I signed up for the e-gmat course after hearing good reviews from one of my friend, who had taken the course. After attempting one free official test (in which I scored 570), I realized that I needed to really improve my verbal score. The verbal course material was really comprehensive and made me develop a very logical approach to solving verbal questions. I believe, that one of the most important element that e-gmat taught me in verbal was the section. which helps you to understand, how to read strategically in the verbal section of GMAT. This really helped me to improve my score from 550 to 710 in my first attempt.
From my sigma mock-X scores, Payal reached out to me to tell me that she saw good potential in me and told me that if I needed, she could help me with a personal tutor without any additional cost – Rida, who would help me plan my study in the limited time I had. This really helped me to push the boundaries further and I was scoring in the 750's in official mocks. With the e-gmat team's help, i was further able to push my GMAT score to 730.

I am really great-full to e-gmat team for helping me with my gmat journey. I recommend e-gmat to all the fellow aspirants. e-gmat helps build a logical and structured approach, which really makes the difference and helps you tackle the GMAT with great confidence

GMAT is altogether a different beast. Hard work is not the only ingredient which is important here. I had scored a 710 in my first go, but the golden threshold of 720 was what I had my eyes on. But going beyond 700/710 is altogether a different ball game. That is when I realized what eGMAT can do for me. Looking for a course after that 710, I didn't take me much time to decide upon eGMAT. The sheer number of 700+ scores they have achieved over other courses should give you a hint.

Starting from RC, Harsha (at eGMAT) is the guy here! Everyone has a tendency to be uncomfortable in the essays which are from fields/subjects unrelated to your profession. But Harsha got you covered here. From learning the importance of pause points to pre-thinking, I was able to get rid of my fear of those healthcare and historical essays.

For CR, this is the toughest part in GMAT. So you want the best here (Harsha is your guy again). eGMAT gave me an all together different weapon in my arsenal for tackling CR: Pre thinking. Trust me this works wonders. From starting with zero bold face questions right to getting all of them right has been an incredible experience.

For SC, practice plays a big role. But 700 level questions are still tough, until you discover the meaning analysis, Payal is going to teach you. For all those 700+ SC questions, meaning analysis is the key.

Lastly, a shoutout to my LMP mentor Rashmi, she was there for me always. Giving me prompt replies to all my queries, making schedules for me, letting me know my weak points, pushing me till the end. She made it happen!

Thanks eGMAT.
I would recommend you to anyone who is looking at that golden threshold of 720+ in GMAT.

Hi folks,

I signed up for the e-gmat course after hearing good reviews from co-workers. After attempting one of the free official practice papers and the sigma X mock, I realized that I needed to seek help with the Verbal section. The personalized study program at e-gmat validated the same. The verbal course material was really comprehensive and made me confident that I had exhaustively covered all topics.
Soon, I was reached out by Payal suggesting me to work with an e-gmat mentor – Rashmi, who would help me plan my study in the limited time I had. The analytics provided by the Scholarium platform coupled with Rashmi’s feedback facilitated me to cement my weak areas.

I was struggling with SC questions, where my approach was primarily rule based. E-gmat’s meaning based approach allowed me to not only reduce my attempt time but also improve accuracy. Finally, strategically planned mocks helped me become more confident about my skills, something really important for the final exam.
I am thankful to e-gmat, especially Rashmi, for helping me prepare better for GMAT.

Following is a brief timeline for your reference:
1st Free Sigma X Mock – 29th May 2022 – Score 710 (Q48, V38)
Plan Purchased – 5th June 2022
Mock 2 – 30th June 2022 – Score 700 (Q49, V36)
Mock 3 (After LMP – Last Mile Push program) – 11th Sep 2022 – Score 750 (Q50,V41)

I started my Gmat journey in August 2021 with a score of 720 (Q50 V38) . Quant was decently strong for me to begin with. However, SC and RC were a real struggle.

Fast forward to June 2022 I enrolled in eGmat course mainly for Verbal. The meaning based approach for SC and the overall modular structure of Verbal was really impressive. Also, the Scholarium dashboard provides deep insights into the areas that can be improved, the "low hanging fruits". Scholarium helped me gauge my weighted accuracy (Easy,Medium,Hard) at 70%. The PreThinking approach in CR was essential to identify patterns and to improve accuracy and ability to solve Hard 700+ level questions.

