After getting a 680 on my initial GMAT attempt, I had mixed feelings as the score was at the average mark. I knew that to improve my score, I had to work on my weaker areas. After having read multiple reviews on GMAT forums, I decided to opt for e-GMAT. The AI-based course helped me accurately identify my shortcomings. Focused prep in these areas, helped me strengthen the concepts, building a strong foundation. The last mile push, courtesy of Sigma-x mocks, coupled with the timely support from the e-GMAT mentors, ensured that I was test-ready, with me scoring 730 on the test day.

Including the option to watch the videos at an increased speed will save prep time

Thanks to e-GMAT, I went from a 580 (Sigma Mock) score to a GMAT 730. I am an orthodontist by profession and after years of dentistry, getting back into the examination mode was an uphill task. However, the mentorship I received from the e-GMAT team helped me achieve a 730 on the GMAT.

Improvement in Verbal Section:
I followed the personalized study plan which was based on my diagnostic quiz results and my current skill set. After going through the concepts file I went ahead with the diagnostic and cementing quizzes. I improved from V 31 to V 41 in verbal.
Reading Comprehension (RC) - Master Comprehension ably guides students about the importance of strategic pausing and following a structure-based approach. Both of these, according to me, are prerequisites for nailing hard RC passages. Mastering this approach made a significant difference in my performance.
Critical Reasoning – On the suggestion of the mentors at e-GMAT, I followed the process of pre-thinking and was surprised to find out that I could solve most CR questions in under 1.5 minutes. I attribute my improved score majorly to adopting the process of pre-thinking. It helped me navigate through the tricky questions that the GMAT is known for, saving me precious time and making me avoid traps, especially in the harder questions.
Strategy for Sentence Correction –
I cannot emphasize enough on the importance of following the Meaning Based Approach in Sentence Correction (SC). I lot of right answers in GMAT sound awkward and relying on what sounds right isn't going to help much. Following the meaning-based approach, on the other hand, made me more efficient at avoiding grammatically correct wrong answers.

Improvement in Quant Section:
PACE tailors the course to the individual needs of every student and helped me save more than 40 hours on my Quant Prep. Focusing on my weak areas as identified through Scholaranium, with the help of cementing and test readiness quizzes improved my Quant score significantly.
Scholaranium was particularly vital in my preparation. Scholaranium's targeted practice questions and the analytical tools provided a structured approach to tackling my weaknesses. Data Insights is an invaluable tool in critically identifying weak areas and also offers the chance to track improvement. My mentor Rashmi helped me work on my flaws and play on my strengths. This was especially true for the Quant and CR sections, where I needed the maximum improvement.

Last Mile Push Program:
The Last Mile Push Program in the final stages of my preparation helped me increase my score by 30 points (from my previous score of 700) in a matter of a few days and helped me score 730 (Q 48, V 41). Rashmi provided an objective view of my strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to focus on critical areas for improvement. Also, I would like to mention that the Sigma X Mock scores were within +/- 10 points of my actual GMAT score both times and were an accurate representation of where I stood in terms of my preparation. A balanced approach and trust in the e-GMAT methodology, including the tools and resources like Scholaranium, Pre-thinking approach in CR and the Structure-based approach in RC led to a significant improvement in my score. Overall, I would like to add that e-GMAT has everything one needs to ace the GMAT!

PACE style optimization for Verbal section

A note before I start my review-
I followed the e-gmat plan exactly how the team guided me. I struggle with certain test taking anxiety but I have a decent score now to apply to the B-schools of my choice. Although, I believe that I am capable of 20 more points in overall score but because of shortage of time, I am applying with my current score.

E-gmat’s master comprehension course helped in building a strong foundation for verbal. All the modules are detailed. Initially, I felt that cementing quizzes were unnecessarily slowing down my progress, but I instead focused on trusting the process, which helped me in the long run. The cementing quizzes did bring out all the fallacies I had and helped me to rectify them. In hindsight, I am happy that I endured the pain during that stage. I felt that I improved immensely in reading comprehension because of e-gmat. Usually, people think that RC is the most time-consuming, but if it is done as per how e-gmat teaches then I feel RC becomes a strength and helps with time during the test. P.S. the verbal techniques and strategies also helped me immensely while writing essays for my applications.
In Quant, I was strong when I started. Though, the course helped me mainly in Word Problems section. PACE helped me to move along the Quant course and cementing quickly.
Having individually prepared for all sub-modules and test readiness quizzes, I attempted my mocks. I realized that I falter when I apply all the learnings together. Rida and the strategy expert team helped me by designing focused practice plan and that improved my score. I also learned a lot from the already answered queries for some questions by the subject matter experts. These queries helped me a lot during my last stage of the preparation to iron out any doubts I had.
I benefited from the coffee sessions by Rajat and Payal. They showed the growth stats which helped me mentally, bolstering my understanding that my progress and potential are in place. All that was needed was to calmly sail through the exam. I am happy that I signed up with e-gmat for my gmat preparation.

