An honest review of E-GMAT

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Location Online

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.

Course Experts' Global Complete GMAT Prep Online

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!

I enjoyed my journey with TTP, got a 665 in first attempt and 675 in second attempt. My scoring could have been higher as I was getting 695-715 in official mocks but I found the main exam verbal set to be tougher than official mocks. However TTP mirrored my exam performance. It is an All-encompassing course, just have to follow it step by step, without thinking here and there. Final scores resemble the performance you get here. My quant remained strong, my Di remained decent and my verbal remained weak on my main exam attempts, mirroring my prep from TTP. Good job!

I started with Egmat coz of my constant low scoring in verbal,
and i started right from scratch, going through basics and it helped me immensely improve my verbal command.

What I liked:
course structure: very well structured course, they start with very basics and go till advanced stage. they will start right from how to read in verbal and very basics in quant!

content: at par with gmat focus, all quality practice questions. their PACE in quants is really a game changer, it saves lots of time!
their DI content was very close to what I experienced in exam.

cementing quizzes: something very unique about egmat. right after you finish any course topic, there are cementing quizzes to cement what you have learned. this helps to retain your learning a lot and you dont feel the need to constantly go back and check the concepts.

support and mentorship: this is the best part! they were always just an email away and I always got their reply within few hours!
never felt stuck anywhere during my prep. specially Abha was always there to resolve all my queries anytime i reached out to her. LMP helped me a lot at every stage of my prep

sigmaX mocks: hands down the best set of mocks you will find. I have tried other non official mocks, none can come close to their adaptiveness and quality of questions. gave me a really good idea about how the actual exams are going to be like.

I would definitely recommend egmat to anyone aspiring their gmat journey!

Course e-GMAT GMAT Live Prep

I used e-GMAT to improve my GMAT score from 605 to 675, achieving Q87, V84, and DI80. The program’s modular study approach and data-driven analytics were standout features, enabling me to track my progress and feel in control throughout my preparation. I also appreciated the live sessions and weekly coffee chats, which broke the monotony of studying and kept me motivated with valuable tips.

After trying several prep companies’ free trials, I chose e-GMAT for its user-friendly, data-oriented interface. The course’s structured progression was especially helpful, starting with foundational skills and building up to timing efficiency. I began with the verbal section, improving from the 70th percentile to the 90th percentile in just three weeks—a remarkable feat given my past struggles with reading comprehension in exams like the SAT.

The program’s verbal-first approach provided a strong foundation that helped me tackle quantitative and data interpretation (DI) sections more effectively. The question analytics were another highlight, offering detailed insights on accuracy, timing, and score distributions. This feature allowed me to identify patterns in my mistakes and boosted my confidence when I saw that some challenging questions were difficult for others too.

While the course was transformative, certain sections—particularly word problems—felt excessively challenging. Although this built mental endurance and made actual exam questions easier, it also caused stress during preparation. I’d recommend students manage their expectations and remember that perfection isn’t always necessary.

Overall, e-GMAT provided a systematic, supportive, and effective approach to GMAT preparation. Its structured modules, detailed feedback, and engaging community played a key role in my improvement, equipping me with the skills and confidence to achieve my target score.

As a working professional who improved from 515 (36th percentile) to 655 on the GMAT, I can confidently say e-GMAT played a pivotal role in my success. The platform's unique selling point is its data-driven approach to GMAT preparation, which became evident from day one of my journey.
The standout feature is their Pace Engine, which intelligently customized my study plan by skipping content I already knew while ensuring no knowledge gaps remained. This saved me over 41.5 hours of study time - crucial for a working professional. The quality of questions in their Scholaranium quiz portal is exceptional, matching the rigor of JEE Mains level problems. What sets these questions apart is the clear performance benchmarks they provide - 70% accuracy for medium questions and 60% for hard questions, giving students a concrete target to aim for.
Their Data Insights section deserves special mention. As someone who struggled with this new GMAT section, I found their comprehensive coverage of all question types (DS, GRT, MSR, TPA) incredibly helpful. The detailed video solutions for every question didn't just provide answers but taught better approaches to problem-solving. Additionally, their pre-thinking methodology for Critical Reasoning significantly improved my verbal performance, helping me achieve a V79 from V73.
The mentor support system is another strength. My mentor Dhruv provided consistent guidance through regular performance analysis, strategic advice, and quick responses to queries. What I particularly appreciated was the honest feedback about weaknesses - there was no sugar-coating, just actionable advice for improvement. The platform's analytics are impressive, offering detailed insights into performance across question types and an effective error logging system to track mistakes.
My sectional improvements speak for themselves - Quant from Q82 to Q87, Data Insights from DI73 to DI82 (93rd percentile), and Verbal from V73 to V79. These improvements came through structured learning, quality content, and strategic guidance. While the Coach Connect feature could be more structured, it's a minor concern in an otherwise excellent program.
What truly sets e-GMAT apart is how it helps develop both content knowledge and the right mindset for GMAT success. The platform's ability to identify and target specific weaknesses, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, makes it particularly effective. For anyone serious about GMAT preparation, especially working professionals, e-GMAT offers a comprehensive, data-driven path to success.

I started preparing for the GMAT, hoping to get a 90%ile+ across sections through self-study. However, two months down the line I found myself in murky waters, with high self-doubts on my ability to predictably score, along with diminished confidence on my ability to come out of it. In such a time, I decided to enroll with e-GMAT.

After taking the initial mock and scoring a 665, and given constraints around time commitment, I knew that I had to take a curated path for all three sections. I was in touch with my mentor Rashmi, who was kind enough to proactively check in and offer course correction steps.
For Verbal, I had to go through the entire curriculum, familiarizing myself with pre-thinking and getting accustomed to reading strategies, before moving towards cementing and the practice questions. I moved straight to the practice problems in Quant but soon had to take a step back at the cementing process to improve accuracy.
I would definitely recommend e-GMAT for someone who’s looking for a reliable and accurate resource for studying, and for someone who wants to spend less time figuring out what to study, and focus only on execution.
