When I first heard about e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course, I was hesitant to enroll. I wasn't sure about taking an online course, and I was also a bit put off by the fact that there was no option to skip verbal videos. However, looking back now, I'm so glad that I took the leap and enrolled in the course. As it turned out, watching the verbal videos was incredibly helpful in building my foundation, and I'm convinced that it played a significant role in my score improvement.

While the course was video-based and didn't have any live instructors, the support that I received from the e-GMAT team was incredible. I had a few questions along the way, and I was always able to get in touch with someone who was knowledgeable and responsive. I want to give a special shoutout to Dhruv Joshi, who was particularly helpful in answering my questions and providing guidance throughout my preparation.

Prior to taking the e-GMAT course, I was quite disappointed with my first GMAT attempt, which resulted in a score of 640. However, thanks to the course's comprehensive content and effective teaching methods, I was able to improve my score by a whopping 60 points. My latest GMAT score is 700 (Q49, V36), which was a huge relief and has given me the confidence to pursue my MBA goals.

Overall, I would highly recommend e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score. While I was initially hesitant, I'm so glad that I decided to take the course. The support from the e-GMAT team was invaluable, and the course itself was instrumental in my score improvement.

Strengths:

1. Keeps the naturalness required to tackle GMAT intact
2. Sufficient depth and sectional focus for good score

Would make the product better:

Not much

I used the E-Gmat portal for just a month and ten days. Firstly, I am very confident that if I would have used for another month, I would easily have cracked above 760.
Verbal:
Sentence Correction: I only attended a webinar by Ms. Payal Tandon and if not more atleast sixty pc of job related to SC was done. She taught how to just go with the meaning. This put the intensive grammar at the back foot and allowed me to focus on real issue. I did do the portal's grammar lessons but meaning based approach was most important. Frankly, I didn't have any time to give a mock test. In the exam, I just attempted with the meaning.

CR: They give sufficient practice with the help of lessons.

RC: E-Gmat's lessons revolved around basic reading skills and this is what is required for RC. The lesson taught me how to pause and summarize at the right time. I was already an avid reader and I just needed this training to attempt objective content of GMAT.

Quant: Sufficient practise is required for quant even though one is an engineer. Here also I did not have enough time to attempt all the lessons. But managed to get 88percentile

Overall, the portal has excellent other techniques to improve score and that would have easily helped to cross 760.

Strengths:

Course material is a strength
Their Support team is very resourceful

Would make the product better:

The verbal section needs AI.
Support team can be proactive in asking if their students have difficulties
I didnt talk to the support team until i had severe difficulties.I would've probably done the prep faster if the support team were in constant touch with me since the very start instead of waiting for me to ask for help

The links that are sent to Us when we ask for help should be readily available in our dashboard
ie- for trouble in Verbal watch this video on visualisation by harsha
It will help a lot of students

I had a score improvement of 130 points.
I went from being super weak in verbal from v22 to v35
The main USP is the help/support
I suggest everyone to be in constant touch with the egmat support team.Talk to them atleast once a week and ask them for tips and vids to improve
ask them for help they are the best out there.
I was struggling with everything in verbal
I reached out to the support team in desperation they sent links to videos which helped me a lot.

All i want to say to people reading this is
Make sure you give yourself adequate time for prep
I thought i would complete my prep in 2 months but actually felt like i was never prepared
Finally even though i still felt like i needed more time
I just booked a date and gave the exam

You dont need to be perfect at the first try
Please dont think the way i did
I thought i will first perfect myself and then book the exam date.This led me to go in to a downward spiral where i was prepping day in and day out without any foreseeable date.
Just book the exam date and give it
You can iterate on it if you feel like you need better

Strengths:

Verbal Module and SigmaX Mocks

Would make the product better:

The quant module is too easy or not reflective of the true GMAT difficulty. This could be significantly revamped and improved.

Verbal Module and SigmaX Mocks are AMAZING! I really benefited from these two product features. I have improved my verbal score from V24 to V34 with eGMAT's thoughtful course content and exam strategy.

SigmaX mocks are very informative to simulate the CAT environment, more effective for exam sprint time prep.

The quant module is too easy or not reflective of the true GMAT difficulty. This could be significantly revamped and improved.

Overall, I really recommend this product! The regular pricing is a bit too expensive IMO. I got my package on sale during the summer, better value for money. I would recommend to get the package when it has promotion unless you don't care about the cost of the course.

Strengths:

1. The online platform built by e-GMAT which helps you assess you strengths and weaknesses with respect to sub-topics, difficulty level and timing.
2. The dedicated support through mentors (part of the Last Mile Program only) who chart out a prep plan allocating time to be spent on learning concepts and solving questions.

