I had attempted GMAT a prior to taking up e-GMAT's offerings, and could not break past the 720 mark in prior attempts. The e-GMAT platform helped me get to 760 in the matter of a few months.

e-GMAT changed the game for me - their lectures were super insightful and very easy to follow and retain concepts. I really liked the course on SC which really helped me solidify these concepts. The application files and review files which feature between various concepts ensures that you retain what you've learned.

e-GMAT also teaches a strategic review process which is one the most sophisticated forms of maintaining an error log. Strategic review is what really helped me improve on my mistakes and build confidence as I answered problems in their Scholaranium (which has a very good and large set of questions).

The last piece I would like to highlight is the mentorship - they assigned me Atreya Roy who was supremely helpful in guiding me through the process. The mentorship program helped me analyze my tests and quizzes with a fine tooth comb and identify concept gaps at a sub-topic level. He also helped me 'break out of a rut' every time I faced roadblocks by suggesting various targeted exercises. I also really appreciate the motivation and support provided by these mentors - really helps ride through pre-exam anxiety.

All in all - I have recommended e-GMAT to all my peers who have faced similar issues with GMAT, and are looking to improve their score by 50-60 points.

E-GMAT exceeded my expectations by far. I focused on verbal part of the course to build my sentence correction skills. The course is very student friendly. The explanation of the concepts in videos is helpful to develop a foundation necessary for great verbal score. The questions are also very well formatted and very close to the questions in actual exam. I reviewed the entire sentence correction twice and every time I walked away with something new in terms of learning. I was able to identify my knowledge gap and build on the skills that were lacking. I did questions from algebra part of quant and enjoyed doing those questions too. I got personalized learning plan because I did not have enough time. That personalized plan identified my weaknesses and I was able to correct them to get to my goal score. I am very glad that I did the course. I wold highly recommend the course to anyone preparing for GMAT.

I came across E-GMAT’s course when I was struggling with CR with just a week to go for my first GMAT attempt. I got to attend a free webinar and I really loved the use of pre-thinking, a concept that I hadn’t come across before. My CR score immediately improved in just 2 days. Unfortunately, I had other skill gaps and ended up scoring only 640(Q44 V34) in my first attempt at GMAT. My prep had been very random, without any structure and I wasn't able to figure out what was going wrong and I decided to give E-GMAT a shot because I liked the way the course was structured.

Within a month of using the platform to learn and practise questions my score improved to 700 and then to 720 in my mocks and stayed there for a while. However, things didn’t go well in my second attempt too as I wasn’t mentally prepared to take the test then and I got a 660 (Q48 V33). My third attempt was just 16 days after this attempt and I was completely down but I religiously followed the strategy laid out by DJ (E-GMAT Mentor). Thankfully, everything went well and I got a 700 (Q49 V35).

Some aspects of the course that really worked for me –

# The Verbal section of the course is really good. E-GMAT emphasizes on the importance of understanding the right approach to solve questions. Whether it is the meaning-based approach in SC or pre-thinking in CR, once you understand and master the approach, the entire process of solving Verbal questions becomes more enjoyable and effective!

# One thing that I loved about their Verbal course was that it became easy to understand why the wrong answer choices were wrong. Every question and answer choice had a detailed explanation and understanding the same made it a lot easier to pick the right answer even though it might seem wrong at first. This is particularly useful when you are stuck with the last two choices, especially in 700-level questions.

# The Quant section was detailed and covered almost all the important topics with an emphasis on conceptual clarity. There are multiple quizzes in every single topic that when you finish a module you would have covered every possible type of question that could be asked and that too in a way that you become super comfortable with the topics. Again, detailed explanations for every question and answer choice helped me a lot as I needed that extra bit of understanding.
I would say that my quant score improved from 44 to 49 only because of the conceptual clarity and variety in terms of practise that I got from the course.

