Strengths:

eGMAT's main strength lies in their structured approach to both the verbal and quantitative sections.

Verbal and quant are both broken down into topics and the tutors on eGMAT focus on helping the student break down each module and come up with a logical and easy-to-follow way to solve them, while still retaining the basic core idea of each module.

The mentorship process is also very innovative - it allows the student to learn at their own pace while also giving enough time for the mentor to review your query and give a detailed response.

My mentor for the process was Dhruv Joshi and he helped keep me honest - we did disagree on the approach to take for a few sub-sections but Dhruv's brutal honestly helped me identify what I needed to improve on.

Would make the product better:

While the mentors are helpful in responding to the students, sometimes a student may need a personal touch or reassurance when things may not be going so well or it would help the student clarify a doubt by verbal communication.

At present, eGMAT only offers mentor responses over email and a call feature could be one of the things added to improve eGMAT's already impressive methodology of teaching.

Overall, eGMAT has aced the process of helping a student ace the GMAT exam, which in itself can be daunting and more so for working professionals, who may not have studied formally for a few years and need to get into that mindset of studying again.

eGMAT's tiered break-down of sections helps immensely in that regard and their PACE time savings method in the quant helps the student identify their strengths and subsequently reduce their preparation time.

I would recommend eGMAT wholeheartedly for anyone who wants to do well at the GMAT, be it a recent graduate, a working professional or an experienced professional.

Strengths:

Their verbal learning track is quite well structured.

Especially I like their teaching and practicing strategy, wherein you learn a concept, then immediately do some practice tests and then at some point later while learning other new concepts the old concepts are also tested. This is crucial as you don't forget what you learned over time.

Further I like the customizability that is offered in the questions practice bank with crisp and clear explanation.

Good balance with cost, it isn't prohibitively expensive.

A quick brief of my GMAT journey:
I had been on and off with my Gmat prep since 2018, life, international job opportunity, and many other things got in the way.
However I finally committed to appearing for gmat in 2021, and scored 700. Though this isn't a bad score considering the colleges that I was interested in and my profile it wasn't sufficient. I got rejections most of the T20 MBAs.
So a. year later I appeared again around mid August and scored 680, so I cancelled my score. This probably was my lowest point as most of my mocks were above 700.
Upon reviewing my performances and ESR I realized the issue was with verbal, particularly SC. I did pretty good in CR/RC. I had previously used free resources of e-GMAT (from youtube and gmatclub forum), and based on that experience decided to go for e-GMAT subscription. Another reason to to choose e-gmat was their price point, I did not intend on spending too much on a course that I would use just for a few topics/weeks.

e-GMAT usage:
As the R1 deadlines appeared I only had about 4 weeks to reappear. So I took the e-GMAT course to bridge my verbal knowledge. I have been a fluent english speaker since childhood, however it is mainly conversational fluency. When it came to using rules to distinguish between options I would bank on "does this sound right" and various tricks and techniques. It was clear that I had exhausted the potential of these strategies and I had to bridge the fundamental knowledge.

This is where the e-GMAT's structured course really helped me. Particularly using the diagnostics I could skip the sections over which I had mastery, e.g. comparisons. This enabled me to fast-track my preparation in the short window of opportunity.

The explanations of fundamental concepts were also quite rational and logical. Up until then I considered grammar to be some sort of magic/alchemy, particularly when it came to modifiers. But through their explanations I could see the rule-based nature. This knowledge paired with my "conversational fluency" was a potent combination that enabled me to score so well during my third attempt (750) which got me into T15 MBA's.

I did not use the quant tutorials as I was pretty confidant on these topics. I only used the quant question bank. I liked the customizability and difficulty-adaptability of the question bank.

One more thing to highlight about the question bank, since I had attempted GMAT twice I had exhausted all the questions from official question banks. This was a bigger issue for verbal than quant and CR/RC questions were essentially corrupted. I liked that e-GMAT questions were not a repeat of the official question bank and it gave me new questions to practice on.

In the end I would heavily recommend e-GMAT to anyone who wants to change their Verbal game fundamentally, whatever knowledge level you are at!

Original Score: 700 (V38,Q48)
Final Score (after e-GMAT): 750 (V41, Q50)

Would make the product better:

Nothing much to improve but something that can be adapted -
It would be great if some discounts can be offered for the financially disadvantaged yet diligent student to help the overall student community!

