Strengths:
1. Quality of questions: The questions, especially in quant, test the very core concepts on a very high level. Each question highlights a key concept and helps you get a better understanding of where you stand concerning your quant skills
2. Scholaranium: An amazing tool that helps you get "test-ready. It is truly a masterpiece for all those who want to improve your time management and overall test-taking strategy
3. Mentorship: eGMAT is more than just an online course. It acts as an accountability partner. The mentors at eGMAT truly hand-hold you throughout your test prep and help you get a better understanding of how to prepare yourself for D-day
Would make the product better:
1. Better solutions: The solutions are good. But there are quite a few questions that I believe could have a better solution set
2. Less waiting time to post a doubt: You are given a limit on the number of questions that one can ask in a fixed time period. Sometimes, the waiting time for the limit to expire can hamper the study phase
I believe that eGMAT along with OG questions is more than enough for someone to perform well on the test. It is a one-stop solution to all your GMAT hurdles. Be it conceptual understanding or test readiness, eGMAT covers it all. The mentors at eGMAT are so approachable. They guide you at every step of the way. No matter how low you have performed on a quiz or how anxious you are about the test, the mentors know exactly how to reason with you and bring the best version of yourself.
QUANT:
I think eGMAT is underrated for its quant. It truly deserves applause for its concept files, quant quizzes, test-taking strategies and more. The concept files are very detailed. No matter how good (or not so good) you are in quant, eGMAT will help you boost your understanding and overall performance on this section GUARANTEED (of course, provided you put in a genuine effort and get involved in the process) They have broken down the quant in such easy to understand language. To top it all, they flood you with so many high-quality practice questions that, upon completion, you get so much clarity on the topic under discussion.
VERBAL: eGMAT lives up to its reputation. It has literally mastered this section and made an entire program that makes verbal smooth sailing for the student. It is a very comprehensive, very detailed, and highly intensive course. You cannot cut corners, You need to put in the hours. But once you do so, the rewards are waiting for you to reap. I want to specifically talk about their RC section. It is the shortest of all the three sub-sections (w.r.t hours of studying) on its platform but it is so impactful. eGMAT has videos that help the student work on his/her comprehension skills. How to read, when to pause and take notes (if you want to take notes), how to comprehend, the key traits of successful reading and more... they have you covered for everything on the RC section.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE:
1. eGMAT is a well-structured program. You are first asked to take one of their mocks - SigmaX - and based on your performance a starting score is established. Then, your target score is asked for and accordingly, a road map to your studying is created.
2. In each section and each sub-section detailed concept videos are provided. After completion of each sub-topic, you have concept questions under timed and non-trimmed conditions to solve. Once you reach the minimum threshold asked by them you move on to the next sub-topic. In doing so, the student not only gets an understanding of the concept under discussion but truly masters the skillset required to ace the topic
3. Once you are done with the concept phase, you move to the Scholaranium platform which helps you hone your test-taking skills. This is a game-changer. It floods you with all the details of your performance - accuracy, time, strengths, weaknesses, and much more.
4. Once you complete the threshold on the Scholaranium platform, you move on to the mock phase. Here, you are asked to take another Sigma X mock. And believe me, if you perform well on their mocks, you are sure to do well on the GMAT, period!
My final advice: For anyone who wants to understand the key concepts tested on the GMAT, who wants to improve their test-taking skills, who wants to break their score plateau or who wants to get a high score eGAMT is the answer. Try it and test it yourself.
Strengths:
Great offering in the overall GMAT online course landscape (especially given its price-point).
E-GMAT does a good job of covering the fundamentals and building good habits from early on (which in my opinion can be the difference maker)
Would make the product better:
Nothing drastic - Maybe, covering more depth in RC for Verbal.
I would highly recommend using E GMAT in addition to the standard open source resources such as GMAT Official Guide and the GMAT club platform. E GMAT made a huge difference in my SC prep. After a certain point, GMAT tests you by asking if you can bend certain rules and evaluate trade-offs between ambiguity and grammar. E GMAT does a good job of showing the user these type of questions so they understand the importance of not eliminating certain options immediately because of basic grammar rules. (ambiguity in meaning is the ultimate test in the SC section of Verbal)

