I was struggling to find right direction. Even after putting hours of work, I could not improve my score before joining e-GMAT. The process that is taught in the videos makes the results consistent and repeatable. Just knowing the theory isn't enough, if you are looking to score 700+. Additionally, Rida's mentorship in e-GMAT's LMP really helped me in getting into the mindset of the exam. Platform's exhaustive content and application modules prepared me to deal with exam stress, leading to a 730. On top of that, e-GMAT also has IR modules, which are really help you to be thorough with your preparation. Also, my RC performance improved by 30-40% just by having a 2-hr session with Harsha. e-GMAT provided me support throughout my journey for which I am very grateful. I hope that this review helps people make a more informed decision.

I scored a 720, which was a 240-point improvement from my first cold mock.

Here's the stuff eGMAT is doing very well:

1. Concepts are covered right from scratch, assuming the student doesn't know anything about anything. That's a good thing because I used to make a lot of conceptual mistakes in the quant section and an overview helped me iron those out.

2. The website is flawless. Everything is easy to find and access, subsections are divided in a logical manner, and I don't remember the portal malfunctioning even once in 6 months.

3. There are a lot of people involved in the doubt-clearing process. Every question on the portal has a solution, and there are thousands of questions. Doubts are cleared within 12-24 hours and are on-point most of the time.

4. The cementing process is much more important than it sounds if you're stuck in a subsection and can't seem to get better even after a lot of practice.

5. Verbal preparation is tremendous, especially when you actually follow what they say. The 'meaning-based approach' that eGMAT follows is by far the best way to handle CR questions with 90%+ accuracy.

6. The feedback process is fast and helpful. An analytics engine tracks every single question you've attempted on the portal and assesses your accuracy for you. When you want to find out where you went wrong, not only can you search for subsection errors (SC, CR, ALG), but also subtopic errors (modifier, assumption).

7. The Last Mile Push Program is a godsend for the last few weeks before the final day. If you get selected for it (or buy the thing), you get an expert who accurately analyses where you can improve and creates an action plan for you to follow. Every day.

8. There's a one-month extension option too, which is great for all of us who are bad at managing time :)

There's also some room for improvement.

1. Scholaranium questions could be more accurate, difficulty-wise. I've found that OG questions are a lot easier, especially on a high difficulty level, than the ones on Scholaranium, although this could be by design. I found that I was consistently scoring higher on OG questions than on Scholaranium for both sections.

Overall, I think eGMAT is definitely worth a shot.

I started the course in Dec 2021 & worked for 2 months, but as I was not able to focus I took a gap. Started back in June 2022.
I had covered most of the course in Dec-Jan period but from June I tried to work on weak areas. There are many reviews that cover a good part of the strengths of the course, I will keep it crisp

What's Good:
1. Best thing first Sigma-X mocks: they are bang on !! Especially Quant section is perfect. My last scores on Sigma-X were 710 & 690. The analytics is just brilliant !!
2. Quant Scholaranium: The hard questions are gems. A lot of effort is gone into them & it shows.
3. Verbal Application files: Applying basics to SC & CR is perfect for beginners. It kind of fixes the thought process.
4. The E-GMAT team is highly supportive in all ways.

What can be improved:
Only 1 thing I can point out: AI can be used more efficiently to help students.
The pattern in mistakes can be found by AI. (Just an Idea: The error log can be built using AI ?!. ) The pattern in mistakes, Tact time for question type/sub-type. A lot of scopes to use AI.

Also, a separate dashboard for repeating used questions can be useful to see how the performance changes.

I haven't used any other course so can't compare, but can vouch that it's good to take you to a 700+ score. Kudos team E-GMAT!

I started the course in June 2022 and had about two months left for my GMAT. I had to figure out a way to manage my preparation and to be consistent.
The way the course is structured is just superb. It help you understand the course to the most minute detail and the PACE feature also helps you time your prep. The analytics dashboard is a must have for any student and e-GMAT seems to have cracked the code. You will get a summary of your strengths and weaknesses from the dashboard along with tailored quizzes to help you level up.

