Coming from an engineering background, I was always confident of my quant abilities. But even after reading several different books to prepare for the verbal section, I was not confident of my verbal abilities, especially my CR and RC abilities. 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, I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared to give one last shot at the test.

e-GMAT assigns you a dedicated mentor from day one who helps you throughout your GMAT journey, providing weekly study schedule as well as motivating you from time to time. The verbal section begins with Master Comprehension section which lays foundation of your verbal ability. The SC section is based upon ‘meaning based approach’ which tremendously helps you in solving 700 level questions when grammar rules fail in helping you distinguish between answer choices. 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. Since, in verbal section, it is more about eliminating four wrong answer choices than selecting the correct answer choice, ways to identify wrong answer choices are taught. Trust me, it is very crucial to learn to eliminate wrong answer choices when it comes to verbal section. As is the case with verbal section, the quant section also contains a foundational module and is divided into different modules. Each module contains lectures on different topics, covering different quant abilities tested on GMAT.

Apart from the Sigma-X Mocks, the course content that helped me the most was cementing quizzes. These quizzes help you apply the skills that you learn by watching videos on the platform and ‘cement’ the concepts in your brain, making the complete solution process a natural reflex, a kind of muscle memory. This reflex boosts your confidence and saves time while solving a question. The platform also provides analytics of your accuracy and time for different question types in the sub-sections of both verbal and quant. These pictorials help you pin-point your strengths and weaknesses. You can either analyse these analytics yourself or simply drop an email to your mentor who provides his insight into your statistics. e -GMAT also provides one-on-one sessions with SMEs to help you with your preparation. These sessions are generally meant to pin-point your faltering points and to help you bridge any conceptual gap or make behavioural changes to your approach. One such session helped me identify my weakness and improve my CR ability, increasing my mock score by 30 points and eventually boosting my verbal score on the test. In addition to one-on-one session, the e-GMAT forum can be used for any queries pertaining to the concept or the process used to arrive at the answer. My only pain point was the Word Problems module of Quant section. I believe that word problem questions were way too lengthy and complicated to be solved within 2 min and not up to GMAT standards. These questions do teach you a systematic approach to solving different questions, but the module can, at times, become a bit overwhelming.

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. I would like to thank my mentor Dhruv Sir and the complete e-GMAT team members for their support throughout my prep journey, and congratulate them on a job well done in developing the platform.

I gave a test on 30th August and got a 640 with a Q49 V27. With R2 deadlines looming, I had one final attempt at GMAT. Having used GMAT Club for the bulk of my preparation, I came across eGMAT in the club and read great reviews. Hesitant at first, I attended a free webinar on one of the verbal sections and I was convinced that eGMAT could be the solution just 10 minutes into the webinar.

Since I had many other commitments in my life, I needed a way to prepare for the GMAT that was already structured and did not require my effort to organize what to study and when to study. eGMAT provided exactly that with a comprehensive study planner.

Though my study efforts were a it overestimated, I was nevertheless able to approach my preparation methodically. I had exactly 40-45 days for my preparation and eGMAT platform was able to help me make the best out of that time.

I was already comfortable with quant, so having finished the Arithmetic module (rather quickly, thanks to the PACE engine), I did not delve much deeper into Algebra or Geometry.

Verbal was my weakness and I needed solid improvement in the same. Knowing that the density of SC questions was the highest of the three question types, I started with the SC course (after the master comprehension course). The meaning based approach was extremely useful as it helped me develop a framework with which, by the time I reached the cementing stage, I was able to already pre-guess the right answers (and wrong answers!) without even looking at the options.

The fact that a certain order is emphasized (SC --> CR --> RC) is not for nothing. There is learning in SC that can be taken to CR and there is learning in SC & CR that can be taken over to RC. In essence, given my time constraints, I could not focus much on RC; however, the way eGMAT inculcates reading (and interpreting) techniques in SC and CR was helpful enough in RC.

After getting decent scores in my Sigma-X mocks, I was ore dependent on my own skills rather than on luck by the time the D-Day arrived and I was happy to end up with a 710 (Q50 V35).

I would wholeheartedly recommend the platform to new GMAT takers and repeat GMAT takers alike.

My last piece of advice to people deliberating on the which test-prep company to use - GMAT is a game (the adaptive test engine is literally one). There are rules in the game that may or may not hold good in real life. The key is to understand these rules and take them for granted while you play the game. With my little experience, I can say that the eGMAT team is one of the pro players and learning from eGMAT's platform can surely help you achieve your high score.

