e-GMAT review - A must in your GMAT Prep Journey

My journey with e-GMAT was very fruitful. I got all the support I needed from the team along with the extra push I requested for towards the business end of the prep as they enrolled me for the Last Mile Program, which features mentorship of the highest level. The emphasis on maintaining your own error log was one of the key factors of e-GMAT. Having an error log really helps with identifying your errors in thought process and making sure you don't do that again. It's emphasis on the meaning based approach for SC and creating para summaries for RC was the highlight of the Verbal section.

Hi ChawlaManav,

Congrats on the massive 100-point improvement! That's seriously impressive!

I would want to take this opportunity to commend you for your diligence -it was all your hard work and dedication that made this success achievable.

I am glad the meaning-based approach in SC and the emphasis on creating paragraph summaries for Reading Comprehension helped you improve your Verbal score. Here is an image you can be seen using your strong conceptual knowledge and process skills translating to 88% accuracy in SC questions.

Only GMAT resource you'll ever need

TTP was the best resource I could have asked for to prepare for the GMAT. Before I began studying, I had no idea how to effectively study and wasted a few months solving random OG practice questions without actually learning the material. After searching for a more structured study plan, I found TTP was the most recommended choice and decided to stick with it after my $1 one week trial given how thorough it is. Turned out to be a great choice.

TTP basically holds your hand all throughout the process and is so detailed and simple to use that you don't need any other resources to study for the GMAT. The study plan has you alternate between Quant and Verbal so you never lose focus on either section and ends each lesson with practice tests that ensure you don't forget what you just learned.

As everyone says, the Quant section is amazing, but the Verbal section was also a life-saver for me, more so given that English is not my first language. Every single topic the GMAT could ask you is covered in the lessons. This ensures the score you get is not luck-based, my practice tests were 10-20 points from my real GMAT score, and I was able to exceed my target score on my first try.

I really believe that TTP is the best plan out there with its combination of lessons, practice questions, practice tests, and video explanations, keeping you engaged every step of the way.

Very Good Option (+ caution for the rote learner)

I came from a very weak QUANT background and I have historically been someone who is quite anxious taking standardised exams to the extent that it impacts my performance.

Some highlights from using this course are: (1) that it explains early on HOW to study and not just WHAT to study, i.e., the correct-answer at all costs oriented mindset is why I was able to develop such strong VERBAL skills in CR, (2) the incredibly detailed understanding-oriented approach to QUANT was very helpful given that I am someone who previously struggled a lot with math.

That said, one constructive criticism is that if you are someone who is traditionally very rote and you have a strong memory, I would advise you to seek out uncertainty and discomfort in the OG bank at the end of your prep. Because I crave patterns I found myself getting really high analytics accuracy (90%) on TTP tests but comparatively poorer scores when handling truly uncertain problems on mock exams.

I have found e-GMAT to be extremely helpful. I started using this platform after my 1st attempt and it has helped me a lot with my preparation especially with the verbal section. The scholarinum which is a specific feature of e-GMAT portal allows us to have a detailed analysis of our strengths and weakness, so that we can focus specially on our weak areas to improve them. I will strongly suggest people to use this platform and especially the facility provided to interact with the experts there who can do a detailed analysis of our progress and provide valuable feedback on how to proceed ahead with the preparation.

A Game Changer for Quants & CR

Improvement N/A

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

TTP is an incredibly thorough course and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone who plans on giving gmat. The quants are super thorough and the amount of practice one can do from the course is more than enough for a substantial score improvement. Quant & CR are very well designed and the tests in SC also give you an accurate estimation of where you stand.

The language of questions can be tweaked to match the language of official quant questions. While TTP provides somewhat straightforward questions to hammer concepts, it can also include a mix of more OG type questions to provide a more accurate stat about accuracy on the real test.

e-GMAT : A true partner for 750+ Dream Scores

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

e-GMAT was instrumental in helping me achieve my target score of 750+. I found their platform and their pedagogy intuitive to follow, easy to use, and suitable to my schedule and aspiration. The course content was comprehensive and covered each topic that is tested on the GMAT. I particularly found Quant very detailed, and went through each module to revise and apply concepts. While I had a good grasp of the concepts tested by GMAT makers prior to taking the e-GMAT course, I struggled a bit in time management which made me a little haphazard in answering the questions, leading to silly mistakes and rushed problem-solving.
e-GMAT helped me build upon my ability to hone my exam-taking strategy - which is crucial to getting to the 99th percentile. Approaches such as the Meaning-based approach in SC, Pre-thinking in CR, note-taking in RC and the 7-skills for Quant increased my accuracy and made my timing strategy very strong. The platform is very interactive, and combined with their advanced, adaptive quizzing platform Scholaranium helped me evaluate myself at every step of the way, which is again crucial for scoring well in GMAT.
I especially really liked the cementing quizzes, ability quizzes and conceptual quizzes which helped me simulate exam-like testing environments for Quant and Verbal sections. I also found the entire team very supportive, understanding of my schedule, and quick to respond. My mentor Dhruv Joshi was one of the most key players in my journey and I cannot thank him enough:) He would regularly check-in with me, respond to all my questions - his guidance and encouragement was invaluable. I had to take off days irregularly in between due to sudden professional commitments, and Dhruv really helped me here by checking in with me every 2-3 days and reminding me to go over my notes for even 30 minutes to keep the momentum going. A big challenge for me was accommodating GMAT prep along with my professional and other commitments and e-GMAT was invaluable in their support and guidance in helping me achieve my target score alongside.
I would 100% recommend GMAT test-takers to check out e-GMAT once before committing to test preparation. Further, I would also suggest that future GMAT test-takers go over the official guidelines about each of the sections very carefully and gain a thorough understanding of the structure of the exam. Going in with a thorough knowledge about what the exam asks for, along with a strong plan-of-action that takes into account one’s current ability and accommodates their schedule will lead to the best results. I would also ask potential test-takers to be patient with the process, not get dejected by small obstacles or failures, preserve and be consistent in your efforts and work with single-minded focus on your goals and you will surely do well.

