My journey with GMAT has been far too long, and it is still going on. E-Gmat did help me get a score improvement of 40 points over my previous best score. If one would fully dedicate oneself to the methodology, chances are high that you would get to the target score. However, I was not able to and the blame is on me.
Below is my honest review about the course.

In the verbal concept building phase, the questions discussed are too easy. There is a sudden increase in difficulty and complexity when you start with practice. The answer explanation is not upto the mark and I had to refer to gmatclub discussion many a times. For any particular question, there is an entire discussion thread that one must sift through to check whether anyone else had the same confusion as you did. If yes, great! If no, then you ask the question and wait for an unsatisfactory answer. (Exception: Answers by Harshendra are great!) The discussion thread contains a lot of stale answers as well. So, beware of going through an inaccurate explanation.

In quant section, there is no complaint.

Overall, the course did help me develop my basics. I have a better grip on the individual concepts. I faltered in the application phase, but that's my issue. Maybe it will work out nicely for you. All the best!

Strengths:

Well-structured course work,
data based progress trackers, and
SIGma-X mocks are the key strengths of this product.

Would make the product better:

1. Though they provide query support, which normally takes a day to receive a response from the instructor, holding live biweekly or weekly doubt clearing sessions where students may get their confusions or doubts clarified right away will save a lot of time and mind space during this journey.
2. Easily accessible Crisp summaries, summarized charts of a few essential sentence structures, key idioms or important phrases, formulas, and short tips and tactics that must be memorized would substantially assist students in revising the key points in the last minutes.

The entire course is well-structured, easy to follow, and provides enough questions to learn, practice and strengthen the fundamentals. Finally the course provides 5 Mock tests which help assess our preparation and take corrective measures on time. In the process of learning, primarily I developed a new skill-set, whereas a score of 700 became a fruitful byproduct.

It is worthwhile to invest in the course provided by EGMAT. In my opinion, if we solve the material provided by egmat in the time allotted, we won't need any more material to pass the GMAT with a good score. They provide very extensive and clear answers to each practice question, thus the material becomes adequate for cementing the concepts and practicing them.

Hi,

I took the GMAT course from the e-gmat and improved my score by 160 points. The course is very interactive and self-paced. As a working professional, It is very easy for me to grasp concepts in this interactive course. In addition, each section in the course has different modules/concepts and hence it helps us better understand our weaknesses and focus on correcting our mistakes.

The methods learned in this course especially in verbal helps you to solve questions even in a stressed environment as in the test center. The pre-thinking approach and the meaning based approach in verbal helped me a lot to improve my verbal score. The mocks in this course very much stimulate the actual GMAT mocks . In fact, they are a bit tougher when compared to actual GMAT. One can expect to score a greater than or equal to the score we got in e-gmat mocks.

The one thing that worked very well for me other than the course is the mentorship programme. GMAT is not just a test of concepts but it’s also a test of resilience, consistency and calmness. We might get a good score over the mocks but screw up our actual exam if we do not maintain our calmness. My mentor, Rashmi, from e-gmat provided me with the much needed confidence and boost along with detailed study plan throughout my journey keeping in view of my weakness and strengths. Thanks a lot to the e-gmat team, especially Rashmi, for being there throughout the journey.

Strengths:

1 - Adaptive Pacing - Especially in Quant, the adaptive pacing helps the student skim over the topics he/she is comfortable with and spend appropriate time on topics one is struggling with.

2 - Assigned mentor - Once a student is done with the learning phase of the course, a mentor is assigned to him/her. this is especially useful as the mentor can optimize the student's time and ensure that he/she is not wasting time on irrelevant stuff.

3- the Scholaranium - this is the question bank of E-gmat and I can't emphasize enough on its importance. it is very well designed and closely resembles the questions on the actual GMAT. The Question bank has enough questions to practice, provided one judiciously uses it and doesn't squander it. the Mentor can really help the student here.

Would make the product better:

1 - Completely self-driven - I would want a bit more initiative from the team during the revision / strategizing phase. The team is always quick to respond to mails and texts, no complaints there, but I feel a bit more initiative from the team will go a long way.

