Strengths:

The platform has strong preparation material with extensive question database. More importantly, the sub tools such as PACE, Cementing and score report analysis are extremely useful tools for FT employees who would not have the time to go through each and every material or conduct a self analysis on the progress.

Nothing in particular

I have previously prepared for GMAT on my own and wasnt happy with my score. I sensed the need of a planned training with guidance to doubts. I opted for E-GMAT post analysis and it is an understatement to say that I am happy with the results. I started with preparing for Quant and Verbal for GMAT Classic. Quant has been my strength so there was no concern with it. Verbal was a nightmare for me and that was one reason why I have taken E-GMAT as it is known to help non-native speakers. For GMAT Focus, I had the added advantage that Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension were relatively my stronger sections in Verbal. But E-GMAT actually helped me bolster my preparation for these sections. Their Master Comprehension section trains you for these two sections and even for MSR in DI section. Finding the 4 incorrect options out of the 5 options is an effective strategy but E-GMAT's stress on Pre-Thinking is to help you reach to the right answer at faster pace.
Another place E-GMAT helped me particularly is the Bold Face questions in Critical Reasoning, I used to let go of Bold Face questions due to the time they used to consume. E-GMAT's strategy has been effective enough for me to get almost every Bold Face questions right after a point.
Finally, with all the information flowing around, DI has been a nightmare for me. In my first mock, I got a 77 in DI and I realised there is a long road up ahead. However, E-GMAT has ton of questions to practice and shares a couple of questions as templates that are extremely useful. With the right amount of practice, one can predict where is the question leading to after going through the templates and save those previous seconds.
Finally, I was able to achieve 685 and I am extremely happy with the result! Thanks to E-GMAT and especially their counsellor who has kept track of my practice and activities throughout the process.
Preparing alone is great but in case of doubt, it is good to get a training kit such as the ones provided by E-GMAT because it nearly narrows down your actions and makes this whole process much efficient!
I would once again like to thank E-GMAT for helping me with my MBA journey.

Ability to switch between offered products

E-GMAT has been my trusted partner throughout my GMAT journey which started in November 2020 till February 2021 and then restarted in July 2022 till March 2024.

It offers an excellent product with personalized support. The product itself is amazing with the course material, scholaranium and mock tests suited for every student. The data driven insights we get during the preparation helped me gauge my ability level from time to time. It helped me charter my own path in achieving my targets.

The personalized mentorship I've received was class apart and I truly believe they went above and beyond in helping me identify my issues, provide a structured approach to addressing those issues and an unparalleled mentorship from identifying the issues to overcoming them.

At E GMAT, I felt like I was not just an account for them, but they made it their mission to help me reach my goals. There were times when I gave up and they were there to push me forward with data backed insights motivating me to reach my target.

A huge shout out to Rida for being an amazing mentor.

Strengths:

1. Personalized strategies
2. Comprehensive learning
3. Realistic testing environment
4. Time-saving features
5. Supportive community

I first stumbled upon e-GMAT through a friend's recommendation, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. This platform has been instrumental in my GMAT preparation journey, particularly in tackling all three subsections effectively. What sets e-GMAT apart is their strategic approach tailored to each subsection. Their emphasis on understanding the meaning behind questions and prethinking techniques significantly boosted my verbal score.

One crucial lesson I learned is that mastering a topic isn't about solving endless questions but grasping problem-solving methodologies and solidifying basic concepts. The cementing quizzes provided a test-like environment, reinforcing all the concepts I learned in each subsection.

The PACE engine on the platform was a game-changer, saving me countless hours by allowing me to skip concepts I already knew well, focusing instead on areas where I needed improvement. Additionally, the e-GMAT forum proved invaluable. Engaging with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in the forum, especially regarding Reading Comprehension (RC) and Critical Reasoning (CR), was enlightening. Harsha, one of my favorite SMEs, always offered spot-on responses that addressed the gaps in my understanding.

Akash from the strategy team deserves a special mention as well. He's been a constant source of support throughout my journey, providing guidance on areas of improvement, strengths, and exam strategy. Our discussions have been pivotal in shaping my preparation.

For any MBA aspirant, I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT. Their comprehensive approach, personalized guidance, and supportive community make it an indispensable tool for GMAT success.

Initially I thought about preparing for the GMAT on my own. However, I found it difficult to design a plan given the many resources available. I opted for e-Gmat's course so I would have something structured and comprehensive.

At first, you create your own Personalized Study Plan, which is interesting because it gives an idea of how much time to spend on each section. However, if you decide to complete every lesson and every quiz available, like I did, the PSP will significantly underestimate the time needed. It took me about three months to go through the whole course, though for the first month I dedicated only 2-3 hours/day (later 6+ hours/day).

I didn't try any other course, but I would recommend e-GMAT. To be honest, I chose the service because it had good reviews, but mostly because of its attractive pricing. I'm happy with the value I got for the money invested.

The program is comprehensive and the lessons are short and to the point. Lessons are usually followed by quizzes, which are very helpful because, at the end of the day, GMAT's content is fairly easy, what you need is a lot of practice solving questions.

