Strengths:

- Fundamentals of Verbal content is unmatched
- Data driven approach helps students have clarity during prep
- 1:1 mentorship and genuine investment in the performance of their students

Would make the product better:

Largely all bases are covered. Would love to see how features such as PACE continue to evolve

E-GMAT is a great platform, using data driven insights to help students find an edge. I had already written the GMAT before and had a fairly solid score of 720 (Q49, V38).

Since I come from an overrepresented background and am targeting top 10/15 B-Schools, I felt I needed to push my score up a notch. However, the catch with starting from a higher baseline leaves room for improvement only at the margins, and I was unclear on how to proceed.

This is where E-Gmat came in. Firstly, their platform is extremely user-friendly and analytics driven. This allows every student to assess their current level, highlight their areas of weakness, and build a study plan in sync with their goals and the amount of time they would be able to commit.

Their content around verbal, centred around a meaning-based approach and prethinking, really helped strengthen my fundamentals. Similarly, it helped refresh my quant skills and fine-tuned my methods in this regard. The quality of questions, especially those of a higher level, helped test the intricacies of each concept and ensured that any weaknesses were highlighted. By following their course, one can get an extremely process-driven approach towards their current level and path to improvement.

As an added bonus, I was part of their last mile push program which offered me the opportunity to work closely with a mentor. This includes steady correspondence over email and 1:1 sessions approximately every 10 days or so. My mentor Rashmi really helped, both in terms of diagnosing weak areas and building an action plan, as well as pushing my effort levels and ensuring accountability.

I ended up pushing my score to a 740 (Q49, V41) and E-Gmat played an important role in pushing me towards this improvement. I have used some of the other GMAT platforms out there, but would definitely recommend them to any individual looking to write the GMAT.

Dear Gautam2510,

Congratulations on scoring a 740! With this you are among the top 3% of the test takers. It has been great working with you on this journey toward success and thank you for the beautiful words.

As you have rightly said – the journey from good to great is challenging as the incremental improvements are more difficult to drive. But kudos to you on having made such a wonderful job of the same.

You approached the preparation with the right mind-set and utilized the analytics on the platform to identify and focus on these areas of improvement. See how this approach helped you internalize the meaning-based approach and improve to a 90th percentile across all the topics in SC:

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Gautam-Excellent-SC-Accuracy-Across-Blocks

I am really happy that the course helped you follow a process-driven approach to excellence. In CR, see how perfecting the pre-thinking approach helped you consistently hit a 70%+ accuracy for hard questions.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Gautam-Hard-Accuracy-in-CR

The great thing is that you took every question that you attempted as a learning opportunity and used this as a chance to identify and work on incremental improvements.

Gautam, I must say that this score is a testament to all the hard work, diligence and attention to detail that you displayed during your preparation. I am sure these qualities will come in handy as you now step into the application cycles to your dream b-schools. I wish you all the very best in this new phase of your life.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Strengths:

Reliability and accuracy - closest to the actual GMAT.

Would make the product better:

I will divide my e-GMATs review into 4 sections as below:

The Verbal Section
Sentence Correction: e-GMATs method of understanding the meaning of the sentence was very helpful for me. This method helped me to identify the error in the sentence within 30 to 40 seconds and then to mark the current answer within next 30 seconds by process of elimination.
Critical Reasoning: e-GMATs method of Pre-thinking the answer helps here for 90% of questions. For the rest of the questions such as Evaluate the method etc., they have a process known as Variance test which helps to identify the correct choice. Pre-thinking might not lead you to guess the correct answer every time, but it helps you to fix the structure of the passage perfectly in your mind and this fixing helps you to identify the correct answer quickly.
Reading Comprehension: e-GMATs method of immersive reading was a game changer here. Understanding the entire passage thoroughly before reading the questions helped me save a lot of time in the exam.
The Quant Section
Being already comfortable in quant, I used this section to refresh my concepts. Learning quants with such an approach was a major mistake as you can see from my quant score. I am planning to retake GMAT to score better in quants. So I will post a detailed review for this section post this attempt.

