I started preparing for GMAT last year to get admission to a part time MBA program. After researching a lot, I subscribed to two online GMAT courses, e-gmat was one of them. My first attempt yielded a score of 690 (Quant 50, Verbal 31). I was not satisfied with my verbal score and decided to give GMAT once again. I accepted the score because I wanted to see my ESR report and get feedback on it. I approached e-gmat team with my ESR report and asked them for help. Within a day, I received a personalized video explaining my ESR report and steps to follow in order to achieve higher verbal score. Dhananjay explained the ESR report in depth and also pointed out my weaknesses. Dhananjay came up with detailed 21 day plan and started assigning tasks to me. There were clear instructions about what needs to be done and how to track my progress. Throughout my preparation, Dhananjay kept on motivating me and gave valuable tips to keep me on track. I thank Dhananjay a lot for his expert support. Kudos to Dhananjay. I improved my verbal score in my third attempt 690 (Quant 50, Verbal 32), not by much, but I am sure that if I had followed the instructions from Dhananjay word by word, I would have had a better score.

In this journey, I would definitely talk about E-GMAT course, especially about Verbal section.

Verbal course starts with Master Comprehension (MC). MC explains the very basic thing “reading and comprehension” in a very structured manner and makes it easy for you to follow the rest of the course. Don’t skip this section, this is one of the most fundamental technique you need in GMAT. Sentence correction course stands out as it emphasizes on meaning based approach, which is very important in tackling harder questions.

Critical reasoning course provided by e-gmat is the most comprehensive material I came across during my studies. It makes it extremely easy to break down the argument into premises and conclusion and helps immensely to understand the line of reasoning used by author. Pre thinking is difficult step to conquer and needs a lot of practice. I think this is where I missed the trick in CR. I would strongly urge that you practice pre-thinking in every CR problem you solve to gain mastery at it. Pre-thinking is the most important step at solving CR questions.

I did not go through Quant course much and directly started solving the questions (one very god trick I learned was wavy line method :)).

Scholaranium is the e-gmat platform for practicing GMAT like questions. I must say that the platform is well developed, the question bank is very mature and the questions resemble the real GMAT questions, especially Quant questions. You can make you practice quizzes, concept quizzes and even mini tests. Every question you solve is thoroughly examined by the platform and you get immensely useful statistic out of your practice. The stats report is exhaustive in nature and touches many aspects, such as timing, accuracy, classification based on question type, etc.

Another astonishing thing in e-gmat is Sigma-X mocks. I took mocks offered by GMAT Prep and by third parties. While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about actual exam, Sigma-X mocks provide detailed analysis of your performance on the test. These tests are as good as real GMAT and I would advice you to take them in one sitting to get the best analysis of your performance.

In summary, if you want to excel in GMAT, E-GMAT is the platform to go for. Extremely useful video explanations of theory and solutions along with scholaraniam and Sigma-X mock tests and your disciplined efforts will definitely help you achieve your dream score on GMAT.

E-GMAT has uplifted my abysmal score from 400 to 770. When I had received 400, it shows that I am bad in both sections. However, I have taken the E-GMAT course, and believe me it has changed my life forever.
Verbal Section:-->
SC course is so precisely made that even non-English speakers could able to crack the GMAT with the sole help from the E-GMAT course. Its meaning-based approach had made my GMAT journey easy.
CR course pre-thinking approach is very well drafted. I could save approx 35 secs on each question after following the pre-thinking approach.
RC course is so well crafted including all types of questions such as Science and technology, literature, history, etc.

Quant:--
The Quant section is so well made that I could learn each and every concept from scratch and practice as many questions as given in schoalrium.

As we know that today's world work on data ideology and I love data. E-GMAT has helped to achieve my dream score by imbibing in my mind that how data could be useful by using Quant 2.0 and Verbal 2.0 as well.

Both were so insightful that they actually helped me a lot to improve on every aspect of my preparation from starting my 400 scores to reach my 770 Score.

