Strengths:

1. Focused Approach
2. Questions similar to Actual GMAT
3. Interactive modules
4.Supportive experts

According to my experience, e-GMAT provides the best content to reach the desired score. The preparation flow is very focused and prepares for every type of question. When I decided to attempt the GMAT, I did a lot of research to find the best course, watched reviews on YouTube, read different opinions of people on GMAT Club, and so on. Acting on the collected data, I decided to go ahead with e-GMAT. The day I purchased the course, I gave my first mock test. It was a Sigma Mock by e-GMAT, and I scored 515. This was well below my expectations.
Based on the mock test, the study planner on e-GMAT prepared a study plan for me. My weakest topic was Critical Reasoning, which was dragging down my score in the Verbal section. After completing the Master Comprehension module, which was itself like a crash course of what we studied in school, I came across the Critical Reasoning module. The way it is structured is wonderful. Instead of videos, there are interactive modules, which are very helpful in understanding the approach. I found the Pre-Thinking concept especially helpful. The expert faculty of e-GMAT conduct lectures, too. There are concept files that teach you the topic, followed by practice modules, and my favorite, the GMAT Skills module. The questions in these modules are very similar to those on the GMAT. Further, The Scholaranium contains all the types of questions required according to difficulty levels. I created custom quizzes, too, to practice different types of questions.
I am strong in Quant, and hence it was not a problem for me in terms of concepts, but I struggled with silly mistakes. I improved my performance, but I still was not able to get all correct. For the Data Insights section, I found that the questions were very similar to the actual exam, making you less prone to surprises. With all the solid preparation and support from e-GMAT sessions and modules, after around two months, I gave my GMAT and scored a 625 (Q82, V82, DI 79). I was not satisfied with the score, as I wanted to score at least 645, which is equivalent to 700 on the GMAT Classic, and would put me in the competitive score category.
So, I decided to appear for the GMAT again. This time, I was offered to join the LMP program of e-GMAT. Ms.Rida Shafeek was assigned as my mentor. She analyzed my score report and assured me that my target score was indeed possible. She even said that I could score much higher than 645 and set my target score at 695. She prepared my study plan, keeping my weaknesses in focus. As I progressed, I could see that my performance was getting better. I gave the official mock and scored 695. I was very happy with that performance. After completing the study plan, I gave the final mock and scored 715. This reassured me that I was ready for the test.
Now comes the test day. I entered the testing room with a little nervousness, yet very confident. I chose the order as Quant-Verbal-Data Insights. I attempted the Quant section and was quite satisfied with my performance, and the same with Verbal. But then came the Data Insights section. Everything went fine up to the 12th question. There was an MSR set, and I could not understand it properly. I took so much time and still could not attempt the questions. I realized very late that I had wasted 15 minutes on that very set!
As soon as this realization set in, I tried to cover the remaining questions as fast as I could, but they were still taking time. I tried to go faster, but in the end, I had to just mark some questions and move on to avoid the penalty for missing questions.
I scored 645 (Q84, V84, DI78) in that attempt. Even though it was much lower than my expectations, I took a sigh of relief. If I had not wasted that much time on that one question, I could have scored higher. But I decided to go ahead with this score as I wanted to apply in the first round and could not give it another try.
I would strongly recommend the e-GMAT course to anyone who wants to appear for the GMAT examination. Also, I strongly suggest letting go of any question that takes too much time—it costed me 20-30 points.

Strengths:

This product is very comprehensive, with a logical learning approach that can consolidate the knowledge. On top of that, the cementing feature allowed me to get used to and comfortable with exam environment,

Would make the product better:

I think the product is very good, probably introducing an APP version as studying on the web browser on mobile can be a bit difficult sometimes. But these are very minor issues.

This platform has been extremely useful for me. I had taken my first test relied solely on self-studying, while I did achieve a 645 in the focus edition, I realised that I hit a wall in terms of my progression.

As a result, after some research I have found this platform, This platform helped me to fill a lot of knowledge gaps that I was unable to identify during self-study, which significantly consolidated my foundation and reduce a lot of silly mistakes during the test. On top of that, Rida, one of the GMAT strategist has been extremely helpful throughout my 1 month preparation, as she provided a comprehensive studying plan for me, and provided a lot of mental supports as the preparation process can be long and exhausting.

