Instructor Dhananjay(DJ)

After my third attempt in Jan 2021, my confidence was at its lowest and a 700+ score only seemed like a distant dream. This was until I met Dhananjay (DJ) who completely changed my outlook towards the exam.

In our first call, he broke everything down for me from my ESR analysis and identified my gaps - RC was a weak area, there were some process gaps in SC and issues in quant which were collectively affecting my score. In addition to this, he also pointed out how my habit of not letting go of questions was keeping me away from achieving my target score.

Since I had gone through the egmat course for verbal earlier, he did not ask me to go through everything again but rather made small achievable goals for me.

I started with quant, as egmat launched its quant 2.0 course right around the time I started my prep. This was a total game changer. The course is extremely exhaustive and teaches you all the concepts you need to know along with the RIGHT PROCESS you should follow, which is key and something I didn't pay attention to earlier. I immediately began looking at my mistakes in quant in a different way - I could identify what step I made the mistake at - translation, inference, constraint, visualisation, simplification etc.
After finishing each block in quant, I would update DJ and share my error log with him and he would send me an analysis and detailed next steps.

For verbal, egmat taught me way more than just concepts:
- importance of meaning in SC
- visualization and prethinking in CR
- reading slowly by applying learnings from master comprehension in RC and making para summaries

One difference in my prep this time around was the emphasis on error logs - both for quant and for verbal. I learnt that it's okay to make mistakes, but not to make the same mistake twice. In all my previous attempts, I was crazily chasing accuracy and was doing questions after questions. It didn't take me anywhere and I was stuck at 680-690.
Making a concrete error log and focusing on my mistakes is what took me to 710! Another helpful strategy was to really learn the art of letting go of questions, which is where DJ helped.

Key takeaways:
- Follow the egmat plan exactly as prescribed
- If you don't understand a concept, don't rush through and move to the next one. Understand it completely before moving forward.
- Make error logs! They are supremely helpful
- Solving 100s of questions wont help, doing them right would
- Learn to let go of questions if you too are someone who struggles with timing

Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to highlight that this won't have been possible without DJ - the first call he had with me to analyse my ESR and share an action plan and the countless videos and emails he shared with me analysing all my mistakes, timing, scholaranium stats!

I had attempted GMAT a prior to taking up e-GMAT's offerings, and could not break past the 720 mark in prior attempts. The e-GMAT platform helped me get to 760 in the matter of a few months.

e-GMAT changed the game for me - their lectures were super insightful and very easy to follow and retain concepts. I really liked the course on SC which really helped me solidify these concepts. The application files and review files which feature between various concepts ensures that you retain what you've learned.

e-GMAT also teaches a strategic review process which is one the most sophisticated forms of maintaining an error log. Strategic review is what really helped me improve on my mistakes and build confidence as I answered problems in their Scholaranium (which has a very good and large set of questions).

The last piece I would like to highlight is the mentorship - they assigned me Atreya Roy who was supremely helpful in guiding me through the process. The mentorship program helped me analyze my tests and quizzes with a fine tooth comb and identify concept gaps at a sub-topic level. He also helped me 'break out of a rut' every time I faced roadblocks by suggesting various targeted exercises. I also really appreciate the motivation and support provided by these mentors - really helps ride through pre-exam anxiety.

All in all - I have recommended e-GMAT to all my peers who have faced similar issues with GMAT, and are looking to improve their score by 50-60 points.

I had the opportunity to be a part of e-GMAT's LMP mentorship program. I started preparing after enrolling myself in the e-GMAT course. This itself took some time as I had to go through various demo classes by other institutes and obviously chose the best finally.

Reasons for choosing e-GMAT:
1. As a working professional, I do not have much time for attending live classes. Also, recorded classes do not make sense to me. e-GMAT 's concept file format and practice/application quiz after each concept appealed to me greatly.
2. I gave the first free sigma-x mock from e-GMAT's portal to gauge my level before starting the preparation in which I had scored 600. I approached the e-GMAT team with the same and they were very helpful in providing insights and how to proceed further.

