Strengths:

In the verbal section, I was especially weak. Thus, the verbal is the product's strongest point, in my opinion. Even though I excelled in Quant, the e-GMAT's Quant section material was excellent, and I learned a lot from it as well. Since DI combines verbal and quantitative skills, I would say that it naturally assisted me in overcoming DI as well.

Would make the product better:

To be honest, I am someone who requires a lot of practice material in order to become proficient in a given skill. To make the process automatic for my brain, I would even solve a thousand questions for a single topic. The course practice materials seemed to me to be quite sparse. As a result, we must use its resources with caution when learning. I would suggest that they consider developing additional materials for the LMP program, or perhaps a subscription of some kind.

I am an undergraduate student at IIT Madras. I tried my hand at GMAT preparation on my own before beginning my GMAT journey with e-GMAT. My growth eventually stalled, and I realized that in order to advance further, I would require a mentor and targeted advice. I was especially drawn to the e-GMAT course because of the affordable prices and the one-on-one mentoring from mentors. It took me about four months as a student to balance my college coursework and GMAT preparation. I could not complete the verbal section in the allotted time earlier. From learning a single topic to major chapters to learning a section to a full-length mock, the e-GMAT course helped me advance step-by-step. I guess that this methodical learning helped me become more adept at handling the GMAT. The GMAT involves more than just problem-solving; it also involves strategy, focus, and timing. The e-GMAT course aids in our mastery of all the elements necessary to score in the test. I was also a part of the LMP program, which is highly personalized, and my mentor assisted me greatly by reviewing my performance and analytics to help me improve. Mentors are very skilled at keeping students mentally together when they lose patience due to a lack of progress in their learning.

Strengths:

One of the biggest strengths is the large question bank available to you that helps you practice your concepts and build your foundation and speed.

Would make the product better:

One area for improvement is the mock tests, which I found significantly more difficult than the actual exam. Having some mocks closer to the GMAT’s actual difficulty level would help in better preparedness.

I took the 4-month Focus Edition course from e-GMAT to prepare for the GMAT, and overall, I found it to be a very structured and well-designed learning experience. One of the biggest strengths of the course is how it helps build strong fundamentals. The modular approach allowed me to choose the depth of study based on my existing knowledge, which made learning more efficient. The critical reasoning strategies were particularly helpful, and the extensive question bank gave me plenty of practice to improve my speed and confidence in quant and data interpretation.

Overall, e-GMAT is an excellent resource for GMAT prep, especially for those looking to build strong conceptual clarity and structured learning. The course’s focus on building skills, detailed explanations, and flexibility in learning depth makes it a great choice for anyone serious about acing the exam.

Strengths:

First Impressions

When I started with a 515 score, I needed a structured approach to GMAT preparation. e-GMAT provided me with a systematic learning path through their video lessons and practice modules.

Verbal Preparation

I found the verbal section particularly helpful. The pre-thinking methodology for Critical Reasoning took me time to master, but it became second nature after consistent practice. In Reading Comprehension, their Master Comprehension course taught me effective note-taking strategies that improved my passage understanding without wasting time.

What Could Be Better
The Multi-Source Reasoning section could have been more comprehensive.

Would make the product better:

Quantitative Section
In Quant, I found Scholaranium's questions matched well with actual GMAT difficulty. The PACE feature helped me save significant study time. I particularly appreciated their data analytics that helped me identify my weak areas. However, I did need to supplement my preparation with external resources for topics like inequalities and probability.
Data Insights Experience
Their Data Insights modules were helpful, especially for Data Sufficiency questions. The "Traps and Tricks" section helped me achieve 90% accuracy in DS. However, I struggled with Multi-Source Reasoning despite their materials and had to develop my own strategies.

Platform Tools and Support
The analytics tools helped me track my progress effectively. I saw steady improvement in my mock scores, from 575 to 745 in practice tests. The structured approach helped me maintain consistency in my preparation.

Overall Impact

The platform played a significant role in my 160-point score improvement. While not perfect, it provided me with solid foundational content and effective practice tools. My success came from combining their structured approach with additional resources and consistent practice. I thank e-GMAT for the help and support throughout.

Note: This reflects my personal experience, and results may vary based on individual preparation and dedication.

