Strengths:

Would make the product better:

Quant Lessons
Option to schedule 1 or 2 ,1-1 with Instructor/experts

I decided to go with e-gmat course based on the GMAT forum reviews and my experience using the free trial . I’ve studied using the e-gmat online course for almost 16 months and hence this review will be as detailed as possible outlining the advantages , mistakes to avoid, and how to effectively use this course.

I started with a free consultation call with e-gmat to understand how to use this course and to get a study plan. I like how the mentor was detailed in his approach and was focused on explaining , not selling. I took a free trial and was impressed with the platform UI and resources available.

Platform review : The UI is extremely easy to use with a good structure to it . The split of Verbal and Quant, further sub section splits, study planner, scholaranium with both e-gmat and OG question bank in one place, bookmark and notes section, accuracy metrics etc - each of these things were really helpful for me in planning my time, revising concepts and improving on weak topics .
I’ve used Study planner every day to input the hours I was putting in and the planner accordingly adjusts the expected time of course completion .
I would bookmark the questions which I wanted to review once and would use the notes tab to input my though process, improvement areas and approach issues . The questions where you’ve put notes will move to separate tab which can be used for your final review list in last days.

Course Content Review:
Verbal :
SC - The meaning based approach is the only way to ace 700+ level questions . The questions in the official exam move away from basic grammatical errors as you level up , and even if there are some grammatical errors it would be very difficult to identify them. I was extremely weak in SC initially, getting only 50-60% accuracy even in medium questions , but with lot of effort , cementing the process, following the e-gmat approach - my accuracy went to 80% in Hard questions .
The process to solve a question is extremely standardised, if you do the Course (practice files and application files ) as suggested it will become second nature .

CR - The Prethinking framework is useful for Medium level questions. I personally, wasn’t able to benefit much from it in Hard level . 
But what would help definitely is the framework , the mapping and visualisation habit of premise and understanding of the question statement .
The framework to make a falsification scenario, the swing test for evaluate questions, the table mapping in boldface questions were extremely useful.

RC - I am not an avid reader and I would average 6-7 mins reading time in long passages initially . With some of the concept files like Master Comprehension and Keyword importance taught by Harsha I was able to achieve high accuracy in RC and reduce time to 4-5 mins.

Quant : If you’re aiming for 48+ in Quant , there is very little chance to do it with just OG questions . I was consistently getting Q50-51 in official mocks and almost 90% accuracy in OG questions , but the official GMAT test was far from them .
The e-gmat course is extremely detailed, the foundation and approach is strengthened in the course and then by practicing Hard e-gmat questions from Scholaranium I was able to achieve Q49 . Probably , would’ve managed a Q50 if I didn’t get 4 Set theory questions :/

Strategy and Mentorship :
Dhruv Joshi, e-gmat mentor, has been instrumental in motivating me, providing study plan and helping me achieve 730 . He was a constant help and support for a period of 1.5 years . I would often have good accuracy but troubled time management. This is where Dhruv helped me understand how skill is function of both time and accuracy , in identifying timing issues, reducing TAKT time, and employing skipping strategy where required . He was able to provide me realistic and effective study plans based on my improvement areas and availability.

Few Important tips :
Do not break the structure of the course - Trust the process and, accuracy and timing will get better with time . A big reason I was having inconsistent accuracy , extreme anxiety and low scores in my first attempt was me not following the exact structure .

Use mocks when required - E-gmat gives 5 mocks, which Imo are bit less . The quality of these mocks is at par with official exam , hence plan these mocks when there is a notable improvement in preparation. Use custom quizzes to improve the Test readiness , which can replace need of mocks to some extent .

Be in touch with mentor : Be in constant touch of your assigned mentor. Even a chit chat on prep issues, exam anxiety, day to day tips from mentor can act as a stress reliever .