Talking more about the course:
SC: Best in the market filled with slicing approaches. Clear and crisp meaning-based approach with zero corner cutting strategy. Each answer is explained as to why it is correct and other choices wrong. Not that it is important, but this course will help you eliminate apps like Grammarly if you have them 😊
CR: This course will truly clear the doubts in terms of logical gaps if any. The best part about CR course is its pre-thinking approach and understanding of what exactly has been asked and protects you from falling in traps which may be contextually similar but is very different from what the question demands.
RC: Honestly, this was my favorite as I feared this one the most. I have a slow reading speed. But what this course did for me is that it taught me to extract the meaning very efficiently as I read. There are multiple passage explanations which analyzes in depth why the author has written this sentence and what is the intent behind it. It actually builds your muscle memory of searching for transition words and linking the previous part to the next one that you are about to read.
Quant: The question level exactly matches of the final examination. The OG questions are somewhat easy compared to what is asked. I would recommend to at least practice the questions from the wonderfully curated Scholaranium 2.0 for quant (and of course Verbal) to improve the score.

After 3 months of preparation and finishing the Verbal and Quant portion, I went on to give my 2nd Sigma-x mock. I wrote to the e-GMAT team again for how to proceed with mock strategy. This is when Archit, an expert from the e-GMAT team approached me for the e-GMAT Mentorship program – the Last Mile Push.
Archit went through each of my mock performances and gave me suggestions of where I am exactly faltering. He went through the process of making a personalized video for me after each mock and mentioned the exact reasons for score dip. The personalized feedback of where I am lacking and what are the exact things I need to revise and focus on helped me to stay on track without losing time. Also, the insights he gave helped me to improve my sigma-x mock performances from 680 to 750 (Average score of 720 which is close to my final score)

I would surely recommend e-GMAT to any serious aspirant.

I signed up to eGMAT in April at a point when I was feeling quite lost in terms of what material to study, what should be my prep strategy etc. I had taken this course previously as well, however I could not take the full advantage of it then. I did not waste any time or energy exploring any other service providers as I knew how amazingly e-gmat taught it’s verbal content, so I went ahead with the e-gmat complete test preparation package, and I was lucky to have Archit assigned as the mentor for me during the course.
After getting a very specific analysis of my first Sigma-X mock (600, Q44, V28), Archit recommended I follow the CR & RC course, which would create a good base for increasing my Verbal score, along with cementing my quant and SC concepts. He provided step by step guidance on what to do when and how long should it ideally take to complete that step. Upon completing this course I felt a lot more confident answering Verbal questions, it started to become a second nature to me and I could improve my quant efficiency by a lot. However, my speed was not up to the mark and missed a few questions when I attempted the next e-sigma mocks. Archit provided guidance on how to improve TAKT time and move past the ridiculously tough questions. Archit mentored me very carefully throughout the last few days of preparation, which helped me to really get the most out of my time. This included a very specific video-analysis of my most recent mock test which pinpointed the lowest hanging fruits as well as coming with a step-by-step plan for the last 3 days. 2 days before the exam, Archit gave me quick tips on how to be well prepared for the online exam set-up, which really helped me as I was most nervous about the online set-up.
I am grateful to Archit to help score well in my GMAT exam, it was very useful to have someone who could provide the right strategy to study and improve the score. He provided a lot of feedback by providing a lot of insights from my performances in the quizzes and mocks. I would highly recommend the e-gmat program for all the GMAT test-takers because I feel it will definitely save you from all the hassle and doubts about the GMAT exam, prep strategy and mentors here will provide proper guidance.

On scoring 620 (Q48 V27) in December 2020, I was a tad bit taken aback. Having been a bright student throughout school and university, I couldn't settle with such a low score. Soon, I came across the ESR Analysis service provided by e-GMAT and signed up for it. They scheduled a video call with an expert who helped me analyse my ESR thoroughly and meanwhile, I registered for the e-GMAT free course post which I decided to enrol for the full course.

The e-GMAT prep program stands out in terms of -
1. Meaning based approach for solving Sentence Correction problems - The emphasis is not just on correcting grammar but also on making sure that the chosen answer choice conveys the intended meaning per the original sentence.
2. Visualisation and Pre-thinking for answering Critical Reasoning Questions - Dissecting the argument in terms of background information, premise, and conclusion helps understand given information better.
3. Process Skills for solving Quant questions - I feel just applying formulae consumes a lot of time while attempting hard Quant problems. So, application and process skills need to be sharpened to reach your optimal potential.
4. Analytics provided by Scholaranium - The tool keeps a track of accuracy and average time you spend on questions (question-type wise, subsection wise and section wise). Each question is supplemented with detailed explanation which helps you solidify your concepts as you get to check your thought process behind rejecting options and choosing the correct one.
5. Mocks and LMT Program - Sigma-X Mocks provide great insights into your performance and as and when you attempt a mock, your mentor helps you analyse it further and provides the course of action ahead.

