I signed up for the e-gmat course after hearing good reviews from one of my friend, who had taken the course. After attempting one free official test (in which I scored 570), I realized that I needed to really improve my verbal score. The verbal course material was really comprehensive and made me develop a very logical approach to solving verbal questions. I believe, that one of the most important element that e-gmat taught me in verbal was the section. which helps you to understand, how to read strategically in the verbal section of GMAT. This really helped me to improve my score from 550 to 710 in my first attempt.
From my sigma mock-X scores, Payal reached out to me to tell me that she saw good potential in me and told me that if I needed, she could help me with a personal tutor without any additional cost – Rida, who would help me plan my study in the limited time I had. This really helped me to push the boundaries further and I was scoring in the 750's in official mocks. With the e-gmat team's help, i was further able to push my GMAT score to 730.

I am really great-full to e-gmat team for helping me with my gmat journey. I recommend e-gmat to all the fellow aspirants. e-gmat helps build a logical and structured approach, which really makes the difference and helps you tackle the GMAT with great confidence

The e-GMAT, popular for their reviews, ratings can get anyone's attention.

I used this course for 6 months but couldn't score more than 620 (V-25).

Positive: They cover SC to the depths. Once I remembered all the rules, exceptions, figuring out any SC error was easy. pre-thinking was good technique.

Negative: I felt bad with their responses as well. Found them little arrogant in dealing with my problems. Sometimes things can't be explained on e-mails, they should learn this. When thinking of course, I was able to connect with them on video call but when I was stuck with same score, there was no one.
RC is not well designed. GMATNinja's video are far better than the RC part of the course.

Overall, it may work for someone or may not but I wouldn't recommend anyone to blindly get trapped in ratings etc game. Do speak to fellow students and figure out.
Applies to all other courses out there.

Hi folks,

I signed up for the e-gmat course after hearing good reviews from co-workers. After attempting one of the free official practice papers and the sigma X mock, I realized that I needed to seek help with the Verbal section. The personalized study program at e-gmat validated the same. The verbal course material was really comprehensive and made me confident that I had exhaustively covered all topics.
Soon, I was reached out by Payal suggesting me to work with an e-gmat mentor – Rashmi, who would help me plan my study in the limited time I had. The analytics provided by the Scholarium platform coupled with Rashmi’s feedback facilitated me to cement my weak areas.

I was struggling with SC questions, where my approach was primarily rule based. E-gmat’s meaning based approach allowed me to not only reduce my attempt time but also improve accuracy. Finally, strategically planned mocks helped me become more confident about my skills, something really important for the final exam.
I am thankful to e-gmat, especially Rashmi, for helping me prepare better for GMAT.

Following is a brief timeline for your reference:
1st Free Sigma X Mock – 29th May 2022 – Score 710 (Q48, V38)
Plan Purchased – 5th June 2022
Mock 2 – 30th June 2022 – Score 700 (Q49, V36)
Mock 3 (After LMP – Last Mile Push program) – 11th Sep 2022 – Score 750 (Q50,V41)
Mock 4 – 14th Sep 2022 – Score 710 (Q50, V36)
GMAT – 16th Sep 2022 – Score 720 (Q50, V37)

I scored a 720, which was a 240-point improvement from my first cold mock.

Here's the stuff eGMAT is doing very well:

1. Concepts are covered right from scratch, assuming the student doesn't know anything about anything. That's a good thing because I used to make a lot of conceptual mistakes in the quant section and an overview helped me iron those out.

2. The website is flawless. Everything is easy to find and access, subsections are divided in a logical manner, and I don't remember the portal malfunctioning even once in 6 months.

3. There are a lot of people involved in the doubt-clearing process. Every question on the portal has a solution, and there are thousands of questions. Doubts are cleared within 12-24 hours and are on-point most of the time.

4. The cementing process is much more important than it sounds if you're stuck in a subsection and can't seem to get better even after a lot of practice.

5. Verbal preparation is tremendous, especially when you actually follow what they say. The 'meaning-based approach' that eGMAT follows is by far the best way to handle CR questions with 90%+ accuracy.

6. The feedback process is fast and helpful. An analytics engine tracks every single question you've attempted on the portal and assesses your accuracy for you. When you want to find out where you went wrong, not only can you search for subsection errors (SC, CR, ALG), but also subtopic errors (modifier, assumption).