The team is also very responsive. Communication is done through email, but I'd usually get a response within a few hours.

On the negative side, at times I was annoyed by questions that had the wrong answer marked. I remember a couple of instances, with questions regarding Correlation, that some students had previously expressed concerns on the forum, and the tutors reiterated that the answers was correct (it wasn't). I suggested they ran the correlation on Excel, which clearly showed that the answer was wrong.

The problem with that is that after you spot a few errors, you start questioning every explanation that you don't immediately agree with. I ended up wasting a lot of time checking questions I got wrong and trying to figure out is the explanation made sense.

Additionally, I was disappointed with the mock exams offered. In every exam I scored way below my target score. When I switched to the official mocks, I scored way above my target in every occasion. This is mostly the reason why I'm giving the service 4 stars. Getting such low scores deeply affected my self-confidence and I even thought about giving up. As it turns out, e-GMAT's mocks had mostly questions that took way longer than two minutes to solve. For example, in one of the mocks I scored 615, while on the official mocks I was scoring 685-725 (my actual score was 685 unfortunately).

In summary, I believe the service is good and would recommend it. Just keep in mind that the official mocks are a much better reflection of your potential score.

Strengths:

- Personalized mentor support
- Performance analytics
- PACE engine and XPERT Analysis of quizzes

Would make the product better:

Communication channels:
- Typically, mentor-mentee interaction happens over mail (with an occasional VC). This leads to communication gaps at times
- I conveyed this to the team, and they were accommodating enough to adopt other modes on a case-to-case basis

Hi, members of the community,
I'll keep this review as relevant and concise as possible.
Context:
As a final-year engineering student, my GMAT journey was marked by a firmer grasp of the Quant and DI sections. The official mock I attempted confirmed this, revealing a weaker Verbal section score that needed attention.
I started seeking help; a few of the options I considered were [1] offline coaching, [2] self-study from official guides & [3] online courses.

Decision factors:
Since I had to balance my preparation along with my internship and studies, I decided to go for a self paced online course.
There are a few prominent online courses; I chose e-GMAT as it was recommended to me by a senior who scored a 740 on his GMAT (he still says that if I am unable to achieve after completing the course, the issue is with me and not the course)
Their free C.R. session solidified my decision to purchase the e-GMAT course. In this 2-hour section, we tackled a few assumption questions. I immediately noticed a change in my approach, leading to improved accuracy. This experience convinced me of the course's potential to enhance my Verbal section performance.
Additionally, they were decently priced and provided a flexible extension policy.

Verbal:
e-GMAT follows a pre-thinking approach for all CR questions and employs reading strategies for RC questions, which break something as elementary as reading a paragraph into steps, ensuring maximum absorption and processing, which helps achieve better accuracy while answering.

Quant:
They have this unique P.A.C.E. learning model, which adds and removes learning modules based on your existing foothold in the topic; this came in handy to me, given that I wanted to spend less time in this section learning concepts I was already familiar with.
It helped save my time here and improved the overall learning experience.

DI:
In the early days of GFE, the DI section of a course is what makes or breaks it. e-GMAT has done well in covering every aspect in detail, using innovative animations and infographics. It made learning exciting and smooth, as DI questions might sometimes get daunting.

Overall:
e-GMAT follows a unique question-first learning & application approach in each section, wherein you attempt a question, and then they teach you the right approach to solve it stepwise.

Lastly, through this review, I want to thank the entire team at e-GMAT and especially my mentor, Abha, who believed in me in times I didn't.

Strengths would include-
- The amazing quality of the content for all the 3 sections
- The feedbacks that the mentors provide
- The seriousness with which the mentors take your progress
- Taking all the difficulty levels into account during preparation
- Nuance concepts that help a lot with time management on D-day

Would make the product better:

If some specific techniques for time and stress management are included in the course, it'll make it even better.

I recently undertook eGMAT's online course to prepare for the GMAT, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the comprehensive content to the invaluable mentorship, eGMAT has truly exceeded my expectations.

First and foremost, the quality of content across all sections is unparalleled. The material is meticulously crafted, covering every aspect of the GMAT syllabus in great detail. The structured approach made it easy for me to grasp even the most complex concepts.

The mentors at eGMAT are another highlight of the course. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in my preparation journey. They provided personalized support, addressing my doubts and concerns promptly, which significantly boosted my confidence.

Thanks to eGMAT, I was able to achieve a commendable score of 655 in my first attempt. However, if there's one area for improvement, it would be the verbal course. While the content is excellent, incorporating additional techniques to enhance time management would be beneficial.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend eGMAT to anyone preparing for the GMAT. Their commitment to excellence and dedication to student success are truly commendable. Thank you, eGMAT, for playing a pivotal role in my GMAT journey!

Strengths:

eGMAT offers the best-in-class Verbal preparation product for GMAT along with a great quality question bank for both Verbal and Quant. Verbal stood out for me as I saw significant improvement in my verbal score via eGMAT course material and guidance.

Would make the product better:

More full-length practice tests are required.