Small platform suggestion for e-gmat : I would solve, say, 100 questions total in SC, and when I would take a custom 20 question quiz of attempted questions some of the questions would come multiple times and some not that often . So if there is a counter at backend to count the number of times a question has come in quiz , it will make sure the questions appear uniformly . This will make sure during revisions we see all questions.

How e-Gmat helped me score a 730

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 90 Points

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

Strengths:

Signature Meaning Based Approach - e-Gmat doesn't teach shortcuts but focusses on the meaning and building blocks of every topic in quants and verbal. A student just needs to follow the process diligently and you can easily score 700+.

Quality & Quantity of questions - The question quality is so great that every question teaches a student something new. Also there are several 100s of questions - one will never run out of new questions in any area.

The best verbal SMEs - Amazing mentors. They are so good at the subject that even if you are not very good at any topic, they will ensure that you easily understand each and every aspect of the subject.

Would make the product better:

Just one suggestion . In cementing (application quizzes), eGmat can add a few easy cementing quizzes to start with. The problem with starting directly with medium difficulty questions is that if a student doesn't do well, it's very easy to get demotivated. So may be a few warm up easy questions in a timed environment to begin with will help.

Why e-Gmat – I was not very good at verbal and I happened to come across the e-Gmat YouTube channel which has a lot of free content. I was very impressed, both with the quality of teaching as well as the quality of questions and I immediately decided to enroll with E Gmat.

Course Quality – The E Gmat course starts from ground zero and teaches you the most basic stuff. So even if you are not in touch with verbal/ quants for years, it becomes very easy to follow the course. It even has a master comprehension course which teaches you how to read a sentence with strategic pauses. The questions are graded in such a manner that the difficulty level increases as you complete each module.

Consistent Approach – Hands down, EGMAT is the best when it comes to the approach – be it in SC, CR or RC. It does not teach you shortcuts which often cannot be replicated across questions, but focuses on a meaning-based approach that teaches you the nuances of the topic which will help you to solve any question irrespective of the difficulty level.

Cementing Quizzes – These are application quizzes and there are several hundreds of questions that one can never complete all of them. The best part here is that the course tells you how many quizzes you need to attempt for each difficulty level and the minimum score that you need to get in these quizzes before you can proceed to the next module.
Such practice ensures that a student gets enough practice before he moves on to the next question.

Advance Algorithms – You can drill down on your performance in any area with e-Gmat’s user friendly and advanced dashboards and you get to know the exact sub areas where you are performing well and the areas where you need to go back and revise.

Support from Strategy Experts – I first wrote to the EGmat expert team on March 27, 2023 and I wrote my Gmat on Sept 20, 2023. During this period, there were so many emails exchanged between me and one of the e-Gmat Strategy experts, Akash Aggarwal. He guided me in every step and I can’t thank him enough for my GMAT score.

The best Verbal Mentor Payal Tandon – When I started my GMAT preparation, I found it difficult to even identify verbs in a sentence. Payal is so outstanding in her explanations that one thing I will miss post my exam now is listening to her videos. I attended a lot of her recorded seminars as well and she would often tell her students to ask themselves a simple question while trying to solve the question - Does this make sense. Now every time, I read a question – Payal’s voice would echo in my ears and I ask myself a lot of probe questions while trying to arrive at the answer.

Note – My review above is mostly on verbal as I had a strong base in quants. But needless to say, even the quants course of e-Gmat is outstanding.

Dear ParikshitSaikia,

Congratulations on your score of 730 with a remarkable V41! A 90-point improvement overall is a phenomenal achievement and everyone here at e-GMAT is so happy to have been a part of your journey.

Scoring a V41 in Verbal is not an easy feat to achieve. It is possible only when you showcase consistency and dedication throughout your journey. You’ve discussed a great strategy for tackling RC passages where you are not acquainted with the topics of the passages. Through these strategies, your statistics across three subsections in Verbal in hard questions as shown in the below image, predict your amazing verbal score.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ParikshitSaikia-Verbal-Schol-Statistics

You showed phenomenal consistency in all subsections of Quant because of which you were able to get a Q49 in the exam. The below image shows your Quant statistics from Scholaranium which displays your hardwork –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ParikshitSaikia-Quant-Schol-Statistics

With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam certain. The below image shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/ParikshitSaikia-Mocks-Scores

We appreciate your feedback, but the purpose behind no easy cementing quizzes is that the student will already go through a lot of practice quizzes in the modules which consist of easy and medium questions. This practice leads to a strong foundation of basics.

