Before starting the course on eGmat, I already completed a few GMAT courses from other reputed providers, but none of their approaches were well suited for my style, and despite putting up a lot of effort towards my GMAT, I could not improve my score and cross the 700 marks. After wasting three valuable attempts and a lot of money I came across eGMAT, which has excessively positive reviews for eGMAT on Gmat Club. I was skeptical at first but decided to join their free trial anyways and to my surprise, it was very thorough and teaches methods that can be used in a wide variety of questions and not just does the trick a few times and fail for the rest of the questions. Impressed by the trial, I enrolled for the full course.
My primary focus was English, where I was seriously lacking, and eGMAT delivered on the promise. When you go through the first few exercises, where they teach you how to read with pauses and introduce you to nouns and pronouns, they seem slow and nowhere near GMAT level at first but the course gradually develops your fundamental skills and prepares you for the harder questions ahead. Yes, their approach, of understanding the purpose of each part and then deducing the error in the sentence, may seem a bit slow at first because it is much faster to do a 2-3 split using some keywords and go for the answer, but as you approach harder questions this approach is your trump card. When you thoroughly understand the question, you don’t make silly mistakes and you’re more confident about the choices you mark. I can probably pinpoint a lot of things that I liked about the course, but all those are meaningless because the best thing about any GMAT prep course is that you can experience it yourself before enrolling and spending even a dime. Check out the free trial and you’ll see the difference yourself.
I still remember a quote from the founder Rajat in one of his webinars, “A lot of people say GMAT is a test of timing/time management, It is not. If you can’t solve all the questions in time, don’t. Attempt the first 27 questions correctly and mark the rest of them randomly. I guarantee you will get a score of above 700”. I made this my mantra for GMAT and, no surprises here, he was definitely right.
Dear Shane239,
Congratulations on making it to the 700+ Club! It is no mean feat, and you deserve every bit of it. You started off the course with the target of improving your Verbal Score and you have done it. The journey was easy for you because of the following:
The foundation was laid when you went through the Master Comprehension course in detail. You diligently went about doing the entire course, maintaining scores of 85%+ in all concept and practice quizzes. This is a great example of doing Stage 1 correctly. Refer to the Screenshot to have a look at your stats.
