I am very glad I chose e-gmat to help me in my preparation. I had heard about them from my friend who had referred to their material after first trying other organizations and not getting his target score. Given I was short on time, I knew I had to strategize and refer to material that would be structured enough to help me cover all my bases and yet something I could go through efficiently. The e-gmat material came to my rescue with an amazingly well put together course for verbal, quant and IR. I started my preparations in December and had completed the main material by March. The online platform helped me stay on track continuously letting me know how many more hours I had to put in for each topic. But the best part was the PACE engine which is in built into the course and which helped me identify areas where I was good and could skip altogether. This reduced my overall prep time, leaving sufficient time to work on my weaker sections. The e-gmat material also has cementing quizzes which help solidify your concepts and has the ability to build custom quizzes. Each of these were a big help especially closer to my examination day when I needed to focus on improving my time management. Overall, I am very happy I chose to go ahead with e-gmat and thankful to the team that put together such great content and helped me achieve my target score of 750 :)

You wont go wrong by taking a subscription of E-gmat. The course is structured to take you step by step from the basic theory to practice for GMAT level questions. The scholaranium is a huge database of practice questions, which also provides great analytics helpful for topic wise review. I took eGmat course based on a friend's recommendation and got quick results , especially for Quant. The mock tests provide analysis of your answers at a topic level and give insights on where you are going wrong. I personally went through a lot of questions twice in order to gain mastery of the subject and it reflects in me scoring 100% on SC in GMAT( per my ESR). The quant questions in the course might feel tough but it will set you up for a comfortable score in GMAT. I strongly feel that practicing from OG and scholaranium is more than enough to achieve your target GMAT score. My only feedback to the company is to increase the number of mock tests for better practice

How do you crack Gmat? This was the first google search that most of us do and get a lot of content on the internet advising - "what needs to be done". However , finding the right schedule and the material to follow still remains the most difficult thing to do!
As I started my journey last year in December , I thought just doing the Gmat official guide and giving as many mock tests as possible will get me a decent score.
Note: Absolutely no touch with books from the last 8 years
I had hard time concentrating and that increased my anxiety. After a month of preparation , I gave the test and got 460.

Hugely disappointed by my performance , I thought I have no where to go but that's when I saw one of the videos of e-gmat and that actually helped me understand one of the concepts. Immediately I took the e-gmat Online 360.

What I liked the most - The whole course is self paced and the concepts are in the form where it actually helps a person to visualise. To cement what one learnt there are quizzes and it actually breaks down where should one focus. It helped me get a hold on my concepts, increase my speed and build the confidence on each module. I gave my Gmat on 10th May 2022 (with 6 weeks of preparation (solely e-gmat) and one mock test)
and received a score of 640 - V34,IR6,Q44. 180 points jump!!!!
With more practice and efforts , one can reach the desired score. My sole intention of writing this review - It actually helps. It helped me in 6 weeks to jump 180 points. I am sure with further support from their team I can even work to get a better score than this. Highly recommended

So I started my GMAT journey in September, straightway with the OGs without the help of any mentoring services available. Along my journey, I felt several hitches, and it ultimately reflected in my final score too. I ended up getting a score of 640 which was really heartbreaking. The PG course that I was looking forward to needed anything above 700. There are a lot of concepts and patterns that need to be cracked in order to hit the 700 mark. That’s where egmat came in and acted as the backbone of my journey. I delve deep into the verbal videos and noted the concepts thoroughly. In Quant, I got 49 or 50 in the mocks that I gave, so I didn’t practice it much. But it was a personal choice, I wouldn’t recommend that. Please go through all the videos on the egmat course.
After the videos I jumped on the Scholaranium which felt like the exact replica of the GMAT exam. The period from September to November was really hectic for me. I was working as a developer, something that I scarcely liked. It was the initial phase of my job, so I had to attend training after work. In addition to this, I was looking for the PG course that suits my expectations. This may look simple, but it's a whole new world out there with a plethora of specialized courses. That took a considerable time. After all these, I would sit down and practice for my GMAT exam. I knew that I have grasped the concepts, but still I couldn’t ace my scholaranium quizzes. Two and a half months passed, I was on the verge of finishing my question pool and still no progress.
At this point in time, it's easy to give up and just think that maybe it's not possible. But I calmed myself down took a couple of days off and soon realized that GMAT doesn’t only check your conceptual knowledge, it also checks your mindset. It's about how you approach questions and how you deal with them. After all my daily chores, the exhaustion wouldn’t allow me to be calm and solve questions with proper concentration. So firstly I quit my job, fixed my daily routine and after a short break I tried to give it another shot. I was out of scholaranium quizzes and most of the OG questions. I started looking for similar resources that could offer me the same level of English as GMAT, and what’s better than the American editorials. So I got The New York Times subscription and started reading 4-5 articles daily while keeping the concepts that I learned in the egmat course in my mind.
Find the article that you find interesting and read it with full concentration. You’ll find everything there modifiers, subjunctive tense etc.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/science/burrowing-owls-transplants.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage§ion=Science.
After around 2 and a half weeks of dedicated reading, I attended my remaining questions and I could actually recognize the patters and concepts in the questions At this point in time, I felt a little confident and booked my exam date for 24th December. Ultimately, I managed to get a 700+ score and the feeling was just gratifying.
One last thing, do maintain an error log. It may seem frustrating, but you’ll see the difference.

