In my opinion, E-gmat course a great source to prepare for the GMAT exam. The verbal and quantitative sections in the prep course are designed in such a manner to provide comprehensive review of the topics that you can find in the real GMAT exam.
First of all, the course has specific subtopics in quant and verbal, in which one can solidify his fundamentals. The quant section, in my opinion, is generally little bit harder than the real exam, which is a good thing, since preparing for harder questions will definitely make it easier to score well in the real exam.
Also, the course has the scolaranium section, where one can practice a ton of questions with any difficulty and with detailed explanations as to why the right answer is the right answer and why all the others are wrong.
To sum up, I greatly recommend this prep company to anyone who is just starting his GMAT journey or to anybody who is dissatisfied with his current score and wants to improve his score.
Dear Hovhannes,
Thank you for posting a review about your experience with the e-GMAT Course. Your 80-point improvement is wonderful, and I know this because I was part of it 😊 I remember this clearly because I was the first one to respond to you!
Here is how you started: https://success.e-gmat.com/Strategy-Help
I also remember you were struggling with CR for a while in between and when you started strategically reviewing these questions using the video solutions, your accuracy improved by leaps and bounds!
I am glad you could leverage our course to improve and wish you all the best for your applications.
Warm Regards,
Dhananjay(DJ)
I was suggested the verbal online course by a friend who used it a few years ago. The verbal section is very elaborate. It covers everything from basics and prepares you to tackle the difficult SC questions. I improved significantly and learned to tackle the SC questions with a structured approach, saving precious time.
The CR section also introduces you to the different types of questions you may find GMAT and gives you enough practice to learn. The RC section could have some more difficult questions. I found the RC of GMAT to be more difficult than what I solved in RC practice questions.
I bought the quant course only to practice questions and did not go through the whole course as it covered maths basics and I didn't need it, but it is great for someone who does not have a Maths background.
I really liked the Scholarnium with clear classifications of questions by difficulty level. The analysis after you give a test is very helpful to understand where you can improve.
The mock tests were good but I didn't find them very close to the real GMAT. It is good for practice but please do not take the scores seriously, as the marking scheme is very different from what GMAT has. But it does teach you time management and gives you a glimpse of what to expect in real GMAT.
Overall I recommend this to every GMAT enthusiast, especially its verbal course.
Dear Shweta,

Since you were very diligent in your entire approach as a whole, success was inevitable, it was just a matter of time.
This is one of the most important traits for a student which is not followed by the majority of the test-taking population. Your sheer resilience and determination made this possible for you and I am very happy.
I love the fact that you liked the whole analysis that the Scholaranium Platform provides an eGMATer.
All the best for your next steps! Do well.

Entering the GMAT world was so overwhelming with a ton of options available everywhere and I initially looked at the prep companies with a lot of scepticism. Once I was done exploring GmatClub and attending various webinars, I could figure out the most prominent players. I came across E-GMAT during that time, attending their free webinars every weekend to gain familiarity with the GMAT but never actually seriously considering it. I only took the plunge once my GMAT score had plateaued at 690 after 4 attempts over 2 years of self-preparation. Looking in hindsight now, how I wish I had gone for it earlier. Attending those free webinars, I always thought that E-GMAT had a methodical and simplified approach to the application of concepts and it became the reason I trusted them over others.
The product that E-GMAT has created is just phenomenal. A simple interface, yet one containing a ton of insights and data that gives you critical feedback points throughout your prep. If utilized in the correct way, following the step-by-step process that E-GMAT advocates, the Scholaranium platform is designed to help you succeed. The concept files, the Scholaranium question bank and the mocks are seamlessly integrated within the product and you don’t need to go outside this ecosystem.
The verbal prep from E-GMAT was an eye-opener for me. The course starts with strengthening the most basic fundamentals of understanding and constructing a sentence through the Master comprehension course. It significantly reduces your mistakes and prep time across all the sections. Mastering the meaning-based approach, deeply embedded throughout the SC course, will alone improves your SC ability on GMAT. The logical intended meaning of the question will always take precedence over the grammar rules.