Best-in-class course material for both Verbal and Quant. The question-solving techniques in Verbal help improve scores significantly. After switching to eGMAT for preparation, I learned the meaning-based approach in Sentence Correction for the first time and it helped me improve my performance in verbal significantly. The difficulty level of eGMAT practice tests is in line with the actual GMAT difficulty level hence giving very predictive test scores. I worked with Dhruv on an accelerated performance improvement plan for 2 months and he was very supportive in terms of helping me with strategic measures to improve my score. Dhruv kept motivating me to push boundaries and give my best in the exam. I followed his guidance diligently and it made my preparation very easy and smooth. I am more than happy with my decision to prepare with eGMAT as eGMAT offers best-in-class material at best price value.

Strengths:

The strengths of the product are:
1. Concept files which explain the concepts just like you would do to a beginner.
2. Basic strategy building for both the Verbal and the Quant sections.
3. Structure of the course with practice quizzes following the concept files and cementing quizzes post sub-section completion.
4. Performance insights which illustrate your strengths and areas of improvement.
5. Constant support from the team on performance analysis and improvement feedback.

Would make the product better:

Some improvements to the product could be:
1. The question bank sometimes does return a similar question that has either previously been attempted or was discussed in one of the concept files. This has happened a few times for CR questions. Since the question was previously attempted, it does not help improving the ability. This repetitiveness is something which could be done away with.
2. A 1:1 support channel on the platform itself instead of away from the platform would enhance the experience.
3. The Verbal question bank could be enhanced with additional RC passages.

The eGMAT course is like a one-stop shop for your GMAT preparation.

I had started my preparation in July,2023 and took the test in January,2024. That accounts for six months of preparation time. However, this also includes the phases during which I had to take breaks from the preparation due to work demands. Negating that out, eGMAT prepares you for your D-Day in around three to four months of focussed effort.

The support team at eGMAT is always in for your queries and for providing regular feedback and improvement plans throughout your journey. It is this support that keeps students motivated towards the preparation and creates a positive impact about the product as a whole.

Moreover, an improvement of more than 100 points (considering I had taken the first mock test post SC preparation) in four months, for a first time test taker, is testament to the course structure, the performance insights which help you improve and the dedication of the team towards the success of its students.

Strengths:

Egmat has a very customized service and personalized attention based approach. The targeted improvement plans and encouragement serve as constant support to reach your target score. The Scholaranium is a very powerful tool with excellent questions of great quality and the data generated is very useful for targeted improvement

I was a student of e-GMAT prior to the pandemic, after which I took a break in my preparation. I re-started my prep in June 2023, with a target of a 740+ score in mind. Soon, I realized that I was nowhere close to my score since I was scoring in the late 600s and I wrote a frantic mail to e-GMAT to help me with the last mile push. This is when I was first introduced to Rashmi, one of the mentors at e-GMAT, who remained a constant backbone over the next couple of months and helped me score a 740 (V41 Q49).
Verbal had always been my strong suit, but I was quite weak in quant, which was pulling my score down. Rashmi crafted a quant improvement plan for me based on my strengths and weaknesses as displayed by the data on the e-GMAT portal. The PACE guided modules were extremely helpful to go through all the concepts and application files I needed. She helped me realize that while I was clear on most concepts, my process skills needed to be honed, for which she crafted a personalized improvement plan. The methodical plan, helpful content, and constant practice on the e-GMAT portal helped me improve from a Q45/46 to a Q49/50, and this is what I consider my biggest achievement.
For Verbal, while I was historically strong in the section, there were certain areas that needed to be improved to achieve my target score. The meaning-based sentence correction approach really helped me minimize my mistakes and helped me become a better reader, which ultimately assisted in the CR and RC sections.
I found e-GMAT’s scholaranium to be one of the most helpful tools for my practice, since I was constantly able to take custom quizzes as per the plan designed and review my performance based on the data recorded. It very accurately identified all my weak areas, enabling me to work and improve on them. I think the biggest contributor to my score was the constant personalized support from Rashmi and the e-GMAT team, who continuously pushed me to keep at my preparation and become better. During my preparation, I would write to them very frequently and would always get a response within 24 hours. This really helped me to remain motivated to practice every day and manage the preparation along with my hectic working hours. I would definitely recommend anyone preparing for their GMAT to trust in the process laid out by e-GMAT team and leverage their expertise to achieve your target score!

Strengths:

- Easy to use (user-friendly)
- Comprehensive and comparable to official guide questions
- Teaches how to develop skills to solve more difficult exercises

Would make the product better:

- Make it clearer how the test-readiness works (create plans for it)
- Make it more interactive to track whether you are following the plan or not

I highly recommend the e-gmat platform for those with limited study time. It greatly aids in organization and builds the necessary skills to tackle more complex exercises.

I've tried other platforms, but by far, E-Gmat has been the most effective for me.

Not only did it help me significantly increase my verbal score, but it also helped me solidify my quant to an exceptional level.


For a while, I thought I wouldn't be able to score at least a 645 (old 700) on the test. However, by actively using the platform and reaching out to their customer support, I did manage to achieve a good score. Surely, with their support, I could have scored even higher, but my nerves got the best of me, haha.

It's been said that the Indians are the best, and I can only agree!!!
