eGMAT helped me improve my score from 570 to 730 in just 2 months. I started with V 34 when I initially gave the mock test, which worried me a lot. I then decided to take eGMAT having heard great reviews about it. I purchased it on 24th June but started studying properly around 1st September. I needed immense support on my Sentence Correction section, which was extremely weak for me. Payal explains the Sentence Correction process extremely well. The methods given in EGMAT were very useful to help me improve my score. I also used EGMAT for Quant, especially the Quant Scholararium, which is an extremely useful tool. If I had slightly more time, I would have used the EGMAT scholararium better which would have helped my Quant score more. The questions in EGMAT are extremely good and very much like the actual GMAT test. I am grateful to EGMAT team.

Dear meghnajoshi2195, 

Congratulations on the massive 160-point improvement to 740.

You did not let the low score in your first mock pull you back. But you used that as a springboard and how? Picking up from there you set about internalizing the methods required to ace the GMAT.

The diligence with which you set about improving your ability is seen in verbal where you achieved a great 8-point improvement to V42(96%ile). See how with a methodical approach you were able to steadily improve your accuracy in SC to 80% (90%ile ability).

Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/Meghnas-SC-Accuracy

In quant, despite starting at a lower level of Q34, using a structured and focused approach, you were able to improve by a massive 14-points to a Q48! As you have rightly mentioned, given a tad bit more time, I am sure you could have got a Q50 too.

I am sure the discipline and hard work that you have demonstrated in your preparation will come in handy during your stint in your dream B-school and you will succeed in all your future endeavors.

Wishing you all the best,
Regards,

Overall it was very helpful as I made an improvement of 70 score points. The mocks provided give a very accurate score and help us to identify weak points to work upon. The recorded videos start from the basics, ensuring students understand the concepts well before solving questions. The mentor programme is very helpful as they give the student personalised advice according to his/her strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, GMAT has a very large question bank so the student can never run out of questions to practice. EACH TIME A MOCK IS GIVEN, ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ARE ADDED. There is also an option to customize quizzes so one can take quizzes from certain topics from questions which have been answered correctly or incorrectly or which had been bookmarked earlier. This really helps to judge whether one is repeating the mistakes already made in the past.

Dear Tanyushvi,

Congratulations on your score of 710 with a remarkable Q50 and a V37! With this, you have crossed the 90th percentile mark in the GMAT exam.

Scoring a V37 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. Your performance in RC, as seen in the image below, is a testament to your hard work and dedication. Improving your accuracy from 50% to 80% is no small feat!

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Tanyushvi-RC-Improvement-Statistics

You carried this progression to other subsections in Verbal as well. The below image shows your phenomenal statistics from Verbal Scholaranium which demonstrates your diligence and perseverance. These statistics show the consistency through which you got that V37 (81st percentile).

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

With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam predictable. It was only a matter of time before you could replicate the same in your actual GMAT exam.

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!

Jeff was incredibly helpful in improving my score by 40 points (710 --> 750). He pinpointed my weaknesses in both verbal and quant, even though I had really only flagged verbal as a concern. In addition to teaching me strategy and diving deeper into questions I was answering incorrectly, Jeff was just a calming presence with the perfect balance of pushing me to be better and serving as a motivational coach. After taking the GMAT a couple of times with no significant improvement in my score, I was thrilled when Jeff's coaching had a direct and quick impact on my studying tactics and score on test day.

I recently 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 Quants section was particularly comprehensive, with a variety of practice questions and detailed explanations. This allowed me to diagnose my current skills and identify areas where I needed to improve. The Verbal section also 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.

One of the standout features of e-gmat.com is the support provided by their team. They were always available to answer my questions and provide personalized feedback on my progress. This was crucial to my success, as it helped me stay on track and motivated throughout my preparation.

Thanks to the e-gmat program, I was able to achieve an ability of 720 on the GMAT, which exceeded my initial expectations. I then decided to enroll in the Last Mile Push program, which provided me with dedicated mentoring support to help me further improve. This proved to be an excellent decision, as it allowed me to reach a final score of 740 (Q49, V42).

Overall, I highly recommend e-gmat.com to anyone preparing for the GMAT. Their comprehensive course material, clear and effective teaching methods, and personalized support make them the best resource available for achieving a top score on the exam. The course is designed to help you prepare for your test as best as possible and covers all the changes in the 2018 exam interface. If you're serious about improving your GMAT score, e-gmat.com is the way to go.

