Before GMATwhiz i tried preparing on my own and then through another renowned aggregator but the GmatWhiz approach synced very well with me. On my first ever official GMAT exam, which was online, i scored a mere 610 and then while being tutored through the previous course a 630 . After much scrutiny i enrolled with GmatWhiz in dec 2022 for a 4 month program. The detail of the course and their approach very will synced with my way of thinking. Their approach to each segment in VA is very easy to understand and inculcate. They have practice quiz after each concept lesson that helps to build an even stronger hold of the concept. In QA they have a well curated course with emphasis on important topics. Their video lessons do justice to the syllabus. Their quiz section- WhizQuiz is very well made. You can choose among different combinations of difficulty and topics to practice from. Their mock analysis is very detailed. After each mock they tell you a topic wise accuracy and what areas need to be worked upon. Overall their question bank has a good quality with VA a bit on the higher difficulty level. I was very impressed by their mentorship. Satyam, who was assigned to me, took a regular update about my course and guided me throughout the preparation. A big thank you to him. At the end i was able to score a 700( Q49 V35) . I'm very much grateful to GmatWhiz for their support.

My journey with GMAT has been far too long, and it is still going on. E-Gmat did help me get a score improvement of 40 points over my previous best score. If one would fully dedicate oneself to the methodology, chances are high that you would get to the target score. However, I was not able to and the blame is on me.
Below is my honest review about the course.
In the verbal concept building phase, the questions discussed are too easy. There is a sudden increase in difficulty and complexity when you start with practice. The answer explanation is not upto the mark and I had to refer to gmatclub discussion many a times. For any particular question, there is an entire discussion thread that one must sift through to check whether anyone else had the same confusion as you did. If yes, great! If no, then you ask the question and wait for an unsatisfactory answer. (Exception: Answers by Harshendra are great!) The discussion thread contains a lot of stale answers as well. So, beware of going through an inaccurate explanation.
In quant section, there is no complaint.
Overall, the course did help me develop my basics. I have a better grip on the individual concepts. I faltered in the application phase, but that's my issue. Maybe it will work out nicely for you. All the best!
Overall I would recommend this product especially for someone looking for major improvement in Verbal. They have excellent content on Sentence Correction and RC.
The Quant content is also good but I was not very happy with Quant questions and curriculum because I found some of them not to be of GMAT type and I have given GMAT 6 times so I have a sense of the type of questions. Their support team is excellent and responsive. Their Mocks are very good and are a close approximate of the real GMAT.
Overall, a good option considering the price, quality of content and support.
Hey Karan0912,
Thank you for posting your review!
This is your mentor, Rida, I really admire your perseverance. Truly, the efforts that you have put into acing the GMAT test are very admirable. I can see that for RC, you took the effort to perfect a methodology that would enable you to achieve repeated success. Your improvement to 83% accuracy is testament to the same.

I am glad that you also enjoyed the SC and Quant courses, and that you were able to replicate the test environment through our mocks.
Thank you for your feedback on the course. This enables us to create better content to help all our students achieve success. I just wanted to let you know that our questions on the platform are modelled after OG questions and go through rigorous testing before being made live to our users. All of our questions test the skills and concepts you need to ace the GMAT.
All the best for your next steps!
Regards,
Rida Shafeek
The entire course is well-structured, easy to follow, and provides enough questions to learn, practice and strengthen the fundamentals. Finally the course provides 5 Mock tests which help assess our preparation and take corrective measures on time. In the process of learning, primarily I developed a new skill-set, whereas a score of 700 became a fruitful byproduct.
It is worthwhile to invest in the course provided by EGMAT. In my opinion, if we solve the material provided by egmat in the time allotted, we won't need any more material to pass the GMAT with a good score. They provide very extensive and clear answers to each practice question, thus the material becomes adequate for cementing the concepts and practicing them.
Hi Rajgupta95
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 700 score!
Achieving a 160-point increase in total score, along with a noteworthy 19-point enhancement in the Verbal section (from V18 to V37), is a significant achievement that deserves to be celebrated widely.
Your success has been driven by your unwavering determination and resilience that you demonstrated throughout your journey.
You exhibited impressive proficiency in both learning and applying the necessary process skills, leading to a remarkable improvement in your Verbal score from a V18 (17th Percentile) to a V37 (84th Percentile)
The attached image is a testament to your remarkable progress.

