I purchased the e-GMAT course after getting a disappointing score in the verbal section of the first official mock test that I attempted before starting my prep for the GMAT exam.

Before giving the mock test, I was very confident with my fluency in English and expected to sail through the verbal section. However, after seeing the result, I realized that the scope of the verbal section in very different from the “Spoken English” that we Indians are accustomed to. I understood that in order to get a good score, I would need to develop a strategy to tackle each type of question in the verbal section. This is where e-GMAT was a game changer.

SC – The course helped me understand all the grammatical rules that constitute a correct sentence. However, what really helped me tackle tricky 700+ questions is the Meaning-Driven sentence analysis methodology that I learned from Payal. Understanding the intended meaning is paramount when it comes to selecting the correct option, especially in the case of tricky 700+ questions that offer multiple grammatically correct options.

CR – Pre-Thinking is crucial when it comes to tackling CR questions. It took me a lot less time to answer hard questions after I started using the Pre-thinking strategy. The main advantage of this approach is that you already know what to look for before even going through the options.

Scholaranium – I practiced a lot of questions on the Scholaranium. Both the verbal and quant sections really test your abilities. The folks at e-GMAT have done a great job at developing a verbal section that matches the official exam.

Highly recommend e-GMAT if you too are struggling with Verbal.

e-GMAT is one of the best courses for Verbal, in general and SC, in particular out there. In my first attempt, I was completely clueless about the kind of rules that go into solving an SC question. It was only when I took the e-gmat course, the second time around, did I understand the nuances involved in solving an SC question. It covers almost everything that you can possibly be tested on. In fact, I was confidently able to answer all the SC questions that appeared on the main day.

The scholaranium is also a great platform to practice questions on. In fact, the e-gmat questions are really close in structure to the official questions, something that I found lacking in a few other GMAT courses. This really helps in building a strong base to answer questions on the main day.

If anyone is struggling with SC at the moment, I would definitely recommend taking up the e-gmat course.

To prepare for the GMAT I knew that I had to focus on Verbal side, because my math was already strong. I used one of the already well-known platforms and prepared for about 6 weeks. I got a 700 Q49 and V35. After all that preparation my verbal was still weak, and I knew it because I wasn’t feeling confident when answering the questions. I started to explore other options, talking to friends and reading reviews. Many people pointed me out to E-GMAT, especially for the verbal section.
When I wrote to them describing my situation and my need to improve in Verbal, within a couple of hours someone wrote me back proposing to have a Zoom call, stating that I needed a specialized plan to achieve my target score. I was already overwhelmed; I was used to the typical bot e-mails from the other platforms that do nothing but get you on your nerves, because you know they ain’t made for you. After having the Zoom call with the E-GMAT expert, we looked at my ESR and went on with a specialized plan for me. I started right away with the SC module.
The SC module is the best course that I could find for GMAT…by FAR. It is so well designed to help you tackle SC questions. I barely made any mistakes after doing the course and was feeling 200% confident. The meaning approach method is the KEY. Meaning is everything in SC, I am telling you this from experience. On my first attempt, after reading option A, I went directly looking for splits; that is not the right way. If you get the meaning right, then the rest comes alone. Therefore, I was feeling ready to go for the GMAT again and starting taking mock exams that the platform offers you. Since I was still struggling with CR and RC, I wasn’t getting to my target score. It was there when Payal, co-founder of E-GMAT, wrote to me personally. She is so deeply committed with the students of E-GMAT that she does a routine audit of student progression. She noticed that though I was doing some things right, I wasn’t getting other things right and gave me specific instructions on how to proceed with my hyper-specific study plan. Payal then assigned me to Rida, one of the experts from E-GMAT. Rida really helped me plan everything. She gave me insights into my performances based on my Scholoranium performances. She continuously helped me create a plan to improve my weak areas until I was finally ready to move on. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Rida and I would really recommend her.
I then continued with the CR course, and although it does not have many concepts to master, the pre-thinking approach used by E-GMAT really helped me master CR. It helped me understand the importance of classifying the arguments into conclusions and premises and pre-think all the possible approaches to work on it. I then finished the verbal section with the RC course, which is centered around really getting the meaning of the passage, by connecting sentences and inferring what the authors intends to say, emphasizing not to read fast or skip-read, but take your time to understand the passage. In the end, it takes you less time because you don’t have to come back to the passage for every question.
Finally, I would also give a 100% vow for the Scholaranium platform and question bank. It includes detailed analytics on sub-sections that make it so easy to identify your weak and strong areas. Scholaranium also includes 5 mocks, which are almost the same to the real exam (and I’ve tried many free mocks from different sources, all have flaws and do not resemble the real exam).
Summing up, having tried other platforms, E-GMAT is the very best among the market. If I were you, I wouldn’t doubt a second about choosing it, especially if you are struggling in Verbal.

This review is only about the e-GMAT Verbal course. It is not a reflection of e-GMAT Quant whatsoever.

