Hey Everyone!
I recently took the GMAT test and scored a 730 (QA50, VA39). I had given my previous attempt a month ago, where I landed a 620 on the test. I improved my score by a whopping 110 points in one month. I would like to share my experience briefly about my GMAT journey.
I gave my first E-gmat Sigma X Mock and scored a 590. That's when I recognized the extent of enhancements required in my study approach, prompting me to enroll in the e-gmat course. Needless to say, the interface of the e-gmat dashboard is impeccable. The division of Quant and Verbal into various subtopics provides a student with the precise and accurate topic-wise breakdown of the syllabus, really helping to understand the weak and strong areas. The P.A.C.E feature helped me save a lot of time in my preparation.
I meticulously went through each module, ensuring completion of every practice quiz question and application question to enhance my skills. After each section, I took the Cementing quizzes, which really helped me gain confidence. I not only built my skills but also ensured that my understanding of the topics is crystal clear.
The next phase of my preparation involved multiple quizzes (Topic-wise Quiz, Mixed quiz, etc.) of varying lengths. The quiz structure was provided to me by my mentor, Abha. The quizzes contained medium to hard-level questions, and my aim was to achieve around 70-80% accuracy in them. Initially, I found the quizzes to be challenging, but towards the end of my preparation, I realized that these quizzes are helping me further in the preparation. Following several quizzes, I developed effective time management skills, achieving greater accuracy by discerning which questions to skip and which ones to attempt. I largely focused on accuracy in these quizzes as I was already done with the concept part.
Next came the Mock ramp-up phase when I started giving Sigma X mocks. In those mocks, I scored between 650-700. One notable aspect of the Sigma X mocks is their comprehensive analysis of errors by topic, coupled with a progression analysis. These mocks helped me identify specific areas where I was struggling and provided guidance on how to enhance my performance. The mock structure closely mirrored that of the actual GMAT exam.
When I first wrote the exam, I scored a 620 (VA27, QA48). To be honest, I was quite surprised because I was crystal clear in the concepts and had made sure to cover each and every aspect thoroughly. I decided not to give up and gave myself another month before going for the exam again. Finally, after one month of hard work, I booked the exam date and gave my best foot forward. Once I hit the submit button and saw the score, I was overwhelmed with joy and tears of happiness. After a dismal 620 in the previous attempt, I had scored a 730!
I’m really grateful to E-gmat for providing me with an excellent mentor. Abha helped me throughout the journey by constantly pushing me and motivating me to do better. I would request her for ad-hoc calls, and she would always be available for me. The combinations of the quizzes provided by her really helped me to get to my current score. Overall, the course is extensive and totally worth every penny. I would definitely recommend the same to test-takers.
Thank you!

Strengths:

The e-GMAT course offers a very structured and process oriented approach to the Verbal section,which generally troubles the non-native speakers the most. This is probably the most significant differentiator of the course. The course focuses immensely on the process of solving rather than merely solving the question correct. I believe this focus on correct process and structured approach to questions is a must for a great score .

I did not start my Gmat journey with e-GMAT. I started with two other Gmat prep courses, one after the other, which are also available on GMAT club. I did work as diligently as I did in the e-GMAT course, sticking to 'AI curated plan', taking live classes and following every step instructed by the experts.
I did not have a process to address different types of question that Gmat offers. I ended up just mugging up lots of grammar rules, skimming through passages, and following all sorts of shortcuts and gimmicks. With confused efforts the results were also confusing, Gmat mock scores ranging from 650 to 750 in 10+ mocks. The scores were very inconsistent. However, I went on with my First Gmat attempt and scored a 650(Q50,V27).

Disappointed with my official score and not knowing what to do next, I attended the e-Gmat free session and then I realised that I neither had a process nor a focus on key aspects such as author's intended meaning in SC, his line of reasoning in CR or the intention behind an RC passage. Thus, after the free session ,I joined the e-GMAT course.

As I completely followed the e-Gmat course, the most difficult part was not to learn the new process oriented approach but to get rid of the gimmicks and solving techniques that I had learned earlier. I followed the course plan sincerely and thus my accuracies improved in all the verbal sub-sections. As I put in diligent efforts, so I got into the Last Mile Program and I got a dedicated mentor.

I am very thankful to Rida mam for guiding me through the whole process, for attending to different weak areas one by one and most importantly for hearing out all my woes and cries with verbal for so long.

Since then ,my GMAT scores have only gone up. I recently scored a V42 on the official Gmat,which is yet to be officially reported. I doubt that this jump from V27 were possible without the constant help and mentorship from Rida mam. The Last Mile program is really one of its kind and really helped me focus on the key aspects. This includes understanding at a granular level what my strengths and weaknesses are and helping me to build the right strategy to work on them.

