Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

Hello Everyone!!
I am happy to say that I gave the Gmat on 2nd December and scored a 740 Q 50 and V39. I would like to take this moment and tank everyone who helped me throughout this process especially Gmat Club and E-Gmat. On my diagnostic test I got a 670 and as I was new to the Gmat, I assumed that I could improve the score very easily.
However, my score appeared to had platued on the 710s. This is when I decided to take a E-gmat course. Prior to taking the course, I attended several sessions taken by Rajat and Payal on Gmat club and I had found that I was really able to relate to their process. Thus, I took the Gmat online 360 on Feb 20th of this year.
For quant, the course is very well complied and covers every topic and reinforces your learnings by taking multiple quizzes. For me, the courses on the inequalities, sets and statistics were very helpful. Once I was done with the chapters, I had a gigantic pool of questions in the scholaranium from which I could test my learnings and the error log was very vital for me to track the questions on which I faltered. This rigorous and extensive nature of the course ensured that I was more than well prepared to tack the quant section of the Gmat.
In my opinion, the course on verbal is the best. I was easily able to relate to and grasp the methodologies taught in the course and that is what I believe have helped me achieve such a score on the Gmat. The meaning-based approach taught me to always look for the meaning of a SC questions before going to options. Initially, even though I believed that would waste precious time on the Gmat, I could not have been more wrong. By regular practice of this method, I was able to get more Sc questions correct and also solved them in much less time. Their philosophy of Pre- thinking on the Critical reasoning section helped me with accuracy and timing. Not only was I able to easily able to solve questions but also, I was able to do them in much less time. However, the most important learning from the course for me was in the Reading Comprehension section. Previously, in my mocks, I was unable to complete the Verbal section on time. Thus, I had a fear that I was slow, however, it was my approach that needed improvement and E-gmat helped me with that. Their processes and the practice materials gave me a good enough idea of what to expect on the Gmat and more than well prepared me for the test day.
Even though, E-gmat has a wide variety of questions, excellent mocks and several ways to cement your learnings, I believe that the processes of E-gmat were what helped me immensely.Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the good people of E-gmat and I have no doubt when I say that E-gmat was the best investment I have done in my Gmat journey.

My Journey to 720 with e-GMAT

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 80 Points

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

So I’ve enrolled in the e-GMAT Course after doing a lot of research on which course to opt for my GMAT prep. I’ve written an official mock 3 years ago and I knew my weakest area was verbal. After reading a lot of reviews I’ve decided to give e-GMAT a try. In my first Sigma X mock I scored a 640 with 46 in quant and 31 in verbal. So I’ve enrolled in the course and started focusing on verbal. Ended up scoring a 780 in my last Sigma X mock with 51 in Quant and 45 in Verbal. And scored 780 and 770 in both my official mocks, and 720 in the main GMAT.

There are three things that I absolutely loved about the course
Super Interactive
While preparing for GMAT I realized the issue I’m facing is not the understanding of the concepts but it’s the application of the concepts in the given amount of time. And the structure of the course was such that I could learn, apply and cement the process through their modules and quizzes, especially in the verbal section. The application of the concepts was very well covered in the interactive style of their course. In following that process I could increase my accuracy from 60% to a whopping 90% in all the sub sections.
The Dashboard and Error Log
They have an amazing and very EASY to use dashboard. It is so well defined that I could find my weakest areas in terms of accuracy, difficulty level and timing. I could focus on my weak areas and increase my score by more than 80 points without spending a lot of time in the prep.
I can only stress and stress on the importance of the error log. I’ve revised it at least 30 times before the test. And the error log that they’ve provided is very thorough and has helped me fill all the conceptual and application gaps.
My Coach Rashmi Vaidya (LMP - Last Mile Push Program)
She is the BEST. I was struggling to cross the 700 mark. Without her intervention I wouldn’t be able to score above 700. She would analyze my mocks, my tests, and every aspect of my profile and suggest the next steps. She has supported me through my downs and trusted in me more than how much I did. Rashmi has spotted intricate shortcomings in my profile and made me cement them really well. I really really thank her for her support and availability through the course.

All in all e-GMAT has helped me score a 720 in spite of me having a bad test day. I’m considering a retake because I know my ability is higher than 720 and that trust was built through the course and Rashmi.