Quizzes:
After learning all the basics I started taking custom Quizzes. A custom quiz is where in you can design a quiz the way you want. So I generally designed my quizzes to replicate a subsection – Quant or Verbal. This approach helped me to improve on my timing and accuracy tremendously. Apart from custom quizzed I also took the cementing quiz (to cement the concepts I have learnt) and ability quiz (to test my ability on a particular topic). Ability quizzes are helpful in that they will show you a true picture of your ability in a particular section in terms of percentiles.

Mentorship:
I was struggling to clear the expected cutoffs for reading comprehension in the cementing stage. My major hurdle was timing, as I used to take a lot of time to read a passage. Dhru Joshi, my mentor, helped a lot here by providing me with various articles and with various links to different news websites. He also asked me to go through atleast 2 such articles daily and practice the e-GMATs method on these articles. This practice helped me to improve my speed not only in ready comprehension but also in overall verbal section as I finished my verbal section with 5 minutes to spare and scored a V44.

Hi aniket1

Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 740 score! 

Congratulations on this colossal achievement, with a 80-point increase, elevating your score from 660 (74th Percentile) to 740 (97th Percentile). A V44 (98th Percentile) is the cherry on the cake.

You laid a solid foundation for your Verbal improvement by going through each video file with utmost diligence and earnestness. Here is an image that testifies to the same.

You improved your SC ability by leaps and bounds whilst also reducing the amount of time taken to answer an SC question by mastering the Meaning-based approach. This image here displays the same:

Kudos to you on your impressive skill development in Critical Reasoning! Your dedication to internalizing the Pre-thinking approach paid off and led to your consistent enhancement of CR accuracy. Having said that, your improvement on RC was a notable one. You used the reading strategies that allowed you to read and comprehend the passages accurately. Your improvement in RC ability is visible in this image below:

I truly appreciate you for attributing a bot of your success to my mentorship. It was a pleasure to have been a little part of this wonderful journey of yours

Finally, on behalf of e-GMAT, I extend my well-wishes for the exciting journey that lies ahead of you. May you embark on this path with great success and fulfilment.

Strengths:

E-GMAT has tremendous amount of resources for every aspect of exam prep. I was at first astonished by the daunting amount of basic concept files that I have to finish before I dive into scholarium quizzes and mocks.
Before I got to know E-GMAT, I didn't have any thorough concept for how to approach every sections and questions.
However, following the entire curriculum for 2 month with patience, I finally made achievements at scholarium quizzes and started to interact with e-GMAT team from then.

Would make the product better:

Concept files, Scholarium quizzes, Cementing process, Sigma-X mocks and other possible materials are all necessary steps to ace GMAT.
Especially, Sigma-X mocks are very accurate indicator/predictor of your actual skills and scores.
And, if you want to improve your score in a short period of time(maybe to 1/3 than preparing for your own), you'd better follow the e-GMAT instructors' guidance as much as possible.

Before I met e-GMAT, my score was stuck in 660 until third attempt. I trusted my English skills, because I have usually achieved the highest scores at TOEIC/TOEFL reading comprehension.
After I started to study with e-GMAT curriculum, I finally realized that I totally misunderstood the GMAT exam and decided to revise my approach as e-GMAT curriculum says.
Also, there was a lot of support from e-GMAT professionals, from thorough plans to follow to timely response to all kind of inquiries.
Though it took longer period than the e-GMAT team suggested because I have a full-time job and have up to 2 hours a day to study, I eventually saw the achievements at mock tests.
Sigma X mocks : 680 -> 730 -> 720
Official mocks : 700 -> 760 -> 750 -> 720.
Though the scores are fluctuating because I could not maintain the rigor of study plan due to work, the e-GMAT team's support and feedback for every mocks I have taken gave me further insights for my faltering points and actions to be done in the near future.
So, even though I got 720 at my actual exam, I am pursuing for another exam with confidence.
For me, visualization for every passage and sentence is the key to all the skills that follow. This is the most important basic mindset when you address various questions.
Regardless of the difficulties of the questions, proper level of visualization and following pre-thinking will put you on the higher position than other test-takers.
e-GMAT will make this happen if you are with them, and the advertisements saying "600 to 750 in xx days.." are not lies. You too, can be the very person who made miracle.

