Strengths:

- Personalised strategy review- My mentor was Abha, and she was key for me to understand my areas of improvement, schedule my practice sessions and how I should prepare with a day to day plan and tracking progress.

- PACE Engine- This engine is exceptional to understanding your existing skill level and pace your curriculum accordingly. This feature in E- gmat helped me save many weeks off my preparation!

- Question Bank- Comprehensive question bank with AI powered analysis for custom tests.

Would make the product better:

- Approaches to solve questions in quantitative ability could be refined to short circuit the problem and solve the questions quickly.

I took 2 attempts on the GMAT Focus to reach to a 705 in my second attempt (with the first being a 655). It took me 3.5 months to reach my target score of 685+. In my first month, most of my time was dedicated to the course videos present in the e-gmat course and the rest of the 2 months were focussed on exam strategy and timing management. E-gmat's personalised mentorship was a gamechanger for me as I was given much important direction to build a solid strategy and identify areas of improvement comprehensively. My mock scores in official mocks ranged from 665 to 715, with most of the scores between 695-705. On the test day, I followed the sectional order of Q,DI,break, VR. I wasnt able to solve the first question on the QA and ended up spending 6 minutes initially on it. However, the rest of the questions were fairly easy, hence I was left with 12 minutes spare post completion of the section to return to the first question and edit it to the correct answer. The DI and VR section was fairly smooth. The E-gmat scholararium was key to facilitate necassary practice to master every GMAT topic!

Would make the product better:

I feel the DI section is relatively new and hence for many MSR questions I found the performance metrics to be flawed: as in, a too hard question is marked as easy and also the median time taken to answer those looks flawed. This is only for the MSR part.
For verbal, initially I used to feel that your questions are hard but having taken official mock tests and the exam I now feel that it isn't hard enough because I faced some pretty scary questions in the main test.
I think a VERY HARD rating for certain quant questions help us not worry a lot when we miss a relatively hard question. So egmat must mark few of the hardest questions as such.

In the age of Artificial Intelligence it feels really nice to be catered by Human Intelligence. Egmat does exactly that. In my previous attempts I had tried things my own way with a subscription of a particularly famous organization. But it lacked the interactive aspect that is a usp for egamt.
All concepts are explained in videos. Their algorithm is carefully designed to gauge your skills and adapt with that.
The PACE feature allows you to skip skills which you are already confident in. But it feels like the olden days as if a coach is there to guide you. I have, on occasions not liked some explanations and replied to them and they have promptly replied and a proper argument led to a rectification of the issue.
Too many organizations have claimed to not use any 'gimmicks' or quick tricks to ace the exam. I can attest personally that egmat, (sometimes a bit annoyingly) always avoids quick fixes. This forces you to adopt the conceptual clarity and as they like to call it 'own the dataset!'
Following the basic principles of learning and no quick tricks the curriculum induced in me a regular habit of the pre-thinking and falsification techniques. I was able to handle complicated CR questions i.e. rejecting the right options for the right reasons and narrowing down the best option.
One ability that always felt impossible for me was completing the first RC question within 3.5 minutes. But egmat's resources allowed me to handle the same with ease.
They have a strongly crafted set of resources for the DI section which I felt was an apt reflection of the official test.
It goes without saying that the quant section is as good as expected.
If their methodical approach of learning, cementing and test readiness is adopted there is no reason why one can't ace the gmat.

Strengths:

- Great availability of resources
- Great mentor support
- Effective methodology (especially filling knowledge gaps at first and then practicing)

Would make the product better:

- More time-efficient options (esp. for people without much time to prepare)
- More clarity on how to follow the Study Plan
- More tips on Quant on alternative ways to face problems (e.g. choice elimination)

Methodology
- Simply put, the methodology consists of learning content for each sub-module (e.g. CR), practicing this content to reinforce learnings (called “Cementing”), and then practicing all parts of each module together (e.g. Verbal)
-In my opinion, this works quite well, especially in cases like mine where I had no idea what was tested on the GMAT. With this, I could fill all “knowledge gaps” I had on each topic and reinforce the new learnings before moving on to the next one
-As a con, this approach followed to the letter may not be the most time-efficient, so those with less time available probably would need to adapt it. Also, I would’ve liked more focus on tips for facing the test (e.g., solve some Quant questions by choice analysis or other shortcuts, practice on timing and skipping, etc.)
-For Verbal questions, learning was based on "Pre-thinking", which is basically doing specific reasoning (depending on the type of question) before reading and selecting choices. In my experience, these strategies were valuable in the first stage of learning, although in my particular case I had to adapt them quite a bit for the real exam: as in my case I have some difficulties with English, I needed more time to read and understand the texts, and if I developed the complete pre-thinking then I spent too much time per question; as I could not improve this much, I developed a "simplified" pre-thinking in which my focus was on understanding the logical thread of the arguments. Basically, I would recommend doing these pre-thinkings at the beginning to reinforce learning, but then practicing to find the optimal distribution of time between reading the text, pre-thinking and reading/analysis of alternatives
-The platform also teaches some reading strategies that can be helpful in Verbal, especially in RC. In my case, it was difficult to apply them all and always, but I think that having some in mind helps improve reading speed and comprehension (practice them is key)

