Started off my journey with e-GMAT with a score plateau of 650 in 3 attempts, I was skeptical of buying another course. But to my surprise, the course exceeded my expectations in terms of not only the structure and content of the course but also the mocks that were quite comparable to the actual GMAT and the on-prompt mentorship provided which helped me in analyzing further the data points to pinpoint the gaps in my preparation.

The course is well-designed, well-structured, and quite intuitive. It makes online learning easier. With the Practice Quiz and Application Quiz between the modules, I was able to retrieve many of the concepts taught and solidify them during the Cementing Quizzes. This helped me to build the foundation of one section before moving to the next one.

The analysis provided is good enough to understand your gaps and corrective measures to be decided. This is where error logs would help.

The Sigma-X mocks were quite analogous to the actual GMAT. Since I scored twice the same score in the actual GMAT that I got in the e-GMAT Sigma-X mock taken previously.

Lastly, when my course was over, I was blank on what to do next. At that point my mentors (special mention to Abha and Richa) weighed in on the exact gaps in my preparation and how can I improve upon them. They provided regular plans to up my game and help me the target they anticipated.

Overall, my journey was a short but promising one.

Overcoming a score plateau is never an easy task but the sheer diligence and grit that you have shown to get to this point is truly inspirational.

Considering the limited time you had in hand, you put in the right efforts to build a strong foundation by learning the concepts and applications and then mastering each of the sub-sections by cementing them. Look at the image below to see how your strong conceptual understating in Verbal, translated into exceptional accuracy in hard-level questions.

Instructor Abhishek Raj

After studying by myself for almost a year, I did not see any improvements on my verbal score. Luckily, I started to take tutoring session with Abhishek who patiently identified my gaps and walk me through the right strategy to solve each type of verbal questions. He was able to make me conscious about my errors and encourage me to practice in a methodic way – not quantity, but quality. When I got my first score 620 (Q44, V31), Abhishek was very supportive and made me believe a 700+ was on my reach. I truly felt he was there for me, and I am sure that I would not get my 710 (Q50, V37) without his help. The GMAT preparation is for many a long road that test your resilience. You need the right resources but most importantly you need a supportive team that will cheer for you especially when you want to give up. Abhishek was to me more than a teacher, he not only provided me with key tools for the exam but also lifted me up in numerous occasions. To anybody out there looking for a verbal tutor, I highly recommend you to get in touch with Abhishek.

Hi mariagmoreno,

Congratulations on your wonderful score!

This is Abhishek from e-GMAT.

A 90-point improvement is highly commendable, the sheer determination you have shown to get to this point is phenomenal.

Being a non-native speaker of English is considered by many one of the biggest impediments to scoring high on the GMAT. The low initial scores and the slow learning curve can be extremely frustrating. However, you kept your eyes on the prize and didn’t give up. I am so glad I could be a part of your journey to an impressive 710 after months of dedicated hard work.
For instance, your diligence in imbibing the right processes and skills can be seen in how you have improved from 25% accuracy to 65% (80th percentile) accuracy in hard-level SC questions.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/mariagmoreno-SC-improvement-to-80th-percentile

I also fondly remember our sessions together cracking the codes to CR questions or demystifying tough RC passages. From deciphering idioms to deriving implications, each session was a learning experience, not just for you but for me as well. Your journey shall serve as an inspiration to countless others who have their eyes set on the GMAT.

At last, I just want to say that it was a pleasure working with you and that I am so proud of the work you have put into this journey.    

All the best for the next steps!

Amazing experience with GMATWhiz

I was studying on and off for my GMAT before GMATWhiz for overall almost 7 months and 3 months of proper preparations with the Magoosh yearly plan and I scored 680 is my first attempt. Even though I scored 51 in Quant there was a huge amount of work needed to be done on Verbal side.

In order to cover that gap I started with GMATWhiz in early September' 22 with the aim to write GMAT by end of October'22. After 15 days into the course when I could realize the tips and tricks which I was unaware during my first attempt which definitely helped me in building up the accuracy firstly. I realized that how necessary it is to prepare for verbal if you are a non native speaker. Slowly once the accuracy was achieved we started to optimize on the time aspects.

After every connect with Saquib I used to be amazed at how clear guidance and detailed plan he used to provide. Preparing under tight deadlines was at time overwhelming, but the always calm and composed attitude of Saquib was always reassuring, it's just the kind of a confidence he showed. It helped me a lot to maintain the momentum during my preparation.

Overall it has a quite satisfactory experience as I achieved a final score of 730 in my second attempt in Nov' 2022. I'll highly recommend anyone who is looking for GMAT preparation.

