I started my preparation with some old official guides and other books and soon realized it was extremely un-structured and not exhaustive in concepts and difficulty. I looked to subscribe to a GMAT preparation course and landed on e-gmat. My weaknesses were in verbal which I did very poorly on my mock test. In quants, my concepts were clear but I found myself succumbing to trap answers and silly mistakes. I started with building the fundamentals using the video courses on e-gmat followed by cementing quizzes on each concept. I first focused on accuracy and later improved timing. The support I got from the e-gmat team was incredible. They prepared a study plan specific to my strengths and weaknesses and also took into consideration my busy schedule. Abha was in constant touch and made sure I diagnose and fix my strategy when I faltered on tests. E-gmat’s recommendation to have a well defined error log helped especially towards the later stages of my preparation. Abha also helped me fill concept gaps that eventually helped me improve accuracy and timing. The next stage was being able to answer under time restrictions. For this, the e-gmat scholorium was the best tool. I was able to hone my test taking skills that significantly improved my ability to work within the time frame on the actual gmat exam. Followed by this, I tool 6 official mock exams scoring between 635-665. On the actual exam, I scored 665 (Q83, V84, DI82 – I also took the exam in this order). Two important tips for GMAT aspirants: A. try not to take too many mock exams right before the actual exam. B. try not to change the order of the sections on the final actual GMAT exam. C. Spend more time with the first 10 questions (I got only 3 wrong in quant and ended with a Q83, my mistakes were in the beginning-middle).

Everything, Need to be concise and precise

I took their course, twice due to something that happened at home.
The very first thing, when you renew the course - they try to charge you more than the new course which is weird. Somebody need extension, it should be done at reduced rates.
On top of that, their course does not cover everything that may come in GMAT. DI section needs massive improvement. The tests need to be AI based and should adjust to students but looks like, they are just interested in selling the course.
Also, you can connect with them only through email and they take their sweet time to revert back which is approximately 24 hours!!!

Strengths:

*) Verbal: Both CR and RC cementing quizzes were similar to gmat
*) Quants covered all the topics

Full length GMAT FE mocks

During my first two attempts, I didn't use the platform extensively, using it for only two to three months, and even then, not consistently. Even with this limited use, I found the verbal questions in the practice and cementing quizzes similar to those on the actual GMAT Focus Edition. I had a bad day during my second attempt, with my score slipping from 615 to 545. After my second attempt, I opted for the Live Mentoring Program (LMP), where I was assigned a dedicated mentor, and increased my score from 565 to 645 (Q-87, V-83, DI-76) in 3.5 months. The improvement was sharp in Verbal, where I scored V-83. I would like to thank my mentor Rida for helping me to increase my verbal score through her targeted personal feedback. In the Quant section, I found the sectional tests very useful, where I was exposed to a large number of probelems cutting across sub-sections.
Overall, I found the platform pretty useful with carefully curated questions covering all the topics.

Strengths:

- Highly personalized and easy-to-follow course structure, which caters to every student's requirement
- Carefully curated questions that deal with a diverse range of topics, covering almost everything that is tested in the GMAT exam
- Step-by-step process-oriented learning tools that aid in effectively navigating the way toward a desired target score
- Regular Interactions with mentors and instructors which aids in getting continuous guidance and understanding about the direction of the preparation

I started my GMAT prep 6 months ago after purchasing E-GMAT's Intensive Course and I can say that it was the catalyst, which helped me in getting a 675 score in the GMAT Focus edition.

Through the E-GMAT course, I was able to familiarize myself with all the topics tested in the GMAT examination in a personalized, self-paced, and convenient manner. Detailed concept files and comprehensive practice quizzes helped me get a top-to-bottom understanding of every concept. Moreover, the cementing quizzes (provided after completing all concept files concerning a topic), played a key role in repeatedly reinforcing the learned topic, especially when I would focus on other subject areas during my prep. The questions provided in the concept lessons as well as the ones tested in the quizzes and the mock tests are at a comparable (and sometimes above) the level of the actual GMAT exam, which also helped me understand the level of difficulty and the scoring system associated with the exam, helping me boost my confidence before the exam day.

Finally, the personalized guidance provided by my mentor was a real game changer as I got a 360-degree view of my strengths and weaknesses, which I leveraged to strategize my prep, just a few days before the exam.

The GMAT exam is not an ordinary exam, it requires complete subject-matter understanding, undivided attention, shrewd strategizing as well as personalized guidance, and the E-GMAT Intensive course is one of the only courses that effectively provides all these features. Hence, it is an invaluable resource for anyone starting their prep to achieve their target GMAT score.

Thanks to e-GMAT for helping me to achieve a score of 685 in my GMAT focus edition. Their beautifully designed course helped me to learned verbal concepts and finetune my Quant and DI skills. Their 3-stage approach (concept building, Practice/cementing on Scholaranium platform and Test readiness) will ensure that you will not have any gaps in your GMAT Prep. Also, Scholaranium provided in-depth insights across different sections, allowing me to focus on my weaknesses and steadily improve.
Special thanks to my mentor Abha for helping me throughout the process. Starting from creating to study plan, identifying weak areas, suggesting corrective actions to sharing the tips for GMAT Exam Day, she helped me in each and every stage of my preparation. There were multiple instances where I lost the track and focus, she encouraged me to keep the momentum and to have patience, her test-taking tips and tricks were invaluable. I would request every student to adhere to process and listen to your mentor. We sometimes feel that we know everything on our weak areas and what needs to be done. But instead of figuring out on our own, trust the process and suggestions provided by Mentor. They have seen GMAT journeys of various students and know what can help to get rid of obstacles.
Overall, I highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone serious about achieving a significant score improvement. Their structured approach, combined with top-notch resources and expert guidance, made all the difference for me.