I started my GMAT journey back in 2019 on my own. With the help of official Guide, GMAT club and Veritas mock test, I was able to score 710 on my first attempt. It gave me the confidence that I could score higher with a little extra effort. But after 2 more attempts in 2020 (720 and 710 again), I found myself unable to break the 720 barrier. My 2 biggest problems were: 1) Lack of speed in verbal 2) Consistency in Quant.That's when I decided I needed professional help and I enrolled with e-gmat. E-gmat monitors their student performances with such depth that within the first few weeks,Payal (Co-founder) reached out to assign a mentor (Rashmi) to me. Even though quant was not my weak area, Rashmi advised me to go over the entire Quant course once. While I had my apprehensions, thankfully I trusted the process. As expected, I consistently started scoring 51/51 in all my subsequent mocks/ practice tests.However, the real game changers for me were the test readiness practice tests and customised practice test. It helped me get over the timing issue in verbal. My verbal score shot up and I was much more confident this time.A comprehensive analysis of every practice test helped me identify and iron out a lot of my weaknesses very easily. With a 730, I only wish I had taken up e-gmat sooner. Would highly recommend.

I started my Gmat journey in August 2021 with a score of 720 (Q50 V38) . Quant was decently strong for me to begin with. However, SC and RC were a real struggle.

Fast forward to June 2022 I enrolled in eGmat course mainly for Verbal. The meaning based approach for SC and the overall modular structure of Verbal was really impressive. Also, the Scholarium dashboard provides deep insights into the areas that can be improved, the "low hanging fruits". Scholarium helped me gauge my weighted accuracy (Easy,Medium,Hard) at 70%. The PreThinking approach in CR was essential to identify patterns and to improve accuracy and ability to solve Hard 700+ level questions.

The SigmaX mocks are very close to official mocks and give a detailed review of sub-sectional performances, including optimal timing indicator. I scored a v39 in first mock and a v43 in the second mock. On my actual test day I scored a v40 , in the range indicated by sigma x mocks.

egmat Verbal is very well balanced for anyone aspiring to crack the Gmat.

I am very happy with my result and I am thankful to e-GMAT for helping me achieve this result without spending too much time.
When I decided to study for GMAT, I considered different options such as self-study using books and GMAT Club resources, taking different online courses and hiring a private tutor (this option was too expensive for me). There was overwhelmingly large quantity of resources available, and I had limited time for the preparation, as I work full-time. I heard about e-GMAT from a friend of my friend and decided to check it out. I used free trial and decided to purchase the course because of two reasons: 1) the course has structure which I knew would save me time by helping me focus on relevant areas and 2) I liked how the concepts were explained for each section and that each concept was followed by tests.
I started studying for GMAT in January 2022 and had to stop after two weeks because I was busy at work. I continued my preparation from May and studied for about 10 – 12 hours a week using e-GMAT for four months. e-GMAT helped me a lot with both quant and verbal.
For quant, I needed to remember math concepts that I learned at school and I needed to learn relevant terminology, as I had studied math in my native language at school. Watching e-GMAT’s concept videos was very helpful for me to refresh my knowledge and learn some techniques that school has failed to teach me. After concept videos, e-GMAT offers questions to solve, starting with easy and going to very hard. Video or written solutions are offered for each question. This structure helped me master the skills to solve complicated GMAT questions in time. One of the best skills I developed was solving data sufficiency questions without doing full calculations. e-GMAT also offers cementing process, which is very important for developing confidence in one’s abilities and cementing the skills.
As for verbal, I was good at reading comprehension from the start (I read non-fiction literature in English), however I struggled with critical reasoning and sentence correction initially (I got v31 on GMAT Club’s verbal mock before doing e-GMAT’s sentence correction module). I did those sections on e-GMAT and got v45 on exam as a result (I would have gotten higher mark if I had managed time better). e-GMAT teaches both concepts and the process to apply knowledge in such manner that after I completed the course I was able to easily solve most difficult questions.
I highly recommend e-GMAT course, it is very helpful even if you are starting GMAT preparation from scratch and it is quite inexpensive. I recommend that if you take the course, you follow their instructions and not skip concept videos or cementing part.
p.s. I have not indicated score improvement, as I had not taken mock exam before I began studying on e-GMAT