I now have a structured process to solve the verbal section, a process that focuses on understanding the author and realising the true intent of a passage rather than on merely solving. It is now that I realise the beauty of this test, and what skills it focuses on. This realisation took quite a long time as I wasted a lot of precious time on gimmicks and shortcuts suggested by other prep companies in my earlier phases of Gmat Prep.

Strengths:

The Verbal section was good, especially the practice questions after each section. Helped me build my knowledge step by step.

Would make the product better:

I prefer to read and learn at my own pace. E-Gmat mostly has video explanations for everything. Though they did have written explanations for lots of questions, I would love to see more of that so people have the option to read or watch a video.

Quant: I didn't really do most of the Lessons for quant from e-gmat, but I did do practice questions for all topics, and those were nothing to complain about. All questions had good explanations.

Verbal: I did all the lessons for verbal, and it really helped me. The questions were well explained and the content was quite good as well. I really used to struggle with SC, but all the tips and tricks taught in the course helped me improve. I didn't really retain most of the grammar rules by the end of the course, but I did gain an understanding of how to go about solving a question and analyzing the problems.

Hey everyone! I recently took the GMAT and scored a 700, which is a 10-point improvement from my previous score of 690. I scored 690 two times before joining e-gmat. Before going through with e-gmat, I went through many reviews posted on Gmat Club and found e-gmat would be a good platform for me to improve my verbal score. I first had my ESR analyzed by Dhruv Joshi, who was also my mentor for the preparation journey. He curated a plan to make sure I solidified my verbal skills.

The E-gmat course was very structured, having modules for each topic. One thing that stood out to me was the content. Everything was covered properly, and their meaning-based approach to every question helped me a lot. I was struggling in CR before, but the pre-thinking framework that is taught in e-gmat helped me with CR tremendously. Their cementing quizzes made sure that I solidified my learning.

Their quant course content is also really good. And the Sigma-X mocks closely mimic the real GMAT. I would suggest they add the AWA and IR sections as well to the mocks. Also, it would be better if the response times to emails by the support team were a bit faster.

My mentor, Dhruv Joshi, has been very helpful to me in this journey, as he guided me in the best way possible.

Overall, I was happy with the course and recommend others also to give it a try.

I have divided my review into the following segments:

1. Course Structure
The structure of the content has been designed very well. Across both Quant and Verbal, there were ability quizzes along with cementing quizzes that helped identify the preparation level and provided detailed information about the key areas of mistakes and timing issues. The question pool is great with options to select the type of questions (Correct, Incorrect etc). Moreover, the mode of quizzes and video solutions helped enhanced the overall learning experience.
2. Content – Verbal
Sentence Correction – The meaning-based approach was quite helpful. I was able to apply the relevant concepts and use the three-step process across most of the questions that enhanced my SC score in the exams.
CR – The Pre-thinking approach is quite effective. After struggling with CR in the initial stages, I began to apply pre-thinking approach more consciously that improved my accuracy. The approach helped me eliminate the irrelevant answer choices and evaluate the correct choices in a better way.
RC – The passages in the quizzes and mocks were of a good level and provided effective practice for the real exam.

3. Content – Quant
For Quants, the quizzes were most helpful. The type of questions are relatively difficult compared to the real exam but it helped me prepare well for the exam and improved my timing. Taking a good amount of quizzes across all the topics helped me identify the key strength and weakness.

4. Mocks
The Sigma X mocks are a good indicator of the actual performance of the exam. The mocks provide ESR analysis along with detailed solutions and timing distribution that helped me understand my improvement areas. I was able to focus on specific topics of CR and SC through the mock analysis provided.

5. Last Mile Push (LMP) Program
After I had completed my preparation and began with the final lap of my preparation, I had reached out to E-GMAT team for certain improvement strategies. Rashmi from E-GMAT team contacted me and we started with the LMP program. Since I was struggling with time in mocks and faced difficulty in certain areas of Verbal, she helped me identify where I was going wrong and provided detailed study plan to be followed. She was very proactive in taking a regular progress check and gave effective suggestions such as practicing LSAT passages for RC and following strict timing rules for every block of questions in the verbal section. Additionally, the importance of letting go of questions that I was unsure of and keeping a positive mindset helped me on the D-day. The program was one of the best part of my preparation phase as it gave me a structured schedule and distributed my study plan uniformly through all sections.
In my opinion, LMP is a great program to enroll for improving test-taking strategies and streamlining the preparation plan.

