Hi, I’m Abhrajit Ghosh, and this is my second attempt at the GMAT Focus Edition, which I took on 9th January 2025 and achieved a score of 695 (98th %ile). I have been studying for the GMAT for four years now. On my first attempt, I got a 645 on my own just using the OG material and free resources available on GMAT Club. But now when I look back, I realize that a 50-point improvement would not have been possible without dedicated guidance and a proper strategy. That’s where e-GMAT came into the picture.
After getting a 645, I continued working on my weak areas for another 2 months, after which I decided to try out the first sigma-x mock by e-GMAT. Based on my performance, I got enrolled in their Last Mile Push program, which proved to be the game changer. I was assigned a dedicated mentor from the very first day. She charted a detailed, customized study plan that included weekly milestones, provided in-depth analysis of my Scholaranium mocks in one-on-one meetings, and suggested ways to overcome my weaknesses. And most importantly, she always encouraged me to stay optimistic and have self-belief in the crunch moments. Practice makes you perfect, but e-GMAT showed me that not just practice but perfect practice helps achieve perfection.

The 3 most pivotal areas where e-GMAT helped me are as follows:
1. The curriculum is strategically designed to introduce basic topics that would act as the building blocks for the more complex and advanced topics, thus making it easier to navigate through the entire course. I have always been good at quant, so I was able to utilize their PACE learning option, which helped me filter out just the content I needed improvement on. The verbal course helped me fill in my conceptual gaps, and the video explanations enabled me to better visualize and apply the POE approach when I was left with the two closest answer choices. The data insights course helped me read the DI questions better to get an accurate understanding of what has been mentioned and what exactly the question is asking. So, even though this section is highly time-consuming, I was able to implement the strategies and some intuition while solving the questions, which helped me keep track of time.
2. Scholaranium has a vast pool of questions to practice from, starting from topic-wise cementing quizzes to sectional mocks to full-length sigma-x mocks. It provided me with a thorough analysis of my performance across the sections (from accuracy to timing), which helped me instantly pinpoint the areas I need to work on to improve my accuracy as well as bring down the time taken per question.
3. During the end of the preparation, I was able to revise and reflect on my mistakes with the help of custom quizzes that contained previously attempted incorrect questions. As a result, I was completely prepared on the DOs and DONTS for the actual exam.

A few tips I would like to share with future GMAT aspirants.
1. The Quant Section is generally harder in the actual exam than in the official mocks, so don't solely rely on the quality of questions you encounter in the official mocks. Practice harder questions so that you don't panic in the actual exam environment.
2. Practice the art of letting go. Don't beat yourself up; let the exam beat you. Learn to let go of the harder questions when you feel you have taken more than the time you should have taken to solve it. You can always come back and change the answer. That's one of the perks of GMAT Focus.
3. Time management is extremely important. Note down certain time intervals on your work pad so that you can check whether you are lagging or you're on pace with the allotted time.
4. Practice the mocks in different section orders to figure out the order that brings out your optimal performance. My 645 attempt was (V-Q-DI) whereas my 695 attempt was (Q-DI-V).
5. Official mocks 3 to 6 are harder than the first 2 free mocks. So they will provide you with a better indication of what your performance on the actual exam may look like. So use them very carefully.

course is good to build the basic foundation as well as for understanding difficult questions. some parts of the course not self paced. they run at 1x speed only which can be boring and frustrating sometime. the English teacher speaks a little slowly which makes it more difficult to complete the English part. some explanations are good, other are very confusing. The software of the product is really good. the question timer, interface and analytics are good. it's difficult to complete course in two months so all should take a buffer of 4 months at least. the full length tests are realistic and the interface and everything is same as real gmat

I recently took the GMAT (offline) and scored 685 (Q88 V81 DI83).
Self Study phase : I utilized GMAT Club and GmatNinja which got me till 645. However, I had hit a plateau at 645 and needed to identify gaps and fine tune my weaker areas.
After taking trial for most of the courses out there, I chose e-Gmat because of the detailed and diverse categorization of topics and practice material on their platform.

LMP : I was enrolled in the Last Mile Push Program, I worked closely with my mentor Abha, who helped me with identifying the areas requiring a back-to-basics approach and those needing more practice.
As a result, My accuracy improved significantly in Verbal and DI. In Quant, we fine-tuned my problem-solving process for specific topics that were taking longer than average to solve.

Overall, I found e-GMAT's content to be very carefully crafted, covering all aspects and question types you might encounter on the exam. The platform is excellent, enabling you to identify weak areas and track your progress over time.

