I prepped for GMAT while working in an incredibly busy start-up. Here is what I liked about the eGMAT Course.

Critical Reasoning

Throughout the course, eGMAT gives subcategories for each category of questions. For example, a question can be profiled as - CR → Assumption Based → A context-dependent truth being assumed as a generic fact.

This helps you profile a question while you are reading it and make a mental note of what type of reasoning it probably is testing. This was incredibly helpful in CR.

Their Pre-Thinking method is also a great tool for CR Questions.

Reading Comprehension

eGMAT teaches you common structures of RC passages. This makes interpreting and skimming RC passages easier.

Sentence Correction

Meaning based approach - eGMAT stresses on this a lot in their SC course, and it's a good model to have while solving SC questions.

Quant

eGMAT has a great question bank in Quant 2.0 and Scholaranium 2.0 for Number systems and inequalities, which are heavily tested topics on GMAT.

Scholaranium 2.0 also gives you insights on which question types take you a long time to answer (which is worse than getting them wrong in GMAT)


One-on-one Support

Best thing about the eGMAT course is the one-one-one support in the LMT program. This was especially important for me since I was working with extreme time constraints. I worked with Atreya Roy. Atreya created personalised study plans to structure my prep, defined milestones, and gave me some important reality checks.

Expert Team
I would recommend trying to get as much 1-on-1 interactions with the expert team. It can give you pointed advice that will help your score jump by 20 points just like that. I had hit a wall with SC. My conversation with Shraddha from the expert team was crucial for me.


Strengths -

eGMAT is an expert on the GMAT. They know all the nuances and prudent things about the GMAT. This reflects in all their courses (except SC)
eGMAT Course is great for topics that you are really weak at.
1-on-1 interactions are very helpful.
Subcategories of questions created by eGMAT are incredibly helpful.

Weakness -

Course is extremely long and slow. I recommend only doing the parts that you are weak at, or you will waste a lot of prep time.
SC Question Bank doesn’t emulate GMAT accurately. I would recommend doing OG questions for SC preparation (also available in Scholaranium 2.0). There is just a different flavor to OG questions that no one can quite capture. Also eGMAT’s prescribed process helped me get better at SC during practise, but is simply too long and idealistic for the actual test.

TLDR: Used their quant program to improve my score to above a 700! Would recommend! I first decided to self study for the GMAT with the purchased official guide book and free materials online. I got a 700 and was happy with my score, but had 3 more weeks in between jobs to try to improve my score. With only about 7 days on e-GMAT, I learned enough quant skills to get from a 700 to 720. If I would have spent 14 days, my score could have been even higher. The lessons are so thorough and you learn SO MUCH about approaches to tackling quant. I didn't focus on verbal because I did well on verbal and my score was very much lacking in quant. If you are trying to get this done in a time crunch, reach out to the team at e-GMAT. Dedicate as much time as you can. They don't cram the information, they ensure you are internalizing concepts and approaches, so you cannot cram it all in a few hours. Would definitely recommend- thank you e-GMAT!

During my year-long on-again, off-again relationship with the GMAT, Target Test Prep was a constant for my Quant studies, and was ultimately the tool that helped me go from Q38 to Q46 (620 to 720 total).

TTP is a well-structured resource with all of the GMAT topics organized in a clear and sensible manner. The format eliminates the guesswork and makes it easy to track progress and revisit topics, which is especially useful when life gets busy and GMAT studying gets temporarily pushed to the back-burner.

The seemingly endless number of practice problems of varying difficulty levels made it easy to properly account for content I already knew well or needed to study more. The instant feedback after completing chapter quizzes made studying engaging, and helped me get into a groove when persevering through long study sessions.

The Analytics feature, with performance analysis by topic and customizable quizzes, allowed me to optimize my study time, making review and practice sessions extremely straightforward and valuable.

Finally, I experienced amazing customer service and support from Scott and the rest of TTP team. They genuinely root for their users and are always there to help!