Strengths:

- Great availability of resources
- Great mentor support
- Effective methodology (especially filling knowledge gaps at first and then practicing)

Would make the product better:

- More time-efficient options (esp. for people without much time to prepare)
- More clarity on how to follow the Study Plan
- More tips on Quant on alternative ways to face problems (e.g. choice elimination)

Methodology
- Simply put, the methodology consists of learning content for each sub-module (e.g. CR), practicing this content to reinforce learnings (called “Cementing”), and then practicing all parts of each module together (e.g. Verbal)
-In my opinion, this works quite well, especially in cases like mine where I had no idea what was tested on the GMAT. With this, I could fill all “knowledge gaps” I had on each topic and reinforce the new learnings before moving on to the next one
-As a con, this approach followed to the letter may not be the most time-efficient, so those with less time available probably would need to adapt it. Also, I would’ve liked more focus on tips for facing the test (e.g., solve some Quant questions by choice analysis or other shortcuts, practice on timing and skipping, etc.)
-For Verbal questions, learning was based on "Pre-thinking", which is basically doing specific reasoning (depending on the type of question) before reading and selecting choices. In my experience, these strategies were valuable in the first stage of learning, although in my particular case I had to adapt them quite a bit for the real exam: as in my case I have some difficulties with English, I needed more time to read and understand the texts, and if I developed the complete pre-thinking then I spent too much time per question; as I could not improve this much, I developed a "simplified" pre-thinking in which my focus was on understanding the logical thread of the arguments. Basically, I would recommend doing these pre-thinkings at the beginning to reinforce learning, but then practicing to find the optimal distribution of time between reading the text, pre-thinking and reading/analysis of alternatives
-The platform also teaches some reading strategies that can be helpful in Verbal, especially in RC. In my case, it was difficult to apply them all and always, but I think that having some in mind helps improve reading speed and comprehension (practice them is key)

Resources
- In my opinion, the strongest point of e-GMAT. You can find both the material to learn and a good set of questions to practice, as well as 5 mocks (I took 4/5, and I consider that they were of pretty good quality). In addition, together with the e-GMAT subscription you are entitled to a few months of GMAT Club quizzes, which I found to be an excellent complement
- As a con, I think sometimes questions are more “complex” than in the real exam (e.g., in Quant, some Hard questions are too long, while in the real exam I found hard questions to be “trickier” rather than longer). For this reason, in my case it was useful to complement the study with the GMAT Focus Edition Official Guide (you can find OG questions in GMAT Club too).

Support
- With your e-GMAT subscription you are assigned a mentor, and in my case, my mentor was of great help for my improvement since she helped me define concrete actions based on my results. I would recommend being proactive in seeking help from your mentor, given that I found the base resources (like the study plan) quite generic
- I would also like to mention that I was part of The Last Mile Program, which consists of having a more personalized plan and greater follow-up by your mentor. I consider both points to have been very important towards the end of my study since, as I mentioned before, my mentor was developing specific action plans based on how I was doing, and the continuous follow-up also forced me to be more consistent in my study

I hope this review is useful. Good luck in learning and preparing!!­

Strengths:

Great strategies to tackle the Verbal Reasoning section - both Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension.

Would make the product better:

All is good.

I had been struggling with the Verbal Reasoning section of the GMAT, but this course provided the help I needed. The detailed strategies they offer were instrumental in tackling the challenging Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension questions. The cementing quizzes and extensive question bank were helpful, as they not only exposed me to a wide variety of question types but also helped me recognize and understand the different traps set by the GMAT question writers. This practice significantly improved my analytical abilities and confidence.

One of the standout features for me was the focus on specific methods like the ABC test, the negation test, and pre-thinking. These techniques transformed the way I approached Critical Reasoning questions, making them much more manageable and less intimidating.

Additionally, the concept videos and quizzes were great in building a solid foundation in Quantitative Reasoning. The explanations were clear and thorough, ensuring that I grasped each concept fully before moving on to more complex topics. This structured approach helped reinforce my learning and allowed me to progress steadily.

Overall, this course offered a comprehensive and well-rounded preparation for the GMAT, and I believe it is definitely worth the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their GMAT scores, particularly if they struggle with Verbal Reasoning as I did.

Strengths:

The structured approach they provide to approach all three sections is amazing. Their cementing quiz system makes you stay in the lane and refine your skillset once you've learned the content.

DI is a new section added to the GMAT FE, so the questions and content on how to approach them are limited, but the tips and tricks taught for MSR, GI&TA, and TPA help you overcome the initial hurdle of solving and understanding questions in time.

I bought the E-gmat course in December as I was struggling with my quantitative and verbal. The course is well structured and provides you with pertinent analytics to track your progress as you progress through the modules.

I'm impressed by the repository of questions they have, which makes practicing very easy.
I was part of the LMP program, so I was assigned a mentor who would help me track my progress and guide me in the right direction when I had to refine my weaker sections.

All in all, I would highly recommend E-Gmat, but I would also suggest giving it your 100% as the content is vast and intense.