7. The Last Mile Push Program is a godsend for the last few weeks before the final day. If you get selected for it (or buy the thing), you get an expert who accurately analyses where you can improve and creates an action plan for you to follow. Every day.

8. There's a one-month extension option too, which is great for all of us who are bad at managing time :)

There's also some room for improvement.

1. Scholaranium questions could be more accurate, difficulty-wise. I've found that OG questions are a lot easier, especially on a high difficulty level, than the ones on Scholaranium, although this could be by design. I found that I was consistently scoring higher on OG questions than on Scholaranium for both sections.

Overall, I think eGMAT is definitely worth a shot.

I started my Gmat journey in August 2021 with a score of 720 (Q50 V38) . Quant was decently strong for me to begin with. However, SC and RC were a real struggle.

Fast forward to June 2022 I enrolled in eGmat course mainly for Verbal. The meaning based approach for SC and the overall modular structure of Verbal was really impressive. Also, the Scholarium dashboard provides deep insights into the areas that can be improved, the "low hanging fruits". Scholarium helped me gauge my weighted accuracy (Easy,Medium,Hard) at 70%. The PreThinking approach in CR was essential to identify patterns and to improve accuracy and ability to solve Hard 700+ level questions.

The SigmaX mocks are very close to official mocks and give a detailed review of sub-sectional performances, including optimal timing indicator. I scored a v39 in first mock and a v43 in the second mock. On my actual test day I scored a v40 , in the range indicated by sigma x mocks.

egmat Verbal is very well balanced for anyone aspiring to crack the Gmat.

What e-gmat gives you is an easy-to-follow structure. All you need to do is to follow the step by step plan and stick to the process. You will be constantly practicing the meaning based approach in SC and pre-thinking in CR and somewhat in RC as well.
The PACE system allows you to solve a lot of time in preparing your Quant preparation. The analytics based approach to identify each of the strengths and weaknesses in each of the different sub-sections has truly been of immense help to me.
The constant motivation from the team, the constant support in terms of not only identifying the weaknesses but also providing a methodology to tackle those weaknesses have been the highlight for me and will surely help anyone from any background who's willing to put the time.
Thank you egmat.

E-Gmat provides the most exhaustive test prep material in the whole industry and I have seen the prep material of Magoosh and Gmat Whiz as well. The quality of course material whether it be of verbal or of quant is excellent and the Scholaranium is a real gold mine. The only thing missing is personalisation. I might not have gotten a great score out of it but I would really recommend it to everyone out there if they really want to gain fundamentals on how to ace GMAT. Their strategy and lectures on algebra are extremely helpful and thus you can absolutely trust on e-gmat for your GMAT prep journey.

I have read several stories on this forum for the past two years - every one of them have helped me carve my path; This post is NOT a story about someone who scored an amazing score in her/his first attempt, instead it is about someone who struggled her way to a 730 score. I will try to keep it as informative and to the point as possible.

As I started my GMAT journey Verbal was my main concern, however, after exploring some materials and attempting few mocks I came to realise that though my Quantitative ability was strong my test taking strategies were not up to the mark, acting as a roadblock to a high score. After studying several GMAT Official and GMAT Club materials, I could improve my Quantitative score to Q48 GMAT Club Quant tests: They more difficult than the actual GMAT but they prepare you to face difficult questions in GMAT) , and I still struggled with application of verbal concepts that I learned - V34 in Feb'21 was the maximum I could score at that point. Then a friend of mine suggested eGMAT - yes, I had read plenty of reviews and saw multiple ads, but you can never be sure, right? So, I signed up for a 1 month Verbal Online course in March 2021. As I progressed through the course I kept re-purchasing and then ended up taking a 6 month Verbal course with eGMAT. Here is the reason why -
• Prior to eGMAT course I was solving questions from GMAT Club, Official guide, etc. , looking for learnings, and moving to the next one. But in the eGMAT course there is an Application file, after every concept, that ensures that you go through the logical steps of solving a question. It was tiresome to follow the steps for every question, but the thought process here was one that was in sync with mine, every small little "what if?" or "but, what about?" that popped in my head was covered. So, I decided to stick to the process.

• Once I crossed the cementing stage I realised that I was not making a conscious effort to follow the steps, instead the thought process came naturally to me, hence it wasn't that time consuming anymore.

