Hey Everyone!
I recently took the GMAT test and scored a 730 (QA50, VA39). I had given my previous attempt a month ago, where I landed a 620 on the test. I improved my score by a whopping 110 points in one month. I would like to share my experience briefly about my GMAT journey.
I gave my first E-gmat Sigma X Mock and scored a 590. That's when I recognized the extent of enhancements required in my study approach, prompting me to enroll in the e-gmat course. Needless to say, the interface of the e-gmat dashboard is impeccable. The division of Quant and Verbal into various subtopics provides a student with the precise and accurate topic-wise breakdown of the syllabus, really helping to understand the weak and strong areas. The P.A.C.E feature helped me save a lot of time in my preparation.
I meticulously went through each module, ensuring completion of every practice quiz question and application question to enhance my skills. After each section, I took the Cementing quizzes, which really helped me gain confidence. I not only built my skills but also ensured that my understanding of the topics is crystal clear.
The next phase of my preparation involved multiple quizzes (Topic-wise Quiz, Mixed quiz, etc.) of varying lengths. The quiz structure was provided to me by my mentor, Abha. The quizzes contained medium to hard-level questions, and my aim was to achieve around 70-80% accuracy in them. Initially, I found the quizzes to be challenging, but towards the end of my preparation, I realized that these quizzes are helping me further in the preparation. Following several quizzes, I developed effective time management skills, achieving greater accuracy by discerning which questions to skip and which ones to attempt. I largely focused on accuracy in these quizzes as I was already done with the concept part.
Next came the Mock ramp-up phase when I started giving Sigma X mocks. In those mocks, I scored between 650-700. One notable aspect of the Sigma X mocks is their comprehensive analysis of errors by topic, coupled with a progression analysis. These mocks helped me identify specific areas where I was struggling and provided guidance on how to enhance my performance. The mock structure closely mirrored that of the actual GMAT exam.
When I first wrote the exam, I scored a 620 (VA27, QA48). To be honest, I was quite surprised because I was crystal clear in the concepts and had made sure to cover each and every aspect thoroughly. I decided not to give up and gave myself another month before going for the exam again. Finally, after one month of hard work, I booked the exam date and gave my best foot forward. Once I hit the submit button and saw the score, I was overwhelmed with joy and tears of happiness. After a dismal 620 in the previous attempt, I had scored a 730!
I’m really grateful to E-gmat for providing me with an excellent mentor. Abha helped me throughout the journey by constantly pushing me and motivating me to do better. I would request her for ad-hoc calls, and she would always be available for me. The combinations of the quizzes provided by her really helped me to get to my current score. Overall, the course is extensive and totally worth every penny. I would definitely recommend the same to test-takers.
Thank you!

Strengths:

Great customer support- I often received replies to emails and queries in under 12 hours. Akash especially helped me throughout the process.
Video lessons included everything you need to know
Very accurate, adaptive mocks, that are extremely similar to the actual exam.

Would make the product better:

One small feature I would change is that you can't fast forward the videos in the verbal section. I would've sped up my study greatly if I could've watched the videos at 1.5x or 2x speed.

I started my journey hovering around a 630 score. With the help of Akash, and diligent work on my part, following the video lessons structure for both verbal and quant, and later following a personalised mock study plan, I was able to chip away slowly at my deficiencies and reach my target score.

The video lessons were extremely clear and holistic. They included everything tested on the GMAT, not just in terms of the foundational concepts, but also in how to apply said concepts in ways tested in the GMAT.

The area I most struggled with was Sentence correction, but with a huge array of official, and non-official practice questions, I was able to work at specifically targeting my weaknesses.

When moving on to the test readiness stage, in my last few weeks, I was given a personalised study plan, and a combination of e-GMAT mocks and official ones. This last stage was essential for my learning.

I wholeheartedly recommend e-gmat to anyone aspiring to take the GMAT, regardless of what stage you are in your learning. With personalised help, and hard work from your part, e-GMAT will help you achieve your target score. They offer the best bang for your buck, and go above and beyond what is expected of them.

Strengths:

e-GMAT courses feature video lessons that engage students effectively. The lessons are designed to make complex concepts easier to understand and provide step-by-step explanations for solving problems. The entire product is a one-stop destination for all GMAT aspirants. It's very quick response rate is an amazing feature. The online product also has the possibility to set up custom quizzes wit any specific number of questions from a specific section of Verbal or Quant, a feature not available with other products and a highly useful feature.

My journey with e-GMAT was very fruitful. I got all the support I needed from the team along with the extra push I requested for towards the business end of the prep as they enrolled me for the Last Mile Program, which features mentorship of the highest level. The emphasis on maintaining your own error log was one of the key factors of e-GMAT. Having an error log really helps with identifying your errors in thought process and making sure you don't do that again. It's emphasis on the meaning based approach for SC and creating para summaries for RC was the highlight of the Verbal section.

Strengths:

Comprehensive plan for verbal and quant improvement.

