First Attempt - 750

I was unsure about signing up for a GMAT prep course for a very long time and spent a considerable amount of time preparing for the test before signing up. I completed the OG (twice) and took every mock available on the internet but my scores were extremely inconsistent. While there was a definite sense of slow improvement, my mock scores ranged from as low as 670 to as high as 740 and I couldn’t be sure exactly what I could reasonably expect on test day. I also felt like I couldn’t confidently assess and pinpoint my weaknesses to target them and secure my target score and so I decided that the best course of action was to sign up for an online GMAT course to provide some structure to my preparation.

During this time, I found E-GMAT through their YouTube channel where they upload weekly webinars which are conducted free of cost so I decided to go ahead and attend a few. These webinars were what convinced me to sign up for this course as their primary focus was on mastering concepts and establishing processes. This approach resonated with me because I felt that I would be able to bridge the gaps in my conceptual understanding of certain topics while identifying my weaknesses.

The Quant course is extremely through and focuses on establishing a solid conceptual foundation and then the process skills required to solve problems and how to apply them to solve even the hardest questions on the GMAT. This focus on improving my process skills and maintaining an error long were instrumental in improving my quant score as I was able to identify exactly where I tended to make mistakes and ensure I didn’t repeat them.
E-GMAT’s quant question bank is very comprehensive and difficulty level of the questions is higher than those in the official guide or GMAT prep. Solving these harder questions in under 2 minutes is essential in doing well on test day and really tests the depth of your conceptual understanding.

The Verbal Course is very good and builds right from the basics covers every area tested by GMAT in SC, RC and CR. In CR particularly, the pre-thinking strategy taught in the course helped me save a lot of time. Before using pre-thinking, I used to barely be able to complete the verbal section in the mocks and after learning it, I felt like I was able to not only complete the section comfortably but also answer questions with much more confidence.

Additionally, While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about what we can expect from the actual exam we cannot analyze our performance and how we can improve. The Sigma-X mocks (by E-GMAT) are extremely detailed in this regard. As someone who has taken pretty much every free mock available, I can confidently say that the Sigma-X mocks are by far the most comprehensive in their assessment and will expose any weaknesses that you have.

Finally, the personalized support I was provided whilst taking the course was tremendous. The e-GMAT team was always accessible through email and were extremely prompt and detailed in their responses. I was lucky enough to be offered a spot in their Last Mile Program where they provide you a mentor in the last few weeks of preparation to really push you to achieve your target score and I believe these last few weeks were the most significant and focused because of the direction my mentor provided.

My mentor Atreya helped me identify specific weak points in particular concepts in verbal and provided me with a personalized plan of attack including personalized ppts, videos and quizzes. He also helped analyze my mock performances and really made me understand the importance of timing and maintaining pace during the test. He shared a timing matrix and instructed me on how to create specific quizzes on the platform to familiarize myself with it and get test ready.

As someone with a fairly hectic full-time job, my only expectation from a prep course was that I would identify my weak points and improve on them. The E-GMAT course went above and beyond this expectation with the amount of support and personalized insight I received and the detailed timing and performance analytics for each sub section and topic on the platform.

In summary, I believe that the E-GMAT course is the complete package that can provide you with everything you need to achieve your target score!