The SigmaX mocks are very close to official mocks and give a detailed review of sub-sectional performances, including optimal timing indicator. I scored a v39 in first mock and a v43 in the second mock. On my actual test day I scored a v40 , in the range indicated by sigma x mocks.

egmat Verbal is very well balanced for anyone aspiring to crack the Gmat.

I am very much thankful to eGMAT for helping me improve from 590 to 710 (V22 to V36)

The three most important things that helped me succeed are the course content (approach), answers by experts in ‘ask an expert forum’, and assistance by the support team whenever requested for help. In particular, I would also like to thank Harsha, Stacey, and Kanupriya for their support throughout the process

Here, I would like to share a few important lessons I learnt from the course:

Master Comprehension: The Master Comprehension course is MUST do section before starting with SC, CR or RC. This section helped me to develop the skill of comprehending the sentence accurately, skill that is of utmost importance in acing all the three sections

Sentence correction: The MOST important approach I learnt from eGMAT course in this section is to understand the intended meaning rather than focusing on grammar rules. I strongly believe to master this section one must learn the skill of comprehending the sentence and identifying the aspects conveyed in the sentence before checking the grammar rules. This meaning based approach will help eliminate at-least 2-3 options immediately before struggling to identify the grammar errors in each sentence.
NOTE: The lessons learnt in SC will help in CR and RC. Hence, do not start with CR or RC before achieving decent performance in SC

Critical Reasoning: A few important lessons I learnt from eGMAT course in this section are
1. Understanding a) what is the evidence b) what is the conclusion c) MOST IMPORTANT - How did author come to the conclusion based on the evidence provided = Logic used in arriving at the conclusion using the evidence = Understanding the argument is THE most important step in CR
2. Do not be fixated only on what is the conclusion in the CR. You must remember that the CR argument is testing on our ability to understand the logic on how evidence is used to arrive at the conclusion. Pre-thinking technique helped me to significantly improve this skill
3. Understanding why an answer choice is correct and why it is incorrect is also very important in improving in CR. Focus must be on learning concept from each question but not on solving more questions
The course provides all necessary methods in improving and mastering these skills

Reading Comprehension: A few important lessons I learnt from eGMAT course in this section are
1. Always read the passage in identifying the ‘WHY’ aspect and not ‘WHAT’ aspect. Identifying the intent and purpose of each sentence helps in comprehending the passage better
2. Do not answer the questions by matching words, but must understand the logic of the sentence/para/passage. In understanding the passage, do remember to pay focus on key words such as because, due to, caused by, while, since plays a very important role
3. Keep in mind that Inference = What author believes and agrees with but not the ones that is just mentioned by some third person
There are much more nuances taught in the course that eventually helped me to improve my RC abilities and accuracy

eGMAT blogs: The blogs in eGMAT website are brilliantly written and are highly helpful in learning new concepts. I would highly recommend everyone to go through these blogs.

Course features:
The cementing quizzes, custom quizzes, and ability quizzes helped in identifying and improving on my weak areas efficiently. Overall, I strongly believe the course is very well designed to any GMAT aspirant irrespective of his/her current capabilities to achieve high scores. Course is designed in such a way that it makes one to learn the concepts and processes in a happy rather a stressful way.

Exam day: I never felt nervous on the exam day as I had complete faith on the approach I learnt from the course and was confident that I could handle any new question faced in the exam

Important suggestion: ONLY trust the meaning based approach and do not fall prey to ads that persuade you to follow any other approach

The high popularity of the e-GMAT made me choose their course and I have to say it lived up to my expectations. With years of experience, they have developed these courses that are highly functional and extremely streamlined.

Their verbal course is hands down one of the best. GMAT is an exam that tests your logical ability and I believe a strong fundamental approach to logic is needed to tackle GMAT with ease. e-GMAT's teaching methodology relies on the most fundamental things - Meaning based approach for SC and Pre-thinking for CR. With these fundamental approaches in mind, one will be able to handle the toughest questions on GMAT. Not only do they teach these techniques, but they also provide a framework to work on them until they become second nature to you.

The Quant course is more than adequate. This PACE-enabled course helps you navigate the voluminous Quant curriculum quickly by understanding your strengths and abilities in each sub-topic. e-GMAT's questions in Quant are usually tougher than what we see in GMAT/OG but it never hurts to be over-prepared. If you feel Quant is your weaker area, this course helps you a ton.

Scholarium (e-GMAT's test bank portal) understands you better than you understand yourself. With one quick glance, you can understand what your strengths and weaknesses are and focus accordingly. Trusting Scholarium blindly will make your life easier during your GMAT preparation.

