Hello Everyone!!
I am happy to say that I gave the Gmat on 2nd December and scored a 740 Q 50 and V39. I would like to take this moment and tank everyone who helped me throughout this process especially Gmat Club and E-Gmat. On my diagnostic test I got a 670 and as I was new to the Gmat, I assumed that I could improve the score very easily.
However, my score appeared to had platued on the 710s. This is when I decided to take a E-gmat course. Prior to taking the course, I attended several sessions taken by Rajat and Payal on Gmat club and I had found that I was really able to relate to their process. Thus, I took the Gmat online 360 on Feb 20th of this year.
For quant, the course is very well complied and covers every topic and reinforces your learnings by taking multiple quizzes. For me, the courses on the inequalities, sets and statistics were very helpful. Once I was done with the chapters, I had a gigantic pool of questions in the scholaranium from which I could test my learnings and the error log was very vital for me to track the questions on which I faltered. This rigorous and extensive nature of the course ensured that I was more than well prepared to tack the quant section of the Gmat.
In my opinion, the course on verbal is the best. I was easily able to relate to and grasp the methodologies taught in the course and that is what I believe have helped me achieve such a score on the Gmat. The meaning-based approach taught me to always look for the meaning of a SC questions before going to options. Initially, even though I believed that would waste precious time on the Gmat, I could not have been more wrong. By regular practice of this method, I was able to get more Sc questions correct and also solved them in much less time. Their philosophy of Pre- thinking on the Critical reasoning section helped me with accuracy and timing. Not only was I able to easily able to solve questions but also, I was able to do them in much less time. However, the most important learning from the course for me was in the Reading Comprehension section. Previously, in my mocks, I was unable to complete the Verbal section on time. Thus, I had a fear that I was slow, however, it was my approach that needed improvement and E-gmat helped me with that. Their processes and the practice materials gave me a good enough idea of what to expect on the Gmat and more than well prepared me for the test day.
Even though, E-gmat has a wide variety of questions, excellent mocks and several ways to cement your learnings, I believe that the processes of E-gmat were what helped me immensely.Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the good people of E-gmat and I have no doubt when I say that E-gmat was the best investment I have done in my Gmat journey.
So I’ve enrolled in the e-GMAT Course after doing a lot of research on which course to opt for my GMAT prep. I’ve written an official mock 3 years ago and I knew my weakest area was verbal. After reading a lot of reviews I’ve decided to give e-GMAT a try. In my first Sigma X mock I scored a 640 with 46 in quant and 31 in verbal. So I’ve enrolled in the course and started focusing on verbal. Ended up scoring a 780 in my last Sigma X mock with 51 in Quant and 45 in Verbal. And scored 780 and 770 in both my official mocks, and 720 in the main GMAT.
There are three things that I absolutely loved about the course
Super Interactive
While preparing for GMAT I realized the issue I’m facing is not the understanding of the concepts but it’s the application of the concepts in the given amount of time. And the structure of the course was such that I could learn, apply and cement the process through their modules and quizzes, especially in the verbal section. The application of the concepts was very well covered in the interactive style of their course. In following that process I could increase my accuracy from 60% to a whopping 90% in all the sub sections.
The Dashboard and Error Log
They have an amazing and very EASY to use dashboard. It is so well defined that I could find my weakest areas in terms of accuracy, difficulty level and timing. I could focus on my weak areas and increase my score by more than 80 points without spending a lot of time in the prep.
I can only stress and stress on the importance of the error log. I’ve revised it at least 30 times before the test. And the error log that they’ve provided is very thorough and has helped me fill all the conceptual and application gaps.
My Coach Rashmi Vaidya (LMP - Last Mile Push Program)
She is the BEST. I was struggling to cross the 700 mark. Without her intervention I wouldn’t be able to score above 700. She would analyze my mocks, my tests, and every aspect of my profile and suggest the next steps. She has supported me through my downs and trusted in me more than how much I did. Rashmi has spotted intricate shortcomings in my profile and made me cement them really well. I really really thank her for her support and availability through the course.
All in all e-GMAT has helped me score a 720 in spite of me having a bad test day. I’m considering a retake because I know my ability is higher than 720 and that trust was built through the course and Rashmi.
First Sigma Mock: 640(Q46 and V31)
Last Sigma Mock: 780(Q51 and V45)
Official Mock 1: 770(Q51 and V47)
Official Mock 2: 780(Q50 and V46)
GMAT Attempt 1: 720(Q50 and V38)
Total Preparation Time: 4 months, approx. 3 hours a day
Planning to retake it in the next 15 days.
Dear layakeerthi,
Congratulations on your 80-point improvement to 720! This is your mentor, Rashmi here.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. You are the perfect example of how one can ace the GMAT through a consistent, diligent, and process-oriented approach.
It is commendable how you recognized that while you might be conceptually strong, you need to work on your application skills to be able to get to a top score on the GMAT.
You not only built a solid foundation by going through the application files but mastered the application by working on GMAT-level questions during cementing.
See how this process-led approach helped you get to 90%ile ability in verbal. This image shows how the time invested in learning applications in SC helped you improve to 90%ile in SC
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/90thpercentile-topic-level-accuracy
Mastering application is not a one-time linear approach. It is an iterative process of identifying weak areas and strengthening them. You did an exemplary job of this process by constantly reviewing your quizzes to identify areas of weakness. You then set about improving these areas with a single-minded focus. I am glad that the error logs and analytics on the platform helped you in this journey.
See how in RC, through this constant iterative process, you were able to improve not just your accuracy but also bring down the time:
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/RC-stats-predict-90thpercentile-ability
You followed the same diligent and structured approach in quant where you were able to get to the 83%ile ability level required to get to a Q50. See how the scholaranium data predicted you to get a Q50:
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Scholaranium-stats-predict-Q50
Once you reached a 700 level, with your persistent and strategic approach, you improved your ability to a 750 level. I know you couldn’t get to this score on the test day, but I am sure that with your grit and determination, you will get there on your reattempt.
I wish you all the best for the reattempt and all your future endeavours.