I began my GMAT preparation in April 2021. At first, I did not plan to purchase any GMAT course but after around a month of preparation I felt a shortage of good questions and thus I began my research for a good GMAT course. I looked through all the options and took up as many free trials as I could. In the end, I found the E-GMAT course most appealing of all the courses as it was cost-efficient and provided a dedicated tool to practice the concepts(Scholaranium). Also, as I had already used the E-Gmat free trial, I was convinced that the E-GMAT course material is good enough.

I only enrolled for the verbal section as verbal was my biggest weakness and I believed that I do not require any assistance with quant.

The E-GMAT Verbal course description:
The course is extremely detailed and covers all the aspects of GMAT Verbal. The course consists of Master Comprehension, SC, CR, and RC modules, and each of the modules is divided into three stages. E-GMAT according to your performance in Sigma-X mocks provides a personalized study plan. The course offers a ton of questions in the form of concept quizzes and application files as well so that you can practice the concept you just learned. These application files allow you to solve each question on your own and then provide a detailed explanation for the same. Additionally, E-GMAT teaches a simple yet efficient way to tackle each of SC, CR, and RC and this novel way definitely worked for me.

What I liked the Most:
The E-GMAT support team is the best feature of E-GMAT. Whenever I had a doubt on any question in Scholaranium, I posted on their forum and I got an answer in less than 18 hours. Apart from this, the support team helps with almost every query you may have regarding the GMAT. This personalized my preparation to an extent that I can't begin to describe. The support team deserves a huge shoutout for the work they do. All of them including Atreya, Shweta, Dhananjay aka DJ, and many more helped me tremendously in my preparation.

For instance, I fared badly in my first GMAT attempt, scoring just 700 and I immediately contacted E-GMAT as I was confused about whether to give another attempt or not. In response, I received a complete questionnaire in order to find out what went wrong from Atreya, and soon after I was contacted by DJ. He consulted me regarding my score and provided insights as to whether my current score can get me an admit to my dream schools. This meeting was very helpful as it helped me decide to have another go at the GMAT. For my second attempt DJ provided a revision plan as well as various invaluable tips to improve my score.

Overall the GMAT verbal course is great because of some key features such as Scholaranium, the support team, and the data insights that Scholaranium provides. Although there is just one drawback that you cannot access the Sigma-x mocks if you have enrolled for just E-GMAT verbal or E-GMAT Quant. Sigma-x mocks are accessible only to those who have enrolled in the E-GMAT Quant + Verbal course.

I started preparing for the GMAT with a diagnostic test and knew it straightaway that the verbal section will be a decider for me. I took the e-GMAT coursework to help myself with the verbal section and i could see changes in my thought process to eliminate two or three close choices. The meaning based approach for SC questions did in fact come a long way in tackling difficult questions in which grammar played little or no role. For CR questions pre-thinking approach helps one create a situation in which one has an edge with the structure of the argument, even when one is not able to exactly figure out the assumption or pre-think the exact answer choice. For RC, I practiced a lot to overcome the fear of non-familiarity with the topic.

I was struggling with the Verbal section since my first attempt. I scored a 650(34V/46Q) in Nov'19 and scored a 650 again in Jan'21. I ended up cancelling my score this time, with no hope left in me. I read about TTP on Reddit and I thought of taking GMAT again, one last time. Started my journey with TTP on 16th May.Scored a 740(42V/49Q) on GMAT on 27th Septmenber. 4 months are enough for you to utilize TTP as long as you have brushed up your Quant. Even though TTP didnt offer RC during my prep, I was able to improve my score by 8 points in Verbal solely by practicing SC and CR modules. Bother Verbal and Quant modules are detailed and clarify each concept with examples ans quizes. I did not use any other prep material this time, only TTP and GMATclub for practicing OG questions. When it comes to GMAT preparation, TTP is a 10/10 .