The sigma-X mocks are very close in nature to the actual test. They give you a very good understanding of where you stand and what else is needed.

The Last Mile program (e-GMAT's mentorship program) is icing on the cake. This program helps you during your mocks. Each mock is immediately analyzed and they come up with a customized plan just for you until the next mock.

Rida, my mentor, was very helpful and friendly during this journey. She is experienced and understands the ins and outs of GMAT preparation. She was there whenever I needed her. Having an experienced test taker like Rida as your mentor is a huge plus to your GMAT preparation.

I started my GMAT journey in 2021 and like most other people relied on free material available on the internet for my preparation. Solved OG question diligently. Took a few mocks available online and took the GMAT in Nov’21. Scored a 630.

Realised I needed some sort of expert guidance and subscribed to the e-GMAT course after seeing the GMATclub reviews. Fast forward to 6 months and I have a 740 (V39, Q50).

Key takeaways:
Verbal: The specific frameworks taught in each and every aspect of the verbal section are crucial to ace the section. Coming from an engineering background I never had the confidence to tackle the SC questions. The e-GMAT meaning based approach really instilled confidence in me and improved my SC solving abilities significantly. CR was another tricky part and the pre-thinking approach was a gamechanger. Helped me save quite a lot of time during the actual exam. Same with RC. The techniques taught were brilliant.

Quant: Quant has always been my strong part. Still needed some guidance in specific question types like PnC and Probability. The e-GMAT course had a wonderful curriculum and boosted my confidence in those specific topics as well.

The most useful section of the course was the Scholaranium. It is an extremely resourceful tool comprised of question tailored to your needs. The analytics section highlights your strong and weak areas and it really helps to streamline the final preparation. The mocks replicated the actual level of the exam and my final GMAT score was pretty similar to the scores I was scoring in the e-GMAT mocks.

Also signed up for the Last Mile program where Rida monitored my daily progress and provided her inputs. Really helped me in the final lap of the journey.

Kudos to the whole team of e-GMAT for all their efforts!

Happy Learning!

When I started my journey of the GMAT, the biggest challenge for me was the verbal section. I searched for various courses online and decided to enroll in E-GMAT program.

I scored 730 (Q49 V 39) and the whole credit goes to the well-structured program of E-GMAT.
The program teaches me how to get the meaning out of any complex sentence. The meaning-based approach is key to score 700+ score on GMAT.
Some salient features of the course is Meaning based approach & Strategic review that helped me improve all sub-sections of Verbal.
I was confident to tackle any difficult question after the program. E-GMAT mocks are comparable to actual exam in terms of difficulty level.
If the student is already good in quant then PACE feature will also help the student to improve quant in minimum time.

I came across the e-GMAT course through the reviews on the GMAT club and decided to give it a shot. The course was so well-structured and comprehensive that it helped me finish my prep in a little over two months and helped me score a 720 on the first attempt.
I started at a low score (around the 60th percentile) in the quant section. The quant course was so helpful, especially the PACE engine, that quickly helped me identify my weak areas and recommend steps to study, thereby saving a lot of time. I never thought that I would finish my quant prep within a month. The quality of the questions was impeccable; they were a close representation of the actual questions in the exam.
The best part of e-GMAT's verbal section is its SC course. I was introduced to the meaning-based approach, which transformed my SC score. I usually used the elimination technique to differentiate and eliminate a few options, but I quickly realised that it only works on medium-level questions. You must know the meaning-based approach and specific grammar rules to ace hard-level questions. And the course was beneficial in this. The RC reading strategies also helped me significantly reduce my time in reading the passages.
The structured three-stage learning provided by the course and the fantastic guidance by the mentors were a great help as I just had to follow the personalised plan for me. This helped me save a lot of time and put my entire focus on studying rather than planning.
Overall, I would recommend the e-GMAT course to anyone aspiring to score high by understanding concepts and working hard in an efficient manner.

I started out my GMAT journey with E-Gmat and I have no regrets looking back , Quant was a Killer , It so happened that after using e-gmat's quant course I was able to finish my Quant section 15 mins ahead of time with desired accuracy

I have poor test taking skills - Even though I was able to crack on mock tests with higher GMAT score , Panic on the day bought my scores down - Ended up with 710 . For Non native speakers Verbal SC course is very good .

Would like to thank all the mentors in e-gmat who were part of my journey
