Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

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 finished my first GMAC practice test with a score of 680, and after 3 months of studying with TTP, improved to a 760. Their approach to the quant section is very comprehensive and it gives you the tools and confidence you need to do very well. I'm definitely stronger on verbal than I am on quant, and TTP helped make up that difference for me.

Sections are very specific and comprehensive. Everything on the actual test I encountered on during the test prep. Each chapter has a good breakdown of different types, and you can focus your practice on weaker sections.

They're just beginning to launch verbal, but I was able to benefit from that as well - the questions are generally harder than the ones on the GMAT so they're good 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.

eGMAT - It helps you level up

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.

I took the GMAT back in 2019 and wanted to improve on my score. So in mid-2020, I reached out to the E-GMAT team as I had been able to participate in some of their free online workshops over the past few months and had a positive impression on their teaching style. The E-GMAT team has been supportive since Day 1. I had an initial one-hour call with someone on the team and sent my ESR for review. Immediately, he was able to identify various weaknesses in my performance and suggested that I participate in their mentorship program, which was new at the time. One week later, I was introduced to DJ, who became my mentor and go-to contact person.

During our initial call, DJ raised many important points about my ESR and came up with a detailed plan to work on my weaknesses. Every week, I would have a chat with him and he would tell me exactly what I needed to focus on from the E-GMAT course and their Scholarium question bank. Many people who struggle with GMAT studying lack structure in their preparation. Thanks to DJ’s help and continuous support, he gave me concrete steps and actionable items to focus on in order to gauge my improvement over time. His steps centered around going through E-GMAT’s structured course and drilling hard on quizzes using Scholarium. He also gave me reassurance throughout the entire process; I felt confident with what I was doing and had a clear idea on how to spend my time studying.

DJ made it clear that I needed to focus on four elements to do well on the GMAT:
• Learn the concepts
• Continuously apply concepts through questions
• Focus on mastering timing
• Have confidence in your abilities

I retook a few months later and scored a 710. I plan on retaking the GMAT soon and working closely with DJ again to strengthen any existing gaps in my learning. DJ promised to see my goal through until I reached 730+ and I am confident that he will continue to provide reassurance towards my success. We are now working towards that retake plan by communicating weekly and tracking my progress.

E-GMAT worked for me because of several reasons. Firstly, Scholarium contains hundreds and hundreds of questions across both Quant and Verbal; there’s endless opportunities to practice and refine your skills. Likewise, you can select specific types of questions (Strengthen, Weaken, etc.) to focus on. Secondly, their platform also allows you to see your accuracy rate on question types. Finally, the mentorship program was super helpful. It was very personable and customized to my own needs and schedule. DJ seemed to genuinely care about my success on the GMAT and he made an effort to follow up with me on a weekly basis and commit to my 730+ score goal. I'm excited to continue working with him.

I signed up for TTP after reading the amazing reviews of its offerings on both GMAT Club and Reddit. This product did not disappoint at all.

I was looking to improve my GMAT quant score and reach the Q50/51 range (I work in a non-quantitative field so this was particularly important for me to achieve). Having already studied the OG books and the Manhattan Quant book, I was confident in my understanding of the Quant theories being tested in the GMAT. I soon realised however that I needed to truly drill in these concepts and practice a ton of questions - this is where TTP truly excelled.

TTP's question bank is extensive and as close as I could find to real GMAT questions. The answers provided (including the step by step method to get the answers) were clear and helped improve my understanding of the concepts being tested and how to apply such concepts to complicated scenarios.

Going into the test, I felt confident that even when faced with tough questions, I had the necessary skills to break such questions down into first principles and apply what TTP had taught me to answer the question at hand.

Thanks TTP for helping me achieve my Q50 goal - truly a resource worth paying for.

Best guidance for GMAT prepration

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.

I would highly recommend the Magoosh Premium GMAT package. I would like to mention some of its pros and cons.

Pros:
1. Very elaborative and structured way of providing lessons and tutorials.
2. Help service is very fast and reliable. Always there to answer your doubts and queries and almost never leaves you unsatisfied with the content.
3. The explanations to the questions are very good and detailed. Some of the parts of the questions are covered in text explanation, while other are covered in video explanation.
4. RC passage explanation in separate YouTube videos is terrific.
5. Also, the marks approximation is a plus point.
6. The facility to take notes for every lesson and questions is a very good approach to remember and note down your queries, weaknesses, doubts and other stuff.

Cons:
1. The custom test, though has an option for adaptive questions, but I found them almost random.

A mind-blowing 13 point improvement in Verbal : Road to 750

e-GMAT as a whole is phenomenal to say the least.

I signed up for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course after 3 failed attempts and specially when my score had dropped from GMAT #2:690 Q50 V34 to GMAT #3:650 Q50 V28!!! One of my seniors from undergrad recommended me this course.

Before my third attempt, I thought that my preparation was rock solid and that I would smash the GMAT with a 740+ score easily (since I was getting in the mocks). But after downloading the ESR and getting it reviewed by the eGMAT instructors, I came to know that I had big structural gaps when it came to concepts.

The e-GMAT's Master Comprehension is such a good thing to learn. It helped me not just with Sentence Correction, but also with understanding complex CR arguments. I definitely recommend everyone to follow the process very closely and strictly. Then came the meaning-based approach to solving Sentence Correction questions and I cannot overstate the fact that how much this actually changed my mind.

I would highly recommend their Verbal course if you're a non-native speaker who's struggling with sentence correction. I improved my ability considerably with the course, and started scoring good in the mocks with my newly increased accuracy. My GMAT #4 went considerably better with a Q50 V38 but just a 710, which was quite low for this breakdown. And during the test itself I felt that this is not my ideal attempt - I experienced short mind blocks.

Nevertheless, I approached eGMAT support again, even though it had been 2 months since my course expired, and sent them my ESR. Dhananjay Lowe (DJ) picked me up from there and scheduled a call with me wherein he provided me a deep analysis of my performance and identified exactly what the issue was: A weak RC ability coupled with incorrect answers to my first RC passage, which had a very low difficulty level. I was amazed by how many insights DJ could draw out of the ESR.

I just listened to Dhananjay's advice and reappeared for the GMAT#5 and scored a super 750: Q49 V41. Notably, I got a 99%ile in SC with not even a single incorrect answer - this itself speaks for how good their Verbal online course is.

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.