I started with my GMAT Journey in May of 2022. I started my preparation by purchasing the eGMAT subscription and for my entire prep I had only and only one source: eGMAT. I completed my GMAT journey in August and few data points of my GMAT prep journey are as follows:
1. Score Improvement
(a) First mock (590) used to create PSP to 700 (Q49, V36)
2. Verbal Prep
a) Completed MC, SC, CR, and RC to bridge certain gaps.( SC summarised notes prepared)
b). Solved 852 verbal questions during cementing and test readiness phases
c) Followed the cementing process and only moved to the next stage on meeting the requisite threshold (Medium level questions- 70% and Hard level questions- 55%)

3. Quant Prep
a) Utilized PACE engine to make Quant preparation efficient, learning only what I was required to learn.( Module wise summarised notes prepared)
b). Solved 900 questions in Quant in Cementing and Test Readiness phases

I started off my verbal prep with Sentence Correction and was not able to meet the threshold level in the cementing quizzes and therefore had to do the entire SC module again. After SC, I completed the CR and RC module and was able to complete the cementing stage with requisite thresholds. Finally I went on to Quant and in the eGMAT Quant every sub topic has a diagnostic test at the very beginning to guide students with different level of abilities- if I was strong in Geometry, the AI driven software would guide me in a way that I only had to study limited content. This helped me save time in my preparation and focus only on my weak areas and keep working towards improvement. After completing every QUANT sub module, I would undergo the process of cementing to ensure that I hit my target abilities in each subsection. Taking these quizzes would enable me to deal with GMAT like questions and strengthen my process abilities. Every eGMAT question provides the students with forum posts related to the doubts and issues faced by the other students. This would allow me to resolve my doubts and also strengthen my conceptual understanding. I could also post fresh doubts that would get resolved within 24 hours by the egmat team. The mentors for Verbal- including Harsha, Kanupriya, Stacey and Shraddha would provide excellent support on the forum. On the quant side also we had Bikramjit, Aditi and Shweta who would provide detailed solutions to each problem. These interactions with the subject matter experts were very helpful for me to increase my understanding of dynamics of GMAT test like problems.


Coming to the test readiness stage- I was assigned a mentor to guide me through my preparation – Abha Mohan The test readiness phase is one of the most important stages of preparation and having Abha’s guidance at every step of the way helped me structure my improvement plan and work on my weak areas after doing a detailed analysis of my Scholaranium account my mentor told me to revisit few modules in SC and Number properties and Word problems. Post my test readiness quizzes I was told to take mocks with a gap of 3 to 4 days between two successive mocks and Abha would help me put together an improvement plan after every mock so that I could work before my next mock. I scored a 660 on my first mock and was completely unhappy with my performance but Abha guided me and helped me with a improvement plan and also did a thorough video analysis of my mock. I scored a 700 and 710 in my next two mocks. However, I scored a 670 on my first official test. I became extremely sad because of the drop in my score but Abha guided me and helped me work on a small improvement plan and in the last 2 days of my preparation guided me with the final day test plan. Her support really helped me regain my confidence and I was able to ensure that I remain calm enough to make it to the exam day. To regain my confidence, Abha suggested that I take a few custom quizzes and I was able to regain some level of calm and composure upon seeing my scores in these custom quizzes. Finally, I scored a 700 in my second attempt with a Q49 and V36 split. I would highly recommend the e GMAT subscription to all those who are looking for a structured approach for their GMAT preparation

