Strengths:

The following are according to me the areas in which the product stands out ( In the order of importance as per me):
1) Mentor support through the course. This support I think was most important to me as I could discuss all the issues I was facing during my prep and could obtain expert opinion.
2) A huge question bank in the form of scholaranium in both verbal and quant which gives more than ample questions of different difficulty levels. ( Best way to use them I feel is taking a quiz of 10 or 15 questions on a topic . Analysing each question after the mini-test. I recommend that before we go to solutions we should try the incorrect questions again after the test and see if we can solve them. )
3) Third in the rank would be the verbal section with its video lectures , practice quizzes and applications . As a person who knew little about how GMAT verbal works , this section provided me the foundation before jumping to scholaranium to solve questions.
4) The PACE feature in the quant section of eGMAT is also impressive as it identifies the areas where you need to work and which areas you may skip based on your performance in diagnostic tests. For someone who wants to save time on quant or is very thorough with concepts this feature is a boon.
5) Finally in the last mile push program , the mentor assigned to the student helps the student to ensure that his/her preparation level is sound enough to crack the score he is aiming at. The program consists of timelines , daily targets and assessment milestones which cement the learning of the individual and also give him confidence to take on the exam :) .

Would make the product better:

While prepping I saw that in case of some questions on scholaranium and practice questions , there is no video explanation by a SME. Its just a personal opinion that watching a video with a SME explaining how to go about a question helped me absorb all the concepts much better . This area can be looked into.

It was somewhere in November 2022 when I decided to appear for my GMAT. I searched the internet and GMAT club and other such sources. My expectations from the course were that its offerings could help me create a proper foundation on theoretical level ( concepts ) and provide me enough practice material for putting those concepts to practice. An additional concern for me was the cost . eGMAT I felt that was the best fit for me on all these fronts.
After taking the course I started with the verbal part ( SC , CR and RC in that order). The course is so designed that it will guide you step by step in your journey and all you have to do is to follow this guidance with enough sincerity and conviction. I went along the course , gave the practice exams and appeared for the mock tests and eventually I could feel that I was beginning to understand what GMAT expects from me. Yes, I had my falls during the prep but these were more due to my follies than any external factor. For example I exhausted the mocks fairly early when I was not even well prepared with the concepts. So all in all the course has all the elements in it to help one get to his target score. These include robust course material , fantastic practice questions in form of scholaranium , 5 mocks and expert support. IMO anyone who goes through the course with good level of dedication is set up for a good score on the test.
The review would not be complete if I do not reemphasize on how much I benefited from the mentorship support of eGMAT. Rashmi Ma'am has all through guided me in this journey . A simple email such as ' how is your prep going' was a reminder for me to keep on track and not deviate. Further the strategy session with her helped me realize where are stood in terms of prep.
Thank you Rashmi Ma'am , Thank you eGMAT :) A huge part of this 750 is because of the guidance provided by you.

If you're searching for a top-notch course to help you achieve your target score, I highly recommend giving e-GMAT serious consideration. After trying out several online resources, I can confidently say that e-GMAT is truly exceptional. It stands out not only for its extensive content and comprehensive course material for each topic but also for its dedicated team of mentors.

If you're aiming for a 98 percentile or higher, you may encounter a stage where you've completed the course but find yourself stuck at a plateau score of 700. Progressing beyond this point and achieving even a modest improvement of 10 points can be quite challenging. I personally faced a similar situation.

Before I purchased e-GMAT, I was stuck at a score of 700, relying on a strategy of analyzing mock exams and dedicating a week to practice my weak areas before attempting the next one. I would practice a large number of questions without a clear direction in mind. However, despite my sincere efforts, I couldn't break through the 700 barrier.

Realizing that there was an unidentified issue, I decided to invest in e-GMAT's 2-month online course, primarily for their dedicated mentorship. Luckily, I was assigned Rida Shafeek as my mentor. Rida carefully analyzed my mock exams and provided me with a day-by-day plan to address my weaknesses over the course of a month. I followed Rida's advice diligently, treating it as invaluable guidance.