Hi,
I took the GMAT course from the e-gmat and improved my score by 160 points. The course is very interactive and self-paced. As a working professional, It is very easy for me to grasp concepts in this interactive course. In addition, each section in the course has different modules/concepts and hence it helps us better understand our weaknesses and focus on correcting our mistakes.
The methods learned in this course especially in verbal helps you to solve questions even in a stressed environment as in the test center. The pre-thinking approach and the meaning based approach in verbal helped me a lot to improve my verbal score. The mocks in this course very much stimulate the actual GMAT mocks . In fact, they are a bit tougher when compared to actual GMAT. One can expect to score a greater than or equal to the score we got in e-gmat mocks.
The one thing that worked very well for me other than the course is the mentorship programme. GMAT is not just a test of concepts but it’s also a test of resilience, consistency and calmness. We might get a good score over the mocks but screw up our actual exam if we do not maintain our calmness. My mentor, Rashmi, from e-gmat provided me with the much needed confidence and boost along with detailed study plan throughout my journey keeping in view of my weakness and strengths. Thanks a lot to the e-gmat team, especially Rashmi, for being there throughout the journey.
Dear mounica12,
Congratulations on your 700😊! A 160-point improvement is no mean feat, and it has been my pleasure working with you in this journey.
As you have rightly said - “GMAT is not just a test of concepts but it’s also a test of resilience, consistency and calmness.” I am glad that you displayed all these characteristics in this journey to your target score.
Since you were starting out at a lower ability in both verbal and quant, you set about building your ability from the foundation up by learning concepts and applications and then practicing then on GMAT-like questions in cementing.
This image shows how the near-perfect scores in SC foundational concepts helped you improve to a 65%+ accuracy across all blocks:

In CR too, you were able to improve to a 76% accuracy while reducing the overall time by working on your areas of weakness and internalizing the pre-thinking approach. This image charts the improvement in accuracy the Assumptions block in CR against the reduction in the overall time:
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Mounica-Assumptions-Accuracy-vs-Timing
In GMAT preparation, the means to predict your ability and outcome is a great asset. I am really happy that the SIGma-X mocks enabled you to predict your outcome enabling you to take the right steps toward your success.
There are always ups and downs in any journey and I am glad that you never gave up despite the downs and with the “resilience, consistency and calm” were able to overcome this and get to your dream score😊 I am sure these qualities that you have displayed during your preparation will help you succeed in your future endeavours too.
I, on behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, wish you all the very best.
Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
Very well organised material with tons of practice questions and very well explained methods of solving for quant.
For verbal, the theory is very well explained and examples are useful. Incredible resource.
I went through the official guide for 2 months and got 650 on a mock. After 2 months of TTP, I got 770 on my mock and 750 on my actual exam on the first try.
TTP made me feel so confident in my quant skills that I wasn’t even doubting a 750 going into the exam. Cannot recommend TTP more. Im super duper thankful for this resource. I def would’ve struggled to even touch 700 if not for it, as a fashion designer who haven’t done math in 7 years.
I enjoyed my time with the E-gmat. I opted for a 2-month course with a one-month extension. I initially gave my gmat with 2-month prep and scored 700. Before this, I did not take any coaching from any other platform and stuck to GMAT club practice questions for practice and Manhattan for the concept. I scored a 700 with this and decided to opt for a re-test along with an e-gmat subscription.
This decision proved helpful. In the verbal section, I could gauge my improvement and keep tabs on the concepts I was faltering in. Their mentorship program also helped me identify key areas where I was lacking, on which I diligently worked. I was especially fumbling in CR initially, but the structure-driven approach helped bolster the concept for me.
their difficulty Quant coursework is a notch higher in difficulty when compared to the GMAT, which makes the Quant section a breeze in the actual exam.
their mocks too are an apt representation of the level of questions one will face in the actual gmst and they help in the process of preparation for the same. I was scoring around 730 in their Mocks and was quite happy with myself. But in the actual exam, I got 710 (owing to some personal issues I was going through on my end)
Overall, I am quite happy with the E-gmat coursework and its mentorship program. They make sure one is comfortable with the process and ensure that every need of the student is met in a timely manner. The mentors work with you towards your dream score and assist you in every possible way
Dear nonomoneysingh,
Congratulations on GMAT 710!!
This is Akash, your mentor. It has been a pleasure to work with you on this GMAT journey.
You put in all the hard work and effort needed to get to a great GMAT score. Using the tools at hand – the course, the data from Scholaranium, and the guidance from mentors, you worked on improving on your weak areas and also going from good to great. One example of the same is in CR, where you were able to reach 80% accuracy as seen below.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/nonomoneysingh-Verbal-Improvement
I am also really happy to see that PACE helped you save time in your quant prep. In the foundational module alone, you were able to save over 60% of the estimated course time.

