Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Location Online

I was connected to one of the members of eGMAT prior to my purchase of the course. In the meeting I was shown around their website, the portal, Scholaranium 2.0, and the verbal course material.

Post my enrollment in the course, I was invited to an onboarding session in which I was told about the best practices on using the Scholaranium 2.0 and the course videos. I took a diagnostic test and based on the assessment of that, I was assigned a mentor (DJ!!) who gave me feedback on my ability and created an overall plan for my preparation, which revolved around the target score that I had specified.

The overall course is designed in a 3-stage manner and students have an option to skip to Stage II if they are confident about their skill levels in certain sections. Based on personal taste, I decided to go through the entire course since I felt that skipping a few concept files would mean that I am impatient :P

I was constantly in touch with DJ, on a weekly basis. He would share hyper-specific and personalized plans, particularly designed for my weak areas. They ranged from concept files, how to take revision notes, how to effectively revise etc. What helped in these feedback sessions/plans was that DJ was very calm and confident about the process. "Trust the process" really resonated with me during this journey. Along with that, eGMAT, with Scholaranium 2.0, utilizes quiz data to analyze weak areas within each subsection (SC, CR etc) and based on that the support team guide you on corrective actions.

I essentially followed the plan and took the Sigma X mocks when I was asked to go for it. Towards the end of my preparation, DJ had noticed a weakness in SC and gave me a Sentence Correction booster plan, that I followed throughout the last week before my exam date. I think it helped me refresh my ability and ensure that my ability is fresh for the main day.

Overall, the 6 month long journey was a very planned one, with lots of useful feedback and data. I think the mentorship program was a really huge factor in ensuring that everything is planned and executed well. I am glad I made that choice ^_^

Thanks, eGMAT!

TTP was the only prep course I used for my GMAT preparation. After attempting a mock and getting a 640, I realized I needed to focus mainly in quant and sentence correction in order to improve my score. TTP was perfect for both, and after completing all content I got a 740 on the exam.

TTP sets up a study according to your current level and score goal. Then, it provides you with chapters for each topic, filled with very easy to follow explanations. After each chapter, you get a sequence of tests grouped by difficulty level, which are amazing for making sure you have understood all the concepts.

I studied for 2/3 hours every morning before work and used the platform for 4 months total. I chose the flexible preparation plan (month by month), but looking back I realize it would have been a better deal to get the longer packages. I'd definitely recommend TTP to any friend.

Course e-GMAT Mentorship

Instructor Atreya Roy

Location Online

I joined e-gmat in September and was a part of the Last Mile program. Before joining them I had a 690 on Gmat. The courses on verbal were fantastic and gave a structured process to approach a problem. Under the LMP, Atreya Roy gave the personalized support to identify weak areas, made me take a number of quizzes and helped me fix timing issues. He also analysed my sigma-mocks.

Unfortunately, my variance in mocks was something that we could not fix (710-760). Even though I ended up with a score I am not satisfied with and a low verbal I don't think e-gmat's course and support was in anyway lacking.

Hi Dkp,

First of all, congratulations on scoring a 700. I wish you would have gotten to the 730. You were well on the way, and I hoped you will reach there. Nevertheless, let us understand the key takeaways of your journey till now.

Breaking the 700-barrier needs persistence efforts, diligence, and resilience. You had portrayed all the above and hence you were able to get to a 700. From our journey, I found two major highlights:

1) I loved the fact that you completed the course diligently and that translated to your scores in Scholaranium. The screenshot below entails more information.

2) Perfect Test Readiness Scores: You had great scores in your Test Readiness quizzes that laid the path to a 740.