Resources
- In my opinion, the strongest point of e-GMAT. You can find both the material to learn and a good set of questions to practice, as well as 5 mocks (I took 4/5, and I consider that they were of pretty good quality). In addition, together with the e-GMAT subscription you are entitled to a few months of GMAT Club quizzes, which I found to be an excellent complement
- As a con, I think sometimes questions are more “complex” than in the real exam (e.g., in Quant, some Hard questions are too long, while in the real exam I found hard questions to be “trickier” rather than longer). For this reason, in my case it was useful to complement the study with the GMAT Focus Edition Official Guide (you can find OG questions in GMAT Club too).

Support
- With your e-GMAT subscription you are assigned a mentor, and in my case, my mentor was of great help for my improvement since she helped me define concrete actions based on my results. I would recommend being proactive in seeking help from your mentor, given that I found the base resources (like the study plan) quite generic
- I would also like to mention that I was part of The Last Mile Program, which consists of having a more personalized plan and greater follow-up by your mentor. I consider both points to have been very important towards the end of my study since, as I mentioned before, my mentor was developing specific action plans based on how I was doing, and the continuous follow-up also forced me to be more consistent in my study

I hope this review is useful. Good luck in learning and preparing!!­

Strengths:

- Verbal and DI sections.
- Scholaranium.
- Step by step process with a clear structure.
- Personalized support.

Would make the product better:

The only area that could be improved is that some Quant questions differ slightly from the actual test, as they have longer statements, but this does not detract from the content's adequacy in preparing for the test.

I highly recommend e-GMAT as a test preparation course. I particularly emphasize the Verbal section, which was incredibly helpful in achieving a high score, especially considering that English is not my native language. The Quant and DI sections are also excellent, and the way the material is taught is ideal for learning step by step, following a very clear structure. Additionally, the Scholaranium is very useful for practicing and tracking your learning progress and results.

Moreover, I greatly appreciate the personalized attention from the e-GMAT team, who are always available to resolve doubts and monitor the study process. It was truly positive to have that personalized support. In this regard, the Last Mile Push was extremely helpful in wrapping up the preparation and focusing on the final details that needed to be corrected to face the test successfully. During this stage, Rida provided exceptional support, being very attentive to the doubts and concerns that arose.

Strengths:

The approach is well focused

The content is trustworthy and helps a student from scratch. The topic based development is appreciable. One can expect good and genuine support for the team. The team works hard for the students so that they can reach the goal. The question bank matches/surpasses the standards of GMAT Focus test. The cementing quizzes give a good flavour of actual test. The videos are engaging and discusses every option at length. Further there are complimentary test access to GMAT Club. In a way it is pocket friendly and surpasses the standards of certain leading Indian coaching centers. However please note that GMAT as a test demands some basic skills in quant and verbal without which no coaching can help you. GMAT also tests how fast you can implement your skills. It also demands lot of practice and dedication. e-GMAT team ensures that you are practicing hard.

Strengths:

The strengths of the product includes:
1) The adaptive nature of the course in quant ( Saves a lot of time )
2) From all the different mocks I have given, I felt the one which E-Gmat provides gives the best estimate of the score you might get at the actual exam.
3) The course structure is well made with many questions so that one remembers what he/she has learned.
4) The mentoring service which the LMP program provides gives structure to your preparation so that you know exactly where to focus.

I liked the product overall so I don't have any pointers on where to improve as such, once you go through it you will understand 😁

Hi, My name is Abin Selby and I recently scored a score of 675 on the focus edition (Q84,V84,DI82) with the help of E-Gmat LMP program. Do I would like to post my experience here so as to help other students who are in similar position as me.