I have found e-GMAT to be extremely helpful. I started using this platform after my 1st attempt and it has helped me a lot with my preparation especially with the verbal section. The scholarinum which is a specific feature of e-GMAT portal allows us to have a detailed analysis of our strengths and weakness, so that we can focus specially on our weak areas to improve them. I will strongly suggest people to use this platform and especially the facility provided to interact with the experts there who can do a detailed analysis of our progress and provide valuable feedback on how to proceed ahead with the preparation.

Strengths:

1.) AI-enabled Scholaranium question bank that helps to gauge ability and accuracy
2.) Vast question bank - especially Quant
3.) Perfect combination of self-paced study structure and mentorship (Dhruv was my mentor, and he is absolutely and totally a pillar of strength for aspirants and e-GMAT).
4.) Dhruv, and e-GMAT platform gave me thorough and correct feedback on where I went wrong, and how to improve in each aspect which helped me manage my time most productively by working harder on my weaker areas, and revising my stronger areas. This is a boon for anyone who also has other time-taking commitments such as work and/or studies.
5.) Balancing a hectic work life and high GMAT score aspiration, I had to take off days in between preparation due to work/other reasons, but the quizzes and revision and summary modules helped me get back on track. My mentor would also check-in with me and remind me to go over things at intervals of 2-3 days for 30 minutes or so, to keep the momentum going which helped me stay on track.

Would make the product better:

1.) I think Verbal modules could be a bit better, as well as the Verbal questions since I did not find them a very accurate representation of the actual GMAT questions half the time, especially RC passages.

e-GMAT was instrumental in helping me achieve my target score of 750+. I found their platform and their pedagogy intuitive to follow, easy to use, and suitable to my schedule and aspiration. The course content was comprehensive and covered each topic that is tested on the GMAT. I particularly found Quant very detailed, and went through each module to revise and apply concepts. While I had a good grasp of the concepts tested by GMAT makers prior to taking the e-GMAT course, I struggled a bit in time management which made me a little haphazard in answering the questions, leading to silly mistakes and rushed problem-solving.
e-GMAT helped me build upon my ability to hone my exam-taking strategy - which is crucial to getting to the 99th percentile. Approaches such as the Meaning-based approach in SC, Pre-thinking in CR, note-taking in RC and the 7-skills for Quant increased my accuracy and made my timing strategy very strong. The platform is very interactive, and combined with their advanced, adaptive quizzing platform Scholaranium helped me evaluate myself at every step of the way, which is again crucial for scoring well in GMAT.
I especially really liked the cementing quizzes, ability quizzes and conceptual quizzes which helped me simulate exam-like testing environments for Quant and Verbal sections. I also found the entire team very supportive, understanding of my schedule, and quick to respond. My mentor Dhruv Joshi was one of the most key players in my journey and I cannot thank him enough:) He would regularly check-in with me, respond to all my questions - his guidance and encouragement was invaluable. I had to take off days irregularly in between due to sudden professional commitments, and Dhruv really helped me here by checking in with me every 2-3 days and reminding me to go over my notes for even 30 minutes to keep the momentum going. A big challenge for me was accommodating GMAT prep along with my professional and other commitments and e-GMAT was invaluable in their support and guidance in helping me achieve my target score alongside.
I would 100% recommend GMAT test-takers to check out e-GMAT once before committing to test preparation. Further, I would also suggest that future GMAT test-takers go over the official guidelines about each of the sections very carefully and gain a thorough understanding of the structure of the exam. Going in with a thorough knowledge about what the exam asks for, along with a strong plan-of-action that takes into account one’s current ability and accommodates their schedule will lead to the best results. I would also ask potential test-takers to be patient with the process, not get dejected by small obstacles or failures, preserve and be consistent in your efforts and work with single-minded focus on your goals and you will surely do well.

It's perfect!

I think taking egmat subscription was the best decision I made when I decided to enroll. The course structure is amazing and my mentor Aakash, was kind, encouraging, strict at times and he ensured he got the best out of me. My advice to anyone who is enrolling would be - just blindly do what your mentor tells you and just follow the process. Results will definitely come, in time.

Also, I am a total fan of the Egmat mocks. They were completely accurate, especially for me, and prepared me to face anything and everything on the exam. The adaptive nature of the mock and the question relevance, very much mirrors the really test.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to give their best shot at GMAT.

Strengths:

The e-GMAT course offers a very structured and process oriented approach to the Verbal section,which generally troubles the non-native speakers the most. This is probably the most significant differentiator of the course. The course focuses immensely on the process of solving rather than merely solving the question correct. I believe this focus on correct process and structured approach to questions is a must for a great score .

