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.

Having experimented with the free trials of various prep providers, I decided to go for e-GMAT considering its simple interface and highly structured prep plan.

I simply followed the order in which the entire course was laid out by e-GMAT - the order of concepts and the order in which every concept was structured (pre-concept quizzes, concept learning files, post concept quizzes, cementing quizzes and ability quizzes). This helped me methodically deep dive into concepts, cement my understanding and build test taking EQ at the same time.

I found both verbal and quants basics course to be very effective as building block tools, specially for students who aren't strong in either. Specific e-GMAT strategies such as pre-thinking in verbal and process skills in quant are game changers. Constant AI-assisted analytics insights throughout the course were very helpful in managing time efficiently - I focused more on my weak areas and kept nourishing the strong ones.

The question bank is amazing. It is at least 2 levels tougher across all difficulty levels than the actual GMAT, making the actual test sort of a cake walk. Scholaranium is, again, a game changer. Sigma X mocks simulate actual test environment very closely, and post test analytics are superb - they helped me analyze how my speed and accuracy varied as the difficulty kept going up or down. This helped me develop the right EQ for the actual test by consciously tracking the time to determine which questions to attempt or let go.

Overall, I'd highly recommend e-GMAT for GMAT preparations. If used consistently, 2-3 hours a day for 5 months can easily land you 700+.

My GMAT Journey began in last year, when I took the e-gmat subscription in June 2021. Before attempting the actual GMAT, I gave two official mocks and scored 730 and 710. I was confident to get a score of atleast 700, but to my utter surprise, it turned out to be a 670 (Q50, V30) when I first attempted the GMAT in Aug 2021. I revised all the error logs, scholaranium quizzes and re-attempted the GMAT in Oct 2021, but again failed to get anywhere close to my target score of 730-740. I was completed clueless as to where I am faltering.

My confidence about my abilities took a serious hit and I decided to take a break before re-attempting the GMAT. Moreover, as all B-Schools had their deadlines in early January for Round 2, I decided to take a break till March before starting my GMAT preparation again.

I decided to re-enroll into e-GMAT in Last week of March 2022, only to focus on cementing my test taking abilities. I first revised all my notes which I had made in the previous attempts. Two months into the course, I felt a need for guidance regarding the assessment of my performance so far. That’s when I first wrote to e-GMAT support team and was replied back by Abha, one of the mentors and strategy expert at e-GMAT. Her detailed analysis about my abilities on the scholaranium platform helped me to build up my preparation brick by brick. Abha constantly provided me the stats and details about my weaker areas and created customized quizzes for me, something which helped me strengthen my weaker areas. She constantly showed me the true picture of my abilities and helped me imbibe confidence.
Based upon multiple quizzes suggested by Abha, I came to realise that it was only meaning based approach where I was lacking and I started to work towards it. Specially, in longer sentences, I identified only the subject and the verb pairs and omitted the details in between – an approach that helped me immensely to boost my SC capabilities. In CR, I fumbled upon assumptions questions and adopted a strategy to just focus on the conclusion and see if it breaks down after negating the five answer choices.

After attempting multiple custom quizzes as suggested by Abha, and two official sigma mocks wherein I scored 730 and 740, I finally took an online GMAT date of 12th Sept 2022. However, I was completely shattered to see a 670 on the screen. Totally clueless and feeling absolutely dumb, I approached Abha for her guidance. Though I was doubting my abilities heavily, Abha asked me to book a test date within next 10 days and suggested that all the parameters on the e-GMAT platform suggests that I have a 730-740 ability. I blindly trusted her and booked my test date for 23rd Sept 2022.

In the last 10 days, I figured out the reason why I fumbled in my attempts. It was not because of ability but because of exam readiness that I was faltering. Moreover, the online GMAT didn’t really suit me as the feel of a proctor constantly monitoring you kept ticking me at the back of my mind. In the last 10 days, Abha helped me to get into a mindset of exam readiness and not focus on the end result. She prepared sort of a motivational video wherein she mentioned that she has absolutely no doubt that I had a 740 ability. She asked me to take a sigma mock 2 days before my GMAT and I scored a 740 in the same. I built up the mindset in the last 2 days and went to the test center with only one thing in mind – not at all focus on the score. Just focus on the question and apply a meaning-based approach that I had practiced. Finally, words cant describe the happiness when I finally saw a 720 on the screen. Though it was 10 short of my target score, nonetheless I was more than happy and happily accepted the score. I wholeheartedly thank my GMAT mentor Abha for all the guidance and support - be it strategical, motivational, and emotional. Big thumps from my side!!

The e-GMAT, popular for their reviews, ratings can get anyone's attention.

I used this course for 6 months but couldn't score more than 620 (V-25).

Positive: They cover SC to the depths. Once I remembered all the rules, exceptions, figuring out any SC error was easy. pre-thinking was good technique.

Negative: I felt bad with their responses as well. Found them little arrogant in dealing with my problems. Sometimes things can't be explained on e-mails, they should learn this. When thinking of course, I was able to connect with them on video call but when I was stuck with same score, there was no one.
RC is not well designed. GMATNinja's video are far better than the RC part of the course.

Overall, it may work for someone or may not but I wouldn't recommend anyone to blindly get trapped in ratings etc game. Do speak to fellow students and figure out.
Applies to all other courses out there.