# My favourite part of E-GMAT is SCHOLARANIUM 2.0, their question bank with its precise analytics. It has a wide range of questions in every single topic and for each level of difficulty that enables you to get enough practise and also to get test-ready. It also has multiple types of quizzes with accurate analytics. Just observing the analytics provided there made me understand what kind of mistakes I was doing and what my weak areas were, time and again. It made my practise really easy and effective because I didn’t have to waste time on deciding what material to use, where to hunt for satisfactory explanations, analyse my error-types and weak areas - Scholaranium 2.0 was doing all of this for me. Just one thing here, make sure that you use it effectively – focus on quality over quantity.

# DJ's Mentorship - I am really thankful for the support that I got throughout my prep period from DJ (Mentor at E-GMAT). He would analyse each of my Sigma-X mocks and give a thorough de-brief of what went right and what went wrong. His suggestions and tips really made me effectively focus on areas that needed improvement. This is something I couldn’t figure out when I was prepping by myself. DJ’s support especially helped me push through the last leg when my score hit a plateau and I lost my motivation. When we figured out that I am not able to perform as effectively on the actual exam as on my mocks, he asked me a lot of questions and finally devised a strategy that would help me during the exam to stay more focused and guess what, it did!
DJ laid out weekly plans that were tailor made for my requirements and following these plans really helped break the frustrating plateau. It honestly helps to have someone guide you this way to inch towards your target score, in my opinion!

Overall, my experience with the course has been great! I used the course to the maximum extent possible and it honestly helped me finally get to 700.

If you are someone who is looking for good conceptual clarity , structure in your prep, a solid question bank with really good analytics, and constant support you can definitely consider E-GMAT.

All the very best :)

Let me take you through my GMAT preparation journey.

I took my first GMAT attempt without entirely appreciating the depth of the ocean called GMAT and rather unsurprisingly I drowned without getting close to my target.

It was a proper jolt and I quickly realized that I needed help to get over the GMAT hurdle. Thankfully by that time GMAT Club was my trusted guide and going through the GMAT Club community, looking for members who did well on the GMAT and the resources they used, the name that kept popping up was that of e-GMAT.

So I reached out to e-GMAT and my first interaction with the team was the free e-GMAT one-on-one ESR review where I was blown away by the depth of insights that the mentor was able to derive from the ESR. I went ahead and booked my subscription to the e-GMAT platform on the same day.

Thankfully, the platform was all I could hope for and more. Not only did the coursework have a lot of depth, the ample amount of application files and practice files meant that I could cement a lot of the concepts in the first phase of preparation itself.

Talking of specific courses, in Verbal CR was always my Achilles heel and the e-GMAT concepts of pre-thinking and spending more time with the question stem, properly analysing and breaking down every part of it proved to be a gamechanger for me. In addition to this, in SC understanding the meaning-based approach gave me an extra weapon in my arsenal to go along with process of elimination to deal with SC questions with more confidence.

But the most crucial value addition of the e-GMAT platform is in the Scholaranium 2.0 section. From my experience, beyond a point, most people struggle to raise their score or get out of a rut that they are caught in because they aren't able to figure out where they are going wrong and this is because they are unable to perform structured and deep-rooted analysis of their mistakes. This is where Scholaranium 2.0 comes in handy and acts as a personal guide, walking you through every mistake, every block, every topic that needs further work. The interactive charts help you map out your ability improvement across sections and sub-sections as time progresses. It tells you which kind of questions are draining most of your time and how can you go about correcting them. It really makes life as a student very convenient and answers the what and how when it comes to making improvements in prep strategy.

Besides, what sets e-GMAT apart is how responsive the mentors and experts on the platform are in responding to student queries. In my personal experience, I have never had to wait for more than 24 hours to get a response to my queries, and just the mere knowledge that there are experts ready and willing to promptly respond to your doubts and queries leads to a much more relaxed and focused prep.

So to close the loop, I would highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone who is in the GMAT prep journey and is looking for a comprehensive platform to cater to all their prep needs.