On scoring scoring 700 (Q50 V34], I had a chat with DJ to discuss the specifics of the exam I had appeared for and to chart the plan ahead. He believed in my abilities and was of the opinion that I could have done much better. So, he advised me to take another shot at the GMAT in 16 days. This time he took up one micro issue at a time and provided a plan to sort it out. For example, I was facing a problem with Humanities RC Passages so he suggested me to read about 2-3 articles from any reputed newspaper daily for about 2 weeks and this really improved my Takt Time and accuracy. Further, this time the plan wasn't as hectic as the last one and it just involved 3 mocks with strategic review and revision of notes. It felt as if I was doing too less but DJ had the optimal plan to pull up my score and he was confident about it. As per the charted plan, I booked a date for the exam and ended up scoring the coveted 740 (Q50 V 40).

I would like to thank DJ from e-GMAT for consistent support and guidance all through the process. He helped me analyse my sectional tests and mocks. He also provided video feedback for the first two mocks, explaining the areas that need improvement and created a hyper-specific plan. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor.

e-GMAT is a one stop platform for your GMAT prep needs. You are covered in terms of concepts, application skills, and even periodic motivation; you just need to be disciplined and follow the plan.

Useful Tips:
1. Start your GMAT preparation with a target score and make a precise plan and stick to it.
2. Take notes of the points you'd like to revisit and add the questions you get wrong or spend extra time on to error logs (E-gmat provides templates), I cannot emphasise this enough. It played a huge role in preparation.
3. Do not rush to solve questions as the question bank has only a limited number of questions. Focus on understanding and internalising the concepts first.
4. Learn the art of letting go questions. I learnt this the hard way. Spending say more than 4 minutes on a quant question is not wise until you have those extra minutes in hand as you'll end up skipping the questions you might know to finish the test in time.

When I was starting my GMAT preparation, I was totally confused about the direction I should take to ensure that I have a decent score. I consulted my friends & family, did heavy research on the internet, watched hundreds of YouTube videos but could not decide on one. Confused, I tried one Paid subscription of one company after another (Jamboree, Experts Global, MGMAT Mocks ) but there was no appreciable increase in my ability. I could feel that while solving questions, I was missing the right approach.

Then I decided to try out e-GMAT and boy-oh-boy, was I surprised!! The quality of the teaching is definitely much, much better than the rest of the others in the market. And this is coming from someone who has already invested more than Rs.2 Lacs in buying and prepping for the GMAT.

The best part of e-GMAT is that it relies on reasoning and reasoning alone to solve the questions, much as in real GMAT. Even in Verbal SC (a section that people think is about grammar), e-GMAT showed me how Meaning based approach can help in solving questions faster. In RC & CR, their concept files of Pre Thinking and Process of Elimination helped to quickly gauge and eliminate the wrong options. The Quant section is decent enough to cover all your bases, neither too hard nor too easy. My only complaints were that the IR section is not properly developed and there is no support for AWA. But overall, the e-GMAT course is still the best in business. I will be recommending it to anyone who is serious to crack the GMAT.

Finally, the support by the personalized e-GMAT mentor Mr. Archit has been great. He was able to find out the gaps in the armor which would have taken me a long time to figure out. he helped to develop a strategy for every mistake.

So, for all the upcoming aspirants out there, if you are reading this message - do not do the same mistakes I did. Go for e-GMAT subscription now! It is definitely worth it. You can check out their Free Trial version as well, if you wanna test the waters.

