I bought egmat primarily due to my struggle with sentence correction and critical reasoning. The thing with sentence correction is that the grammar rules are just so diverse that it's quite a task to assimilate all of this stuff. EGMAT does a fantastic job at cementing all of these concepts.
Also a quick mention of their last mile program. Kunal Bhatia from egmat was working with me, analyzing my performance and giving me real time feedback about my performance, while also giving me concrete steps to take to improve my performance in both the areas. I am grateful for that. Thanks EGMAT.

sc is part where egmat excel ...they can work on their cr technique as prethinking did not suited me that well but their sc is the best in market. and quant section is also fine . but i insist on sentence correction.
if u are someone who is having trouble with sentence correction then their meaning based approach is really good as it will help you to understand tough questions.
my weakest link in my self prepration was sc and they actually help me a lot in resolving this problem .
i did not score well on test day but belive me I feel very comfortable in doing sentence correction questions

I purchased the e-GMAT course after getting a disappointing score in the verbal section of the first official mock test that I attempted before starting my prep for the GMAT exam.

Before giving the mock test, I was very confident with my fluency in English and expected to sail through the verbal section. However, after seeing the result, I realized that the scope of the verbal section in very different from the “Spoken English” that we Indians are accustomed to. I understood that in order to get a good score, I would need to develop a strategy to tackle each type of question in the verbal section. This is where e-GMAT was a game changer.

SC – The course helped me understand all the grammatical rules that constitute a correct sentence. However, what really helped me tackle tricky 700+ questions is the Meaning-Driven sentence analysis methodology that I learned from Payal. Understanding the intended meaning is paramount when it comes to selecting the correct option, especially in the case of tricky 700+ questions that offer multiple grammatically correct options.

CR – Pre-Thinking is crucial when it comes to tackling CR questions. It took me a lot less time to answer hard questions after I started using the Pre-thinking strategy. The main advantage of this approach is that you already know what to look for before even going through the options.

Scholaranium – I practiced a lot of questions on the Scholaranium. Both the verbal and quant sections really test your abilities. The folks at e-GMAT have done a great job at developing a verbal section that matches the official exam.

Highly recommend e-GMAT if you too are struggling with Verbal.

e-GMAT is one of the best courses for Verbal, in general and SC, in particular out there. In my first attempt, I was completely clueless about the kind of rules that go into solving an SC question. It was only when I took the e-gmat course, the second time around, did I understand the nuances involved in solving an SC question. It covers almost everything that you can possibly be tested on. In fact, I was confidently able to answer all the SC questions that appeared on the main day.

The scholaranium is also a great platform to practice questions on. In fact, the e-gmat questions are really close in structure to the official questions, something that I found lacking in a few other GMAT courses. This really helps in building a strong base to answer questions on the main day.

If anyone is struggling with SC at the moment, I would definitely recommend taking up the e-gmat course.

I started with my GMAT Journey in January of 2021. Since I was in the final year of college and had sometime on my hands, I decided to give gmat a shot. I started my preparation by purchasing the official guides, and I started solving some questions from these guides. After a few months I realised that my preparation did not have any formal structure and that I was going around in circles. This was in the November of 2021. I had taken 5 Manhattan Mocks and was scoring in the range of 620-640. I realised that I was desperately in need of a structured preparation plan. I reached out to the egmat team and got on a call with Manas Sadana to discuss my problems. He guided me through the details of the egmat plan and I really liked the overall program structure and processes. I decided to enrol.

I started off with Sentence Correction and went on to Quant and finished the course with CR and RC. With EGMAT, every sub topic has a structural improvement plan to guide students with different level of abilities- if I was strong in Geometry, the AI driven insights 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 the course, 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. In each question, the course provides the students with forum posts related to the doubts and issues faced by the 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 2-3 business days by the egmat team. The mentors for Verbal- including Harsha, Kanupriya, Stacey, Shraddha would provide excellent support on the forum. On the quant side also we had Bikramjit, Krishna and several others who would provide detailed solutions to each problem.