I wish you all the best for the next steps. In case you retake the GMAT, you know whom to dial 😉

TTP's comprehensive course helped me score a 730 (Q49 V42) on the GMAT. I was looking to primarily use the course to prepare for quant as the verbal course was still in its beta phase and was being built out. Surprisingly, the verbal course was as good the amazing quant course.Everything from the personalized lesson plans to the detailed analytics provided in the program was extremely helpful. The custom tests provided on the platform also proved to be useful especially during the last few weeks before the test . On top of all this , TTP also provides a lot of material to help prepare mentally and physically for the test as well

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

This was my fourth attempt at the GMAT and I knew that this was probably going to be my last chance at breaking the 700 barrier. I gave my first attempt back in 2017 and I got a below 600 score. It was self-study using Official books, Manhattan guides and YouTube videos. For my next two attempts in 2018 (610 Q44 V31) and 2019 (640 Q48 V31) I enrolled for e-GMAT but I could not do the course properly and had to rush through the course because of my personal and work commitments. The way e-GMAT course is built, I knew it was the only course that was going to help me break the 700 barrier. So naturally I decided to go with e-GMAT for my fourth attempt and it finally worked wonders as I was finally able to get a score of 710 Q49 V37.

I started with Verbal section, and covered each topic as designed in the course. e-GMAT SC course is pure gold. All the topics in SC is super simplified. Meaning based approach in SC set a solid foundation for solving SC questions. Once you understood what the sentence was trying to communicate, it was easy to eliminate all the incorrect answer choices by applying the grammar rules. Meaning based approach was especially helpful when you have two grammatically correct choices and you have to eliminate the incorrect choice. CR course is based on Pre-thinking approach. At the start of the course, all the different parts of CR passage such as premise, fact, claim, conclusion, main conclusion, author’s point etc are clearly defined. Honestly it takes time to completely hone the pre thinking approach to arrive at assumptions. But once you consistently follow the step-by-step method to find conclusion, falsification condition and assumptions, solving CR questions using pre thinking approach becomes easy. Once I fully got the hang of the approach, I never took notes while solving CR questions. Arriving at assumptions even before looking at the answer choices saves you a lot of time while eliminating answer choices, which eventually helped me in pacing the test. While solving RC questions you use few concepts learnt in CR course. I always felt that RC was my weak area. So, I focused more on improving my ability in SC and CR than on spending too much effort on RC. One thing that I did differently this time in my preparation was that I used the cementing quizzes after each section diligently to get the desired accuracy in medium and hard questions before proceeding with the next section. This helped solidify the concepts I learned during the initial stages. I realized the value of doing cementing quizzes when I returned to verbal course again after months of doing Quant section. When revising I did not spend much time relearning the concepts, saving myself a lot of time.

Qaunt course in e-GMAT has improved significantly from 2018. The new Quant 2.0 was detailed and the summary at the end of each section was helpful during revision. I followed the same approach for qaunt with regards to cementing quizzes – getting desired accuracies in both medium and hard questions, before proceeding with next topic.

Scholaranium is a wonderful tool from e-GMAT. This is super helpful when you want to solidify your learnings, improve time management and understand your strong or weak area by giving mixed quizzes – combining all the sections in verbal or different sections in quant. By giving multiple cementing quizzes, ability quizzes and ability quizzes you are improve both your accuracy and your ability while getting comfortable with skipping questions during the tests. Do not forget to do strategic review and make notes after each attempt and before giving another attempt. OG questions feel relatively easier than the questions in scholaranium.

Lastly, the support from the e-GMAT team was wonderful. They supported me with my queries, with my subscription extensions and also pointed out my weaknesses and a way forward whenever I mailed asking for help. Thank you e-GMAT!!

Dear Siddhesh31,

Congratulations on your 100-point improvement! Your perseverance is perhaps the single most important factor that got you across the line and while you used our course to do it, I must commend you on making the right choices instead of being complacent about your preparation.

Your review touches perhaps on everything that makes the course unique –

1) Content – The SC, CR, Quant 2.0 course
2) Scholaranium – We have just launched Schol 2.0
3) Support – We are available 24*7, 365 days a year
4) Diligence – Strategic Review and Error Logs

Instead of talking about everything, I wanted to talk about one feature that not a lot of people know about -

Timing Threshold: https://success.e-gmat.com/Hidden-Timing-Stats

If you have all these pillars and you are preparing for the GMAT, nothing can stop you from scoring a 700!