Strengths:

The course is very strong in tradicional Verbal and Quant Section. However, I believe that the Data Insights section is what really differentiates the product.

Would make the product better:

Nothing in specific

e-GMAT is an excellent course for anyone looking to build strong foundations or improve in specific GMAT sections. Their structured approach ensures a deep understanding of concepts, making it especially valuable for those struggling with the basics. The course stands out in Data Insights (DI), offering clear explanations and a wealth of practice exercises that help reinforce learning. If you need to sharpen your problem-solving skills through targeted practice, e-GMAT provides the right tools. Their step-by-step methodology and detailed feedback make it easier to track progress and improve efficiently. I highly recomendo the course for those needing to build foundations for the the exam or to improve in a specific section of the exam

Strengths:

Technology & User Interface is very good. Course is very well structured and scientific. Specially Cementing Phase and Verbal Course.

Would make the product better:

I felt quant solutions at times were too algebric (though i understand the need of thorough conceptual preparedness). Solutions on GMAT CLUB by various experts were very handy in bridging my quant visualisation gap.

I used E-GMAT as my primary resource from the start. Initially, I planned to complete my preparation in 3–4 months, but it ultimately took me 6 months to reach my target score.
1. Technology: The platform is exceptionally well-designed and user-friendly. Each question is accompanied by a detailed analysis and a doubt section, allowing users to read and learn from other students' queries and expert responses

2. Verbal: Their methodologies for each question type, along with Pre-Thinking, helped me develop essential skills to approach Verbal (CR & RC) in a structured and logical manner—a stark contrast to my earlier assumption that these questions were simply a "read-and-solve" type. Master Comprehension: a course on how to read and when to take breaks was game changer for me. The quality of verbal questions was excellent. I never felt a need to refer any other book/ course for Verbal.

3. Personalised Study plan(PSP): This tool helped me to keep a check in my daily progress and provided me with realistic timelines to completion. Though it took me more time than I had anticipated and that study plan has envisaged.

4. Expert Guidance: The E-GMAT mentor support through email was instrumental in helping me structure my preparation in an organized way. I had enrolled for PSP at last leg of my preparation. While helpful, I personally found it to be quite similar to the email guidance I was already receiving. My suggestion: enrol for PSP as early as possible, and make a comprehensive study plan with your mentor from the start. In the last two weeks, I felt I couldn't allocate requisite time to Data Insights (DI) for requisite improvement, largely due to the lack of visibility on overall plan structure.

Mock tests level can be improved to make closer to official Mocks

I think like anyone I would go with a product that is recommended by a friend or family or someone I know can trust on, that's why I joined a GMAT test prep course from another company in June, 2024. I prepared with them but could score only 635 in my first attempt in Oct, 2024. Its not that that company didn't prove to be helpful but it is when I joined e-gmat (being inspired by the results they advertised and student's interviews on youtube) and started my prep again, I saw how much e-gmat is advanced in terms of the quality of course they have structured on their platform.

I purchased a self-paced online course whose features were well suited was as since I didn't want to attend any live or classroom sessions. I knew that I had to fill my gaps in verbal (conceptual gap) not cor and data insights (conceptual gap + in-sufficient practice) - which as per one of the egmat senior team member - Sharddha mam's walkthrough of egmat platform was being covered in the plan I was going to enroll to.

Once I got onboarded, a coach was assigned to me (Rashmi mam) and she guided me in my prep journey. A few things imp for anyone who is starting their prep or is in the process and are looking for tips:

- Be consistent in your prep
(Measure how much time you are spending each day in studying. It used to happen to me that I would feel I have spent about 4 hours a day which was my goal but actually one day when I used online browser clock to get the analysis, I was surprised to know that it was merely 2-.5 hrs. P.S: most my time in studying spent on online learning)

- Build error-log (I didn't like registering my mistakes, I was lazy and I felt I will remember it but all of that was oversight at my end. One fine day I realized this because I was making repetitive mistakes. That's when I thought to myself that let me prepare these error logs for only those areas that are weak for me - CR, MSR, TPA. Although RC was also a weak area for me but I don't think error log was that much required for it. And believe me, revising these error logs frequently helped me a lot. I used egmat's error log templates. Their CR error log template may look overwhelming but I customized it for me to see the question type, mistake made and action items)