Similarly, the pre-thinking approach taught in CR section forces you to think of possible answers before attempting a question until it becomes a habit. The attention given to each question type and subtype in CR course provides so many different perspectives of looking at a question stem. The course teaches the concept, and the approach and solidifies both through application files.
Every person has somewhat a unique approach to Reading comprehension; however, RC ability is built over time and the only way to do that is to read a lot. RC ability is tested by the GMAT over a range of topics that you may like or dislike. E-GMAT RC course focuses a lot on reading strategies that encourage you to read more actively and understand the intent of the author.
Quant course is even better. The course advocates a series of steps that help you solve a question under 2 minutes effectively. Its flexible enough to let you skip the stronger areas and extensive enough to work on your weak areas. Needless to say, all concepts tested on GMAT are present in Quant course and solving difficult level questions methodically gives a real boost to your quant ability whether you have a quant background or you don’t.
The scholaranium has one of the best question banks I have come across my prep and it’s aided by a lot of data points that help you identify your weak areas and fine tune your prep. You can see the performance statistics for the individual sections such as assumption, strengthen, etc. and further drill down to your performance over a number of attempted questions as well as the difficulty level. The takt time can also be seen to identify any timing issues over a particular set of questions. All these stats are based on the questions attempted via customizable quizzes that highlight non-ideal issues such as luck factor, rush factor, etc. The answers explanations are superb and in case of any query, every question has a discussion thread where answers are provided by E-GMAT experts.
E-GMAT mocks are also really good and closely resemble your ability as per GMAT. I can vouch for it because I had tried both official and Manhattan mocks, which are also awesome. The insights provided with the mocks are mind-boggling. They give you the sense of your block-wise timing, accuracy, etc. Its ESR + additional cool info. There are 6 Sigma-X mocks available in E-GMAT with each having its own question bank, so no repetitions. Leveraging my analysis of the mock, I transcended from a score of 660 on my sigma-X mock to 740 on my actual GMAT just 3 days later.
Lastly, the support provided by E-GMAT mentors complements everything mentioned above and really is the difference between getting a good (sub-700) vs an awesome (720+) score. I was lucky enough to be engaged in the Last mile push program by Dhananjay (DJ) who gave me a structured and personalized plan right from the beginning. I was already saturated with 4 attempts on GMAT and yet I learned so many things in my 5th attempt that I didn’t before. DJ pushed me a lot to do that introspection and get over my weak areas. He helped me analyse my performances through the error logs and came up with key inputs or training videos from time to time whenever I got stuck in a particular section. He kept me accountable by setting up the weekly milestones. There was I time when I got frustrated and wanted to move to another section but DJ quickly identified that word problems was my weak area and helped me improve my ability to 80% from 30% in the section. Despite helping so many students, his replies were always prompt and always carried I tinge of motivation that is so much needed when you are trying to ace the GMAT.
To sum up, if you want all-in-one package for GMAT prep, you don’t need to look elsewhere.
Dear Ankur,
Congratulations on scoring a 740, you are the first student from my cohort this year to score a 740. Always makes it extra awesome 😊 Your journey is special in SO MANY WAYS! I am reading this line a little more frequently now – “I wish I had known about this(e-GMAT) earlier”
But the tenacity you have shown to get to this point is phenomenal. 5 GMAT Attempts can really take a lot out of you, and you have shown that improving from 690 to 740 is more about strategy and perseverance.
I am glad you found Mocks you can trust and with the wealth of ESR+ data you and I were able to create hyper-specific plans.
ESR + Data: https://success.e-gmat.com/ESR-Plus-Data
A lot of people look at the “easy way-out approach” in RC or just I am going to read a 1000 RC’s and will improve, you now know it does not work.
RC Reading Strategies e-GMAT: https://success.e-gmat.com/RC-Reading-Strategies
Finally, very few people talk about support, but I am sure you know how critical it can be. I am glad I could help you break this plateau and hit a 740! You truly understand what LAST MILE embodies. I love it 😊
Thank you for taking this time to review us. I appreciate it.

