It's a great platform to start a serious GMAT preparation. The way the concepts are taught and tested in a progressive manner creates a good learning curve to be able to solve real world GMAT questions at different levels. Especially for those who prefer a more logical approach to problem solving, the platform provides the entire decision making framework for each question to be able to learn more off of the questions on the platform. I primarily used it enhance my verbal skills, and the platform was helpful in building the foundation for the various skills tested in the test. In addition, the customer success taken up in the LMP program is great in the last phase of the journey as it helps in getting the right guidance for the target score.

I had scored 700 twice in the gmat, when I was enrolled with another test provider. My verbal section, especially CR, had taken a hit in both the attempts. My target score was 740. After my 2nd gmat attempt (at the end of September 2022), I decided to enroll in egmat’s online course. I had watched a couple of their free webinar sessions in youtube and was quite impressed with their methodology and their process. Having scored back to back 700 in the actual test, I was starting at a higher ability. Hence I was invited to join the LMP program, when I enrolled for the course. Rashmi was my mentor in the LMP program.
CR has been my weakest area in verbal ever since I started my gmat prep. Before joining egmat, I resorted to “brute practice” in which I solved a few hundred CR questions from gmatclub, hoping that I become good at CR through relentless practice. I never had a structure or methodology while solving CR questions at that time. As a result, I did not develop the necessary skillset required to solve CR questions in the actual test, under the time constraint. I ended up performing poorly in this subsection in both my previous gmat attempts(50 percentile on both occasions).
At the start of the LMP program, rashmi laid out the verbal plan which was very effective and which targeted my weak areas, notably CR. She emphasized the importance of prethinking while solving CR questions and to trust the process, even though it might take me a while to get accustomed to it. I started out by going through the concept videos, followed by the concept files and the application files. True to it’s name, the cementing quizzes helped me to cement the process in my mind. My accuracy in CR shot up gradually with time, as I began to subconsciously apply the prethinking framework.
Even though I was pretty good at sentence correction(SC), I decided to go through the SC module as well. The SC module has been well structured and is very detailed. Going through this module once again helped me to reinforce the concepts and the meaning-based-approach methodology, which in turn pushed my SC accuracy even higher.
The quant module is at par with the best in the market. The PACE engine pinpoints the weak areas and selectively makes one go through certain subsections/concept videos which reduces the preparation time to a great extent .I was very satisfied with the concept videos and the concept files and the application files. Overall, Quant 2.0 played a vital role in pushing my quant score from a q49 to a q50.
The quality of questions in the scholaranium is top notch. They are at par with the actual gmat questions, especially in verbal. For quants, the scholaranium questions are slightly more difficult than the questions in the actual test.
The Sigma-X mock tests are very accurate and representative of the actual gmat, in terms of the quality of questions and the adaptive nature of the test. The best part of the Sigma-X mock is the detailed analysis that follows after each mock test. I found the analysis chart to be quite similar to the ESR report from the actual test.
Last but not the least, the mentorship support has been excellent. Frankly, the LMP program has far exceeded my expectations. Rashmi has guided me brilliantly throughout the course of our tenure. Her quick turnaround time in responses and her precision planning targeted at my weak areas helped me to boost my score in both quant and verbal. She kept track of my progress and performance through the available data in the platform and suggested improvement plans accordingly. She intervened from time to time to ensure that I was on track with the set plan and provided moral support whenever I felt down and out after a poor quiz/mock performance.
Finally, I was able to hit my target score of 740(q50,v40) .
In the end, when you trust reliable data and take cues from it, the result shows.
Overall my experience with egmat has been fantastic and I would highly recommend their course to any diligent student out there.

I had gone through one online course earlier, but my verbal was stuck between 28-32 in the main GMAT exam and multiple mock attempts. I was unable to figure out exactly where I was going wrong. Then, on my friend's recommendation, I registered for Private Tutoring Session from Ms Sunita Sihghvi of GmatWhiz. She spotted the deficiencies in my process that were leading to wrong answers in all the 3 sections- SC, CR, and RC. Then, she would slowly refine the way I should read the sentences, break them down into smaller parts, and finally arrive at the correct central idea. My verbal improved to V40 (90th percentile) in the next attempt.