- CR Prethink -
(marketed by egmat but pay attention "this is the way to go" if you want to score really good in CR. And note this just a name given by egmat but is not something alien. Open GMAT OG, look at their CR solutions, they too teach exactly the same process. Initially you'll take some time in solving questions but if you keep on practice, you'll see the wonders happening. (P.S.: I've seen even Ron Purewell solve these questions in very similar style))

- RC improvement - follow egmat's way of reading the passage and the best arsenal to get to correct ans is eliminate options instead of going after the right answer. (While reading the passage - think of a third person or author reading that piece of info to you. This will help you understand where author's view is coming into play, what is crucial info and what are just details. Transition words are super imp)

- DI - Practice as much as you can.
(In my first attemo I didn't practiced enough and that was a bug mistake. So, make sure you do and solve the question you got wrong, multiple times even if you feel you know the logic. Egmat helped with the DI section especially to me because it has plethora of questions and also the concepts file for verbal MSR, TPA did wonders for me)

- lastly but most important - believe in yourself and take blessings of GOD each day
(Surround yourself with people who motivates you, fill you with positivity and who care for you. I always had this belief that I'm capable but still on my bad days the doubt used to creep in me but talking to my family and friends, helped me immensely)

P.S. Pardon the flow of the above review and all sort of grammatical mistakes. I just wanted to spend some time to write a honest review of how I'm grateful for the egmat team and also through this inspire some of the students/candidates who are in their journey to prepare for GMAT. No matter what medium you choose to prepare, I wish you all the very best! I know you'll achieve your dreams sooner or later. Cheers!

Hello GMAT Club community!

I’m excited to share my GMAT journey, culminating in a score of 685 (Q88, V83, D81), achieved through focused effort over 4 months and strategic guidance from e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returning to academics after nearly two decades, I identified GMAT as the gateway to my aspirations. Initially, I joined a classroom-based coaching institute to re-establish a study routine. While Quant was my strength, I struggled with Verbal and Data Insights.
My initial strategy relied on strong Quant scores to compensate for weaknesses in other sections. However, a bad day in Quant revealed the limitations of this approach, as my composite score plateaued at 655 with significant risk of going downward depending on Quant performance. I realized I needed to improve Verbal (from V81) and Data Insights (from D76) to achieve my target.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turning Point: e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In December 2024, I joined e-GMAT’s LMP program, with Rashmi as my mentor. She customized a focused 4-week plan. This plan was a game-changer, leading to at least 30-point score improvement in composite score on the back of 2-3 point improvement in Verbal Scaled score and upto 5 point improvement in DI Scaled score!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Contributions of e-GMAT’s LMP Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Verbal Reasoning Mastery
The structured coursework emphasized clear processes, particularly in Critical Reasoning (CR), where I struggled.
The pre-thinking approach and “Cementing” phase stabilized my Verbal scores at V83, boosting both confidence and predictability through a very data driven process.

2. Data Insights Improvement
e-GMAT’s resources helped me manage time and tackle diverse question types like MSRs, graphs, and tables.
Translating statements into equations for Data Sufficiency and Two-Part Analysis became second nature.

3. Mindset and Strategy
Rashmi’s honest feedback helped me prioritize pacing, avoid getting stuck on tough questions and focus on improvement areas.
My perspective on MSRs transformed from avoidance to confident tackling, thanks to her guidance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips for GMAT Aspirants
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Build trust in structured processes, own them and stick to them on test day.
2. Practice consistently and challenge yourself with hard problems.
3. Focus on refining strategy and mental preparation in the final week.
4. Stay motivated, seek help when needed, and embrace course corrections. Remember in a long journey, there will be ups and downs.
5. Manage your time effectively and don’t dwell on questions that you are not able to tackle. Just move on.
6. Stay calm on test day, adapt to surprises, and treat each section afresh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Takeaway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e-GMAT’s methodical approach, combined with Rashmi’s mentorship, was instrumental in my success. Their focus on data-driven improvement and strategic preparation gave me the confidence and skills to achieve my goal.
Good luck to all GMAT aspirants—stay focused and trust the process!
