I started e-GMAT after a recommendation of a friend. The flow of the e-GMAT course was truly user-friendly. It began with a mock to get my current status, then as per my estimated required score, it helped me plan a schedule which could work together with my day job.
The ordering of the course and the emphasis on fundamentals helped me a lot as I often ignored minor mistakes as flukes or speeding errors. Using "strategic pausing" and "pre-thinking" drastically changed the way how I was attempting questions in Verbal and also allowed me to score well.
Another aspect that I liked about e-GMAT is the Cementing Quizzes. Even when we complete the study material, it is difficult to be confident about it & we often doubt if we can perform well in the actual situation. Cementing quizzes and Yes/No loops were very helpful for that since I had to take a break from studying in between and I wasn't sure about the material that I covered previously. After the quizzes, I could identify my weak points and focus on improving them, which saved me a lot of time.
For anyone who wants a self-paced yet organised way of preparing for GMAT, I would highly recommend e-GMAT.

TTP quant is probably the most comprehensive material you could get for the GMAT. It is exhaustive and delivers on every count. I focused primarily on the medium and hard questions while going through each and every chapter that TTP has to offer, and they built a solid base for what I was to encounter on the GMAT. I never felt under-prepared after going through TTP end to end and though very long, I enjoyed the way the quant content was presented. One piece of advice to anyone going through TTP is to make good use of their bookmark feature and the Must know tabs while making your own notes simultaneously. The custom test feature is great for revision too, and the questions are very GMAT-like so kudos to the team!

Hello all! Last week I took the GMAT for the second time and managed to score 760 (V44, Q49), up from 710 in my previous attempt. For my preparation, I mainly relied on E-GMAT. I would like to share what this preparation looked like.
I started my GMAT journey back in March 2023. I approached my preparation with no rush as I was not clear, and still am not clear, when I would be applying to an MBA program. I recently graduated from college and simply wanted to “get the GMAT out of the way” and make use of the 5-year window it has. Another relevant piece of information of my preparation is that I was working full-time throughout my preparation, so time was an issue.
When I started choosing a GMAT preparation course, I had a preconceived notion that the most important thing for preparation was practice. I also needed a course that I could take at my own rhythm due to my lack of time. Because E-GMAT had the most practice questions among the courses I was considering and because of its flexibility, I enrolled to E-GMAT.
Coming into the preparation, my weakest part was verbal, specifically sentence correction. When I started the course, I realized that practice alone was not enough and that there were several conceptual gaps I had to attack first. E-GMAT’s structured course was perfect to attack these gaps. All of the modules were very helpful.
Even though making sure all the conceptual knowledge is clear was essential, the practice that came afterward was as well. I took my first attempt of the GMAT when I had not gone through enough practice, and hence, did not get my target score. After that, my focus was primarily in practicing. For this, the E-GMAT platform is perfect. Being able to create custom quizzes tailored to once needs was super helpful. Although the amount of option for these quizzes might be a bit overwhelming at first.
Lastly, a key part of the preparation was the actions taken after taking any practice quiz, which are extensively recommended by E-GMAT. This key part was making sure I truly understood the answer of every single practice question I took, even if I got them right.
In short, the E-GMAT course manages to tackle all of the key needs of a successful GMAT preparation.

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.

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

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 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.

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.
