Course e-GMAT Mentorship

Location Online

Last Mile Push Review and Support:
I reached out to e-GMAT when I was not able to get my target score on my first attempt. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience with e-GMAT prep even though I was not able to get the target score improvement.
The first thing I would highlight is my e-GMAT mentor Rashmi's support throughout my prep. She was always approachable, provided me with detailed guidance on my focus areas, and drew up comprehensive test-readiness programs which prepared me for the GMAT. Her encouraging words and attitude kept me focused on the prep and GMAT.

e-GMAT's platform is also very user-friendly. I appreciated the ability to review the questions I got wrong or struggled with, and the prompt analytics which gave me immediate feedback on my areas of improvement.

On the course itself:
Quant:
I liked the quant course. I would rate it a little harder than the actual exam, as though I struggled with some hard questions on e-GMAT, my ability on the test was significantly better. That said, I like the in-depth approach to the topics, the PACE alternative to skip over the courses I was comfortable with, and I can say it really helped me improve my Algebra and Geometry ability.

Verbal
The verbal course was comprehensive and made me master CR and SC. I definitely came away from the course with a better clarity on how to approach the CR , SC and RC sections as the GMAT is a lot about test taking ability rather than pure understanding sometimes. That said, I would rate the verbal course to be easier than the actual attempt. Caveat is my limited experience, but I scored 42+ consistently on the course and was unable to convert this on actual test day.

Areas of improvement:
I feel the verbal course can be improved, especially on RC and SC.

Overall, keep up the good work! And thanks for the help.

Dear Masters1711,

Thank you for your kind words. A score of 720 with a Q50 and a V38 is a commendable effort to say the least. It puts you in the top 6%ile of the entire 180,000 test-takers. Very few people are able to reach that score. So, our heartiest congratulations to you for that feat!

I loved the fact that you mentioned about enjoying our PACE AI in Quant and how it helped you save time and let you focus on your weaker areas. You followed the suggestions from the PACE AI to the “T”. You saved almost 9 hours of study time, which is almost 33% of the total course duration of 27 hours in Algebra. The same is highlighted in the image below –

It was because of your determination that you were able to master SC and CR subsections. Your diligence with the plans translated into exceptional improvement in both the subsections. You not only just improved your accuracy but also maintained your abilities through consistent scores in the quizzes in the last few weeks of preparation. The same can be seen in the image below which shows your accuracy progression in the CR subsection.

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

It was a pleasure being a part of your journey and we wish you all the best for your future endeavours. We are sure that you will face everything in your life with the same grit and determination.

Regards,

Rashmi

I had enrolled in GMATWHIZ in the last week of november,2021.I had read good reviews of the course prior to enrollment, so I went with the course.The mentorship provided to me was top notch.Zartaj and saquib were there to assist and guide me in every step.The inbuilt AI engine helped in structuring the study plan to optimize my study time and to pin-point any weakness.
Both the verbal and quant courses are exceptional.The content of GMATWhiz is comprehensive and addresses each GMAT-based question independently in each module of verbal and quant.In verbal, the method on intended meaning and breaking down a sentence really helped me in my SC section.
I would highly recommend this course to any diligent aspirant willing to ace the gmat.

