My name is Akhil Agrawal and I completed my first GMAT focus attempt on 20th September 2024 with a score of 685. I did my preparation through e-GMAT team. When I started my preparation, I had decent understanding of the Quant (because of my engineering back ground) but I lacked the ability to tackle verbal questions from their root. I did not have much familiarity with the Data Interpretation section. Additional hurdle for me was my rustiness in handling competitive exams after being not involved in one for 10 years. Quant being my strength helped me get a decent score in the test mock and I got enrolled into the Last Mile Push program of e-GMAT. This turned out be very helpful as I was assigned a dedicated mentor, who guided me throughout my GMAT journey. She prepared a detailed work plan, helped me with analysis of my quiz results and suggested relevant improvement points. Additionally, she kept regular checks on me and suggested right strategies which proved instrumental in my overall GMAT success.

The 3 most critical areas where e-GMAT team helped me are as follows:
- Solidify my conceptual ability in Verbal: Earlier, I used to rush while reading RCs (to save time) and never understood the how to tackle the reasoning in CR questions. The e-GMAT verbal course is designed beautifully from basics and provides the right tools to handle these challenges. I got good clarity in tackling CR questions and utilized effective reading strategies. This also gave me a boost of morale in Verbal, which I always considered as my weakness.
- Time managing and Exam sequence strategies – The median timings mentioned in solutions give a very nice reference point for start. However, each person needs to design his/her own strategy. One of my weaknesses was to get stuck on a question (especially in Quant) without letting it go. This was very detrimental for overall result. I will give a lot of credit to my e-GMAT mentor who pushed me hard to overcome this weakness. Additionally, she altered my exam sequence pattern which straight away gave me a boost of 20-30 points.
- Practice Quizzes & Mock exams – Scholaranium has really good quality questions. If utilized properly, it can help in robust preparation for the exam. The course is designed to first learn the concept and then cement them properly so they remain lasting without very regular practice as well. Additional feature of scholaranium is generating custom full section as well as topic-based quizzes with very good analysis. Overall Scholaranium is a great platform to practice and get prepared for GMAT.

I also utilized the GMAT focus section tests as well as the huge question bank on GMAT club for my preparation. A few tips that I would like to give to GMAT aspirants is that time management is very critical – my observation has been that leaving even a question un-attempted has a very big penalty which brings down the score drastically. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised how change of sequence of sections can also create a good difference in final GMAT score. Changing my usual pattern from Q-V-DI to Q-DI-V proved to be very helpful. Additionally, the free official mock tests on mba.com are quite simple in compared to the actual exam. So, be careful in judging yourself just based on the 2 free mock tests.

Strengths:

Verbal modules, practice questions covering all types and frameworks, and ways to approach the questions, were excellent. Prethinking was a game changer.
For quant, the PACE system was useful in saving time, with its suggestion to skip already strong topics and work on unfamiliar topics.
DI was very comprehensive, covering all types of topics.
Cementing quizzes, scholaranium, and mocks were excellent for practice.

Would make the product better:

In verbal, some RC modules seemed old. The content was good, but the interface (PPT type) seemed outdated and slow.

The preparation material provided a complete, all-rounded learning experience.

For Verbal, the modules were exceptionally well-designed, covering all question types and frameworks in detail. The strategies for approaching questions, especially prethinking, proved to be a game changer in boosting accuracy and confidence.

In Quant, the PACE system was particularly useful in optimizing study time. By identifying and allowing me to skip already strong topics, it enabled focused learning on unfamiliar areas, resulting in significant improvements.

The Data Interpretation (DI) section was equally comprehensive, thoroughly covering all relevant topics and equipping me with the necessary tools to tackle complex problems.

Finally, the cementing quizzes, Scholaranium, and mock tests were invaluable for practice. These tools not only reinforced concepts but also simulated real exam conditions, ensuring readiness and boosting confidence.

Overall, the combination of well-structured content and effective practice tools made the preparation journey both efficient and rewarding.

Hello GMAT Club community!