Strengths:
The best parts of e-gmat are the quality of the verbal section and the quality of the mentors assigned to you in the e-gmat online 360 program. My mentor was Akash Aggarwal and he helped me to identify my weak areas and stay focused till the exam day.
Would make the product better:
One improvement area- e-gmat can include better short live classes instead of 3-4 hour classes. This will improve the attention span and will give the students the motivation to join these classes
My journey to 700 is a story of consistency. I started my preparations in late 2022 from e-gmat. Being a non-native English speaker, I was naturally weak in English. However, the best parts of e-gmat were the quality of the verbal section and how it taught me from the basics.
Although the initial learning process was smooth, I wasn't able to perform well in my section exams. That's when the team e-gmat voluntarily enrolled me in its online 360 program and assigned me Akash Aggarwalm as the mentor. Akash helped me in three areas:
1) Identifying my fundamental weakness in each sub-section
2) Create customized tests for me to improve on the weak areas
3) Create a pre and post mock test strategy to get e ready for the exam day
I would suggest the GMAT aspirants to try the e-gmat online course as the quality of the content and their mentors is unparalleled in the industry. Also, just believe in yourself and go an extra mile to realise your dreams.
Strengths:
e-GMAT has a structured course that helps students build strong fundamentals, irrespective of their varied abilities during the start of preparation.
The verbal section covers all the important aspects for a student to reach the V40 mark on the test.
SigmaX mocks of e-GMAT are a game changer for aspirants seeking game-changing feedback on mock tests.
Would make the product better:
e-GMAT's tech team can improve the compatibility of the product Safari browser.
After getting a 680 on my initial GMAT attempt, I had mixed feelings as the score was at the average mark. I knew that to improve my score, I had to work on my weaker areas. After having read multiple reviews on GMAT forums, I decided to opt for e-GMAT. The AI-based course helped me accurately identify my shortcomings. Focused prep in these areas, helped me strengthen the concepts, building a strong foundation. The last mile push, courtesy of Sigma-x mocks, coupled with the timely support from the e-GMAT mentors, ensured that I was test-ready, with me scoring 730 on the test day.

Strengths:
Practice test has resemblance to actual GMAT test and the analysis provided on the answers are very helpful as well
Would make the product better:
May be they are make the interface a bit better, the navigation can be improved
e-gmat helped me to develop my verbal skills, I saw a marked improvement in verbal score from V28 to V38 after I used e-gmat, this also helped me to improve the overall score from 640 to 700. The practice test (Scholarium) were very helpful and it helped me to understand the mistakes I was making. The analysis provided helped me to increase my accuracy. Besides, the mock test were aligned with GMAT test, and my final GMAT score was very close to the marks i got in my last 3 mocks. The quants section was also up to the mark , though i would say it was on the tougher side than actual test. At the end i believe e-gmat has the best content for serous GMAT takers.
Hi alankar70
Heartfelt Congratulations to you on your 700 score!
A 60-point overall improvement doubled with a 10-point Verbal improvement (V28 to V38) is certainly an accomplishment that needs to be shared and spread.
Your diligence throughout this journey has been at the core of your success.
You followed every suggested process to the ‘TEE’. Your improvement in your SC abilities was mainly due to the combination of your sincerity and the Meaning-based approach can be seen in the image below.

At the end it all comes down to predicting success. Th score you attained in your last Mock is just 10-points shy of your actual test score. Hence you could predict that you were well on your way to success.

alankar70, it was a pleasure working closely with you towards your target score. We wish you the best for the next steps!