Dear TechNerddy,

Congratulations on GMAT 720!! This is Rida, your mentor – I am so glad to have been a part of your journey.

I can see that you have really given it all during your preparation, once you figured out the way to GMAT success is through mastering the right processes. In SC, the time and effort you put into mastering the meaning-based approach really paid off. The image below shows that you were clearly able to maintain 90th percentile ability-

I am glad that you recoginzed the importance of concept files, Scholarium quizzes, the Cementing process, and SIGma-X mocks for GMAT success. It is especially gratifying to hear that our SIGma-X mocks accurately predicted your skills and scores, as we can see in the image below –

My Gmat Prep Journey with E-Gmat

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

Strengths:

1. Excellent Verbal course.
2. Difficult quant course ( Sharpens your quant ability to perfection)
3.SIGMA_X mocks are very close to actual GMAT exam

Would make the product better:

More Mock tests would be helpful ( Especially for people who are giving multiple attempts)

I purchased E-Gmat Online Course based on recommendation from my senior (who is currently at ISB) on Dec 22, 2022. As my aim was to get into Indian colleges, My target score was 700 and above.
As mentioned by experts at E-Gmat, It is very helpful to know your starting ability before even going for the learning. My first sigma-x mock yielded a 610. It gave me insights into the where my weak areas were and also gave me a good analysis of my Time Management.
I first went to tackle the Verbal section. I had extreme difficulty in tackling the SC and CR part. My RC was rather good at first. For SC, I went on with the course and tried to study all the grammar rules. But for the first 100 questions that I solved post the learning, I wasn’t doing great. I knew I was missing something from my analysis of SC questions. The Course always screamed at each and every point during the learnings that “ Please understand The meaning of the whole sentence first”. Then went back to the course and analysed (with the help of error log-cant stress the significance of this enough) that I finally was able to understand the root cause of my problem with tackling SC questions. I then focused on inculcating the meaning based approach and it immediately gave a boost to my ability. I was much more confident and was able to tackle questions with fairly high accuracy. It also reduced my overall time spent on SC questions as it made it easier for me to eliminate answer choices more easily.
My CR understanding was really bad at start. I almost dreaded and was happy when I came to know that GMAT throws the least Number of CR questions. But only after giving the mock test was I able to understand its significance. After going through the course, it gave me an idea on how to tackle such questions
1. Always, I mean always keep the conclusion statement in your mind. If for some reason You insert your own analysis, its game over.
2. Pre-thinking of answer choices helps a lot in understanding the direction of thought of the author. Sometimes I was able to do such questions under 30secs just because of pre-thinking.(CR questions are on the higher side of average time taken to solve questions)
3. Process of elimination with eliminating each point by thouroughly understanding the point is another major ability you learn as you go through the course.
RC was fairly a strong point for me so the I just brushed through the course. The thing to keep in mind is give sufficient time to fully process the entire passage (4-5 mins for large passage is good) so that questions can be tackled fairly easily. (I for some reason couldn’t get my timing right in exam which affected my overall score.)
Quant has many topics which requires sufficient time for learning all of them. The PACE AI utilized by E-Gmat is a golden hand for your preparation as it provides a very good analysis of your ability in various sections of quant and skips those which you are very good at, therby saving a lot of precious Time.
The SIGMA-X mock tests are very good at estimating your true ability and its esr like analysis provides deep insights into your strengths and weaknesses.
I also want to sincerely Thank Mr Dhruv from E-Gmat for providing constant guidance during my prep. His analysis helped me in my score improvement from 620 to 700 in just two weeks!!
Overall E-Gmat provides a very good platform for improving your ability in GMAT Exam Prep with its systematic and well designed course.