740 Q49 V41

GMAT 690 - 740

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Course e-GMAT Online 360

I gave my GMAT in July 2019 and scored a 740 (Q49, V41). However, my GMAT journey began much before that. I knew that I was weak in the verbal section (especially SC), and hence when I started my prep, I used a number of book-based resources. As I went through these resources, my confidence that I could tackle the SC questions went up. I absorbed all the concept related information across different SC topics from the modules. After 3-4 months of studies, as I started with my mock exams, my performance was not that great. I would score a 49/50 in quant. However, when it came to verbal, my score was consistently in the 27-35 range. I continued to blindly solve more and more questions thinking that practice would help me achieve my target score, but my verbal score didn’t improve. I had my GMAT scheduled for Jan 2019. I went ahead and gave the GMAT and scored a 690. I immediately cancelled the score.
After this failed attempt, I was not sure how to proceed. I decide to study for a few more months and take the exam again. I continued to use the same materials for studies, until, one of my friends told me about e-GMAT. I had not heard of the company and hence wasn't sure whether it would be helpful. However, after reading a number of reviews on the GMAT Club, and talking to the friend, who was already using it, I decided to go ahead and register for the verbal live course. From the point of view of GMAT preparation, this was one of the best decisions.
As I started the course, I was introduced to the meaning-based approach for SC. When I prepared for the exam earlier, I used to concentrate on the grammatical rules that one would need to know to solve SC questions and thought that meaning was secondary. I do not disagree that grammatical rules are important. But what e-GMAT's meaning based approach made me realize was that meaning is the primary aspect one would need to focus on in order to solve SC questions. e-GMAT brought this meaning aspect, which I had considered secondary, to the forefront. Post that, I slowly started realizing that SC was less about grammar and more about logic. I realized solving a GMAT SC question meant identifying an option that conveys the correct meaning in a most logical and concise manner. Grammar was just a tool to be used to achieve this objective. I continued to diligently follow the meaning-based approach as taught in the modules and actually started enjoying the process of solving SC questions.
After I finished the concept modules with SC, I moved on to CR. Here I was introduced to the process of pre-thinking. Again, this was something new that I had never heard from the book-based resources. As I went through the course modules, I slowly started realizing the importance on incorporating pre-thinking while solving CR question. Initially it would take some extra time to solve questions as I would have to consciously make an effort to pre-think. But slowly, the idea got ingrained into my process. Pre-thinking actually helped me solve CR question more effectively with greater level of confidence. When I look back and think about it, the idea is very simple but, at the same time, very effective.
Once I was done with learning the concepts, I moved on to Scholaranium. This is e-GMAT’s practice platform where they have put together hundreds of GMAT like questions. The platform offers many capabilities such as custom quizzes, sectional quizzes, ability quizzes. I made extensive use of ability quizzes (which simulate the verbal section) as they helped me understand my standing (in terms of percentile) in the verbal section. It also provided tons of analytics that helped me identify my weak areas so that I could work on them. Additionally, I made extensive use of the forum discussion where e-GMAT experts clarified doubts for almost all the questions that are there on the platform. Scholaranium was the perfect platform for me to put my conceptual learning into practice and improve my verbal ability.
I saw a dramatic improvement in my verbal ability in my mock exams. I gave my GMAT exam again in July 2019 and scored a 740 (Q49, V41). Whenever my colleagues or friends have asked me for recommendation for a GMAT prep course, I have always recommended e-GMAT without thinking twice.
e-GMAT also has a very stealth like program that helps students like me build hyper specific plans to create milestone drive study plans. I am working with DJ right now and let us hope I can improve my score to a 750 now! *Fingers crossed* As a student this is all I can ask for and more.

I hope this review is helpful if someone is not sure which prep provider to use.

Someone once said in a video with Rajat, “GMAT is the first exam you study for yourself”. It resonated with me, because you are right this was in deed was the first time I have wanted something for myself; not for mom, not for dad, not for anyone else but me.

Helping me in this journey, as my coach and mentor has been e-gmat and especially DJ. I continue to be baffled at the quantity and quality of help. The mentorship, analytics and a treasure trove of top quality practice questions that helped me along the way has been huge. I know just how grateful I am for their help, because e-gmat was not the first course I turned to for help. I enrolled in 3 other "prestigious" institutions, but, felt very alone and very lost in my prep. And, thanks to DJ, I got my sense of direction, a unique strategy tailor made for me, and a personalized coach invested in my success. With all the guidance & motivation I received over the course of several months, I scored 710 (Q50, V36) in my first official attempt. With that, I personally felt like I let DJ down. That’s how involved he has been throughout this journey for me! And now, as I prepare for my 2nd attempt, all that is in my mind is to make him proud. Can you believe it? Imagine if Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar came to coach you for cricket.. that's how I feel about DJ. He helped me with a plan when to schedule my re-take exam, and made a complete plan for me. I never felt like I was alone on groping in the dark or alone at any point during this journey.

