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!

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

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.

From 590 to 710!!!

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 :)

@ankitamaiti - love the sentiment "1) TRUST YOUR PREPARATION 2) IT'S JUST ANOTHER TEST, NOT THE END OF MY LIFE :) And I scored a 710 :)". People do well when they stop giving undue importance to the test.

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!

I am 30 years old and my focus level has been dwindling over the years, so when I decided to sit for the GMAT in March 2021 where I scored a 610 after minimum preparation. I needed an average 700 score for the schools and program I was targetting. So I used to EGMAT tool. Here is a summary of my experience:
1) The video explainations were very good, though a little lengthy sometimes but going through the material increases your stamina to sit and focus for longer so it is a win win
2) The feedback loop after each prepartion step is very helpful.
3) I made it a point to go through each explaination as the approach matters, especially in quant. Also the review by other users helps, so after a while I could develop my own style of solving the questions.
4) There were neat little messages sent in the email that would champion me, in case I missed or hit my target. Those really help maintain the rhythm.

Eventually by accepting the pointers and feedbacks and working long hours I scored a 690, which wasnt exactly 700 but I am happy:-)

Knowing your own target is the most important as GMAT can become an addictive game but the idea is to learn how to learn and analyse and keep at it.

This is only the beginning really!

I have subscribed TTP basically for the quant. The Quant section doesn't need any introduction. It's great already. What impressed me more was the verbal section. I found it really useful. I had subscribed other tools but this one felt more natural. But they will need to add more questions on the verbal section. Also, just a heads up, as of now RC is missing.

Quant section has more questions than you can possibly finish. I didn't complete the entire study plan. Focused more on the section where i was weak. The overall interface is very intuitive and clean. Their study plan is also great for someone who is just starting the prep. I would highly recommend this over anything.

650 to 710!

I reached out to Charles and the team in May 2021 after a disappointing GMAT score of 650 after 4 months of preparation. Charles assessed my ESR and then set me up for 1 on 1 tutoring sessions with Bransen Vilardo, one of Charles' tutors.

Working with Bransen was a pleasure: the way he broke down the verbal section and altered my approach really allowed me to reach my potential. The assigned homework structure and live result tracking allowed me to see first hand the areas I was lacking and improving in.

Bransen's approach is truly a "no-gimmick" method, where focusing on the fundamentals of each section and question type ultimately lead to my 60 point score improvement.

I really didn't think I could get to where I did, especially after attaining a 650, which I assumed was my score ceiling. After 8 weeks with Bransen I was able to attain a score of 710 and move forward with applying to schools at the top of my list.

Thank you Bransen and Charles!

I took the verbal course and the best part I liked about it was the reinforcing quizzes and exercises after every module or couple of videos. The new AI is also a good feature as it very aptly recommends the areas you need to improve in speed or accuracy and categorizes topics and suggests video lectures and quizzes to Improve upon the recommendations. It is very well structured to understand the different types and nuances of verbal section questions for a strong approach. It definitely helped me improve in speed and accuracy in verbal by leaps and bounds. The huge question bank is a big plus.

I took the e-GMAT online course a little more than a month before my test. The prep material and practice tests helped me quite a bit in my preparations.
I would recommend anyone looking to take an online course to subscribe to the course early in their preparation.
e-GMAT also offers a mentorship program (not sure if that's the correct name). I worked with Dhananjay in the last 19 days of my prep and his feedback was quite helpful. Again this would have been more helpful if I had approached him earlier in my prep.
I like how the course emphasizes on improving ability and does not promote gimmicks. Their meaning approach for sentence correction takes time to implement as a habit, but it works overall. Though they could definitely improve upon their material in the verbal section. In my humble opinion their material is not up to the mark. Though I could say the same about other programs after trying their free tests.
Their "Scholaranium" question bank is of great value once you have exhausted the OG material and the Quant section is more closely aligned with the actual test than the OG.
Over all I was pleased with their program and also see that they continuously update and improve it.

E-GMAT is a great online tool to strengthen your foundations with respect to the Quant and Verbal sections of the GMAT. It is self-paced, and the learning modules is adaptive to your personal weaknesses and focus areas.

I signed up for the online course, after taking my first GMAT attempt. While, I had score decently on my previous attempt, I was looking to improve my score by 20-30 points, to target the more competitive US B-schools.

After buying the product, I had emailed the E-GMAT team to help me with a personalized study plan to ensure my efforts were dedicated and focused on my areas for improvement. The E-GMAT team was prompt to assign me a mentor (Aditee) to guide me through this process.

Since the beginning Aditee has been extremely helpful and dedicated to my success. After taking a diagnostic test, we came up with a plan to identify my areas of improvement, and device a learning strategy accordingly.

I went through the Quant and Verbal learning modules, and used the Scholaranium platform extensively to track my progress, and cement my learning skills. Aditee was always there through the process to answer any doubt, and suggest improvement plans as per my progress.

The SIGMAX Mocks platform is really helpful to mimic the actual GMAT test experience. While the Quant section is a bit on the tougher side, the Verbal section accurately reflects the actual GMAT.

Both the Scholaranium and SIGMAX platform provide actionable analytics and data points to identify specific topics and areas of weakness. This really helps to isolate areas of improvement, and make targeted learning plans.

Even after my GMAT attempt, Aditee went over and beyond to support with analyzing my ESR, summarizing our learning journey. Having someone guide you through this test prep journey is super helpful.

Overall, E-GMAT is a really good platform, especially for someone who is starting their GMAT prep. Their mentorship program is really commendable, and I strongly recommend the E-GMAT service to prospective test takers.