I did not start my Gmat journey with e-GMAT. I started with two other Gmat prep courses, one after the other, which are also available on GMAT club. I did work as diligently as I did in the e-GMAT course, sticking to 'AI curated plan', taking live classes and following every step instructed by the experts.
I did not have a process to address different types of question that Gmat offers. I ended up just mugging up lots of grammar rules, skimming through passages, and following all sorts of shortcuts and gimmicks. With confused efforts the results were also confusing, Gmat mock scores ranging from 650 to 750 in 10+ mocks. The scores were very inconsistent. However, I went on with my First Gmat attempt and scored a 650(Q50,V27).

Disappointed with my official score and not knowing what to do next, I attended the e-Gmat free session and then I realised that I neither had a process nor a focus on key aspects such as author's intended meaning in SC, his line of reasoning in CR or the intention behind an RC passage. Thus, after the free session ,I joined the e-GMAT course.

As I completely followed the e-Gmat course, the most difficult part was not to learn the new process oriented approach but to get rid of the gimmicks and solving techniques that I had learned earlier. I followed the course plan sincerely and thus my accuracies improved in all the verbal sub-sections. As I put in diligent efforts, so I got into the Last Mile Program and I got a dedicated mentor.

I am very thankful to Rida mam for guiding me through the whole process, for attending to different weak areas one by one and most importantly for hearing out all my woes and cries with verbal for so long.

Since then ,my GMAT scores have only gone up. I recently scored a V42 on the official Gmat,which is yet to be officially reported. I doubt that this jump from V27 were possible without the constant help and mentorship from Rida mam. The Last Mile program is really one of its kind and really helped me focus on the key aspects. This includes understanding at a granular level what my strengths and weaknesses are and helping me to build the right strategy to work on them.

I now have a structured process to solve the verbal section, a process that focuses on understanding the author and realising the true intent of a passage rather than on merely solving. It is now that I realise the beauty of this test, and what skills it focuses on. This realisation took quite a long time as I wasted a lot of precious time on gimmicks and shortcuts suggested by other prep companies in my earlier phases of Gmat Prep.

- Pre-thinking for critical reasoning

- It is a very lengthy course, not sure how they can make this better though

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible experience with e-GMAT's GMAT exam coaching. Their expert guidance and resources have taken my GMAT journey to new heights. In September 2023, I achieved a remarkable score of 700, a significant leap from my initial 600 in December 2021. This achievement holds an even deeper meaning because I struggled with the GMAT for nearly three long years, and it took a considerable mental toll on me.

The most astounding progress was in the Verbal section, where I soared from a 27 to a remarkable 41, landing me in the 93rd percentile! This dramatic improvement wouldn't have been possible without e-GMAT's invaluable support. It was a ray of hope after years of struggling with Verbal.

E-GMAT's approach to critical reasoning is a true game-changer. I made an astonishing leap from the 38th percentile to the 95th percentile in this challenging section, and I owe it all to their pre-thinking methodology. This approach, which was initially a daunting task for me, turned out to be the key to my success.

Throughout my e-GMAT journey, I was impressed by their well-structured courses, comprehensive study material, and a plethora of practice questions. The detailed analytics and personalized study plans ensured I focused on my weak areas, which was instrumental in my success. The support from the e-GMAT team was always prompt and incredibly helpful.

I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT to anyone looking to excel on the GMAT, especially if you've faced challenges over an extended period. Whether you are aiming to achieve a high score or boost your performance in a specific section, e-GMAT's courses and strategies are the key to unlocking your potential. I'm currently utilizing their Last Mile Program to further boost my score and refine my skills, and I can already see the impact it's making. Thank you, e-GMAT and especially Abha Mohan, for helping me reach my GMAT goals after years of struggle. Your pre-thinking approach has truly made a difference in my life!

Strengths:

Topic covered, Structure, Online classes/Seminars

Would make the product better:

Make the content a bit more concise as it is a lot to cover to have efficient learning.

SC course - Awesome +++ really Awesome. I only started this course from last week of Aug and could only do the concepts and exercises once and regret not being able to do them second time. This is worth every penny esp. for non-natives. CR course - I could not complete this course (as I purchased this part towards the end mainly to review concepts). I did have some additional learning while doing this course esp. Pre-thinking part! Maths/ quants was also very well structured nut overall I prefer to work based on my weaknesses and strengths and I prefer to make my own schedule. Hence, for me this was not a good ad on service.

E-GMAT's Online 360 course was an absolute game-changer in my pursuit to boost my GMAT score from 720 to 750. The course content, covering both Verbal and Quantitative sections, is incredibly comprehensive, with a unique and effective "Pre-thinking" approach for Critical Reasoning and the "Variable Approach" for Data Sufficiency. The Scholaranium platform provided a wealth of practice questions and detailed performance analytics, allowing me to focus on my weaknesses. E-GMAT's excellent support system, Live Sessions, and user-friendly interface created a conducive learning environment. Most importantly, I achieved my 30-point score increase thanks to this course. While it might seem like an investment, the tangible results and invaluable support make it a worthwhile choice for any serious GMAT aspirant. E-GMAT Online 360 is, without a doubt, a top-notch GMAT preparation program.