I enjoyed my time with the E-gmat. I opted for a 2-month course with a one-month extension. I initially gave my gmat with 2-month prep and scored 700. Before this, I did not take any coaching from any other platform and stuck to GMAT club practice questions for practice and Manhattan for the concept. I scored a 700 with this and decided to opt for a re-test along with an e-gmat subscription.
This decision proved helpful. In the verbal section, I could gauge my improvement and keep tabs on the concepts I was faltering in. Their mentorship program also helped me identify key areas where I was lacking, on which I diligently worked. I was especially fumbling in CR initially, but the structure-driven approach helped bolster the concept for me.
their difficulty Quant coursework is a notch higher in difficulty when compared to the GMAT, which makes the Quant section a breeze in the actual exam.
their mocks too are an apt representation of the level of questions one will face in the actual gmst and they help in the process of preparation for the same. I was scoring around 730 in their Mocks and was quite happy with myself. But in the actual exam, I got 710 (owing to some personal issues I was going through on my end)
Overall, I am quite happy with the E-gmat coursework and its mentorship program. They make sure one is comfortable with the process and ensure that every need of the student is met in a timely manner. The mentors work with you towards your dream score and assist you in every possible way

Strengths:

The content is tailored to what is tested on the GMAT. The course content is very easy to understand. The best part is that the basics of every topic is covered which makes it easy to solve difficult questions.

The dashboard is also interactive. Most of the doubts are already answered on the forum which makes it quick to understand the faltering points.

Would make the product better:

The number of hard difficulty question can be increased. Also, the number of mock tests can be increased or an option can be given to reset the mock test.

My overall experience with e-GMAT has been really pleasant. Their study plan and methods are really effective. I started my preparation with a score of 540. My basics were really weak but e-GMAT helped me build those basics and helped me improve. I could see a tremendous within the first 15 days. The strategies taught really helped. Even the questions bank is really extensive and has a wide variety of questions that gives you an ample set to identify the faltering points and improve.

I had a phobia for RC but the reading strategies really helped overcome it and improve my accuracy. Pre-thinking and falsification techniques in CR are also very crucial and helps a lot in eliminating wrong answer choices.

Special shoutout to Akash, one of the strategy experts at e-GMAT. He helped in creating an effective personalized study plan. His constant support and help was extremely crucial in planning the entire journey and was pivotal in making the right decisions at the right time. He really went out of his way to help me out and made every effort to make sure I score well.

I highly recommend e-GMAT to GMAT aspirants. The team really focuses on providing the best practices and plan tailored to every student. They also help you with additional content and lectures to help you clear concepts and make sure you learn and apply the concepts in the easiest way possible.

Strengths:

1. Meaning based approach in Sentence Correction
2. RC Reading strategies
3. And the most important, it's LMP (Last Mile Push) program

I enrolled with E-GMAT in November 2022 after my 4th GMAT attempt. I had scored a 620 in my 4th attempt and was extremely disheartened as the score was not representative of all the hard work I had put in over the past few months. Quite frustrated with the whole situation, I took the first e-gmat sigma mock 2 days after my 4th attempt and scored a 690. I had heard from my friends that e-gmat sigma mocks are a reliable predictor of your current gmat ability. After seeing the 690 score, I quickly signed up for the e-gmat online 360 (which includes both verbal and quant prep) and was amazed at the brilliance of questions and their solutions. Since I had already solved a lot of OG questions, I felt that the Scholaranium questions truly match up to the level of OG questions. After working for about a month on the egmat course, I reached out to their support team for enrollment to the LMP program. Since LMP is an invite only program and is offered to only few students, I was pleasantly surprised when Rida Shafeek responded to my request. Rida analysed my previous ESRs in detail and was ready to enroll me under her mentorship. She chalked out a comprehensive improvement plan based on my strengths and weaknesses, recommended some amazing test taking strategies and helped me push my score from 620 to 710 (Q49 V38 IR8). Thank you Rida for always being there and offering such valuable insights. Without your help I would have never crossed the 700+ score in GMAT. Thank you to the whole e-gmat team for dedicating all your efforts towards helping candidates.

