Well structured;
2. Detailed and exhaustive;
3. Affordable;
4. Quick response

I might fail to keep this short because I really want everyone to know how great a job has eGMAT done. I have tried a lot of platforms to prepare for GMAT.

1.eGMAT is different in the sense that it understands the process better than anyone else. It is difficult to excel in GMAT based on intuition, eGMAT builds a whole narrative to help you approach a problem. Right from how to read a sentence to help effectively attain a step by step process to actually arrive at the right answer and reject all others on the strong ground.

2. eGMAT has done an excellent job in that their special scholarium portal not only focusses on the questions answered incorrectly but also why one spent those extra seconds even if they answered it correctly. It is a rigorous process that ultimately leads you to solve any question in a structured manner and eliminate the answer choices. 

3. The analytics is massive, you will know exactly where you need to focus and there will be a personalized email to follow these 2-3 steps to get a stronghold in your weaker sections.

4. The mock tests are beautiful. They are probably the closest to the actual GMAT.

In all, it is a brilliant package especially for people who struggle in Verbal. eGMAT's Verbal Section, Scholarium, and the Mock test series are hands down the best in the businesses out there.

GMAT Club has really helped me in clearing majority of my doubts. It is an apt platform where you can read about a variety of explanations and methods to understand the solution. Since GMAT Club provides the option of attempting the questions first and then reading the answer, it also acts as a very useful tool for practice. In Quant, the step by step explanation of answers always with the detailed concept aids in a huge way to grasp on the learnings in a better manner. The question bank of GMAT is extremely abundant. I have rarely seen any questions which are not on GMAT Club.