I thank the team at e-GMAT for helping me achieve this score. I actually got to know about e-GMAT through this gmatclub forum so i really felt that i surely have to share my experience here so that it can help more people like me.

One of the main reasons I've choosen e-GMAT is because of the reviews that I've seen about its verbal course and from the point I started my prep i was very much lagging behind in verbal. My diagnostic test was (620 - Q48 and V28).
The coursework for verbal was pretty thorough and it really helped me build my basics from scratch. The methodology and approach towards the questions from different sections was unique and with practice i improved a lot.

The best part of the e-GMAT according to me was the scholaranium where I almost practiced 5-6 custom quizzes everyday and reviewed those quizzes after taking them. I felt they were a little difficult than the official gmat ones and thats what i liked about it as I already had a good quant knowledge it helped me solve difficult questions and make mistakes during my practice so that i can go ahead and learn from those mistakes.

One last thing that I specifically wanted to mention is that e-GMAT probably has the best User Interface and level of details that goes into analyzing your time and mistakes is amazing. It is very very underrated and not many people talk about this but unconsciously it does make your life easier.

Overall I highly rate the verbal course and scholaranium of e-GMAT and they provide good support throughout your prep with the help of some really experienced startegy experts.

I gave my first GMAT test in July and i got 490, the score disappointed me a lot. It made me doubt my preparation. To be honest I was overconfident and did not prepare well initially. I had bought egmat 5 months online course in April 2022 but i did not use it in correct way at all. I just used the course to practice questions more and more without actually understanding the process behind each type of questions which impacted me a lot during my GMAT.

After my first GMAT, I took time to clear my head regarding the doubts I had on myself. Once I cleared everything I extended my egmat course for one month and started preparing for min 2 hours everyday. Egmat verbal course was really helpful, it trained me in how to read a RC, how to think in CR and what all i look for in SC. I felt the verbal section of course has covered every inch of the topic and with lot of dedication and preparation this course really helped me to get a good score in verbal.

I havent used e-gmat quant course at all because I have always been very strong in quant. So i cannot comment on the quality of the quant section of the course. But what i can say is that the range of questions they have in Quant is very
extensive in terms of quality and quantity.

1 week before the exam I took 2 mocks from sigma-X mock tests. My mocks score were less. I got around 580-590 I panicked but I remember that during a egmat free SC seminar Mr. Rajat and Ms Payal has told that error analysis is very important. So I took my mocks and analysed every question that is when I realised that in all the verbal questions my thinking process was correct but either I was overthinking or I was misreading the option and choosing the wrong option. This error analysis made my realise that my basics are strong I just have to concentrate more on rejecting the wrong options. So, for the last week I concentrated on my option analysis and basics only and looked at my previous mocks and questions I answered.

On Oct 24,2022 i retook GMAT exam and I got 680. I am very grateful to each and everyoneof e-GMAT team who designed the verbal course.

I chose E-GMAT primarily due to it's proven ability to improve verbal ability as I had many read many other reviews. In my previous attempt my weakest section was SC, however the master-comprehension and process skill approach employed in E-GMAT really helps eliminate any uncertainty. I felt that the first step of always understanding the overall message and identifying key elements helped across all three sections of Verbal.

My RC strategy also changed after using E-GMAT were one thorough read of the passage was enough to answer all subsequent questions except in the case of questions with respect to specific details which at times required revisiting the passage. The focus on understanding each element of the passage plays a big role in critical reasoning. There are many traps in CR that will be missed if you rush through without understanding the overall message as a single word can make a huge difference.

I found the E-GMAT quant course to be adequate and found some of the problems utilized to be extremely long and cumbersome. Such questions in my opinion are rarely tested in the exam and it throws off your time management abilities. However, there is a lot of depth in the concepts that are taught but if the questions could resemble more of GMAT -style questions it would be much better.

Overall E-GMAT has a great verbal course and provides support throughout the preparation process with the help of the strategy experts.

I narrowed down on e-GMAT for my GMAT prep based on their fantastic reviews on GMAT club and having spoken to a few friends of mine who recommended it. I found the course very well structured. There is a well laid out path to get to a very good ability level in each section. I would say the course material (such as concept videos and quizzes) overall is very good, although it does take quite a bit of time to get through the whole course (that being said, there are ways to actually personalise the course material at various points based on your current abilities, which I thought was quite helpful).

