I will divide my e-GMATs review into 4 sections as below:

The Verbal Section
Sentence Correction: e-GMATs method of understanding the meaning of the sentence was very helpful for me. This method helped me to identify the error in the sentence within 30 to 40 seconds and then to mark the current answer within next 30 seconds by process of elimination.
Critical Reasoning: e-GMATs method of Pre-thinking the answer helps here for 90% of questions. For the rest of the questions such as Evaluate the method etc., they have a process known as Variance test which helps to identify the correct choice. Pre-thinking might not lead you to guess the correct answer every time, but it helps you to fix the structure of the passage perfectly in your mind and this fixing helps you to identify the correct answer quickly.
Reading Comprehension: e-GMATs method of immersive reading was a game changer here. Understanding the entire passage thoroughly before reading the questions helped me save a lot of time in the exam.
The Quant Section
Being already comfortable in quant, I used this section to refresh my concepts. Learning quants with such an approach was a major mistake as you can see from my quant score. I am planning to retake GMAT to score better in quants. So I will post a detailed review for this section post this attempt.

Quizzes:
After learning all the basics I started taking custom Quizzes. A custom quiz is where in you can design a quiz the way you want. So I generally designed my quizzes to replicate a subsection – Quant or Verbal. This approach helped me to improve on my timing and accuracy tremendously. Apart from custom quizzed I also took the cementing quiz (to cement the concepts I have learnt) and ability quiz (to test my ability on a particular topic). Ability quizzes are helpful in that they will show you a true picture of your ability in a particular section in terms of percentiles.

Mentorship:
I was struggling to clear the expected cutoffs for reading comprehension in the cementing stage. My major hurdle was timing, as I used to take a lot of time to read a passage. Dhru Joshi, my mentor, helped a lot here by providing me with various articles and with various links to different news websites. He also asked me to go through atleast 2 such articles daily and practice the e-GMATs method on these articles. This practice helped me to improve my speed not only in ready comprehension but also in overall verbal section as I finished my verbal section with 5 minutes to spare and scored a V44.