I’m excited to share my GMAT journey, culminating in a score of 685 (Q88, V83, D81), achieved through focused effort over 4 months and strategic guidance from e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returning to academics after nearly two decades, I identified GMAT as the gateway to my aspirations. Initially, I joined a classroom-based coaching institute to re-establish a study routine. While Quant was my strength, I struggled with Verbal and Data Insights.
My initial strategy relied on strong Quant scores to compensate for weaknesses in other sections. However, a bad day in Quant revealed the limitations of this approach, as my composite score plateaued at 655 with significant risk of going downward depending on Quant performance. I realized I needed to improve Verbal (from V81) and Data Insights (from D76) to achieve my target.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turning Point: e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In December 2024, I joined e-GMAT’s LMP program, with Rashmi as my mentor. She customized a focused 4-week plan. This plan was a game-changer, leading to at least 30-point score improvement in composite score on the back of 2-3 point improvement in Verbal Scaled score and upto 5 point improvement in DI Scaled score!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Contributions of e-GMAT’s LMP Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Verbal Reasoning Mastery
The structured coursework emphasized clear processes, particularly in Critical Reasoning (CR), where I struggled.
The pre-thinking approach and “Cementing” phase stabilized my Verbal scores at V83, boosting both confidence and predictability through a very data driven process.

2. Data Insights Improvement
e-GMAT’s resources helped me manage time and tackle diverse question types like MSRs, graphs, and tables.
Translating statements into equations for Data Sufficiency and Two-Part Analysis became second nature.

3. Mindset and Strategy
Rashmi’s honest feedback helped me prioritize pacing, avoid getting stuck on tough questions and focus on improvement areas.
My perspective on MSRs transformed from avoidance to confident tackling, thanks to her guidance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips for GMAT Aspirants
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Build trust in structured processes, own them and stick to them on test day.
2. Practice consistently and challenge yourself with hard problems.
3. Focus on refining strategy and mental preparation in the final week.
4. Stay motivated, seek help when needed, and embrace course corrections. Remember in a long journey, there will be ups and downs.
5. Manage your time effectively and don’t dwell on questions that you are not able to tackle. Just move on.
6. Stay calm on test day, adapt to surprises, and treat each section afresh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Takeaway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e-GMAT’s methodical approach, combined with Rashmi’s mentorship, was instrumental in my success. Their focus on data-driven improvement and strategic preparation gave me the confidence and skills to achieve my goal.
Good luck to all GMAT aspirants—stay focused and trust the process!

Preparing for GMAT can be frustrating but what makes it even more frustrating is the decision to select a course provider given numerous options in the market. E-GMAT stands out in this list of options for a variety of reasons. One of the best features I found on GMAT is the cementing mechanism which helps one drill the concepts learnt while applying them to actual questions for each topic which can be specifically beneficial if you already have foundations built and are looking to improve your score. Also the sectional tests and the actual mocks on e-gmat resonate with the actual test you will face on your exam date. Another important feature is that for each quiz or test you take you can customize it with difficulty levels of questions you want to attempt. This helps you build consistency by attempting a particular difficulty level which is crucial for securing a high score.
I used the e-gmat product for only 20 days during my journey to improve my score by 60 points to a 695 in focus edition. The last mile push program was pivotal in helping me identify my weaknesses and fill crucial skill gaps required for a high score.

Some explanations are ambiguous and sometimes contradictory, which may confuse students. So, the explanations could be framed with better clarity.

Hi, I’m Abhrajit Ghosh, and this is my second attempt at the GMAT Focus Edition, which I took on 9th January 2025 and achieved a score of 695 (98th %ile). I have been studying for the GMAT for four years now. On my first attempt, I got a 645 on my own just using the OG material and free resources available on GMAT Club. But now when I look back, I realize that a 50-point improvement would not have been possible without dedicated guidance and a proper strategy. That’s where e-GMAT came into the picture.
After getting a 645, I continued working on my weak areas for another 2 months, after which I decided to try out the first sigma-x mock by e-GMAT. Based on my performance, I got enrolled in their Last Mile Push program, which proved to be the game changer. I was assigned a dedicated mentor from the very first day. She charted a detailed, customized study plan that included weekly milestones, provided in-depth analysis of my Scholaranium mocks in one-on-one meetings, and suggested ways to overcome my weaknesses. And most importantly, she always encouraged me to stay optimistic and have self-belief in the crunch moments. Practice makes you perfect, but e-GMAT showed me that not just practice but perfect practice helps achieve perfection.

The 3 most pivotal areas where e-GMAT helped me are as follows:
1. The curriculum is strategically designed to introduce basic topics that would act as the building blocks for the more complex and advanced topics, thus making it easier to navigate through the entire course. I have always been good at quant, so I was able to utilize their PACE learning option, which helped me filter out just the content I needed improvement on. The verbal course helped me fill in my conceptual gaps, and the video explanations enabled me to better visualize and apply the POE approach when I was left with the two closest answer choices. The data insights course helped me read the DI questions better to get an accurate understanding of what has been mentioned and what exactly the question is asking. So, even though this section is highly time-consuming, I was able to implement the strategies and some intuition while solving the questions, which helped me keep track of time.
2. Scholaranium has a vast pool of questions to practice from, starting from topic-wise cementing quizzes to sectional mocks to full-length sigma-x mocks. It provided me with a thorough analysis of my performance across the sections (from accuracy to timing), which helped me instantly pinpoint the areas I need to work on to improve my accuracy as well as bring down the time taken per question.
3. During the end of the preparation, I was able to revise and reflect on my mistakes with the help of custom quizzes that contained previously attempted incorrect questions. As a result, I was completely prepared on the DOs and DONTS for the actual exam.