First Sigma Mock: 640(Q46 and V31)
Last Sigma Mock: 780(Q51 and V45)
Official Mock 1: 770(Q51 and V47)
Official Mock 2: 780(Q50 and V46)
GMAT Attempt 1: 720(Q50 and V38)
Total Preparation Time: 4 months, approx. 3 hours a day
Planning to retake it in the next 15 days.

Dear layakeerthi,

Congratulations on your 80-point improvement to 720! This is your mentor, Rashmi here.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. You are the perfect example of how one can ace the GMAT through a consistent, diligent, and process-oriented approach.

It is commendable how you recognized that while you might be conceptually strong, you need to work on your application skills to be able to get to a top score on the GMAT.

You not only built a solid foundation by going through the application files but mastered the application by working on GMAT-level questions during cementing.

See how this process-led approach helped you get to 90%ile ability in verbal. This image shows how the time invested in learning applications in SC helped you improve to 90%ile in SC

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/90thpercentile-topic-level-accuracy

Mastering application is not a one-time linear approach. It is an iterative process of identifying weak areas and strengthening them. You did an exemplary job of this process by constantly reviewing your quizzes to identify areas of weakness. You then set about improving these areas with a single-minded focus. I am glad that the error logs and analytics on the platform helped you in this journey.

See how in RC, through this constant iterative process, you were able to improve not just your accuracy but also bring down the time:

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/RC-stats-predict-90thpercentile-ability

You followed the same diligent and structured approach in quant where you were able to get to the 83%ile ability level required to get to a Q50. See how the scholaranium data predicted you to get a Q50:

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Scholaranium-stats-predict-Q50

Once you reached a 700 level, with your persistent and strategic approach, you improved your ability to a 750 level. I know you couldn’t get to this score on the test day, but I am sure that with your grit and determination, you will get there on your reattempt.

I wish you all the best for the reattempt and all your future endeavours.

Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

I took the GMAT online exam on 3rd December, 2022 and scored a 730 ( Q49 V41 ). I took a mock before starting any prep and got a score of 650. I was apparently in the 650-700 plateau stage. So, I signed up for the e-GMAT course on 2nd July, 2022. I totally loved the course. Everything is extremely detailed. It start from the basics courses ( Quant Basics for Quant and Master Comprehension for Verbal ). Both of which helped me strengthen my foundation. The concept files are well made. You have practice files and application files. In the Scholaranium, you've plenty of questions, supplemented by Analytics that tell you how much time you took, what are you strong areas, weak areas, and even the difficulty progression. Even the forums, doubt resolution is really good. I was even assigned a Strategy Expert throughout. So, all in all, I would highly recommed this course to everyone. Thank you E-Gmat.

Hi Abhi160792,   

Heartfelt Congratulations to you on your 730 score! 

An 80-point improvement needs a humungous effort and plenty of self-belief. Both these attributes were the pillars of your success while improving from 650 to 730.

Good decisions during prep play a significant role in the GMAT journey.

You made the wise decision of laying a strong foundation initially. Using the data analytics throughout your prep to find the weaknesses and to fix those gaps was another smart decision. Here is an image of your outstanding Verbal stats from the last phase of your prep, which is certainly an outcome of many such right decisions that you took during your prep.

Course e-GMAT Online 360

I wouldn't say online courses could help all students improve their scores significantly because that would be a false claim. In fact, my case is an example where I self-studied with books for 2 months (completely from scratch) and got 700 in my first attempt, and after learning extra with e-GMAT I still got 700 in my second attempt.

However, I would definitely stress on the difference between these 2 700 scores. In my very first attempt, I hastily rushed on the last 3-4 questions in both Verbal and Quantitative sessions, and I knew there were many random guesses throughout my Verbal one. Hence, I believe the first 700 was a complete luck.

After studying with e-GMAT, I saw their biggest strength is the structural guidance of thinking for each type of knowledge in the GMAT test. That helped me a lot on the second attempt and especially in the Verbal CR questions, where I didn't even need to rush and random guess in any question. Given the admission deadlines and current workload from my job, I am unfortunately not having enough time to re-take the test. I wish I had studied GMAT with e-GMAT earlier from last year, so that I would have had more time doing practices and more chance to score higher because I know I'm capable of.