An online educational platform is deemed a great one if its content, user interface, and adaptability can help students conquer their goals in a structured yet fluidic manner.

This is where e-GMAT surpassed my expectations.

To begin with, I’ll break the GMAT exam into its two major components –
1. Verbal Section
2. Quant Section

The Verbal Section – e-GMAT’s methodology to ace the SC section involves comprehending the meaning of the sentences followed by applying the correct grammatical rules. This technique, made simpler with the plethora of GMAT-styled questions, helped me reach 90%+ accuracy. The entire SC module has been deconstructed into shorter videos, which, when followed in chronological order, help summarize every nuance within this section. The SC module is then followed by the CR modules, in which specialized techniques such as the pre-thinking approach, variance test, ABC tests et. al. help the student view every CR question in a much more systematic manner. Once a student is familiar with these methods, the RC section begins to appear reasonably easier to tackle.
Verbal Scholaranium is e-GMAT’s collection of handpicked verbal questions that are at par or can be considered a notch harder than the current GMAT test questions. If one is able to utilize this adequately, the person will surely excel in the Verbal section of the GMAT exam.

The Quant Section – As I’m relatively comfortable with the quant section, I questioned the learning process during my preparation. Why am I supposed to go through the basics? Will it not waste my time? This is where P.A.C.E kicks in!
P.A.C.E is e-GMAT’s proprietary algorithm, which helps the student chart out their preparation plan based on the diagnostic tests attempted. Hence, a student who is relatively stronger in a certain section within the quants module will be in a position to skip those particular files.
This helped me ‘pace’ my preparation. The quality of questions in the Scholaranium is exceptional (though relatively difficult compared with the actual GMAT questions) and these questions helped my Q48 improve to a Q50!

For someone who is inherently a poor test-taker, multiple customizable quizzes helped me prepare for the actual exam. This, coupled with the 5 Sigma-X Mock Tests helped me prepare my test-taking strategies. The Sigma-X mocks are an accurate representation of the actual exam. One can expect a +/- 10/20 points deviation in their official scores.

Lastly, no platform is complete without the human touch. My mentor, Rida Shafeek, and her colleagues were extremely helpful in guiding and motivating me for my exam. There were days when I would be mentally exhausted and physically drained. However, her constant support in charting out a hyper-specific time-bound preparation plan helped me power my 640 to a whopping 760! I’d highly recommend e-GMAT to every GMAT aspirant out there. A solid 10/10!

Strengths:

I really liked how the verbal section is structured. The SC sub-section focuses on a meaning-based approach which really helped me to increase my accuracy to 80+%ile. This approach further helps as the difficulty of the questions increases. The pre-thinking approach in CR was a game-changer for me, wherein the course instils the process skill required to pre-think weakener/strengthener etc and this approach helps to eliminate the incorrect options quickly. The RC subsection focuses on strategies required to ace complex RC passages on the GMAT such as focussed-Reading strategies. The QUANT course although a little too hard, covers each and every topic in detail and provides ample practice on every sub-topic. The Pace AI further helped me to skip topics which I was already comfortable with. The scholaranium is a very good tool created to practice questions to improve and the detailed topic-wise split really helps to analyse the faltering points.

I really liked the mentorship help that I received from e-GMAT. My mentor was Mr. Dhruv Joshi. He was really helpful throughout my GMAT journey. He was always prompt in replying whenever I needed any help. He gave me guided improvement plans to follow. The help I received from my mentor helped me tremendously in achieving the score. After my 2nd attempt. I was deeply demotivated as I was unable to achieve my target score. I had almost given up the thought of getting a chance at my dream B-school. However, Dhruv assured me that the target score was possible with the right strategy and effort. I followed the plans shared by him and I was able to see the improvements.
I would like to thank e-GMAT team for helping me reach my target score.

Strengths:

Organized content, proactive mentors, methodical approach to both Verbal and Quant sections, Excellent content for both Quant and Verbal, Sigma Mock Tests are very similar to real GMAT tests

Would make the product better:

Overall, I am very happy with the product. Maybe we can have more personalized content and support for the group aiming to score higher 760 or higher.

