e-GMAT Online 360 Reviews

Comprehensive plan for verbal and quant improvement.

I have found e-GMAT to be extremely helpful. I started using this platform after my 1st attempt and it has helped me a lot with my preparation especially with the verbal section. The scholarinum which is a specific feature of e-GMAT portal allows us to have a detailed analysis of our strengths and weakness, so that we can focus specially on our weak areas to improve them. I will strongly suggest people to use this platform and especially the facility provided to interact with the experts there who can do a detailed analysis of our progress and provide valuable feedback on how to proceed ahead with the preparation.

Strengths:

1.) AI-enabled Scholaranium question bank that helps to gauge ability and accuracy
2.) Vast question bank - especially Quant
3.) Perfect combination of self-paced study structure and mentorship (Dhruv was my mentor, and he is absolutely and totally a pillar of strength for aspirants and e-GMAT).
4.) Dhruv, and e-GMAT platform gave me thorough and correct feedback on where I went wrong, and how to improve in each aspect which helped me manage my time most productively by working harder on my weaker areas, and revising my stronger areas. This is a boon for anyone who also has other time-taking commitments such as work and/or studies.
5.) Balancing a hectic work life and high GMAT score aspiration, I had to take off days in between preparation due to work/other reasons, but the quizzes and revision and summary modules helped me get back on track. My mentor would also check-in with me and remind me to go over things at intervals of 2-3 days for 30 minutes or so, to keep the momentum going which helped me stay on track.

Would make the product better:

1.) I think Verbal modules could be a bit better, as well as the Verbal questions since I did not find them a very accurate representation of the actual GMAT questions half the time, especially RC passages.

e-GMAT was instrumental in helping me achieve my target score of 750+. I found their platform and their pedagogy intuitive to follow, easy to use, and suitable to my schedule and aspiration. The course content was comprehensive and covered each topic that is tested on the GMAT. I particularly found Quant very detailed, and went through each module to revise and apply concepts. While I had a good grasp of the concepts tested by GMAT makers prior to taking the e-GMAT course, I struggled a bit in time management which made me a little haphazard in answering the questions, leading to silly mistakes and rushed problem-solving.
e-GMAT helped me build upon my ability to hone my exam-taking strategy - which is crucial to getting to the 99th percentile. Approaches such as the Meaning-based approach in SC, Pre-thinking in CR, note-taking in RC and the 7-skills for Quant increased my accuracy and made my timing strategy very strong. The platform is very interactive, and combined with their advanced, adaptive quizzing platform Scholaranium helped me evaluate myself at every step of the way, which is again crucial for scoring well in GMAT.
I especially really liked the cementing quizzes, ability quizzes and conceptual quizzes which helped me simulate exam-like testing environments for Quant and Verbal sections. I also found the entire team very supportive, understanding of my schedule, and quick to respond. My mentor Dhruv Joshi was one of the most key players in my journey and I cannot thank him enough:) He would regularly check-in with me, respond to all my questions - his guidance and encouragement was invaluable. I had to take off days irregularly in between due to sudden professional commitments, and Dhruv really helped me here by checking in with me every 2-3 days and reminding me to go over my notes for even 30 minutes to keep the momentum going. A big challenge for me was accommodating GMAT prep along with my professional and other commitments and e-GMAT was invaluable in their support and guidance in helping me achieve my target score alongside.
I would 100% recommend GMAT test-takers to check out e-GMAT once before committing to test preparation. Further, I would also suggest that future GMAT test-takers go over the official guidelines about each of the sections very carefully and gain a thorough understanding of the structure of the exam. Going in with a thorough knowledge about what the exam asks for, along with a strong plan-of-action that takes into account one’s current ability and accommodates their schedule will lead to the best results. I would also ask potential test-takers to be patient with the process, not get dejected by small obstacles or failures, preserve and be consistent in your efforts and work with single-minded focus on your goals and you will surely do well.

- Their cementing strategy is the absolute best
It will gruel you so much, you wouldn't need anything else

It's perfect!

I think taking egmat subscription was the best decision I made when I decided to enroll. The course structure is amazing and my mentor Aakash, was kind, encouraging, strict at times and he ensured he got the best out of me. My advice to anyone who is enrolling would be - just blindly do what your mentor tells you and just follow the process. Results will definitely come, in time.

Also, I am a total fan of the Egmat mocks. They were completely accurate, especially for me, and prepared me to face anything and everything on the exam. The adaptive nature of the mock and the question relevance, very much mirrors the really test.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to give their best shot at GMAT.