Verified GMAT Classic score:
730 Q49 V41 (Online)
I took the GMAT online exam on 3rd December, 2022 and scored a 730 ( Q49 V41 ). I took a mock before starting any prep and got a score of 650. I was apparently in the 650-700 plateau stage. So, I signed up for the e-GMAT course on 2nd July, 2022. I totally loved the course. Everything is extremely detailed. It start from the basics courses ( Quant Basics for Quant and Master Comprehension for Verbal ). Both of which helped me strengthen my foundation. The concept files are well made. You have practice files and application files. In the Scholaranium, you've plenty of questions, supplemented by Analytics that tell you how much time you took, what are you strong areas, weak areas, and even the difficulty progression. Even the forums, doubt resolution is really good. I was even assigned a Strategy Expert throughout. So, all in all, I would highly recommed this course to everyone. Thank you E-Gmat.
Hi Abhi160792,
Heartfelt Congratulations to you on your 730 score!
An 80-point improvement needs a humungous effort and plenty of self-belief. Both these attributes were the pillars of your success while improving from 650 to 730.
Good decisions during prep play a significant role in the GMAT journey.
You made the wise decision of laying a strong foundation initially. Using the data analytics throughout your prep to find the weaknesses and to fix those gaps was another smart decision. Here is an image of your outstanding Verbal stats from the last phase of your prep, which is certainly an outcome of many such right decisions that you took during your prep.

Abhi160792, the entire strategy team is glad to have been a part of your amazing journey.
We wish you the best for all your future endeavours.

