e-GMAT's Review

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

An online educational platform is deemed a great one if its content, user interface, and adaptability can help students conquer their goals in a structured yet fluidic manner.

This is where e-GMAT surpassed my expectations.

To begin with, I’ll break the GMAT exam into its two major components –
1. Verbal Section
2. Quant Section

The Verbal Section – e-GMAT’s methodology to ace the SC section involves comprehending the meaning of the sentences followed by applying the correct grammatical rules. This technique, made simpler with the plethora of GMAT-styled questions, helped me reach 90%+ accuracy. The entire SC module has been deconstructed into shorter videos, which, when followed in chronological order, help summarize every nuance within this section. The SC module is then followed by the CR modules, in which specialized techniques such as the pre-thinking approach, variance test, ABC tests et. al. help the student view every CR question in a much more systematic manner. Once a student is familiar with these methods, the RC section begins to appear reasonably easier to tackle.
Verbal Scholaranium is e-GMAT’s collection of handpicked verbal questions that are at par or can be considered a notch harder than the current GMAT test questions. If one is able to utilize this adequately, the person will surely excel in the Verbal section of the GMAT exam.

The Quant Section – As I’m relatively comfortable with the quant section, I questioned the learning process during my preparation. Why am I supposed to go through the basics? Will it not waste my time? This is where P.A.C.E kicks in!
P.A.C.E is e-GMAT’s proprietary algorithm, which helps the student chart out their preparation plan based on the diagnostic tests attempted. Hence, a student who is relatively stronger in a certain section within the quants module will be in a position to skip those particular files.
This helped me ‘pace’ my preparation. The quality of questions in the Scholaranium is exceptional (though relatively difficult compared with the actual GMAT questions) and these questions helped my Q48 improve to a Q50!

For someone who is inherently a poor test-taker, multiple customizable quizzes helped me prepare for the actual exam. This, coupled with the 5 Sigma-X Mock Tests helped me prepare my test-taking strategies. The Sigma-X mocks are an accurate representation of the actual exam. One can expect a +/- 10/20 points deviation in their official scores.

Lastly, no platform is complete without the human touch. My mentor, Rida Shafeek, and her colleagues were extremely helpful in guiding and motivating me for my exam. There were days when I would be mentally exhausted and physically drained. However, her constant support in charting out a hyper-specific time-bound preparation plan helped me power my 640 to a whopping 760! I’d highly recommend e-GMAT to every GMAT aspirant out there. A solid 10/10!

Hey akash812,

Congratulations on the massive 120-point improvement to 760!! All the blood, sweat and tears you have put in over the last few months has landed you a top 1%ile score!

Looking at your words and your account, it is clear- you were in it to win it. In order to become part of the GMAT elite, you spent the time judiciously to achieve crystal clear conceptual and process understanding, as we can see in the case of CR below-

By harnessing the power of process, you were able to reach amazing accuracies across all Verbal subsections. The effort that you put in allowed you to not only achieve great accuracy in individual subsections but also in test readiness quizzes. These were essential in building the necessary skills to tackle the actual exam. As we can see below, through customised test readiness plans, you were able to achieve 90% plus accuracy on OG questions-

As you mentioned, quant was your strong suit. But, every suit of armour is at risk of having cracks and weaknesses. By utilising the the P.A.C.E. algorithm, you were able to systematically eliminate these gaps and employing a feedback-driven quizzing process, you were able to easily improve to a Q50. Your stats, as we can see below, certainly show that you were ready to achieve this score-

It was a real pleasure working with you on your journey towards 760 Akash. Your grit, tenacity and never-say-die attitude will surely help you succeed for years to come.

All the very best for your next endeavours!

Rida

So this was my first attempt at the GMAT. I knew next to nothing about the exam when I started looking for a preparation course and chose e-GMAT. It was one of the best decisions I took in my prep journey.

Strengths of the product:-

1) Excellent data:
The course provides broad level as well as very granular data on the questions that you solve. This data is critical in the improvement and learning process.