By achieving excellence on our Quant course, a GMAT Q50 on the test day was a cakewalk for you.
Thank you for your feedback about the course.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you as you undertook this GMAT journey. I am sure your data-driven mindset and hardworking attitude will be great assets in your MBA journey.
All the best!
Akash Aggarwal
My overall experience with e-GMAT has been really pleasant. Their study plan and methods are really effective. I started my preparation with a score of 540. My basics were really weak but e-GMAT helped me build those basics and helped me improve. I could see a tremendous within the first 15 days. The strategies taught really helped. Even the questions bank is really extensive and has a wide variety of questions that gives you an ample set to identify the faltering points and improve.
I had a phobia for RC but the reading strategies really helped overcome it and improve my accuracy. Pre-thinking and falsification techniques in CR are also very crucial and helps a lot in eliminating wrong answer choices.
Special shoutout to Akash, one of the strategy experts at e-GMAT. He helped in creating an effective personalized study plan. His constant support and help was extremely crucial in planning the entire journey and was pivotal in making the right decisions at the right time. He really went out of his way to help me out and made every effort to make sure I score well.
I highly recommend e-GMAT to GMAT aspirants. The team really focuses on providing the best practices and plan tailored to every student. They also help you with additional content and lectures to help you clear concepts and make sure you learn and apply the concepts in the easiest way possible.
Dear pritishgupta09,
Congratulations on your score of 690 with a Q49 and a V34! A 150-point improvement overall and a 15-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.
It was because of your diligence that you could see the results within the first 15 days. The below image shows how you didn’t leave any stone unturned as you went through all the modules for CR to cover your basics with good average scores in the concept and practice quizzes –

You were always willing to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve in Verbal. The image below shows how you used the Scholaranium analytics to understand that Humanities passages were your weaker area in RC and then how you improved your accuracy in it from 61% to 100% by practicing the reading exercises on a regular basis –
Image Link – https://success.e-gmat.com/pritishgupta09-RC-Improvement-Through-Analytics
You put in this effort in all the subsections in Verbal. Through your consistent efforts in Verbal, you improved by 15 points to get to V34.
We appreciate your feedback on the number of hard questions in the Scholaranium and we strive to put forward the best experience for you and we take every suggestion as an opportunity to improve further.
You have greater heights to mount, and I am sure that you can overcome any challenge that you may face with the same grit and determination that you have shown during the preparation.
All the very best for your next steps!