I had started this course on 9th March 2024 and through the LMP program I was assigned my mentor Rashmi Ma'am without whom I wouldn't have been able to get the score I got. Now like most Indians my quant was strong (though didn't get what I expected in the test :/) my verbal was weak, and to add to that, with my busy schedule at work I was away from studies for a long time. So after my first mock with E-Gmat (I scored 615) I connected with Rashmi Ma'am wherein she guided me through my report and highlighted places to improve on. She then made me a personalized plan to follow so as to increase my score. Now for 2 months in between I wasn't able to study due to work and even with that she believed that I could get a good score with a month in hand. That's what propelled me to focus even more on Gmat and here we are with a score of 675😁 (96th Percentile) a 60 POINT IMPROVEMENT.
Now that might not seem like a lot for some people but I am happy with it and this wouldn't have been possible for me without E-Gmat.
I hope this helps atleast a few people 😁😁

Peace ✌️

I am thankful to e-gmat for providing exceptional support during my GMAT journey.
My GMAT journey started in May'2023 when I gave my first attempt. I had not signed up for any course and took the exam after 1-2 months of self study from Official guide and GMAT club. I received a score of 650 (much lower than my target score of 700+). After interaction with alumni from my target schools (IIM A,B, C and ISB) and considering my strong academics, I applied to my target schools with this score. Fortunately, I received calls from IIM B, C and ISB but couldn't convert any of them. Hence, I planned to re-write the exam. Since all my peers had improved their scores through e-gmat course, they advised me to join the course. I did not want to take any chances this time and so, I joined e-gmat's focused study course in Mar'24.
Before beginning the course, I was required to take a diagnostic mock test in which I scored a 595 (V79, DI74, Q86). The journey from these scores to my final 665 was challenging, but e-GMAT's comprehensive approach made it possible. e-GMAT's PSP (Personalised study Plan) feature helped provide a clear picture of the time required to achieve my target score. I could also input my tentative study hours for each day in advance, which ensured that the plan was thorough.
Coming to the course, the course is so intricately designed and structured that it ensures interactive and immersive learning. Each course is followed by an assessment quiz, which are followed by application and practice files containing more practice questions. After completion of a course, cementing quizzes are to be passed without which the course is not considered complete.
E-GMAT's pre-thinking approach for Critical reasoning is a game changer and makes solving CR questions a cake walk.
The Quant course is also excellent. Being from engineering background, I had good quant skills already but lacked the process skills required to solve 21 questions within a time span of 45 minutes, that too with a high accuracy. The skills taught in the course along a large pool of practice questions helped me improve my Quant accuracy from 80% to 95%.
After completing the Verbal and Quant courses, The Data Interpretation questions seemed pretty easy to understand and solve. Furthermore, the course approach of teaching through case study application and practice files really helped. My DI score improved from 74 to 81.
Last but not the least, The Last Mile Push (LMP) program played a key role in my success. The thorough study plan devised in the program helped improve my accuracy on Hard questions.
E-GMAT team's continual support, strategic guidance, mock analysis and feedback throughout the program is commendable.
I highly recommend e-GMAT course to everyone aspiring to achieve a decent GMAT score.

Strengths:

- Versitality of question bank
- Concept explanations

I had a great experience with e-GMAT during my GMAT preparation. The course materials were comprehensive and well-structured, which made it easier to grasp even the most challenging concepts. I was facing a lot of issues with verbal, so I opted for a full access course from E-GMAT and used their verbal tutorials to largely work on RC (it was very helpful for me).
The platform’s adaptive learning approach helped me focus on my weaker areas, and the practice questions closely mirrored the actual GMAT exam. Thanks to e-GMAT, I was able to significantly improve my understanding and ultimately scored a 675. I highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone serious about achieving a competitive GMAT score.

Strengths:

1. Quant
2. DI
3. Scholararium, intensive practice, AI-generated insights to identify weak points & work on them

Would make the product better:

The verbal recorded classes, to be more in-person recorded to understand verbal better.

While solving the incorrect questions, if done correctly the next time have only residual incorrect questions to practice.

I am thrilled to share that I improved my GMAT Focus Edition score by an incredible 110 points in just 2 months, all thanks to e-GMAT. My journey started with a score of 565 on my first mock, and by exam day, I had achieved a 675, placing me in the 96th percentile.

The platform’s comprehensive approach, particularly the Scholararium, was instrumental in my progress. It provided in-depth insights across different sections, allowing me to focus on my weaknesses and steadily improve.

Abha's personalized feedback and the study plan she crafted for me in the final stretch were game-changers. Her test-taking tips and tricks were invaluable, and her encouragement kept me motivated throughout the journey.

The mock tests from e-GMAT were definitely tougher than the actual GMAT, but this only served to make me more prepared for the real exam. When it came to the Data Insights (DI) section, e-GMAT stood out as the best resource compared to other test prep options. My percentile in DI skyrocketed from 36% to 96% in just two months, thanks to the rigorous practice and targeted strategies I learned from their platform.

Overall, I highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone serious about achieving a significant score improvement. Their structured approach, combined with top-notch resources and expert guidance, made all the difference for me.