Your Quant ability underwent a remarkable improvement through effective utilization of the data and analytics tool on the e-GMAT platform. You also leveraged the P.A.C.E AI tool to save a lot of your precious time by going through only those concepts that needed improvement This can be observed in the image below, which is just one of several examples of your progress in this area.

Strengths:

The biggest strength of this product is the way it has been structured. While the material is easy to consume and breaks down all topics you need to in great depth, it allows to students to also diagnose their strengths and weaknesses, and tailor their course in accordance.
I found the material to cover all concepts one would need to study to crack the exam, in great depth and detail.
While I had taken the course for a last-mile push, and went through it for a rather brief(couple weeks) period of time, I saw value in cementing areas that I was fairly confident about either way aswell.
Another huge benefit of the program for me was the support one gets from the strategy experts over at E-GMAT. Rida was an absolute gem when it came to guiding me through the process and ensuring I was ably equipped to handle all that the test had to throw at me.

I recommend E-Gmat to anybody who is struggling with the test. In case you're on the edge about making a decision regarding the test-prep firm you want to join forces with, I further recommend visiting the huge library of free e-gmat resources available on the internet, and figuring out if the fundamental approach followed here makes sense to you.
Personally, it is exactly what I needed, and I loved the way the course as well as the product has been designed. Apart from just the teaching aspect of things, which is cementing by the sheer number of outstanding results achieved by egmat, I would like to commend the team for the stellar product and peoples practices followed by everyone I have had the chance to interact with. I'd like to take another moment to thank Rida for being who she is, and being ever-present in my journey. Felt nice having someone feel so deep in my corner all through.
All in all, e-gmat is a great place to be through!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience on the platform. As your mentor, it brings me immense joy to know that you found our course to be structured in a way that is easy to understand and consume.

None of this would have been possible without your dedication and diligence. The best example of this is in SC. You knew that this was your weakest area, but after working on it diligently, you were able to improve from the 50th to 96th percentile –

90 point improvement - V28 to V39

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Improvement 90 Points

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Location Online

Strengths:

This course is very structured and assumes that the student has no prior knowledge of the concepts, which helps a lot, especially in verbal where as a non native speaker, I was not familiar with many concepts of the English Language.

Apart from that, this course does not go into technical terms, which is really good as the terms are hard to remember. For eg- The SC course refers to gerunds as verb-ing nouns, simplifying it for non native speakers.

Finally, the prompt support responses and the personal attention give to student make all the difference.

Would make the product better:

1. Faster playback option in the concept files - much needed if I am already familiar with a concept/revising a concept.
2. Revamp IR section - As IR would be a big part of the GMAT focus addition, it needs a revamp of the IR course.

Overall a great course which helped me improve my score by 90 points! The course is very well structured, explains everything in detail and builds step by step on every ability - by starting on easier level questions and moving on to tougher ones. Their strategies like maintaining an error log, had immense impact on my preparation. Initially, I did not follow these, but when I started following these strategies, it helped my verbal score a lot.

Coming to the verbal section, It has everything you could ask for. The meaning based approach in SC, the pre-thinking approach in CR and RC help a lot in solving those hard level questions, which take a lot of time and effort, in a structured manner. The small quizzes in the end of every concept helped me to cement the skills I learnt. After completing a subsection, there is a cementing process which helps in cementing the ability which I gained in the course by practicing on GMAT like questions. The level of questions in these quizzes was similar to those in the real GMAT. Helped in a lot to improve in my weaker areas, especially SC.

About the quant section, as my starting score was Q50, I was familiar with most of the concepts and the study plan recommended me to move straight to the cementing stage. The level of the questions in quant is little bit higher than the actual GMAT, which kept me grounded and not overconfident of my skills. Any concept which I was weak in I could practice and master through the concept files.

Last but not the least, the amount of personal attention and support the team provided me is the most important reason for my score improvement. I purchased the course in January and was not serious, not even completing the verbal course fully till mid April. I mailed the team about my situation and from that day onwards, they have kept no stone unturned in helping me better myself. From daily study plans to detailed mock analysis, they helped in every way possible. Special thanks to Akash from the E-GMAT team who helped me till the last night of my preparation!