I enrolled with E-GMAT in November 2022 after my 4th GMAT attempt. I had scored a 620 in my 4th attempt and was extremely disheartened as the score was not representative of all the hard work I had put in over the past few months. Quite frustrated with the whole situation, I took the first e-gmat sigma mock 2 days after my 4th attempt and scored a 690. I had heard from my friends that e-gmat sigma mocks are a reliable predictor of your current gmat ability. After seeing the 690 score, I quickly signed up for the e-gmat online 360 (which includes both verbal and quant prep) and was amazed at the brilliance of questions and their solutions. Since I had already solved a lot of OG questions, I felt that the Scholaranium questions truly match up to the level of OG questions. After working for about a month on the egmat course, I reached out to their support team for enrollment to the LMP program. Since LMP is an invite only program and is offered to only few students, I was pleasantly surprised when Rida Shafeek responded to my request. Rida analysed my previous ESRs in detail and was ready to enroll me under her mentorship. She chalked out a comprehensive improvement plan based on my strengths and weaknesses, recommended some amazing test taking strategies and helped me push my score from 620 to 710 (Q49 V38 IR8). Thank you Rida for always being there and offering such valuable insights. Without your help I would have never crossed the 700+ score in GMAT. Thank you to the whole e-gmat team for dedicating all your efforts towards helping candidates.
Dear nirupandey80,
CONGRATS on GMAT 710!! This is Rida, your mentor.
I know that from day one, you were in it to win it. Through all the highs and lows of GMAT prep, you were determined to reach the peak, no matter what.
Looking at your stats, it's clear that you spent time and effort to reach excellence. You used the data from Scholaranium to target and eliminate any weak areas. In SC, as we can see below, you were able to improve your accuracy to 100% -
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/nirupandey80-Parallelism-Improvement
You carried this diligence and dedication to perfection through all Verbal prep. This led to you having amazing accuracy on individual subsections, as we can see below.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/nirupandey80-Verbal-Schol
However, the biggest milestone to cross was test readiness - combining your knowledge of all three verbal subsections to then tackle the 36-question GMAT Verbal section. I am glad that the tips and guidance we could provide helped you ace the GMAT on D-Day.
Overall, I know that your drive and determination are going to help you achieve new heights in your MBA journey as well. All the best for your next steps!!
Regards,
Rida Shafeek

The GMAT for me was easily the most daunting part of my application. After tons of hours spent researching and contacting seniors and friends who had given the GMAT, I purchased the e-GMAT online 360 course to assist me in my prep, and I was not disappointed. The verbal course is truly outstanding and gives you a fantastic framework to analyze and break down the questions to their bare bones, which enables you to eliminate the incorrect answer choices efficiently and confidently. Using their iron-clad process, I was able to boost my verbal score to a V38 (first time I ever prepared for or attempted the GMAT). The quant course is not talked about enough in my opinion, and is comprehensive in helping you master every single topic you would ever be tested on the GMAT. I achieved a Q50 on my first try thanks to the course.
However, more than the materials, I feel the place where e-GMAT truly shines is structuring your study plans and giving you an idea about where you stand along each step of the journey. The portal along with their extremely helpful support staff ensures you are following a consistent plan towards improvement, and if you clear the thresholds the portal asks from you, you are ready to shoot for a super elite score. Highly recommend the course to everyone.
Dear MehulSingla,
Congratulations on your score of 730 with a remarkable Q50 and a V38! Becoming a part of the top 4 percent of all the GMAT test takers is a commendable accomplishment.
Scoring a V38 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 and then you used the customization feature to do target practice on those weaker areas. The image below shows your statistics across three subsections in Verbal in hard questions.

It was because of your commitment that you improved not just in Verbal, but also in Quant. You maintained your consistency throughout, understood your weaknesses, and worked relentlessly on them. The image below shows your phenomenal stats in Quant hard-level questions across all subsections –

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!

Dear rishav009,
Congratulations on your 690 and thank you for your feedback about the course.
I am really happy that the course helped you build your basics and the processes that you learned helped you improve by 6 points in verbal from your starting score of V28 in the first mock.
The effort that you spent in learning your basics and building your ability from foundation up is clearly visible in this image that shows near perfect practice quiz scores in SC:
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/rishav009-SC-Quiz-Scores
In quants too, you left no stone unturned to solidify your foundation and I am sure given a bit more time, you would have reached your target score, which I know for sure you will do on your next attempt.
Thank you for your feedback about the forum support – I will pass on the message to Harsha that you really appreciated his responses. We are always striving to improve ourselves and meet the diverse needs of our students and your input help us in this endeavour.
That said, the questions that we use for concept-building are in the easy – medium range and it is intentional as you need this level of questions to solidify your concepts and practice with these will make you adept at solving medium and hard questions.
Thank you again for your input, and we wish you success in your studies. Please reach out to us for any assistance for your reattempt journey and we shall work together to achieve your dream GMAT score.
Best Regards,
Rida Shafeek
