e-GMAT Course Review

In November 2019, I took the GMAT and obtained a score of 700 (49Q,39V). Even though I had received a good score, I felt as though I could score higher. However, I realized I would benefit from an online course that would structure my learning and highlight my weak areas. I saw that e-GMAT was the most reviewed course on GMAT Club, so I did the 7-day free trial to test the course. I really liked the videos that taught the concepts since I am a visual learner. The 5 free mock exams were definitely a plus since I wouldn't have to buy practice CATs from another test prep company. As I was taking the course, I appreciated that every question on Scholarium (e-GMAT's question bank) had essentially a comments section where students asked their questions and each question had a response from an e-GMAT verified instructor. So whenever I would review my incorrect answers, I would look at the comments section and would always find my question answered. At the beginning of my course, the e-GMAT team provided me with a course strategy that would also tell me if I had truly mastered a concept or if I needed to review it. The course taught me to look at meaning in sentence correction (something I never considered) and provided me a framework for assumption, evaluate, weaken, and strengthen questions in critical reasoning. Following e-GMAT's instruction and the online course, I completed the online course by around May 2020. From there I spent about a month doing the e-GMAT mock exams and OG GMAT exams. I took the online GMAT exam at the beginning of June (before a Physical whiteboard was allowed) and scored a 720 (50Q,38V). I was slightly disappointed that I had only scored a 720 but I was glad it was better than the 700. When I informed the e-GMAT team about my 720 score, Ashutosh (from e-GMAT Customer Strategy) gave me a call. After reviewing my scores on my e-GMAT mock exams, he realized that I was capable of scoring higher than a 720. He made it clear that I should definitely retake it and that instead of studying for another few months, he came up with a tailored 10-day plan that would target my weak areas. This tailored plan was to build my stamina throughout the exam and improve my accuracy on hard level problems. After going through those 10 days of several different types of quizzes, I retook the online GMAT exam (I also had a physical whiteboard this time). Seven days later I received my score report and saw that I scored a 740 (49Q,41V). I was really happy because the hard work since November 2019 paid off. I definitely appreciate the help from e-GMAT and do recommend the course to whoever. I believe it is best to get the full course covering both Quant and Verbal so that you can also get access to the mock exams.