E-GMAT was my savior when I needed help the most. I started my GMAT prep in the month of April '22. I hired one of the tutors (would like the keep it anonymous). I was given a content ramp-up plan of ~4 months and then a month of mock practice and it was expected that I would be able to crack the exam in the south of ~6 months.

Days passed by. I gave in the required time, finished the content, and attempted my first mock (Official practice test 1). I got a 720 - This was the best score I would get among the mocks to come, and, yes, I attempted quite a few of them. The entire month of august, I wrote 1 mock per week with the delusion that I have mastered what is there to master in the content and it was just a matter of time before I get my target score of 750. Reality check, after around 6 mocks, 720 was still my best score. I even got a few scores of sub-700. I tried reaching out to my mentors but received no help whatsoever.

Enter E-GMAT the savior. Disappointed with my performance, I decided to take a week off from my prep and went to home in the first week of September. I was stressed out and clueless. Then I got in touch with folks at e-GMAT. Appeared for the first sigma mock and got a 700. Now, our goal was clear, get a 750 in about 2 months' time.

I started with E-GMAT on the 19th of September. They really helped me out in identifying my weak areas in the Verbal section and filling in the gaps. Most importantly, the mentor (Ms. Abha Mohan) instilled in confidence within me that I can actually hit the 750-740 mark consistently.

The organized content, the proactive support from the mentors' team, the methodical approach to both the Verbal and Quant sections, the Excellent content for both Quant and Verbal, and the Sigma-X Mock Tests helped me a lot! Overall, I witnessed a night and day difference b/w my previous tutor and this tutor.

Finally, I appeared for my first GMAT test and got a 740! It was a decent attempt.

Strengths:

- Analytics
- Cementing quiz - questions were carefully chosen in CQ, so I was able to practice different concepts
- Methodical approach to prep

- Tagging of Easy, Med and Hard questions

I'd highly recommend E-GMAT online course. The verbal content is very thorough. SC modules cover all topics. I also really like the meaning-based approach and pre-thinking for SC and CR respectivaly. Quant content is also very thorough. If you aim to achieve 700+ score, you can't afford to cut corners, and E-GMAT content would be very important.

Additionally, I also liked the scholarnium quiz modules. The analytics provide good insights. The questions are slightly harder than the actual GMAT, but that will help with prep in the actual exam.

Sigma X mocks are also good. They will help yo simulate the real exam like scenario. Overall, I'd certainly recommend the E-GMAT course.

After going through a lot of gmat courses online, I found e-gmat to be the best. The whole algorithm is excellent. They have a great course on both quant and verbal. With their help, I was able to score 680. The cementing quizzes and e-sigma mocks are very good. The questions on their scholaranium are at par with the real GMAT questions. To add to all of this, their LMP program really helped. My mentor Akash helped me throughout my preparation. He reviewed my mocks and quizzes on a daily basis and gave me proper feedbacks. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this course.

Nothing to improve

eGMAT helped me improve my score from 570 to 730 in just 2 months. I started with V 34 when I initially gave the mock test, which worried me a lot. I then decided to take eGMAT having heard great reviews about it. I purchased it on 24th June but started studying properly around 1st September. I needed immense support on my Sentence Correction section, which was extremely weak for me. Payal explains the Sentence Correction process extremely well. The methods given in EGMAT were very useful to help me improve my score. I also used EGMAT for Quant, especially the Quant Scholararium, which is an extremely useful tool. If I had slightly more time, I would have used the EGMAT scholararium better which would have helped my Quant score more. The questions in EGMAT are extremely good and very much like the actual GMAT test. I am grateful to EGMAT team.

Strengths:

The videos are recorded so that they are not boring and very engaging.

Would make the product better:

I did not find anything

Overall it was very helpful as I made an improvement of 70 score points. The mocks provided give a very accurate score and help us to identify weak points to work upon. The recorded videos start from the basics, ensuring students understand the concepts well before solving questions. The mentor programme is very helpful as they give the student personalised advice according to his/her strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, GMAT has a very large question bank so the student can never run out of questions to practice. EACH TIME A MOCK IS GIVEN, ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ARE ADDED. There is also an option to customize quizzes so one can take quizzes from certain topics from questions which have been answered correctly or incorrectly or which had been bookmarked earlier. This really helps to judge whether one is repeating the mistakes already made in the past.