The e-GMAT Verbal course (especially SC and CR) is very comprehensive and very well planned. For someone like me who did not know where to start and how to proceed with learning, the course provided a very good structure which was easy to follow.

It seemed too tedious at times, but I trusted the hard work put in by the course creators and followed them diligently. It has everything, right from learning the basics to methods for problem-solving. There is a reason behind the extensive course and the taught methodologies. They make problem-solving intuitive and fast. I fully embraced the course and only slightly tweaked the taught methods to suit my style.

After completing the course, one moves on to Cementing Quizzes which establish test readiness. There is even a thorough process prescribed to approach these quizzes. Following this method completely was also very crucial. The ‘Scholaranium’ not only provided loads of questions to practise but also helped in reviewing progress and highlighting areas to improve.

I maintained a detailed Error Log as recommended. It seemed like a waste of time at first glance but was very important in providing focus and direction to my preparation.

The advice to write down a summary for each paragraph in RC was very helpful. The Scholaranium was also very useful for practising RC passages.

e-GMAT was a major reason behind my 99th percentile in SC and 91st percentile in CR. Thank you e-GMAT.

P.S.: I additionally solved all the questions in the GMAT Official Guide at least once. That also had a big role to play in my score.

Hey,
Since this platform Gmat Club has been super beneficial to me while preparing for GMAT, it is only justified to share my journey! I hope this adds value to your journey for GMAT prep.
I am currently a final year student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering! I mention this fact as it was super hectic to manage uni and prepare for the exam at the same time. Nevertheless, it is indeed possible. During my first month of prep, I revised the basic concepts of Mathematics. It was not very hard for me as I had covered almost all the topics in high school. Also, engineering kept me in touch with mathematics!
For reference, I covered the Veritas Course Books for mathematics. By the end of the month, I easily scored around 49-50 on Quant. Verbal on the other hand was dicey for me. I had covered Manhattan course books as well as veritas and those helped a lay a strong foundation with grammatical rules and made me familiar with the question types. Unfortunately, my verbal score had a wide range, from 37/38 on a good day to 32/23 on a bad one. My confidence skyrocketed on one day and dropped on the other. It was only then that I started looking for a good verbal course. Reading the reviews on GMAT Club Forum, I thought to go with E-GMAT as it had good reviews and a 2-month flexible period, which was right what I needed. I had planned to give my GMAT in the month of March-April, but it got dragged to May due to my fluctuating verbal score.
Hands down, e-GMAT was what I needed to give me that push!
To describe e-GMAT, it had a three-step learning process.
1. Learning the concepts (Foundation Videos) Pre-thinking is a major learning concept that helped me get through the Verbal section easily.
2. Cementing ( Applying the concepts learned in the concept videos to real GMAT-like questions ). Honestly, it takes you from a beginner to an expert in that particular section. The solutions are well detailed and explained. So the major learning happens here. It was at this stage that I maintained an error log to understand and analyze the errors I was committing over and again.

3. Quizzes - A mix of questions from various blocks!
For my nerdy friends, here are statistics of Verbal: Verbal Prep

1. Completed MC, SC, CR, and RC courses

2. Solved 536 verbal questions during cementing and test readiness phases
▪ You solved 100 questions in SC – 75 for cementing and 25 for
improvement of your accuracy SC to 70%
▪ You solved over 86 CR questions – over 50 for cementing 36 for
improvement of your accuracy in CR to 60%
▪ Solved 78 RC questions in the cementing phase and improvement
phase
▪ Solved over 70 questions in the test readiness phase
▪ Reattempted close to 126 questions across all the sub-sections

3. Demonstrated excellence in SC as indicated by 70% accuracy in hard
questions and proficiency in CR and RC as indicated by > 60% accuracy in
hard questions

Finally, there was the last mile program which is offered by e-Gmat, in which I was contacted by E-Gmat mentors for personal guidance on how to navigate and follow the course better tailored to my needs.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with the course. I was confident of my score based on the last three mocks I gave on the platform. I ended up scoring a 41 on verbal, and 51 on quant! An overall score of 760!

PS: If you are looking to improve your verbal, you need to check out the e-GMAT course! Depending on your time and need, you can choose either a 2-month course or a 6-month course!

