I got in touch with DJ towards the end of November, just under a month back. Since then, my GMAT journey has drastically changed (for the better). DJ has been by my side, answering any questions I had. Obviously, regarding content you can always write the GMAT support team, but it was very useful to have someone who could answer any overhauling or general questions which might pop-up when preparing for the GMAT.

After getting a very specific analysis of my first SIGma-X mock (700, Q49, V36), DJ recommended I follow the SC course, which would create a good base for increasing my Verbal score. Upon completing this course I felt a lot more confident answering Verbal questions, it started to become a second nature to me, but noticed that I still had quite some conceptual gaps in the Quant section after taking multiple cementing quizzes. Fortunately, the new Quant course was just published and I was lucky enough to be one of the first to test it. With less than a week to go before my GMAT, I managed to (very efficiently) improve certain conceptual gaps, though due to time constraints didn't manage to go through the entire course. DJ 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. Unfortunately, my actual GMAT (Online) test didn't go as good as I hoped it would, because of the Quant section (Q42). Nevertheless, I'm really happy with my increase in Verbal (V36 -> V41 within a few weeks). I'm looking forward to taking the new Quant course over the next few weeks and giving the GMAT another shot soon thereafter.

I'd like to thank DJ for his extensive mentoring and look forward to working together towards a 720+ score over the next month!

I felt everything was going in the right direction. I had completed all course material of e-GMAT, solved every question of OG, had completed and analysed multiple sectionals of GMAT Club and was scoring well in mocks. But just 11 days before my exam, I took a full length mock and made some serious blunders which could have been avoided. While wondering what I should do next, I reached out to the Support Team of e-GMAT and the very next day, fortunately, Dhanajay Lowe (DJ) got in touch with me and took the ownership of guiding me.

The fact that just 10 days before the exam, a member from e-GMAT comes forward and says, ‘I’ll help you get there’ itself speaks a lot about the attitude e-GMAT has for its students. Within 24 hours, Dhananjay organised a call and curated a customized 10-day plan of action. He created video analysis of my mocks and other quizzes and actually guided me on using the e-GMAT platform in a planned and methodical way. When you say that the expert knows it all, they actually know much more than you can gauge.

I have explored multiple course materials and quizzes online, but believe me, nothing will be able to match the content e-GMAT has on its platform. They help you customize your progress, give you a dashboard which reflects your strengths and weaknesses, create quizzes to sharpen your mettle and provide extensive explanations to every question. Though the strange fact is, you have everything in front of you but you are still oblivious of key factors that will define your score. This is where Dhananjay played the most important role in my last leg of the journey. He not only made me aware of my weaknesses but also gave me a plan of action to resolve the same. And yes, in 10 days, we saw great progress. The video analysis of my quizzes and the test readiness strategy worked wonders for me. The gruelling yet doable plan of action along with the constant feedback from Dhanajay, helped me gain confidence and put me on the right track. I was already impressed with e-GMAT course material and Scholaranium but with DJ happening at the right moment, I can guarantee there’s nothing better than e-GMAT in this industry.

I took the eGMAT Verbal Online course for my GMAT Prep and found the course to be really comprehensive. It is a great course for someone starting from scratch and for someone who has no idea about SC and CR.
The EGMAT team also has been really supportive and instrumental in helping me achieve my target score.

Some of the pros of eGMAT community are

There is a eGMAT forum available as part of the course. Its a discussion and doubt solving forum where eGMAT experts answer student queries. The eGMAT forum is the best place to get answers to all your doubts from silliest to the most intelligent ones. Shraddha who is an SC expert helped me immensely by diligently answering and resolving my doubts within a day. The eGMAT forum is a kind of a gold mine with a great list of questions already, which has been asked by past eGMAT students. Many times, just going through the questions ,already asked, solves the doubt and gives an immense amount of knowledge around the question or concept.

The eGMAT team is really supportive and responsive for any issue or problem one faces while preparing. When I could not achieve my target score in my second attempt even after putting all the hard work I could, it was really disappointing and demoralizing. Sharang and Karan from the eGMAT team helped me analyze my ESR and assured that I can achieve my target score if I followed the right strategy. They shared the story of Jim Yi , which really inspired me a lot. I followed what they said and I achieved my target score of 750 in the next attempt.

During the course of preparation, the eGMAT team shared some videos from Rajat and Payal which has helped me a lot in creating the customized tests in the right way and analyzing my progress in Verbal ability along the way. Even though the package is online, the team is very approachable and responsive to all the student’s problems and doubts. They are really invested in the success of their students. It was overall a great experience studying with eGMAT.

e-GMAT's mentorship program was the X-factor in my reaching the 700 mark. When I approached e-GMAT to help me with the study plan it asked me to take a mock to benchmark my level. I scored 640 on the mock and the folks at e-GMAT helped me identify areas of improvement. During one such discussion I was told that e-GMAT had a mentorship program and that if I was interested I could join one. I was introduced to Ashutosh and he was considerate enough to mentor me even though it had been a month since he started mentoring a batch and had no place for an extra person.