Overall I am very happy with my grades given the short amount of time I had, and I believed with the time anyone put on the platform, they will definitely get the return and see significant improvement.

Context:
My first GMAT mock score was 505, and I knew that I would need a program, that would give me the necessary skill sets to reach the mountain top.
I knew my weakness is the VERBAL section, and was looking for a course that would help me gradually build up key skillsets and was affordable.
I shortlisted a couple of courses and tested a couple of them on their trial versions. Once I experienced e-gmat’s course I immediately knew it was the one. The course was structured, had a good reputation and was affordable. I even attended a couple of webinars held by Rajat and Payal and was immediately impressed.

For those who want quick tips / best practices for GMAT prep, I have listed my top 3 below:
Make sure to classify your errors in your error log and also any additional comments (such as Why did I falter or Why did I take so long or Correction Steps) should be as descriptive as possible.
Don’t worry if a strategy does not work for you, instead research for other strategies that best fit you.
Our brain works best in its most calm state, knowing how to get to that state is very important. For me, taking a deep breath for 5 seconds really helped me.
Be perfect in a section before moving to the next during preparation.
For those looking for details into my Preparation Strategy and D-Day Experience I have provided them below:

Preparation Strategy:
I prepared for GMAT in the following sections order one by one: VERBAL / QUANT / DI
I followed e-gmat’s detailed study plan, completed the cementing quizzes and also worked on the OG Questions before moving on to the next section.
A couple of tips from e-GMAT which really resonated with me were:

For Verbal:
Pre-thinking possible answers for RC Questions.
Mastering Reading Comprehension, by pausing at various points, to try to assimilate what that sentence meant and what is its relation with the content mentioned previously.
For Quant:
Making inferences of statements mentioned in the question stem.
For DI:
Understanding / Owning the dataset by taking small examples and making 1-2 observations
Calculating various values such as means, variance etc. from graphs quickly.

Post my preparation, I worked on my accuracy in e-gmat's scholaranium, trying to reach the 90% accuracy in medium questions and hard questions as well. Every mistake I made was logged in the Error log (provided by e-gmat) in a descriptive manner to truly understand what my mistake was.

I gave 10 Full length Mocks with different combinations of sectional orders, to see how my progress was and take the required steps to make any correction to my process, or mannerisms when writing the test. I noticed I was consistently doing well in QUANT, however, there were many peaks and valleys in my VERBAL and DI scores.

I realized I was taking too long to answer Verbal Questions especially CR which gave me very little time to complete questions in the end with good accuracy. For verbal, I created a document on the types of traps GMAT commonly used and was actively looking for these traps in the options. Similarly for DI, I realized I was taking too much time in answering MSR questions. To manage my time, I referred to the "Timing Strategies page" on the GMAT Club forum, and followed the processes mentioned in it. These changes in my strategy made very large improvements in my score.

My final 2 mocks I managed to score 655 and I found that my best results came when I attempted in QUANT-DI-VERBAL order. I felt the reason for this was QUANT was my best section, and it gave me the necessary boost to attempt the remaining sections with confidence. I kept VERBAL for last just after the 10 minute break, so as to avoid mental fatigue and bad decision making.

D-Day Experience:

On the day of my exam, I attempted a few easy questions, before giving the actual exam so as to get my confidence high and hit the ground with an active state of mind.

During the exam, I felt confident and calm. As I expected, QUANT went well for me, and I managed to get only 3 wrong answers. However, DI section hit me like a train, I felt that I was getting lost in thoughts and started taking longer than normal, after 5 questions I knew if I kept going in this manner my performance would not be good. So, I took 5 seconds, to recuperate my focus by taking a deep breath and got back into the game.
With this a switch turned on and I started answering questions more quickly and faster. Finally, I managed to get 15/20 questions right.

I took my 10-minute break and prepared myself for the VERBAL section mentally and physically. When I got back, I quickly created a grid to help me not look back at options I had rejected on solid grounds. After every 5 questions I would quickly review how my progress was and make sure necessary corrections were made in the next 5 questions. I knew I was lacking time to complete 4 questions in 5 minutes, so I randomly put 4 answers to, and I made sure to answer 3 out of 4 of these questions properly, by changing their answer post submission. Finally, I got 17/23 questions right.

I was elated when I saw my provisional score and I knew that it was time to celebrate. I want to thank everyone from the e-gmat team for their immense support and prompt attention to all my queries.