A few tips I would like to share with future GMAT aspirants.
1. The Quant Section is generally harder in the actual exam than in the official mocks, so don't solely rely on the quality of questions you encounter in the official mocks. Practice harder questions so that you don't panic in the actual exam environment.
2. Practice the art of letting go. Don't beat yourself up; let the exam beat you. Learn to let go of the harder questions when you feel you have taken more than the time you should have taken to solve it. You can always come back and change the answer. That's one of the perks of GMAT Focus.
3. Time management is extremely important. Note down certain time intervals on your work pad so that you can check whether you are lagging or you're on pace with the allotted time.
4. Practice the mocks in different section orders to figure out the order that brings out your optimal performance. My 645 attempt was (V-Q-DI) whereas my 695 attempt was (Q-DI-V).
5. Official mocks 3 to 6 are harder than the first 2 free mocks. So they will provide you with a better indication of what your performance on the actual exam may look like. So use them very carefully.

When I started my GMAT prep, I was stuck at 595 and had no idea how to move forward. I kept hitting a wall and felt like I’d reached my limit. That’s when I decided to give e-GMAT a shot and it completely changed how I approached the test. Their structured course and tools helped me improve my score to 665. Here’s what really stood out for me:

1. A Verbal Course That Works
The Verbal section was my weakest area, and e-GMAT helped me turn it around.
a) For Critical Reasoning, the pre-thinking technique taught me how to break down arguments logically and anticipate answers before looking at the options. This made tough questions feel much more manageable.
b) For Reading Comprehension, their active reading strategies taught me how to focus on key points in a passage, even when the content was dense or boring.
These methods really stuck with me and helped me gain confidence in Verbal, which was a huge shift from where I started.

2. Scholaranium Platform
Scholaranium is hands down one of the best parts of e-GMAT. The quality of questions is top-notch, they feel very similar to the real GMAT. The platform also gives detailed analytics, so you can clearly see where you’re struggling and where you’re improving.

a) For Verbal, it helped me master things like Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension by drilling into specific problem areas.
b) For Quant, the question bank was challenging, but it pushed me to improve my speed and accuracy.

The feedback from Scholaranium really helped me focus my efforts instead of wasting time on random practice.

3. Cementing Quizzes
The Cementing Quizzes were like the glue that brought everything together for me. These quizzes helped me practice under GMAT-like conditions and build the stamina and confidence I needed for test day. They weren’t just about practice—they were about making sure I fully understood the concepts and could apply them consistently.

The 1-1 mentorship provided in the Last Mile Program is something which stands out with e-GMAT. My mentor Rashmi helped me create an extensive improvement plan focusing on my weak areas which boosted my score to the level I wished. Moreover, they are always available to help and guide you where you feel demotivated and low.

If you’re struggling with the GMAT, I can’t recommend e-GMAT enough. It’s not just a collection of video lessons and quizzes—it’s a well-thought-out system designed to actually help you get better. Whether it’s Verbal, Quant, or just getting over a plateau, they’ve got you covered.

For anyone feeling stuck like I was, e-GMAT could be the thing that makes the difference.

Content and Question Bank

I recently took the GMAT (offline) and scored 685 (Q88 V81 DI83).
Self Study phase : I utilized GMAT Club and GmatNinja which got me till 645. However, I had hit a plateau at 645 and needed to identify gaps and fine tune my weaker areas.
After taking trial for most of the courses out there, I chose e-Gmat because of the detailed and diverse categorization of topics and practice material on their platform.

LMP : I was enrolled in the Last Mile Push Program, I worked closely with my mentor Abha, who helped me with identifying the areas requiring a back-to-basics approach and those needing more practice.
As a result, My accuracy improved significantly in Verbal and DI. In Quant, we fine-tuned my problem-solving process for specific topics that were taking longer than average to solve.

Overall, I found e-GMAT's content to be very carefully crafted, covering all aspects and question types you might encounter on the exam. The platform is excellent, enabling you to identify weak areas and track your progress over time.
