I used E-GMAT as my primary resource from the start. Initially, I planned to complete my preparation in 3–4 months, but it ultimately took me 6 months to reach my target score.
1. Technology: The platform is exceptionally well-designed and user-friendly. Each question is accompanied by a detailed analysis and a doubt section, allowing users to read and learn from other students' queries and expert responses
2. Verbal: Their methodologies for each question type, along with Pre-Thinking, helped me develop essential skills to approach Verbal (CR & RC) in a structured and logical manner—a stark contrast to my earlier assumption that these questions were simply a "read-and-solve" type. Master Comprehension: a course on how to read and when to take breaks was game changer for me. The quality of verbal questions was excellent. I never felt a need to refer any other book/ course for Verbal.
3. Personalised Study plan(PSP): This tool helped me to keep a check in my daily progress and provided me with realistic timelines to completion. Though it took me more time than I had anticipated and that study plan has envisaged.
4. Expert Guidance: The E-GMAT mentor support through email was instrumental in helping me structure my preparation in an organized way. I had enrolled for PSP at last leg of my preparation. While helpful, I personally found it to be quite similar to the email guidance I was already receiving. My suggestion: enrol for PSP as early as possible, and make a comprehensive study plan with your mentor from the start. In the last two weeks, I felt I couldn't allocate requisite time to Data Insights (DI) for requisite improvement, largely due to the lack of visibility on overall plan structure.
The Quant section is more challenging than the actual GMAT, which strengthens problem-solving skills and enhances exam readiness. Verbal prethinking sessions are highly effective, offering structured guidance that improves accuracy and efficiency. Solutions are detailed, with expert insights that simplify complex concepts. The DI (Data Interpretation) questions closely match the actual GMAT’s difficulty level, making them a valuable practice resource. The platform is well-structured, ensuring a comprehensive and rigorous preparation experience. With in-depth content and expert support, it equips students with the skills and confidence needed to excel. Additionally, the mentors are highly supportive, providing expert guidance and detailed explanations that clarify even the most complex topics.
Overall, this is a well-designed and highly effective preparation tool.
Do not hesitate to start with TTP if you want to achieve your dream score! The course is structured, with tons of study material and practise questions, each with detailed explanation and videos. You can keep track of your progress through the dashboard, and see which areas you need to improve in. There are timed practise tests and review test to make sure you remember the concepts you learned and you can solve the problems in time. I knew I was in the right hands from the first moment, I only used TTP and it was absolutely essential in preparing for GMAT and scoring 705.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
They helped me in improving 80 points within 15 days. I taken test earlier and scored 585 and my score were fluctuating in mocks also. After my first test, I took shortest duration course from egmat. What I really liked is structure of the course and interface of course which forces you to think rather than just watching the videos.
Their query resolution is so fast, you post query on any question and they respond within few hours also.
Moreover, they assign you a mentor who help you not only related to exam but other related aspects also and really help you in navigating.
I could improve my score by 90 points to 675 with help of Egmat's guidance . The army of tutors ensured that i correctly followed everything and were strict with what to follow which led me to be disciplined with my approach. I would recommend this course to any person trying out to give GMAT whichever attempt it might be so as to be successful early on because the portal already is really intensive with the variety of questions and the plentiful tests which prepares you fully for the final exam day
The sectional tests, full length mocks are really good for the preparation as well since they not only provide a detailed view of your score but also gives an explanation for each and every answer in the assessment which is huge plus while preparing . The difficulty level of the questions is also at par or above the one actual GMAT has preparing you completely with what can come in the exam . Also make sure anyone enrolled with them actually follows the approach they have towards each section of the examination since it is very technical and surely played a huge role in improving my result
I think like anyone I would go with a product that is recommended by a friend or family or someone I know can trust on, that's why I joined a GMAT test prep course from another company in June, 2024. I prepared with them but could score only 635 in my first attempt in Oct, 2024. Its not that that company didn't prove to be helpful but it is when I joined e-gmat (being inspired by the results they advertised and student's interviews on youtube) and started my prep again, I saw how much e-gmat is advanced in terms of the quality of course they have structured on their platform.