I've had the e-GMAT course for a few months now and must say that it's a great investment made along my GMAT journey, especially after I enrolled in eGMAT's LMP program. Below I'll summarize a few points about the e-GMAT platform and the LMP program that I found particularly valuable, as well as a few tips on how best to use eGMAT's course. Hopefully this can help you on your preparation journey!
The Platform
1. The Verbal Course. The bulk of my focus on eGMAT's platform was in its SC and CR courses, and I must say that the SC course in particular was a complete game-changer. The combination of 1) long and comprehensive list of grammar topics on the platform and 2) eGMAT's unique meaning-based approach helped me tremendously in my SC preparation, helping me push from SC ~70% to 90%+. The "Mastering Comprehension" modules in the Verbal course was also very useful, since it teaches not factual knowledge but a way of thinking that helps you focus on the core task of identifying meaning and errors in SC questions.
2. The Quant Course. Compared to my usage of the Verbal course, I spent relatively less time on the Quant course. However, I was still able to see that the course covered an extensive list of all the topics that you need to know for the exam. Not only that, but there were also tips and tricks for individual topics that can help you minimize the time you spend on each question, and the explanations for all the topics were very clear and easy to understand.
3. Scholaranium. I have to say that Scholaranium is by far the best Q-bank platform that I have seen in my journey - it allows you to customize your practice according to your individual progress. The Sigma-X mocks were also fantastic and mimic the algorithm used in the real exam. I really liked how each question's topic is indicted in the review screen for the mocks, so you can go back to each specific module if you find that you are still lacking in that particular topic.
The LMP Program
I reached out to the eGMAT team a few weeks before my 4th GMAT attempt in a panic attack at not seeing my score improve after months of preparation. For people who don't know, the LMP program is a mentorship program offered by eGMAT to selected students (so it's not a public purchase option on their website), and the plan is to have a mentor help you during the last few days/weeks of your preparation journey to pinpoint and get rid of your last weaknesses before the real exam. DJ quickly replied to my email, and we met together to go over the ESR for my previous 2 GMAT attempts. In our meeting, DJ analyzed my ESR extensively, and I was really surprised at how quickly he could see where exactly I was going wrong. Based on these weak spots, DJ made a customized 10-day plan for me that included 3 components: Verbal, Quant, and Test-Readiness. Each section was extremely detailed as to what I needed to do EXACTLY for those last few days of my attempt: for example, during our meeting DJ quickly pinpointed that one major weakness/mistake that I was making in Verbal was that I took too much time to solve some of the questions that I still ended up getting wrong, so he told me what exact steps I needed to take to reduce the time I spend on Verbal questions. With his customized plan and the eGMAT platform, I improved from 660 (my first Sigma-X mock score) to 710 (Official GMAT score). After my GMAT, I also discussed my exam and preparation experience with DJ, and I've decided to try the GMAT one more time to aim for a higher score. I have no doubt that, with the help from DJ and the eGMAT platform, I can push my score even higher.
How to Use the Platform
The course at eGMAT teaches you a 3-step approach that helps you first cement your foundational knowledge and then practice and perfect your skills at answering specific question types, and I have to say that these 3 steps held a lot of importance in the final stages of my journey. It is truly not the case in which you can just do all the questions in Scholaranium and hope that magically lifts up your score - it is extremely important to follow the 3-step approach and keep an error log with eGMAT's error log templates to make sure that you know where you are faltering in your question-solving process. The best series of steps that helped me to solidify my knowledge and skills were as follows:
Learn basic knowledge in courses --> Do preliminary practice questions within individual modules --> Review concepts if necessary --> Begin taking small quizzes on different sections in Scholaranium --> Keep updating the error logs --> Find out which areas I was weakest in and go back to those specific modules --> Practice specifically with those question types
Dear jlo1234,
I love the username by the way! Jennifer Lopez is one of my favorite singers, haha! Congratulations on scoring 710 and I am glad the LM program brought you quick success! 10 days, was it? I thoroughly enjoyed this engagement. I like your mini-guide around our course and the LM program – so innovative 😊
50 points 10 days Here is how: https://success.e-gmat.com/ESR-Data-J
I want to applaud you for 2 things –
1) Your faith & trust in me and the advice I gave Right off the bat when we did the call, I felt that you were bound for success because you understood the value in what I was saying and followed through with the plan.