I had the opportunity to be a part of e-GMAT's LMP mentorship program. I started preparing after enrolling myself in the e-GMAT course. This itself took some time as I had to go through various demo classes by other institutes and obviously chose the best finally.

Reasons for choosing e-GMAT:
1. As a working professional, I do not have much time for attending live classes. Also, recorded classes do not make sense to me. e-GMAT 's concept file format and practice/application quiz after each concept appealed to me greatly.
2. I gave the first free sigma-x mock from e-GMAT's portal to gauge my level before starting the preparation in which I had scored 600. I approached the e-GMAT team with the same and they were very helpful in providing insights and how to proceed further.

Talking more about the course:
SC: Best in the market filled with slicing approaches. Clear and crisp meaning-based approach with zero corner cutting strategy. Each answer is explained as to why it is correct and other choices wrong. Not that it is important, but this course will help you eliminate apps like Grammarly if you have them 😊
CR: This course will truly clear the doubts in terms of logical gaps if any. The best part about CR course is its pre-thinking approach and understanding of what exactly has been asked and protects you from falling in traps which may be contextually similar but is very different from what the question demands.
RC: Honestly, this was my favorite as I feared this one the most. I have a slow reading speed. But what this course did for me is that it taught me to extract the meaning very efficiently as I read. There are multiple passage explanations which analyzes in depth why the author has written this sentence and what is the intent behind it. It actually builds your muscle memory of searching for transition words and linking the previous part to the next one that you are about to read.
Quant: The question level exactly matches of the final examination. The OG questions are somewhat easy compared to what is asked. I would recommend to at least practice the questions from the wonderfully curated Scholaranium 2.0 for quant (and of course Verbal) to improve the score.

After 3 months of preparation and finishing the Verbal and Quant portion, I went on to give my 2nd Sigma-x mock. I wrote to the e-GMAT team again for how to proceed with mock strategy. This is when Archit, an expert from the e-GMAT team approached me for the e-GMAT Mentorship program – the Last Mile Push.
Archit went through each of my mock performances and gave me suggestions of where I am exactly faltering. He went through the process of making a personalized video for me after each mock and mentioned the exact reasons for score dip. The personalized feedback of where I am lacking and what are the exact things I need to revise and focus on helped me to stay on track without losing time. Also, the insights he gave helped me to improve my sigma-x mock performances from 680 to 750 (Average score of 720 which is close to my final score)

I would surely recommend e-GMAT to any serious aspirant.

I was given told that e-gmat was the bible for GMAT verbal and it did not disappoint. Since I started my preparation with E-Gmat itself, my verbal concepts were fairly clear. The meaning based approach to sentence correction and the pre-thinking approach to CR questions proved to be an optimal technique to solve GMAT verbal questions.

I used the quant sections to brush up my maths since my undergrad course did not have a math component. It proved to be a boon for students looking to refresh their math concepts from scratch.

The best part though about the E-GMAT course was the scholaranium that provided insights into my mistakes and provide me actionable steps to improve my performance. I can't thank the E-GMAT enough for their constant encouragement and involvement to improve my score further.

I purchased the eGMAT course after my 2nd official try, in which I scored a 710 (Q48, V40). I felt I was close to my target score but not quite. After reading reviews online, I settled on eGMAT as the course to help me with my final push on what would eventually be my last official try.

eGMAT shares personalized plans on the basis of an ESR/ most recent mock test and puts you in touch with a mentor (thank you DJ!) who guides you through the process. I got a 2 week plan, with the focus in the 1st week on ironing out some kinks and the focus in the 2nd week on practicing and cementing methods. The meaning based approach in SC is very helpful and the diagnostic quizzes in each Quant module enable one to complete the course at one's pace. In my opinion, the SigmaX mocks are harder than the Official mocks and the Official exam, but it's always a good thing to be prepared for something harder than the actual version.

I got a 30 point improvement in ~2 weeks. If you stick to the plan, know your starting point and your target score, an improvement in a short span of time is possible. However, don't expect the eGMAT team to simply wave a magic wand and help you get your desired result - you will have to put in the team and your timelines to hit your target score will depend on your starting point.

