Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

I have divided my review into the following segments:

1. Course Structure
The structure of the content has been designed very well. Across both Quant and Verbal, there were ability quizzes along with cementing quizzes that helped identify the preparation level and provided detailed information about the key areas of mistakes and timing issues. The question pool is great with options to select the type of questions (Correct, Incorrect etc). Moreover, the mode of quizzes and video solutions helped enhanced the overall learning experience.
2. Content – Verbal
Sentence Correction – The meaning-based approach was quite helpful. I was able to apply the relevant concepts and use the three-step process across most of the questions that enhanced my SC score in the exams.
CR – The Pre-thinking approach is quite effective. After struggling with CR in the initial stages, I began to apply pre-thinking approach more consciously that improved my accuracy. The approach helped me eliminate the irrelevant answer choices and evaluate the correct choices in a better way.
RC – The passages in the quizzes and mocks were of a good level and provided effective practice for the real exam.

3. Content – Quant
For Quants, the quizzes were most helpful. The type of questions are relatively difficult compared to the real exam but it helped me prepare well for the exam and improved my timing. Taking a good amount of quizzes across all the topics helped me identify the key strength and weakness.

4. Mocks
The Sigma X mocks are a good indicator of the actual performance of the exam. The mocks provide ESR analysis along with detailed solutions and timing distribution that helped me understand my improvement areas. I was able to focus on specific topics of CR and SC through the mock analysis provided.

5. Last Mile Push (LMP) Program
After I had completed my preparation and began with the final lap of my preparation, I had reached out to E-GMAT team for certain improvement strategies. Rashmi from E-GMAT team contacted me and we started with the LMP program. Since I was struggling with time in mocks and faced difficulty in certain areas of Verbal, she helped me identify where I was going wrong and provided detailed study plan to be followed. She was very proactive in taking a regular progress check and gave effective suggestions such as practicing LSAT passages for RC and following strict timing rules for every block of questions in the verbal section. Additionally, the importance of letting go of questions that I was unsure of and keeping a positive mindset helped me on the D-day. The program was one of the best part of my preparation phase as it gave me a structured schedule and distributed my study plan uniformly through all sections.
In my opinion, LMP is a great program to enroll for improving test-taking strategies and streamlining the preparation plan.

Course Experts' Global "Must Have" GMAT Review

I am happy that I purchased Expert Global Set of 15 mock tests. I sow significant improvement in the score , especially for Quant.
I scored Q49 in this attempt, All thanks to Expert Global Set of 15 mock tests. The quality of quant questions is difficult than actual GMAT. But it prepare you for sitting for long hours and help you to not loose calm when you face hard GMAT question in actual GMAT. I recommend solving at least 7 to 8 tests prior to GMAT Exam. I think if they improve verbal solutions then that will be great for aspirants. The verbal solutions are quiet direct and does not directly describe the concept

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

e-GMAT's LMP, guided by the exceptional mentor Rida, combined with the Online 360 course, proved to be a game-changer in my GMAT journey.

After an initial stint with Target Test Prep (TTP) and scoring 690, I was looking for that extra push to break through my score plateau. e-GMAT delivered exactly that and more, resulting in an 40-point increase in my score.

What sets e-GMAT apart is its remarkable AI-driven analytics and personalized study plans, ensuring you focus on areas that need improvement. In my case, quant was a significant challenge, and e-GMAT's tailored approach and in-depth content provided a laser-focused strategy to bolster my quant skills, allowing me to polish all the concepts I thought I had but as it turned out I didn't!

Having a strategy expert was key. Rida's expertise and guidance were instrumental in demystifying the study process. The structured course (considering both CONCEPT and PROCESS skills), with its interactive modules, practice quizzes, and detailed analytics, enabled me to track my progress and see real improvement.

While I overinvested a lot on my GMAT prep overall before e-GMAT (too much, really), the program ultimately gave me the edge to obtain my "minimum, great" score.

Please now that on my mocks (both e-GMAT's and OG's) I was scoring 760-790, so the course will give everything you need to succeed. I underdelivered come test day due to nerves + time management, but that's alright!

If you're serious about your GMAT prep, this course is for you. It is the best value for money option.

- I studied in 3 months using Manhattan and saw no improvement. I used TTP in 4 month and improved my score week over week from 600 to 740
- Started with fear for Verbal section, I became much more confident after completing TTP Verbal course. My CR and SC rate is always around 80-90% after using TTP. I heard TTP is also very good at Quant course
- Very detailed guidelines with tons of high-quality questions and explanations.
--- Very clear study roadmap, which shows you what you need to study, to review, to reflect before the test
---Very supportive team, Marty answered every one of my questions in half a day.

Course e-GMAT Online 360

I absolutely loved the second leg of my GMAT Journey, which I prepared for using e-GMAT. I was able to develop a solid verbal ability, even though it didn't reflect that much in my test scores; however, it's a skill I can apply in my everyday life. I believe that if you have an e-GMAT subscription, you don't need any other material to prepare, as it truly is a complete product.