Dear mananbarjatya,

Congratulations on your score of 740 with a Q49 and a remarkable V42. With this, you have become a part of the top 3 percentile test takers! A 110-point improvement overall with a 12-point improvement in Verbal from V30 to V42 (56th percentile to 96th percentile) is a phenomenal feat to achieve in just 3 months.

To begin with, let us look at the image below which shows how beautifully you implemented your study plan by understanding the learning architecture and the overall required effort -

It was because of your diligence that you could derive the best out of the comprehensive course material provided. The below image shows your statistics across the three subsections in Verbal Scholaranium in hard questions which predicted your ability to be more than 95th percentile.

With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam certain. Even when there was a dip in the score in your last mock, you utilized that time as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and improve from there. The below image shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam.

I have tried multiple programs before really starting my GMAT journey. At first, I tried a program which enabled me to get a 650 at my first GMAT attempt. However, my quant was still quite low. After seeing the reviews I tried the free Target Test Prep offer which was great so after that I bought the month subscription. I studied the GMAT for a month in combination with a full-time job. Target Test Prep enabled me to improve my score to a 700. Target Test Prep is really a well-made platform especially for quant. When a new subject is introduced, first there is a lesson and then you have easy, medium and hard questions on the subject. This enables you to be sure that you have revised everything you need to achieve your goals. Also, the program is tailored for your goals (I took the version made to reach between 700-730 but I guess that for different levels different subjects are introduced). In conclusion, I would recommend this program to everyone who wants to succeed his GMAT goals.

E-GMAT- a blessing in my journey!

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

I joined e-gmat after finishing another GMAT in-person course from an organization. After I had finished my first coaching and attempted an official mock, the results were shocking. Not only was the study material far from the required concepts, the methods used to teach were very generic and rudimentary.
GMAT is an adaptive test, and with the algorithm the test is based on, one must be prepared to:
- Handle questions by applying relevant concepts
- Have a pacing-strategy in place
- Nurture the correct mind-set
These 3 points are the most basic requirements, and E-gmat gives just the right appreciation to there importance. After following the steps prescribed by the course and the mentors, I was able to score as high as:
- 780 and 760 in official mocks
- 760 in SIGMA-X mock
- 720 in my official attempt

THE COURSE:
E-gmat is, hands-down, one of the most targeted courses available anywhere in India and online. The subject matter taught is entirely relevant and not at all redundant. In fact, the course ensures that the needs of people from varied starting points are catered to. I belong to a non-math background and felt extremely lost as I proceeded with my initial coaching classes. But the Quant course of E-gmat walked me through the most basic concepts and made me reach complex concepts so fluently that I managed to score a Q50 in every Official Mock I took. Cementing Quiz feature especially comes in-handy to give you a realistic, non-starry check of your performance, which is an under-rated but super-important requirement for one’s journey.

MY ADVICE: While the course does an amazing job in laying down all the concepts, it is also imperative that you keep on revising the taught concepts by re-visiting the concept/application files. It is your responsibility to ensure that you make the most out of the course. The course is a powerful weapon if you know how to use it.
Further, the verbal course, especially verbal SC, is very comprehensive. I loved how the course teaches the way to read given sentences with a goal in mind (meaning analysis for SC and logic analysis for CR and RC).

ERROR LOGS: The course also provides ready-to-use error logs, another great feature that keeps you focused and targeted. The logs make you question where you went wrong, for instance- sometimes, I’d know the concept to be used but could not translate what was asked in a timed environment; using the error logs made my job easier as I knew that I did not need to go back to the concepts but only focus on not rushing through reading the question stem. Your only responsibility while filling up these logs is to be honest with yourself, and the more honest you are with yourself, the faster you will sail as you’d know the exact area that requires fixing.

THE TEAM (MENTORS):
- The forum: Makes the course journey personalized. Queries are answered within 24 hours. The responses are provided by qualified professionals and are extremely reliable. The forum discussion threads make you look a given problem form multiple facets and reach to the root of your concern.

- Strategy Experts: There are so many highlights of the course, but this is perhaps the one that shines the brightest. You can mail and seek guidance from strategy experts of e-gmat. There were multiple mentors that helped me throughout the journey and gave me workable insights and I am thankful to all of them.