All the best Siddhesh.

I came across a number of different study resources in the year that I spent prepping for the GMAT and I can tell you without hesitation that TTP is hands down the best one for both quant and verbal like. Beyond it being so comprehensive, TTP is also great for what I think is such an underrated feature: ease of use. TTP is better than most other platforms in this regard--not to mention every physical GMAT prep book in which you have to flip back and forth between pages just to check your answers---because of its simple, clean design that helps you to maintain your focus and engagement during what can otherwise seem like a tedious process. Moreover, the sections are formatted in a way that makes sense--this was particularly helpful for me as I began my GMAT prep with little memory of the types of math skills that are covered. Lastly, this may be kind of cheesy but another thing I really appreciated about TTP was the quotes and words of encouragement that were interspersed throughout the lessons. Prepping for the GMAT can feel like a long and lonely road so the motivation definitely helps. I would highly recommend TTP for both quant and verbal prep.

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

When I took my first mock test on the official GMAT site I got a 560 (Q44, V21). I then saw a tutorial video on the GMAT club youtube channel by Payal, co-founder of e-GMAT. I read some reviews online and decided to invest and took the 2-month course. A strategy expert connected with me to help me prepare a plan to reach my overall planned score then it was 680. It was suited to my planning and hours I could invest per week. The video tutorials, application-based practice tests, scholaranium - cementing, and ability quizzes whose data is projected per section per topic showing average time and accuracy with detailed explanation for all questions were really helpful in improving my verbal score. During the last 3 weeks of my course, e-GMAT introduced PACE which really helped me go through the quant section in minimal time to improve my quant score.

I was not able to fully keep up with my plan for the entirety of two months because of work and the holiday season (had family over) but had I focused for the entirety of the course, I would have crossed my target score.

If you are looking for an overall score improvement, I would recommend e-GMAT. The Subject experts are really helpful and do respond to queries well within 12-15 hours.

Dear Yogesh,

Congratulations on scoring a 650. Reaching your target score in 2 months is a great achievement.

You have improved from V21 to V31 despite not having a lot of time to study due to your job and family commitments. I love the fact that you enjoyed PACE and that it helped you save time at the Quant side of prep. View the screenshot below to understand one such instance.

Screenshot #1- https://success.e-gmat.com/PACE-time-savings

Your focussed approach towards Verbal was also commendable. You did the course well and in turn, your Scholaranium quiz scores were good. For a student looking to improve in verbal, doing the course well and Scholaranium is two very important aspects. See the screenshot below to understand your performance.

I am also humbled to see that you liked our Strategy and Subject matter support.

A job well done. All the best for your next steps.

I had joined another coaching institute before and even after several attempts my score was stuck at 680. So, I decided to go ahead with e-gmat after one of my friends scored a 760 with their help. I am so glad I made that decision, with e-gmat’s help I got a 710 and am optimistic about getting a 750+ in my next attempt.
Two things that stood out for me were:
1. The adaptive nature of e-gmat and the detailed analysis provided by them our accuracy and time subsection-wise and question type-wise. Their Sigma-X mock tests, Scholaranium cementing and ability quizzes are incredibly helpful in terms of not only replicating the difficulty level of the actual exam but also analysing our performance and providing in-depth solutions,
2. The 24/7 support I received from my mentor Atreya sir truly made all the difference. As an individual, I tend to procrastinate a lot but sir was always there to tailor plans for me and keep me pushing to achieve the targets he set for my gmat journey. Atreya sir constantly analyzed my performance on the platform and suggested customized, hyper-specific plans to work on my key areas of improvement. In fact, after my recent attempt, he shared a video analyzing my ESR and pointed out what I should be doing in the coming weeks in order to get that 750+ score.

With their remarkable insights, adaptive nature of their quant modules, and commendable techniques (especially their meaning-based approach and Pre-Thinking) to ace the verbal section, e-gmat is one of the best gmat courses out there. I have personally recommended to a lot of people over traditional coaching institutes. The amount of personalization and 1:1 mentoring especially in the LMT program is phenomenal.