Course Material:
Coming from an Indian engineering background, I knew I wouldn't face a problem with Quant, and I was short on time. So, I decided to focus all my energy on Verbal to maximize my score in the shortest time possible. The Verbal course material was divided into the three main sections - RC, CR, and SC - and each section had multiple videos and practice files. I found the course material to be exceptional because the videos covered all the concepts in thorough detail and avoided giving generic shortcuts that fail during difficult questions. Learning these concepts helped me face any question. The small practice modules in between the videos were indeed useful and helped reinforce the concepts. Lastly, the practice files allowed me to test the concepts learned in each module.
I do not have much feedback on quant as I didn't prepare quant from e gmat, but I have heard great feedback on quant as well!

Scholaranium:
In my opinion, Scholaranium is the best e-learning product I've come across. Firstly, it offers a large question bank with more questions being added after finishing a mock test. Secondly, the option of creating custom quizzes and completing them in a time-bound manner is really helpful, and I would recommend everyone to attempt all questions in Scholaranium in a time-bound manner to simulate the real GMAT experience. The quality of solutions provided for each question is top-notch and clears even the silliest doubts you can have. Moreover, you can view the time spent on each question and modify your strategy accordingly. I spent a large proportion of my time here strengthening my concepts.
I recommend everyone to not think that GMAT quant is easier that e GMAT quant, as I am pretty sure that is not true having gone through the actual test multiple times.

Mentorship:
Dhruv from e-GMAT helped me assess my e-GMAT mocks and gave me a clear picture of where I was lacking, pointing out things that I was unintentionally overlooking. I highly recommend everyone with an e-GMAT subscription to reach out to their support and avail of mentorship. It made a significant difference in my preparation.

E-GMAT : Course That Transformed My Success

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 100 Points

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

I decided to go with e-gmat course based on the GMAT forum reviews and my experience using the free trial . I’ve studied using the e-gmat online course for almost 16 months and hence this review will be as detailed as possible outlining the advantages , mistakes to avoid, and how to effectively use this course.

I started with a free consultation call with e-gmat to understand how to use this course and to get a study plan. I like how the mentor was detailed in his approach and was focused on explaining , not selling. I took a free trial and was impressed with the platform UI and resources available.

Platform review : The UI is extremely easy to use with a good structure to it . The split of Verbal and Quant, further sub section splits, study planner, scholaranium with both e-gmat and OG question bank in one place, bookmark and notes section, accuracy metrics etc - each of these things were really helpful for me in planning my time, revising concepts and improving on weak topics .
I’ve used Study planner every day to input the hours I was putting in and the planner accordingly adjusts the expected time of course completion .
I would bookmark the questions which I wanted to review once and would use the notes tab to input my though process, improvement areas and approach issues . The questions where you’ve put notes will move to separate tab which can be used for your final review list in last days.

Course Content Review:
Verbal :
SC - The meaning based approach is the only way to ace 700+ level questions . The questions in the official exam move away from basic grammatical errors as you level up , and even if there are some grammatical errors it would be very difficult to identify them. I was extremely weak in SC initially, getting only 50-60% accuracy even in medium questions , but with lot of effort , cementing the process, following the e-gmat approach - my accuracy went to 80% in Hard questions .
The process to solve a question is extremely standardised, if you do the Course (practice files and application files ) as suggested it will become second nature .

CR - The Prethinking framework is useful for Medium level questions. I personally, wasn’t able to benefit much from it in Hard level . 
But what would help definitely is the framework , the mapping and visualisation habit of premise and understanding of the question statement .
The framework to make a falsification scenario, the swing test for evaluate questions, the table mapping in boldface questions were extremely useful.

RC - I am not an avid reader and I would average 6-7 mins reading time in long passages initially . With some of the concept files like Master Comprehension and Keyword importance taught by Harsha I was able to achieve high accuracy in RC and reduce time to 4-5 mins.

Quant : If you’re aiming for 48+ in Quant , there is very little chance to do it with just OG questions . I was consistently getting Q50-51 in official mocks and almost 90% accuracy in OG questions , but the official GMAT test was far from them .
The e-gmat course is extremely detailed, the foundation and approach is strengthened in the course and then by practicing Hard e-gmat questions from Scholaranium I was able to achieve Q49 . Probably , would’ve managed a Q50 if I didn’t get 4 Set theory questions :/

Strategy and Mentorship :
Dhruv Joshi, e-gmat mentor, has been instrumental in motivating me, providing study plan and helping me achieve 730 . He was a constant help and support for a period of 1.5 years . I would often have good accuracy but troubled time management. This is where Dhruv helped me understand how skill is function of both time and accuracy , in identifying timing issues, reducing TAKT time, and employing skipping strategy where required . He was able to provide me realistic and effective study plans based on my improvement areas and availability.

Few Important tips :
Do not break the structure of the course - Trust the process and, accuracy and timing will get better with time . A big reason I was having inconsistent accuracy , extreme anxiety and low scores in my first attempt was me not following the exact structure .

