My journey with GMAT has been far too long, and it is still going on. E-Gmat did help me get a score improvement of 40 points over my previous best score. If one would fully dedicate oneself to the methodology, chances are high that you would get to the target score. However, I was not able to and the blame is on me.
Below is my honest review about the course.

In the verbal concept building phase, the questions discussed are too easy. There is a sudden increase in difficulty and complexity when you start with practice. The answer explanation is not upto the mark and I had to refer to gmatclub discussion many a times. For any particular question, there is an entire discussion thread that one must sift through to check whether anyone else had the same confusion as you did. If yes, great! If no, then you ask the question and wait for an unsatisfactory answer. (Exception: Answers by Harshendra are great!) The discussion thread contains a lot of stale answers as well. So, beware of going through an inaccurate explanation.

In quant section, there is no complaint.

Overall, the course did help me develop my basics. I have a better grip on the individual concepts. I faltered in the application phase, but that's my issue. Maybe it will work out nicely for you. All the best!

Dear rishav009,

Congratulations on your 690 and thank you for your feedback about the course.

I am really happy that the course helped you build your basics and the processes that you learned helped you improve by 6 points in verbal from your starting score of V28 in the first mock.

The effort that you spent in learning your basics and building your ability from foundation up is clearly visible in this image that shows near perfect practice quiz scores in SC:

In quants too, you left no stone unturned to solidify your foundation and I am sure given a bit more time, you would have reached your target score, which I know for sure you will do on your next attempt.

Thank you for your feedback about the forum support – I will pass on the message to Harsha that you really appreciated his responses. We are always striving to improve ourselves and meet the diverse needs of our students and your input help us in this endeavour.

That said, the questions that we use for concept-building are in the easy – medium range and it is intentional as you need this level of questions to solidify your concepts and practice with these will make you adept at solving medium and hard questions.

Thank you again for your input, and we wish you success in your studies. Please reach out to us for any assistance for your reattempt journey and we shall work together to achieve your dream GMAT score.

Best Regards,
Rida Shafeek