When I decided to take the GMAT, I knew that I needed to put significant effort in verbal, and needed to remove the rustiness in quant. With these requirements clear in my head, I knew that I needed a course which enabled base building, as well as allowed targeted preparation. This is where e-GMAT perfectly fit the bill. It's detailed breakdown of course structure enabled me to personalize my approach where required. Further, its teaching methodology of starting from absolute scratch and steadily increasing the difficulty level is exactly what was needed to build confidence and make sure that the concepts are absorbed properly. Lastly, it's tools and techniques such as pre-thinking, deep analysis of question stem and each answer choice, and the extensiveness of scholaranium (e-GMAT's question bank) were the core advantages of this course. All in all, e-GMAT gave me a study plan, solving my headache of creating a plan of my own, and all I had to do was to execute it diligently.

I am very much thankful to eGMAT for helping me improve from 590 to 710 (V22 to V36)

The three most important things that helped me succeed are the course content (approach), answers by experts in ‘ask an expert forum’, and assistance by the support team whenever requested for help. In particular, I would also like to thank Harsha, Stacey, and Kanupriya for their support throughout the process

Here, I would like to share a few important lessons I learnt from the course:

Master Comprehension: The Master Comprehension course is MUST do section before starting with SC, CR or RC. This section helped me to develop the skill of comprehending the sentence accurately, skill that is of utmost importance in acing all the three sections

Sentence correction: The MOST important approach I learnt from eGMAT course in this section is to understand the intended meaning rather than focusing on grammar rules. I strongly believe to master this section one must learn the skill of comprehending the sentence and identifying the aspects conveyed in the sentence before checking the grammar rules. This meaning based approach will help eliminate at-least 2-3 options immediately before struggling to identify the grammar errors in each sentence.
NOTE: The lessons learnt in SC will help in CR and RC. Hence, do not start with CR or RC before achieving decent performance in SC

Critical Reasoning: A few important lessons I learnt from eGMAT course in this section are
1. Understanding a) what is the evidence b) what is the conclusion c) MOST IMPORTANT - How did author come to the conclusion based on the evidence provided = Logic used in arriving at the conclusion using the evidence = Understanding the argument is THE most important step in CR
2. Do not be fixated only on what is the conclusion in the CR. You must remember that the CR argument is testing on our ability to understand the logic on how evidence is used to arrive at the conclusion. Pre-thinking technique helped me to significantly improve this skill
3. Understanding why an answer choice is correct and why it is incorrect is also very important in improving in CR. Focus must be on learning concept from each question but not on solving more questions
The course provides all necessary methods in improving and mastering these skills

Reading Comprehension: A few important lessons I learnt from eGMAT course in this section are
1. Always read the passage in identifying the ‘WHY’ aspect and not ‘WHAT’ aspect. Identifying the intent and purpose of each sentence helps in comprehending the passage better
2. Do not answer the questions by matching words, but must understand the logic of the sentence/para/passage. In understanding the passage, do remember to pay focus on key words such as because, due to, caused by, while, since plays a very important role
3. Keep in mind that Inference = What author believes and agrees with but not the ones that is just mentioned by some third person
There are much more nuances taught in the course that eventually helped me to improve my RC abilities and accuracy

eGMAT blogs: The blogs in eGMAT website are brilliantly written and are highly helpful in learning new concepts. I would highly recommend everyone to go through these blogs.

Course features:
The cementing quizzes, custom quizzes, and ability quizzes helped in identifying and improving on my weak areas efficiently. Overall, I strongly believe the course is very well designed to any GMAT aspirant irrespective of his/her current capabilities to achieve high scores. Course is designed in such a way that it makes one to learn the concepts and processes in a happy rather a stressful way.

Exam day: I never felt nervous on the exam day as I had complete faith on the approach I learnt from the course and was confident that I could handle any new question faced in the exam

Important suggestion: ONLY trust the meaning based approach and do not fall prey to ads that persuade you to follow any other approach