What I have done differently after having E-GMAT Score.

Read, Read, Read novels and newspapers(Taken subscription of Wall street journal, NYT, Washington Post).
Read some IEEE conference papers for understanding the big paragraphs.
Diligently followed the error logs. Always give 2 hours a day for my error log review.

Most important thing
Believe in yourself always.

Few months ago I could not have imagined anything above a 650 on my GMAT. But thanks to the beautifully created course I reached a score of 730 in two months. E-GMAT is a great product for those who want to start their preparation from scratch or who struggle with timing on verbal section.
After going through few reviews I took the leap and enrolled in E-GMAT course. And this has been probably the best decision I took. The course is structured in a way that it, if followed diligently, improves the fundamentals.
What course offers -
In depth video lessons – Lessons are followed by application for each concept file.
Meaning based approach/Prethinking - Essential if you want to break the 700 mark
Scholaranium - Great set of questions with really helpful analysis on where one has gone wrong (A must use)
Ask the expert - Very useful tool to clear doubts immediately
Sigma - X mocks - Similar level difficulty to the actual GMAT
GMAT club tests - The course comes with access to all the GMAT club tests as well. Make sure to utilise these.
By following the course, not only did I improve my accuracy but also went on from having a shortage of time in the first GMAT exam, I had few minutes to spare in the second attempt.
Overall, a course that every GMAT aspirant should utilise.

Hi all,akashdeep here.I have been a silent candidate here on gmatclub platform for the past 7 months or so.Having been failed to get a call from the premier IIMs,I decided to embark on GMAT as a sort of redemption.Started reviewing various platforms on gmatclub and came to know of e gmat.Also watched few of their live sessions and enrolled in december 2020.Initially i Had a subpar ability on both SC and CR.I took on of their ability tests and scored only a meagare 10 percentile in verbal.After going through their superb SC and CR course my ability in both started hitting upwards of 70 percentile in 3/4 months.Their step by step approach such as the meaning based approach helped me gain a whole new insight onto SC..Struggled a lot in CR and SC was averaging close to 90 percentile.In sigma mocks of E gmat I started plateauing at 680 or 690.Then i got into their Last Mile Program where you get one to one guidance from one of their mentors.I got in touch with #ATREYA Sir from e gmat and he guided me in every step.I began hitting 97th perentile in SC ability quizzes thanks to ATREYA again. Also the kind of data insights provided by E gmat scholaraium was superb.They give splendid insight on your performace based on difficulty,timing and sub topics.Specifically the LMP(Last Mile Program) is an icing on top. The quality of Sigma X mocks , scholaranium questions and their explanations on their forum helped immensely in my improvement.On the D day the SC and CR questiosn seemed a lot easier thanks to being acquainted in advance with scholaranium.
This is all from my side guys.Planning for a retake again for a 750 and hopefully after that I would give a more indepth analysis of my journey.

When I started my process for GMAT and MBA, I did not really know all my options about which course to take to study for the GMAT. Being out of college for almost 4 years and having no quant in college meant I needed help for the GMAT.

Upon a friend's recommendation I tried the free e-GMAT access. It was quite detailed and slightly overwhelming but I knew that I needed to deep dive into concepts and then practice to hit my target score of 730+. So I chose e-GMAT.

The on-boarding was very smooth. There is a specific instruction on how to use the course and test your "test-readiness". Do not ignore these instructions like I did. It is very useful and tells you exactly how to self-evaluate in each section and sub-section, and gives you important tips on maintaining the error log.

A singular instance stands out to me where after 3 months of study, I still scored only a 570 in a mock test and I reached out to the support team at e-GMAT, in a state of panic. I got a very detailed e-mail and action points on how to get better and where I am lacking. I followed the instructions to the letter and I immediately went up to 690, and that's when I booked my first GMAT test.

Pros: (i) very responsive support team, (ii) very detailed quant and verbal, (iii) break-down of each concept. The sigma mocks are very good - and will give you a break down of each section where improvement is required. Take these suggestions very seriously and you should see an improvement in your scores.