Hi minhhoangvo,

Thank you for taking the time to pen down your review!

I am glad to see that you were able to use the course to change the way that you approach the test. While deadlines and work commitments might have prevented you from attempting a retake, the skills you have learnt would definitely help you in the future.

I commend the time and effort you have put into the course. This focussed effort allowed you to internalise methodologies that would get you to the right answer each and every time. In CR especially, this effort has paid off, where your accuracy increased from 27% to 67% in hard questions-

Minhhoangvo, given your diligence and drive, I am sure that any cohort would be lucky to have you. Your ability to understand and appreciate growth in different contexts will truly add value to any B School.

All the very best!

Course GMATWhiz GMAT Prep

Location Online

I subscribed to GMATWhiz GMAT Prep 2 months program. I had earlier taken GMAT exam and scored 710, which was substantially below my target score. I took a free strategy consultation call with Piyush and he helped me analyze the ESR. Piyush explained me what mistakes I was making and recommended me to take a course to speed up my preparation. After the call, I decided to enrol in the GMAT online course of GMATwhiz.
When I joined the course, Saquib was assigned as my mentor. With hardly a month left for my next GMAT appointment, Saquib recommended me to complete the entire CR and RC module (my weak areas) and to go for quizzes for the SC and quant sections (my relatively better areas). Saquib met me online every 5-6 days during initial 2-3 weeks to help me prepare for the exam and in the last 10 days, we had a call every alternate day to fine tune my strategy/preparation. I worked on the actionable input that Saquib gave and managed to improve my score by 40 points and got a 750 (Q49 & V41).
GMATwhiz course helped me by:
1. Mentorship: This was the most helpful feature of GMATwhiz. Saquib helped me identify my weak areas and made me work on those. I am working full time with 6days work week. Saquib was kind enough to accommodate my requests to schedule mentorship calls at odd times, early mornings and nights.
2. GMATwhiz course helped me change my unstructured approach to question solving into a structured methodology. Earlier I was randomly solving questions from GMATclub. This course helped me in organizing my strategy by way of building a habit to ‘prethink’ and understand how to approach any particular questions.
3. Personalization also helped me to prepare for the exam in short period. By taking diagnostic quiz, course can be personalized; and if we do not do well in a quiz, personalized quizzes are also served.
4. Quizzes in WhizQuiz helped me improve my timing and pacing in the exam. Practicing solving 10 questions in 18-15 minutes helped me improve my speed without compromising on the accuracy.
5. Mock tests helped me be prepared for long sittings without losing concentration. Post test analysis gave specific insights into strengthens and weaknesses that can be worked upon.
I was happy with course and after the examination, I also took consultancy service for my college application. Saquib was again my consultant. Here again, it was an absolute delight to work with him. He listened to education and professional journey patiently and helped me present best version of myself through coherent stories in essays. He gave video feedbacks for my essays and reviewed multiple versions of each essay till I got a good essay. He was always prompt in his reply, and never missed any deadline, all this while accepting my requests for meetings at odd timings.

Overall the course is good for scoring 700+ on GMAT.
Quant section is more than sufficient to get 50.
Verbal section - RC is very good. The questions test your ability to decipher and comprehend the passage to a minute level. Solving questions of such level will help you increase your RC score to a great extent.
CR is also sufficient as the level is equal to offical GMAT.

The best part is the number of tests that the course offers. You will get 5 tests of GMAT whiz and 5 test of 800 score. These tests though are not an exact replica of official tests, they help to fine tune your timing to a great extent.

Course GMATWhiz GMAT Prep

Location Online

I prepared with another institute before res-starting my prep with GMAT Whiz again.
My score on the first attempt was 690.

I started my preparation with GMAT Whiz in July/August 2022.
With three to four months of consistent preparation, I improved my score from 690 to 750.

The best things about GMAT Whiz that helped me improve were -
1. Quant section - They don’t focus on teaching a lot of shortcuts, unlike my previous course. The approach was logical and methodological. Their course modules include concept boosters and practice questions intertwined with videos; this aspect helps one learn and apply the concept simultaneously. Their online practice platform is perfect for improving speed by the level of questions and time constraints.
2. Verbal Section - Earlier, I had to learn lots of exceptions and arbitrary rules that felt very difficult to apply in sentence correction questions. I couldn’t build a specific thought procedure for critical reasoning questions. And both of these combined also led to lower accuracy rates in RC ques.

