e-GMAT GMAT Course Reviews

I toyed with the idea of signing up for GMAT (or GMAT prep course) for a reasonable amount of time before I actually took the plunge. Hence, my decision to buy E-Gmat course was not an impulsive one but a well-researched one. Moreover, this was not the only platform I explored. E-Gmat conducts quite a few free webinars on various topics in quant and verbal. I attended all those webinars and I attended free sessions offered by 2-3 other platforms as well. I found that while the other options that I explored were more focussed on providing short-cuts and so-called smart tricks to ace the GMAT, E-Gmat focussed on mastering concepts and process, an approach that appealed to me.

Why E-GMAT course stands out?

 Verbal course is extremely good. It starts with Master Comprehension which makes life easier in understanding (solving) all the sections of verbal. SC course builds concepts right from the basics and covers each area tested by GMAT comprehensively. The meaning-based approach emphasised by E-GMAT is the best to solve hard questions, which can never be answered by just knowing the grammatical rules

 Although CR does not have many concepts to master, the process of breaking down the argument into premises and conclusion and understanding the author’s reasoning behind the conclusion helps eliminate even the options which would otherwise seem very strong contenders. Pre-thinking the assumption (or strengthener / weakener) would involve some conscious effort, since natural instinct would be to jump right to the options. However, it’s worth putting in that effort because pre-thinking not only improves the accuracy but also reduces the takt time.

 Reading strategies taught right since the start of the verbal course help gain a really good understanding of the RC passages, key to answering the RC questions.

 Quant course gives all the concepts required for the test and trains us on the process which makes solving difficult questions in less than two minutes easier. E-GMAT’s quant question bank is very comprehensive and difficulty level of the questions is higher than that of the ones in the official guide or GMAT prep. Once we get used to solving harder questions, quant in the actual test turns out to be much easier.

The data points (analytics) provided by E-GMAT course are truly commendable. We get a lot of feedback on time and accuracy subsection-wise (in fact, question type-wise; eg: we know how good we are at answering assumption arguments compared to answering boldface ones). This is extremely useful in mocks. I took Sigma-X mocks and mocks offered by GMAT Prep and by third parties. While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about what we can expect from the actual exam, difficulty level, etc, we cannot analyse our performance and how we can improve. Sigma-X mocks (by E-GMAT) are top-notch in this regard. We can have a complete debrief of the mock; I did not find such kind of data in the mocks offered by other third parties (I tried 2-3 sources). So, if you are looking for mocks that are a very good replica of actual GMAT and which can tell you your areas of improvement as well as provide best possible solutions to all the questions, Sigma-X mock is your answer.

Also, the kind of support you get during the entire duration of the course is worth mentioning. A lot of doubts get clarified just by going through the existing threads and you get prompt replies from the support team for all the new queries. Moreover, the team really supports you in the last few days/ weeks leading up to the test. I reached out to the support team after my first mock after course completion. Dhananjay helped me out in analysing my key areas on improvement, suggested the kind of customized tests I need to take to overcome them, even shared video analysing my mock performance. He pointed out that time management was the main thing I need to address; I followed the schedule suggested by him and in my actual GMAT I finished verbal on time and had ample time to spare after my quant section.

Summing up, looking for an all-inclusive GMAT package that can help you prepare despite a demanding job? E-GMAT is your answer!

E-gmat contains very good content. When one has enough time to prepare then it is the best one. Each verbal topic is very well designed and in detail. I did not had enough time to go through all of it. I suggest start preparing early. There is no short cut to have nice score in Verbal section. Practicing regulary is the best way.

I liked Quant material very much. It is in short and covers all the required topics in GMAT. It is sufficient. Practicing regulary is the best way.

Taking practice test is highly recommended but not 2-3 days before the exam. Engineers shall spend more time in verbal preparation than Quant. Verbal is not at all easy.

I had done enough research to realize that for a non-native English speaker, e-GMAT was the best choice, so went ahead with the same. Fair to say, I was not disappointed.

SC: This is e-GMAT 's USP IMO. The depth and width of concepts that they cover is amazing, and I got clarity in the SC concepts. But on the higher difficulty level questions, this would have eliminated only 3 options. This is where the meaning based approach helped me. Always gauge the sentence by the meaning / logic it wants to convey, and then look for the grammatical errors in the sentence. This will reap dividends.

CR: I definitely benefitted from e-GMAT 's 3 stage approach. Identifying premises and attacking the conclusion keeping premises in mind by pre-thinking helped a lot.

RC: Full marks to e-GMAT in simplifying RC concepts. IMO, RC is just about practice. The answers are already with you in form of the passage. You have to be focused to be attentive, and be present throughout the passage. e-GMAT has good practice passages on RC

I found e-GMAT 's Scholaranium tool to be really valuable as well. It covers a good mix of easy to difficult questions, and allows you to test your skills accordingly. It helped me track my performance as well and gave me confidence that I was progressing in the right direction.