2) Doubt and strategy support:
the E-GMAT team was kind enough to extend an invite for their Last Mile Program to me. As a part of that program a strategy expert was constantly in touch with me and designed a personalised milestone based plan for me during the last 25 days before my exam. This helped me immensely.
I even the doubt support replies to be reasonably quick(

Dear samartharoraa,

Congratulations on your score of 710 with a Q48 and an outstanding V40! With this you have crossed the 90th percentile mark in both GMAT exam and in the Verbal section.

It was because of your diligence that you could derive the best out of the comprehensive course material provided. You were always willing to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve. The image below shows how you used the Scholaranium analytics to understand that a business type passage was your weaker area in RC and then how you improved your ability in RC business passages from 61% accuracy to 84% accuracy by practicing reading exercises on business passages on a regular basis –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/samartharoraa-RC-Improvement-Through-Analytics

The processes became second nature to you because you internalized them through continuous efforts. You maintained your diligence and perseverance through all Verbal subsections. The image below shows your statistics across the three subsections in Verbal in hard questions, allowing you to reach V40 (90th percentile) in a very predictable manner.

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

With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam predictable. With ease you were able to replicate the same in your actual GMAT exam. The image below shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam –

We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the speed of the Verbal videos, and I wanted you to know we continuously strive towards improving our platform to deliver success.

I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination.

I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

I worked with Harry who was awesome in order to get me over the edge to hit my score goal. On short notice, he took me on for two sessions. He quickly identified a few improvement items and helped me improve my time management over the course of the two sessions. I found him to be extremely clear in his feedback and candid in where he saw my potential to be on the exam. In the end I improved my score from 700 on 12/17/2022 to 730 on 1/3/2023. The 730 was my target goal and I'm grateful I was referred to Harry who played a big role in getting me there on such short notice..

Course GMATWhiz GMAT Prep

Location Online

Before usimg GMATWhiz I was primarily using Manhatten online series, and I honestly felt that it's content was too broad and unnecessary in many areas. As I work in a remote location, it wasn't possible for me to take offline courses.

In my first attempt, when I was working with Manhatten, I could only score a 580 on 20th March. During the same period one of my friends scored a 650 by preparing from GMATWhiz, and he had high praises for the same. So I decided to give it a go and started preparing from GMATWhiz on 13th May, and I scheduled my 2nd attempt on 10th August.

Immediately after joining GMATWhiz, I was given a diagnostic test to analyse my levels of prep, and accordingly GMATWhiz chalked out a roadmap for me. As I worked in a steel plant where there where I had to work in irregular round the clock shift, I always had this issue of studying in fixed hours in any particular week. Therefore I was extremely pleased when I realized I could dynamically fix the study hours in any particular week. This weekly adjustment in turn dynamically adjusted the whole roadmap as well, which was really helpful for me, as I was able to ensure that I completed my preparation on time, and keep my preparation under check.

Apart from this, I personally was trughling a lot in Verbal section, but the best part of GMATWhiz was, after completing each topic, it asked me to solve OG questions, while it kept a track of the accuracy and time management I was having while solving them. This literally helped to accurately pinpoint which all topic I was actually struggling. Previously I always believed that I was steong and weak in some aspects, whereas the AI module helped me realise my weakness were actually somewhere else. This along with the plethora of quizzies GMATWhiz had to offer helped me comprehensively prepare well for my exam.

I was unaware of this feature initially, as I was mainly very content with the in depth, and more importantly precise analysis the website had to offer with regards to my preparation. But the mentor really helped in the last weeks of my preparation as he asked me to rework on some specific topics which I'd chose to leave out of sheer overconfidence. I'd to pay for the same during my 2nd attempt, as I scored only 670. But my mentor (Shubhankar Dhar) encouraged me to go for another attempt within less than a month, and I was then able to score a 700 on 3rd September.

I would like to conclude by saying I'm a guy who struggled for 3 years trying to nail CAT. I never crossed 80 %ile in CAT, even though I did prepare sincerely from various coaching classes, but I never saw any results. In l honesty, GMATWhiz was the only coaching which helped me produce positive results. I didn't actually believe I'd be able ever see 650 on my test screen, but 2 days before my 3rd attempt, I was able to produce a 740 in the 5th official GMAT Mock test.