With your zeal, you managed to achieve excellence in the GMAT exam. I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination and I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

Regards,
Akash

Course e-GMAT Online 360

e-GMAT played a pivotal role in helping me achieve a good GMAT score. The comprehensive and structured course offered by e-GMAT not only improved my understanding of the GMAT concepts but also significantly boosted my confidence. The personalized study plan tailored to my strengths and weaknesses was a game-changer. It ensured that I focused my efforts on areas where I needed the most improvement, ultimately saving me precious study time.

Diving deeper into the verbal section:
1. Sentence Correction:
e-GMAT's "meaning-based" approach to Sentence Correction truly changed my approach towards this sub-section. Instead of relying solely on grammar rules, e-GMAT emphasized understanding the intended meaning behind each sentence. This approach not only made Sentence Correction more intuitive but also vastly improved my accuracy in this section.

2. Critical Reasoning:
Furthermore, e-GMAT's emphasis on "prethinking" for Critical Reasoning questions was a true game-changer. It taught me to anticipate the correct answer by fully grasping the argument's structure and identifying potential flaws.

And lastly, I'd like to thank Dhruv, my mentor, for his invaluable support and guidance throughout this journey. He was always readily available to clarify doubts and provide valuable insights. Throughout my preparation, he not only suggested ways of improvement, but also equipped me with the skills and confidence needed to excel in my GMAT prep.

Strengths:

1) Course outline and organisation into skill blocks
2) Data driven analytical approach to your test data
3) Cementing quizzes and error log

Would make the product better:

Maybe the course should mention somewhere that the Quant section is harder than the actual exam. I stuck through with Quant till the end but knowing this beforehand would have definitely made it easier!

I'd also recommend to improve the quality of the CR questions and use OG questions where possible as they are the most well made.

Lastly, it is probably too much to ask but maybe the Verbal section can have two approaches. The existing one for non-native speakers and a solving-by-your-ear type approach for those more well versed in English (in this area gmat ninja's answers on the SC questions on the GC forum are invaluable).

I initially gave the GMAT in 2016 when I graduated and scored a 680. I do not have the sectional scores but the verbal was around V40 and the math score was poor. For several reasons, I decided to retake the GMAT 7 years later and apply to the top MBA programs.

My case is unique in that I struggled with Quant section rather than the Verbal. I had a couple of bad maths teachers in high school, hated maths in O levels and never gave it in A Levels either.

I decided to firstly fix my foundation in Math. I chose the EGMAT because:

1) There are too many resources out there and it is not possible as a working professional to design your own study materials based on everything available out there for free.
2) I heard good reviews about EGMAT and especially that the Quant section was great.

I started off the course in February 2023 and decided to not settle an exam data beforehand and just see where the course takes me.

I would highly recommend EGMAT for several reasons:

1) The course is comprehensive for both Quant and Verbal. Every section starts off with a diagnostic that judges your ability in that area (for e.g. number properties > Even/Odd Numbers). Based on how well you perform on the diagnostic, the EGMAT algo skips certain lessons and tells you to do some other ones. This saves time.

2) The course is well organised in blocks of skills that you need. This gives you confidence.

3) Rather than approach the test from the mindset of "lets find you quick tricks to figure out complex problems", the course makes you do the proper math behind every problem. This was excruciatingly painful and time confusing for me but it was also extremely useful. a) It gives you confidence in your ability > less nerves on the actual test b) if you come across a very unique question, you have a solid foundation to fall back on.