The course gives you a real time analysis on where you stand when you take its first Sigma X mock test. I feel the verbal is a little easier than actual on the Sigma X mock tests but quants are tougher. Once you get that analysis, a timeline for preparation will be given to you in accordance with your needs that is really accurate. You just need to trust it and follow the timeline without missing a single day if you are on a tight schedule. I prepared for 2 months. I started with a score of 560 and reached 730 (Q49, V41). I could have done way bettwe even if I had 1 or 2 weeks more time on my hands. Their quant section teaches you all the concepts from basics and focuses on building a strong foundation rather than shortcuts. However, you can also check out their forums where multiple students have given various methods of solving problems, if your foundations are strong, you will be able to figure out the logic behind shortcuts as well. They will feed you so many questions during learning itself for both verbal and quants, that you will automatically start feeling confident. The verbal section gives you a variety of used cases and also talks about exceptions.
They have a mentorship proramme (if you are serious) and they chalk out your plan for the last few days before your test. This really gave my preparation a structure and helped me in revising concepts that I was lacking on. Their mentors are really helpful - Rashmi Vaidya guided me in my last few days of prep and helped me through this process smoothly.

Dear Tejash98,

Congratulations on the 730! Achieving a 170-point improvement in 2 months is highly impressive😊

I am glad that you started the right way – by taking the Sigma-X mock to assess your starting abilities and creating a Personalised Study Plan to structure your preparation.

I appreciate that you invested substantial time in building your foundation – both in verbal and quants. See how the time that you spent on building a rock-solid foundation helped you improve your accuracy for hard questions in NP to 67% (85th percentile):

I am glad that the practice questions during the learning stage helped you improve your confidence. Kudos to you for having taken this confidence to the next level by mastering the applications by practicing on GMAT-like questions during cementing. See how this structured approach helped you improve to 90th percentile ability across all the topics in Sentence Correction:

Thank you for your suggestion on the weekly sessions, but we try to keep it inclusive since we want everyone to benefit from these sessions. For our students, we have internal forums which you have used during the preparation, that one can leverage for any subject matter-related query. Also, we have a lot more such sessions in the pipeline and we shall keep your recommendation under consideration.

Tejash98, it was a pleasure mentoring you in the last days of your preparation and I am sure you will excel in any of the B-schools that you get into.

Wish you all the best,

TTP helped me make significant progress in both the quant and verbal sections and prepare me in the best possible way for the GMAT. Furthermore, the adaptive study plan helped me to create a structured study plan and thus make the best use of my time. All relevant topics of the GMAT are clearly presented and conclusively explained. In addition, you have access to a large number of questions that you can use for practice. Sample tests can be created from the questions, which can be used to address specific weaknesses. There is also an error log, so that all errors can be reviewed in detail.

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

eGMAT verbal course is really good for aspirants who are struggling with score improvement. I was stuck at the V27-V32 range before I came across eGMAT.

Critical reasoning and sentence correction sections of eGMAT are one of a kind. Having used multiple sources, I can say that eGMAT has all the important content that is just required to achieve a high target score.
Pre-thinking concept comes in very handy in the exam, but one needs to practice extensively to improve the timing before the exam. It greatly improved my accuracy and time/question initially. But eventually, things become second nature and one can easily see the time/question going down.

Sentence correction course will be an eye-opener to many as it highlights a lot of exemptions to the grammar rules which are applicable to the GMAT. eGMATs forum support has been amazing in giving prompt and in-depth analysis for any queries posted.

RC course is well-made for the ones that get stuck between 2 close options. eGMATs RC process will give students enormous clarity in answer choice analysis. This works wonders for people who can apply the process well but miss out on marking the correct choice. Identifying the type of incorrect answers for each and every practice question kind of drills down the concepts into you before you realise. So I think using the video course to the maximum potential will massively help you improve your score.

eGMAT saves the hard work and a lot of time for aspirants who spend time self studying and searching online for free resources. eGMAT's study plan, swift forum, mentors who communicate with you promptly can be of real help to the students. These were the factors that were critical in my score improvement from V27 to V38.

All the best.

Dear Jayadeepan,

Congratulations on the tremendous 120-point improvement to 710 – a success made all the sweeter with a 11-point verbal improvement to V38.

I am glad that you followed a structured diligent approach to building your verbal ability.

You understood the importance of pre-thinking in solving CR questions and extensively practiced such that it became second nature to you. See how this focussed approach helped you improve to 75% accuracy in CR and reduced the time to 1 min 36 seconds:

CR accuracy vs timing: https://success.e-gmat.com/Jayadeepans-CR-accuracy-vs-timing

In SC, you followed a similar structured approach and leveraged the internal forums to clarify any subject-matter-related query to internalize the meaning-based approach. I am really glad to see that this helped you improve to a 90th percentile ability in SC.