GMATWhiz prepared me in a way, that in the end even 700 felt like a failure to me. Trust me, they have the perfect algorithm to force you to succeed, IF you're ready to put in sincere efforts.

Thank you GMATWhiz, and all the best to anyone who chooses them. You won't regret.

Course Experts' Global "Must Have" GMAT Review

The Experts Global portal offers in-depth analysis across each section. Even within verbal and quant, it showcases specific weaknesses and performance within each topic. This serves very helpful in strategizing the areas to focus upon while preparing. The mocks resemble the difficulty level of the actual exam and are very helpful in developing exam stamina. In fact, even the user interface of the mocks is very similar to the actual GMAT.
Further, the EG team offers very high-quality video content. The topics offered are relevant to the actual test. The content seems to be drawn mostly from the official GMAT material.

Jamie’s online prep course provided a great mix of live instruction and practice problems to be the foundation for my GMAT study journey. Jamie is clearly an experienced GMAT instructor and can teach all quant and verbal topics with ease. She also is very good at explaining topics in simple terms and provides a number of effective strategies and frameworks to use to attack every type of question on the GMAT, as well as overall test-taking strategies such as time management and when to guess, both of which are critical to succeed on the GMAT. She is very engaged and patient with all students that come from diverse backgrounds.

I did my Post Course Assessment with Jamie as I was preparing to take the GMAT for the first time, and she created an individualized study plan for me and shared additional resources to target my areas for improvement. This study plan was very helpful to follow between my first and second GMAT test dates, and helped me improve my overall score by 80 points in just over 3 weeks.

I highly recommend taking your GMAT prep course with Jamie!

I really liked the mentorship help that I received from e-GMAT. My mentor was Mr. Dhruv Joshi. He was really helpful throughout my GMAT journey. He was always prompt in replying whenever I needed any help. He gave me guided improvement plans to follow. The help I received from my mentor helped me tremendously in achieving the score. After my 2nd attempt. I was deeply demotivated as I was unable to achieve my target score. I had almost given up the thought of getting a chance at my dream B-school. However, Dhruv assured me that the target score was possible with the right strategy and effort. I followed the plans shared by him and I was able to see the improvements.
I would like to thank e-GMAT team for helping me reach my target score.

E-GMAT was my savior when I needed help the most. I started my GMAT prep in the month of April '22. I hired one of the tutors (would like the keep it anonymous). I was given a content ramp-up plan of ~4 months and then a month of mock practice and it was expected that I would be able to crack the exam in the south of ~6 months.

Days passed by. I gave in the required time, finished the content, and attempted my first mock (Official practice test 1). I got a 720 - This was the best score I would get among the mocks to come, and, yes, I attempted quite a few of them. The entire month of august, I wrote 1 mock per week with the delusion that I have mastered what is there to master in the content and it was just a matter of time before I get my target score of 750. Reality check, after around 6 mocks, 720 was still my best score. I even got a few scores of sub-700. I tried reaching out to my mentors but received no help whatsoever.

Enter E-GMAT the savior. Disappointed with my performance, I decided to take a week off from my prep and went to home in the first week of September. I was stressed out and clueless. Then I got in touch with folks at e-GMAT. Appeared for the first sigma mock and got a 700. Now, our goal was clear, get a 750 in about 2 months' time.

I started with E-GMAT on the 19th of September. They really helped me out in identifying my weak areas in the Verbal section and filling in the gaps. Most importantly, the mentor (Ms. Abha Mohan) instilled in confidence within me that I can actually hit the 750-740 mark consistently.

The organized content, the proactive support from the mentors' team, the methodical approach to both the Verbal and Quant sections, the Excellent content for both Quant and Verbal, and the Sigma-X Mock Tests helped me a lot! Overall, I witnessed a night and day difference b/w my previous tutor and this tutor.

Finally, I appeared for my first GMAT test and got a 740! It was a decent attempt.