Hello Reader,
This is my review of e-GMAT. Spoiler alert, this is a positive review ( I know there are already too many positive reviews for e-GMAT, but what to say, they are efficient and effective ). I decided to prepare using e-GMAT after watching a couple of e-GMAT SC videos on YouTube. I took their first mock, which is free, and scored 710. I got excited thinking that I could score really well on the actual test if I prepared well, so I enrolled with e-GMAT for 2 months starting June 22, 2022. I skipped master comprehension and directly went to the SC section. It is really well planned and delivered, with pre and post-quizzes in most sections of every module. The meaning-based approach used by them is amazing. It really makes life easier while attempting SC questions. After completing the SC section, I attempted another mock and scored 650. I was shocked, but nevertheless, I kept on going. I completed half of the CR section and around 10% of the RC section. My scores in the rest of the 3 mocks were 730, 680, and 720. I constantly kept getting better in quant (48, 49, 50, 50, 51). However, my verbal score varied like a cosine curve ( 39, 30, 39, 32, 37 ). I couldn’t understand the reason behind it, so I ignored it. After my subscription ended, I started practising from GMAT club as I wasn’t confident in my verbal ability. I solved around 200 SC questions on GMAT club ( getting most of them wrong but never trying to address the core reason ). I thought that after giving 6 mocks ( 5 e-GMAT, 1 official: 680 ), and practising so many questions, I should be able to handle the actual test easily. I booked the test for September 3rd. A lot of things happened that day, but even if they didn't, I would’ve still scored nowhere near my target (740). I ended up getting 620 (Q49, V26). Disappointed and tired, I couldn’t think of the next step.
The next day, I emailed e-GMAT and asked for help. Rashmi replied after analysing my ESR. She asked me to extend the course and work with her to bridge the conceptual gaps, especially in verbal. Last time I took a lot of things for granted, didn't complete either the CR or the RC section and didn’t do any cementing at all. This time I tried to follow her instruction to the point. I saw considerable improvement across every verbal section. I finally started using the meaning-based approach for SC and pre-thinking for CR questions. Eliminating the wrong options in SC became much easier, and my timing also improved significantly. I scored 720 (Q50, V37) and 740 (Q50, V38) in official mocks 3 and 4 respectively. All of this was possible because Rashmi showed confidence in me right from the beginning of my preparation for the second attempt, gave great feedback and suggestions, and helped me understand all my shortcomings and conceptual gaps. She has been a great mentor and helped me throughout my preparation for the second attempt.
I attempted the GMAT again on October 19th and scored a 730 (Q50, V38).
PS: I hate reading and have read no more than 2 books in my lifetime. Whatever English grammar I know is through daily conversations, Netflix, and Amazon Prime :p . So if I can get V38 then anyone can.
There are certain things that I liked about the course and the eGMAT experience:
(a) It is a well-structured course with quality material.
(b) The verbal section was really helpful in improving my verbal score through the application of the meaning-based approach in SC and the pre-thinking approach in CR.
(c) For SC and CR this is one of the best courses that are available.
(d) Questions on Scholaranium are of great help after learning concepts and applications. For verbal, the variety of questions helps cover most of the patterns observed in the actual test. For quant, the questions on scholaranium are actually tougher than the questions in official mocks or the actual exam, but that helps to get your concepts cemented.
(e) The support team answers all the queries quite quickly (within 12–18 hours), which really helps to move on, and motivates you to ask questions freely on the forum.
(f) Mentorship support during the preparation helped me with a structured approach to preparation as opposed to the haphazard way in which I was doing it
(g) For mocks, I feel that nothing can compare to the official mocks in setting a benchmark for the expected score. Nevertheless, e-GMAT has done a great job of making the mocks as authentic as possible.

Things to learn from my experience :
• Follow a structured approach.
• A meaning-based approach to SC is the only way to GMAT SC.
• Focus more on incorrect questions, spending sufficient time on understanding why you got that question wrong, rather than solving 300 questions. Solve 100 but know the reason behind accepting or rejecting an answer choice.
• Even if you’re decent at quant practice a few questions daily to keep your mind sharp.
• GMAT is not CAT, so do not focus on giving a lot of mocks, rather give 3-4 but analyze them in a detailed manner. ( Trust me, this works )
• Join e-GMAT if you want all of the above in one place.
• If you’re an Indian student, then do not forget to take your passport with you to the exam center.

Dear AkshayIITR,

Congratulations on reaching the top 4%ile of GMAT test takers with a score of 730! A 110-point improvement overall, with a 12-point improvement in Verbal from 41st percentile to 84th percentile (V26 to V38) are commendable feats to achieve.

I was as elated as you were when I received the below email about your exam results.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/AkshayIITR-GMAT-Score-Email

Coincidently, the day you contacted us after your first attempt was Teacher’s Day. As mentors, we were aware right away that you had the potential to get your desired score if we could just harness it in a more structured manner.

To begin with, I am so happy that how beautifully you followed the given study plan as shown below.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/AkshayIITR-Study-Plan

You rightly mentioned that students should focus on quality rather than quantity. Solving more questions or giving more mocks will not help as much as analysing every quiz attempt strategically will do.

Please find below the image reflecting a glimpse of how you used to review your quiz attempt even if you scored a 100% in that quiz. This practice is very important for all GMAT aspirants. Regardless of whether a student received a score of 0% or 100%, he or she should strategically evaluate all the solutions to determine what errors were made and whether the answers that were accurate were obtained by using the proper strategies.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/AkshayIITR-Good-Study-Habits

It was because of your dedication that you could improve your Verbal score from 41st percentile to 84th percentile (V26 to V38).