4) The analytics for me were one of the two best parts of the course. Every question you solve gives you data: your accuracy in certain skill blocks, how quickly you answered the question and how quickly others have done on similar problems. This insight is very useful as it keeps timing in the back of your head from the very start.

5) The second best part of the course for me was the Cementing Quizzes. These quizzes are blocks of 10 questions that test your ability on a particular topic. EGMAT says that if you get 70% accuracy on the "Medium" and 50% accuracy on the "Hard" quizzes, you should be at 70th percentile. I was sceptical of this at first but it was very accurate for me. I consistently scored Q48-49 on practice mocks and scored Q48 on the actual test.

Moving on to the verbal section, the critical reasoning section was the best for me. The pre-thinking concept is a game changer when solving CR questions. These questions can get very tricky at the higher levels and pre-thinking can help you really ace those questions. The instruction is clear and concise and the course is neither too short nor too long.

I didn't make much use of the RC/SC sections so I can not comment on that. I will however say that you will find the SC portion very useful if you are a non-native English speaker with somewhat moderate/poor skills with the language. It is almost impossible to develop an ear for the SC questions (unless you already speak/write really well and read alot). If that's you, I'd highly recommend the structured approach of the verbal section.

That being said, I didn't make much use of SC for myself since this was not a problem area for me.

I have some other general advice for any test taker:

1) DO NOT SKIP the error log. It is one of those things that you wonder why you are wasting your time on it (especially when time is short!) but is extremely useful and will help you study methadically

2) The EGMAT Quant section is harder than the actual exam by a fair margin. This is a GOOD things as it prepares you very well for the actual exam and helps with both timing and accuracy

3) You should spend 80% of your time learning concepts and mastering those and only 20% of your time doing practices and mocks. Repeated mocks will NOT improve your score meaningfully. If you have an accuracy problem > master the foundations. If you have a timing problem > master the foundations!

4) On the verbal section of the exam, draw a 5 x 5 grid (like an excel sheet). The top row should be labelled A, B, C, D, E and the first column should have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Make three of these for all 30 questions. As you read the SC questions, use grammatical errors to identify and cross out 3/5 choices. These will leave you with two choices. This is where it gets harder. If you can't find grammatical mistakes anymore, chose the more elegant solution (which may not always be the shorter solution!).

Background:
Before joining e-GMAT, I tried T.O.P One Percent because they claimed to be the best and boasted about students getting top scores every day. Sadly, they didn't teach me anything, and it felt like a waste of time and money. I even doubted their honesty. After two and a half months of learning nothing from them, I took my first GMAT test and got a 680, all on my own. I realized I needed help to do better, so I looked for something different.
Why e-GMAT?
I needed a flexible way to learn because I had a busy schedule like many of you. e-GMAT offered that flexibility. I could study at my own pace and choose when to take the exam, whether in 15 days or a month.
About e-GMAT:
What's great about e-GMAT is that they focus on helping you build your skills. They understand that the GMAT tests your abilities, so they prepare you accordingly.
e-GMAT's course covers master comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, and reading comprehension. In master comprehension, they teach you how to read effectively during the exam, which is very helpful, especially for non-native speakers. Their pre-thinking and meaning-based approaches are awesome. With critical reasoning, where answer choices are very close, pre-thinking is essential.
The course gives enough time for each section, and e-GMAT provides useful tools like Scholarnium to track your progress and Sigma X mocks that resemble real GMAT tests.
Strategy Experts:
One of the best things about e-GMAT is the support of experienced GMAT experts like Rashmi Ma'am. She helped me a lot by analyzing my quizzes and providing videos from GMAT experts like Harsha Sir when I needed them.
LMP (Last Mile Prep):
The LMP program teaches you about the GMAT algorithm, time management, and how to be ready for the test.
In short, if you're preparing for the GMAT, I highly recommend e-GMAT. Their flexible program, expert guidance, and useful tools will help you succeed.