The GMAT for me was easily the most daunting part of my application. After tons of hours spent researching and contacting seniors and friends who had given the GMAT, I purchased the e-GMAT online 360 course to assist me in my prep, and I was not disappointed. The verbal course is truly outstanding and gives you a fantastic framework to analyze and break down the questions to their bare bones, which enables you to eliminate the incorrect answer choices efficiently and confidently. Using their iron-clad process, I was able to boost my verbal score to a V38 (first time I ever prepared for or attempted the GMAT). The quant course is not talked about enough in my opinion, and is comprehensive in helping you master every single topic you would ever be tested on the GMAT. I achieved a Q50 on my first try thanks to the course.

However, more than the materials, I feel the place where e-GMAT truly shines is structuring your study plans and giving you an idea about where you stand along each step of the journey. The portal along with their extremely helpful support staff ensures you are following a consistent plan towards improvement, and if you clear the thresholds the portal asks from you, you are ready to shoot for a super elite score. Highly recommend the course to everyone.

User friendly platform

I was referred e-Gmat by a friend and I'm so glad I referred to the e-gmat platform to get through the GMAT exam.
Some highlights of the platform and the e-Gmat team that are relevant for anybody considering e-gmat for their preps
• e-Gmat provides a structured approach to preparing for the test- this process driven approach really helped me in the verbal section in which topics are interlinked to a large extent and can be overwhelming even for some one who knows good English.
• The PACE tool in QA helped me in saving time in concepts I already had a good hold
• The subject matter and strategy experts are very helpful. All communication happens through emails and I always got a prompt response for my queries. My mentor, Akash, provided a lot of assistance by preparing customised plans and strategies for the test- he always kept me motivated. Overall, the e-Gmat team is great. Never felt like I’m dealing with people here to make money- it was more like the team is there to help me- in my opinion its very important to feel that way.
• All in all, great team, fabulous platform- never faced any technical issues and strong credibility.

When I first heard about e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course, I was hesitant to enroll. I wasn't sure about taking an online course, and I was also a bit put off by the fact that there was no option to skip verbal videos. However, looking back now, I'm so glad that I took the leap and enrolled in the course. As it turned out, watching the verbal videos was incredibly helpful in building my foundation, and I'm convinced that it played a significant role in my score improvement.

While the course was video-based and didn't have any live instructors, the support that I received from the e-GMAT team was incredible. I had a few questions along the way, and I was always able to get in touch with someone who was knowledgeable and responsive. I want to give a special shoutout to Dhruv Joshi, who was particularly helpful in answering my questions and providing guidance throughout my preparation.

Prior to taking the e-GMAT course, I was quite disappointed with my first GMAT attempt, which resulted in a score of 640. However, thanks to the course's comprehensive content and effective teaching methods, I was able to improve my score by a whopping 60 points. My latest GMAT score is 700 (Q49, V36), which was a huge relief and has given me the confidence to pursue my MBA goals.

Overall, I would highly recommend e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score. While I was initially hesitant, I'm so glad that I decided to take the course. The support from the e-GMAT team was invaluable, and the course itself was instrumental in my score improvement.

Strengths:

Course material is a strength
Their Support team is very resourceful

Would make the product better:

The verbal section needs AI.
Support team can be proactive in asking if their students have difficulties
I didnt talk to the support team until i had severe difficulties.I would've probably done the prep faster if the support team were in constant touch with me since the very start instead of waiting for me to ask for help

The links that are sent to Us when we ask for help should be readily available in our dashboard
ie- for trouble in Verbal watch this video on visualisation by harsha
It will help a lot of students

I had a score improvement of 130 points.
I went from being super weak in verbal from v22 to v35
The main USP is the help/support
I suggest everyone to be in constant touch with the egmat support team.Talk to them atleast once a week and ask them for tips and vids to improve
ask them for help they are the best out there.
I was struggling with everything in verbal
I reached out to the support team in desperation they sent links to videos which helped me a lot.

All i want to say to people reading this is
Make sure you give yourself adequate time for prep
I thought i would complete my prep in 2 months but actually felt like i was never prepared
Finally even though i still felt like i needed more time
I just booked a date and gave the exam

You dont need to be perfect at the first try
Please dont think the way i did
I thought i will first perfect myself and then book the exam date.This led me to go in to a downward spiral where i was prepping day in and day out without any foreseeable date.
Just book the exam date and give it
You can iterate on it if you feel like you need better