Will recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their score, especially in verbal.

Dear Aakarshit arora,

Congratulations on your score of 730 with a remarkable Q50 and a V39! A 90-point improvement overall and an 11-point improvement in Verbal is a phenomenal achievement and everyone here at e-GMAT is so happy to have been a part of your journey.

Scoring a V39 in Verbal is not an easy feat to achieve. It is possible only when you embrace the processes and let them become second nature to you. You used the Scholaranium analytics to understand your weaker areas in SC and then you used the customization feature to do target practice on those weaker areas. The image below shows your improvement in SC hard questions from 53% to 87% accuracy.

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Aakarshit-arora-SC-Improvement-Statistics

It was because of your commitment that you improved from V28-V39 in Verbal. You maintained your consistency throughout, understood your weaknesses, and worked relentlessly on them. The image below shows your phenomenal stats in Verbal hard-level questions across all three subsections –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Aakarshit-arora-Verbal-Scholaranium-Statistics

You were always willing to put in the effort to understand where you were going wrong, and you improved your time management abilities with each mock. The below image showcases how accurately the SIGma-X mocks predicted your current ability in Quant which was validated by your Q50 in the GMAT exam –

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Aakarshit-arora-Quant-Mock-Scores

We appreciate your feedback, and our team is working relentlessly to improve on them. e-GMAT is in the process of developing the course for the new GMAT focus edition and will be soon launching the revamped course.

It was a pleasure mentoring you and I am glad I was a part of your GMAT journey. 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!

Amazing content, course structure, analytics and mentoring

Strengths:

Great course structure: Designed in a way to not overwhelm the student but at the same time that each concept is covered in detail
Amazing Analytics: Analytics help you understand the progress and identify improvement areas
Mentorship: Great team and mentors who are truly invested in students success.

My GMAT journey has been a long one with multiple break either due to family commitments, job responsibilities or my own procrastination. But along this journey one thing which was has been constant was E-Gmat’s consistence support and guidance.

Strength of EGMAT can be analysed in the following three segments:

1. Content/Course structure: e-GMAT has very comprehensive and detailed course structure. You can be sure that you are covering every possible concept tested on Gmat.

Course starts with basics and ends up covering even the most difficult concepts tested. Each module is thorough with ample examples to solidify the understanding. Course is divided into small modules containing concept files, application files and practice quizzes. Concept files cover the theory in detail, application files teach how to approach the questions involving those concepts and finally practice quizzes help you to test your understanding and gather feedback.

Grammatical concepts are as important as the process to solve the question. SC/CR/RC each has its individual process to approach and solve the question which is explained beautifully in the course. How to read strategically, utilizing the sentence structure to get the most meaning out of the sentence. Pre-thinking is definitely a game changer for RC and CR.

2. Process and Analytics: Egmat puts a lot of emphasis on following the process. My accuracy and timing both improved dramatically once I started following the process. Initially the process takes time which often disheartens us and we want to skip the process. But with time, once the process is ingrained then you notice the true power of it. The accuracy and timing both improves, which in-turn boosts your confidence.

Scholaranium (the practice platform) helps you practice questions based upon your weakness and provides insights on improvement area. Having such granular level of insights helps you keep moving and improving. The solutions are also in great detail which helps you understand the mistakes and analyse what you missed and what needs to be improved.


3. Mentorship: I believe this is the best feature of egmat. Mentors are tenured and take immense interest in your success. They keep you motivated and accountable. My mentor worked with me for more than 6 months, helping me improve bit by bit. She helped me create a plan towards success, analysing my performance and progress. She gave invaluable feedbacks at appropriate times and showed great faith in my potential at times when even I was not very sure about my progress.

In short, I would suggest to blindly just follow the egmat plan and path created by the team. I realized this later which did cost me plenty of time. GMAT is not about solving tons of questions but strategically learning from each question and applying the learning in subsequent questions. Honing the skill, following the process and working towards accuracy and efficiency.

I improved my score from 640 to 690 to 720 to 760 and this would not have been possible without egmats support and guidance.