Background:
Before joining e-GMAT, I tried T.O.P One Percent because they claimed to be the best and boasted about students getting top scores every day. Sadly, they didn't teach me anything, and it felt like a waste of time and money. I even doubted their honesty. After two and a half months of learning nothing from them, I took my first GMAT test and got a 680, all on my own. I realized I needed help to do better, so I looked for something different.
Why e-GMAT?
I needed a flexible way to learn because I had a busy schedule like many of you. e-GMAT offered that flexibility. I could study at my own pace and choose when to take the exam, whether in 15 days or a month.
About e-GMAT:
What's great about e-GMAT is that they focus on helping you build your skills. They understand that the GMAT tests your abilities, so they prepare you accordingly.
e-GMAT's course covers master comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, and reading comprehension. In master comprehension, they teach you how to read effectively during the exam, which is very helpful, especially for non-native speakers. Their pre-thinking and meaning-based approaches are awesome. With critical reasoning, where answer choices are very close, pre-thinking is essential.
The course gives enough time for each section, and e-GMAT provides useful tools like Scholarnium to track your progress and Sigma X mocks that resemble real GMAT tests.
Strategy Experts:
One of the best things about e-GMAT is the support of experienced GMAT experts like Rashmi Ma'am. She helped me a lot by analyzing my quizzes and providing videos from GMAT experts like Harsha Sir when I needed them.
LMP (Last Mile Prep):
The LMP program teaches you about the GMAT algorithm, time management, and how to be ready for the test.
In short, if you're preparing for the GMAT, I highly recommend e-GMAT. Their flexible program, expert guidance, and useful tools will help you succeed.

Hey there, folks! I just had to spill the beans about my eGMAT experience – it's been an absolute game-changer. So, picture this: I kicked off with a pretty decent 730 on my GMAT. But hey, why settle for "decent" when you can shoot for the stars, right? Thanks to eGMAT, I managed to skyrocket my score to a jaw-dropping 760. Let me give you the lowdown on how this all went down.

Alright, so I was already riding high with my starting score, and eGMAT hooked me up with their "Last Mile Push" Program. Fancy name, huh? Basically, it's all about taking you from good to crazy awesome. They paired me up with this rockstar mentor, Abha. She did this deep dive into my previous 730 attempt, sussed out where I was lagging, and then cooked up this super-tailored one-month study plan. Knowing that someone's got your back in this crazy GMAT journey? It's like a boost of confidence injected straight into your prep.

Here's the kicker – I was a bit of a champ in Quant, with a sweet Q50/51. So, all the spotlight was on Verbal. Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction? Those were my pet projects. eGMAT's got this "Meaning Based Approach" for Sentence Correction that's like a secret weapon. It didn't just amp up my skills, but it gave me this structured roadmap to demolish any SC question in my path.

Oh, and don't even get me started on running out of official Verbal questions. Enter stage left: Scholaranium. This bad boy is like a treasure trove of high-quality practice questions. And they've got these genius video solutions from eGMAT pros – talk about a double whammy! Plus, there's this interactive Q&A thing where you can dive into other students' queries. It's like learning in a cool, communal space.

But wait, there's more! The eGMAT platform itself? It's like the James Bond of GMAT prep. Analytics galore! They've got these nifty insights that make your study journey feel like a well-oiled machine. And just when I was getting sweaty palms about running out of official mock exams, eGMAT introduced me to Sigma X mocks. These are like mock exams on steroids, with super detailed analysis to help you fix those weak spots.

Bottom line, my eGMAT ride has been like a rollercoaster of awesomeness. From 730 to 760 – can you believe it? Personalized guidance, Scholaranium, and eGMAT's fantastic platform – it's like they held my hand and walked me through the GMAT jungle. If you're thinking of taking the plunge, I'm waving the eGMAT flag like there's no tomorrow. Trust me, it's a total game-changer!

Hey Folks! I recently took the GMAT for the 3rd time and got a score of 780 (V47, Q51) which was a 60 point improvement from my previous score of 720 (V38, Q50). I would like to share what was different in my approach this time and what enabled me to get to the 99th percentile.
When I started preparing, I took the free trial of E-GMAT and of another very prominent online coaching platform. I was quite satisfied by the E-GMAT course structure and not to mention, the interface. The free trial was of great help as it gave me a taste of how interactive the course would be.
Here are some things that I really liked about e-gmat and that helped me get to this score:
Course structure
The e-GMAT course is very well-structured. It starts with a diagnostic test to assess your strengths and weaknesses. Then, it provides you with a personalized study plan based on your results. The course is divided into modules, each of which focuses on a specific topic. The modules are well-organized, interactive and easy to follow.
Course content
The course content is very comprehensive. It covers all the topics that are tested on the GMAT. The video lessons are clear and concise, and the practice questions are very helpful. I especially liked the Meaning-Based Approach to Verbal Reasoning, which helped me to improve my comprehension and accuracy.
Methods learned
I learned a lot of valuable strategies and methods from the course such as:
• The Meaning-Based Approach to Verbal Reasoning
• The Pre-Thinking Method for Reading Comprehension
I would strongly recommend one to understand and master both of these in order to attain a very high accuracy. These methods helped me to improve my speed and accuracy on the GMAT.
PACE time saving in quants
The PACE Method was particularly effective and helpful for me in Quants. Since I already possessed a foundational understanding of nearly all concepts in Quants, I saved A LOT OF TIME using PACE, which helped me identify the concept modules that I could skip. Therefore, I was able to successfully allot this time to further hone my verbal skills.
Quality of questions, mocks, and analytics on the platform
The quality of the questions in the e-GMAT question bank is very good. The questions are similar to the ones that are actually tested on the GMAT.
The analytics on the platform are very useful for tracking your progress and identifying your strengths and weaknesses. The post mock analysis becomes a cake walk as one is already provided with a lot of in depth analysis of one’s mock performance.
Other things I might have missed
• I also liked the flexibility of the e-GMAT course. I could study at my own pace and time. Also, the course is constantly being updated with new content and features.
Overall, I was very happy with the e-GMAT course. It helped me to improve my score from a 720 to a 780. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about scoring a high GMAT.
If you are looking for a comprehensive and effective GMAT prep course, I highly recommend e-GMAT.

