I finally got a 700 on my second attempt.
When I first decided to write the GMAT, I thought solving the official guide was enough to crack the GMAT. However, I was shocked to get a 580 on my first try. I understood that I needed a competent and tactical approach to crack the exam but there are thousands of services and GMAT classes available online. I did my research and planned to go with the e-GMAT services since they have a huge success rate.
And luckily the e-GMAT online portal was a lifesaver. I could design my own personalized study plan and set my target score accordingly.
I also learned how to approach the verbal section in a logical way. Just like Mathematics, there are logical steps to crack the tricky verbal section. I also was heavily dependent on the Sigma-X mocks which replicate the real GMAT exam. The mocks are pretty much accurate and if you get consistent scores in the mocks, you are likely to end up with a similar score on the real GMAT.
Last but not the least, e-GMAT connects you with a mentor for mock analysis and other strategic advice. Akash Aggarwal was my mentor and helped me strategise my study plan, which was of great help.

In the end, I would suggest that It is really important to build a strategic study plan and stick to it. The GMAT is not a difficult exam but instead, a tricky exam and guidance in the right direction will definitely help you crack it.

All the Best!

I cannot thank the team at e-gmat enough for their amazing course. The platform has comprehensive videos on pretty much every topic, as well as tests - both practice and diagnostic. The course was particularly helpful for quant; I went from Q33 in my first mock to a Q49 in my test. The course allowed me to build process skills that helped me solve GMAT quant questions logically, instead of simply falling back on formulas. Their section on word problems was particularly helpful- it simplified the entire process, with individual modules for work, speed, interest and sales. The Sentence Correction modules broke down the process into methodical steps and logical rules. This helped me reach 99th percentile in the SC section. One area where I feel the course could improve upon is the CR section. I found that it did not help me as much, and I somewhat struggled with understanding the methodology the course prescribed. Consequently, this was also the section where I scored the least.

I thank the team at e-GMAT for helping me achieve this score. I actually got to know about e-GMAT through this gmatclub forum so i really felt that i surely have to share my experience here so that it can help more people like me.

One of the main reasons I've choosen e-GMAT is because of the reviews that I've seen about its verbal course and from the point I started my prep i was very much lagging behind in verbal. My diagnostic test was (620 - Q48 and V28).
The coursework for verbal was pretty thorough and it really helped me build my basics from scratch. The methodology and approach towards the questions from different sections was unique and with practice i improved a lot.

The best part of the e-GMAT according to me was the scholaranium where I almost practiced 5-6 custom quizzes everyday and reviewed those quizzes after taking them. I felt they were a little difficult than the official gmat ones and thats what i liked about it as I already had a good quant knowledge it helped me solve difficult questions and make mistakes during my practice so that i can go ahead and learn from those mistakes.

One last thing that I specifically wanted to mention is that e-GMAT probably has the best User Interface and level of details that goes into analyzing your time and mistakes is amazing. It is very very underrated and not many people talk about this but unconsciously it does make your life easier.

Overall I highly rate the verbal course and scholaranium of e-GMAT and they provide good support throughout your prep with the help of some really experienced startegy experts.

I chose E-GMAT primarily due to it's proven ability to improve verbal ability as I had many read many other reviews. In my previous attempt my weakest section was SC, however the master-comprehension and process skill approach employed in E-GMAT really helps eliminate any uncertainty. I felt that the first step of always understanding the overall message and identifying key elements helped across all three sections of Verbal.

My RC strategy also changed after using E-GMAT were one thorough read of the passage was enough to answer all subsequent questions except in the case of questions with respect to specific details which at times required revisiting the passage. The focus on understanding each element of the passage plays a big role in critical reasoning. There are many traps in CR that will be missed if you rush through without understanding the overall message as a single word can make a huge difference.

I found the E-GMAT quant course to be adequate and found some of the problems utilized to be extremely long and cumbersome. Such questions in my opinion are rarely tested in the exam and it throws off your time management abilities. However, there is a lot of depth in the concepts that are taught but if the questions could resemble more of GMAT -style questions it would be much better.

Overall E-GMAT has a great verbal course and provides support throughout the preparation process with the help of the strategy experts.

My Gmat journey started in 2021 when I decided to pursue an MBA course. Started my prep work by myself the first time and worked hard for 6 months but could recieve a score of only 660. I decided to work on my gaps and gave the test again in 2 months but unfortunately, got the exact same sub-sectional scores in both Quant and Verbal and only a 10 point improvement.

The gap in my self preparation was a lack of structure. I used to focus on the weak areas, improve that and lose track of the components that I had already built ability in. Meanwhile, I focussed little if anything at all on Quant, focussing all my energy on Verbal.

Thats why when I was explained the structured approach of e-GMAT on a call with one of the representatives, I decided that is what I needed- A structured, logically formulated course in which I just need to practice diligence and do as Im told.

Thus, my 3rd attempt at the GMAT journey began in April and because of the previous effort I had put in improving my Verbal skills, the first 2 months of the course seemed quite a breeze in comparison to the Quant section.

Quant learning was made easy by the very systematic concept files and application files in each chapter of the section. The learnings were then reinforced in the practice files and skills files. The cementing quizes would then test my ability in each section and highlight the weak points giving various indicators of the existing gaps that needed work.

All of this effort was made super easy by my mentor Rida Shafeek who guided me through every step and gave me the confidence that I lacked in myself. I was also given special attention by Shweta - quant expert who took the efforts to teach my the importance of maintaining and analysing an error log and therefore the magic of strategic review. I felt considerably more confident in the quant section upon putting in all the effort.