What kept me motivated throughout the journey was Rida's constant encouragement and belief in my abilities. Even on days when my scores weren't satisfactory, she reassured me that I had a solid grasp of the concepts and emphasized the importance of my energy and self-belief in achieving scores ranging from 670 to 760.
During this process, I came to the realization that I had been focusing on identifying conceptual knowledge gaps or specific application techniques to break through the 700-score plateau, when, in fact, the underlying issue was something entirely different. Surpassing that plateau required nothing more than a boost in my self-confidence and belief in my abilities, and Rida played an instrumental role in helping me achieve that.

I must give full credit to Rida for my improved score. Her unwavering positivity and calm demeanor made all the difference in my journey. Without her dedicated efforts, achieving this score would have remained a distant dream. It is solely due to her guidance that I was able to make a significant improvement of 50 points within a month.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Harsha, the e-GMAT expert in Critical Reasoning (CR). A single one-on-one session with Harsha revealed the power of visualization, which transformed CR into a much more manageable aspect for me.
Some fantastic offerings provided in the e-GMAT course that worked for me (apart from the invaluable mentorship) :
1. e-GMAT’s Scholaranium 2.0 is an unbeatable asset. It helped me tremendously to focus and improve my weak areas while paying attention to the timing as well as the accuracy of questions with different levels of difficulty.
2. The LMP program is a boon for people who have limited time to achieve their desirable score. It offers a day-to-day set of activities for each day so that one can fully and efficiently utilize their each day.

Thanks e-GMAT! :)

Regards,
Ridhi

Strengths:

- Very detailed explanations
- Step by step processes for each type of question
- Super strong sentence correction approach

Would make the product better:

- nothing

The e-GMAT course is by far the best GMAT course that I have tried, and I have tried many. I have started from a very low score many years ago and tried different online courses before ending up with e-GMAT.

What I like about e-GMAT is that the course is incredibly more detailed than similar products, and it helps you developing a consistent approach that you can apply to all questions. Nothing is left to chance.. they really explore all possibilities so that on test day I did not have any surprise.

I really enjoyed the sentence correction modules; these are really a game changer. They are so well structured that after you go through and you attempt a SC question it will almost feel like solving a quant question.

Overall, I was able to improve 50 points from the 660 that I had scored 2 years ago. I spent 2 months / 3h a day on e-GMAT.

I really recommend it.

The Egmat offers comprehensive course for Quant and Verbal. These courses are structured topic-wise. Quant was always a strength for me , so this course has helped me much more in Verbal.
Starting from Master comprehension, in which i learned how to comprehend a sentence in an easier way , the course helped me in understanding the nuances of SC, CR and RC.
SC Improvement- The Meaning based approach made this section easier for me. In case of hard questions, this approach helped me in eliminating wrong answer choices easily. Shraddha's explanation for many questions also helped a lot.
CR- The pre-thinking approach taught by the course was amazing . I specifically liked Harsha's explanation in breaking and understanding the CR question.
cementing quizzes- At the end of each topic, Cementing quizzes helped a lot in learning the concept . In quant also, cementing quizzes covered the questions of all difficulty level , so it helped a lot.
Verbal and quant scholaranium have their different importance. They have lot of questions of all difficulty levels, which are sufficient for a good prep.
Egmat's sigmaX mocks are also at par with Gmat level. The scores in these tests reflected my true abilities.
Further, the push given by Dhruv during LMP made this journey easier.

Strengths:

PACE Engine for Quants is quite unique adaptive interface which helps you cover quants very fast in case if you are strong in quants.
The approach for verbal especially in sentence correction and critical thinking is quite exhaustive and hence very effective. Cementing quizzes were also quite effective.

Would make the product better:

The interface for verbals section could be made similar to that of quants sections as was no option to re-attempt the practice quizzes as a quiz.