2) Diligence Creating a hyper-specific plan: I created this, but you followed it. From my experience anyone that follows even 90% of this plan – they improve their chances of success by 2X or 3X.
Hyper specific Plan Teaser (I know so many people want this): https://success.e-gmat.com/Hyperspecific-Plan-Teaser
I don’t think there is a review that gives someone a roadmap on how to use our course till now which makes this review ultra-special.
I look forward to helping you increase this score too! Above and beyond always.
Warmest Regards,
Dhananjay(aka DJ)
I started off with my preparation in April 2021. The biggest challenge for me was to break the inertia of not studying for 6 years during the course of my professional life. I have a 6-day working schedule, so tsking out ample amount of time to study was challening. I started off with Manhattan guide of Quant because I had been from Engineering background and Quant flows easily for me. After some time I realised that it got quiet boring for me to go through the concepts from that book. I consulted one of my friends and he suggested me to take an eGMAT course. I read many reviews of e-GMAT on GMAT Club and found it quiet interesting.
I enrolled in the Q+V course in May-21. I did a mistake of not taking a sigma-X mock at the beginnning, so I am not aware where I stood before I started off with the course. I started off with Sentence correction in Verbal course. The course was very detailed and comprised of everything required for the SC course. The forum of e-GMAT is an excellent feature. All the previous doubts asked are available on the form. So if any doubt arises in the topic, I found them discussed on the forum previously. There is a ready reference of all the doubts other students have regarding the topic/module that is being studied. I made very detailed notes of SC which eventually helped me to revise all the concepts of the module at a go. While going through the course, I realised the English we used in the normal conversation s way too flawed. The main punch line for the SC is the meaning based approach. I firstly learnt to understand the meaning of the sentence by breaking it into small chunks and then check for grammatical errors in the sentence. It took me about a month to complete the course. I practiced SC from scholaranium and used strategic review to analyse the mistakes I was doing. The strategic review is also an amazing process to analyse mistakes. It actually points out where you are faultering. I used it to improve on SC.
I further did CR modules. CR is a logic based analysis in which there are 2-3 elements linked with each other. We need to analyse those linkages and find the must-be-true situations for the conclusion to hold true. Accordingly, for the strengthener and weakener questions we need to hit one of those linkages to make the argument strong and weak respectively. e-GMAT gave a very clear idea of how to attempt a CR question. The main punch line for CR is pre-thinking. Just take around 15-20 seconds after reading the passage to apply negation test. This really helped me to reach the assumption of a given passage. I faced problem when I pre-thinked well and the answer choices didn't have any suitable choice matching my pre-thinked assumption. I used to panic and mark any option randomly in those cases. I used scholaranium a lot to counter this problem in CR. Of course, strategic review is again a saviour. It points out exactly where you falter. So I was good at pre thinking, but bad at analysing and visualising the answer choices. There is much of probability that the answer choice won't match the pre-thinked assumption. So main thing I learnt was to not to panic and try to visualise what answer choice is pointing onto.
I further did RC modules. RC is a very scoring area. e-GMAT mainly outlined how to comprehend the passage at one-go. So, the key to attempt RC is to read the passage with full involvement and again breaking the sentences into smaller chunks to understand the idea presented by each sentence. The key-words play a very important role in deciding such roles. So if you comprehend the passage properly by may be making very short notes, you dont need to come back to the passage while attempting the questions. I faced problem when the passage was out of my interest area like biology or humanities. I found it boring and didn't read the details through it and eventually faultered in the questions.Also, I was taking a lot of time to complete one passage with all the questions. Its just that you need to believe that whatever is aked in the question is right there in the passage. You just need to read and comprehend the passage properly. So once I came out of the comfort zone and read the passage with full compassion and made short notes while reading, I was able to solve the RC questions in minimal time while it took me 5 minutes to read the whole long passage.