Special callout for Nava from e-GMAT when I reached out to them seeking help post my two failures in 2020. The level of detailed ESR analysis and recommendations provided by him was commendable.

I scored 660 on my 1st attempt after preparing religiously for around 4 months.
I scored very less on Verbal so I knew I had to change my strategy for Verbal. After reading reviews about EGMAT course, I decided to go with it.
I started my course in Jan but till April I only completed the SC module but then I was approached by egmat for its Mentorship
Program and that was a game changer.

I worked with Deepak and he did set daily tasks for me to complete. This strategy actually did wonders for me as now I was not alone in the journey and I was able to complete the course in next 3 months.
Deepak not only helped me to complete the course on time but also guided me how to approach the next stage that is mocks.

While I was giving mocks, Deepak not only told me my weak areas but also taught me a lot of tricks for the exam for example - how much time should I give for a question and what is the right time to skip a question and concentrate on the next,
which is very important to score good on the exam.

All in all I am thankful to EGMAT for its amazing modules and Scholaranium but I am more thankful to deepak for keeping a check on me, like a elder brother, motivating me, setting me on the right path and what not.
I can say I could have scored 720 without EGMAT because I can get the similar course somewhere else but without Deepak I could not have accomplished 720.

Thank you so much Deepak for your help.

I gave the GMAT Online exam on August 14th,2020 after a month of intense preparation and got a score of 730(Q49,V40,IR7). This was my first attempt of the GMAT exam.

While browsing online during the start of GMAT prep days, I saw that there was a free seminar on CR hosted by e-GMAT and signed up for it to compare my ability with others. I found the seminar very useful and signed up for the e GMAT online - Verbal and Quant package.

I used the e-GMAT study planner to create a 3 and a half week 11 hr a day study plan.

Math and quant came easy to me so the course was used to gain a faster/better way of solving certain problems rather than working on fundamentals. But for people that find Math hard use the course diligently.

The verbal is the section that e-GMAT really excels at. The course helps build the fundamentals, provide a way to look at SC, RC and CR with logic and meaning. The support team was really helpful with clarifying any questions or doubts I had.
I would recommend e-GMAT's verbal package for everyone trying to improve their understanding of the verbal section.
If the platform is used properly it will definitely help in boosting your score.

Trust the process and study for GMAT with the intention of trying to use the learnings at your work rather than just from an exam point of view.

There is my first time reviewing any product/ service, so you can imagine how useful E-gmat has been in my GMAT journey. They're already known for the quality of their study material, but what I'd like to point out is the kind of support extended by the team. My score had plateaued at 690, and hence I decided to approach the team to help me with the way forward.
Dhananjay(DJ) got back and did a through analysis of my ESR, clearly highlighting my weak areas and right mix of questions to practice. Extremely thankful to him for his timely intervention and constant feedback, both of which helped me make that transition from V35 to V41.

e-GMAT is my excellent partner throughout my GMAT journey - it provides me with a structured approach to break down the test into parts and pick up the parts one by one. It also emphasises a lot on cementing the knowledge you just acquired and to me this is a very scientific way of approaching an exam.

Another area that I think e-GMAT is doing great is that it has a very strong support team, I have been writing to the strategy team quite frequently and they always have good suggestions for me to adjust my progress. They also have provided detailed explanations to questions that we are not able to understand, which is quite helpful to my study too.

Hello, I got 47 on quant which was a big surprise for me as I always thought that my worst case scenario is 49. For some reason, I felt like the real gmat quant section was much harder than the official practice tests. So I signed up for e-gmat through Ashutosh. Great guy who helped me regularly with creating me detailed weekly plans and reviewed my work and progress every 3 days. I was shocked to find out how many rules I didn't know in quant especially in topics such as Number Properties. I was struggling with quant for the first time after starting the course. It's very challenging. In 3 weeks, I was able to score 50 on quant and move from 690 to 710.

I started with my GMAT journey with no basic knowledge of English Grammar and with no sense of how a sentence has to be read and E-GMAT helped me a lot to clear my base especially of SC. I value their quant section a lot and I believe that it is the best for GMAT level quant practice. My only issue was with CR, as I didn't find the questions there good and I believe that they need to work hard to make their CR as good as SC.

Overall the team is professional and wont leave your hand and will guide you and solve your doubts in best way possibe.

Hope this helps.

My GMAT journey has finally come to a pleasant end. I started my preparation in not a very organised way and with my work and family commitments on hand, I had a lot to manage around. Then I came across this beautifully designed course called e-GMAT that not only helped me bring a discipline in my studies but also helped me to actually enjoy the process. I was benefitted by not only the structure of the course but also with the regular and timely feedback and advice from the e-GMAT team which was always available to help me through my journey. Because of this tremendous resource I was able to not only increase my score but also to boost my confidence in using the English grammar correctly. A big thank you to the e-GMAT team.
