Course e-GMAT Online 360

For me, GMAT preparation started with me dabbling in different available study materials, instead of a systematic approach. Although I did do my research before purchasing e-GMAT's online course, my casual approach in preparations would continue for some more time. During this period, however, my understanding of Sentence Correction improved gradually.
When I started out, Sentence Correction seemed like the only difficult segment for me. But thanks to the detailed study materials and ample test materials available on the e-GMAT platform, I ended up scoring a 99th percentile in my first GMAT attempt. I faltered on things that I always thought I had covered and hence did not put in the requisite effort. The only reason I could score a 99th percentile on the section that should have been my biggest weakness is that I spent almost 70% of my preparation time on this section (both concepts and short tests in Scholaranium). So, if you are willing to put in the necessary effort, e-GMAT will provide you the guidance- things like Meaning-based approach and Strategic pausing proving most helpful for me

The Sigma-X mocks are also a pretty accurate representation of the actual test.

Talking of guidance, Dhananjay (aka DJ) from the e-GMAT team deserves a special mention as well- he helped me streamline my preparation in the week prior to the test and has continued to support with a detailed analysis of my test performance.

Dear Aditya,
Thank you for the special mention, it warms my heart that you found my advice helpful. Congratulations on the 710 too! 😊

Scoring the 99th percentile on SC is no easy feat and takes three important components –

1) Understand the meaning and structure of a sentence inside out
2) Being able to translate that information into actionable information to make decisions on which grammatical errors to weed out
3) Visualise each answer choice and not fall in common traps

The secret sauce however was the “Pause Points” approach. Most people skip these files, but only the smarter ones stick with them.

I wish you all the best for your future and applications!

Warm Regards,
DJ

Very good course indeed for complete GMAT Prep. This course provides IR and AWA prep as well. Specially the quant section is amazing. The quality and quantity of questions are good. I did not need to refer to any other external material.
Further, the test series is really really amazing. It has 15 GMAT like tests and the average score is actually close to the actual GMAT score. The test review not only provides the correct answer to each question, but also provides a reasonable explanation of each answer choice. Strongly recommended to every MBA aspirant. Thanks Experts Global team for this.

After a thorough research and speaking to a lot of friends I decided to go with the E-GMAT course for my GMAT prep. And I was not disappointed.
The two things that stood out for me were the comprehensiveness of the course and the amazing mentorship of DJ (who I can’t thank enough). Though initially was lazy to go through every module and skipped through some, DJ made me realise that there is no substitute for diligence. I would highly recommend spending a little more building the foundation, it goes along way.

The Sentence Correct course is the bible. It comprehensively covers all the concepts. Pre-thinking is not only absolute mantra to crack CR but it also helps in RC. Going through E-GMAT CR Module engrains the pre thinking in a manner that it becomes a second nature.

Sincere thanks to DJ and the E-GMAT team!

Hi BlackWidow28,

Thank you for posting your review and appreciating our engagement.

I still think you need to verify your 730, but for all purposes when we first spoke about you improving your score from 700 – I know you felt the need to improve your score to a 94th+ percentile given how competitive applications to the top schools were during this year’s application season.

Thus, we set out on a path to improve your Verbal score whilst you continue to work on your applications. I really appreciate the fact that you took my advice because most high scoring students like doing things their own way and by doing so, I think you understood why you falter on certain CR questions and how to build your ability on SC too. This was visible in your scores in the test readiness phase.

I wish you success for your B-School applications and future.

Regards,
Dhananjay(DJ)

e-GMAT: My Success Story

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Course e-GMAT Online Intensive

I cannot put into words how thankful I am for enrolling at the e-GMAT. I am now really a fan!

First of all, a quick context: when I took my first mock test, I was completely disappointed by my low score and I thought I would never make it to a 700+ due to not having an Engineering background. I was studying by solving as many questions as I could and was stuck at 600.

And then, I decided to go for e-GMAT. I was presented with a new way of preparing for the GMAT, as the course focuses much more on learning the theory and how to apply the processes than on solving large numbers of questions. And this is the catch!

e-GMAT offers modules for each of the subjects covered in the test and I went at first for SC, which was my weakest spot. I was constantly getting less than 40% of questions right. With the e-GMAY SC course, I learned how to structure my approach to each question in a way that when I proceed to look at the answers, all becomes clear. I learned what I should not do (jump to options or choose the one that sounds better). After going through the whole SC course, I learned the meaning-based approach, which further empowered me in this area, taking my accuracy up to 90% in medium-hard level SC questions. I was stunned.