Even though I was good at quant from childhood, I decided to revise all the concepts at one go from e-GMAT modules. They were quiet comprehensive and you may personalize the study plan according to your strong and weak areas in Quant. I took quiet a bit of time to complete quant from the e-GMAT modules. I realised few of my weak areas and spent more time on it to improve overall accuracy of quant.
After completing quant and its practice, I gave my first sigma mock ang got a 680 in the mock. There were few areas in both verbal and quant which I neede to fix. I revised all the areas I faultered and again gave a mock and score 650. It was quiet shocking for me. Specially in verbal, I was struggling a lot with the timing. I was able to complete 30 questions and randomly guessed last 6 questions due to time constraints. It was just one week from exam and the results shook me up.
Dhananjay came to my rescue. He told me that I am having process related gaps in SC and CR which need to be fixed. He also advised me to reschedule the GMAT by around 20-30 days. I took a day to think and decided to reschedule the exam. I postponed the exam by a month. DJ
helped me to identify the areas I needed to work on. While solving the SC problem, I wasn't focusing on the sentence structure. I worked on the sentence structure and practiced with OG questions. Initially the timing to complete a SC question increased from 1.5 to 2.5 minutes for me but eventually as I got used to with the process, making the sentence structure and solving the problem became a habit to me. It actually helped me to understand the intended meaning of the sentence and to identify the errors(grammatical and logical) in the sentence very easily.
Accordingly, I made an error log to identify the conceptual and process related gaps and kill the gaps appropriately.
For CR, DJ advised me to follow revision B module. I revised all the application files of the CR course and then solved questions from scholaranium. I further made an error log to identify the gaps. Also, he asked me to make a video of how I solve a CR question. DJ reviewed the same and told me that I am pre-thinking well and visualising the answer choices also. I need to work on negation test. I wasn't negating the statement properly. I worked on negation test of conclusion and answer choices. Eventually, I got better at solving CR.
For RC, I was taking quiet a bit of time to complete the passage. I practiced the comprehending part of the passage for some time and realised that the time to attempt the questions decreased.
I finally gave a mock and scored 720. I was still struggling with time in verbal in the last 2-3 question but I gained confidence that I can improve it further with a strategy. I decided to break the complete set of questions in verbal in equal parts and allocated time to the questions. I practiced it on GMAT club test and found that I improved my time management of verbal section.
For IR section, I just did the OG questions. I found them enough for practicing the real GMAT like IR questions. IR is a mix of verbal and quant.I found spending 1-2 days for IR was enough for me.
For AWA, I read on 7-8 passages on GMAT Club and Manhattan to get an idea of how a passage is written. I practiced 3 passages and found it enough.
Exam day experience: I had exam anxiety and slept barely for 4 hours before my exam. I meditated in the morning. I had headache due to lack of sleep but I was determined that I wont let it interfere during my exam. I just tried to pacify myself of all anxieties by deep breathing.I gave my exam in order - Q-V-IR-AWA. This order worked for me because the exam anxiety in the beginning gets down with my strong area- Quant; mind gets warmed up and I can concentrate better. I admit that if I would have slept for 4 more hours,the score would be at least 20 points more, but I managed to get a 710.(Q49-V38-IR6-AWA5)
Tips:
1. There is a lot of self control needed while doing such a preparation. I meditated intermittently to keep myself calm. One can follow the same.
2. In SC, look on the meaning first. Don't jump blindly for grammatically correct choices. There may be more that one choice which is grammatically correct but doesn't convey the intended meaning.