Thanks to the entire e-gmat team, especially to Dhruv for guiding me throughout. Cheers!!!
Strengths:
Flexibility of studying and the variety of practice tools to solidify learnings
I wouldn't say online courses could help all students improve their scores significantly because that would be a false claim. In fact, my case is an example where I self-studied with books for 2 months (completely from scratch) and got 700 in my first attempt, and after learning extra with e-GMAT I still got 700 in my second attempt.
However, I would definitely stress on the difference between these 2 700 scores. In my very first attempt, I hastily rushed on the last 3-4 questions in both Verbal and Quantitative sessions, and I knew there were many random guesses throughout my Verbal one. Hence, I believe the first 700 was a complete luck.
After studying with e-GMAT, I saw their biggest strength is the structural guidance of thinking for each type of knowledge in the GMAT test. That helped me a lot on the second attempt and especially in the Verbal CR questions, where I didn't even need to rush and random guess in any question. Given the admission deadlines and current workload from my job, I am unfortunately not having enough time to re-take the test. I wish I had studied GMAT with e-GMAT earlier from last year, so that I would have had more time doing practices and more chance to score higher because I know I'm capable of.
Hi minhhoangvo,
Thank you for taking the time to pen down your review!
I am glad to see that you were able to use the course to change the way that you approach the test. While deadlines and work commitments might have prevented you from attempting a retake, the skills you have learnt would definitely help you in the future.
I commend the time and effort you have put into the course. This focussed effort allowed you to internalise methodologies that would get you to the right answer each and every time. In CR especially, this effort has paid off, where your accuracy increased from 27% to 67% in hard questions-
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/minhhoangvo-CR-Ability
Minhhoangvo, given your diligence and drive, I am sure that any cohort would be lucky to have you. Your ability to understand and appreciate growth in different contexts will truly add value to any B School.
All the very best!

I got to know about e-GMAT from a friend of mine when I had just started to research about GMAT prep. I hadn't looked at any material till then and luckily, didn't need to after as well. e-GMAT was a perfect match for me mainly because of how structured its course structure is.
I found the verbal section of the course the most helpful and I spent considerable time on it (about 2 months).
I started with Sentence Correction (SC) as it was a clear lacking point in the only Mock I had given prior to taking the course. (First SigmaX Mock - 540 Q40 V24). Evidently, I needed to improve drastically in both verbal and quant. The e-GMAT course helped in just that.
The depth to which the SC course was taught was incredible. The core skills such as identifying grammatical errors, understanding meaning, and answer choices analysis got firmly built due to the course. The Critical Reasoning section was equally thorough. I started solving OG questions after going through the entire verbal e-GMAT course and found all the questions pretty doable mainly becuase of the core skills and concepts learned in the course. One can safely assume to tackle even the toughest or the trickiest verbal questions accurately if one goes through the whole verbal course meticulously.
The Quant section helped with that extra nudge required during the last few weeks of my prep. I studied specific sub-topics from the course where I thought my speed was lacking and that helped a lot in the actual exam.
Overall e-GMAT was undoubtedly instrumental in helping me achieve a decent score of 720 (Q49 V38) on my first attempt. The thing that helped me the most was not getting distracted by multiple study sources/strategies. I stuck to one study schedule without distortion and gave it all while executing it.
Hi Apoorv1999,
Thank you for posting your review!
Congratulations on the 720 score! Your improvement of 180 points from 540 is phenomenal and a testament to the hard work and effort that you have put into your preparation!
I can see that you have really given it all during your preparation. 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-
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Apoorv1999-SC-90thPercentile
In CR as well, I can see that you took the time to go into the depths of the approach and then spent the time to master the same. This meticulous attention to detail enabled you to achieve a 14 point Verbal improvement from V24 (34th percentile) to V38 (84th percentile) with ease.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Apoorv1999-CR-Improvement
You used the Quant course to streamline your preparation. By using the modular nature of the course, you were able to focus on your weaknesses and convert them to strengths.
You really hit the nail on the head when you said what helped you get to success was a laser-sharp focus on just one source of study. By streamlining your prep in this way, you were able to put yourself on the best path to success.
All the very best in your next steps Apoorv1999!!