Use mocks when required - E-gmat gives 5 mocks, which Imo are bit less . The quality of these mocks is at par with official exam , hence plan these mocks when there is a notable improvement in preparation. Use custom quizzes to improve the Test readiness , which can replace need of mocks to some extent .

Be in touch with mentor : Be in constant touch of your assigned mentor. Even a chit chat on prep issues, exam anxiety, day to day tips from mentor can act as a stress reliever .


Small platform suggestion for e-gmat : I would solve, say, 100 questions total in SC, and when I would take a custom 20 question quiz of attempted questions some of the questions would come multiple times and some not that often . So if there is a counter at backend to count the number of times a question has come in quiz , it will make sure the questions appear uniformly . This will make sure during revisions we see all questions.

How e-Gmat helped me score a 730

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 90 Points

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Why e-Gmat – I was not very good at verbal and I happened to come across the e-Gmat YouTube channel which has a lot of free content. I was very impressed, both with the quality of teaching as well as the quality of questions and I immediately decided to enroll with E Gmat.

Course Quality – The E Gmat course starts from ground zero and teaches you the most basic stuff. So even if you are not in touch with verbal/ quants for years, it becomes very easy to follow the course. It even has a master comprehension course which teaches you how to read a sentence with strategic pauses. The questions are graded in such a manner that the difficulty level increases as you complete each module.

Consistent Approach – Hands down, EGMAT is the best when it comes to the approach – be it in SC, CR or RC. It does not teach you shortcuts which often cannot be replicated across questions, but focuses on a meaning-based approach that teaches you the nuances of the topic which will help you to solve any question irrespective of the difficulty level.

Cementing Quizzes – These are application quizzes and there are several hundreds of questions that one can never complete all of them. The best part here is that the course tells you how many quizzes you need to attempt for each difficulty level and the minimum score that you need to get in these quizzes before you can proceed to the next module.
Such practice ensures that a student gets enough practice before he moves on to the next question.

Advance Algorithms – You can drill down on your performance in any area with e-Gmat’s user friendly and advanced dashboards and you get to know the exact sub areas where you are performing well and the areas where you need to go back and revise.

Support from Strategy Experts – I first wrote to the EGmat expert team on March 27, 2023 and I wrote my Gmat on Sept 20, 2023. During this period, there were so many emails exchanged between me and one of the e-Gmat Strategy experts, Akash Aggarwal. He guided me in every step and I can’t thank him enough for my GMAT score.

The best Verbal Mentor Payal Tandon – When I started my GMAT preparation, I found it difficult to even identify verbs in a sentence. Payal is so outstanding in her explanations that one thing I will miss post my exam now is listening to her videos. I attended a lot of her recorded seminars as well and she would often tell her students to ask themselves a simple question while trying to solve the question - Does this make sense. Now every time, I read a question – Payal’s voice would echo in my ears and I ask myself a lot of probe questions while trying to arrive at the answer.

Note – My review above is mostly on verbal as I had a strong base in quants. But needless to say, even the quants course of e-Gmat is outstanding.

Dear ParikshitSaikia,

Congratulations on your score of 730 with a remarkable V41! A 90-point improvement overall is a phenomenal achievement and everyone here at e-GMAT is so happy to have been a part of your journey.

Scoring a V41 in Verbal is not an easy feat to achieve. It is possible only when you showcase consistency and dedication throughout your journey. You’ve discussed a great strategy for tackling RC passages where you are not acquainted with the topics of the passages. Through these strategies, your statistics across three subsections in Verbal in hard questions as shown in the below image, predict your amazing verbal score.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ParikshitSaikia-Verbal-Schol-Statistics

You showed phenomenal consistency in all subsections of Quant because of which you were able to get a Q49 in the exam. The below image shows your Quant statistics from Scholaranium which displays your hardwork –

With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam certain. The below image shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ParikshitSaikia-Mocks-Scores

We appreciate your feedback, but the purpose behind no easy cementing quizzes is that the student will already go through a lot of practice quizzes in the modules which consist of easy and medium questions. This practice leads to a strong foundation of basics.

With your zeal, you managed to achieve excellence in the GMAT exam. I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination and I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

Regards,
Akash

Fantastic course for self-study. I used to improve my score from a 590 to 740 in 4 months time. It took me about 3 months to get through all the fundamental material and from there I started using a combination of TTP questions and official GMAT practice tests to get ready for the actual exam.
Their flexible program was great for someone who works in consulting and can have a varying schedule. They also have a calendar that helps you pace yourself (although I found that for me, alternating between verbal and quant throughout my study process allowed me to feel motivated and not get too overloaded with one topic). Also, they have great guidance on the best ways to study, such as not feeling the need to use the dry erase board right away until a month before taking the test.

I recommend it to all my friends starting the GMAT study process or ones that need to strengthen up in certain areas (especially in quant). Some other things to note are that the customer service is fantastic and they'll get back to you very quickly about any questions you may have.