Coming to the mock stage- I gave 6 mocks before sitting for the exam over a time period of 1 month (I gave weekly mocks). During this phase, I was assigned a mentor to guide me through my preparation - Kanupriya Sharma. The mock phase is one of the most important stages of preparation and having Kanupriya’s guidance every step of the way helped me structure my improvement plan and work on my weak areas after doing a detailed mock analysis. I would take a mock on the weekend and Kanupriya would help me put together an improvement plan that I could work on during the week before my next mock. I was scoring 710-720 in most of my mocks. However, 4 days before the main exam I scored a 560 in Official Mock 6. I became extremely stressed upon seeing such a drop in my score but Kanupriya guided me and helped me work on a small improvement plan in the last 2 days of my preparation. Her support really helped me regain my confidence and I was able to ensure that I remain calm enough to make it through till the exam day. To regain my confidence, Kanupriya suggested that I take a final mock 2 days before the exam. I scored a 720 in this mock. I was able to regain some level of calm and composure upon seeing this score.

Exam Day- I had an 8 am slot at the Pearson Noida exam centre. I reached there in time and overall had a smooth exam experience. I ended up with a 710 (Q51,V34,IR-6,AWA-5.5).

To prepare for the GMAT I knew that I had to focus on Verbal side, because my math was already strong. I used one of the already well-known platforms and prepared for about 6 weeks. I got a 700 Q49 and V35. After all that preparation my verbal was still weak, and I knew it because I wasn’t feeling confident when answering the questions. I started to explore other options, talking to friends and reading reviews. Many people pointed me out to E-GMAT, especially for the verbal section.
When I wrote to them describing my situation and my need to improve in Verbal, within a couple of hours someone wrote me back proposing to have a Zoom call, stating that I needed a specialized plan to achieve my target score. I was already overwhelmed; I was used to the typical bot e-mails from the other platforms that do nothing but get you on your nerves, because you know they ain’t made for you. After having the Zoom call with the E-GMAT expert, we looked at my ESR and went on with a specialized plan for me. I started right away with the SC module.
The SC module is the best course that I could find for GMAT…by FAR. It is so well designed to help you tackle SC questions. I barely made any mistakes after doing the course and was feeling 200% confident. The meaning approach method is the KEY. Meaning is everything in SC, I am telling you this from experience. On my first attempt, after reading option A, I went directly looking for splits; that is not the right way. If you get the meaning right, then the rest comes alone. Therefore, I was feeling ready to go for the GMAT again and starting taking mock exams that the platform offers you. Since I was still struggling with CR and RC, I wasn’t getting to my target score. It was there when Payal, co-founder of E-GMAT, wrote to me personally. She is so deeply committed with the students of E-GMAT that she does a routine audit of student progression. She noticed that though I was doing some things right, I wasn’t getting other things right and gave me specific instructions on how to proceed with my hyper-specific study plan. Payal then assigned me to Rida, one of the experts from E-GMAT. Rida really helped me plan everything. She gave me insights into my performances based on my Scholoranium performances. She continuously helped me create a plan to improve my weak areas until I was finally ready to move on. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Rida and I would really recommend her.
I then continued with the CR course, and although it does not have many concepts to master, the pre-thinking approach used by E-GMAT really helped me master CR. It helped me understand the importance of classifying the arguments into conclusions and premises and pre-think all the possible approaches to work on it. I then finished the verbal section with the RC course, which is centered around really getting the meaning of the passage, by connecting sentences and inferring what the authors intends to say, emphasizing not to read fast or skip-read, but take your time to understand the passage. In the end, it takes you less time because you don’t have to come back to the passage for every question.
Finally, I would also give a 100% vow for the Scholaranium platform and question bank. It includes detailed analytics on sub-sections that make it so easy to identify your weak and strong areas. Scholaranium also includes 5 mocks, which are almost the same to the real exam (and I’ve tried many free mocks from different sources, all have flaws and do not resemble the real exam).
Summing up, having tried other platforms, E-GMAT is the very best among the market. If I were you, I wouldn’t doubt a second about choosing it, especially if you are struggling in Verbal.

