680 to 750

I prepped for GMAT while working in an incredibly busy start-up. Here is what I liked about the eGMAT Course.

Critical Reasoning

Throughout the course, eGMAT gives subcategories for each category of questions. For example, a question can be profiled as - CR → Assumption Based → A context-dependent truth being assumed as a generic fact.

This helps you profile a question while you are reading it and make a mental note of what type of reasoning it probably is testing. This was incredibly helpful in CR.

Their Pre-Thinking method is also a great tool for CR Questions.

Reading Comprehension

eGMAT teaches you common structures of RC passages. This makes interpreting and skimming RC passages easier.

Sentence Correction

Meaning based approach - eGMAT stresses on this a lot in their SC course, and it's a good model to have while solving SC questions.

Quant

eGMAT has a great question bank in Quant 2.0 and Scholaranium 2.0 for Number systems and inequalities, which are heavily tested topics on GMAT.

Scholaranium 2.0 also gives you insights on which question types take you a long time to answer (which is worse than getting them wrong in GMAT)


One-on-one Support

Best thing about the eGMAT course is the one-one-one support in the LMT program. This was especially important for me since I was working with extreme time constraints. I worked with Atreya Roy. Atreya created personalised study plans to structure my prep, defined milestones, and gave me some important reality checks.

Expert Team
I would recommend trying to get as much 1-on-1 interactions with the expert team. It can give you pointed advice that will help your score jump by 20 points just like that. I had hit a wall with SC. My conversation with Shraddha from the expert team was crucial for me.


Strengths -

eGMAT is an expert on the GMAT. They know all the nuances and prudent things about the GMAT. This reflects in all their courses (except SC)
eGMAT Course is great for topics that you are really weak at.
1-on-1 interactions are very helpful.
Subcategories of questions created by eGMAT are incredibly helpful.

Weakness -

Course is extremely long and slow. I recommend only doing the parts that you are weak at, or you will waste a lot of prep time.
SC Question Bank doesn’t emulate GMAT accurately. I would recommend doing OG questions for SC preparation (also available in Scholaranium 2.0). There is just a different flavor to OG questions that no one can quite capture. Also eGMAT’s prescribed process helped me get better at SC during practise, but is simply too long and idealistic for the actual test.