90 percentile ability in SC: https://success.e-gmat.com/Jayadeepans-90-percentile-ability-in-SC

Jayadeepan, I must commend how determined you were to succeed and left no stone unturned. You leveraged all the features available to you – study plan, mentorship, internal forums and this helped you improve by a massive 120 points in your final GMAT.

The grit and determination you have shown towards your preparations, I am sure you will have great success in each of your future endeavours.

All the best and Best Regards,

730 After 3 Weeks of Intense Practice

I gave my first GMAT attempt back in August'22, but due to a network issue in the test centre (Ansal University) my test got ruined and I couldn't reschedule it as I had to leave for college the next day. Although I was pretty devastated about it, the moment I reached home I made up my mind to give another attempt in my winter vacations. During my self-preparation I had seen the content of most of the test-prep companies and due to the short time available to me, I felt that e-gmat would be the perfect fit for me as they were known for their personalised study plan.

During the three weeks of my GMAT preparation, I was enrolled in the LMP Program by Abha Ma'am. She gave me a detailed study plan and I was in constant contact with her throughout. I followed the plan diligently and kept on getting regular feedback about my performance.

Quant: I would like to give a special mention to the cementing quizzes on the e-gmat platform. These quizzes have a selected set of questions, which are made to exploit the holes in your learning. I found these especially helpful for quant because even though I had a strong foundation in all the topics, these quizzes pointed out exactly where I need to pay attention.

RC: The effective reading strategies are really a blessing and improved my RC ability significantly. I could notice the difference in the results after I followed each step systematically.

SC and CR: The famous meaning based approach works wonderfully and should be carefully followed for it to work its magic.

Overall, e-gmat offers great structured, quality content that is more than enough for your GMAT preparation. Greatly thankful to Abha Ma'am for her insights throughout my preparation and would recommend anyone who is willing to put in serious efforts to choose e-gmat.

Hi Anirudh18,

Congratulations on the 730!!

This is Abha from e-GMAT. It was a pleasure working with you in the Last Mile Push program.

Achieving a 50-point improvement in just 3 weeks is a Herculean task, but it was only possible because of your determination and diligence.

I am glad to know that the cementing stage helped you identify the weak areas so that you could work on them which in turn translated into exceptional stats across Quant sub-sections. Here is an image where you can be seen excelling at hard questions in across Quants sub-sections.

Image Link: https://resources.e-gmat.com/Anirudh18-Quant-stats-predicted-Q51

In Verbal, you created a strong foundation by completing the concept and application files and built your skills by solving GMAT-like questions on Scholaranium. You truly immersed yourself in the reading strategies and this helped improve your accuracy to 76% and reduced your time to 1 min 24 sec per question in RC.

Image Link: https://resources.e-gmat.com/Anirudh18-RC-scores-improved-to-80th-percentile

I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, would like to wish you all the very best in your future endeavours. I am sure any program would be enriched to have a diligent student like you as part of its cohort.

I found e-gmat's course for the GMAT to be incredibly valuable. The course content covered all the necessary topics for the test including Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Quant. The methods taught, such as the meaning-based approach, Prethinking and reading strategies, were particularly helpful in getting me more confident about the right answer, especially for the hard questions. The quality of the questions, mocks and analytics on the platform were also impressive. The mentorship support was also very helpful, the mentors were always available to answer any questions I had. The Last Mile Push program was a great addition to the course, it helped me to focus on my weaknesses and improve my score. Overall, I highly recommend e-gmat to anyone preparing for the GMAT.

Dear nisarg39,

Congratulations on a massive 150-point improvement from 560 to 710. It takes a lot of grit, determination, and focus to improve by such a tremendous margin, and kudos to you for having achieved that.

I commend you on how with a single-minded focus, you set about building your ability. In CR, by investing the time to build a rock-solid foundation, you were able to build tackle hard questions with ease. See how the time that you spent learning the pre-thinking approach helped you improve to a 74% accuracy in Assumptions:

Accuracy in CR - https://success.e-gmat.com/nisarg39s-accuracy-in-assumptions

I am glad that you leveraged the analytics on the platform to identify and work on your weak areas. See how this iterative feedback-driven approach helped you improve your accuracy for both medium and hard questions in Algebra:

Medium and hard accuracy in Algebra: https://success.e-gmat.com/medium-and-hard-accuracy-in-Algebra

Your feedback regarding SC timing is taken. That said, cementing which is an integral part of the preparation is a step that does exactly that – it helps build your ability by working on GMAT-like questions under timed conditions. This helps you reduce the time and improve your accuracy.

nisarg39, it has been a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best for your applications and interviews.