Strengths:

The video lectures curated are quite good and explain concepts effectively. The question bank is also very diverse and overall comes quite close in difficulty to what I faced on the actual GMAT exam. I was also part of the LMP program where the mentor, Abha was super supportive and helpful in helping me overcome various roadblocks and plan a strategy ahead.

Would make the product better:

Add more number of questions in scholararium.

The course is overall good and quite comprehensive. While looking for a course, I needed something where I could flexibly study on my own as I have a tasking job which makes my general routine quite upset. But I also needed guidance along the way and e-gmat provided exactly that at a very economical rate as well. I faced a lot of roadblocks along my way but discussing it with my mentor always helped me improve my accuracy and strategize in a better way. The question bank provided was also quite close in difficulty to what I faced in the actual exam. The very first mock I took I got just a 515 there but on the final attempt I got 665. I would definitely recommend this course to others preparing for GMAT.

Strengths:

- Number and Variety of Questions available.
- And more importantly covering all the topics in detail.
- Quick and efficient clarification of doubts from the support team.
- Mentorship for identifying and strengthening your weak areas.

Would make the product better:

- Some of the word problems are challenging and lengthy, requiring a significant amount of time to solve. This seems to discourage the students.

When I first considered preparing for the GMAT, I was concerned about the significant time and effort it would require, especially while working. However, a friend recommended the E-GMAT course and gave me confidence that it was achievable.
After enrolling in their basic course on June 2024, I gave a mock test to gauge my current level, scoring 555. Since then, I didn’t need to use any other materials or question banks for preparation. The amount of material and questions provided was more than enough. After 2.5 months, I was able to complete all the concept modules (Stage 1) and achieve the threshold scores in their cementing quizzes (Stage 2). This gave me the confidence to move on to the test readiness quizzes (Stage 3).
In the Test Readiness stage, my scores began to decline, and I struggled to identify my weak areas. I reached out to the E-GMAT support team for assistance, and Dhruv guided me throughout the process, helping me strengthen my weak areas. He also helped me in choosing an Exam Date as per my performance. Then came the final stage: Mock tests. Initially, I scored well (665 and 695), but some personal matters distracted me, and I lost my momentum with the subsequent attempts. As the exam date approached, I found more time for practice and got back on track. My final mock attempt scored 695, which really boosted my confidence.
I would like to sincerely thank the E-GMAT team for providing such an excellent platform to learn with utmost ease.

Strengths:

- Value for money (of the most affordable programs out there)
- Last Mile Push (LMP) program which provides a personal mentor to create a full-fledged journey for your prep based on the Target Score, and solve any doubts regarding your score improvements, last minute strategy etc. My mentor, Rida helped me create a study plan, stick to it with regular check-ins, analyze mocks and understand how to tackle my weak-spots in Quant just days before the exam.
- Highly structured, step-by-step curriculum so that you don't feel lost at any stage
- Extensive scholaranium with a rich question bank
- Cementing Stage i.e. after the concept giving 5 tests (2 Medium, 3 Hard) really help to "cement" the specifics of the concept so that you do not forget it even if you come back to it after a month
- Quant section's Diagnostic Tests help you understand which topics you are quite adept at, before even starting it so that you can skip specific concepts, and just move straight to the Quizzes. Helped me save a lot of time!

Would make the product better:

- Course structure can benefit from more questions on the Hard side. Since when we get to the Practice Exams / Mocks etc, questions are harder than the ones experienced while practicing for the concept

E-GMAT proved to be a great resource for someone like me, who was giving the GMAT for the first time, and was looking for a step-by-step introduction to the exam itself.
Plus, if you are a person who is looking for some personal guidance, and accountability while studying and someone to course-correct you during the critical time in your prep, then opt for the E-GMAT Last Mile Push Program, to get the benefit of a GMAT expert mentor.
Give one of their mocks as a Diagnostic so that it can help you foresee your strong and weak areas before starting your preparation.

