Strengths:
Great course structure: Designed in a way to not overwhelm the student but at the same time that each concept is covered in detail
Amazing Analytics: Analytics help you understand the progress and identify improvement areas
Mentorship: Great team and mentors who are truly invested in students success.
My GMAT journey has been a long one with multiple break either due to family commitments, job responsibilities or my own procrastination. But along this journey one thing which was has been constant was E-Gmat’s consistence support and guidance.
Strength of EGMAT can be analysed in the following three segments:
1. Content/Course structure: e-GMAT has very comprehensive and detailed course structure. You can be sure that you are covering every possible concept tested on Gmat.
Course starts with basics and ends up covering even the most difficult concepts tested. Each module is thorough with ample examples to solidify the understanding. Course is divided into small modules containing concept files, application files and practice quizzes. Concept files cover the theory in detail, application files teach how to approach the questions involving those concepts and finally practice quizzes help you to test your understanding and gather feedback.
Grammatical concepts are as important as the process to solve the question. SC/CR/RC each has its individual process to approach and solve the question which is explained beautifully in the course. How to read strategically, utilizing the sentence structure to get the most meaning out of the sentence. Pre-thinking is definitely a game changer for RC and CR.
2. Process and Analytics: Egmat puts a lot of emphasis on following the process. My accuracy and timing both improved dramatically once I started following the process. Initially the process takes time which often disheartens us and we want to skip the process. But with time, once the process is ingrained then you notice the true power of it. The accuracy and timing both improves, which in-turn boosts your confidence.
Scholaranium (the practice platform) helps you practice questions based upon your weakness and provides insights on improvement area. Having such granular level of insights helps you keep moving and improving. The solutions are also in great detail which helps you understand the mistakes and analyse what you missed and what needs to be improved.
3. Mentorship: I believe this is the best feature of egmat. Mentors are tenured and take immense interest in your success. They keep you motivated and accountable. My mentor worked with me for more than 6 months, helping me improve bit by bit. She helped me create a plan towards success, analysing my performance and progress. She gave invaluable feedbacks at appropriate times and showed great faith in my potential at times when even I was not very sure about my progress.
In short, I would suggest to blindly just follow the egmat plan and path created by the team. I realized this later which did cost me plenty of time. GMAT is not about solving tons of questions but strategically learning from each question and applying the learning in subsequent questions. Honing the skill, following the process and working towards accuracy and efficiency.
I improved my score from 640 to 690 to 720 to 760 and this would not have been possible without egmats support and guidance.
Dear AYUSH198,

The mail made my day, and I was so happy that you finally got the score that you deserved😊
I am really glad that you found the course architecture helpful and made complete use of the concept files and application files to build a rock-solid foundation. You then mastered the processes to build a 95th percentile ability across verbal. This image shows the time spent on the Pre-thinking files helped you improve to a 92% accuracy in CR, while reducing the overall time to 1min 48 sec:

It is commendable that despite taking longer to apply the processes at the start; you continued to apply them consistently, so that it become second nature to you. This helped reduce the time taken over time and improve accuracy.
I am happy that the analytics on the platform helped you identify your areas of weakness which in turn helped you improve and build up a solid ability. See how this data-driven strategic approach helped you improve and maintain your RC ability at 90 + percentile:

In quant too, this structured and strategic approach helped you get to Q50 in a predictable manner.
The journey to success is rarely linear but what is needed to succeed is to stay persistent and face the obstacles and not give up on one's dreams. And this is what you did – you knew you had the potential to score big and did not give up in the face personal or professional challenges or not-so-good GMAT scores.
Yes, there were hurdles and breaks – but you just came out stronger and the 760 is a testament to your hard work, determination and a never-say-die attitude. I am sure the score will give you a great fighting chance to get into your dream B-schools and wish you all the best for the upcoming applications and interviews.
