I decided to take the GMAT a few months back I was exploring web for test preps. I am an engineer and people I know around me do not take GMAT that often, so web search was the best option I had to find the right course for me. Initially I got some books from another leading test prep service provider and I just realised that the verbal section was not doing it for me. People on GMAT Club say that it is easier to improve on SC, whereas no matter how much I tried, my growth in SC was stuck! So in my search for course for SC, I found some reviews of e-GMAT on GC and I decided to give it a try. Now, looking back, I am glad that I did!

Here are my thoughts on the overall course prep-

1. For verbal, e-GMAT is probably the most effective course prep for someone who is not a grammar nazi. Their meaning based approach actually works- its not just another jargon created by the test prep providers. The quality of questions are comparable to OG and the real exam, and the difficulty of the questions made me comfortable in facing any surprises in the verbal. Their focus on grammar is limited to absolute essential and the structured steps suggested in the course got ingrained into me as I moved ahead with the course. The pre-thinking approach they teach in CR seems long and counter-intuitive initially but it works like magic once you get a grasp on it.

2. Quant was already a stronger area for me because of my background but I felt that their quant section has a very good step by step approach to getting to harder level questions for someone for whom quant is a problem area.

3. Scholaranium is the platform that they use to develop test taking ability. Obviously the quizzes customisable by topic/difficulty, but on top of that they have adaptive ability quizzes to each of the area in verbal and quant to develop test taking ability. The metrics that they provide has a lot of data that can can be used to identify any weak area with concept, timing or difficulty and work on it.

4. The Sigma-X mocks that the course offers are very closely comparable to the real thing. My exam score very closely matches with my Sigma-X mock scores. In my opinion, the quality and difficulty of the questions are very much in line with the real thing.

5. Most importantly, the e-GMAT team is very approachable in every way. They arrange weekly webinars on various topics which are extremely effective. Plus, whenever I wrote to them for guidance, they have reverted quick with extremely valuable inputs on strategy, identifying weak areas and even helped me plan study routines at times. A couple of weeks before the exam, when I reached out to them, they actually helped me plan the full weeks leading up to the exam day! Honestly, this was not something I was even looking for when I subscribed to the course!

I am writing this review because I felt that the reviews I've read on GC helped me when I was exploring course to choose from and I believe my experience should help someone else too. I think if you are planning on taking the GMAT exam, you can't go wrong with e-GMAT. Period.

I initially started off at a very low score [470] in my first mock test [before I started my GMAT preparation]. I was very disappointed to know that my basics were pretty weak and that I needed to study a lot to be test-ready for the GMAT.
After reading multiple satisfied reviews about e-gmat on gmatclub, I decided to purchase the online course. I think this is the best course out there because of the following key reasons-
Quant 2.0 course -
1. Quant 2.0 course has covered all topics that are tested on the exam.
2. It is very well structured and you are 80% test ready by the time you have gone through the concept files and the practice tests in the module.
3. Quant Scholaranium takes care of the remaining 20% preparation. The question bank is very comprehensive and there are no similar questions. So the more amount of time you spend on Quant Scholaranium the better you get.
Verbal course -
1. Verbal course is very seamless. After going through the Master comprehension module I could make sense of any sentence structure very easily.
2. The SC concepts seem very logical. The meaning-based approach is taught throughout the course, this approach comes to great aid while solving Hard SC questions.
3. In CR - Pre-thinking approach, taught in the course, helps to tackle every CR question and improves your accuracy.
4. RC - Concepts taught in SC and Master comprehension module helps a lot in understanding a long passage, and with sufficient practice on Verbal scholaranium, reading skills improve.
5. Verbal Scholaranium again has a very comprehensive question bank and the solution explanations are the best one can find on the internet.

One of the unique points about the e-gmat course is the graphical data that is available to you at all times.
How much of a module you have completed, What is your accuracy in different practice tests/ quizzes/ different level questions, How much time you are taking in different question types? It's all there. And it really helps when you are following a strict timeline.

The support from the e-gmat support team is also pretty amazing. I have received some amazing responses from DJ [Dhananjay] whenever I mailed him. His insights really helped.
The subject matter experts are very quick to respond and they write out very detailed explanations, clarifying your doubts at all times. Detailed explanations from Stacey, Vipul, Shraddha really helped in clearing a lot of my doubts.

Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

All the best for your preparation!!

GMAT is an exam that requires a structured study approach. e-Gmat verbal/quant online course certainly ensures that we study methodically and review our own performances at regular intervals. Let's tackle the review section-wise -:

Sentence Correction
A) The course is very good with the course divided into multiple sub-sections i.e. SV Agreement, Verb-Tenses, Parallelism etc.
B) Also, there are multiple articles within the course that addresses certain myths/misconceptions about the GMAT, and that is great addition to the course.
C) The quality of questions for SC in the Scholaranium platform is amazing. These questions will certainly enhance your understanding.

Critical Reasoning
A) The course starts with some basics such as definitions for Premise and Conclusion.
B) The Assumption module is the most important here and all the relevant concepts with respect to Pre-thinking are articulated efficiently. This certainly enhanced my learning and understanding of the CR questions.