As I know that my Quant was really weak too, I proceeded to the quant sections of the course. Again, I would have a diagnostic quiz, get -30% of the questions right, go through the modules and do another quiz and get up to 100% right. It really feels like Payal and the other people who explain each subject and question are patiently giving you the tools to kill ANY question while clearing your mind of doubts even before you have the time to fully think about them.

The personalized study plan, which allows you to input your current score, the hours you will be available per day, and the core you need, completely organizes your study schedule. As an intern in banking with very little free time, this really made a huge difference.

I must also highlight the fantastic tools for self-evaluation. The Sigma-X mocks, which are insanely accurate, helped me pinpoint exactly where I would have more opportunities to improve. The Scholaranium 2.0 has been paramount for the learning process as well with its advanced analytics.

I forgot to mention but the magic behind the courses is the 3 Stages of Learning approach. At first, learn the theory, then learn how to apply it, and then train your ability to solve questions with the cementing process. By not cutting any corners and following exactly what the course tells us to do, I was really able to improve in a very short time.

I must also mention e-GMAT team's attention and care. Whenever I had any doubt, I would email the support team or post a query in a question and in less than 10 hours I would get an answer (10 hours is no time if you consider that I am in Brazil and the support team is in India.). A special thanks to Dhananjay Lowe for his attention and for helping me through the process, it has been a pleasure to count on him.

And lastly, I would like to say that e-GMAT really thought me subjects that will not be forgotten even after the test itself. The verbal part helped me even with writing my motivation letters, as I would spot mistakes that I was making and that I used to ignore. I really fest that my writing skills improved!

To finish, I would like to thank the whole e-GMAT team! I thank you for helping me go through this at times stressful phase in such a peaceful and fun way. I may sound odd, but I will honestly miss Payal's explanations, the lives during the weekends, and the overall interaction with the team.

For those of you who are undecided about how to study for this test: go for e-GMAT!

Hey GuiCeitlin,

Thank you so much for being a fan and a wonderful brand ambassador but we are as grateful to you for being such a wonderful student. Your journey from a 610 has been so inspiring for a multitude of reasons. I would like to take up this space to talk about your mini-wins 😊

Mini-Win 1 – Accepting the flaw in your SC approach and committing to strategic review and the cementing process

Your Confession: https://success.e-gmat.com/Student-Confession

Your Scores post re-work: https://success.e-gmat.com/SC-Cementing-Chart-G

You decided to postpone your test by a month to ensure you could do the course in the right way. That was a very wise and courageous thing to do at that point.

Mini-Win 2 – Doing the Quant course deliberately but using the Quant 2.0 course architecture you saved over 8 hours.

Taking the diagnostic quizzes gives you an edge since it allows the course to pick and choose what you should and should not do.

ALG P.A.C.E. Time Savings: https://success.e-gmat.com/PACE-ALG-Time-Savings

I really appreciate that you wrote about an important pillar of our course – the support system we have built-in place. We cater to all times zones (including BRT) by ensuring that we have teams working 24*7 and all days of the year. It’s one of the hardest and most under-appreciated jobs but when students like you mention it, it makes all our effort worthwhile.

We will back to you till the end and beyond, you know that right?

Once an e-GMATer, always an e-GMATer.

PS – All the best for your next attempt! I know you can score a 720+

Warmest Regards,
Dhananjay(DJ)

I took private mentoring sessions of Arvind sir who is associated with GMAT whiz for quants section . In my previous GMAT attempts I could never score more than 46. He was very supportive and my maths concepts got crystal clear within short span of 2 months . With One to one mentoring sessions, I was able to work on my weak topics in a structured manner . He was readily available for clearing my doubts at any point of time and was quite flexible in his overall approach . I was able to learn different methodologies of solving a quants question by putting in less time. His approach was quite practical rather than methodical and theoretical. I was able to improve my score in quants from 46 to 50 with the help of his teaching methodology.
I would like to strongly recommend him for GMAT quants for private mentoring sessions if one wants to improve his/her quants score . Prior to him, I took coaching from various renowned quants faculties but could not achieve the desired results .He is the best quants faculty , I ever came across during my entire GMAT preparation phase

Dear Martin,

Congratulations on your score of 700 on your first attempt! I am very happy for you.

