I am a repeat GMAT test taker. I had a good experience with e-gmat. I did not see any improvement in my score. However, I did see improvement in my overall skill. I scored a 710 on my first test and was hoping to improve to 740. Unfortunately, even though my verbal raw scores improved V35 vs V39. Because of a 1 point drop in quant Q50 to Q49. The algorithm calculated my score to be 710 on my last attempt.

I started to prepare for the GMAT in July 2022. I took a free MGMAT mock test to establish a baseline and scored 630. After a 2 week of studying Manhattan Prep SC and Quant I took an offical mock and scored 660.

For my first attempt I utilized Magoosh, Official Prep materials and LSAT RC to prepare for the exam. I studied ~10-12 hours/week between August - November 12, before taking the exam, and scored 710 (V35 and Q50). My overall score was exactly the same as the official mock test #6 (710).

The biggest weakness prior to e-gmat program was SC. Specifically, I was very slow at finding the correct answer for the SC question type. For my second attempt I utilized e-gmat and the OG advanced/guide 2022. My SC and CR improved by ~10-15 percentile points. The methods used by e-gmat are very effective.

I highly recommend utilizing e-gmat's mock and SC sections during the initial parts of your preparation. Once you have mastered all the concepts I recommend using the official guide quesions. You will find that due to nature of the e-gmat question bank you will find the official questions a lot easier to process. The OG questions are typiclly shorter and more concise and e-gmat definitely helps with time management.

I did use the E-gmat mentorship program as well. My mentor Abha was very responsive and provided me with a customized program. The program itself recommends using OG material as you get closer to the test. If any one has 3-4 months to prepare for the test and definitely recommend using the scholarium question bank to cement the concepts.

Overall, I was not as impressed with the quant modules. The questions are different from OG and real GMAT. However, the questions do allow you to master important concepts tested in the GMAT.

Finally, I took all 5 mock exams. The mocks are harder to complete than the official test as the question prompts can be a bit longer. However, the mock exams predictions and analytics are quite accurate and help identify one's strengths and weaknesses.

My final sigma mock was v39, Q49 - 720, and was the same as my official score. I never broke V40 on e-gmat and have yet to do so on the official GMAT as well!!

In conclusion, I rate the egmat program to be a valuable tool in GMAT preparation. The mentors can provide a lot of value to an individual who is not sure on how to structure their study plan.
