Adaptive Sigma-X mocks
I started my GMAT Prep a year back. But due to critical health conditions, I wasn’t able to give the exam back then.
July 2023: After recovering partially, I started my GMAT journey with e-gmat starting by giving an OG Mock (760) and a Sigma-X (740).
I started my prep at a point where I knew the basics but where I lacked were:
• The identification of areas where I usually missed things (even though I knew the concepts), resulting in wrong answers
• The test-taking strategy.
The result: My mock scores fluctuated a lot between 710-750 on Sigma-X, although a constant 760 on all OG Mocks.
Note: Never take OG mocks as an actual representation of your GMAT performance. Questions on actual GMAT are way tougher than what you will see in OG mocks. One thing you’ll learn when you give the Sigma-X mocks – An almost equivalent representation of the actual GMAT
Akash, the Strategy expert from e-gmat, worked with me continuously to help me get constant with my strategy and scores.
Top 3 areas where e-GMAT helped me:
• Identification of conceptual gaps
• Identification of logical gaps while solving problems
• Test-taking strategy
Although on my best preparation, I, on the test day, was in a tensed state of mind.
(Tip to avoid: Stick to e-gmat test day strategies before entering the testing premises and follow them later on till you finsh the exam).
I started with Quant and saw some real challenging questions in the test, and I made the mistake of making the assumption that I somewhat missed a few questions and hence would have missed the perfect 51.
This self-doubt impacted significantly my performance in Verbal.
Thanks to e-gmat because of whose approaches I was able to do quite well on the CR and SC sections, but messed up in the RC due to lack of focus and in self-doubt. If not for the CR and SC methodologies by e-gmat, my score could have gone way worse.
Tips to test-takers:
• Believe in yourself the most on test day
• Do not doubt once you are finished with a section, focus on what’s in-hand now and not what can’t be changed now
• Stick to test-day strategies by e-gmat, the most important one being - Solve few questions before going for the exam (I missed on them)
I got a 720 with Q51 (the section I assumed I messed up) and V36 (my lowest ever score on any mock – Hence trust e-gmat and trust the process), IR 8, and AWA 6
Fingers crossed (I’m gonna give another attempt within 15 days. Will be updating my progress)
Update: It's 770 now (Q51, V 45, IR 8, AWA 6)
Strengths:
The best parts of e-gmat are the quality of the verbal section and the quality of the mentors assigned to you in the e-gmat online 360 program. My mentor was Akash Aggarwal and he helped me to identify my weak areas and stay focused till the exam day.
Would make the product better:
One improvement area- e-gmat can include better short live classes instead of 3-4 hour classes. This will improve the attention span and will give the students the motivation to join these classes
My journey to 700 is a story of consistency. I started my preparations in late 2022 from e-gmat. Being a non-native English speaker, I was naturally weak in English. However, the best parts of e-gmat were the quality of the verbal section and how it taught me from the basics.
Although the initial learning process was smooth, I wasn't able to perform well in my section exams. That's when the team e-gmat voluntarily enrolled me in its online 360 program and assigned me Akash Aggarwalm as the mentor. Akash helped me in three areas:
1) Identifying my fundamental weakness in each sub-section
2) Create customized tests for me to improve on the weak areas
3) Create a pre and post mock test strategy to get e ready for the exam day
I would suggest the GMAT aspirants to try the e-gmat online course as the quality of the content and their mentors is unparalleled in the industry. Also, just believe in yourself and go an extra mile to realise your dreams.
Strengths:
Practice test has resemblance to actual GMAT test and the analysis provided on the answers are very helpful as well
Would make the product better:
May be they are make the interface a bit better, the navigation can be improved
e-gmat helped me to develop my verbal skills, I saw a marked improvement in verbal score from V28 to V38 after I used e-gmat, this also helped me to improve the overall score from 640 to 700. The practice test (Scholarium) were very helpful and it helped me to understand the mistakes I was making. The analysis provided helped me to increase my accuracy. Besides, the mock test were aligned with GMAT test, and my final GMAT score was very close to the marks i got in my last 3 mocks. The quants section was also up to the mark , though i would say it was on the tougher side than actual test. At the end i believe e-gmat has the best content for serous GMAT takers.
Hi alankar70
Heartfelt Congratulations to you on your 700 score!
A 60-point overall improvement doubled with a 10-point Verbal improvement (V28 to V38) is certainly an accomplishment that needs to be shared and spread.
Your diligence throughout this journey has been at the core of your success.
You followed every suggested process to the ‘TEE’. Your improvement in your SC abilities was mainly due to the combination of your sincerity and the Meaning-based approach can be seen in the image below.

At the end it all comes down to predicting success. Th score you attained in your last Mock is just 10-points shy of your actual test score. Hence you could predict that you were well on your way to success.

alankar70, it was a pleasure working closely with you towards your target score. We wish you the best for the next steps!