Dear AYUSH198,

Congratulations on the massive 120-point improvement to 760! What a score and what a journey! It has been a pleasure working through the Last Mile Push program with you toward this target.

This mail from you after the test, spoke volumes about your joy:

Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/Ayush-Joy-of-Scoring-760

The mail made my day, and I was so happy that you finally got the score that you deserved😊

I am really glad that you found the course architecture helpful and made complete use of the concept files and application files to build a rock-solid foundation. You then mastered the processes to build a 95th percentile ability across verbal. This image shows the time spent on the Pre-thinking files helped you improve to a 92% accuracy in CR, while reducing the overall time to 1min 48 sec:

It is commendable that despite taking longer to apply the processes at the start; you continued to apply them consistently, so that it become second nature to you. This helped reduce the time taken over time and improve accuracy.

I am happy that the analytics on the platform helped you identify your areas of weakness which in turn helped you improve and build up a solid ability. See how this data-driven strategic approach helped you improve and maintain your RC ability at 90 + percentile:

In quant too, this structured and strategic approach helped you get to Q50 in a predictable manner.

The journey to success is rarely linear but what is needed to succeed is to stay persistent and face the obstacles and not give up on one's dreams. And this is what you did – you knew you had the potential to score big and did not give up in the face personal or professional challenges or not-so-good GMAT scores.

Yes, there were hurdles and breaks – but you just came out stronger and the 760 is a testament to your hard work, determination and a never-say-die attitude. I am sure the score will give you a great fighting chance to get into your dream B-schools and wish you all the best for the upcoming applications and interviews.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

My journey from 560 to 700 with e-GMAT

Strengths:

Master comprehension section is truly a game-changer!

Would make the product better:

If the verbal section of the course could be adaptive, that would be even better.

When I began my GMAT journey, I took the GMAT official practice mock test and scored 560 (Q46, V22), slightly less than the global average score of test-takers. I immediately knew that the Verbal section (SC & RC) is my Achilles' heel and needs significant improvement to reach the target score of 660 to be eligible for an MBA course at my target university, The University of Warwick. After spending two months learning from the GMAT Official Guidebook and GMATClub practice forum, I took another mock test once more and was surprised to improve by only 20 points to 580! At this point, I knew my learning method was not right and needed to up my game as I only had slightly more than one month left before my GMAT exam.

It was from GMATClub as well that I found e-GMAT and other courses. In the end, I decided to choose e-GMAT because of the great reviews on its verbal section. Moreover, a friend of mine, now studying for an MBA in a top UK business school, recommends I try e-GMAT. So I think nothing will go wrong and I needed to decide quickly.

I am glad that e-GMAT taught me not only practice questions but also a great understanding of the verbal section from its Master Comprehension. Before this, I did a wrong approach to verbal questions because I never really focused on the meaning of the passage itself, but rather answered by mere instinct. Another plus point was it also improved my daily writing skill to have better clarity and structure! Unfortunately, I cannot say much about the Quantitative section because I skipped the tutorial videos and dive into practice quizzes directly. But, I think Payal and her team did a great job as the section is adaptive, an improvement I'd love to see in the Verbal section as well.

For the mock tests, I can say the Verbal section is at the same level as the official GMAT, while the Quant section seems to be more complex than the official one. Nonetheless, it is a really good practice after all and boosted my confidence significantly before the real test, in which I scored 700 (Q49, V36, IR 5, AWA 5), a 140 points improvement from my initial score!

Overall, I highly recommend the e-GMAT to the GMAT aspirants and some tips for you to ace your test :
1. Start really, really, and really early on your GMAT preparation. At least 6 months of preparation should be ideal.
2. Begin by taking a mock test and understand where your weakness is. Be specific and honest about it, it helps!
3. Pick a course with abundant great reviews, especially a course that guides you through the process of understanding the learning materials.
4. Don't jump between sections before finishing one.
5. It's a good idea to listen to your body and take a break if you start feeling overwhelmed during practice. Enjoy the whole process - it is a marathon and not a sprint.