RC MODULE

I had given GMAT once, in which I got 660 Q50 V28, after that I gave GMAT again in some stressful situations and I got even less and so I cancelled the score. I heard about e-Gmat from GMAT club reviews and also from some friends, and found it as one of the most economical and focused GMAT prep program, so I chose to go with it. E-Gmat has its unique way for preparation planning. I was adviced to give one Sigma-X mock and on the basis of its analysis I was suggested full prep plan as per my timing availabilities. For a working professional, this kind of flexible plan can work well. I started doing Quant with PACE enabled mode which made me more confident in Quant as I found my strength easily and also saved a lot of my prep time so that I could focus on the weak areas. After that I started improving my Verbal part. I was always struggling in Verbal part but as I started doing modules it felt like I cleared many concepts that were very confusing for me. SC modules were quite good, while I found a scope of improvement in RC modules in the manner student can identify his/her weakness with ease. In the end, I gave 4 Sigma-X mocks and I can say that those were very similar to actual GMAT. I score exactly same in actual GMAT as I got in all Sigma-X mocks. Although e-Gmat has better UI for Sigma-X mocks than GMAT in actual has, the UI should be much more similar to the GMAT. That will help to create a similar kind of experience. In all this process my mentor Ms Abha M guided me whenever I got stuck somewhere and she also provided specific plans for me to follow to improve in perticular area.
All in all, my leaning with e-Gmat was good. In the end, I got 710 Q51 V34.

The e-GMAT course has amazing content and can be highly beneficial to certain individuals. However, I personally don't think it's suitable for someone like me. GMAT preparation involves two factors: self-study and mentorship. While e-GMAT offers mentorship, I didn't find it particularly helpful because after the initial connection with my mentor, the follow-up was irregular. As someone who requires constant reassurance but hesitates to ask for help, this was a drawback for me. Regarding self-study, the material for Verbal was excellent, although I didn't spend much time on Quant, but I believe it would be good as well.

Here's a breakdown of the different sections:

1. Master Comprehension: This section was a game changer for me. I used to struggle with RC, but the strategies provided helped me improve my reading and understanding of passages.

2. Sentence Correction: The course covers all the necessary topics, and anyone who completes all the modules will definitely see a significant improvement. The verbal explanations and webinars by Shraddha Jaiswal were particularly great.

3. Critical Reasoning: This section was controversial for me. While many people have seen improvement using the prethinking method, it didn't resonate with me personally.

4. Reading Comprehension: Overall, the strategies mentioned in this section were helpful in boosting my confidence and understanding of passages.

5. Quant: I didn't focus much on Quant, but the material seemed fine to me. I attended some webinars hosted by their Quant Expert, Shweta Koshija, and they were amazing. However, I found those webinars more helpful and concise than the course itself. The concept videos were neither impressive nor disappointing. I had already learned better strategies for those types of questions from other sources.

Regarding the additional features:

1. Scholaranium and SigmaX: I really liked the concept of Scholaranium, and I scored well on the cementing and ability quizzes. However, the SigmaX section was quite different. I never scored above 680 in the SigmaX mocks, but I ended up scoring 710 on my actual GMAT. It's not that the questions on SigmaX were harder, but I didn't like the quality of some of them. No test company can perfectly replicate the official scoring algorithm and question quality, but Scholaranium and SigmaX still give you a good idea of how to approach the exam. I would advise not to worry too much about scores in any mock exams other than the Official mocks.

2. Video speed option: It would have been helpful if there was an option to change the speed of the videos. While I understand that the content creators want students to absorb the material at a specific pace, having the option to fast forward would save precious time for those who need a quick recap of the concepts.

Lastly, one of the reasons I didn't invest much time in Quant is because I had previously scored Q50 and wanted to either maintain or improve my score. Going through the concept videos at the given pace seemed like an unnecessary time investment for me, so I decided against it.