Jamie was an incredible instructor. She has been doing this for several years, and you can tell that she has curated the class and her teaching style based on her experience. During class, Jamie made topics fun, by telling funny anecdotes and examples that really help the material stick in your head. She also pushes useful tips, such as keeping an error log and taking the practice tests at a certain cadence, which I think made all of the difference in my study experience. Thirdly, she really goes the extra mile to give every student individual attention, by being very accessible over email in between classes and helping you build your individual study plan based on analyses of your practice tests. Lastly, she brought interesting problem examples to class that we wouldn't have found necessarily in the Original Guide or in the standard Manhattan Prep curriculum. I found these problems to be very exemplary of the actual problems I encountered on the GMAT and doing them in class helped me solidify the methods to solve them. Can't thank Jamie enough for the amazing experience!

E-gmat was a great help for my 700 gmat score. Things I liked about e-gmat :-
1. Methodological and step by step approach
2. Quick support and response from the mentors.
3. Promoting the creation of error log
4. Well designed course structure. The process they follow is first test, then teach and then practice your skills in any particular area.
5. They also conduct frequent webinar on not only gmat exam but also on business school application.

I can't imagine getting a 700 score without e-gmat's support. Six months back when I had appeared for my first mock and scored a 610; I had no clue as to how I should go about my prepartion. The course content of e-gmat provided me confidence in my prepration.

GMAT is not a month's game. It is more about consistency and patience and time Management and e-gmat truly resonates with this.

I took the GMAT online test in July and ended up scoring a devastating 590! I was shattered. I did not know what went wrong. I immediately wrote to e-gmat team. They sent me a set of questions to analyse what really went wrong during the test. They also looked into my schoranium data to figure out what were my weak areas. And I figured out that the test anxiety really got over me. My schoranium scores showed that I had the ability, but I got very very nervous during the test which ruined the entire test!!
I took a day off and started over again. I looked into where I lacked. I followed the instructions given to me by Aditee (from e-gmat). Her detailed feedback really helped me to work on my weak areas. For example - I was not doing great in boldface questions in CR. In SC, I was always going wrong in comparison questions. I identified and worked on the questions from specific topics I lacked. And Scholaranium data helped my identify my weak areas!!
How E-GMAT course really helped me --
Starting with the Master Comprehension Course , I learned how to pause at specific points , read slowly and comprehend the meaning while reading. This technique really helps while comprehending long sentences!! Sentence Correction module is just mind-blowing. It is my favourite part of the E-GMAT course :) It teaches the meaning based approach, which actually helps to solve the 700 level questions. With just the grammar rules, one can solve the lower level questions, but for solving the higher level questions, one really needs to focus on the meaning of the sentence. Pre-thinking approach taught in critical reasoning module works wonders. It is difficult in the beginning to pre-think, but once you are able to pre-think, you can solve a question very easily.
The Scholaranium is a great tool to know your strengths and weaknesses and work on them. Please look at what the data is telling you!! If you are taking more time in solving a modifier SC questions, it means you need to go back to the modifier module and fill in your concept gaps. This is how I used the scholaranium to identify and work on my weaknesses.
I took the GMAT online test again in September. This time I kept two things in mind. 1) TRUST YOUR PREPARATION 2) IT'S JUST ANOTHER TEST, NOT THE END OF MY LIFE :) And I scored a 710 :)

Harry and Charles are truly the best, they have cracked the GMAT code! With enough hard work, discipline and direction, absolutely anyone can get a good score on the GMAT and I truly believe that. Just give them a chance to help you!

My journey started 5 years ago. I tried self-study, and studied hard. After months, I was able to get a 680 which was below my target schools so I was not too happy. As a non-native English speaker, verbal was always my weak area. I personally did not think I could improve my verbal from 36 to 44, but Harry proved me wrong! Please note, a tutor by himself will not be able to do magic - there needs to be hard work behind but the beauty is that GMAT Ninja will give you the road map and will tell you exactly how to get there. In addition, Harry and Charles are very personable and keep the studying fun by throwing in a couple jokes in the study materials.

In conclusion, it will not be easy but 100% you should give them a try if you are below your target score, the money is well worth it. They will give you plenty of homework to keep you working and point you in the right areas to improve every week. I have nothing but gratitude towards Harry and Charles!
