Overall, eGMAT has aced the process of helping a student ace the GMAT exam, which in itself can be daunting and more so for working professionals, who may not have studied formally for a few years and need to get into that mindset of studying again.

eGMAT's tiered break-down of sections helps immensely in that regard and their PACE time savings method in the quant helps the student identify their strengths and subsequently reduce their preparation time.

I would recommend eGMAT wholeheartedly for anyone who wants to do well at the GMAT, be it a recent graduate, a working professional or an experienced professional.

Hi rahulv97,   

Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 710 score! 

What a massive 110-point improvement you have had! I truly commend you on all the efforts you took to scale this massive score of 710 (90th percentile) from a humble score of 600 (50th percentile).

You understood the importance of laying a strong foundation and therefore spent a lot of your time going through the course with diligence. Here is an image testifying the tough grind you put yourself through while setting up a concrete groundwork for the Verbal section.

The solid base you created for yourself, using the e-GMAT recommended structured approach resulted in you ’breezing through’ the Medium cementing stage with ease.

This followed by practice on 700+ level questions through hard cementing helped you solidify your application skills and land a mammoth V41 (93rd percentile) on the official GMAT.

I am pleased to know that you acknowledge that my honest critique only helped you improve, as that is our sole motive as mentors, to help and guide our students to their target scores by providing some forthright and genuine advice.

I am glad to know that you leveraged the P.A.C.E. AI in our Quant 2.0 course and saved a lot of your precious time during the prep.

Considering the importance that we give to our students’ preparation and the value of timely response; we find emails to be the most effective medium of communication.

Having spent 3 months studying for GMAT as my top priority in my daily schedule, and having completed 2 official examinations with unsatisfactory results, I turned to GMATNinja for assistance.

The GMATNinja site emphasizes their strength accurately and succinctly: "we uncover the fundamental causes of your underperformance on the GMAT."

My own (blunt) version of these words are: if you're having trouble assessing why you're not achieving the scores you want, it's probably because you're focusing on the wrong thing.

Mike helped me shine a light on my blind spots. and I am sure he can for you too. In 5 sessions, he managed to turn my 640 test score to a 730! If you haven't achieved the score you want on a practice / real exam, please do not waste your precious time mindlessly hacking away. Learn from the true professionals at GMAT Ninja.

Third time was the charm - powered by e-Gmat verbal

A quick brief of my GMAT journey:
I had been on and off with my Gmat prep since 2018, life, international job opportunity, and many other things got in the way.
However I finally committed to appearing for gmat in 2021, and scored 700. Though this isn't a bad score considering the colleges that I was interested in and my profile it wasn't sufficient. I got rejections most of the T20 MBAs.
So a. year later I appeared again around mid August and scored 680, so I cancelled my score. This probably was my lowest point as most of my mocks were above 700.
Upon reviewing my performances and ESR I realized the issue was with verbal, particularly SC. I did pretty good in CR/RC. I had previously used free resources of e-GMAT (from youtube and gmatclub forum), and based on that experience decided to go for e-GMAT subscription. Another reason to to choose e-gmat was their price point, I did not intend on spending too much on a course that I would use just for a few topics/weeks.

e-GMAT usage:
As the R1 deadlines appeared I only had about 4 weeks to reappear. So I took the e-GMAT course to bridge my verbal knowledge. I have been a fluent english speaker since childhood, however it is mainly conversational fluency. When it came to using rules to distinguish between options I would bank on "does this sound right" and various tricks and techniques. It was clear that I had exhausted the potential of these strategies and I had to bridge the fundamental knowledge.

This is where the e-GMAT's structured course really helped me. Particularly using the diagnostics I could skip the sections over which I had mastery, e.g. comparisons. This enabled me to fast-track my preparation in the short window of opportunity.

The explanations of fundamental concepts were also quite rational and logical. Up until then I considered grammar to be some sort of magic/alchemy, particularly when it came to modifiers. But through their explanations I could see the rule-based nature. This knowledge paired with my "conversational fluency" was a potent combination that enabled me to score so well during my third attempt (750) which got me into T15 MBA's.

I did not use the quant tutorials as I was pretty confidant on these topics. I only used the quant question bank. I liked the customizability and difficulty-adaptability of the question bank.

One more thing to highlight about the question bank, since I had attempted GMAT twice I had exhausted all the questions from official question banks. This was a bigger issue for verbal than quant and CR/RC questions were essentially corrupted. I liked that e-GMAT questions were not a repeat of the official question bank and it gave me new questions to practice on.

In the end I would heavily recommend e-GMAT to anyone who wants to change their Verbal game fundamentally, whatever knowledge level you are at!

Original Score: 700 (V38,Q48)
Final Score (after e-GMAT): 750 (V41, Q50)

Dear razerblade,

Congratulations on the 750 – a score achieved by just the top 2% of the test-takers!!! A feat made more commendable with a 50-point improvement in just 4 weeks.

I really appreciate how you went about improving from 700. You analysed your performance to understand where the improvement was to come from – Sentence Correction.

Having identified this, you decided a ‘sounds right’ approach will just not cut it in SC and spent considerable time building your foundations by learnings concepts and applications. See how you were able to achieve near-perfect scores in the foundational modules of Subject-Verb with your diligence:
https://success.e-gmat.com/razerblade-subject-verb-accuracy

Having done this, you mastered your applications on GMAT-like questions in Scholaranium to be able to consistently answer SC questions of all difficulty levels. I am glad that this diligent and methodical approach helped you get to the top 6%ile in verbal.

The journey from good to great is not easy. If anything, it is more difficult than the journey to good. But you have shown that once one sets their eyes on something and is unwilling to settle for anything but the best, great feats are achieved😊

I am sure this never-say-die attitude will help you reach greater heights in your future.

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

Rida Shafeek

e-GMAT's Review

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-

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/akash812-Evaluate-Efforts

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.

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.

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.