Getting a 700 on the first attempt is no mean feat, it requires diligence, resilience, and determination.

You made sure you did the course well getting good scores in them. Post that sufficient practice made it easy for you to prepare for the test (Test Readiness).

The process-oriented preparation ensured you did well on your test. Kudos to your efforts!

I wish you all the best for the next steps.

My GMAT Debrief

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

I started my GMAT preparation in June 2021. Before beginning my preparation, I was in doubt about subscribing to any online course for GMAT because being an engineer, I was good enough in Quant and only needed more self practice, and being an ICSE student in 10th standard and pretty good in English, I thought any online course can’t teach me anything extra and only practicing more questions is what is going to get me through. So I bought the GMAT Official Guide 2022 and practiced each and every question, even revised my mistakes and revisited every wrong question. When I had completed the OG 22, I thought of appearing the first two official tests from mba.com. Scored pretty well in both with a 680 and 700 and gained more confidence. So I planned on appearing all the tests from the online test series of Manhattan and practiced questions side by side from GMAT Club from topics on which I committed most of the mistakes. I also had some study material for verbal from which I studied selected topics which I was not good at. As usual Quant section of the test series was very tough and the panicked me started emphasizing more on Quant and less on Verbal. Also, scores in verbal were okay (V 33- 34).
When I saw that I had gained much confidence, I appeared for the GMAT in October 2021. Scored a 650 with Q50 and a V28! Could not believe the score. Thought how on Earth could I go so wrong in Verbal ! Back that evening when I sat back and pondered on my preparation, I realized I had only gone through and understood the study material for verbal but I never learnt how to apply that learnt knowledge in avoiding mistakes. So then I decided to appear for the GMAT once again, now with proper coaching in verbal. At that time, E-gmat came to my rescue. The questions I was asked in my consultation call were whether I got confused with the final two answer choices after applying process of elimination, also whether I understood the meaning before moving to the answer choices. My answers to the questions were yes and no respectively. I realized those were my real problems. As I had only one month more at hand before the application deadlines I was offered a one-month E-GMAT course and immediately a mentor was assigned to me. I would say DJ was very patient with me and understanding, guiding me at every step and telling me what next to do. Also, the course and its modules were very informative. By going through the meaning-based approach and first finding errors in the original sentence and then moving to the answer choices, I started to actually feel that I was improving in sentence correction. Also, pre-thinking in critical reasoning and summarizing in reading comprehension were the tools that reduced my time taken on each question. Also, the emphasis on maintaining an error log really helped me focus on my mistakes. The study plan was extensive but by studying diligently I started getting more and more confident in verbal. After completing the module, I appeared again for the GMAT and this time I could score a 690 with a verbal improvement to V34.
With this, I realized that only knowing stuff is not important. Having a proper strategy and the right approach to solve the questions in the GMAT pattern is equally important.

First Attempt - 750

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement N/A

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

I was unsure about signing up for a GMAT prep course for a very long time and spent a considerable amount of time preparing for the test before signing up. I completed the OG (twice) and took every mock available on the internet but my scores were extremely inconsistent. While there was a definite sense of slow improvement, my mock scores ranged from as low as 670 to as high as 740 and I couldn’t be sure exactly what I could reasonably expect on test day. I also felt like I couldn’t confidently assess and pinpoint my weaknesses to target them and secure my target score and so I decided that the best course of action was to sign up for an online GMAT course to provide some structure to my preparation.

During this time, I found E-GMAT through their YouTube channel where they upload weekly webinars which are conducted free of cost so I decided to go ahead and attend a few. These webinars were what convinced me to sign up for this course as their primary focus was on mastering concepts and establishing processes. This approach resonated with me because I felt that I would be able to bridge the gaps in my conceptual understanding of certain topics while identifying my weaknesses.