My GMAT Journey from 670 to 720

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Course e-GMAT Online 360

I started my GMAT journey with a focus on mastering the fundamental concepts, rather than relying on shortcuts or tricks. Based on recommendations from friends, I subscribed to eGMAT on March 23, 2023, took a mock exam in which I scored 640 and began my dedicated studies.
I Started with the Verbal section, following the structured approach outlined in the course. For Critical Reasoning, I found that pre-thinking and strong elimination strategies worked exceptionally well, making this section my best. Sentence Correction was a challenge for me as English wasn't my strong suit. I delved into the basics, learning all the rules and then shifted my focus to a meaning-based approach. Over time, I discovered that dedicating significant time to understanding the question's meaning increased my accuracy from 40% to around 80%.
Reading Comprehension posed difficulties due to the language and passage volume, but I adopted a dedicated approach. I read passages wholeheartedly, which, though time-consuming initially, eventually enabled me to connect with the content. This connection made reading even long passages easier. Combining this approach with elimination strategies increased my accuracy from 50% to around 80%.
Parallely, I revisited the Quant module, covering concepts and solving quizzes. After completing the module, I took Sigma mocks, consistently scoring around 740 in the remaining five mocks. Based on these scores, I booked the exam appointment GMAT for July 21, 2023, and began revising through eGMAT's recommended Last Mile program.
However, my test day turned into a disappointment as I scored 670 (Q49, V31). It was a huge learning, highlighting the importance of test-taking strategy and time management. My time management was abysmal; I completed the verbal section in just 45 minutes. Exam stress didn’t let me follow my practiced approach.
Afterward, I consulted with Dhruv, my mentor from eGMAT, who emphasized the need to simulate the exam environment. I promptly scheduled a second appointment for August 22, 2023. I focused less on syllabus content and more on practicing my approach with mocks and official questions. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the best health on the second exam day, waking up with a headache. I decided to switch the order, taking the quant section first. By the time I reached the verbal section, my headache had disappeared, and I felt much better. During the verbal section, I stuck to the strategies I had learned, particularly the meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction and Elimination framework for RC and CR.
IR and AWA were not my top priorities, so I gave them my best without excessive worry. Upon completing the exam, my score flashed on the screen: 720 (Q49, V40). I wanted to jump out of my chair, but I controlled myself as other candidates were still taking their exams. This experience taught me the value of preparation for the test-taking environment and the importance of adhering to my well-practiced approach.

Strengths:

- First thing that stood out for me was the weekly plan that e-gmat provides once you enter your target score. This really gives one a good picture of the time needed per week to cover all the concepts.
- The course material is very strong. They focus on approaches and techniques to really solve GMAT questions well. Payal does a wonderful job explaining the concepts.
The question bank that e-gmat has is very strong. It is highly representative of the official GMAT questions and in some cases is also harder which makes students well prepared/
- The portal is easy to use and the analytics provided is very helpful. The Sigma X Mocks are very insightful and very similar to the official GMAT (better than the official mocks which are generally slightly on the easier end)

Would make the product better:

None at this point. It is one of the most comprehensive products available for preparing for GMAT.

I had already given the GMAT once on Jul 11, 2023. I got only a 700. Although, I touched the 700 mark i felt my skills were lacking especially in Verbal. Many questions in the exam went over my head and I was not having a strong approach to solving RC and CR questions. As soon as my exam got done, I knew I have to retake it. I googled and came across e-gmat.
I chose e-gmat because 1) It had its own question bank which I desperately needed since I had pretty much exhausted the OG questions during my first prep and 2) it provided me with a week by week plan on how to tackle learning the concepts.

I immediately enrolled and within 1-2 days got a study plan from one of the assigned mentors. I started and found the Verbal modules very good for SC and CR. The meaning-based approach in SC was quite eye-opening and sub-consciously strengthened my concepts that I ended up getting 98th percentile in SC n my second official attempt. I also had a significant improvement in CR. The pre-thinking approach was very helpful in breaking down complex CR arguments. Earlier, I was always confused between two options, but pre-thinking hugely improved my accuracy. These are the areas I primarily needed improvement and the course material really strengthened my concepts.

