Hello everyone
Sharing my review for e-GMAT's course. I worked with Dhananjay (DJ) for e-GMAT for the last stretch of my preparation and it was an awesome experience throughout. I am very thankful to e-GMAT for their guidance and support.
Before joining e-GMAT, I studied by myself for around 3 months but scored only a 660. I joined e-GMAT 2 months later after another botched attempt, realizing importance of structured preparation and guidance. After I wrote the initial sigma X mock, I got advice from DJ on where exactly I was lacking- CR timing and accuracy in Quant were key issues.
E-GMAT teaching pedagogy - DJ suggested me to go through the SC and CR modules for practicing the Meaning Based Approach in SC and Pre-thinking in CR and document my errors in the 'new error logs' formats that drill down on patterns of mistakes. The verbal questions in both the modules and scholaranium are of high quality. They helped me a lot in improving my timing strategy for verbal. The custom verbal quizzes that I took were a very close representation of the actual GMAT questions. My practice of solving awfully long and complicated RC passages from scholaranium helped me tremendously on the actual GMAT.
I used Quant 2.0 with Xpert AI (Scholaranium 2.0) for practicing quant and took the cementing as well as custom quizzes as directed by DJ. The interface and quality of questions was exceptional. Although I felt at times that e-GMAT quant questions are far more difficult than those on the GMAT, they really broadened my ability to approach and solve tough questions within 2-3 minutes.
LMP Support - I was in the last mile program and DJ was my assigned mentor. He was a perfect mentor throughout my time with e-GMAT. He was available when I required his inputs and offered precise advice continuously. 2 days before my first scheduled attempt, I scored a 640 on the sigma X mock and my confidence was absolutely destroyed (I had never scored below 720 in any official mocks). I remember DJ was driving when I contacted him; he immediately recorded an advice video for me right then and there from his car and suggested I reschedule the exam by 2 weeks to polish my algebra, geometry, and CR. His prompt reply and precise advice probably saved me a precious GMAT attempt. I followed his advice to a T and my next scheduled attempt was much smoother. The test taking strategies suggested by DJ worked wonderfully as well.
Outside the actual studies, I found eGMAT team to be extremely supportive and helpful. DJ and team helped me keep myself motivated. I never had to wait long for response on my questions. This was very important to me as my job is very demanding and studies have to be concentrated in a small window during the day.
Overall, I think e-GMAT is the best available course for GMAT. Especially if you're looking for score improvement, I can say this with certainty that you can blindly choose the course.