Hi yashswij,

Congratulations on reaching the top 3%ile!   

Abha this side from e-GMAT. A GMAT 740 is an amazing score, and we are glad that we could be part of your journey.    

What I remember most about your journey is the time and effort you put into perfecting processes and methods- you truly left no stone unturned.

Once you mastered the processes, you worked on mastering the application through the right kind of practice on Scholaranium, thus ensuring that you could replicate the success quiz after quiz. Here is an image where you have consistently hit 80% accuracy in NP-Hard questions on the last two quizzes before the exam.

Your repeated success gave you the confidence you needed to succeed on the test day. You could predict your success just by having a glance at your last Sigma -X mock score, wherein you scored 740. I hope you did notice the same 😊.

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

Location Online

The Flexible Prep Course allows you to study at your pace and offer great material to go with it. I would say the question bank was really close to the actual GMAT question bank. I had loads of questions to practice what I had learned from an equally abundant, and thorough, material. I was weak in Verbal, Probability and Combinatorics. But by the end of my preparation, these were my strongest areas. The course also encourages you to take frequent chapter tests. The frequency of these chapter tests helped me solidify core concepts.

I really recommend this course if you feel a lack of direction in your preparation. This course guides you through your preparation, does not rely on shortcuts and tricks. The course imparts complete knowledge and does not expect you to rely on any shortcuts for test day.

I used e-gmat.com to prepare for the GMAT and was incredibly impressed with the quality of their content and the effectiveness of their approach. The Verbal section specially had a very methodical approach, with clear strategies and techniques for tackling each type of question. This helped me approach the questions with more confidence and ultimately improve my performance. The pedagogy for solving SC questions were extremely effective, meaning based approach to each sentence correction really makes a lot of difference while solving medium to hard questions. The core skills such as identifying grammatical errors, understanding meaning, and answer choices analysis got firmly built due to the course. The CR part was excellent in terms of understanding the different parts of an argument, the different kinds of questions that can be asked and mainly getting to know the traps involved in official GMAT questions. eGMAT gave me an altogether different strategy in for tackling CR: “Pre thinking”, this approach has worked wonders for me. From starting with very low accuracy right to getting all of them right has been an incredible experience. The RC course was good for learning the way to understand any given passage, and increasing retention while reading anything.

I also used EGMAT for Quant, since I have been out of the academics for a long time, I needed to brush up my concepts and do the necessary practice to ensure that I am ready for the exam. The Quant section helped me immensely for enhancing my skillset and clearing my concepts on different topics.

Last but not the least, the best past of Egmat is its Scholaranium. This is an extremely welldesigned platform which provides numerous questions within each section, along with amazing data analytics which helped me improve my abilities.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with eEgmat it helped to reach my target score at my very 1st attempt. I would definitely recommend the course to the future aspirants.

Dear SM17,

Congratulations on scoring a 700!!

Thank you for such a great review! I am happy that we could contribute to your massive 100-point improvement😊

I must commend you on how, after recognizing that you needed to build your ability from the foundation-up, you set about learning your concepts and internalizing the application skills. With this disciplined approach, you mastered the meaning-based approach in SC that helped you improve to 90th percentile ability in SC as seen in this image: https://success.e-gmat.com/SM17-90-percentile-SC-ability

As you have mentioned, you started with low accuracy in CR. You took this as a challenge and internalised the pre-thinking approach to be able to improve your ability. You used the power of analytics from the Scholaranium platform to further build your ability by identifying and working on your weak areas. See how this helped you not only improve your CR accuracy to 70%+ in hard questions but also helped you bring your overall time in CR down to less than 2 min:
https://success.e-gmat.com/SM17-CR-Ability-vs-Time-Reduction

It is appreciable how in quant, recognising the fact that you have been out of touch for some time, you went through all the files and mastered the application of the process to improve to a Q49.

SM17, you have shown that a structured, methodical approach with a single-minded focus on the end goal will help one achieve what one sets their eyes on!

On behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours

Regards,

Rashmi Vaidya