The Quant course is extremely through and focuses on establishing a solid conceptual foundation and then the process skills required to solve problems and how to apply them to solve even the hardest questions on the GMAT. This focus on improving my process skills and maintaining an error long were instrumental in improving my quant score as I was able to identify exactly where I tended to make mistakes and ensure I didn’t repeat them.
E-GMAT’s quant question bank is very comprehensive and difficulty level of the questions is higher than those in the official guide or GMAT prep. Solving these harder questions in under 2 minutes is essential in doing well on test day and really tests the depth of your conceptual understanding.

The Verbal Course is very good and builds right from the basics covers every area tested by GMAT in SC, RC and CR. In CR particularly, the pre-thinking strategy taught in the course helped me save a lot of time. Before using pre-thinking, I used to barely be able to complete the verbal section in the mocks and after learning it, I felt like I was able to not only complete the section comfortably but also answer questions with much more confidence.

Additionally, While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about what we can expect from the actual exam we cannot analyze our performance and how we can improve. The Sigma-X mocks (by E-GMAT) are extremely detailed in this regard. As someone who has taken pretty much every free mock available, I can confidently say that the Sigma-X mocks are by far the most comprehensive in their assessment and will expose any weaknesses that you have.

Finally, the personalized support I was provided whilst taking the course was tremendous. The e-GMAT team was always accessible through email and were extremely prompt and detailed in their responses. I was lucky enough to be offered a spot in their Last Mile Program where they provide you a mentor in the last few weeks of preparation to really push you to achieve your target score and I believe these last few weeks were the most significant and focused because of the direction my mentor provided.

My mentor Atreya helped me identify specific weak points in particular concepts in verbal and provided me with a personalized plan of attack including personalized ppts, videos and quizzes. He also helped analyze my mock performances and really made me understand the importance of timing and maintaining pace during the test. He shared a timing matrix and instructed me on how to create specific quizzes on the platform to familiarize myself with it and get test ready.

As someone with a fairly hectic full-time job, my only expectation from a prep course was that I would identify my weak points and improve on them. The E-GMAT course went above and beyond this expectation with the amount of support and personalized insight I received and the detailed timing and performance analytics for each sub section and topic on the platform.

In summary, I believe that the E-GMAT course is the complete package that can provide you with everything you need to achieve your target score!

Dear Shankar,

Congratulations on your 750! I knew you would do it because you were very process-oriented in your entire journey as you followed the learning stages wholeheartedly.

When you do the above, success becomes predictive. Let’s understand 2 big in-prep achievements that led you to score a 750 on the actual test:

Great Accuracy in Medium and Hard questions: You maintained very good accuracies in medium and hard questions and have only solved 450 questions to reach there (Check Screenshot #1): this was possible because you reviewed your mistakes and kept working on them till you mastered.

Good Test Readiness scores: You have been consistent in your Test readiness quizzes in both Verbal and Quant (Check Screenshot #2). This made you ready for the mocks and then the test.

Screenshot #1: https://success.e-gmat.com/Verbal-Hard-Qs-Accuracy

Screenshot #2: https://success.e-gmat.com/Test-Readiness-Stats


One more point: We worked together in the last mile program only for 2 weeks and you reached your target! This makes me super happy. Your diligence and hard work have paid off.

I wish you all the best for the next steps!

Regards,

Atreya

This is one of the best self paced course for working professionals. If you complete this 700+ is sure shot. The detailed analytics view is very helpful. The course is designed to first teach you the basics then move on to higher difficulty which is ideal. Further, the 15 mock test are also amazing. The result will be very near to your actual score with max 10-20 points variance. There are flexible options also available to extend your subscription which i have never heard of. On top of all of this, the course fee is lower than most other courses on the internet which makes it the most preferred choice for all students. Take this without any second thoughts if you are staring afresh.

I started with a cold score of 650 and finished after 5 months of study with a score of 770. I used a few other resources outside of TTP, but TTP was by far the most useful.

I used the full Quant section of TTP, did the SC section twice, and only really used the skimmed the CR sections / did the CR tests, while skipping the RC section as the CR and RC were came more naturally.

Strongly recommend this platform - so convenient to have everything in one place and to track all errors so you know what to focus on after finishing the course. Marty was also very friendly and helpful with verbal and overall advice.

Thanks TTP!