Would make the product better:

1. The Quant problem banks have some unnecessarily difficult questions. These are beyond what is tested by the GMAT.
2. The Last Mile Program and the terms and conditions should be described clearly during the first introduction call. They are brought into the picture only after the test taker has purchased and enrolled into the course.

I gave my final GMAT attempt on 4th March 2023 and scored a 740 (Q49, V42). This was my second attempt, less than three weeks after my initial attempt (690 - Q48, V37) on 13th Feb 2023. In between both attempts, I signed up for e-GMAT's $149 course.

I first came to know of e-GMAT through their Youtube channel when I was watching their Sentence Correction videos on the Meaning-based Approach. I liked their approach because it felt quite natural and relatable to how I had approached SC questions when I had attempted them without any preparation. Most importantly, it took the focus away from Grammar rules, at least partially, which I had dreaded from the time I was in middle school. After my first attempt, I felt that I needed professional help to identify and address my weaknesses in a pin-pointed manner but in a short amount of time. After my introductory call with Mansi from e-GMAT, I was convinced that they would be able to help me in the hyper-customized fashion that I was looking for.
Based on my ESR from the first attempt and a few diagnostic quizzes I took over a week during the evenings, the strategy expert from e-GMAT, Rida, helped me with a day-wise plan to address my weaknesses. Within 3-4 days, we were able to cover most of the topics and were ready to re-evaluate my test-readiness through a Sigma-X mock. While my overall performance on the mock was not as expected, it did give me confidence on some of the topics I had worked upon during the preceding week. Eventually, during my second attempt, just 12 days since my journey with e-GMAT started, I was able to apply the learnings from the concepts, practice questions and mock that e-GMAT provided to land on a score I was glad to accept.

The concepts that were instrumental to boost my confidence were around Sentence Correction - Comparisons and Modifiers. The deep-dives into topics like As vs Like were extremely helpful. I was also able to brush up my concepts of Geometry and Inequalities as it had been a while since I had put them to use. While I do feel that the phase-wise prep style at e-GMAT is extremely helpful as a comprehensive prep strategy, what worked for my time-sensitive use-case was the analytics-driven approach to identify my weaknesses across topics, difficulty level of questions and the time taken to solve questions.

I would definitely recommend e-GMAT to test-takers who are at a stage where I was when I approached them, i.e., if you are scoring 650+ and need the help of tools and a professional to pin-point your weaknesses and work on them to achieve a 700+ score. I’m sure e-GMAT has a lot more to offer to a lot more people, but in my limited interaction of 12 days, they were able to help me in a time-sensitive hyper-customized manner. The motivation that Rida, my strategy expert sent my way was the icing on the cake.

Strengths:

Nice concept building. Detailed course

Would make the product better:

Mentor guidance was an issue for me. My mentor was not assigned to me in the starting. Only when i sent them mails during my last leg of preparation i was given a mentor. She too only gave tasks and never had a call with me

With many online courses available it is very important to get enrolled in one which is inline with your thought process.
One of the best feature about Egmat is the video solutions for almost all the questions. They have a detailed course available with them. One can easily build a solid foundation with their course.
What lacked for me was the exam readiness preparation from their side. On comparing the ESR from my attempt to my Egmat dashboard, things did not match. I knew of my strengths and my weaknesses which was not the same on their dashboard but quite inline with my ESR.
This is why i would urge each student to take up the free trail given by different courses and see if they are actually inline with your thinking process.

Strengths:

- Well-structured course plan
- Decent price/value ratio
- Consultant - Rida Shafeek who was willing to schedule call with me very fast and gave a lot of quick tips and motivated me when I felt down and needed to improve rapidly in 20 days
- Very fast responses of instructors in discussions

Would make the product better:

- Length of some video courses. Sometimes the instructor went too much in detail (e.g. devoted a 17-minute video) with relatively easy and obvious topics

- Inaccurate calibration of easy, medium, hard questions. When I turned on some custom test and selected medium questions - it also gave me some easy and hard ones...

- In Verbal sections some correct answer choices were very poorly defended by instructors in discussion queries. However, this does not happen often.

Overall satisfied with this product.