Have you used Nike Run Club app? If you have a marathon in say, 2 months, it will tailor make a training schedule for you on when to do the runs and when to rest. Just like that, DJ gave me a personalized training path, keeping in mind the D-date, and when to re-take the test. It helped tremendously, because you don’t get too many shots at this. Unlike a marathon which you can participate year after year, you only get 7 shots at this life changing exam. With DJ as my coach, I literally feel I have everything I need to go after my target score. I never once felt like I was shooting in the dark. I just hope that I don’t let him down in my next attempt. Right after my 1st attempt, I came back home completely blanked out. I sent him an email. And within a couple of hours, I had a promise from him that he will help me plan my next few days before my 2nd attempt. And as soon as he saw my ESR, within a couple of hours, I had an email from him detailing exactly where I went wrong and how we will try to correct the areas where I lack.

Coupled with DJ, e-gmat also offers an amazing analytics dashboard called Scholaranium 2.0. Believe me, you won’t find a better valuable trove of information anywhere else (not any of the other "prestigious" prep schools!) It’s like your personal JARVIS telling you how well you have fared in each test, with a perfect tool to drill down topic wise and find out your weak zones, and improve them. It tells you everything - how long you took for each question, and it puts that stat in comparison with the mean time to solve that question. Deriving meaningful insight from this, it helped me figure out exactly where I was going wrong and focus on how I needed to improve - this is so valuable to have. It helped me improve my accuracy, and focus on concepts I needed to master. I bought into e-gmat's philosophy when it comes to solving SC questions based on meaning based approach and no shortcuts. e-gmat's SC course is truly phenomenal. Their strategy for RC's, "pauses", was a game changer for me - it helped me comprehend passages faster than I used to and become more efficient. Without their quant material, I wouldn't have been confident to score Q50. With its incredibly detailed stats, I was able to plan and prioritize my preparation really well. Also, the fact that you take a concept assessment quiz right after learning a concept ensures that you have grasped everything there is to be learnt from the concept. I doubt there are many GMAT prep companies out there that have this methodology of teaching.

Many of the questions even have video answers (thanks!), which is really great. You get to listen to the thought process of the teacher, and how the right answer was arrived at. And I must mention, Rajat's other motivational videos are impressive. You get to hear all about your fellow student's experiences and triumphs. You never feel alone in this journey with e-gmat. The sheer quality of explanations and the level of data insights you get from the new platform is breathtaking. It’s all available to you as you aim for your top score.

My only wish list for e-gmat is for them to have more mocks. At 5, I am left wanting more (so that I wouldn’t have to spend extra money trying to buy more for 2nd attempt). Other than that, I feel it’s a package that can help with your success, just as it has for me so far. Personally, I feel that e-gmat is charging much less than the value it is providing to people who want to work with its team. Looking back, I don’t mind paying more than I did. They are worth each penny (and more) that they are charging.

Invest in them, they will invest in you. Good luck for your GMAT journey. Mine isn’t done just yet.

I had already written 3 attempts of GMAT before I enrolled in e-GMAT with my highest score was 640. After about 2 months of preparation geared mostly towards verbal, and 2 Sigma mock tests with an average score of 680, I booked a date for my 4th attempt. I chose to go to a test center to write the test since I was skeptical of consistent electricity supply at my place but the test at the center this time felt really tough, especially Quant. The difficulty level seemed higher even in Verbal. Sentence correction was my strongest part but I remember the first question was an SC question which took me about 4 minutes to answer. It didn't take me long to realize that the score this time will not be very different than the previous times, and I was right. Yet again, I scored a 640. This time my Quant score had reduced by 3 points to Q44 and my Verbal score had increased by 3 points to V34. It was shattering. I remember coming out of the test center completely dejected. I thought of giving up again very seriously as I felt I had given everything I had to the test. My performance in the 4th attempt was just marginally better than my performance in the first attempt. But after getting hope from my mother and gathering myself a bit, I decided to write the test again. I gave a Sigma mock test and scored only a 630 (Q46 V30). But I was genuinely unable to concentrate during that test so I knew that I could have done better than that. After a few days of more preparation, I wrote my last Sigma Mock and scored a 730 (Q47 V42). I was happy with my verbal score but I knew the score was a little inflated as I had guessed a lot of the Quant questions that miraculously turned out to be correct. With so much variation in scores, I was unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so I wrote to e-GMAT asking for guidance.