Strengths:
1) tailored approach
2) unlimited number of resources across Scholarium module and articles database for questions / concept clearing
3) figured out the right teaching approach from basics -> cementing -> testing
4) smartly identifying gaps in knowledge and working to fill them
5) responsive support
Would make the product better:
1) better/more seamless way to access official OG questions
2) live chat for more urgent queries
I was using myriad other programs before being connected to Rashmi at eGMAT. The difference between these platforms and eGMAT was the 1) tailored approach and 2) unlimited number of resources across Scholarium, module and articles database for questions / concept clearing. Also, the coach (Rashmi) was there every step of the way as a guiding light. I think eGMAT has figured out the right approach – 1) basics, 2) cementing the foundation and 3) testing to master comprehension in both Quant and Verbal. Especially in Verbal, the meaning-based approach & pre-thinking reading strategies, which are key to doing well in this section, are taught really well. eGMAT’s platform smartly uses AI to analyze and surface gaps in your knowledge so you always know where you should be paying more attention. The support via email & forum discussions is top-notch and very responsive. The current turnaround time is less than 24 hours.
Strengths:
Detailed videos
Concept files
Practice Quizzes
Performance Dashboard
Would make the product better:
Timing seemed to be quite lengthy and it is a significant time investment for a candidate, who is already in a busy job schedule. Look if you can optimize the concept video timings.
Hello everyone,
I gave my GMAT 1st attempt during August'2023, scored a mere 600 (Q47,V27). I was not happy with the score.
I took a few days break after the exam, during this period I introspected on my strengths and weaknesses, my study pattern etc. and I realized I need help for verbal section, and after some searching I decided to go with eGMAT . I liked the Personalized Study Plan (PSP) approach, the PSP helped by breaking down the entire preparation schedule with respect to my target score and current score.
I started with SC and completed the courses end to end. By the time I was done 50% of the course I could already feel improvement in understanding of the SC questions.
The approach of breaking down a question in segments was especially helpful to understand the intended meaning.
Through the concept quizzes and practice quizzes, ideas were reinforced and areas of conceptual gaps were identified and subsequently worked upon.
Then I went for the cementing quizzes and even though initially I did not achieve the target score but eventually I did by following the process.
Post completion of the Cementing quizzes I moved on to OG questions. I solved close to 80-100 questions only this time but I did detail analysis of each question of where I went right and wrong or took more time.
In November I took another shot at GMAT and time I scored 700 (Q48,V37). Verbal score improved by 10 points.
Being a working professional, I did not had enough time to cover the CR and RC sections. But I recommend fellow students to go through the master comprehension section, this will set up the base if you are weak in verbal. Also SC being a foundation section the improved ability in SC helped me decipher CR questions much faster, which in turn helped me to logically deconstruct RC passages.
Overall eGMAT module helped me to
1. Build a solid conceptual foundation and take right approach to GMAT.
2. Schedule the daily study time with its time tracker
3. Pin point areas of strengths and weaknesses with its AI enabled dashboards
Thanks and I wish all the aspirants Good Luck!
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I would highly recommend e-GMAT as the bible when it comes to GMAT preparation. My 120 point score improvement from 580 to 700, is because of the detailed and meticulously built course content and processes of the course.
e-GMAT recommends the 3 stages of learning – first, you go through the concepts and quizzes. Second, is the cementing stage and third, test readiness.
I found the cementing stage to be the most crucial step in my journey as I faltered on many cementing quizzes when completing certain sub-sections. This exposed my gaps in preparation and helped mitigate them immediately.
Quant was my weaker section, so I worked on that first and completed the entire course. After taking GMAT twice, I can confidently say the e-GMAT course covers every topic tested on the exam and if you follow the processes mentioned, scoring high will not be an issue.
Verbal course was also extremely detailed, where the course starts right from the basics and covers advance concepts tested with sufficient examples and applications.
The most invaluable part of this journey was the mentor support. On writing to e-GMAT team, I was assigned Akash Aggarwal as my mentor who guided me through this entire journey.
Overall, if you are considering different products for your GMAT preparation, only buy one – the e-GMAT course. Trust me, you don’t need any other resource – not even OG books or GMAT club questions!
Strengths:
Scholaranium
Meaning approach to SC
Error log approach
Would make the product better:
Have option to set pace for videos
Overall a good course. The meaning based approach to SC really helps understand the sentence and improve SC. The scholaranium platform helps you identify weak areas and work towards it. Creating error log using the approach suggested by the course and going through it frequently helps you understand your repeat mistakes and avoid them in future. The prethinking approach for CR helps you analyze answer choices better. The enrollment in LMP program also really helped by defining timelines and pushing me to complete the tasks within the given time. The level of quant is a bit higher than what is expected in the official GMAT test