Verified GMAT Classic score:
710 Q50 V35 (Online)
I recently scored a 710 with Q50 and V35.
Like most aspirants, my GMAT test journey started with practicing random questions from GMAT Club and reading the Manhattan prep books. And like most aspirants I know, that strategy didn’t work. I was able to understand what was to be done in a particular problem but just didn’t know how.
I then came across the e-GMAT course. I attended a Masterclass webinar hosted by the founder and I was sold.
Now, coming to the product. Here’s what I found great about the course
> APPLICATION FILES: Every course offers you content, but the platform to actively apply the concepts in a guided manner is what differentiates the product. The outcome is as if you’re being taught in a live session but you have the convenience of doing things at your pace.
> STAGE WISE PREP: There’s a bifurcation of concept building and then subsequently practicing and harnessing your abilities in the concept you’ve studied. Cementing quizzes, which form a major part of improving your ability, is a very well-thought-out concept and gives direction to the prep. Otherwise, we can fall into the pattern of practicing questions side by side without categorizing or timing them. This will lengthen the time required to master the concepts.
> SCHOLARANIUM: More than the practice questions, the way your question attempt data is presented is quite helpful. This helps target minute weaknesses in specific topics or any behavioral improvements required while tackling a question.
> STRATEGIC SUPPORT: e-GMAT’s team is always reachable for any doubts in content and guidance during the preparation. Preparing for the exam can be stressful and there are times when you’re too involved in it that the obvious right path eludes you. Those are the times when the Strategy mentors are really helpful. For these reasons, my strategy mentor, Rida, was a godsend.
The score I’ve secured is not my target score. But I believe with e-GMAT, I have the arsenal to reach where I want to be.
GMAT is an exam that requires more conceptual understanding and strategic preparation than most exams. e-GMAT’s product is curated specifically keeping that in mind.
Hi pranavkhurana17,
Congratulations on the massive 80-point improvement to 710!
This is your mentor, Rida Shafeek- I am so glad to have been part of this journey with you!
What I remember most about your journey is the time and effort you put into perfecting process and methods- you truly left no stone unturned. Just looking at your course attempts, I can see that you put in time in the application files to perfect the methodologies and processes by leveraging the guided structure of the course-
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/pranavkhurana17-course-stats
Once you spent the time to understand the process, you worked on mastering application through the right kind of practice on Scholaranium, thus ensuring that you could replicate success quiz on quiz.
I am also glad to see that you were able to leverage Scholaranium to identify and tackle weaknesses. The power of analytics can be a game changer in the GMAT, and I am glad that you were able to harness the same and work on rooting out and eradicating weaknesses. Just a glance at your stats in RC shows how you were able to go from 73% accuracy to 91% accuracy on Science type passages, while also reducing the time you spend per question-
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/pranavkhurana17-RC-improvement
Lastly, I am so glad to see that you have maintained a never say die attitude – your words show that you have the right attitude to take the path beyond excellence. I am so excited to help you succeed in your next attempt!
All the best for all your future endeavours!

Rida
I enrolled for eGMAT after extensive research on all major prep providers.
eGMAT's Verbal supremacy clearly stood out in reviews and it was evident throughout my course as well.
Started off with a 670 in my first mock, and after 2 months of intense focus on verbal and quant I was able to improve this to 710-730 across mocks and eventually a 720 on the actual exam.
In-depth concept videos, a massive repository of questions and easily accessible support from experts really helped ease off the preparation stress.
Thanks especially to my strategy expert Abha Mohan who was extremely helpful during the Last Mile Program to ensure I bridge some key gaps in my preparation. Her detailed performance analysis, tailored preparation pointers and consistent mentorship in the final few weeks were some of the key factors that helped me with score improvement. She stayed invested in my progress throughout the LMP and leveraged platform analytics extensively to make sure my verbal foundation was strengthened.
Would highly recommend the course!
Hi sk1010,
Congratulations on the 730!
Abha this side from e-GMAT. As your mentor, working with you these past few months has been a wonderful experience- your attention to detail and focus on the approach have helped you ace the GMAT and get to the top 4th percentile.
You truly immersed yourself in the process and mastered the applications by completing the cementing stage for each of the sub-sections which in turn translated into exceptional accuracies in Scholaranium stats.
Here is an image reflecting how you consistently hit 90% accuracy in CR hard-level questions using the pre-thinking approach.

You are the perfect example of how one can ace the GMAT through a consistent, diligent, and process-oriented approach.
I wish you all the best for the next steps!

