REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
After my first GMAT attempt stood at a 690 score (it took a good amount of self-study and practice), I could not leave it to chance to get past the 700-mark since I had given it all. As for most non-native speakers, my first score reflected a lack of preparation for Verbal section with a V34. And so, researching on which verbal prep course to sign up for became the Level-0 for my second shot at GMAT. The reviews on GMAT club for the course providers seemed to be a credible source given the verified score improvements, and among those, e-GMAT stood out by a huge margin. My secondary research for e-GMAT on its free webinars and recorded videos gave me no less reason to go for it.
e-GMAT asks a simple thing of you when you sign up. Forget what you think you know. Doing so is not as simple as it sounds, but rewards you the more you believe in the course’s philosophy. The course is designed in such a way that it makes you effortlessly dive deep into basics and ensures that you haven’t lost the crux of the initially studied concepts till the very end, while comprehensively touching upon every testable area in the GMAT exam.
Beginning with its infamous SC course, e-GMAT brings in the Meaning Based Approach which, in my opinion is the life saver for many when attempting a lot of 600+ and 700+ level questions. This approach, combined with the relevant grammatical rules, makes up for a huge chunk of the course, proportionate to its importance in the Verbal preparation. For the CR sub-section, the course introduces to concepts usually overlooked by a lot of test-takers such as identification of premises and conclusion, grasping the author’s intent, and prethinking the assumptions before jumping to option analysis. Following the prescribed process reduced my average time spent on the CR questions by about 25%, which let me have more time to attempt the once dreadful RC questions. RC too became easier through e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension pointers at the beginning of the course, which became a habit by the time I reached RC sub-section.
To supplement it all, the newly introduced Scholaranium 2.0 which includes all of e-GMAT’s practice questions has a very high-quality database for explanations and data insights for each and every question in it. This same quality applies to the Sigma-X Mocks designed by e-GMAT, giving these tests their accuracy.
In addition to all of the preparation, the support provided by e-GMAT’s strategy experts in the Last Mile Program is something that brought me to a V41 and a 70 points improvement. Shweta Koshija, one of the experts at e-GMAT, was available throughout my course tenure and helped me through personalized videos and hyper-specific plans for any and all of my queries.
Considering all of it, signing up for e-GMAT should be a no-brainer for anyone aiming a competitive GMAT score.