I purchased a self-paced online course whose features were well suited was as since I didn't want to attend any live or classroom sessions. I knew that I had to fill my gaps in verbal (conceptual gap) not cor and data insights (conceptual gap + in-sufficient practice) - which as per one of the egmat senior team member - Sharddha mam's walkthrough of egmat platform was being covered in the plan I was going to enroll to.
Once I got onboarded, a coach was assigned to me (Rashmi mam) and she guided me in my prep journey. A few things imp for anyone who is starting their prep or is in the process and are looking for tips:
- Be consistent in your prep
(Measure how much time you are spending each day in studying. It used to happen to me that I would feel I have spent about 4 hours a day which was my goal but actually one day when I used online browser clock to get the analysis, I was surprised to know that it was merely 2-.5 hrs. P.S: most my time in studying spent on online learning)
- Build error-log (I didn't like registering my mistakes, I was lazy and I felt I will remember it but all of that was oversight at my end. One fine day I realized this because I was making repetitive mistakes. That's when I thought to myself that let me prepare these error logs for only those areas that are weak for me - CR, MSR, TPA. Although RC was also a weak area for me but I don't think error log was that much required for it. And believe me, revising these error logs frequently helped me a lot. I used egmat's error log templates. Their CR error log template may look overwhelming but I customized it for me to see the question type, mistake made and action items)
- CR Prethink -
(marketed by egmat but pay attention "this is the way to go" if you want to score really good in CR. And note this just a name given by egmat but is not something alien. Open GMAT OG, look at their CR solutions, they too teach exactly the same process. Initially you'll take some time in solving questions but if you keep on practice, you'll see the wonders happening. (P.S.: I've seen even Ron Purewell solve these questions in very similar style))
- RC improvement - follow egmat's way of reading the passage and the best arsenal to get to correct ans is eliminate options instead of going after the right answer. (While reading the passage - think of a third person or author reading that piece of info to you. This will help you understand where author's view is coming into play, what is crucial info and what are just details. Transition words are super imp)
- DI - Practice as much as you can.
(In my first attemo I didn't practiced enough and that was a bug mistake. So, make sure you do and solve the question you got wrong, multiple times even if you feel you know the logic. Egmat helped with the DI section especially to me because it has plethora of questions and also the concepts file for verbal MSR, TPA did wonders for me)
- lastly but most important - believe in yourself and take blessings of GOD each day
(Surround yourself with people who motivates you, fill you with positivity and who care for you. I always had this belief that I'm capable but still on my bad days the doubt used to creep in me but talking to my family and friends, helped me immensely)
P.S. Pardon the flow of the above review and all sort of grammatical mistakes. I just wanted to spend some time to write a honest review of how I'm grateful for the egmat team and also through this inspire some of the students/candidates who are in their journey to prepare for GMAT. No matter what medium you choose to prepare, I wish you all the very best! I know you'll achieve your dreams sooner or later. Cheers!
Managed to boost my score from 565 (from the e GMAT mock test) to 655 (actual GMAT result) in just a span of 2 months. And that's with me being on and off, not being consistent with practicing every day.
Now imagine yourself with a 4-month time and actually studying every day. You'll score much better than me.
The course really helped with mastering the concepts (which is the most important part), has great practice questions, and the perk I liked the most, a very great mock test exam.
I basically RELIED 100% on this platform, and it works. No other supplements, yes, not even the official guide book.
Sounds crazy, but it works. Of course if you're aiming much higher say 685+ you would have to put in more time, but considering only 2 months (less if you count in terms of effective studying time), I couldn't have asked for more!
The preparation material provided a complete, all-rounded learning experience.
For Verbal, the modules were exceptionally well-designed, covering all question types and frameworks in detail. The strategies for approaching questions, especially prethinking, proved to be a game changer in boosting accuracy and confidence.