I am fully satisfied with the egmat product. I had taken a 2 months course after scoring a 660 on the egmat mock. The course provided a structure to my preparation which I am sure wasn't possible to do on my own. When I started the course, I exactly knew how to manage the time between course & practice. It has everything and one doesn't need to refer to any other material. Two specific things I would like to mention which are the core of their product- Meaning based approach for verbal & the Scholaranium. The meaning based approach helped me in whole of verbal especially in CR where I hadnt score well in mocks. And secondly, the scholaranium and it's analytics really helped covering those aspects where ibwas struggling. Some of the features like skipping a concept if diagnostic quiz goes well, explanations for answers(both videos and texts) & the forum really helped. The strategy team as well as the subject matter experts are prompt in answering the queries & helping with whatever is needed.

i purchased the e-gmat online focused course right after my first official gmat mock test. I was expecting for something like 680-690 but ended up in a 620. AFter purchasing the e-gmat, i could actually see what mistakes i was making and what i was missing during my self prep. E-gmat has improved my verbal so much. Also , its quant part, i would say, is so underrated. The content is the so good that it actually enable you to tackle the quant part of the Gmat exam easily.
The only drawback i've seen its student support system, which i felt like is a bit lagging or not taking seriously

I was reluctant to take the course because i was confident that my quant is extremely strong and i will be easily be able to study verbal. But that was not at all the case with me after I got 660 for 2 times. I realized that I needed to build a thorough understanding for verbal and of all the courses available, Egmat is hands down the best one.
In verbal, the master comprehension is very effective and starts from the basics. It feels unnecessary in the beginning but as RC passages become difficult, it becomes more and more relevant. In CR the prethinking is a game changer.
For SC the questions that I practiced were a bit different from those on the main exam. Scholarnium gives insights on which aspects need improvement and Sigma-X provides a platform to test the learnings.
The support team is extremely efficient and very helpful. Their advices were very crucial in achieveing 730.
I wish I had taken the course before my first attempt.

Hi everyone
I Enrolled with EGMAT in October 2021 . I used their platform for 5 months and this is my review.

I got a 660 in my first attempt and I enrolled with EGMAT and I found their portal really good for verbal specially Sentence Correction. For quant its above average. EGMAT helped me reach a level of 710 .
Their analytics and user interface are amazing. SCHOLARANIUM is what I believe is the Highlight of the course, its just too good.
Quality of their mocks is again above average with great analytics provided for review. One of their feature called PACE is really helpful not at all a gimmick.
So personally I can recommend EGMAT to anyone looking for a Good GMAT prep Self Paced Course.
The only problem I faced with EGMAT was because of some reasons I could not follow their entire process and I was not really satisfied with my 700-710 level performance and wanted to improve more and decided to mail them for support but didn't receive any reply from them.
Yes I did falter a bit but I expected more.

Overall the EGMAT prep course if you follow the entire process is really good and I recommend EGMAT to everyone.
And Still hoping I will soon get to that 750+ score.

I started my GMAT journey back in 2019. As it happens with most of the test-takers, I was flooded with tonnes of test-prep materials. I struggled to filter them out and fell into the trap of solving more and more questions to gain a higher score. Of course, I ended up with a disappointing score of 660. Fast forward to 2020, I re-started by GMAT prep during the lockdown. This time, I was sure that I needed a focused approach.

After speaking to a few people, I was convinced that there is nothing better than E-GMAT, especially for Verbal. Within no time, I enrolled for the course and E-GMAT was kind enough to enroll me for their pilot batch of the mentorship cohort. Here are things that stood out for me:

1. Course Content - The meaning-based approach in SC and the pre-thinking analysis in CR were game-changers. I felt much more confident, and verbal quickly became my strength from weakness. I consistently scored 40+. After having studied quant from 3 sources, I can again say that E-GMAT's quant really helped me identify gaps and feel more confident about my prep.

2. The different quizzes available - concept, application, cementing, and test-readiness. E-GMAT's emphasis on acing each of these sequentially really helped identify and bridge gaps. It helps pinpoint exact gaps and allows you to tailor your learning accordingly.

3. The focus on process skills - One thing that puzzled me was the fact that even though I knew the concepts, I would still struggle to get the answers right. The focus on the process skills becomes really critical here.

4. E-GMAT forum - the doubts forum is a gold mine. Even though the explanations are quite detailed, the question from fellow learners and the responses from E-GMAT mentors is a great way to clarify the smallest of the doubts. The response time to doubts posted is quick as well.

5. Analytics - Again, the benefit of this cannot be underestimated. Honest tip - please do not even think about sharing your subscriptions. While it is unethical, you will be the biggest loser as you end up losing the benefits of the detailed analytics available on the platform. Analytics is a single source of truth. A lot of times, I felt confident on certain topics, but the analytics gave me a different picture altogether and I realized that I was actually making mistakes in topics I felt comfortable about.

6. Sigma X - Test Readiness and time management is a big part of the prep. Sigma X does really well here. Most of the other mocks available do not provide detailed analytics. Sigma X gives detailed insights into your time management skills and ability across different levels of difficulty.

7. Lastly and most importantly - a huge shoutout to my mentors - Ashutosh and Rida. Both of them have been super hands-on and helped me with curated study plans. They brought a great deal of structure to the madness. The regular check-ins and targets helped me stay focused throughout the prep. I owe a lot to them. The last mile programme launched by E-GMAT is a great addition and I highly encourage fellow test-takers to take advantage of that.

To sum up, after having gone through materials from 2-3 test prep platforms, I can confidently say that E-GMAT is the best out there. They are consistently improving and I am sure they will come up with more and more new features to make learning simplified!