Trying to juggle GMAT prep and a very demanding high-pressure job, the time pressure took the better of me during my GMAT attempt in Nov'21 (V27). But the eGMAT team went an extra mile to follow-up and encourage me to fight back. This is the point at which I realised that eGMAT is not just about the students who do well in their first attempt but helping the ones who are struggling too. The subject matter experts and strategy experts are very approachable and involved in your journey (I always received a response from the team within 36 hrs). A big shout-out to Harsha who guided me every step of the way in terms of subject matter on RC and CR, and strategy when it comes to SC and Quant, and encouraged me to keep going. After my Nov'21 attempt I was so disappointed that during my session with Harsha I told him "I feel like I cannot get a decent score under pressure no matter how much I study". To which Harsha showed and explained to me the statistics from my tests on Scholarium that gave a comprehensive analysis of my performance on GMAT like questions and Official questions; This re-assurance about my ability encouraged me to keep going.
• I reviewed my AI guided stats on the Scholarium portal and identified that there were few aspects of Quant that could help me get that Q50+. Hence, I signed up for a full GMAT Online course and followed every step of the detailed plan suggested by Harsha and team.
o The PACE mode in Quant helped me move through the concepts quickly and focus on only the areas which required improvement
• I followed a detailed and personalised revision plan for RC and SC and a timing improvement plan for CR. These plans really helped bring structure to my preparation.

Finally, at the risk of repeating what every other post might have highlighted, it is the error log - It is painful to fill and takes much more time than the time taken to solve the questions, but it is essentially what helped me improve the most. And, eGMAT actually provides a very comprehensive error log that captures a lot of the nuances that I could've otherwise missed.
o Timing was my main concern in the test. There were two aspects of time during the exam :
1. I often ran out of time towards the end of the exam because I spent a lot of time trying to ensure I was getting each question correct.
• This stemmed from the notion that I knew the necessary concepts hence, I couldn't let a question go. Yes, letting some questions go, was the most important lesson I learned while analysing my mocks.
This is one aspect that was not stressed upon a lot during my eGMAT experience, but it came handy in my case.
2. The fact that I might run out of time at the end played in my head as soon as I got confused or started taking longer in a question - This, in turn, impacted my ability on that question.

Thus, I reviewed my error log for the 10-question set quizzes to understand when and where do I get confused, what kind of wordings in the answer choices confuse me, does it have anything to do with my understanding of the question stem or passage, etc. As I worked through these aspects, the next time I was in a similar situation I knew what to do, this helped me avoid the confusion, and as a result save time.
This video helped me understand how and where I can manage time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INmDqeVjB04

As I came close to the exam I focused on Official questions (from Official Guide and Advanced Official questions by GMAC) to practice and get accustomed to them.

By now, I was tired of preparing for GMAT, but this time around I felt confident about my ability, and honestly a positive attitude and faith in your efforts as you walk into that exam centre is as important as the months/years of effort that goes into the preparation.
And finally the score popped-up on the screen 730 (Q50 V40)!

To those who are currently fighting for that score, this quote I heard in the TV series The Good Doctor kept me going - "You haven't failed until you stop trying!". I hope my experience helps you in your GMAT journey.
All the Best! Hang in there!

sc is part where egmat excel ...they can work on their cr technique as prethinking did not suited me that well but their sc is the best in market. and quant section is also fine . but i insist on sentence correction.
if u are someone who is having trouble with sentence correction then their meaning based approach is really good as it will help you to understand tough questions.
my weakest link in my self prepration was sc and they actually help me a lot in resolving this problem .
i did not score well on test day but belive me I feel very comfortable in doing sentence correction questions

e-GMAT is one of the best courses for Verbal, in general and SC, in particular out there. In my first attempt, I was completely clueless about the kind of rules that go into solving an SC question. It was only when I took the e-gmat course, the second time around, did I understand the nuances involved in solving an SC question. It covers almost everything that you can possibly be tested on. In fact, I was confidently able to answer all the SC questions that appeared on the main day.

The scholaranium is also a great platform to practice questions on. In fact, the e-gmat questions are really close in structure to the official questions, something that I found lacking in a few other GMAT courses. This really helps in building a strong base to answer questions on the main day.

If anyone is struggling with SC at the moment, I would definitely recommend taking up the e-gmat course.