3. In SC, try to make sentence structure. It shall make your work easier to understand meaning and identify errors.
4. In CR, try to visualise the linkages between different elements and then prethink to reach on the assumption. Finally dont panic if you dont find the pre thinked assumption in the choices. Just visualise the choices keeping in mind the linkages.
5. In CR, try to check for must be true cases. There may be some cases that are necessary but not sufficient or sufficient but not necessary. Try to rule out such cases.
6. In RC, try to comprehend the passage as much as you can. Make very short notes to keep key words in mind. This will save your time in solving question related to the passage.
Thanks giving: e-GMAT has a big role to play in getting to that score. The forums have been amazing. The SMEs reply promptly to all the queries. For me, DJ made final fixing to push me further towards the score. I am very grateful to the complete team of e-GMAT.
Dear Ridhi,
When I read a review this descriptive and heartfelt, it makes all the work that we put into as a company worth it. Not just LMP, not just Forum support, not just a great course, not just powerful analytics but it becomes a PRODUCT THAT CARES FOR THE STUDENT. For me, it’s rare. Congratulations on the 710, I know how hard you have worked to get to this point 😊
The courage you showed to break those chains of inertia after not studying for almost 6 years is stuff that dreams are made of!

I honestly think that the most undervalued part of our product is our Forums. I know you made good use of them. A serious problem most students face when they begin studying for the GMAT is the lack of good explanations out there, not everyone is born with a V40 spoon in their mouths! :D
e-GMAT Forums: https://success.e-gmat.com/Forum-Support-Ridhi
I still remember the call we had! I told you that scoring a 700+ wasn’t possible in a week and you’d need 20-30 days. I know it took some time for you to consume that information but thank you for trusting my judgment. You gave me the opportunity to bring out the potential in you. This is when the entire teaching pedagogy from the SC, CR & RC came together.
I am so proud of the work you put into this, and I know you will crack the B-school you want soon!
All the best!

I took the GMAT in November of 2021 right before Thanksgiving. I scored a 660. I was super disappointed. I didn't know how to move forward. I saw all the online reviews e-gmat has, and I decided to take a call with on of there strategy experts. I explained to him that I was signing up for a re-take and that I was studying from the OG. He told me not to go down that route. I had very little time before my next exam which was only 2 weeks after my last attempt. I trusted e-gmat with my final preparations. I ended up scoring a 710! I was shocked how quickly things changed.
I wanted to highlight some specifics about the course. I primarily focused on the SC portion of the course because I needed a refresher. I was so impressed with how COMPREHENSIVE the entire course was. After taking 2 other well-known courses on this forum, I can hands down say e-gmat is the best. The meaning base approached really changed how I look at SC. Before I use to think it was all just random explanations and I was frustrated because I wasn't making progress. The meaning based approach made even the most difficult SC problems a breeze.
The support staff on the forums are there to answer your questions and they do so in a timely manner. The forums are also rich with queries from other students who share the same problems as you, so often you can just get your answer from prior posts. You will always see Payal and Stacey on the forums answering your questions. It feels good to know the same experts in the videos are answering your questions below.
Scholaranium 2.0 is such a game changer. I was so impressed with how gmat-like the questions were. There are so many questions in the bank and the explanations have both video and text explanations. Each answer is thoroughly explained.
Similarly, Sigma-X mocks are just so precise. They identify your true weak points down to subsection levels. This allows you to truly figure out your weaknesses and address them. Before I kind of just thought I knew what my weaknesses were, but this brought in the data to tell me exactly what they were. Without this I would not have been as effective in my studies.
The quant course is also unmatched. My biggest fear on quant was always seeing a new type of question on the test hat I had never seen before. This course really touches all of quant and leaves no stone unturned. The way the diagnostics and learning concept files are setup makes it super easy to approach quant with confidence. The video explanations are so through and the forums have rich answers. I was truly impressed with the level of quality and the breadth of problems on the quant course.
