I recommend E-Gmat to anybody who is struggling with the test. In case you're on the edge about making a decision regarding the test-prep firm you want to join forces with, I further recommend visiting the huge library of free e-gmat resources available on the internet, and figuring out if the fundamental approach followed here makes sense to you.
Personally, it is exactly what I needed, and I loved the way the course as well as the product has been designed. Apart from just the teaching aspect of things, which is cementing by the sheer number of outstanding results achieved by egmat, I would like to commend the team for the stellar product and peoples practices followed by everyone I have had the chance to interact with. I'd like to take another moment to thank Rida for being who she is, and being ever-present in my journey. Felt nice having someone feel so deep in my corner all through.
All in all, e-gmat is a great place to be through!

Dear anandv98,

CONGRATS ON GMAT 750!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on the platform. As your mentor, it brings me immense joy to know that you found our course to be structured in a way that is easy to understand and consume.

None of this would have been possible without your dedication and diligence. The best example of this is in SC. You knew that this was your weakest area, but after working on it diligently, you were able to improve from the 50th to 96th percentile –

90 point improvement - V28 to V39

Improvement 90 Points

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Overall a great course which helped me improve my score by 90 points! The course is very well structured, explains everything in detail and builds step by step on every ability - by starting on easier level questions and moving on to tougher ones. Their strategies like maintaining an error log, had immense impact on my preparation. Initially, I did not follow these, but when I started following these strategies, it helped my verbal score a lot.

Coming to the verbal section, It has everything you could ask for. The meaning based approach in SC, the pre-thinking approach in CR and RC help a lot in solving those hard level questions, which take a lot of time and effort, in a structured manner. The small quizzes in the end of every concept helped me to cement the skills I learnt. After completing a subsection, there is a cementing process which helps in cementing the ability which I gained in the course by practicing on GMAT like questions. The level of questions in these quizzes was similar to those in the real GMAT. Helped in a lot to improve in my weaker areas, especially SC.

About the quant section, as my starting score was Q50, I was familiar with most of the concepts and the study plan recommended me to move straight to the cementing stage. The level of the questions in quant is little bit higher than the actual GMAT, which kept me grounded and not overconfident of my skills. Any concept which I was weak in I could practice and master through the concept files.

Last but not the least, the amount of personal attention and support the team provided me is the most important reason for my score improvement. I purchased the course in January and was not serious, not even completing the verbal course fully till mid April. I mailed the team about my situation and from that day onwards, they have kept no stone unturned in helping me better myself. From daily study plans to detailed mock analysis, they helped in every way possible. Special thanks to Akash from the E-GMAT team who helped me till the last night of my preparation!

Will recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their score, especially in verbal.

Dear Aakarshit arora,

Congratulations on your score of 730 with a remarkable Q50 and a V39! A 90-point improvement overall and an 11-point improvement in Verbal is a phenomenal achievement and everyone here at e-GMAT is so happy to have been a part of your journey.

Scoring a V39 in Verbal is not an easy feat to achieve. It is possible only when you embrace the processes and let them become second nature to you. You used the Scholaranium analytics to understand your weaker areas in SC and then you used the customization feature to do target practice on those weaker areas. The image below shows your improvement in SC hard questions from 53% to 87% accuracy.

It was because of your commitment that you improved from V28-V39 in Verbal. You maintained your consistency throughout, understood your weaknesses, and worked relentlessly on them. The image below shows your phenomenal stats in Verbal hard-level questions across all three subsections –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Aakarshit-arora-Verbal-Scholaranium-Statistics

You were always willing to put in the effort to understand where you were going wrong, and you improved your time management abilities with each mock. The below image showcases how accurately the SIGma-X mocks predicted your current ability in Quant which was validated by your Q50 in the GMAT exam –

We appreciate your feedback, and our team is working relentlessly to improve on them. e-GMAT is in the process of developing the course for the new GMAT focus edition and will be soon launching the revamped course.

It was a pleasure mentoring you and I am glad I was a part of your GMAT journey. 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

Jamie is an incredible teacher!
It was clear from the start that she is extremely experienced with exceptional knowledge of the ins-and-outs of the GMAT exam. Her in-depth understanding of every single topic and question type that could come up on the exam equipped us with a whole toolbox of techniques and tactics we could use to approach questions, no matter the difficulty.