Although I purchased the course material in the early January, unfortunately I could start my preparation quite late.
eGMAT provides a very structured schedule based on the hours I can put for the preparation. Keeping up with the schedule helped me in structuring my preparation for Quant smoothly.
The Quant section of eGMAT is very thorough, structured and detailed. The experts do not want students to rely merely on the equations and formulae but rather on the logic behind those formulae. This approach ensured me that I could solve questions confidently even if I forget the formulae in the test hall. The diagnostic tests after every module also helped me to seal my learnings and use it on mock questions. The video answer solutions are beautifully created in a step-by-step method. In addition, the query forum for Quant section is lively and the experts take no time in replying back!
I was also assigned a mentor who kept an eye on my progress in quant section and provided suggestions to improve myself. The feedbacks assisted me further in boosting my confidence and making me test ready!
All in all, my experience with e-GMAT was amazing as I got a very good hold in Quants which in turn helped me to score a 700 with Q49 and finally securing a seat in INSEAD MBA D'23. For the future GMAT aspirants looking for a strong full proof Quant preparation, I would recommend E-GMAT Quant modules.

Yes, you read it right. In this review, I’m going to provide a brief on how to achieve 700+ through a structured approach and how e-gmat helped in achieving the same. Being a decent student throughout my life, I imagined I’d sail through the Gmat test without much hindrance. So, I attempted the exam with only 2 weeks of prep, solving only OG questions. Alas, my initial Gmat attempt showed me the reality, wherein I was only able to score a 690, much lower than what I had expected. I spoke to a few of my friends and colleagues who had scored exceptionally well in Gmat and came to know about the e-gmat course. I tried the free trial and was impressed by the structured approach that the course followed. You will find below the strategy I had followed during my prep:

1. Get your basics right – Many of us (including me) believe that the basics required for the GMAT are not important and straightaway dive into solving questions. While you might get a decent chunk of questions right during your prep phase, you might not get it right in the actual exam. And the reason here is that you are not selecting the correct answer choice for the right reason. This is where e-gmat’s step-by-step video courses help you in building the foundation. The videos provide you with the basics and make sure (through its cementing process)) that you learn those skills before moving to difficult questions.
2. Understand your weakness – Inherently GMAT is an exam that covers a wide variety of topics and while it is a good idea to cover every topic thoroughly it might not be the most optimum way to go about it. Since each individual has a different background, everybody will have a different set of strengths and weaknesses. Hence, analyzing the weakness would help you in optimizing your study plan. This is where e-gmat’s Scholaranium 2.0 helps the most. This platform’s analytical view not only helps you in understanding your weaknesses but also helps track your improvements in these subsections.
3. Train your mind – Gmat is all about training your mental muscles. With ~1.5 mins/question, Gmat doesn’t give you the bandwidth to do a detailed analysis during the actual exam. Hence, it is important to do your homework before the exam. And the way to do it is to internalize different techniques to solve different types of questions. E-gmat provides you with all the techniques that you will need, to solve high difficulty questions in a limited time. Initially, I had a dreadful time figuring out why my accuracy did not stabilize in the verbal section. The answer was, that I never focused much on techniques. Through e-gmat’s course, I came across techniques like the meaning-based approach in SC, pre-thinking in CR & reading strategies in RC. Once, I had internalized these strategies, I was able to improve my accuracy and stabilize it as well. E-gmat also helps you in internalizing the techniques through its cementing process and detailed explanation of each question.
4. Make yourself test ready – Most of us consider test readiness by simply giving numerous mocks. While it might work for a few, it doesn’t work for everybody. Getting yourself test-ready also requires a step-by-step approach. E-gmat’s Scholaranium 2.0 and the SigmaX mock test aid you in this process. While Scholaranium 2.0 helps you in getting yourself test ready at a sectional level, SigmaX mocks help you in building stamina and make you test ready from an end-to-end exam perspective. Further, SigmaX mocks also give you detailed insights into where you are going wrong at a subsectional level, so that you can go back and strengthen those areas. There are a good 5-6 actual GMAT-like mocks, which you can use to track your progress towards your dream score. Additionally, these tests also help you in building the strategy for the d-day. In other words, you don’t need to answer every question correctly, so these mocks help you in strategizing which type of questions to guess, when to guess, etc.