Strengths:
1) tailored approach
2) unlimited number of resources across Scholarium module and articles database for questions / concept clearing
3) figured out the right teaching approach from basics -> cementing -> testing
4) smartly identifying gaps in knowledge and working to fill them
5) responsive support
Would make the product better:
1) better/more seamless way to access official OG questions
2) live chat for more urgent queries
I was using myriad other programs before being connected to Rashmi at eGMAT. The difference between these platforms and eGMAT was the 1) tailored approach and 2) unlimited number of resources across Scholarium, module and articles database for questions / concept clearing. Also, the coach (Rashmi) was there every step of the way as a guiding light. I think eGMAT has figured out the right approach – 1) basics, 2) cementing the foundation and 3) testing to master comprehension in both Quant and Verbal. Especially in Verbal, the meaning-based approach & pre-thinking reading strategies, which are key to doing well in this section, are taught really well. eGMAT’s platform smartly uses AI to analyze and surface gaps in your knowledge so you always know where you should be paying more attention. The support via email & forum discussions is top-notch and very responsive. The current turnaround time is less than 24 hours.
Strengths:
Detailed videos
Concept files
Practice Quizzes
Performance Dashboard
Would make the product better:
Timing seemed to be quite lengthy and it is a significant time investment for a candidate, who is already in a busy job schedule. Look if you can optimize the concept video timings.
Hello everyone,
I gave my GMAT 1st attempt during August'2023, scored a mere 600 (Q47,V27). I was not happy with the score.
I took a few days break after the exam, during this period I introspected on my strengths and weaknesses, my study pattern etc. and I realized I need help for verbal section, and after some searching I decided to go with eGMAT . I liked the Personalized Study Plan (PSP) approach, the PSP helped by breaking down the entire preparation schedule with respect to my target score and current score.
I started with SC and completed the courses end to end. By the time I was done 50% of the course I could already feel improvement in understanding of the SC questions.
The approach of breaking down a question in segments was especially helpful to understand the intended meaning.
Through the concept quizzes and practice quizzes, ideas were reinforced and areas of conceptual gaps were identified and subsequently worked upon.
Then I went for the cementing quizzes and even though initially I did not achieve the target score but eventually I did by following the process.
Post completion of the Cementing quizzes I moved on to OG questions. I solved close to 80-100 questions only this time but I did detail analysis of each question of where I went right and wrong or took more time.
In November I took another shot at GMAT and time I scored 700 (Q48,V37). Verbal score improved by 10 points.
Being a working professional, I did not had enough time to cover the CR and RC sections. But I recommend fellow students to go through the master comprehension section, this will set up the base if you are weak in verbal. Also SC being a foundation section the improved ability in SC helped me decipher CR questions much faster, which in turn helped me to logically deconstruct RC passages.
Overall eGMAT module helped me to
1. Build a solid conceptual foundation and take right approach to GMAT.
2. Schedule the daily study time with its time tracker
3. Pin point areas of strengths and weaknesses with its AI enabled dashboards
Thanks and I wish all the aspirants Good Luck!
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I would highly recommend e-GMAT as the bible when it comes to GMAT preparation. My 120 point score improvement from 580 to 700, is because of the detailed and meticulously built course content and processes of the course.
e-GMAT recommends the 3 stages of learning – first, you go through the concepts and quizzes. Second, is the cementing stage and third, test readiness.
I found the cementing stage to be the most crucial step in my journey as I faltered on many cementing quizzes when completing certain sub-sections. This exposed my gaps in preparation and helped mitigate them immediately.
Quant was my weaker section, so I worked on that first and completed the entire course. After taking GMAT twice, I can confidently say the e-GMAT course covers every topic tested on the exam and if you follow the processes mentioned, scoring high will not be an issue.
Verbal course was also extremely detailed, where the course starts right from the basics and covers advance concepts tested with sufficient examples and applications.
The most invaluable part of this journey was the mentor support. On writing to e-GMAT team, I was assigned Akash Aggarwal as my mentor who guided me through this entire journey.
Overall, if you are considering different products for your GMAT preparation, only buy one – the e-GMAT course. Trust me, you don’t need any other resource – not even OG books or GMAT club questions!

Strengths:
The meaning based approach for Verbal was a total game changer for me!
Would make the product better:
Update some VA modules to the new interface as seen in QA modules
The e-gmat course proved to be supremely helpful and comprehensive. The diagnostic Sigma-X mock was a great tool to understand the initial skill level and major gaps that needed to be bridged. Further, the customized time table / learning methodology was super helpful to streamline prep, especially for those who aren’t studying full time and are juggling prep with work.
The part that stood out to me the most was the meaning based approach for Verbal. Watching the first module alone helped me achieve my target VA score as it helped get rid of habitual instincts that creep in while solving verbal question sets.

I specifically opted for eGMAT to access their highly reputed Verbal Content. The way they have structured the entire course content into digestible chunks which are easy to comprehend is what really makes the product stand out.