After deciding to give the GMAT Exam in April 2022 , I decided to study through the OG and the material available on the internet . Though I was able to solve Quant questions but Verbal was giving me nightmares specially the under confidence in SC questions. In June 2022 , I attended free webinars on SC, CR and RC sections organised by e-GMAT and was impressed by its approach to the verbal section.
Finally, with less than 30 days of my GMAT exam date , I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared to give my shot at the GMAT EXAM . But the reality shook me hard when I gave the mock on the EGMAT platform and scored a mere 620 with Q48 and V27 . I was disheartened , and immediately seeked support of EGMAT team . They were very considerate and assigned me a mentor , who came as a saviour to me . My mentor Abha Mohan , helped me charting a structured approach of targeting my exam . She gave me a schedule , task list to be completed wherein every task had to be completed in sequence , no hopping over ( which was the mistake I was doing earlier in my self prep ) .
The Egmat approach to verbal Section is top notch . The ‘meaning based approach’ tremendously helps you in attempting the toughest of questions.
. The CR section emphasises the ‘pre-thinking’ approach. The RC section teaches you ways to effectively read a GMAT passage, focussing on the bigger picture without getting bogged down into the details . The EGMAT approach of RC helps you to understand the passage very well and saves you time from jumping back and forth to look into the passage for every question( mind you this approach helps save a lot of time) . It takes time to master it but once you do , RC becomes a lot less time consuming .
Another important part of EGMAT course are the cementing quizzes. The structured approach of attempting the cementing quizzes gradually progresses you towards to your targeted ability. The Sigma - X mocks match the actual GMAT exam to a very good extent .
In the end, I would like to highlight the importance of sticking to the process. Believe in the process taught in the modules and no matter what do not change your process while under pressure during the test.
The process helped me in achieving a major 11 point jump in verbal in just 25 days and I obtained a 700 Score ( q48 v38) in actual GMAT exam. A major 80 point jump to my mock score.
This would not have been possible without support and motivation of my mentor Abha Mohan . She had been a constant support through my journey , very quick in responding to my queries and resolving them .
I would also like to thank Rajat and Payal for the awesome Platform they have created and also the entire EGMAT team who work tirelessly to provide quality GMAT Prep to students worldwide.
Hi rajanmech09,
Abha from e-GMAT this side.
Congratulations on your 700!
Your path to improvement from 620 to 700 in less than 25 days shows that with diligence, determination, and perseverance, nothing is impossible.
A 11-point improvement in Verbal from V27 (45th percentile) to V38 (84th percentile) is highly commendable. Your Verbal skills improved as you took the right steps to build your ability by learning the concepts and mastering processes across sub-sections by completing the cementing stage, here is an image showcasing your improvement from 51% to 78% (90th percentile) accuracy in SC questions using the meaning-based approach.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/SC-plot-predicting-90th-percentile-ability
I am glad that the RC strategies helped you understand the passages and save time which in turn helped improve your accuracy. Here is an image below reflecting how you aced the RC approach and improved to 90% (96th percentile) accuracy in RC Hard questions.

Your journey is a great example to justify, I quote, “When you trust the process, you learn. When you learn, you score well. When you score well, you succeed! “
I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, would like to wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.
All the best!

I decided to join eGMAT course when I scored only 640 (V25 Q50) in dec'21. Obviously, I cancelled my score. At this point, I understood that I needed to change my preparation strategy, mainly in the verbal section.
For Sentence Correction, the meaning-based approach is the real game changer. Even though I did not manage to get all SC correct under 90 seconds per question, I improved overall accuracy and planned to sacrifice few questions at the end of the verbal section (It is a risky strategy but somehow worked for me). My real intention was to get the first 20 questions right at any cost.
For Critical reasoning, approach for assumption, evaluation and boldface questions was very useful. My boldface question horror story ended immediately after starting CR module. (Pre-think was never my cup of tea and I relied solely on process of elimination)
For Reading comprehension, I watched two video links of recorded live classes by Harsha. He did not say anything new or fancy, but whenever I struggled in RC, I watched these two videos.
Finally, Thanks to Kanupriya who guided me during the course. She analyzed my weak areas and assigned tasks on daily basis to attack the low hanging fruits (I do not know why like this term, but I like it).
Being a non-native speaker, it was never an easy task for me to get a decent verbal score on the GMAT exam. With the strategical approach of eGMAT, I got a score of V36 (from V25).
Dear Papu8820,
Congratulations on the 730! A massive 11-point Verbal score improvement from V25 (37th percentile) to V36 (79th percentile) and a perfect Q51 are both truly amazing feats! Achieving V36 as a non-native speaker is just the cherry on top.
I can truly see that the different approaches across SC, CR and RC helped you achieve success. In the image below, we can see your perseverance to imbibe the meaning based approach and the RC strategies has really paid off!
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Papu8820-Verbal-Scholaranium
In SC – I can see that the time and energy you put into imbibing the meaning-based approach had a huge impact on your accuracy, as you went from 56% accuracy on hard questions to 80% accuracy –