Few of the features of the mentorship plan:

1. You are given a weekly plan detailing out what to study each day and how much time to spend on each. There were weekly check ins to gauge the progress. These really helped me stay focused and complete the assigned tasks as there was a sense of accomplishment
2. The batch would catch on a fortnightly basis to discuss problems and help each other out. Ashutosh would help us with various strategies and help course correct when someone got astray
3. Ashutosh was just a call away and he would always respond to calls/texts, no matter when I pinged him. He was really invested in my progress and helped me achieve what I did

The course content of e-GMAT is very well curated and covers everything one needs to ace the GMAT. Scholaranium is a wonderful tool to test your ability and track your progress. It has around a 1000 questions in each of Quant and Verbal and each GMAT question type is very well covered. Each question has a detailed solution/explanation and the best part is that it not only provides a detailed explanation for the correct answer choice, but also provides a detailed explanation for each wrong answer choice. One can post one’s queries on each and every question and get a detailed explanation within 24 hours. I am amazed by the level of commitment and knowledge each and every one at e-GMAT has. The analytics available helps you pinpoint your weak areas so that you could go back to the study material to improve.

Just today I was speaking to a colleague about GMAT and when he mentioned that SC was his weak area, I immediately recommended e-GMAT course to him. Such has been the impact e-GMAT had on my prep.

I highly recommend this course to all those who want to crack the GMAT. Right from the course content to the mentors and faculty, e-GMAT is a class apart.

I feel quite happy to write on this forum about my GMAT Journey, which I started in the beginning of 2017. Coming from an engineering background, I was good at quant; However, Verbal remained my Achilles' heel, and I could only reach V29 in my five attempts that I took from 2017 to 2018. With the breakout of Covid-19 in March 2020, I finally decided to give one last shot to GMAT, and this time, I chose e-GMAT for its structured methodology towards acing the GMAT exam.
After a few weeks of enrolling on the e-GMAT platform, I received an email that offered free mentorship for a selected few. My cohort of around 15 people was mentored by Dhananjay(DJ). Not only was DJ able to identify my weak areas but also provided weekly milestones that helped me improve the score linearly as I progressed through the milestones. As an example, For Reading Comprehension, I discussed the articles from 'The Economist' directly with DJ, and he asked me questions that helped me critically evaluate the passages as we read. This process helped me build stamina to read larger passages, and I also reduced my time from over 6 minutes to 3 minutes per passage.
Furthermore, I used to spend more than 2 minutes on almost every Verbal question before I enrolled with e-GMAT, however at the end of 4 months with e-GMAT, my average attempt time was 80 Sec for SC, 105 Sec for CR, and about 110 Sec for RC.
In the three months of my GMAT journey, not only DJ pushed me to do more but also motivated me to put in more effort to realize the dream score. I can also vouch for the e-GMAT platform because I have closely observed how e-GMAT selects its employees. I scored 710 in GMAT, and I can't thank enough to DJ and e-GMAT team enough for helping me reach the desired score.

I enrolled with e-Gmat for their GMAT Online Program a month before my test date. Even though I was scoring 750+ consistently on the Sigma-X and GmatPrep mocks a week before my appointment date, I could only manage a 700 on my first attempt.
I believed that this score wasn't a representation of my true abilities and so I decided to retake the test. Under e-Gmat's retake mentorship program, I got in touch with Dhananjay sir who was prompt in pointing out the fallacies in my exam-taking strategy. Analyzing my performance in e-Gmat's Sigma-X mocks, he pinpointed multiple intricacies that I never could've imagined would impact my score and following his 15-day study plan, I effectively overcame those shortcomings, ultimately scored 70 points higher. As students, our basic tendency is to step up the efforts we put in as the exam date gets closer and I succumbed to this tendency, over-spending myself in the last week. Had DJ sir not guided me against this and countless such blunders, my second attempt would have been the replay of my first one. Following Dj's hyper-specific study plan got me to my target score and a step closer to my dream B-School. I would highly recommend e-Gmat's mentorship program to anyone planning to take the GMAT. The course content is relevant and precise, the question bank (Scholaranium) is laden with analytical tools yielding meaningful insights and the mentors know just the trick to get you to your target score.