Hello everyone!
I took the GMAT in July 2023 and scored a 760 (Q49, V44). This was my second attempt and had a 50-point improvement from my previous score of 710 (Q49, V38).

With a strong quantitative background as an engineer, I confidently handled strategies and time management for the quant section. However, the verbal section posed a challenge. Despite grasping grammar concepts for SC and the structure of CR questions, I struggled with accuracy. I was keen on exploring strategies online to improve my accuracy. That's when I discovered the eGMAT workshops before my first attempt. The meaning-based approach (SC) and pre-thinking (CR) strategies stood out as highly beneficial.

Unfortunately, time constraints prevented me from fully implementing these strategies in my initial attempt. So while choosing a new prep material, eGMAT was a no-brainer. Having exhausted the OG guides in my first attempt, I sought a fresh set of questions to refine my strategy. The 2-month GMAT Intensive course not only met but exceeded my expectations, playing a crucial role in my achievement of a 760. The personalized study plan and test analysis with Mansi from eGMAT proved invaluable in structuring my study schedule for the next two months.

I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly noteworthy. The sectional tests, with adjustable topic and difficulty filters, were invaluable for refining my approach to different GMAT question types. Utilizing this option significantly contributed to enhancing both my accuracy and speed, resulting in a notable 6-point improvement in my verbal score
The mock tests accurately simulated the GMAT exam environment, enabling me to hone my time management skills and build confidence. The detailed performance analytics helped me identify areas for further refinement, allowing me to fine-tune my preparation strategy as needed.

Overall, eGMAT’s strategies and question banks proved invaluable in boosting my GMAT score significantly. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a comprehensive and effective GMAT preparation experience.


Here are some tips GMAT prep:

DO NOT BLINDLY SOLVE THE QUESTIONS. A crucial lesson from my experience is that the quantity of questions solved does not necessarily correlate with exam performance. Whether you solve a few or many questions, conduct a thorough analysis of the solutions, regardless of whether you answered correctly. Extracting shortcuts and key insights from these analyses will significantly enhance accuracy and substantially reduce the time needed.

ENSURE THAT YOU PRACTICE YOUR APPROACH/STATEGY TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF QUESTIONS. In the majority of GMAT questions, eliminating 3 out of 5 options is often straightforward. However, when faced with the final two options, selecting the correct one demands the right strategy. Each question type requires a distinct approach, so delve into each category and familiarize yourself with the application of your techniques.


All the best to everyone attempting the exam.

Would make the product better:

i dont think they are there to improve only to sell their course is definitely not for someone looking to improve in 1 month.

took a 1 month plan to improve on my Verbal score which was 38 and 35 in my two attempts and after spending 1 month on their portal I got a V31. The portal is good but the support and the course material are not good for someone at 70% in all CR, SC and RC as when you have all three at this level the data fails as it will ask you to do all the course work and that will be impossible to do in 1 month with work commitments.
regarding the support- I am not sure about other companies on how they communicate with their students but E-Gmat only do it via mail and that too is in 24 hrs, which will not work if you have your deadline in just one month.

Strengths:

1. Quality of questions: The questions, especially in quant, test the very core concepts on a very high level. Each question highlights a key concept and helps you get a better understanding of where you stand concerning your quant skills
2. Scholaranium: An amazing tool that helps you get "test-ready. It is truly a masterpiece for all those who want to improve your time management and overall test-taking strategy
3. Mentorship: eGMAT is more than just an online course. It acts as an accountability partner. The mentors at eGMAT truly hand-hold you throughout your test prep and help you get a better understanding of how to prepare yourself for D-day

Would make the product better:

1. Better solutions: The solutions are good. But there are quite a few questions that I believe could have a better solution set
2. Less waiting time to post a doubt: You are given a limit on the number of questions that one can ask in a fixed time period. Sometimes, the waiting time for the limit to expire can hamper the study phase

I believe that eGMAT along with OG questions is more than enough for someone to perform well on the test. It is a one-stop solution to all your GMAT hurdles. Be it conceptual understanding or test readiness, eGMAT covers it all. The mentors at eGMAT are so approachable. They guide you at every step of the way. No matter how low you have performed on a quiz or how anxious you are about the test, the mentors know exactly how to reason with you and bring the best version of yourself.