If you're at any stage of your gmat preparation, it's crucial that you check out e-gmat. The level of time, effort, and quality put into this platform is unmatched. I know because I was with 2 other platforms prior to e-gmat. I wish I could have gone back and just started with this platform. I would have saved so much time and headache. All around the best platform for gmat prep!!!!!!!!!
Dear Apexrex,
Congratulations on making it to the 700+ Club! A 50-point improvement from a 60 to a 710 in 2 weeks is exceptional. I am extremely happy for you.
Improving your score on such short notice was possible because you focussed on your weak areas and areas of improvement. I was going through your account, and I saw that even during that short amount of time, you did the SC course and parts of the RC Course where you had issues. The Screenshot below shows your attempt in the SC and the RC courses.
Link: https://success.e-gmat.com/course-stats-sc-rc
Good a good attempt in the course, you also did well in your Scholaranium Quizzes: both in Medium and Hard. Your weak areas in Sentence Correction turned strong, and you cleared the cut-offs in the Medium and Hard Questions. Refer to the screenshot below to understand this in more detail.
Link: https://success.e-gmat.com/scholaranium-stats-sc
I also loved the fact that your interactions in Forums were fruitful.
Overall, it was a short journey, but an exceptional one. And your hard work and diligence paid off well.
I wish you all the best for your applications and future endeavors. All the best!

DJ
I took up E-Gmat after doing a X-sigma mock test. What intrigued me was detailed the feedback on my verbal and quant ability - very similar to getting an ESR for the actual GMAT. This was unlike the first platform i was using and given the short time i had, I needed something prescriptive in telling me where i was struggling and give me targeted conceptual videos to do that. I love how E-Gmat equips with all the major habits that help you pass 700 - they provide you with error logs for each component, they have a conceptual quiz to test both your conceptual understanding and your GMAT test taking ability for that topic (a distinction that i only realised via e-Gmat), they also test not just your accuracy but your timing on certain questions. It helped me pinpoint my weaknesses so well for verbal especially where I struggled initially with understanding where in my "thinking" i was going wrong. It makes enforcing the discipline of getting concept right, getting test taking ability right and getting both accuracy & speed very straightforward, and makes attaining a good GMAT score more of a methodical process than a monumental task.
Scholaranium is TOUGH and super humbling but is integral to achieving high scores consistently because they have selected the right questions to target even the most nuanced understanding of concepts and test-taking skills. If you use the lectures, scholaranium, keep an error log, hitting 700+ is a straightforward. I find that extremely telling of a superior platform. Even after scoring 710, I am convinced i can do much better so have even extended my access so i can squeeze out the additional 40 points for my GMAT. I am confident e-GMAT will help me get there.
Dear ravk2709,
Congratulations on making it across the 700-barrier, you join the long list of e-GMAT achievers 😊
I am glad you spoke about Sigma-X Mocks because not only do they give you ESR + analysis, but they are also actually quite accurate! I am sure you would agree.

I love how you have written about equipping a student with good habits like an error log, revision, and focus on NOT JUST ACCURACY. This is so important to score a 700+ on the GMAT. And based on what I have read, you are a diligent student too.
Thank you so much for leaving such a great review and I wish you success in the LM program!

I was connected to one of the members of eGMAT prior to my purchase of the course. In the meeting I was shown around their website, the portal, Scholaranium 2.0, and the verbal course material.
Post my enrollment in the course, I was invited to an onboarding session in which I was told about the best practices on using the Scholaranium 2.0 and the course videos. I took a diagnostic test and based on the assessment of that, I was assigned a mentor (DJ!!) who gave me feedback on my ability and created an overall plan for my preparation, which revolved around the target score that I had specified.
The overall course is designed in a 3-stage manner and students have an option to skip to Stage II if they are confident about their skill levels in certain sections. Based on personal taste, I decided to go through the entire course since I felt that skipping a few concept files would mean that I am impatient :P
I was constantly in touch with DJ, on a weekly basis. He would share hyper-specific and personalized plans, particularly designed for my weak areas. They ranged from concept files, how to take revision notes, how to effectively revise etc. What helped in these feedback sessions/plans was that DJ was very calm and confident about the process. "Trust the process" really resonated with me during this journey. Along with that, eGMAT, with Scholaranium 2.0, utilizes quiz data to analyze weak areas within each subsection (SC, CR etc) and based on that the support team guide you on corrective actions.