She gives really clear explanations and breaks down challenging questions into manageable and simple steps, making the whole process seem a lot less overwhelming. Her teaching style is extremely interactive and engaging, meaning you were actively learning throughout the class and were really taking on board what she was teaching. It was an enjoyable experience being in her classroom and we all looked forward to class each week and learning from her.
Jamie truly cares about her students and goes out of her way to create the best learning environment, often staying behind in her own time to answer questions or go over concepts again. Most importantly, she believes in each and every one of her students and gives them the confidence they need.

Anyone would be lucky to have Jamie as their teacher - Thank you so much Jamie!

My first practice test I got a 600, and studied over the course of ~6 months and got a 740 on exam day. Manhattan Prep complete course was very helpful, and Jeff helped me outline my post-course study plan. I was able to get 50% extra time due to a learning disability, and he helped me understand how to adjust my timing strategies.

The course is broken up by week with homework assigned for each week. After the 10 week course I had more time until my test so I did not study regularly for the next ~4 months, but studied occasionally with my post-course study plan. It was great to have access to the online portal and books for that time.

I had a good experience with the team. Sunita and Subhankar were very helpful and were constantly available to discuss any issues I had during the prep. I would recommend this to anyone who is either starting out or is midway during their prep. The videos were interesting and the question bank had good variety of questions as well . The course structure is designed in such a way as to cover all topics in each subsection gradually. It is comprehensive and the explanations are easy to understand. Quizzes are designed well and the review section helps a lot to filter and find specific questions youve faltered in to create an error log. All in all, Its totally worth the money

Having studied for GMAT using various resources (Magoosh, TTP, Manhattan Verbal Books, Official Guide) for 9 months, I managed to increase my score from 620 (first attempt) to 680 (second and third attemp) but my score hit the plateau at 680. I didn’t have any problem on quant side(usually scored 49-50) but my verbal scores were inconsistent and far away from my target (fluctuated around 27-34). I was targeting for 700+ score, and I decided to work with a Private tutor. I was always amazed with Gmat Ninja videos on Youtube, so I knocked their door without a second thought.

The level of care and attention they give to their students was apparent even before I started my first session. They really dig into detail about how did I study for gmat, which materials I have used, my practice and actual exam scores and tried to understand my situation. I luckily had a chance to work with Harry. From the moment we start tutoring, he was super attentive and patient. He uncovered each factor that keeps me away from my target score in detail and forced me to apply the right concepts and thought process for approaching each question. He was like a traffic police that calls out and immediately corrects each flaw in my thought process. The only thing left on my part was to follow the steps that Harry laid down for me and be disciplined througout the process. After four sessions with Harry, I felt much more confident on Verbal and increased my accuracy rates significantly. Finally, I passed the 700 barrier and scored 710 (V38-Q49).

Overall, the course offers the best for value especially when you club the discount it offers on purchase of the official prep materials form mab.com. This is huge benefit since everyone has to buy them. I would rate the course a 4/5 due to the old nature of the verbal course. Since I have more than 6 months of subscription left I would be happy if they provide some updated materials. The quant explanations as mentioned are awesome and simple to understand especially the topics on combinations, set theory and probability. I hope maggosh updates the materials in verbal sections. I wish them all the best.

GMATWhiz helped me a great deal in improving my score from 610 to 710. It provided a strong foundation and understand of each and every concept and I was able to solidify these topics with multiple quizzes provided by the course. The GMATwhiz provides unique methodology that when applied, makes it easier to get higher accuracy rate. The course simplifies each and every topic and teaches you the approaches to tackle each type of problem. By the end of the course, I was able to have a clear understanding of each topic and I was able to solve 700 level questions using their methodology. I was mentored by Subhankar, who helped me work on my weak areas and also guided me in the best way possible. We discussed regularly on my scope for improvements and analysed my quant and verbal performance of each topic. The verbal section has defined methodology for SC, CR and RC, that makes it easy for students to identify the flaws accurately and solve the questions. I would definitely recommend GMATWhiz to anyone planning to take GMAT exam.

I got a 730 score on the GMAT in college, then took 3 years of a break off the exam. When I got back in the swing of things, I wanted to elect a service that would not only bring me back up to speed to a score level comparable to when I took the test last (730) but also give me the methodology to exceed my prior score.