During the time I was preparing for the GMAT exam I always wished to have a personal mentor, who could identify my weak areas and provide me with personalized guidance. That wish became a reality when I signed up for e-GMAT's mentorship program under Dhananjay, e-GMAT's Strategy expert.
Right from Day 1 when he analyzed my ESR (from my last attempt) he focused on addressing my weaknesses and pointing them out without any inhibitions. He prepared a day-by-day action plan to work on and improve on my weak areas. Throughout the journey he made sure that I stick to the plan and imbibe all the learnings from the e-GMAT course deeply into my subconscious mind.
This helped me a lot in my final days of the prep when I was refining my test-taking strategies to better my time management skills. Frankly, this was the one area where I had always struggled, and Dhananjay through his plan made sure that I specifically improve upon it.

All of this culminated with a GMAT score of 720, and I would really thank the e-GMAT team for the same.

As an additional help during the process of finalizing my GMAT date, the Support team was also kind to give me a free-extension for a couple of weeks as I was unable to find a suitable date for the exam.

I gave my first GMAT attempt in July 2019, with little preparation, and got a 680 score. When I decided to re-attempt in 2020, I realized I had many conceptual gaps and lacked any understanding of test-taking strategies. In the few mocks I gave before starting preparation, I would always fall short of time and repeat the same mistakes over and over again. I, thus, decided to take the e-GMAT online course for GMAT preparation. I opted for the 2 months course (had to e-mail them for the same) and got it for $199.
The e-GMAT course is very comprehensive, in terms of concepts (verbal and quant), strategies (difficulty-wise and time-management) and practice. I started with Verbal, as that was my weak area, and went through all the concept videos and practice and application files. This is very important. Doing these will greatly cover any conceptual gaps you have in your Verbal section and will help you develop a process to tackle different types of questions.
The biggest boost in my preparation came with the e-GMAT mentorship program. I was contacted by Deepak to sign-up for this program, for no extra charge. I had a call with him where we discussed my GMAT target score, plan and timelines, and he identified various places where I was lacking in my prep. For example, I had no strategy to manage time during the test and was not practicing enough to increase speed and apply concepts and the process. He sent me weekly targets, with daily schedule, to complete my preparation and practice, following which my prep speed increased. Also, we had a weekly/bi-weekly call to update my progress.
After I was done with concept videos (and simultaneous practice) for both Verbal and Quant, I had around 15 days to go for the exam, during which I had to practice very efficiently through mocks. I still was lacking in managing time and questions of various difficulty levels. Deepak made a time-table for me to take mocks, review them and practice questions. I used:
1. GMATclub Quant CATs for Quant
2. e-GMAT Scholaranium for Verbal
3. OG (Online) for both

For Mocks, I used:
1. Official Mocks (1 to 4)
2. e-GMAT Sigma-X Mocks 2 & 3

Both these give a very accurate simulation of the real exam and provide the closest estimate of your ability.
After each Sigma mock, Deepak would analyze each section, focusing on difficulty level, timing and accuracy, question-wise and section-wise. This helped me in setting a strategy that worked for me and helped me perform most effectively. Having a one-o-one mentor helped me a lot as I could route all my questions and doubts to Deepak and since he knew my weak and strong areas, he could guide me accordingly.

Would definitely recommend the e-GMAT course and the Mentorship program to anyone struggling with GMAT preparation.

I scored 660 on my 1st attempt after preparing religiously for around 4 months.
I scored very less on Verbal so I knew I had to change my strategy for Verbal. After reading reviews about EGMAT course, I decided to go with it.
I started my course in Jan but till April I only completed the SC module but then I was approached by egmat for its Mentorship
Program and that was a game changer.

I worked with Deepak and he did set daily tasks for me to complete. This strategy actually did wonders for me as now I was not alone in the journey and I was able to complete the course in next 3 months.
Deepak not only helped me to complete the course on time but also guided me how to approach the next stage that is mocks.

While I was giving mocks, Deepak not only told me my weak areas but also taught me a lot of tricks for the exam for example - how much time should I give for a question and what is the right time to skip a question and concentrate on the next,
which is very important to score good on the exam.

All in all I am thankful to EGMAT for its amazing modules and Scholaranium but I am more thankful to deepak for keeping a check on me, like a elder brother, motivating me, setting me on the right path and what not.
I can say I could have scored 720 without EGMAT because I can get the similar course somewhere else but without Deepak I could not have accomplished 720.

Thank you so much Deepak for your help.

There is my first time reviewing any product/ service, so you can imagine how useful E-gmat has been in my GMAT journey. They're already known for the quality of their study material, but what I'd like to point out is the kind of support extended by the team. My score had plateaued at 690, and hence I decided to approach the team to help me with the way forward.
Dhananjay(DJ) got back and did a through analysis of my ESR, clearly highlighting my weak areas and right mix of questions to practice. Extremely thankful to him for his timely intervention and constant feedback, both of which helped me make that transition from V35 to V41.