It was a sheer pleasure that we could be a part of your journey and I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

Regards,

Rashmi

The TTP Syllabus is an excellent addition for anyone preparing for the GMAT. It covers all exam topics but can be easily adapted to individual needs. The division between topics is very clear and the examples provided are excellent. There are also many practice tests for each topic covered in the GMAT. This is an excellent resource. The Target Test Prep GMAT Quant course is perfect for improving your quant score. I have used this course for self-study for 4 months and found it very helpful. The exercises are the most realistic I have ever seen. The solution is the clearest and most comprehensive I've read. The learning platform is student-friendly and enables rapid progress. In general, this course is beneficial and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to improve their score.

I would highly recommend TTP for GMAT prep. What I love most about it is that they have every lesson broken down into chapters, and tests/quiz after each chapter to reinforce that concept. This requires more concentration than video lectures and initially might seem more difficult, but it's a much more efficient way to learn and understand concepts.

I also love being able to create quizzes and analyze my mistakes allowing me to focus my efforts better. On top of their great material, their UI is really nice as well and makes studying a lot more pleasing.

I would encourage everyone to take their free trial. They provide access to the full course and no review can tell you as much as the real thing. I'm not surprised at all that they are the top rated course.

Solely using TTP, I was able to improve my quant score from a baseline of 36 to a 48 on test day. I achieved steady incremental improvement thanks to the incredibly detailed answer explanations as well as the tracking and analytics the program provides for all wrong answers. While the lessons were helpful, the myriad question sets and practice tests were the real difference maker. The program sets test score goals as you progress through each lesson and stage and enables you to benchmark your progress and really hone in on the subjects that require the most attention. I had a quick turnaround to take the GMAT but was still able to get to the point, through the repetition demanded by the TTP program, where I felt comfortable with every type of quant question and every way in which the exam could try to trick me. The program includes a handy tips section that offers helpful reminders about study traps and offers test day strategies. Every practice test in the program was the exact same format as the GMAT, which made the transition to test day easy.

I had started my GMAT prep quite clueless, thinking that just solving multiple questions would enable me to ace the exam with a respectable score. Still, even after attempting official practice tests, my score was stagnant at 680. This was when I discovered gmatclub and learned about e-GMAT's online course.

After going through several positive reviews, I decided to go with it and was instantly impressed with the high-quality resources they provided. The course never made me feel incomplete, from interactive videos to video solutions for each practice question. Also, the Verbal Scholaranium and Sigma-X Mock questions were very helpful in assessing my performace and returned insightful statistics upon completion.

To top it all off, I was offered access to their LMP program towards the end of my course, wherein a mentor guided me every day on the tests to take and topics to revise.

I would recommend this course to anyone without a second thought. I plan on attempting the GMAT again as I didn't achieve my desired score on the test day, and would surely go with e-GMAT again in a heartbeat.

Hi ratneshmittal,

Congratulations on the 710!

Overcoming a plateau requires a lot of resilience and I must commend your diligence and consistency throughout your preparation which, indeed improved your score to the 90th percentile.

Your scores in Scholaranium and Mocks clearly reflect the effort that you have put in which has translated into an exceptional improvement in Hard questions accuracy. Please find below an image showcasing you consistently hitting 80 percentile accuracy in CR Hard questions.

A lot of times, in life, as is in GMAT, things don’t go according to plan even when you are completely prepared for it. But the 2 qualities that are hallmarks of success diligence and consistency – are evident in your continued efforts and are reflected by your stats.

Hence, I can say with surety, that you are well on your way to a massive improvement, and I am very sure that you will kill it in your next attempt. All the best for your next steps!

Let's work towards your 740+!

I bought a subscription to TTP after my friend recommended it to me. I was so lost trying to find an effective yet digestible way to study for the GMAT, and I was pleasantly surprised with the TTP course. The Study Plan it provides is tailored to your score goals and simply lays out content, tests, quizzes, etc. My GMAT studying was a bit rocky from putting it off because of a girlfriend to going through a breakup to eventually scoring a 720. Throughout everything, though, I really attribute TTP to my sustained grasp of the material and its Study Plan that really drilled the material into my memory.

Highly recommend TTP to anyone looking to score high on the GMAT at a bargain.

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

My background and my score before purchasing e-GMAT course-
I am non-native English speaker and I did my primary and secondary education in my mother tongue – Marathi. So, I was not much accurate with English grammar, lengthy sentences and big passages. I come from engineering background. Before starting my GMAT preparation, I took a mock to see what my starting score is. I searched on Google for a mock test. Coincidently, I gave e-GMAT sigma-X mock. My score was 520 (Q44 V19). So, there was long way to my target score of 700+. By the way, e-GMAT gives excellent analysis of all sigma-X test result.