I opted for Experts Global GMAT Test Series and I can confidently say that they have the most realistic GMAT mock tests with a thorough analysis of the mocks. Starting with the strength/weakness on topics, separately for quants and verbal, to the time taken question and quarter wise. This helped me a lot to strategize and manage my time accordingly in the actual exam as well. I also got the chance to go through the GMAT shorts and surprisingly they are indeed the best content to revise and refer back to, whenever required. After giving the experts global mocks, when I started getting the consistent score, I went for the official GMAC mocks and then the actual GMAT test and scored the same. Thanks for making my GMAT journey easier @ExpertsGlobal

I scored 730 on my first attempt. It was E-GMAT who helped me in reaching my goals. I started my journey in September by buying my E-GMAT Course 360 for 4 months. Initially I could not dedicate much time to my preparations but in the later months I committed at least 10 hours a week. Being a medical intern in a government college, it was not easy to find time and analyze how to study. E-GMAT helped me a lot by preparing a personalized study plan for me. I started my journey with 620 on my sigma x mock. I set my targets and E-GMAT helped me create a dedicated timeline to create a timetable effectively dicing my time in required areas.
The quant section was beautifully divided and broken down into topics and sub topics. The initial diagnostic quizzes in each topic helped me save a lot of time by segregating topics I was weak at needed to study vs topics I was good at. These modules, followed by practice quizzes, helped me create strong concepts. The framework for various topics and approach to the questions has been effectively covered by E-GMAT course.
The verbal section had ample of application files and quizzes to help me understand the process to approach a question and help me arrive at correct solutions. Pre-Thinking, Meaning Based Analysis, Frameworks, among other tools, were strong weapons in my arsenal which helped me conquer my verbal fear.
The strategy of dividing the preparation in three stages to effectively create concepts, cement them and then achieve accuracy was the best part about the course. This strategy helped me create a strong foundation which enabled me to score 730 on the first attempt.
I improved especially in the verbal section, from scoring V26 to V39. The Xpert analysis of quizzes and the Sigma Mock was very insightful in helping me understand my weakness and improve my score. But the guidance from the E-GMAT mentors, especially Dhruv, helped me a lot during my preparation, without whom, I would have never reached my goal.
I highly recommend the E-GMAT course. It is very useful, whether you are starting the preparation from zero, or are looking for a score improvement. On starting, kindly go through all instructions on how to best effectively use the course and follow their instructions, even if you feel that you don’t need them. It is their experience which has enabled them in creating this course, and I have realized my dream of scoring 720+ (110 points improvement from initial score of 620) with them.

I used TTP to prepare for the GMAT and had an excellent experience doing so. The content they teach is very easy to understand and digest. I also really enjoy how their lessons are structured and tracked. It ‘gamifies’ the entire experience and makes it more enjoyable. The questions in their question bank were very similar to GMAT official questions. They have a detailed roadmap that alternates between Quant and Verbal lessons which I found really helpful (as opposed to tackling one section then the next). After 4 months of TTP, I ended up scoring 750 and getting into two out of the four M7 schools I applied to (R1 2022)!

Target Test Prep was as helpful a resource as I could have imagined and was definitely worth the investment. I enjoy learning on my own time and TTP made it extremely easy to do so, while taking the stress out of studying. You can be assured that by the end of the course, you will be as prepared as possible to take on the test! I was able to achieve my target score entirely thanks to this program. The instructors are also highly accessible and make the content enjoyable. I would definitely recommend TTP to anyone who wants to take the GMAT!