Course Content: The e-GMAT offers comprehensive course content for Quant and Verbal. The Quant and Verbal courses are structured topic-wise, starting with a quiz that gauges one’s level of understanding of each sub-topic, and progressing with a detailed explanation of the topics followed by quizzes on the studied topic. One is able to thoroughly comprehend the sub-topics with such well-structured course content. The reading comprehension course content is what I can vouch for, as it helped me improve my accuracy as well as my timing to solve RC passages.
Cementing quizzes: The Cementing quizzes, available in easy, medium, and hard difficulty, help one practice questions for a specific topic or under a mixed category. As soon as I felt comfortable after going through the sub-topics from the course content, I was advised to practice cementing quizzes for the specific sub-topic. Only after gaining a certain level of accuracy in the Cementing quizzes was I advised to move ahead to the next sub-topic. This approach helped me gain a decent level of understanding for each and every sub-topic.
Scholaranium: This is a very special offering by E-GMAT. A tool to analyse all the metrics based on your performance in the Scholaranium quizzes. Scholaranium helps one to directly identify one’s weak areas and helps to gauge progress in each and every aspect.
Sigma-X mocks: After going through all the advised course content and practicing multiple cementing quizzes, I attempted the Sigma-X mocks. The Sigma-X mocks are well designed to closely resemble the official GMAT test. My Sigma-X mock scores were 600, 650, 690, and 700. The improvement in these mock tests was only possible because of the constant feedback you get from the mentors who guide you through your journey.
Support Provided: A sincere thanks to my mentor, Abha Mohan mam, who helped me plan and execute my journey.

Strengths:

1. The course is organized and follows a logical structure.
2. Good Customer Service
3. Provides a customized plan
4. Tracks Milestones
5. Analytics

Would make the product better:

1. Quality of Math Questions
2. Simpler solutions - specifically math
3. Reading Comp passages are much longer than official version

I am a repeat GMAT test taker. I had a good experience with e-gmat. I did not see any improvement in my score. However, I did see improvement in my overall skill. I scored a 710 on my first test and was hoping to improve to 740. Unfortunately, even though my verbal raw scores improved V35 vs V39. Because of a 1 point drop in quant Q50 to Q49. The algorithm calculated my score to be 710 on my last attempt.

I started to prepare for the GMAT in July 2022. I took a free MGMAT mock test to establish a baseline and scored 630. After a 2 week of studying Manhattan Prep SC and Quant I took an offical mock and scored 660.

For my first attempt I utilized Magoosh, Official Prep materials and LSAT RC to prepare for the exam. I studied ~10-12 hours/week between August - November 12, before taking the exam, and scored 710 (V35 and Q50). My overall score was exactly the same as the official mock test #6 (710).

The biggest weakness prior to e-gmat program was SC. Specifically, I was very slow at finding the correct answer for the SC question type. For my second attempt I utilized e-gmat and the OG advanced/guide 2022. My SC and CR improved by ~10-15 percentile points. The methods used by e-gmat are very effective.

I highly recommend utilizing e-gmat's mock and SC sections during the initial parts of your preparation. Once you have mastered all the concepts I recommend using the official guide quesions. You will find that due to nature of the e-gmat question bank you will find the official questions a lot easier to process. The OG questions are typiclly shorter and more concise and e-gmat definitely helps with time management.

I did use the E-gmat mentorship program as well. My mentor Abha was very responsive and provided me with a customized program. The program itself recommends using OG material as you get closer to the test. If any one has 3-4 months to prepare for the test and definitely recommend using the scholarium question bank to cement the concepts.

Overall, I was not as impressed with the quant modules. The questions are different from OG and real GMAT. However, the questions do allow you to master important concepts tested in the GMAT.

Finally, I took all 5 mock exams. The mocks are harder to complete than the official test as the question prompts can be a bit longer. However, the mock exams predictions and analytics are quite accurate and help identify one's strengths and weaknesses.

My final sigma mock was v39, Q49 - 720, and was the same as my official score. I never broke V40 on e-gmat and have yet to do so on the official GMAT as well!!

In conclusion, I rate the egmat program to be a valuable tool in GMAT preparation. The mentors can provide a lot of value to an individual who is not sure on how to structure their study plan.

Strengths:

It had a lot of content. It strengthened my strengths and helped me become confident before test day.

Would make the product better:

I think the concepts are well taught, but I hope there was a separate time improvement mode to help me apply the concepts.
I would also like them to keep test review access open even when the product time expires since I was unable to review the tests that I had already taken before test day since my GMAT exam was scheduled almost a month later from the time my product time expired.

I would totally recommend e-GMAT for any new test taker.
Quants and CR are my strengths and EGMAT really strengthened my Quant and CR with their well curated content.
SC is still a weakness of mine, but I believe I improved a lot through the e-GMAT course. My RC abilities totally depend on the content of the passage. If I totally understood what the passage was trying to communicate in my first reading, I get almost all my answers right but when I find it difficult to completely understand the passage in my first reading, I become aware that getting all answers right would be tough for me.
With the full practice tests, I became aware of all my strengths and weaknesses and on Test Day I was very confident of getting a good score.