I would recommend eGMAT to individuals who feel like they need external support through the GMAT journey and to those individuals who are at the last hurdle of their GMAT prep and just need to improve some processes to get to the end goal.

I got introduced to the e-GMAT platform on GMAT Club whilst I was looking for resources to help me improve my score by a couple of points to reach 99th percentile. I had used a few different test prep resources in the past but those test prep resources lacked the structure and analytics that e-GMAT provides. For the same price, e-GMAT’s course is structured in a very methodical manner, with the opportunity to receive direct mentoring and a very specific study plan suited for your target score. I have had the privilege of working directly with DJ (Dhananjay Lowe) from e-GMAT, who has been a great support so far. I remember reaching out to him a couple of months ago and received an immediate response. He laid out my strengths and weaknesses and devised an action plan for me, which made it very easy to for me to track areas I needed to work on and the level of improvement that I should be targeting.

I would also like to highlight the CR technique that is unique to e-GMAT and honestly a game changer. The pre-thinking approach, although slightly tricky to adhere to at first, ensures that your approach to CR questions is very logical and ensures a high level of success. Moreover, the e-GMAT quant course is definitely one of the best out there - the syllabus armours you with enough skills to tackle the hardest level GMAT questions. Although I thought I knew all the concepts in Quant before signing up for e-GMAT, I was surprised at the nuances in techniques and skills for different topics quant that I wasn’t even aware of before going through the e-GMAT course!

Finally, Scholaranium 2.0, e-GMAT’s interactive question bank, is definitely unparalleled when it comes to preparing in timed conditions. The topic by topic split helps you isolate your weaknesses and tackle them. The sheer number of questions and video explanations for almost all the questions show just how much effort has gone into building this and is definitely the best you can find in the market. What I also liked about e-GMAT’s question bank is the flexibility to select the topic you want to focus on that a lot of other test prep companies do not have.

The Sigma-X mocks are also slightly harder than the actual GMAT exam, and hence the perfect prepping tool given the actual Official GMAT test prep mock exams are slightly easier than the actual exam in my experience.

I do hope that more people sign up to e-GMAT as I continue to work with DJ towards my target score.

I signed up to eGMAT in April at a point when I was feeling quite lost in terms of what material to study, what should be my prep strategy etc. I had taken this course previously as well, however I could not take the full advantage of it then. I did not waste any time or energy exploring any other service providers as I knew how amazingly e-gmat taught it’s verbal content, so I went ahead with the e-gmat complete test preparation package, and I was lucky to have Archit assigned as the mentor for me during the course.
After getting a very specific analysis of my first Sigma-X mock (600, Q44, V28), Archit recommended I follow the CR & RC course, which would create a good base for increasing my Verbal score, along with cementing my quant and SC concepts. He provided step by step guidance on what to do when and how long should it ideally take to complete that step. Upon completing this course I felt a lot more confident answering Verbal questions, it started to become a second nature to me and I could improve my quant efficiency by a lot. However, my speed was not up to the mark and missed a few questions when I attempted the next e-sigma mocks. Archit provided guidance on how to improve TAKT time and move past the ridiculously tough questions. Archit mentored me very carefully throughout the last few days of preparation, which helped me to really get the most out of my time. This included a very specific video-analysis of my most recent mock test which pinpointed the lowest hanging fruits as well as coming with a step-by-step plan for the last 3 days. 2 days before the exam, Archit gave me quick tips on how to be well prepared for the online exam set-up, which really helped me as I was most nervous about the online set-up.
I am grateful to Archit to help score well in my GMAT exam, it was very useful to have someone who could provide the right strategy to study and improve the score. He provided a lot of feedback by providing a lot of insights from my performances in the quizzes and mocks. I would highly recommend the e-gmat program for all the GMAT test-takers because I feel it will definitely save you from all the hassle and doubts about the GMAT exam, prep strategy and mentors here will provide proper guidance.