Once I was good with the concepts, the in-module quizzes and the cementing quizzes really helped me to become test ready. I actually found the Hard cementing quizzes harder than some 700 level GMAT questions. Initially, this did appear daunting especially for Quant but when you start solving such high quality questions, you are really well prepped for any tough question the official GMAT throws at you.

Once the necessary prep was done, the Sigma-X mocks were very very helpful. The block wise analysis that the mock provides really helps you identify weak areas and helps you focus on getting higher scores. These exams are very very similar in level to the official exam. The official mocks are in fact little easier and can be misleading. I did find the sigma-X mocks from e-gmat to be quite accurate.

Lastly, the strategy experts who help with 1x1 guidance were very good. I worked with Akash, who was very supportive throughout and corrected me when I went offtrack.

Overall, e-gmat is highly comprehensive, helps one build their fundamentals, has great questions and mocks which can make you test ready and I highly recommend it for anyone at any level of preparedness who wants to take the GMAT.

My journey to 740 in the GMAT with e-GMAT

In my 1st attempt at GMAT, I scored a 710 (Q50 V34). For my 1st attempt, I had solved OG questions and taken official GMAT practice tests but I was inconsistent with my Verbal scores, probably because of lack of proper techniques for various question types and lack of knowledge of my weaknesses in specific Verbal question types.

So, after my 1st attempt, I evaluated various perp providers. e-GMAT stood out to me as they seem to have a very robust data-driven platform which can reveal a test-taker’s specific weaknesses in question types. When I spoke to an e-GMAT representative, he told me that I was eligible for Last Mile Push (LMP) Program for Personalized Preparation guidance by a mentor. The data-driven platform and LMP sealed the deal for me and I went ahead with e-GMAT.

Experience with e-GMAT platform:
Highlights from Verbal section:
• e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension section was extremely helpful. Although test-takers may be able to read English, they may not be good at reading English for GMAT. Learning how to read properly for the test can make a massive difference in Verbal.

• The course is laid out in a systematic manner which helped me build my Verbal abilities starting with fundamental building blocks and thinking frameworks of various question types and ending with full-fledged GMAT style questions.

• This gradual ramp up helped me digest various techniques and processes and enabled me to be more consistent with my Verbal scores.

• The platform accumulates high quality data in-depth data about accuracies in various sub-sections in Verbal. Specifically, I found out that I was consistently weak at Strengthen questions which was a big revelation to me. So, I worked on my understanding of Assumptions and Strengthen questions. This helped me be equally good with all Verbal sub-sections which is required for an overall better score.

• This deep-dive data is really useful for working test-takers like me who have limited time which they can devote to test prep.

Highlights from Quant section:
Since I was fairly confident with Quant section, I jumped straight into e-GMAT’s practice question bank. Again, the data from the platform pointed out niche areas in Quant which I brushed up. The key with Quant for me was to keep the ability at the same level while I improved in Verbal.

The PACE engine helped me to skip those parts of the course which I was already good at, save precious time and direct my efforts towards the sections which were most relevant to me.

The Quant process skills highlighted in the course were crucial to deal with the silly mistakes which I made sometimes in tricky questions.

In both Verbal and Quant, for each question, there is an active Q&A forum with discussions between the students and experts. These discussions helped save time whenever I had any doubts, which were almost always asked by previous students and resolved by mentors.

For my 2nd attempt at GMAT, almost 95% or more of the questions which I solved were from e-GMAT and I only took Sigma-X mocks. I believe that their question bank and mocks are of a high standard and more than sufficient for GMAT prep.