The course feature that I was most impressed with is the Scholaranium. This is an extremely well designed platform which provides numerous questions within each section, along with amazing data analytics which, when used in the right way, can really help you improve your performance. The quality of the questions is really good. In my personal opinion, I felt that the difficulty level of many questions in the scholaranium is at par or sometimes even above the difficulty level on the actual exam. So I would suggest do not get disheartened if you don’t see yourself scoring very well on each test/quiz. Just trust the process and put in the effort consistently. The data analytics provided within the scholaranium platform is top notch! It goes into a great level of detail, so you can actually identify which specific area you are really faltering in and then work on that area. For me personally, these features really helped improve my abilities.

Overall, I am happy that I gave e-GMAT a shot and would happily suggest it to anyone who is starting their GMAT prep journey. The Verbal modules in particular are very good. Quant is also very good, although I used both e-GMAT and Target Test Prep (which has flexible one month plans) for my quant prep, so thanks to both of them! In the end, all I would say is that don’t just assume this course is a magic wand that will given you your target score (i.e. don’t assume just by completing the course material you can attain your target). A lot of it has to do with how diligent you are in tracking your progress, doing detailed (strategic) reviews of your errors and finding out where you went wrong, maintaining a detailed error log (I cannot stress the importance of this point just enough!), mastering time management and so on. The course will help you with almost all these aspects in one way or the other, but it is up to you how you make the best use of it.

Finally, thanks to the entire team behind e-GMAT (especially all the subject experts) for helping me get to my target score.

I am glad that I took the e-GMAT course for my preparation since the beginning.
1. Course structure:
The best thing that I personally liked about the course is the structure that is followed. It really helps in not only grasping the concepts but also retaining them. Verbal section was specially the game changer.

2. Course content:
The course has sound content and it covers it in an interconnected manner, enabling better understanding of the concepts as a whole.

3. Mentorship:
This has been the game changer for me after my first attempt. The team was very responsive and supportive till the day of exam. A special mention to my coach Rashmi who really helped me identify & rectify errors, specially in verbal section.

4. Scholaranium:
I think this is has been the heart of the course for me. With diverse range of question (from easy to difficult), there is enough volume of questions to lay your hand on. The best part is the analysis provided on a topic/quiz level, specially the so-called 'takt time' really helped in realising the speed as well as accuracy & necessary focus areas to improve upon.

My Gmat journey started in 2021 when I decided to pursue an MBA course. Started my prep work by myself the first time and worked hard for 6 months but could recieve a score of only 660. I decided to work on my gaps and gave the test again in 2 months but unfortunately, got the exact same sub-sectional scores in both Quant and Verbal and only a 10 point improvement.

The gap in my self preparation was a lack of structure. I used to focus on the weak areas, improve that and lose track of the components that I had already built ability in. Meanwhile, I focussed little if anything at all on Quant, focussing all my energy on Verbal.

Thats why when I was explained the structured approach of e-GMAT on a call with one of the representatives, I decided that is what I needed- A structured, logically formulated course in which I just need to practice diligence and do as Im told.

Thus, my 3rd attempt at the GMAT journey began in April and because of the previous effort I had put in improving my Verbal skills, the first 2 months of the course seemed quite a breeze in comparison to the Quant section.

Quant learning was made easy by the very systematic concept files and application files in each chapter of the section. The learnings were then reinforced in the practice files and skills files. The cementing quizes would then test my ability in each section and highlight the weak points giving various indicators of the existing gaps that needed work.

All of this effort was made super easy by my mentor Rida Shafeek who guided me through every step and gave me the confidence that I lacked in myself. I was also given special attention by Shweta - quant expert who took the efforts to teach my the importance of maintaining and analysing an error log and therefore the magic of strategic review. I felt considerably more confident in the quant section upon putting in all the effort.

In the end, during the final month of the prep, I signed up for the Last Mile Program where I was given more attention by Rida and was taken through every step of the way in my test readiness process. The 5 diagnostic tests were a roller coaster ride for me since I did not manage to score consistently well on all the tests. But I was given assurance repeatedly by Rida that all other indicators in my preparation led to mean that I had the ability to achieve the score I wanted.

The result, I came out of the exam hall with a considerable increase in my score - 660 - 670 to finally a 700.