- longer program access duration

E-GMAT's Online 360 course was an absolute game-changer in my pursuit to boost my GMAT score from 720 to 750. The course content, covering both Verbal and Quantitative sections, is incredibly comprehensive, with a unique and effective "Pre-thinking" approach for Critical Reasoning and the "Variable Approach" for Data Sufficiency. The Scholaranium platform provided a wealth of practice questions and detailed performance analytics, allowing me to focus on my weaknesses. E-GMAT's excellent support system, Live Sessions, and user-friendly interface created a conducive learning environment. Most importantly, I achieved my 30-point score increase thanks to this course. While it might seem like an investment, the tangible results and invaluable support make it a worthwhile choice for any serious GMAT aspirant. E-GMAT Online 360 is, without a doubt, a top-notch GMAT preparation program.

Strengths:

Sentence Correction concepts

Would make the product better:

Quant methodology and strategies

e-GMAT follows a three-step process, which comprises Concept Files, Cementing, and Test Readiness. The first step comprises learning concepts in the form of very well-defined and interesting video lectures, notes, and quizzes. The course also has functionality, which by using various quizzes helped me to understand my current strengths and weaknesses in a topic, and accordingly, it suggests the topics I could skip and topics I should cover in order to bridge the gaps in the least amount of time. In this stage, I was able to understand each concept thoroughly and build a solid foundation required for acing GMAT.

In the Cementing phase, the course allowed me to apply those learned concepts in more GMAT like questions in a timely manner, building my problem-solving skills, enhancing my speed, and improving accuracy in both Quant and Verbal sections.

In the test readiness stage, I used the course's data analytics tool to understand the areas where I was weak and more focus was required, and I used custom Scholaranium quizzes to improve my ability in those areas. The mocks included in this course are computer adaptive tests and follow algorithms very similar to the those of official GMAT exam. Egmat Mocks are very accurate predictors of actual GMAT score and provide in-depth data analysis which is very similar to ESR.

While learning a new skill we are bound to make errors but the key to ace GMAT is to learn from our errors and do not repeat them. For this process, EGMAT suggests the use of error logs and provides very good templates to maintain error logs. Maintaining and revising error logs made me understand the mistakes in my approach and the wrong patterns that I was unconsciously repeating.

Strengths:

The verbal modules, particularly the SC and CR sections, are well structured.
e-GMAT mock tests are reliable.
The questions featured in Scholaranium match the standards set by official questions.

Would make the product better:

I recommend implementing a feature that allows users to increase the playback speed of videos in the core e-GMAT modules.

I took my first GMAT attempt on December 5th, 2022, just before the round 2 deadlines. Initially, my preparation solely relied on studying a grammar module I found online. Unfortunately, my results, especially in the verbal section, fell short of my target score. Recognizing my lack of strategy, I understood the need for a more comprehensive approach.

After extensive research, I chose e-GMAT as my preferred prep solution, and it proved to be an excellent decision. The most valuable aspect of e-GMAT for me was its structured problem-solving process. The meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction (SC) and the pre-thinking step for Critical Reasoning (CR) were precisely what I needed. I thoroughly covered both the SC and CR sections. The content was well-structured, breaking down complex concepts into manageable, smaller parts.

In addition to the theory, the Verbal Scholaranium section offered a wealth of questions comparable in quality to official ones. Keeping error logs and attempting both cementing and custom quizzes added significant value to my preparation. Thanks to thoroughly covering the e-GMAT verbal section, I achieved a remarkable 10-point improvement in my verbal scaled score, rising from 31 to 41. I highly recommend e-GMAT.

Strengths:

1. Course structure is excellent
2. I highly recommend their mentorship program
3. I really like the AI functionality in the Quant section
4. Verbal Prep is on point, especially for SC and CR
5. Difficulty of their mock tests is similar to the actual exam’s difficulty

Would make the product better:

1. Maybe need some work on the RC section prep
2. Should think about offering the basic mentorship program at a much cheaper cost so that all students can benefit

I’m really grateful to e-GMAT for helping me through this journey. I’m a working professional in the finance industry with limited availability of free time, especially on weekdays. I was looking for a solution that helps me stick to my preparation timeline and provides me with a structured course to follow without me having to spend time figuring out what I need to study next. e-GMAT met my objectives perfectly. I had a mentor assigned by e-GMAT, Akash Aggarwal, who constantly pushed me to commit a certain number of hours per week for the GMAT prep. Also, the course structure of e-GMAT is so easy to follow. You just need to trust the process.