Reading Comprehension
A) The course tackles each type of questions i.e Inference, Main point, data based etc.
B) The crux of this course is that we understand the passage properly one go, make paragraph summaries and focus on structure words such as However, but, In addition, for example etc.

Quant
A) The course is divided beautifully that you'll learn all the concepts organically
B) I've tried 2-3 course for Quant but e-GMAT quant course is probably the most relevant in terms of difficulty and nature of questions.
C) e-GMAT has introduced a Quant 2.0 with more learning opportunities and an enhanced course. Special mention to Shweta Koshija for the her explanation in the Quant section, specifically Geometry.

Scholaranium
A) This is without doubt the USP of the e-GMAT course. The quality of questions and explanations is amazing.
B) The amount of data you can get from the course is more than sufficient to identify your weaknesses, timing issues and strong areas.

Sigma-X Mocks
1) You can get an ESR like data post the completion of the mock
2) There are videos as well on how to analyze the mocks and that certainly helps a lot
3) The verbal is again on point but I felt that quant was a bit tougher than what you're likely to face on the actual GMAT.
To conclude, your actual GMAT score won't actually fluctuate much from the Sigma-X mock scores and you can rely on them for analysis.

e-GMAT Mentorship
A) I would sincerely thank Nava and DJ (Dhananjay Lowe) for their guidance throughout my prep.
B) The email responses to my queries were crisp and to the point. The strategic advice I received was invaluable and gave me the direction to work for.

Overall, I would highly recommend the e-GMAT course for both Quant and Verbal. It's a one stop shop for the GMAT prep.

I used the e-gmat online for a period of 3 months. I was lucky to work wtih Dhananjay who is prompt to reply and very helpful. his feedback was essential to me during my time studying for GMAT. I managed to increase my quant score to a Q50. For verbal, the methods are simple, and honestly important. The egmat team uses logic rather than some gimmicks to teach verbal section. I would recommend the course for any beginner out there. It is important to receive feedback from a mentor to understand what you're missing. I made my SC and CR process much more efficient by receiving feedback from DJ.

A Brief Background: I am a IIT Kharagpur graduate of class of 2015. I started my preparation of GMAT in March 2020 but was not structured at all in my approach. I ended up scoring 680 (Q50, V31) in October 2020 (Online GMAT) and felt that this score doesn't depict my true ability. I gave 2nd attempt of Online GMAT in March 2021 and scored 720 (Q50, V36), but this time eGMAT's structured approach and mentorship came to my rescue.

eGMAT tool: A very comprehensive portal to build your ability and level up your score. I barely touched any other resource for SC and RC. I was really impressed by eGMAT's meaning based approach and pre-thinking approach. Talking about Scholaranium: The best question bank in the GMAT industry, the explanations are so comprehensive that it helps you learn and cement your concepts even further.

eGMAT Mentor (DJ): I reached out to eGMAT for support in verbal section. I lacked time management skills and wanted to score v42+. DJ not only analysed my ability in each of the verbal sections but also provided me with personalised SigmaX mock analysis.
3 videos provided: I attempted 3 mocks and received personalized analysis for each of them. This analysis pointed following: my weak areas for revisit, how to improve on time management (block wise approach), and ability/accuracy required to score v42+.
These videos drove me into high paced learning and improvement because I realised the strategies to score higher. Also, it helped me course correct my 14 days study plan before GMAT.

A net summary: I am still not satisfied with my score and I know my areas of improvement. I am receiving continuous support from DJ in my 3rd attempt. I highly recommend this course for everyone who wants to fasten up their preparation in structured approach.

GMAT is an one of kind of a well structured exam that tests your analytical ability and exposes what you are weak at. There is no escape from same. And to excel you just need to raise the bar of your ability.
And in this journey, a right guidance and mentor could prove to be very effective and quick way to success. Along with all this a right guidance and right approach could prove to be a life long asset that you gain in your GMAT preparation journey.

In my journey of 620 to 730 journey, EGMAT turned out to be the same. I purchased its GMAT online course and used same throughout my preparation.

1. Its verbal section is amazing. And there is no match to this. It explains the things in such a layman terms that anyone can understand.

Master comprehension course was one of turning point for me in regards to how I read sentences and understand them. It overhauled my approach towards reading. And no doubt it leveraged my reading and understanding ability.

Sentence correction course has been structured in such a way without any grammatical jargons that even a layman can understand it. It just build your base from scratch and equip you to solve complex sentences with right approach. Its meaning based approach is unique to EGMAT, and same no doubt helps in eliminating wrong answers with 100% accuracy.

In CR, Prethinking approach really gives you better insights and understanding of argument, and fasten your problem solving skill. It is much easier to eliminate wrong answers once you prethink about depths of your CR argument.

RC approaches nonetheless was helpful in gaining better understanding of complex passages.

So overall I will suggest, Verbal section is not just guide you in right way of solving GMAT questions, but also helps you in building abilities that are required in your preparation and way forward in your B-school journey.