QUANT:

I think eGMAT is underrated for its quant. It truly deserves applause for its concept files, quant quizzes, test-taking strategies and more. The concept files are very detailed. No matter how good (or not so good) you are in quant, eGMAT will help you boost your understanding and overall performance on this section GUARANTEED (of course, provided you put in a genuine effort and get involved in the process) They have broken down the quant in such easy to understand language. To top it all, they flood you with so many high-quality practice questions that, upon completion, you get so much clarity on the topic under discussion.

VERBAL: eGMAT lives up to its reputation. It has literally mastered this section and made an entire program that makes verbal smooth sailing for the student. It is a very comprehensive, very detailed, and highly intensive course. You cannot cut corners, You need to put in the hours. But once you do so, the rewards are waiting for you to reap. I want to specifically talk about their RC section. It is the shortest of all the three sub-sections (w.r.t hours of studying) on its platform but it is so impactful. eGMAT has videos that help the student work on his/her comprehension skills. How to read, when to pause and take notes (if you want to take notes), how to comprehend, the key traits of successful reading and more... they have you covered for everything on the RC section.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE:

1. eGMAT is a well-structured program. You are first asked to take one of their mocks - SigmaX - and based on your performance a starting score is established. Then, your target score is asked for and accordingly, a road map to your studying is created.
2. In each section and each sub-section detailed concept videos are provided. After completion of each sub-topic, you have concept questions under timed and non-trimmed conditions to solve. Once you reach the minimum threshold asked by them you move on to the next sub-topic. In doing so, the student not only gets an understanding of the concept under discussion but truly masters the skillset required to ace the topic
3. Once you are done with the concept phase, you move to the Scholaranium platform which helps you hone your test-taking skills. This is a game-changer. It floods you with all the details of your performance - accuracy, time, strengths, weaknesses, and much more.
4. Once you complete the threshold on the Scholaranium platform, you move on to the mock phase. Here, you are asked to take another Sigma X mock. And believe me, if you perform well on their mocks, you are sure to do well on the GMAT, period!

My final advice: For anyone who wants to understand the key concepts tested on the GMAT, who wants to improve their test-taking skills, who wants to break their score plateau or who wants to get a high score eGAMT is the answer. Try it and test it yourself.

It's very quick response rate is an amazing feature.

My journey with e-GMAT was very fruitful. I got all the support I needed from the team along with the extra push I requested for towards the business end of the prep as they enrolled me for the Last Mile Program, which features mentorship of the highest level. The emphasis on maintaining your own error log was one of the key factors of e-GMAT. Having an error log really helps with identifying your errors in thought process and making sure you don't do that again. It's emphasis on the meaning based approach for SC and creating para summaries for RC was the highlight of the Verbal section.

- It is a very lengthy course, not sure how they can make this better though

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible experience with e-GMAT's GMAT exam coaching. Their expert guidance and resources have taken my GMAT journey to new heights. In September 2023, I achieved a remarkable score of 700, a significant leap from my initial 600 in December 2021. This achievement holds an even deeper meaning because I struggled with the GMAT for nearly three long years, and it took a considerable mental toll on me.

The most astounding progress was in the Verbal section, where I soared from a 27 to a remarkable 41, landing me in the 93rd percentile! This dramatic improvement wouldn't have been possible without e-GMAT's invaluable support. It was a ray of hope after years of struggling with Verbal.

E-GMAT's approach to critical reasoning is a true game-changer. I made an astonishing leap from the 38th percentile to the 95th percentile in this challenging section, and I owe it all to their pre-thinking methodology. This approach, which was initially a daunting task for me, turned out to be the key to my success.

Throughout my e-GMAT journey, I was impressed by their well-structured courses, comprehensive study material, and a plethora of practice questions. The detailed analytics and personalized study plans ensured I focused on my weak areas, which was instrumental in my success. The support from the e-GMAT team was always prompt and incredibly helpful.

I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT to anyone looking to excel on the GMAT, especially if you've faced challenges over an extended period. Whether you are aiming to achieve a high score or boost your performance in a specific section, e-GMAT's courses and strategies are the key to unlocking your potential. I'm currently utilizing their Last Mile Program to further boost my score and refine my skills, and I can already see the impact it's making. Thank you, e-GMAT and especially Abha Mohan, for helping me reach my GMAT goals after years of struggle. Your pre-thinking approach has truly made a difference in my life!

SC course - Awesome +++ really Awesome. I only started this course from last week of Aug and could only do the concepts and exercises once and regret not being able to do them second time. This is worth every penny esp. for non-natives. CR course - I could not complete this course (as I purchased this part towards the end mainly to review concepts). I did have some additional learning while doing this course esp. Pre-thinking part! Maths/ quants was also very well structured nut overall I prefer to work based on my weaknesses and strengths and I prefer to make my own schedule. Hence, for me this was not a good ad on service.