We also take pride in the fact that our course helped you improve your daily writing skills, enhancing your clarity and structure. Writing proficiency is a valuable asset, and we are glad that our program had a positive impact on this aspect as well.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the adaptive nature of the verbal section. While our Quantitative section is adaptive, we understand your desire for a similar feature in the Verbal section. We constantly strive to improve our courses based on student feedback, and your suggestion will be taken into serious consideration as we continue to enhance our offerings.

Your tips for success are invaluable, and we completely agree with your advice. Starting early, understanding your weaknesses, and choosing a course that provides a comprehensive learning experience are all crucial steps to ace the GMAT.

Strengths:

This course is great to help build upon your foundation within Quant and Verbal (especially SC). Each video is interactive and data-based so that you stay focused on the right materials. Each question has a thorough explanation and video attached as well as mentors who will respond to follow-up questions from students in case you are still stuck.

Would make the product better:

I would recommend that the GMAT mentors give more specific feedback on how to pivot your strategy when you reach a plateau. Additionally, I wish there were more practice tests than what was provided.

eGMAT was fundamental in helping me build a strong foundation in both Quant and Verbal. I did a Manhattan Online course right before eGMAT and found that it was lacking data-backed algorithms to help tailor where I needed to spend my time. Each video provided thorough explanations of the concept and there were a plethora of quizzes that ensured you understood the concept before moving on. You could also flag which concepts to return back to in the future. The eGMAT mentor that is assigned to you was also helpful in providing general advice and motivation to get you to your end goal.

No Brainer for Verbal

E-GMAT was and still is one of the highest rated courses one can find on the web and that is how I got introduced to it. For me, verbal was the weakest point, and I was looking for guidance in the same. I was very intrigued by the last mile push program which was advertised to me in the start of my preparation.

The master comprehension course was a ray of hope for me, as it became my ground zero. Instead of worrying about what to do and what not to do, I had a starting point, which in just a few hours of preparation made me confident about myself and built up my skills.

I used the platform for 2 months, and saw a score jump of 90 points. I went from V29 to V38, and it was all thanks to E-GMAT. I did not use the platform much for quants as I was comfortable in it, but the PACE AI found out specific topics I was weak at and gave me a chance to work on them.

Cementing was a fun exercise, as it quantified my prep, I knew if I was going on the right track or not. Overall, the number of specifically selected questions helped me save time.

The highlight of my preparation was the mentorship and Last Mile Push program. I tried to diligently follow the E-GMAT process and trusted the process. I saw immediate results and I contacted the support to get to know about my mentor.

My mentor Akash walked with me on the journey from start till finish, he guided me what questions I should do, where should I do them from, and what should I do based on the results of it. It was really helpful.

Concluding, I would say this course is a no brainer for verbal, it will help you a lot, and you just have to trust the process and never look back!

Dear arnavagr,

Congratulations on the tremendous 90-point improvement to 730! What makes the success all the sweeter is the massive verbal improvement from V29 to V38.

From the start, you displayed the zeal to excel. Be it the time spent on the platform to build the foundation or following a structured approach to master the applications and improve ability – you left no stone unturned.

The evidence of your hard work is clearly visible in RC, where you were able to improve and maintain a consistent 70% + accuracy for hard questions as shown in this image:

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Arnav-Hard-Accuracy-in-RC

I am really glad that Master Comprehension laid the foundation for the whole of verbal, and you were able to then learn concepts and then master application through cementing. See how this graded approach helped you excel across all sub-sections in verbal paving way to the V38:

Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Arnav-Excellent-Verbal-Stats-in-Scholaranium

It is commendable that knowing that you were starting out at a higher ability in quants, you leveraged the PACE feature to selectively identify and work on your weaker areas. This ensured that you could score a Q50 in a predictable fashion.

Arnav, it has been a pleasure working with you through the Last Mile Push program and I am happy that all your hard work paid off!

I, on behalf of the entire e-GMAT family wish you all the best for all your future endeavours.

Best Regards,
Akash Agarwal
