REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I heard about e-GMAT course from a friend of mine and after going through the online reviews of the course,I chose the 4 month course.
My instant impression was that the course was well thought of,streamlined and engrossing. Well thought of as it started from basic and foundational topics which were tested through interactive quizzes;building on the skills acquired through application/GMAT level quizzes;refinement through scholaranium and finally evaluation through sigma tests.
I needed to improve on the verbal section as my quant was fairly strong.I felt the Verbal section of the course to be the best (I solved mock free tests of other course providers as well in the past).There was no ambiguity in the e-GMAT content. Unlike all other content providers e-GMAT course simplified the Verbal section through the strategy and approach towards any subsection be it SC,CR or RC.It wasn't based on some abstract notion which a person doesn't know how to implement.There were clear meaningful methods to improve one's skills.Meaning based approach in SC reduced the otherwise confusion especially between 2 options. Elimination of incorrect options became a breeze. RC approach provided more clarity towards the approach. The best advice was to approach them as an article in a journal or as an editorial rather than as a tool which evaluates a test taker. My weakest section was CR. I always felt this section to be quite random which was at times quite frustrating However,e-GMAT explanations were mostly logical and helped me in formulating subcategories within the section to solve the questions more efficiently.
Scholarnium is the prefect stage to gauge one's understanding of the foundational skills and implementation potential.It not only has GMAT relevant questions and their explanations but also has in depth explanation about the attempts,accuracy,strength,weakness.It also provides quite a a lot of customization options as per the stage of one's preparation.All these inputs helped me increase my score from 640 to 720.
The only aspect which I feel can be added to the course is to have human connection i.e. e-GMAT experts reaching out to the student atleast twice during the course. I feel once during the mid course and then towards the end. A lot of insights are provided by the e-GMAT AI,but I feel e-GMAT expert can help in clear interpretation of the data.
I will definitely recommend the course for its vision,style and particularly the Verbal content!

Hi Neetiraj,
I love the subject of your review. It sets the tone for the entire review. A 720 is a score that can take you places and let’s not forget the 80-point jump!
After having spoken to more than 500 students in the last 4-5 months, here is what I think helps someone decide the course that fits them. (It’s just like doing research for a business school. You add as much value to the course as the course adds to you)
Decision Making points for any student –
1) Word of Mouth – this is right up there
2) Reviews – this is a diluted form of the above
3) Free Trial and Sessions – you can experience the course first-hand during this period
For a person struggling with CR, it can be hard. I am glad you found clarity with our course.

Finally, the human connection. Feedback is taken; in fact, we are working on it as you speak. Just for your information – a lot of students reach out to us at different stages of their preparation at support@e-gmat.com. We offer the insights you were referring to over those emails 😊
All the best and I hope you find a school like that is the perfect amalgamation of what you need from your MBA!