In the end, during the final month of the prep, I signed up for the Last Mile Program where I was given more attention by Rida and was taken through every step of the way in my test readiness process. The 5 diagnostic tests were a roller coaster ride for me since I did not manage to score consistently well on all the tests. But I was given assurance repeatedly by Rida that all other indicators in my preparation led to mean that I had the ability to achieve the score I wanted.

The result, I came out of the exam hall with a considerable increase in my score - 660 - 670 to finally a 700.

I had started my GMAT prep quite clueless, thinking that just solving multiple questions would enable me to ace the exam with a respectable score. Still, even after attempting official practice tests, my score was stagnant at 680. This was when I discovered gmatclub and learned about e-GMAT's online course.

After going through several positive reviews, I decided to go with it and was instantly impressed with the high-quality resources they provided. The course never made me feel incomplete, from interactive videos to video solutions for each practice question. Also, the Verbal Scholaranium and Sigma-X Mock questions were very helpful in assessing my performace and returned insightful statistics upon completion.

To top it all off, I was offered access to their LMP program towards the end of my course, wherein a mentor guided me every day on the tests to take and topics to revise.

I would recommend this course to anyone without a second thought. I plan on attempting the GMAT again as I didn't achieve my desired score on the test day, and would surely go with e-GMAT again in a heartbeat.

I started my GMAT prep back in August 2021 and self-prepared with OGs and a few other books and ended up with a score of 640 (V-29, Q-47). While doing the prep, i came across several success story videos of E-gmat and was quite intrigued with the process discussed such as meaning based approach for SC and Pre-thinking for CR. I did go through a couple of webinars of E-gmat for SC and CR and tried to imbibe the process into my prep, but clearly, I had too little time on hand to do justice with it. After the 1st attempt, I was sure that I was going to buy the E-gmat course because the process made logical sense to me, and I needed a structured approach. I took a break from my prep and purchased the E-gmat course in February 2022. The plan was to prepare for 4 months and give the test in June 2022. But due to work commitments, I could not really prepare regularly till mid-May. Coming to the course, to start with, it asks you about your current scores and your target scores and accordingly suggests a plan forward. The most important course to start with is their Master Comprehension course. It literally helps you to master the comprehension. It teaches you the basic structure of a sentence, the pause points, how to break a sentence and how to assimilate the meaning. Post this, I started with my verbal course doing SC, CR, RC in that sequence. Each course comprised of concept files, concept quizzes, practice quizzes and the most important, the application files. The application files teach you, in a guided manner, how to solve a question in a structured way. Post completing all these files for each section, the course suggests you to cement the concepts by taking few cementing quizzes. The cementing quizzes are handpicked questions by the E-gmat experts of medium and hard difficulty. I did the cementing for all the sections (i.e., scoring 70% or above in medium difficulty, and 55% or above in hard). Though it was not easy at first, but post reviewing each of the question I attempted and taking the corrective actions such as going back to the specific concept/application files where I feel there is a gap, I was able to build up an ability to solve questions. Post this, I went on and did OG questions for practice. In between, I attempted my first 2 sigma X mocks (E-gmat mocks) and scored 650 (V35, Q44) and 690 (V40, Q44). I realised that I have built a base ability in verbal and just need to refine some areas to maintain the ability. Post scoring a 690, I was included in the Last Mile Program, a program where a mentor helps you out to get test ready.
My mentor, Abha Mohan, connected with me and helped me out with a plan to refine my rough patches. By looking at my account statistics she figured out that I was struggling with concepts such as modifiers and subject verbs in SC, Evaluate and Strengthen in CR. Hence, I went back to the course, revised few concepts, and reattempted the practice files. Post this, there was a confidence within me in my ability to solve questions within a limited time. Next, she shared a plan with me for my test readiness where I had to give few combined quizzes of 25 questions and 33 questions. I scored a decent 76% on both the quizzes for verbal and around 60%-70% in quants. I gave my last official mock before the test and scored 710 with a V37 and Q49. Finally, went ahead with exam and ended up scoring a 700 (V35, Q49). The test day was not a great experience because of lack of sleep and some bad decisions during the test. As I was struggling with time in Verbal section during the end, I made the most terrible mistake to not finish my Verbal section and ended up getting a 3-point penalty, which was evident in my ESR where my average Verbal score was a 38. It was my bad decision which may have cost me about 10-20 points in my overall score.
To conclude, few important things that the course emphasis on are: 1. Just because you have completed the course, that doesn’t mean you will not have to go back again and again to the specific concepts. Revising the concepts is going to refine what you have already built. 2. One should strategically review each question that he/she has solved and in that review each of the options are to be reviewed. One should have absolute clarity as to what was correct in the correct choice, and what was incorrect in the other four. Unless you do this process with diligence on all the questions that you solve, the improvement will not be visible. 3. Maintaining an error log is as important, if not more, as solving questions. If you do not maintain it, it will be difficult to understand and accept where exactly you lack or what mistakes do you make. 4. The solutions to each of the questions, be it verbal or quants, are detailed and follow the structure which has been taught in the concepts. If there are still any doubts left post reviewing the solution, there are forums below each question where there are several questions asked by previous students and these have been responded to by the E-gmat experts. These forums helped me significantly in getting clarity over every aspect of the question. The final thing to note is that just buying the course alone will not guarantee success. One must imbibe the process and be diligent to really make use of this excellent course. Have patience and trust the process.