Kanupriya Sharma was my main mentor throughout. I just loved how Kanupriya ma’am hand-held and guided me through my journey and always motivated me to only focus how I can improve. It is because of her efforts in providing me with the required plans that I was able to bag such an amazing score. Dhruv Joshi also helped me considerably during the last phase of my journey by providing me with the right content and areas to focus on and by providing a real of view of my progress.

THE STEPS TO SUCCESS:
Completing the course is, as the people at e-gmat would say, not sufficient in itself to ace the test. The three main pointers I mentioned above are no cake-walk and need to be nurtured with time. Thus, consistent revisions, cementing quizzes, test-readiness and mocks are all important to score well. If you, for any reason, don’t follow the given path, you run the risk of falling off-track, a result that can cost you time.

I highly recommend this specific course after having experienced other prep company courses. E-GMAT is one of the best course available for GMAT prep today.

Hi Shivangisharmaa,

Congratulations on your score of 720!

I really like the way that you have approached your preparation in a structured and clinical manner, carving out the most precise path to GMAT success.

Your crystal-clear understanding of the structure and bankable skills truly paid off in Verbal. In SC especially, I can see the focus that you placed on understanding the meaning and structure of a sentence to get to the right answer translated to the 95%accuracy in SC hard questions.

I am glad Quant 2.0 helped build your foundation from basics and master your application to be able to solve most hard-level questions. Despite coming from a non-quant background, with your efforts and structured approach, you were able to achieve exceptional stats on the Quant scholaranium scoring the 80th percentile plus ability across sub-sections:

Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/Shivangisharmaa-Schol-80-percentile

What is commendable is you used all the features of the course available - forums, mentorship, and error log. You not just maintained the Error Log but did a thorough analysis of your entries to identify the lingering weak areas and work on them appropriately.

Your journey is a testament to the fact that when one puts in the right kind of effort in the right spirit, one can achieve whatever one sets their eyes on.

Shivangisharmaa, the entire strategy team is glad to have been a part of your amazing journey. 

We wish you the best in all your future endeavours.

eGMAT Review- Journey to 710

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Course e-GMAT Online Intensive

I decided to prepare for GMAT earlier this year (2022). I started my preparation by giving an official mock, in which I scored 630. I immediately knew Verbal is my weak area and I need to improve the same. After practicing few questions from OG, I had little to no improvement in my score. This is when I decided to opt for a coaching. After extensive research, I decided to go for eGMAT course. This was one of my best decisions.
I started the course with Master Comprehension to understand the basics of a sentence. This part was really important for me as it helped me set a foundation for myself. After building my basics, I started with Sentence Correction, which was always the most difficult part for me. I gave 1.5 months to complete SC. But after the completion of the SC course, I was confident enough to answer these questions. The meaning based approach to solving the SC questions helped me a lot.
I then started off with RC and CR. I used to score pretty well in RC, but my CR scores were fluctuating continuously. This is when Rida (eGMAT mentor) provided me several extra videos to study from. These videos really helped me boost my CR scores.
I was pretty good with Quant, so I did not put much effort on it. I just practiced some topic quizzes and gave some mocks.
I decided to give my first attempt in August last week, and I scored 670 (Q47 V35).
I decided to put my focus on Quant now and practiced lot of questions of varied difficulty level. I again appeared for second attempt in mid November. This time I scored 710 (Q50 V35).
I would really like to thank eGMAT for being there with me throughout my GMAT journey and providing me the best content available for the exam.
For those who are starting their GMAT journey, I would highly recommend them to opt for eGMAT course and see the results themselves.

Dear harshit0609,

Congratulations on the 710! This is Rida, your mentor. I am so glad to have been a part of your journey!

I am glad to see the effort and diligence you have put into reaching your GMAT goals. You put in your 150% to learn and master concepts and processes that would guarantee success. The importance you placed on Master Comprehension and the basic unit of GMAT Verbal- a sentence- shows that you understood the importance of a strong foundation. This attitude carried over to other subsections, such as in SC, where, as we can see below, you gave it your all to achieve perfection in learning-

It is wonderful that this focus on process, and the work you put into ensured you eliminated weaknesses and had consistentperformance clearly paid off in a V35. As seen below, your stats on Scholaranium clearly show that you were primed to reach your target score!