Experience with LMP and my e-GMAT mentor:
My e-GMAT mentor for the LMP program is Abha. She has been extremely helpful throughout my prep for the test. She (and other e-GMAT mentors from time to time) has been a source of crucial guidance, support and constant feedback for regular course correction during my prep. GMAT prep can be a very challenging journey with constant ups and downs. Having a mentor watching over the whole process, guiding you in the right direction, giving words of encouragement at the right time, helping you navigating the course in the most time efficient manner and just being there as someone to share your prep-related difficulties is of immeasurable value.

I scored 740 (Q50 V39) in my 2nd GMAT attempt. Based on my experience with e-GMAT, I would highly recommend it to my fellow test-takers.

Hi sdgmat23,

Congratulations on your outstanding 740!!

Abha this side from e-GMAT, it was a pleasure mentoring you on this journey.

From the very beginning, it was evident that you approached your GMAT preparations with a clear and well-thought-out plan. I've seen you put in the effort to understand the nuances of each question type, especially in the Verbal section, and it's been a pleasure to witness your progress. Here is an image where you have improved from 50% to 80% accuracy in hard questions in SC.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/sdgmat23-SC-accuracy-improved-to-80percent

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the Master Comprehension section's value in GMAT preparation. You've rightly pointed out that while many test-takers can read English, reading effectively for the GMAT is an entirely different skill.

The fact that you recognized the need to improve in Verbal, focused on strengthening your understanding of Assumptions and Strengthen questions, and achieved a well-balanced Verbal score of V39 is nothing short of remarkable. Here is image where you can be seen diligently putting in the efforts to master the Assumptions concept.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/sdgmat23-diligence-effort-to-master-Assumptions

You leveraged the platform in the right manner - usage of the P.A.C.E. engine and the active Q&A forum, shows your willingness to go the extra mile to ensure you were well-prepared for the GMAT. Here is an image where you are performing exceptionally well across Quant sub-sections.

I want to congratulate you wholeheartedly on your success. As you take the next steps in your academic journey, I have no doubt that your diligence and determination will continue to serve you well.

All the best!

Regards
Abha Mohan

Strengths:

Extensive coaching by a Mentor, thorough analysis, and 1:1 coaching.

My GMAT journey has been a long one. I originally prepared with another test prep company and scored a 700 in November 2022. As my mock score were way higher I wanted to give another attempt, which was when I encountered e-gmat's Last Mile Push Program. I worked with my mentor Dhruv for 2-3 months and he has done an outstanding job in leaving no stones unturned. During this process, I finished all the course work again even though I already did the entire preparation part through another test prep company so that EGMAT's algorithm could find my strengths and my weaknesses. After completing the course work, my mentor Dhruv gave rigorous exercises almost every few other for the 2-3 months. I also did all the questions on scholaranium, which is a great resource by the way. The tests on scholaranium are a great way to build endurance required for the actual exam. Though I found a few questions to have ambiguous answers or the questions themselves to be confusing without additional info, they are, for the lost part, very well framed. My official mock score were in the 740-760 range whereas the EGMAT's mocks were around 710-720. Even though I couldn't replicate the exact performance in the actual attempt for reasons unknown at this point and scored 20 points lower than my previous official score, I would 100% recommend EGMAT's LMP program and my mentor Dhruv as well for any test takers looking to pursue EGMAT course.

Hi S2GmatPrep

Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 700 score!  

Achieving a 90-point increase, going from 610 (54th Percentile) to 700 (87th Percentile), is truly a remarkable accomplishment. 

Your meticulous completion of the entire course established a sturdy groundwork, which, in turn, enabled your outstanding improvement. This improvement is clear in the image below, which shows a steady improvement in your SC abilities and a gradual decline in the time you took to answer Hard SC questions.

The effort that you spent in mastering the process skills helped you perform exceptionally in the Scholaranium quizzes. This is also evident in the image below, which showcases your Scholaranium stats.

Unfortunately, despite the stats showing how commendable your journey was, you couldn't replicate the same on the Test Day due to various Test Day Factors

Finally, on behalf of e-GMAT, I extend my heartfelt wishes for your upcoming journey. May it be filled with success and fulfilment.

Regards,    
Dhruv