Strengths:

1. Detailed course work - the concepts, application and the entire flow of the course is very structured. Features like PACE, Scholaranium, Cementing quizzes are extremely helpful through the course.
2. Very much similar questions in DI and Verbal to the actual test.
3. Personalized mentor to guide and structure your preparation

Would make the product better:

1. A few more questions required in DI - but recently eGMAT team has added 50 sectionals which was not there in my preparation time.

eGMAT course is one of the most trusted resources in GMAT preparation. The coursework is extremely detailed and the process skills built in a step by step format is very helpful in slowly building up the ability in every topic tested.
Scholaranium which is a repository of practice questions is one of the best features where you can see a improvement in your abilities as well as practice and review the incorrect questions as many times as you like. Cementing quizzes after every module is a great tool to apply the process skills and get to the 70%+ accuracy lecels in medium and hard questions. Lastly, the LMP program with a dedicated mentor helps you take the last leap to the end where you get guidance on the exact weak areas to improve and get your desired score. All in all, I was very happy to reach a 96 percentile after spending almost over 6 months with eGMAT.

Strengths:

Verbal preparation for this course is excellent. They help you with your basics to mastering advanced-level questions. The same applies to the DI section as well. They have created interactive videos to help you learn how to tackle MSR and CR questions.

The preparatory course I took for the GFE was outstanding and provided a comprehensive range of high-quality study materials and mock tests. The course was meticulously designed to cover all aspects of the exam, and the depth of the resources available greatly contributed to my understanding and readiness. Additionally, the support team was exceptionally helpful; they were quick to respond to any queries I had and provided detailed assistance through the portal. My mentor played a crucial role in my preparation as well, offering invaluable guidance in developing effective study plans and strategies. Their support was instrumental in helping me enhance my performance on the GMAT, making the entire preparation process more manageable and effective.

Strengths:

Egmat provides a comprehensive platform to ace the gmat exam. They have a variety of questions in quant and verbal and learning materials that aid in understanding the concepts very clearly.

Would make the product better:

Questions on quant could be a bit more similar to Official guide . The quant section of Egmat prepares you for the worst so it is quite on the difficult side.

Egmat offers an amazing gmat prep course which helped me get a good score on the gmat. Their tricks and tips on quant are very handy and can save you a lot of time on the exam. I also got the opportunity to work with Dhruv who was my mentor in their LMP program.
He gave me personalised insights to action upon. They provide a good study plan as well. In addition to that their mocks are very reliable and a but on the tougher side . So if you get a good score in their locks then you can certainly ace the gmat. Verbal and DI sections were amazing as well. Overall it is a great course and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to ace the Gmat exam.

Strengths:

1. The amount of detail in the course. This course alone is sufficient to cover all concepts needed to ace the exam
2. The number of problems available for practice
3. Similarity of questions to the real GMAT

The aspect of the course I really love is the amount of detail present in the course. If you can be patient ( Which you really need for GMAT ) and take the time to understand the processes and practices put in place this course is an absolute banger! It hits all the required aspects in Verbal, Quant and DI. The questions on the Scholaranium might feel they are slightly harder than the ones in the GMAT official book but trust me, once you get the hang of the principles mentioned in the course they will really help you a lot when actually applying the concepts on the GMAT and it will feel like a breeze. The number of questions you can practice on to apply the concepts you learn is insane. So if you take the time and mindfully practice, I can guarantee that it will improve your score a lot!

The platform is also simple to use and pretty straightforward. They walk you through the learning stages - like Cementing and Test Readiness so you are 100% sure that you know the concept, learnt the concept and can apply the concept. They walk you through prethinking for CR, reading strategies in Verbal, applying process skills in Quant and owning the dataset in DI, all of which I really found helpful in my GMAT exam.

I was part of the LMP program ( Last Mile Push Program ) where you are paired with a mentor who can motivate you, guide you on where you should be focusing your time and skills on and even help you in areas you are weak. This really pushed me when I was feeling down or couldn't gather enough motivation to finish my tasks.

Overall Tips if you plan on choosing the course:
1. Be Patient and follow through the course. This isn't a small course by any means. It is meant to take you to 99 percentile. And contrary to the saying "Good things don't come in small packages"

2. Keep yourself motivated throughout the course. They have a system where if you get the questions right in the pre test of a concept, you are advised on what concepts you can skip. Take it up as a challenge and try to do your best and gamify your experience so it's interesting

3. If there is anyone you can rely on to push you to get that score, ( sometimes we all need that extra push ) don't be shy to reach out and ask the e-GMAT team for help. They will try and help you as much as they can.

4. The course is slightly expensive. So don't fall off the track. Keep the momentum going and try and complete the course within 4 months if possible.

All the best!