Thank you for your feedback on the Quant questions. Preparing for the GMAT is akin to preparing for battle- it is better to be well-equipped to answer any type of question that comes your way.

All the very best for your next steps!

I had taken the subscription for the Manhattan test series. I found the tests worth the money. It helped me to get a grip on the format and get comfortable to be able to solve difficult questions. The tests helped me improve both my quant and verbal skills because of the comprehensive test material they provided. The explanations are also good and crisp. Finally, their customer service is also very supportive. Hence, I would highly recommend their test mocks.

When I first thought of a course to focus on my GMAT preparation, I skimmed multiple reviews on GMAT Club and some other forums but couldn't figure out one standard course to solve my problems. After some more research I finally decided to try the initial 1 week trial period by EGMAT. From the get go I fell in love with the content, the videos were not long and tedious but short, concise and to the point just as I liked. After finishing up my trial week, I instantly purchased my course to get started with my GMAT prep.
My main pain point was my Verbal section, with my approach not being decisive and most of my solutions specially for SC being based on feel good factor. The pedagogy employed by EGMAT helped me come up with a more sequential strategy to tackle SC questions, the elimination process helped me proceed from one step to the another without complicating the question. Also, while navigating through the Critical Reasoning module the structure to tackle the question and identify the argument helped me save time and look at the important keywords.
This being just a glimpse of what the EGMAT course has offered me, to cut short and provide an honest opinion on the course I can say in a heartbeat that if you struggle with consistency in Verbal or don't have a concrete strategy for the section EGMAT is the place for you.

Dear Gozmit5,  

 Congratulations on a great score. Only the top 4% of the test takers score a 730 and it is great to see you are one of them.

I am glad that you enjoyed using the platform, and it added value to your preparation. The ‘feel-good’ method for solving questions in GMAT will take you only so far. It is commendable how you recognized this and set about learning the right processes to build your verbal ability.

It is exemplary how through a structured approach you were able to improve your verbal score to a V40.
This image shows how through your consistent and methodical efforts you were able to improve to a 90th%ile ability in CR:

I enrolled for eGMAT after some research and word of mouth. A friend told me it is solid and she got a good score with eGMAT.

I also read the reviews that eGMAT has great Verbal content, and I could see that as soon as I started my preparation. The SC course is taught with a focus on meaning with a solid base of grammar. They encourage you to read, pause and visualise. This technique helped me in all the 3 subsections.

I got a 680 on my first actual exam, but I knew it wasn't an honest attempt. My CR was weak and I did not pay enough attention to analyse it.

For my second attempt, I contacted eGMAT for the last mile push program for which I could get a mentor and a personalised plan. My mentor, Rida Shafeek helped me analyse what weaknesses I have and made a personalised weekly plan based on how much time I could commit. I just had a month for my retake.
Rida helped me with constant feedback, tailor-made quizzes and in-depth performance analysis.
With consistent mentorship throughout the final weeks, I solidified my weaknesses and finally scored a 730 on my second attempt!

The top 3 areas I needed help in were SC, CR and word problems in maths. Pre-thinking did not work for me, but what worked was identifying the gaps in CR arguments. And those were the key to any answer.

I highly recommend eGMAT, especially if anyone's struggling with Verbal

Hi amollkhugshal,

Congratulations on your 730 score! You are now part of the top 4% of GMAT test takers worldwide!

This is Rida, your mentor. I am so glad to have been a part of your journey to success.

I can see from your words, “They encourage you to read, pause and visualise. This technique helped me in all the 3 subsections”, that you had understood the key skills necessary to succeed in GMAT Verbal. Indeed, your stats in Verbal Scholaranium show how useful these skills were in getting you to V38-

You consistently practiced Quant questions and leveraged the feedback driven system to learn from every quiz you attempted, this really helped you improve upon any lingering weaknesses and get to a Q50. In NP, as seen below, this method of strategic review and practice helped you consistently maintain a Q50 level-


Thank you for your feedback! We place a lot of importance in the accuracy of our data and believe that retaking mocks would show an inflated score and thus an inaccurate ability. Hence, we don’t allow mocks to be reset.


I am glad that you decided to persevere and give the GMAT another attempt after scoring 680. Though we had a short window to work with- just 30 days! – your dedication, hard work and diligence made your success possible.

All the very best for your future endeavours!