With Gmat whiz’s logical approach of breaking sentences at the right point to understand the meaning of SC questions and keeping grammar rules simple, I was able to build a sense of what is correct and what is not. Their CR methodology/frameworks are just remarkable. They put you on the right track and correct pre-thinking to get to the correct answer more accurately and quickly.

3. Another good thing was, they assign a mentor to each student. I used to have regular catchups with my mentor to discuss progress on the study plan, share any difficulties I was facing, and prepare strategies for the next steps (curated to my strengths and weaknesses).

When I first began my GMAT preparation journey, it had been more than 10 years since I had last taken a math class or utilized anything beyond basic addition/subtraction/multiplication/division. Thankfully, this was not an issue once I began studying with TTP. The sections are laid out in a logical manner so they build on one another, and each section goes incredibly in-depth on the content being covered. After studying exclusively with TTP for three months, I earned a 740 on the GMAT on my first attempt. As a native speaker with strong verbal skills, it is hard for me to assess the efficacy of TTP Verbal, but I would 100% recommend TTP Quant.

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

I got to know about e-GMAT from a friend of mine when I had just started to research about GMAT prep. I hadn't looked at any material till then and luckily, didn't need to after as well. e-GMAT was a perfect match for me mainly because of how structured its course structure is.

I found the verbal section of the course the most helpful and I spent considerable time on it (about 2 months).
I started with Sentence Correction (SC) as it was a clear lacking point in the only Mock I had given prior to taking the course. (First SigmaX Mock - 540 Q40 V24). Evidently, I needed to improve drastically in both verbal and quant. The e-GMAT course helped in just that.

The depth to which the SC course was taught was incredible. The core skills such as identifying grammatical errors, understanding meaning, and answer choices analysis got firmly built due to the course. The Critical Reasoning section was equally thorough. I started solving OG questions after going through the entire verbal e-GMAT course and found all the questions pretty doable mainly becuase of the core skills and concepts learned in the course. One can safely assume to tackle even the toughest or the trickiest verbal questions accurately if one goes through the whole verbal course meticulously.

The Quant section helped with that extra nudge required during the last few weeks of my prep. I studied specific sub-topics from the course where I thought my speed was lacking and that helped a lot in the actual exam.

Overall e-GMAT was undoubtedly instrumental in helping me achieve a decent score of 720 (Q49 V38) on my first attempt. The thing that helped me the most was not getting distracted by multiple study sources/strategies. I stuck to one study schedule without distortion and gave it all while executing it.

Hi Apoorv1999,

Thank you for posting your review!

Congratulations on the 720 score! Your improvement of 180 points from 540 is phenomenal and a testament to the hard work and effort that you have put into your preparation!

I can see that you have really given it all during your preparation. In SC, the time and effort you put into mastering the meaning-based approach really paid off. The image below shows that you were clearly able to maintain 90th percentile ability-

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Apoorv1999-SC-90thPercentile

In CR as well, I can see that you took the time to go into the depths of the approach and then spent the time to master the same. This meticulous attention to detail enabled you to achieve a 14 point Verbal improvement from V24 (34th percentile) to V38 (84th percentile) with ease.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Apoorv1999-CR-Improvement

You used the Quant course to streamline your preparation. By using the modular nature of the course, you were able to focus on your weaknesses and convert them to strengths.

You really hit the nail on the head when you said what helped you get to success was a laser-sharp focus on just one source of study. By streamlining your prep in this way, you were able to put yourself on the best path to success.

All the very best in your next steps Apoorv1999!!

I have taken the GMAT after preparing for almost a year with another prep team. But I scored 680 while my target was 740. So, I decided to start with another prep company and I came across TTP for the good. I immediately bought 7-day access. The product is well structured with great UI and an amazing support team that responds in under 2-5 hours. The VA course covers everything that can ever be tested on the GMAT. Even after preparing for the GMAT for a year, I found a lot of information in the VA course. In QA, I used the accelerated plan which worked best for me as I had already scored Q50 before, so I didn't want to spend more time on QA. Only with the chapter tests for QA, I was able to achieve Q50 again. Anybody planning or studying for GMAT should check out TTP once as the complete course is available for just $1(7 days).