Last but not the least, Gmat prep can be frustrating (and mentally draining) for some of us and that is where you need a little bit of push. Gmat offered me a dedicated mentorship in this regard. My GMAT mentor Rida Shafeek was extremely helpful in pushing me in the last phase of the journey (through personalized videos and hyper-specific plans) and gave me the direction I needed.

My learning from this journey – “GMAT is more a test of your ability to strategise than a test of your superior Mathematics or English knowledge.”

I was especially facing difficulties in understanding Verbal section of the GMAT exam. I appeared for GMAT in the middle of 2021 and scored 640. With a Quant score of 50 and a Verbal score of 26, my GMAT score dream appeared slipping out of my hands. One of my friends who was already preparing from e-GMAT suggested me to try the platform.
Although I had intended to seek help only in Verbal section, e-GMAT's Quant concept modules and practice sections were a major help as well.
eGMAT's three step approach- understanding the question from the meaning perspective, finding possible errors based on the concerts learned in the tutorials and assessing all the wrong options- came in handy for my Verbal score improvement.
I could not only understand the nuisances of typical grammar being asked in the GMAT exam, but also apply them in the stimulated mock tests. (You can see how I applied the parallelism of not only, but also right here. ;) ). I could improve my score in Verbal from a below average 26 to a good 41 with the help of e-GMAT.
They have started a wonderful approach for those students who are good in Quant- the PACE or Personalized, Adaptive Course Engine- that saves a lot of time in preparing for Quant portion.

I started with eGMAT during early January, prior to that I had a very little idea about the preparation and course structure of GMAT.
eGMAT not only helped me understood the course structure and concepts, they tought concepts in a very simple way that was very easy to learn.
They don't focus on shortcuts for a question rather they help you approach a question with all conceptual understanding which helps a lot as it enables to solve any type of question.
Their video based learning is such that in 3 months time I was ready to take the GMAT and score 700.

The course developed by e - gmat is very useful. It covers all topics in detail in verbal as well as quant. The dashboard and test analysis is also very insightful.
For verbal, it is probably the best online course out there.
The only issue I faced was relatively low number of practice questions and mock tests available with the course. Would appretiate if more verbal practice questions and atleast 10 mocks are provided along with the course.
The counselling service provided by e - gmat is also very insightful. They help you in your preparation and provide daily targets to prepare you for the d-day.

I began my GMAT journey back in July 2021. I was flooded with a huge amount of resources online, did whatever felt right to me and scored a disappointing 630. Fast forward to January 2022. I decided to give the GMAT another shot. I knew that I needed a structured approach this time. I already knew about E-GMAT as I had used some of their resources in my last attempt, and I decided to go for it!

This turned out to be the best decision! I was able to find all that I lacked in my previous attempt. I was confident about my Verbal, but my Quant needed a lot of work! So, I went through the course in detail. Thankfully, the Xpert architecture in the Quant course helped me save a lot of time. The meaning-based approach was very useful in Verbal. I could clearly make out a difference in the way I was solving the SC questions before and after the course. In CR, I found the pre-thinking approach especially useful. What helped me the most were the error logs and the cementing quizzes after every module. I found it frustrating at first to note down every mistake and my thinking behind it while filling the error logs, but I feel this was a real gamechanger. The cementing quizzes helped me build a solid foundation and boosted my confidence(Which is exactly what I needed especially in Quant)

Another thing that I found extremely useful was the Q&A forum. Personally, I did not find the need to ask many questions as the discussions were already available in the existing threads. But for all the questions I asked, I got a very quick response.

Coming to the SigmaX mocks, I did not find the need to write any other mocks. The SigmaX mocks were pretty on the spot. I scored a 720, 700 and 750 in the mocks which was pretty much consistent with what I scored on the actual test. I found the detailed analysis of the performance at the end of every mock to be very beneficial. I used this data to find out where I was wasting time and strategize for the D-day.

Finally, I would like to give a huge shoutout to my mentors DJ, Rida and the entire support team at E-GMAT. I couldn't have done this without them! I was taken in as a part of the last mile program and Rida helped every step of the way. She helped me create a specific plan and the insights she provided were very useful. The calls I had with her throughout helped me plan, strategize and most importantly identify my strengths and weaknesses. She also suggested some customized tests to me to overcome my timing and other issues.

This is more or less my journey to a 730! I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a structured approach to their preparation and achieving their target score!