Course GMATWhiz GMAT Prep

Location Online

I had invested more than a year of effort and two average attempts at GMAT before I discovered the GMATWhiz course.I honestly wish I had discovered the course sooner. The programme helped me realise where I was going wrong and what steps I needed to take to bridge gaps and improve my skills.

I strongly recommend this programme to everyone because it is designed to provide the benefits of both a self-paced programme and an in-person class room programme. Prior to GMATWhiz, I often felt uncertain of my abilities. But at GMATWhiz, it's all science, and there's nowhere to hide. The AI algorithm charts your plan and assigns you weekly responsibilities, the Whiz creates quizzes based on your strengths and weaknesses, and the dashboard keeps track of your progress. The team is prompt and thorough in responding to questions on the forum. All of this helps intelligently prepare for the exam and save on time and effort. I also benefitted greatly from check-ins with my mentor, who helped me realign and hone my skills.

Before GmatWhiz, I would usually lose track at the end of practice tests. I would focus too much on one topic and end up compromising on the others. It was an unending circle. However, at GMATWhiz the approach to practice tests is super efficient. First of all the GMATWhiz practice test, unlike other providers on the market, uses a similar algorithm to the original practise tests. The AI analyses your performance at the end of each test, charts recommendations in the form of videos to watch and exercises to practise, and provides an estimate of your score improvement if you follow the plan. They also feature an accurate score predictor that considers your performance throughout the course. My gmat scores matched the ones predicted on the platform.

The scientific approach to studying, end to end guidance and the quality of content is what truly sets this course apart from other players in the market. I am super happy with my experience and have continued with the team to take on admission consulting services.

Scored 740 - Best GMAT course

Here's my GMAT journey :
I decided to go with GMAT exam in 2019. Since I already prepared for CAT in India, I thought I won't need any new coaching. So I bought the official guide and advanced guide. watched few youtube videos on Sentence correction rules. I was fairly confident after solving the official guides so went with official mocks. As far as I remember, below are the scores.
Official mock 1 - 730
Official mock 2 - 700
Official mock 3 - 710
Official mock 4 - 720
These scores were right in my target range and these were official mocks, that too 4 of them. What confirmation else do I need? "This is most accurate prediction of what my actual score on GMAT might be" I thought. Boy was I so wrong.
I gave my first official GMAT attempt in December 2019.
After the exam, the score popped up - a 650. This was devastating. This is not even close to my official mocks.
I was dissapointed. But I had only close to 2 years of experience and I knew that average work experience in US MBA colleges is around 5 years. So I knew I have time.

I kept preparing from other sources that I could find for next 1.5 years. But this was not a serious preparation, not even close. Fast forward to October 2021. I decided to ramp up my GMAT preparation as I have almost 4 years of work ex in next 4 months. I watched few youtube free sessions and e-GMAT caught my attention.
Why?? Because they had a super power. They read my mind. After the great GMAT debacle of 2019, I went into retrospection mode. And in my retrospection, all strategies and concepts that I realized were cause for my low score, were specifically mentioned by e-GMAT also to be major causes for lower scores of candidates in the GMAT. They also kept giving importance to 'No shortcuts to success in GMAT' mantra.
So I signed up and looked at the free modules and realised that this might be the course that I needed. I purchased the course in January 2022.
I blindly followed their module because, as I mentioned earlier, they were reading my mind. For every time some skepticism popped up in my mind be it about my ability or whenever I felt like I don't have it in me to succeed in GMAT, they already had a video debrief on youtube with candidates who went exactly through what I was going but still got a great GMAT score. This boosted my confidence that it is not just me - everybody feels the same - If they could do it - I can too. So I kept going with the modules, cemeneting quizzes, test readiness quizzes and finally the mocks.
The mocks are the most important of all as they even showed how the scored progressed with every question/block that I attempted. This helped me with coming with my own startegy that suits my personal style. 1 week before the GMAT official exam, Payal Tandon reached out to me saying that they observed inactivity on my account and asked me if there were any change of plans. I told that I have my GMAT exam in next 5 days. They immediately assigned me a mentor under Last Mile Program. Unfortunately I had only 3 more days to do what the suggested based on my weak areas. Yet they made a plan and scheduled video call sessions to help in with the last leg.
D-Day, I gave my exam on June 30th 2022 (offline centre exam) and it was 700.

Then I joined the ELP program to get feedback from mentors and followed their advice.
I gave my 3rd attempt after 2 months from my second attempt and the score 740 flashed on my screen.

Thanks to e-GMAT for their well-structured course and for not selling 'tricks to ace GMAT' just to onboard as many students as they can.
Special thanks to Rida Shafeek for taking time and mentoring me in the last days of my exam.

For anyone trying to decide which online course to go for, I will 100% recommend e-GMAT.
