Excellent Product to prep for GMAT!! Highly Recommend

Strengths:

- First thing that stood out for me was the weekly plan that e-gmat provides once you enter your target score. This really gives one a good picture of the time needed per week to cover all the concepts.
- The course material is very strong. They focus on approaches and techniques to really solve GMAT questions well. Payal does a wonderful job explaining the concepts.
The question bank that e-gmat has is very strong. It is highly representative of the official GMAT questions and in some cases is also harder which makes students well prepared/
- The portal is easy to use and the analytics provided is very helpful. The Sigma X Mocks are very insightful and very similar to the official GMAT (better than the official mocks which are generally slightly on the easier end)

Would make the product better:

None at this point. It is one of the most comprehensive products available for preparing for GMAT.

I had already given the GMAT once on Jul 11, 2023. I got only a 700. Although, I touched the 700 mark i felt my skills were lacking especially in Verbal. Many questions in the exam went over my head and I was not having a strong approach to solving RC and CR questions. As soon as my exam got done, I knew I have to retake it. I googled and came across e-gmat.
I chose e-gmat because 1) It had its own question bank which I desperately needed since I had pretty much exhausted the OG questions during my first prep and 2) it provided me with a week by week plan on how to tackle learning the concepts.

I immediately enrolled and within 1-2 days got a study plan from one of the assigned mentors. I started and found the Verbal modules very good for SC and CR. The meaning-based approach in SC was quite eye-opening and sub-consciously strengthened my concepts that I ended up getting 98th percentile in SC n my second official attempt. I also had a significant improvement in CR. The pre-thinking approach was very helpful in breaking down complex CR arguments. Earlier, I was always confused between two options, but pre-thinking hugely improved my accuracy. These are the areas I primarily needed improvement and the course material really strengthened my concepts.

Once I was good with the concepts, the in-module quizzes and the cementing quizzes really helped me to become test ready. I actually found the Hard cementing quizzes harder than some 700 level GMAT questions. Initially, this did appear daunting especially for Quant but when you start solving such high quality questions, you are really well prepped for any tough question the official GMAT throws at you.

Once the necessary prep was done, the Sigma-X mocks were very very helpful. The block wise analysis that the mock provides really helps you identify weak areas and helps you focus on getting higher scores. These exams are very very similar in level to the official exam. The official mocks are in fact little easier and can be misleading. I did find the sigma-X mocks from e-gmat to be quite accurate.

Lastly, the strategy experts who help with 1x1 guidance were very good. I worked with Akash, who was very supportive throughout and corrected me when I went offtrack.

Overall, e-gmat is highly comprehensive, helps one build their fundamentals, has great questions and mocks which can make you test ready and I highly recommend it for anyone at any level of preparedness who wants to take the GMAT.