I recently took my GMAT Classic exam and scored a 720 (Q49, V39, IR 6, AWA 6). My starting ability in the GMAT was somewhere around the ~500 level, hence a lot of effort went in to fix the basics!

Here's what I liked about the course:

1. The meaning based approach in SC makes it so easy to find errors in sentences in a structured manner. This helped me develop SC into one of my strongest areas in the GMAT.

2. The RC reading strategies helped me a lot in terms of managing time during the exam, helping me form linkages and reduce my dependence on taking notes.

3. Scholaranium is a game changer. It provides unparalleled insights into where is it that we need to focus our efforts. It provides sub section level analysis of our performance, making the entire prep structured and data driven.

4. Mentorship: I wrote to the E-GMAT team requesting their help on charting out a plan to improve my score further from a 700 that I had scored in my first attempt. I'd like to thank Rashmi, my mentor, for the prompt and consistent support in charting out the plans, assessing my performance and tweaking the plans accordingly. Her inputs helped me improve my score from a 700 to a 720. I was unable to translate my performances in the mocks and practice quizzes on the exam day, else I'd have scored much higher. Rashmi was very prompt, patient and supportive throughout the prep phase and I'm grateful to her for going out of the way to help me.

All in all, I'd recommend the E-GMAT course not only because of their teaching methods, but also because the module (Course, Scholaranium, Sigma mocks) is very user friendly and provides unparalleled insights to help students take data driven insights, which help in directing efforts towards the weaker areas.

I had a wonderful experience working with Rida from e-GMAT for my GMAT prep. She was always there to answer every question I had, no matter how small or complicated. The e-GMAT course itself was really helpful—it gave me clear strategies and plenty of practice to improve my Verbal, Quant, and Data Interpretation skills.

But what truly made the difference was Rida’s personalized support. She took the time to figure out where I was struggling and gave me notes tailored just for me. Her guidance and feedback made me feel confident and motivated throughout my preparation journey.

Overall, I’m very grateful to Rida and the e-GMAT program. If you want a tutor who is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Rida!

I recently used e-GMAT for my GMAT preparation and achieved a remarkable improvement from 635 to 685 on the GMAT Focus Edition, with outstanding sectional scores of V85 (94th percentile), Q88, and DI79. What truly stands out about the platform is its incredibly structured and methodical approach to GMAT preparation. Their course is thoughtfully designed with a clear progression path, helping students build strong fundamentals before tackling more complex concepts.

The verbal section materials are particularly impressive, helping me achieve a dramatic improvement to the 94th percentile. Their pre-thinking approach for Critical Reasoning is a game-changer, helping develop a robust problem-solving framework. The Reading Comprehension module offers a systematic 7-8 step process that dramatically improves passage comprehension and question accuracy. The structured approach helps transform abstract concepts into actionable strategies.

The Scholaranium question bank is exceptional, offering questions that are often more challenging than the actual GMAT. This excellent preparation ensures students are well-equipped for test day. The platform's data analytics tools provide detailed performance insights, helping identify areas needing improvement and tracking progress effectively.
One of the most valuable features is their Last Mile Push program, which offers personalized mentorship and tailored study plans. Dhruv, one of the mentors, is highly experienced and provided strategic guidance throughout the preparation journey. His advice on test-taking strategies and time management is particularly valuable.

The course's video lessons are engaging and break down complex concepts into manageable chunks. The cementing quizzes after each module help reinforce learning and build confidence. The platform also offers comprehensive mock tests that closely simulate the actual GMAT experience.

Perhaps most importantly, e-GMAT emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and preparation. Their approach helps students develop not just content knowledge, but also the right mindset and test-taking strategies necessary for GMAT success. The platform's comprehensive resources and structured approach make it an excellent choice for GMAT preparation.