Overall, e-GMAT online course is quite comprehensive package for your GMAT preparation. Some of the key features like PACE engine for quants section and the cementing quizzes made the preparation quite effective. . The verbals section was altogether had a different approach as compared to quants section. It has a go through example based interactive application covering many of the concepts in SC,CR and RC. In addition you will be assigned a personal mentor which will guide you through the entire coursework. I think taking up e-GMAT course turned out to be really fine decision ending up with a 710 score!!!

Strengths:

Scholaranium

Would make the product better:

Quality of verbal questions:
The verbal questions are good, however once you have developed your ability in verbal, the questions seem easy as compared to the actual gmat exam questions. More challenging verbal questions would be really helpful.

Live prep:
Pre recorded sessions are helpful up to a point, but after you have reached a level, you need live sessions/support. I would really recommend live sessions be made available for lmp students.

Scholaranium. e-gmat has figured it out. The scholaranium quizzes are really good and the tool judges one's ability appropriately.

Course structure: The course is very well structured, especially the quant section.

Quant questions:
Challenging questions, covers all topics, almost of similar levels of gmat exam questions

Last Mile Push program : The mentors are really helpful and encouraging. One of the best to opt for if you are looking to break the 700 barrier.

Experts and mentors:
The experts and mentors team is amazing. Talented and helpful folks. They arrange one on one meets for you in case you are stuck somewhere and would help you in achieving your target score.

One of the best courses available out there. You won't regret.

eGMAT played a crucial role in my GMAT preparation, resulting in a 94th percentile score. eGMAT's focus on verbal proficiency was a game-changer, offering comprehensive study materials and unique approaches to sentence correction (meaning-based), critical reasoning (pre-thinking and visualization), and reading comprehension (visualizing and internalizing the passage). This boosted my ability. accuracy, and hence the confidence in these areas.

One of eGMAT's most valuable features was the strategic review of mistakes. The platform provided an Error Log, allowing me to track and categorize my errors and gain insights into my weaknesses, especially in critical reasoning and reading comprehension. The detailed explanations accompanying each question further improved my understanding. This review process helped me identify patterns, adjust my study approach, and enhance my performance.

The Last Mile Program (LMP) provided by eGMAT was invaluable in the final stage of my preparation. It helped me identify and improve specific pitfalls before the mock phase and provided guidance on time and stress management. The LMP instilled discipline in my study routine, taught me effective time management during the exam, and helped me develop a positive and focused mindset. The Test Readiness exercises and mocks simulated the real GMAT experience, building resilience and improving my ability to handle pressure. The LMP played a crucial role in boosting my overall performance.

The mentorship of Rida was a game-changer in my success. Her continuous support and guidance were instrumental in my progress. Rida was readily available and went above and beyond to address my concerns and provide personalized feedback on my practice exercises. This helped me identify and rectify weaknesses, not only in content mastery but also in behavioural and temperament shifts, such as test anxiety.
With eGMAT and Rida's mentorship, my critical reasoning performance witnessed a remarkable improvement, emerging as the strongest section from the weakest. Starting from a modest baseline, I climbed to a nearly 90th percentile in this section. Rida's personalized attention and detailed feedback allowed me to address weaknesses and build a strong foundation in critical reasoning, ultimately leading to this achievement.

Strengths:

e-GMAT impressed me with its personalized learning approach, expert guidance, comprehensive curriculum, and ample practice material. The adaptive learning technology tailored my study plan to my specific needs, making the most of my study time. My instructor, Akash, provided invaluable support and clear explanations during the final stages of preparation. The well-structured curriculum covered all GMAT aspects, catering to students at various proficiency levels. The abundant practice material, including official questions, reinforced my knowledge and familiarized me with the exam format. e-GMAT truly offered me a tailored approach and comprehensive resources to excel on the GMAT.