I essentially followed the plan and took the Sigma X mocks when I was asked to go for it. Towards the end of my preparation, DJ had noticed a weakness in SC and gave me a Sentence Correction booster plan, that I followed throughout the last week before my exam date. I think it helped me refresh my ability and ensure that my ability is fresh for the main day.
Overall, the 6 month long journey was a very planned one, with lots of useful feedback and data. I think the mentorship program was a really huge factor in ensuring that everything is planned and executed well. I am glad I made that choice ^_^
Thanks, eGMAT!

Before I started my preparations with E-Gmat in May-21, I had already appeared for GMAT once in Jan-2019. It was my first attempt and I had performed poorly in that exam. That day i got to know that the rules are not enough to clear the GMAT. I took a break from GMAT and then decided to seriously prepare for it in Feb-2021. I thought of doing the OG and questions from GMAT Club. I majorly focused on Sentence Correction ,and the questions from OG and GMAT club did seem to improve my ability on SC. Since my performance in CR and RC was not upto mark, I decided to take some expert help. I got to know about E-GMAT from a friend of mine and decided to contact them. They asked me to write one sample test before suggesting anything. I was shocked to see that even after two years my score had not improved. I decided to go with E-GMAT complete package.
I took my first test(post E-Gmat subscription) on Sep-2 and scored a 680 with V-37 and Q-46. I was quite shocked by the quant score. Though it was an improvement, the score was way below my expectations
. I decided to reappear for the exam in November and started by focusing on Quant more. I finished almost all of the E-Gmat's quant questions. I gave the Online-GMAT but was let down by the glitches in the online software. Thanks to my proctor, GMAC refunded my money and I rescheduled my test for Dec-16. On the day of exam, I was not worried about the exam. I finished my sections well within time and was surprised to see a 730 at the end of the test. E-GMAT's course trained me to an extent that I eventually scored a great score after much hard-work.
Verbal
SC- The SC section is one of the highlights of E-GMAT. I would definitely recommend E-GMAT specially for this section. The questions test your understanding not just the grammar rules. The Modifier section has been covered in detail.
CR- The CR section, though not as strong as the SC section, trains you on how to logically solve the GMAT questions. By the time I was done with the CR section, I was able to solve most of the questions.
RC- The best thing about RC section is that it trains the mind to identify the trap answers. Once you are trained enough, you"ll be able to achieve 80+% accuracy on RC.
Quant-
E-GMAT's Quant is good to build on the basics and practice on some tough questions. The questions aren't exactly GMAT style , but the course clears the concepts to a level that it becomes easy to solve the GMAT type questions.
The Scholaranium 2.0 and Sigma Mocks provide a range of questions to practice from and train yourself for the real test.
I would recommend E-GMAT to people who want to have a solid foundation on all the concepts-Verbal and Quant.
Hi Rajat,
Congratulations on the 730 score! We are very happy to have been your partner in this journey.
Two important things that stood out in your review for me are:
1. Rules by themselves are not enough to ace the GMAT
2. In your latest attempt you felt prepared to the extent that a high score was more a certainty than a wish
Your first point is very pertinent. You may know everything there is to about a topic in theory but if you do not know how to apply it to a question or how to approach a GMAT question it will not be enough. This is where the Application files in Verbal course and Practice Skills and GMAT Skills files in Quant course play an important role and I see that you put in the required effort there. This ensured that you had a reliable and repeatable process to answer all the questions on the GMAT.

Feeling of confidence about your preparation comes from seeing the desired results over and over again through your prep. When I saw your account, I noticed that you worked through all 3 stages of learning and scored well on over 900 questions on Scholaranium.

When you put in this kind of effort the probability of getting to your target score increases multifold.