Hi pv09

Congratulations on the fantastic score!  

What a journey you’ve had!!

Your success is a testament to how important being self-aware during prep is. You introspected after your first attempt of 730 (Q49, V40) and realized that to go from a high score to a higher GMAT score needed much more than what you had been offering.

If someone looks at your Verbal Scholaranium scores today, no one will believe that Verbal was once your weakness. You turned this weakness into your strength with your patience- the patience to UNLEARN and then LEARN a more methodical approach to SC, CR, and RC. You took your Verbal abilities a notch higher by applying this structured approach

Take a glance at your Verbal Stats:

https://success.e-gmat.com/pv09-Verbal-Scholaranium-stats

Diligence and the right decisions during prep played a key role in helping you improve from V39 (88th Percentile in your 1st attempt) to V44 (96th Percentile in your 2nd attempt). Your most significant improvement was seen in CR. You improved your accuracy while simultaneously reducing the time to answer questions by applying the Pre-thinking process.

https://success.e-gmat.com/pv09-CR-Improvement

Your SIGma-X mock attempts gave the much-needed predictability, Your scores of Q49 on 2 mocks followed by 2 consecutive Q50 scores gave you the much-needed confidence to go out there and ace the Quant section

https://success.e-gmat.com/pv09-Quantscore-Prediction

When I look back at your journey, I can surely say that it had its own set of challenges. However, the way you rose above every challenge makes your achievement even more special.

pv09 , these traits of yours will help you throughout and we wish you the best!

I think taking egmat subscription was the best decision I made when I decided to enroll. The course structure is amazing and my mentor Aakash, was kind, encouraging, strict at times and he ensured he got the best out of me. My advice to anyone who is enrolling would be - just blindly do what your mentor tells you and just follow the process. Results will definitely come, in time.

Also, I am a total fan of the Egmat mocks. They were completely accurate, especially for me, and prepared me to face anything and everything on the exam. The adaptive nature of the mock and the question relevance, very much mirrors the really test.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to give their best shot at GMAT.

Verbal lacking and course provided wrong information

Pros:
Quant section explanations are great
Chat allows you to ask questions to tutors
The software is easy to use
Cons:
Verbal section is lacking, the theory is super repetitive and not particularly useful, one is much better off watching gmat ninja videos. Overall I would say the verbal section is overloaded with useless theory. In addition, the list of available exercises is very limited, I encountered repeat questions.
Quant section is too detailed for my taste, after doing the same exercise 10x i don't see the value in doing it 10x more, the number of practicing questions testing the same concepts during the course are IMO too many,
Wrong information was reported during the course, the course mentioned it was possible to take the gmat at a test center and immediately afterwards (no cool down period) take the gmat online. This is what I tried to do right before a holiday, I planned the test center option early in the week before holidays (knowing this would be a good practice run) to then take the "real" one in the more favourable online gmat environment. Imagine my frustration when I spoke to people at gmac who informed me a 14 day cool down period applied even after switching from test center to online... This completely messed up my schedule, here I am months later still practicing after taking off 1 month due to holiday (during which I obviously didn't plan to study) Overall really let down the course displayed the wrong information

Overall disappointing, I expected more from the highest rated course.

650=>e-GMAT=>710

I did not start my Gmat journey with e-GMAT. I started with two other Gmat prep courses, one after the other, which are also available on GMAT club. I did work as diligently as I did in the e-GMAT course, sticking to 'AI curated plan', taking live classes and following every step instructed by the experts.
I did not have a process to address different types of question that Gmat offers. I ended up just mugging up lots of grammar rules, skimming through passages, and following all sorts of shortcuts and gimmicks. With confused efforts the results were also confusing, Gmat mock scores ranging from 650 to 750 in 10+ mocks. The scores were very inconsistent. However, I went on with my First Gmat attempt and scored a 650(Q50,V27).

Disappointed with my official score and not knowing what to do next, I attended the e-Gmat free session and then I realised that I neither had a process nor a focus on key aspects such as author's intended meaning in SC, his line of reasoning in CR or the intention behind an RC passage. Thus, after the free session ,I joined the e-GMAT course.

As I completely followed the e-Gmat course, the most difficult part was not to learn the new process oriented approach but to get rid of the gimmicks and solving techniques that I had learned earlier. I followed the course plan sincerely and thus my accuracies improved in all the verbal sub-sections. As I put in diligent efforts, so I got into the Last Mile Program and I got a dedicated mentor.

I am very thankful to Rida mam for guiding me through the whole process, for attending to different weak areas one by one and most importantly for hearing out all my woes and cries with verbal for so long.

Since then ,my GMAT scores have only gone up. I recently scored a V42 on the official Gmat,which is yet to be officially reported. I doubt that this jump from V27 were possible without the constant help and mentorship from Rida mam. The Last Mile program is really one of its kind and really helped me focus on the key aspects. This includes understanding at a granular level what my strengths and weaknesses are and helping me to build the right strategy to work on them.

I now have a structured process to solve the verbal section, a process that focuses on understanding the author and realising the true intent of a passage rather than on merely solving. It is now that I realise the beauty of this test, and what skills it focuses on. This realisation took quite a long time as I wasted a lot of precious time on gimmicks and shortcuts suggested by other prep companies in my earlier phases of Gmat Prep.