In Quant, the PACE system was particularly useful in optimizing study time. By identifying and allowing me to skip already strong topics, it enabled focused learning on unfamiliar areas, resulting in significant improvements.
The Data Interpretation (DI) section was equally comprehensive, thoroughly covering all relevant topics and equipping me with the necessary tools to tackle complex problems.
Finally, the cementing quizzes, Scholaranium, and mock tests were invaluable for practice. These tools not only reinforced concepts but also simulated real exam conditions, ensuring readiness and boosting confidence.
Overall, the combination of well-structured content and effective practice tools made the preparation journey both efficient and rewarding.
Hello GMAT Club community!
I’m excited to share my GMAT journey, culminating in a score of 685 (Q88, V83, D81), achieved through focused effort over 4 months and strategic guidance from e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returning to academics after nearly two decades, I identified GMAT as the gateway to my aspirations. Initially, I joined a classroom-based coaching institute to re-establish a study routine. While Quant was my strength, I struggled with Verbal and Data Insights.
My initial strategy relied on strong Quant scores to compensate for weaknesses in other sections. However, a bad day in Quant revealed the limitations of this approach, as my composite score plateaued at 655 with significant risk of going downward depending on Quant performance. I realized I needed to improve Verbal (from V81) and Data Insights (from D76) to achieve my target.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turning Point: e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In December 2024, I joined e-GMAT’s LMP program, with Rashmi as my mentor. She customized a focused 4-week plan. This plan was a game-changer, leading to at least 30-point score improvement in composite score on the back of 2-3 point improvement in Verbal Scaled score and upto 5 point improvement in DI Scaled score!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Contributions of e-GMAT’s LMP Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Verbal Reasoning Mastery
The structured coursework emphasized clear processes, particularly in Critical Reasoning (CR), where I struggled.
The pre-thinking approach and “Cementing” phase stabilized my Verbal scores at V83, boosting both confidence and predictability through a very data driven process.
2. Data Insights Improvement
e-GMAT’s resources helped me manage time and tackle diverse question types like MSRs, graphs, and tables.
Translating statements into equations for Data Sufficiency and Two-Part Analysis became second nature.
3. Mindset and Strategy
Rashmi’s honest feedback helped me prioritize pacing, avoid getting stuck on tough questions and focus on improvement areas.
My perspective on MSRs transformed from avoidance to confident tackling, thanks to her guidance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips for GMAT Aspirants
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Build trust in structured processes, own them and stick to them on test day.
2. Practice consistently and challenge yourself with hard problems.
3. Focus on refining strategy and mental preparation in the final week.
4. Stay motivated, seek help when needed, and embrace course corrections. Remember in a long journey, there will be ups and downs.
5. Manage your time effectively and don’t dwell on questions that you are not able to tackle. Just move on.
6. Stay calm on test day, adapt to surprises, and treat each section afresh.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Takeaway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e-GMAT’s methodical approach, combined with Rashmi’s mentorship, was instrumental in my success. Their focus on data-driven improvement and strategic preparation gave me the confidence and skills to achieve my goal.
Good luck to all GMAT aspirants—stay focused and trust the process!
Preparing for GMAT can be frustrating but what makes it even more frustrating is the decision to select a course provider given numerous options in the market. E-GMAT stands out in this list of options for a variety of reasons. One of the best features I found on GMAT is the cementing mechanism which helps one drill the concepts learnt while applying them to actual questions for each topic which can be specifically beneficial if you already have foundations built and are looking to improve your score. Also the sectional tests and the actual mocks on e-gmat resonate with the actual test you will face on your exam date. Another important feature is that for each quiz or test you take you can customize it with difficulty levels of questions you want to attempt. This helps you build consistency by attempting a particular difficulty level which is crucial for securing a high score.
I used the e-gmat product for only 20 days during my journey to improve my score by 60 points to a 695 in focus edition. The last mile push program was pivotal in helping me identify my weaknesses and fill crucial skill gaps required for a high score.