Cons: some concepts may be too detailed but it worked for me.

I already had a score of 740 and wanted to go above that mark. I knew that pacing through questions was my biggest weakness, and hence I chose e-GMAT to work on that.

I was impressed by the number of questions as well as the interface that was available. Question difficulty is up to mark for scoring high in GMAT. The interface allows you to attempt questions in sets and in a time that simulates the GMAT test-taking experience. This helped me a lot to control my anxiety during the actual exam. Apart from that, the explanations provided are sufficiently articulate to make you understand any concept clearly.

I found e-GMAT really helpful when it comes to practice and would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with the exam.

The video lessons are thorough & interactive and they beautifully seed the processes and concepts in the mind. All the modules builds concepts right from the basics, are interventive with mid course quizzes to test performance and covers each area tested by GMAT comprehensively

Scholaranium is like JARVIS from Iron man, a complete tool which gives flexibility to take cementing, ability or custom quizzes and provides thorough analysis and a review list to focus and improve your weak areas.

I found the Sigma X mocks far better than all the Gmat official mock tests especially in terms of their adaptability and question bank.

And finally, the support mechanism is super responsive. I got responses to all queries I had put in within 24 hours.

It been a dedicated few month and now I am happy to report that I have scored 750 on GMAT. Being a working professional with heavy working hours it been a difficult but a rewarding journey. EGMAT’s course has been instrumental in providing a structured approach to my preparation (its difficult o study after 9-10 work hours if you don’t have a goal-based study plan). The detailed coursework especially – the meaning based approach in Sentence correction and pre-thinking approach in CR can make a world of difference in anyone’s preparation. But having a plan is not enough – having feedback points are also a must to be successful in GMAT and this is where EGMAT’s Scholaranium2.0 platform comes into play. The ability and custom quizzes really helped me to evaluate and reinforce the concepts I learned. I found that the Sigma X mock’s difficulty and scoring very close to the actual test.
But as with any course , a little course correction and guidance goes a long. I must thank EGAMT’s Last Minute Program (LMP) and the assigned coordinator of it for me – Aditee Biyani. Her guidance, hyper-specific plans and time to time words of encouragement made a big difference to my overall preparation.

I took EGMAT mainly to improve my SC score.
I came to EGMAT after doing Manhattan SC books.
EGMAT teaches concepts and also tells how to apply them right away which I found useful to cement my concepts. This also helped me to recall concepts faster when I encounter a similar question.
Ultimately I prepared notes from both Manhattan and EGMAT to help.
One thing which I regret is I couldn't internalize the whole process outlined by them. My advice for someone taking EGMAT and having time is to give some time to Internalize their approach in SC before jumping to OG questions, as that would help enormously. I couldn't due to my time constraints. USe scholarnium also to improve your shortcomings.
Egmat's RC and CR section didn't use much. Each person has their strength, they suggested making notes for RC, I am not sure how feasible is that while actively solving, some students might find it useful.
I couldn't as my handwriting is very bad, so I knew even if I make them, won't be useful while referring back. Also, I am a fast reader, so didn't have an issue if I have to read a passage twice. So this is my take on RC, but see what works for you.

Nothing to comment on in the CR section.
For QA, used OG and GMAT Club tests, only advice which has been stressed enough is to maintain Error Log for QA and not repeat your mistakes

E-gmat helped me take my score from 710 to 730 in a matter of 3 weeks. E-gmat has an amazing verbal module. The CR course was a game changer for me. The pre-thinking approach helped me increase my level of accuracy from 70% to 90% in one week. The quant module is quite comprehensive; however solving questions at their level of difficulty makes actual GMAT questions a cake walk. I would especially like to mention Aditee Biyani who acted as a mentor for me. She helped me prioritize my focus areas resulting in me making the most of my 2 weeks leading to GMAT. She stayed in regular touch and made sure to give me last minute tips and tricks before the exam that came in very handy.