The course is very helpful for non-native speakers like me. I could understand all the basic concepts required for tackling verbal questions. The meaning based approach for SC questions helped me a lot.Only knowledge of grammar is not enough to face the sc questions.Pre-think strategy for CR is very very helpful. The question back they prepared is also very good for preparing for the real thing.It's analytics is all we need to assess ourselves on where we are lagging and guides us we need to go back to learning phase. It is very intuitive and much needed if we don't know where is the specific lagging in Verbal section.

I had struggled a lot with the GMAT verbal section especially with the SC and CR part. But the approach followed in the e-GMAT curriculum makes questions easier for you and gives you more confidence in the answer choice you have marked.
The dashboard and the analytics help you revisit topics where you seem to be getting questions wrong. The forum works absolutely great to help resolve any queries that you have. The quant section is as detailed. And the quant question bank is one of the best for tough questions. Commit to the process which is stressed upon throughout the e-GMAT curriculum and you would surely be good enough to grab a V40+.

This review is only about the e-GMAT Verbal course. It is not a reflection of e-GMAT Quant whatsoever.

The e-GMAT Verbal course (especially SC and CR) is very comprehensive and very well planned. For someone like me who did not know where to start and how to proceed with learning, the course provided a very good structure which was easy to follow.

It seemed too tedious at times, but I trusted the hard work put in by the course creators and followed them diligently. It has everything, right from learning the basics to methods for problem-solving. There is a reason behind the extensive course and the taught methodologies. They make problem-solving intuitive and fast. I fully embraced the course and only slightly tweaked the taught methods to suit my style.

After completing the course, one moves on to Cementing Quizzes which establish test readiness. There is even a thorough process prescribed to approach these quizzes. Following this method completely was also very crucial. The ‘Scholaranium’ not only provided loads of questions to practise but also helped in reviewing progress and highlighting areas to improve.

I maintained a detailed Error Log as recommended. It seemed like a waste of time at first glance but was very important in providing focus and direction to my preparation.

The advice to write down a summary for each paragraph in RC was very helpful. The Scholaranium was also very useful for practising RC passages.

e-GMAT was a major reason behind my 99th percentile in SC and 91st percentile in CR. Thank you e-GMAT.

P.S.: I additionally solved all the questions in the GMAT Official Guide at least once. That also had a big role to play in my score.

e-GMAT is one of the best things that could have happened to me during my GMAT journey. I started looking for different courses backing August last year and then I came across the e-GMAT platform. I saw videos and testimonies of different students who were not good at verbal or even some specific sections of verbal and how e-GMAT's content and the people at e-GMAT helped them acheieve the score they wanted.
e-GMAT has the highest success rate of all the courses that I have come across and they update their content to make sure they are relevant and keep helping more and more students acheive the 700+ score.
For me personally, I started with a Mock score of 610 and verbal was very weak back then since I was already at Q49 in my first mock. e-GMAT has specific and detailed videos for each sections of verbal and that helped me understand the process that needs to be followed to achieve a great score in verbal. After my first attempt (where I scored a 650), I was very demotivated but people at e-GMAT were right there besides me ready to help me to get that 700+ score and help me achieve my target of 750. Rajat (CEO of e-GMAT) himself send me a video the next day after my first attempt to tell me what could be the issues in my process and what I am missing. In the next 40 days, I followed that process dilligently and got the results. Even in the last 2 weeks, Harsha (one of the e-GMAT experts) kept in touch with me to make sure I select the right date for my GMAT and I am completely ready for it.
Honestly, anyone thinking of GMAT should definitely consider e-GMAT and I assure you that if you follow their process and methods dilligently, you will see the desired results.