First and foremost, I would like to say that E-GMAT is by far the best platform I have used to learn and solidify concepts. This was especially helpful in the verbal section where I knew I struggled with the concepts and was in search of a guided framework which I developed through the duration of the course.
A little bit of background, I have, before this attempt, previously taken the GMAT classic, around a year before, in which I scored a 690 (classic). So when I took the free mock test on E-GMAT and got a 565, I knew a part of that was due to my rustiness with recalling the tricks of the trade and pacing.
I was looking to push my score beyond the 700 (classic) mark and was looking for the right platform to help me with this. From my past experience, TTP was too cumbersome and the OG question bank was too surface-level. Having seen some reviews and talking in person to the E-GMAT team, I was sold on the merits of the course.
On signing up, I was helped with setting up a personalized study plan (PSP), and here lies the first area of consideration. Ideally, I would have set my target at a 655 (maybe 20 points higher at a 675 at most), but I was ushered to push for a 695, and that's how the PSP was set. I know this isn't a bad thing, but given the fact that I was only 2 months away from my exam, I felt this was more than I should have committed to.
To begin with, the verbal course is excellent. Hands-down the best for CR and RC you will find on the internet today. There are certain instances where the practice questions don't really match the GMAT style, but I feel E-GMAT is the closest of all the others. Now, during the exam, I did get a lot more assumption-type of questions which I think was less of a direct focus in the verbal modules, but the framework that is ingrained takes care of all question types—so 100% recommended for verbal prep.
Now, the prep is longer than it is listed and I kept falling behind on my study plan. By the time I reached the quant section, I was already panicking because I spent 50% of my prep time just on verbal. The real problem however is that the quant section was not at all like the actual GMAT. It is way more difficult than it should be, and maybe this is intentional, but for me, I was not able to get through the course. After doing a few modules, I stopped using E-GMAT altogether and instead signed up for GMATCLUB question bank and focus tests. Do understand this my personal experience. If I had more time, I would probably have been able to get through the quant course and maybe score even higher.
I spent the last 20 days of my prep just doing practice tests and quant questions from GMATCLUB. Sometimes I would do a verbal test on E-GMAT. I also didn't do any DI prep apart from practice tests. My practice tests ranged 635-655 and I was happy with that and my actual score being a 695 was just the cherry on top (tip: take 2-3 days off before the actual exam).
Overall, I highly recommend E-GMAT for your preparation, BUT keep these points in mind:
1. Allocate more time than the study plan's estimate (pace yourself by 1.5X).
2. Quant course will really test you, so be ready for that (actual GMAT was a breeze compared to the prep).
3. Diversify your prep between a few sources as no one gets it a 100% right, but together (E-GMAT + GMATCLUB + OG) you are going to end up covering 99% of what will be there in the actual test.

I have used multiple GMATstudy sources and I can certainly say that the quality, versatility and ease of using e-gmat stands out. The learning modules, cementing quiz and timely feedback from mentors really helped me achieve my score. Scholoranium has some really amazing questions for practice. E-gmat mocks provide detailed insights and analytics to analyze one's weakness and are some of the closest mocks to the OG. I couldn't find a course that provides Data Insights learning modules in such depth and the support from my mentor Rashmi has been commendable. I will highly recommend e-gmat to anyone who want to learn at their own pace.

Strengths:

- Good Verbal Course
e-GMAT’s Verbal section was instrumental in my score improvement. The pre-thinking and visualization techniques for Critical Reasoning taught me to systematically analyze arguments, anticipate correct answers, and spot flaws with precision. Similarly, the active reading strategies for Reading Comprehension improved my ability to identify key information quickly and tackle complex passages confidently. These approaches turned my verbal weaknesses into strengths.

- Scholaranium Platform
The Scholaranium platform stood out for its high-quality, GMAT-like questions and detailed analytics. For Data Insights (DI), the challenging yet representative questions helped me master speed and accuracy, leading to a 98th percentile score. The Quant Scholaranium was equally invaluable, offering rigorous practice that enhanced my problem-solving skills and resilience.

- Cementing Quizzes
The Cementing Quizzes reinforced my learning and solidified key concepts. These quizzes, closely aligned with the actual GMAT format, helped me build confidence and perform consistently under test conditions.

My GMAT Journey:
When I began my GMAT journey, I was scoring 635 and felt stuck after a second attempt at 655. e-GMAT completely transformed my approach. Thanks to their structured and comprehensive methodology, I improved my score to 695.

e-GMAT not only enhanced my skills but also boosted my confidence, making me feel fully prepared on test day. For anyone struggling to break a score plateau, I cannot recommend e-GMAT enough. It’s more than just a course—it’s a complete system for GMAT success.

I started my GMAT prep with a score of 550 (which I received back in 2021 with basic preparation now that I look book). With a more determined mindset, I chose Experts global's full access course to give the boost to my GMAT preparation and it helped my improve my score by leaps and bounds. My experience went something like:

1. I was a bit apprehensive about the new format of the GMAT. However, getting access to the Focus Edition material early from Experts Global helped me put everything into perspective as I had already studied for the old GMAT previously.

2. The interface was exactly like GMAT! This was frankly a great boon to familiarize with the interface and features so that I felt like home when I eventually gave the test.

3. There is a lot of rich content on the course, from videos to analytics. I loved the analytics in particular as it helped me plan my preparation accordingly and make changes in approach whenever needed.

Overall, can't complain as the course and tests helped me achieve the score to get admits in my dream schools!