Why I chose e-GMAT-
As verbal was my weak area, I was looking for course that shows its effectiveness on verbal. When I analyzed all courses available on Gmatclub, e-GMAT was one that captured my attention the most. After going through free trial, I found the course worth to put my efforts into.

My experience with e-GMAT-
Master comprehension module - At start of verbal section, there is master comprehension module. It taught me some techniques that helped me understand and recollect maximum information from I read. In my view, e-GMAT verbal course is great for non-native speakers.
SC module- 3 step process that SC course suggests is excellent way to solve the SC question. Sentence structure breakdown, meaning-based approach, and asking probe question were the keys to my improvement in SC.
CR and RC module- By following e-GMAT Pre-thinking approach for CR, You understand the argument so thoroughly that choice elimination becomes a lot easier. RC became my very strong area after following the e-GMAT process of getting immersed in the passage.
Cementing process- cementing process of e-GMAT basically made me so much familiar with concept and process of solving both quant and verbal questions that I did not forget what I studied as time passed. Queries that I posted on forum were answered very logically. I was really impressed with analysis that e-GMAT SMEs provided.
Finally, strategy experts did excellent analysis of my mock tests and gave me action plan to improve my weak areas. All plans given were impressive and because of those plans I started scoring 700 on the sigma-X mocks. These plans filled the gaps in my concepts and solving process. After this, I went through official guides, Official advanced question bank and gmatclub quizzes. On the official prep mocks as well, I started scoring 680 to 730. Finally, on test day(6th October 2022) I scored 710 (Q50 V36).


My suggestions to someone who is purchasing the course-
I think it’s the best course. So, you can start your preparation with high energy after this choice. 6 process skills that taught in quant might seem too much in the beginning, but if you follow them, they really contribute to your accuracy. I suggest following process steps very carefully. Initially they might seem time consuming, but after some practice they turn out to be time savers. I suggest taking help of SMEs and strategy experts whenever you are stuck. If you are already very good at quant, then, in my view, you don't need to go through all lessons and quizzes.

All the best for your preparations!
Regards,
Sameer

Hi Jadhavsameer41,

Congratulations on the massive 190 point improvement!! Improvement on this scale is rare, and the fact that you were able to achieve such a vast improvement while being a non-native speaker with a history of Marathi-medium education is truly astounding.

What I find truly wonderful is how you zeroed in almost immediately on the skills that you would need to improve from a V19- that comprehension and reading were the cornerstones you needed to establish. You put in the work to master this core skill and the fruits of this labour can be seen in how well you performed on the course modules as well.

Look at this snapshot to see Jadhavsameer’s incredible course stats -

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Jadhavsameer-Course-Stats

Once you set these foundations in place, you moved to gain mastery through the cementing process, taking curated quizzes and ensuring that you were clear and thorough with all the concepts and processes. Where there were gaps, you used Scholaranium to fill them in and imrpove more.

Look at this image to see how Jadhavsameer improved their SC ability through cementing-

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Mastering-SC-Through-Cementing

I also love how you used every asset we have to offer to the maximum extent, such as SME support over forums and mentor support over mails.

Spending the time to build foundations, achieve mastery and become test ready really paid off with a 710 on test day. I am sure that with your grit and tenacity, whatever you decide to pursue next will undoubtedly be a success!

It was a pleasure working with you Sameer and I wish you all the very best for your future endeavours.

Hi Ver23,
I started studying for Gmat around august 2021. My first GMAT attempt was in july 2022(score 620) and 2nd attemp was in oct. 2022(710). In total I studied for around a Year and 2 months while working full time. On workdays i studied for around 2 hours, usually in the morning, and on weekends i studied for 5+ hours. I think the key is that I studied consistently during the period of 14 months. Along with consistent timetable, i think, studying using organized and proven course/material is important.

thanks. best luck.

A course that focuses on fundamentals to build concepts. It was a great fit for me as I like to learn every topic in-depth instead of taking shortcuts. The UI/UX of the course is great as well. Being a front-end developer myself, I really appreciated it.
I first spent 1$ to get started with the trial subscription. Immediately, I understood that this was the course I was looking for. The number of questions, especially in quant, is exhausting but worth it. Verbal too, meticulously builds on one concept after another - it is all very well designed and implemented. Finally, the motivational videos from Scott are a wonderful feature!