To be honest, my GMAT prep journey was anything but smooth. In all, my prep time was about 9 months. It included 3 months of no prep due to work commitments. Frankly, it was frustrating at times given the impact of these uncontrollable events on my prep timeline. However, the regular check-ins with Akash and his guidance really helped me push through this journey. I did give an attempt after my 8 months of prep. However, due to the final day exam anxiety, I panicked in the verbal section and, as a result, I had to cancel my score. I was really disappointed and was probably thinking about not giving another attempt. However, Akash made me realize that I was test ready and that I had to just work on my mindset for the final day. Thus, I prepped for one more month and gave another attempt, in which I was much more under control and ended up doing well.

For me, e-GMAT played the following three important roles in my journey:
1. Provided a highly structured course
2. Assigned me Akash as my mentor (I highly recommend him in case you end up opting for the e-GMAT’s mentorship program!!!)
3. Offered an excellent preparation module for the verbal section (was really important to me given I’m a non-native English speaker)

If you’re thinking about giving GMAT and are in the similar boat I was (working professional, limited time availability, non-native speaker), I highly recommend subscribing to e-GMAT.

Strengths:

Flexible for someone with not a lot of time.
Many practice questions with excellent explanations.
Amazing learning modules of the concepts.

Would make the product better:

More clarity on how to make the most of the custom quizzes and all of the practice questions.

Hello all! Last week I took the GMAT for the second time and managed to score 760 (V44, Q49), up from 710 in my previous attempt. For my preparation, I mainly relied on E-GMAT. I would like to share what this preparation looked like.
I started my GMAT journey back in March 2023. I approached my preparation with no rush as I was not clear, and still am not clear, when I would be applying to an MBA program. I recently graduated from college and simply wanted to “get the GMAT out of the way” and make use of the 5-year window it has. Another relevant piece of information of my preparation is that I was working full-time throughout my preparation, so time was an issue.
When I started choosing a GMAT preparation course, I had a preconceived notion that the most important thing for preparation was practice. I also needed a course that I could take at my own rhythm due to my lack of time. Because E-GMAT had the most practice questions among the courses I was considering and because of its flexibility, I enrolled to E-GMAT.
Coming into the preparation, my weakest part was verbal, specifically sentence correction. When I started the course, I realized that practice alone was not enough and that there were several conceptual gaps I had to attack first. E-GMAT’s structured course was perfect to attack these gaps. All of the modules were very helpful.
Even though making sure all the conceptual knowledge is clear was essential, the practice that came afterward was as well. I took my first attempt of the GMAT when I had not gone through enough practice, and hence, did not get my target score. After that, my focus was primarily in practicing. For this, the E-GMAT platform is perfect. Being able to create custom quizzes tailored to once needs was super helpful. Although the amount of option for these quizzes might be a bit overwhelming at first.
Lastly, a key part of the preparation was the actions taken after taking any practice quiz, which are extensively recommended by E-GMAT. This key part was making sure I truly understood the answer of every single practice question I took, even if I got them right.
In short, the E-GMAT course manages to tackle all of the key needs of a successful GMAT preparation.

Strengths:

- Mentorship/ strategy experts personalized content
- Adaptive AI with in-depth analytics
- Wealth of concept and process skills on Quant

Would make the product better:

Length of course is a significant factor to consider, even when accounting for PACE (adaptive instruction).

Be prepared to spend a significant amount of concept + process lessons if you have not the foundational skills.

In my case, I was working full time (10h+) and had to spend a good chunk of hours (10+) during weekends to finish everything and at least 5 hours in total during week days.

e-GMAT's LMP, guided by the exceptional mentor Rida, combined with the Online 360 course, proved to be a game-changer in my GMAT journey.

After an initial stint with Target Test Prep (TTP) and scoring 690, I was looking for that extra push to break through my score plateau. e-GMAT delivered exactly that and more, resulting in an 40-point increase in my score.

What sets e-GMAT apart is its remarkable AI-driven analytics and personalized study plans, ensuring you focus on areas that need improvement. In my case, quant was a significant challenge, and e-GMAT's tailored approach and in-depth content provided a laser-focused strategy to bolster my quant skills, allowing me to polish all the concepts I thought I had but as it turned out I didn't!

Having a strategy expert was key. Rida's expertise and guidance were instrumental in demystifying the study process. The structured course (considering both CONCEPT and PROCESS skills), with its interactive modules, practice quizzes, and detailed analytics, enabled me to track my progress and see real improvement.

While I overinvested a lot on my GMAT prep overall before e-GMAT (too much, really), the program ultimately gave me the edge to obtain my "minimum, great" score.

Please now that on my mocks (both e-GMAT's and OG's) I was scoring 760-790, so the course will give everything you need to succeed. I underdelivered come test day due to nerves + time management, but that's alright!

If you're serious about your GMAT prep, this course is for you. It is the best value for money option.