If you’re looking to achieve your target score in the least amount of time with maximum personalization and top-notch mentoring, e-gmat is your best bet!

You have been very diligent throughout the entire process of learning and the same translated in your Scholaranium attempts. See the Screenshot below which shows your Scholaranium performance.

Let's work towards your 750!

I come from a non-quant background and have a very fast-paced job. So, it was hard for me to study for the GMAT- there were just so many options and honestly, no time to go through them at all. I saw a review of TTP on YouTube and decided to try the free trial. TTP was exactly what I needed. It is thorough and structured while being concise and easy to follow. It's suitable for a total GMAT newbie for me. Instead of giving you rules and formulas to cram, it shows you the underlying thought behind the examiner's questions so you can apply it to multiple question formats. I'm very happy with TTP and my score is a testament to its efficacy.

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Before I started my preparations with E-Gmat in May-21, I had already appeared for GMAT once in Jan-2019. It was my first attempt and I had performed poorly in that exam. That day i got to know that the rules are not enough to clear the GMAT. I took a break from GMAT and then decided to seriously prepare for it in Feb-2021. I thought of doing the OG and questions from GMAT Club. I majorly focused on Sentence Correction ,and the questions from OG and GMAT club did seem to improve my ability on SC. Since my performance in CR and RC was not upto mark, I decided to take some expert help. I got to know about E-GMAT from a friend of mine and decided to contact them. They asked me to write one sample test before suggesting anything. I was shocked to see that even after two years my score had not improved. I decided to go with E-GMAT complete package.
I took my first test(post E-Gmat subscription) on Sep-2 and scored a 680 with V-37 and Q-46. I was quite shocked by the quant score. Though it was an improvement, the score was way below my expectations
. I decided to reappear for the exam in November and started by focusing on Quant more. I finished almost all of the E-Gmat's quant questions. I gave the Online-GMAT but was let down by the glitches in the online software. Thanks to my proctor, GMAC refunded my money and I rescheduled my test for Dec-16. On the day of exam, I was not worried about the exam. I finished my sections well within time and was surprised to see a 730 at the end of the test. E-GMAT's course trained me to an extent that I eventually scored a great score after much hard-work.


Verbal

SC- The SC section is one of the highlights of E-GMAT. I would definitely recommend E-GMAT specially for this section. The questions test your understanding not just the grammar rules. The Modifier section has been covered in detail.

CR- The CR section, though not as strong as the SC section, trains you on how to logically solve the GMAT questions. By the time I was done with the CR section, I was able to solve most of the questions.

RC- The best thing about RC section is that it trains the mind to identify the trap answers. Once you are trained enough, you"ll be able to achieve 80+% accuracy on RC.

Quant-
E-GMAT's Quant is good to build on the basics and practice on some tough questions. The questions aren't exactly GMAT style , but the course clears the concepts to a level that it becomes easy to solve the GMAT type questions.

The Scholaranium 2.0 and Sigma Mocks provide a range of questions to practice from and train yourself for the real test.

I would recommend E-GMAT to people who want to have a solid foundation on all the concepts-Verbal and Quant.

Hi Rajat,

Congratulations on the 730 score! We are very happy to have been your partner in this journey.

Two important things that stood out in your review for me are:
1. Rules by themselves are not enough to ace the GMAT
2. In your latest attempt you felt prepared to the extent that a high score was more a certainty than a wish

Your first point is very pertinent. You may know everything there is to about a topic in theory but if you do not know how to apply it to a question or how to approach a GMAT question it will not be enough. This is where the Application files in Verbal course and Practice Skills and GMAT Skills files in Quant course play an important role and I see that you put in the required effort there. This ensured that you had a reliable and repeatable process to answer all the questions on the GMAT.

Verbal Course Stats - https://success.e-gmat.com/Verbal-Course-Stats

Feeling of confidence about your preparation comes from seeing the desired results over and over again through your prep. When I saw your account, I noticed that you worked through all 3 stages of learning and scored well on over 900 questions on Scholaranium.