TTP was able to do that by providing methodical ways to answer both verbal and quant problems that were proven, repeatable, and guaranteed strong scores on my practice tests and on my actual test. As a software person / product design person, I also really appreciated how the digital platform was designed for test success, and felt like all the features of TTP were pushing me toward a better score goal.

It was a very time-taxing journey (maybe ~200 hours total), but I am so glad that I opted into getting TTP to get me the GMAT score of my dreams. Now onto applications :)

My GMAT journey has been a long one with multiple break either due to family commitments, job responsibilities or my own procrastination. But along this journey one thing which was has been constant was E-Gmat’s consistence support and guidance.

Strength of EGMAT can be analysed in the following three segments:

1. Content/Course structure: e-GMAT has very comprehensive and detailed course structure. You can be sure that you are covering every possible concept tested on Gmat.

Course starts with basics and ends up covering even the most difficult concepts tested. Each module is thorough with ample examples to solidify the understanding. Course is divided into small modules containing concept files, application files and practice quizzes. Concept files cover the theory in detail, application files teach how to approach the questions involving those concepts and finally practice quizzes help you to test your understanding and gather feedback.

Grammatical concepts are as important as the process to solve the question. SC/CR/RC each has its individual process to approach and solve the question which is explained beautifully in the course. How to read strategically, utilizing the sentence structure to get the most meaning out of the sentence. Pre-thinking is definitely a game changer for RC and CR.

2. Process and Analytics: Egmat puts a lot of emphasis on following the process. My accuracy and timing both improved dramatically once I started following the process. Initially the process takes time which often disheartens us and we want to skip the process. But with time, once the process is ingrained then you notice the true power of it. The accuracy and timing both improves, which in-turn boosts your confidence.

Scholaranium (the practice platform) helps you practice questions based upon your weakness and provides insights on improvement area. Having such granular level of insights helps you keep moving and improving. The solutions are also in great detail which helps you understand the mistakes and analyse what you missed and what needs to be improved.


3. Mentorship: I believe this is the best feature of egmat. Mentors are tenured and take immense interest in your success. They keep you motivated and accountable. My mentor worked with me for more than 6 months, helping me improve bit by bit. She helped me create a plan towards success, analysing my performance and progress. She gave invaluable feedbacks at appropriate times and showed great faith in my potential at times when even I was not very sure about my progress.

In short, I would suggest to blindly just follow the egmat plan and path created by the team. I realized this later which did cost me plenty of time. GMAT is not about solving tons of questions but strategically learning from each question and applying the learning in subsequent questions. Honing the skill, following the process and working towards accuracy and efficiency.

I improved my score from 640 to 690 to 720 to 760 and this would not have been possible without egmats support and guidance.

Dear AYUSH198,

Congratulations on the massive 120-point improvement to 760! What a score and what a journey! It has been a pleasure working through the Last Mile Push program with you toward this target.

This mail from you after the test, spoke volumes about your joy:

Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/Ayush-Joy-of-Scoring-760

The mail made my day, and I was so happy that you finally got the score that you deserved😊

I am really glad that you found the course architecture helpful and made complete use of the concept files and application files to build a rock-solid foundation. You then mastered the processes to build a 95th percentile ability across verbal. This image shows the time spent on the Pre-thinking files helped you improve to a 92% accuracy in CR, while reducing the overall time to 1min 48 sec:

Image link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Ayush-Solid-Foundation-Equals-Solid-Ability

It is commendable that despite taking longer to apply the processes at the start; you continued to apply them consistently, so that it become second nature to you. This helped reduce the time taken over time and improve accuracy.

I am happy that the analytics on the platform helped you identify your areas of weakness which in turn helped you improve and build up a solid ability. See how this data-driven strategic approach helped you improve and maintain your RC ability at 90 + percentile:

Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/Ayush-RC-Accuracy

In quant too, this structured and strategic approach helped you get to Q50 in a predictable manner.

The journey to success is rarely linear but what is needed to succeed is to stay persistent and face the obstacles and not give up on one's dreams. And this is what you did – you knew you had the potential to score big and did not give up in the face personal or professional challenges or not-so-good GMAT scores.

Yes, there were hurdles and breaks – but you just came out stronger and the 760 is a testament to your hard work, determination and a never-say-die attitude. I am sure the score will give you a great fighting chance to get into your dream B-schools and wish you all the best for the upcoming applications and interviews.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