2. Scholaranium is another nice platform that helps your to customize test as per your need. I have tried few other tutorial test platform but none of them match with EGMAT Scholaranium.
Also its explanation and approach to problem solving stands out any other.

3. In my initial attempts, EGMAT team gave me insights about what I am lacking and where I am making mistake with help of ESR. And those insights helped me to move way up the ladder. This platform do have very effective and responsive forum for Q&A.


So overall I will anytime recommend this course, incase your want to crack the GMAT fast and raise your analytical and ability skills.

Getting a 640 after four months of preparation left me disheartened. I had no idea what to do, but I chose not to give up. After reading several reviews online, I enrolled myself in the e-GMAT course online. One of the lessons I realized was that I was never consistent with my approach while solving confusion that made me confused, and I was unable to comprehend what the question was asking.

I built up a study plan with e-GMAT, started with quant, and then proceeded with verbal. In quant, I used to make very silly errors that were more of process gaps than conceptual gaps. The new e-GMAT quant course is hands down the best course to study the quant section. With a defined structure, you can easily navigate through the course without getting bored. In my last week, I just went through the process skills files to make myself confident in each sub-section. For verbal, there’s no better tool than scholaranium to make you better at verbal and applying the skills taught in the concept files. The pre-thinking approach for each question in SC/CR/RC is essential to ace the GMAT. I realized that you need to be consistent with your strategy, and you need to effectively dissect the question before looking at the answer choices.

One piece of advice would be not to try too many questions. It’s okay if you do ten questions right in a day instead of practicing 100 questions in a day and exhausting yourself. I did that, and when I saw that my approach was not consistent, I needed to go through the concept files again and revise my strategy. However, till then, I had no questions left to apply my revised approach. I approached the e-GMAT support team and got in touch with one of their best mentors, DJ. He gave me a solid plan to follow weekly and made me do many custom-ability quizzes. The quizzes made me more confident, and I was ready to take one last mock I had left. But, after months of preparation, I got a 650 in the last e-GMAT mock, and I had no idea what to do. However, DJ was always there at every step of the journey and motivated me not to give up. I revised my concept files, made sure my approach was consistent with every question that I solved, and I saw a remarkable difference in my performance.

Having exhausted my e-GMAT mocks and official mocks, I decided to register myself for the exam. I booked the online GMAT exam. I got stuck on a few questions in the quant section, and I didn’t let go of the questions that I should have, and I was running behind time before I even knew. I had 6 mins remaining for the last six questions. I got nervous, panicked, and screwed up my exam. I got a 640 again, but I knew that my ability is much more, and I will not settle myself at this score. DJ came up with a retake plan and made me understand how important it is to let go of the feeling of getting every question right on the GMAT exam. I decided to give as many mocks as possible and see where I was going wrong. I realized I did not apply my learning from the e-GMAT course while I was giving the exam. I took the veritas prep mocks and manhattan prep mocks, and my scores fluctuated between 680-700. Feeling confident enough, I booked the GMAT exam again. I couldn’t believe it when I saw a 700 (Q47, V38) on the screen. Finally, after months of preparation, my handwork paid off, and I can give the entire credit to the e-GMAT course and its effective strategy. For someone like me who’s never suffered academically but has been out of touch from studies for a while, I needed a comprehensive plan that keeps me motivated to study, and the e-GMAT course plan provided just that. On top of it, getting a mentor like DJ who was always there to guide me in the right direction is what I need to excel in the exam.

He specifically identified my weak areas and provided a plan to improve my scores in those areas, the results of which was visible.

I seek to retake my GMAT after scoring a 700, and Dhananjay continues to provide his insights on the retake plan, which is commendable.

The difference between e-GMAT and other services is night and day. e-GMAT has a very detailed course that provides all the tools need to succeed in the GMAT.

Based on your strengths and weaknesses, a personalised study plan is composed to better focus your study time. I struggled with SC and RC as well as overall time management before starting the course.

The teaching methods used are intuitive to follow, starting with the fundamentals and building upon that to move onto more advanced question styles. Furthermore, there are countless practice questions within the scholaranium to reinforce each topic that you have learned.

The material does not stop there as the team at e-GMAT provides interactive live sessions where you work on various question styles to best prepare for the exam. You also have several mocks to assess your potential score on exam day and identify your weaknesses.

Rajat, Payal and the rest of the e-GMAT team will work with you to enhance your strengths and help develop your weaknesses so you perform better on exam day. I cannot recommend e-GMAT enough as it is the best service to prepare yourself.

For anyone planning to take the GMAT exam, E-gmat's curriculum is a godsend. I had a low score on Verbal (V27) in the first mock I took and the Master Comprehension module given right before the verbal module, helped me in building concepts that were required to solve the tricky and often lengthy sentence correction and critical reasoning questions. The verbal module breaks the entire SC, CR and RC into small blocks where each and every possible information is covered and learning is retained due to multiple repetitions and practice and application quizzes.
Designing tests according to my aptitude in the Scholaranium platform helped me determine my exact areas of weaknesses and the areas which needed the most attention.