Would make the product better:

Portal can have better way to access the previously solved questions

e-GMAT surpassed my expectations, especially considering my limited time for the GMAT exam. With only a short window for preparation, I turned to e-GMAT for assistance. The personalized learning approach proved invaluable as the adaptive technology optimized my study plan, focusing on my weak areas. But what truly made a difference was the guidance I received from Akash through the Last Mile Program. Despite my time constraints, Akash helped me formulate a strategic plan to make the most of my available time. His expertise and support were instrumental in refining my skills and boosting my confidence. The comprehensive curriculum and abundant practice material provided by e-GMAT further enhanced my preparation. I can confidently say that e-GMAT played a pivotal role in my success. If you find yourself pressed for time, e-GMAT and their expert guidance can be your saving grace in achieving your desired GMAT score. Highly recommended.

Strengths:

1) Cementing quiz - Since e-gmat has been in the business for so many years, they have identified a few questions which test topics appropriately to judge if you have understood the topic sufficiently. These quizzes are definitely helpful in judging your progress!

2) Way of teaching - Each module starts from the basic and they ensure that the foundation is strong for you to grasp the advanced concepts. Don't get me wrong, you can skip the modules on basics if you are confident, however, it definitely is very helpful

3) Last Mile push program - In this program a personalized coach will be assigned who will work with you to help you reach your target score. It's very useful for those who are stuck at a particular score level; the coach will help you identify your weak areas and use your performance data to suggest appropriate ways to improve your score. My performance coach was Rashmi, can't thank her enough for her support!

Would make the product better:

1) The product that I took was completely online and contained pre-recorded lectures. I think a combination of certain live lectures on specific modules may be helpful.

2) Modules don't have an option to watch the video at a higher speed. For someone who has already prepared for GMAT earlier, the not have the option to be able to speed up the videos takes away the flexibility for those modules in which person is well versed. This option is especially important for people under last mile push program since usually they'll be on a shorter timeline and hence, would want to cut through such modules.

It is definitely one of the best products to help you in your gmat journey. And I'm writing this review after trying 2 other products besides E-gmat, so I can say it with certainty that it'll help you irrespective of what point in the journey you're at.

I had a difficult time improving my verbal score, however, the e-gmat way of teaching verbal- cementing quiz, practice quiz, error log, concept quiz - was helped me increase it from V36 to V41.

It also offered quite an extensive module on quants coupled with an AI module, which basis your performance on each concept lets you skip those concepts. This saves some time for repeaters.

All in all, please don't hesitate to buy this product.

Strengths:

- Fundamentals of Verbal content is unmatched
- Data driven approach helps students have clarity during prep
- 1:1 mentorship and genuine investment in the performance of their students

Would make the product better:

Largely all bases are covered. Would love to see how features such as PACE continue to evolve

E-GMAT is a great platform, using data driven insights to help students find an edge. I had already written the GMAT before and had a fairly solid score of 720 (Q49, V38).

Since I come from an overrepresented background and am targeting top 10/15 B-Schools, I felt I needed to push my score up a notch. However, the catch with starting from a higher baseline leaves room for improvement only at the margins, and I was unclear on how to proceed.

This is where E-Gmat came in. Firstly, their platform is extremely user-friendly and analytics driven. This allows every student to assess their current level, highlight their areas of weakness, and build a study plan in sync with their goals and the amount of time they would be able to commit.

Their content around verbal, centred around a meaning-based approach and prethinking, really helped strengthen my fundamentals. Similarly, it helped refresh my quant skills and fine-tuned my methods in this regard. The quality of questions, especially those of a higher level, helped test the intricacies of each concept and ensured that any weaknesses were highlighted. By following their course, one can get an extremely process-driven approach towards their current level and path to improvement.

As an added bonus, I was part of their last mile push program which offered me the opportunity to work closely with a mentor. This includes steady correspondence over email and 1:1 sessions approximately every 10 days or so. My mentor Rashmi really helped, both in terms of diagnosing weak areas and building an action plan, as well as pushing my effort levels and ensuring accountability.

I ended up pushing my score to a 740 (Q49, V41) and E-Gmat played an important role in pushing me towards this improvement. I have used some of the other GMAT platforms out there, but would definitely recommend them to any individual looking to write the GMAT.