Having mentored you through this improvement journey, I can say that you have shown grit and perseverance throughout and I am excited to see what challenges you take up next!

In 2021, I decided to work towards pursuing an MBA to accelerate and grow in my career. This is when I started to prepare and give the GMAT entrance exam.
After taking guidance and suggestions from a lot of people, I believed that I can self-study my way through this exam. I solved the original guides and questions from many other free resources. I was fairly able to cope up in all the sections except the Verbal section. Specifically, my sentence correction was very weak.
In my first two attempts, I got a 660 (Attempt1 - Q50/V30; Attempt2 - Q51/V28). After my first attempt, I was shocked since I scored above 700 in nearly all my mocks. I thought that maybe it was just a bad day and gave another attempt within a month. I was devastated to see similar result.
After taking a break to focus on some personal commitments, I gathered courage and decided to give one last push. I realized that I had to do something different to improve my Verbal score. After a lot of research, I came across the E-GMAT course. The reviews were fantastic.
I signed up for this course strictly to improve my Verbal. After going through the course I realized that all the shortcuts I learnt from free materials were absolutely inapplicable to the difficult questions. E-GMAT's unique meaning-based approach is actually what is essential to crack the Verbal section. I learnt the importance of understanding the meaning before evaluating the options and grammar part of sentence correction questions. I realized that there are no proven shortcuts for solving difficult sentence correction questions. Yes, it initially took me 3 to 4 minutes to solve each question but slowly with ample practice through the quizzes and scholaranium's question bank helped me improve speed as well as accuracy. I first focused to improve accuracy, and then focused to improve speed. After being comfortable with my speed and accuracy through practice questions and Sigma-X mocks , I was finally confident enough to take the actual test. I felt a lot more comfortable while solving the verbal questions and landed a 10 point increment (from V28 to V38). I comparatively fell slightly in Quants section, but nevertheless landed a 710 (Q49/V38/IR8/AWA5)!
To summarize, E-GMAT helped me realize and work on the following three aspects which helped me finally cross the 700 mark:
1) Comprehending trumps Grammar - Just applying grammar rules without understanding the meaning will not help you solve the 700 level questions correctly
2) Accuracy trumps speed - If you are not able to get questions correct initially, your score will drop even if you solve the questions at a fast pace.
3) Official mocks are outdated and easier - I am sorry to break this to you. Although official mocks are the closest in terms of exam environment and scoring algorithm, it is much easier than the actual exam you will take. This is because the mocks are old, and candidates on average have improved on solving difficult questions because of which the level of actual GMAT is higher than the official mocks. E-GMAT's Sigma mocks maybe slightly lengthy, but the difficulty level is pretty much what you will face in the actual exam.
Once again, thank you E-GMAT for devising this fantastic course and helping students like me to channelize our efforts in the right direction for achieving our dream score!
Hi cfcyash ,
Heartfelt Congratulations to you on your 710 score!
Despite 2 unsuccessful attempts, it takes great courage and will to give it one more shot. Your journey justifies the quote ‘Try, Try, till you succeed’
Your decision to build a strong foundation by learning concepts and application helped you improve your verbal abilities from V28 (49th percentile) to V38 (84th percentile). This image is a testament to how diligently you built your basics.

I am glad that the ‘Meaning-based approach helped you 1get better at solving SC questions. Your insight that it will initially take longer but eventually the ‘Meaning-based approach’ does become instinctive will guide many GMAT aspirants to follow a structured approach for SC. You improved exponentially in SC using this very approach. Here is an image showing your extraordinary SC accuracy (85th Percentile)