The next day I got reached out by Archit, an e-GMAT mentor, who was willing to provide me mentorship. I readily accepted the offer and we began the very next day. Archit looked at my performance history in Scholaranium and even though my accuracy was respectable in medium and hard-level questions in verbal, he still found loopholes to improve. He also pointed out that I just had not practiced enough in Quant and laid out a plan to adequately practice quant. This was very convenient as I was able to have a focused approach. I knew exactly what I had to do each day and there was no time wasted in figuring out daily goals. I diligently followed what Archit asked of me but time was running out for me. I wanted to apply to LBS MIM, the deadline for which was just 2 days far. So Archit considering such a peculiar situation gave me fruitful advice and laid out a plan for the last day before the test, to have the best attempt. He also sensed me undertaking pressure and talked calmly on the phone which in turn relaxed me. I followed his advice and wrote the test, this time online due to lockdown. The test felt easy this time but my test was lagging and I was unable to register my answer on the last question in the Quant section even though there were about 10 seconds left. This made me really worried as I thought I'd be penalized severely. Although during the 8-minute break, I tried to calm myself as much as I could to be laser-focused in the verbal section. The verbal section went pretty smoothly but I had to guess about 3 questions of an RC at the end due to time constraints and the fear of the test lagging again. But soon I saw the score and it said 680 (Q47 V36 IR 5). I was elated. I had definitely performed better in mocks but in an official test, this was my best performance, considering I could not answer the last Quant question and had to guess the three RC questions at the end of the verbal section. Plus 680 was the average score for the LBS MIM program and I had met it just 2 days before the application deadline. I immediately called Archit after the test and thanked him.

But it doesn't end here. Archit stayed in touch even after the test to help me figure out a way to secure the test report which was required in the application process. This was very encouraging and highly unexpected.

I was lucky enough to be recommended e-gmat right when I was starting my GMAT preparation by a friend who had scored a 730 through them. So, I did not waste any time or energy exploring any other service providers and went ahead with the e-gmat complete test preparation package, and I don’t regret this decision.

I love the way the modules are structured on the portal. Both the Verbal & the Quant sections have sufficient chapters / sub-sections built in to ensure that a student is thoroughly taught about the necessary concepts. After each section follows a practice test which further solidifies one's understanding of the concept. All these modules are visually very attractive and interactive as well - use of charts, arrows and colors really do help to clearly understand the topics being discussed, highlight errors that sample questions have, and bring it all together with suggested corrective processes.

The main highlight of the e-gmat subscription is their Scholaranium, which contains sections for both Verbal & Quant questions built by the e-gmat team, as well as a repository of Official GMAT questions available for practice. The Scholaranium gives you valuable insights about your performance - on average time taken to solve questions, sectional accuracy, topic-wise accuracy, performance graphs over a shorter period of time, etc. When you properly analyze these insights in tandem with your performance in these practice tests or performance in the sectional modules, you are able to draw very clear inferences about your weaknesses and areas requiring improvement.

SigmaX Mock tests are available on the portal, which further help the student acclimatize to the official test environment. The questions you solve in these mock tests are very closely representative of the type of questions that are thrown at you in the official GMAT test. Just like the scholaranium, the SigmaX module also provides you with sufficient insights about your performance in these tests and areas one needs to revisit or improve in.

Lastly, I would like to talk about my experience interacting with the e-gmat team. If you have any doubts arising across the length of your preparation, the e-gmat team has provided multiple points of contact across the module to reach out to them, and the response is very prompt – generally within a day. Moreover, when I reached out to the e-gmat team requesting an analysis of my official test performance, they were happy to deep-dive into the ESR, chalk out areas that I need to focus on and also build a customized study plan with targets. I worked very closely with Dhananjay from e-gmat who was very kind to make a video analysis about my 690 score on the official test. Dhananjay was the first individual who made me realize that I had a problem of “letting go” during the official test. He also laid out topics I need to revisit from the preparation modules, suggested weekly targets and also helped design the practice tests that I need to be taking, to further improve my test taking performance.

The net result is that I scored a 710 and I could not be more grateful to the entire team of e-gmat for helping me navigate through every step of the way for a 700+ score.

I hope my review helps prospective candidates in their decision-making process for GMAT Preparation. I also wish team e-gmat the very best for the road ahead!