I want to thank e-GMAT for helping me to achieve a score of 740 on the GMAT exam.
Brief introduction:
A) Bachelors & Masters: India
B) Work experience: 10 years, Location: Japan, Role: project engineer
C) Sector: chemical, Industry: Electronics
D) Reason to pursue MBA: move to management and leadership role in the same sector
1st attempt
I gave my 1st attempt at the GMAT exam in Oct’21. My score was 610. I aimed to achieve around 720 as this score was around the average score of my target B-schools (1-year program in IIMs, ISB). I used officia1-year books for preparation. During the exam preparation, I found several verbal solutions posted by e-GMAT on the GMAT Club portal. The answers from e-GMAT were based on a structured approach and were easy to understand for a non-native English speaker like me. Therefore, I decided to enroll in the e-GMAT course.
e-GMAT course
I enrolled for GMAT online 360 course. This course covers Quant, Verbal, and IR. I chose this course because I did not want to spend my limited time searching resources for Quant.
2nd attempt
I gave my 2nd attempt at the end of Sep’22, and my score was 640.
Here I want to share critical information:
As I shared above, I have worked in the electronics industry for the last 12 months. I worked around six days per week and 14-15 hours per day. All the credit goes to the unanticipated surge in demand for semiconductors due to the COVID-19 pandemic circumstances. This work schedule only allowed me to study for around 45 minutes per day on working days and 2 hours per day on holidays. Therefore, I was able to give my 2nd attempt in Sept’22.
After scoring 640, I wrote to e-GMAT for their expert guidance. And from there, Rida Shafeek strategy expert, guided me to score 740.
3rd attempt (all thanks to Improvement Plan by Rida Shafeek, the e-GMAT strategy expert)
Based on my ESR report, she shared the improvement plan for all sections (one by one after I was able to clear the passing criterion) for each section:
A) RC
B) SC
C) CR
D) Quant
Even before completing Improvement Plan for Quant, I appeared for the e-GMAT exam, and the final score was 740 (more than my target score, I was so happy).
My strategy during the GMAT exam
Based on my experience of cementing quizzes, I realized that my mind needs some time to warm up. So, I attempted sections in the following order:
i) AWA
ii) IR
(AWA, IR: helped to warm up the mind)

iii) Quant

iv) Verbal
Advantages of the e-GMAT course
A) The course modules are designed carefully to build/improve the basic concepts. Please complete the course in an order prescribed by the e-GMAT team.
B) The structured methodology of e-GMAT helps build a process to approach every question. For the verbal section, I am confident that it is one of the best courses for non-native speakers (I am not sure about the grammatical accuracy of native speakers).
C) Cementing process (Medium, Hard level) helps to solidify the learning. Please complete these stages.
D) AI-based analytics by e-GMAT helps to analyze the areas of improvement. This tool is fantastic.
E) PACE engine helped me to save a lot of time on the quant section.
Finally, I want to share a couple of points.
A) Plan for the GMAT exam based on your work/academic commitment.
B) Consistency is key.
C) A higher score always helps to strengthen your chances in your target B school.
D) Do not compare your performance based on the success stories of other applicants. The capabilities and circumstances of each person are different.
All the best for preparation!!!

There are four things that I loved about the whole process:
1. Comprehensive and structured course
2. The emphasis on meaning & Pre-thinking Approach
3. Personalised support for strategic performance analysis and planning
4. The accuracy of the mocks

I decided to attempt the free mock by e-gmat in July'22.
I got a 560, which was quite discouraging. However, as part of their process, the e-gmat team asked me to get on a call with them and encouraged me to give it a go. Moreover, considering that I had attempted this mock without any preparation, it seemed like I could achieve a better score with some practice and concept revision. So after returning from a work related trip, I enrolled to the course in September'22.

Over the next two months I studied 2-3 hrs a day and completed the video lectures and the practice & cementing quizes, which btw are well structured to give a holistic exposure of certain topics, build process skills, and practice varied question types.
Then around October-end I decided to give my first mock and got a 640. Seeing the improvement of 80 points, I felt there is a good chance that with more practice I could get 700+. However I lacked direction of what approach to take. I was confident about my quant yet was unable to cross 48, and in verbal I was having difficulty crossing even 30.

At this point I remembered that in the early lectures a 3-step approach had been mentioned.
1. Concept & practice,
2. Cementing, and
3. Test readiness.
Since I was done with 1 & 2, I emailed the support team and asked about the 'stage 3' process. This is when I started interacting with Dhruv, who did an in-depth analysis of my performance so far and gave me a step-by-step personalised plan to improve. He also helped me whenever I faced a blocker and encouraged me every step of the way.

Finally as the January application deadlines approached, I gave another mock scoring a 700 and rushed to book a GMAT slot. Dhruv supported my decision with some last minute steps to improve, which led to the official score of 720 (Q49, V40).

I'm grateful for all the support, and really recommend all GMAT aspirants to consider the e-gmat course.

I recommend the site because it is very organized and complete. I think that it is important to follow the schedule and to have time to prepare for GMAT. Personally speaking, I first read all the chapters and then I did the exercises. I also did 1 GMAT mock up test per week the last 3 weeks before the real GMAT.
I also used the personal test that everybody can take at the site. It is interesting because people can design their own tests based on their weaknesses. Here, I selected all hard tests to practice on more difficult exercises. It is important though to do that after you master the easy and medium exercises.
