I started GMAT prep in 2020 during the first covid lockdown. I tried all my ways to improve my concepts. I tried every online free source available but could not improve myself for one long year. After a year of self-study, I attempted for GMAT and scored a 600. I was shocked to see my score and decided to give a break to myself. After that, I started looking out for online programs for the GMAT. I listened to all the webinars and checked all the reviews. I found that while the other options that I explored were more focused on providing short-cuts and so-called smart tricks to ace the GMAT, e-Gmat focussed on mastering concepts and processes, an approach that appealed to me.

How did e-GMAT help me?

1. The verbal course of e-GMAT is the best in class. It starts with Master Comprehension which helps us understand how to comprehend any sentence or problem in Verbal as well as Quant. Moreover, the meaning-based approach emphasised by E-GMAT is the best to solve hard questions, which can never be answered by just knowing the grammatical rules. Earlier, I used to solve verbal questions using short-cuts. However, as soon as I started applying a meaning-based approach, my accuracy started to increase and this led to a major increase in my confidence as well. The meaning-based approach made everything so easy and interesting that I never found it boring ever again. I started enjoying practising SC questions as well. The application quizzes in the verbal course are really helpful in understanding the whole process of solving a question and improving every skill required to master it.
2. Although CR 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.
3. RC has been my weakest area throughout. However, the master-comprehension approach and meaning-based approach helped me to read the passages with full understanding. I never had to go back to the passage again if I read it using the master comprehension approach. This really helped me to gain better accuracy and speed in RC.
4. Quant course gives a detailed understanding of all the concepts in quant and it really helps in leaving no concept untouched. Earlier, I used to apply short-cut approaches in quant as well. However, the level of understanding I gained from the e-GMAT helped me solve each and every question with a proper process and understanding. the e-GMAT quant course is really intensive and the Scholoranium 2.0 really helps to diagnose the weak areas and focus on them. The scholoranium 2.0 provides a diagnostic quiz, based on which, you can diagnose the areas where you are weak and require more attention. Moreover, the process and GMAT quizzes are really helpful in attaining the right efficiency for the test day.

The e-GMAT analytics-based portal is truly commendable. All the insights provided by the e-GMAT portal are very useful to work on areas that require the most attention. The portal helps us understand our efficiency in all the topics in both Verbal and Quant. Moreover, it also helps us to track the time of each and every question and helps us achieve optimum efficiency. With the help of this portal, I could focus on my weak areas and track my efficiency throughout. The course also provides the scholoranium, which has n number of questions in both Quant and Verbal. The custom and cementing quizzes based on these scholoranium questions really helped me to improve my performance and track it in every way possible. Moreover, the Sigma-X mock provided by e-GMAT is a real gem. I guess these are the only mocks apart from the official mock that adapts on a real-time basis, just like GMAT, and also contains questions equivalent to the difficulty of the actual GMAT. Moreover, the mock analysis provided at the end is a very very detailed analysis of one’s mock performance. This tracks every question, every block, difficulty level, timing and whatnot. One can get all the required insights to improve their performance based on this mock analysis.

Lastly, the kind of support you get during the entire duration of the course is worth mentioning. I was given the opportunity to enrol on ‘The Last Mile Program’, wherein Rida, one of the e-GMAT experts, helped me during the last stage of the GMAT prep journey. Rida really helped me plan everything. She gave me insights into my performances based on my Scholoranium and Sigma-X performances. She continuously helped me create a plan to improve my weak areas until I was finally ready to give the GMAT. The plans she provided were a real gem at the last moment of my journey and really helped me to upscale my performance. She was always ready to help and used to respond spontaneously too. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Rida and I would recommend her 10/10.


Summing up, looking for an all-inclusive GMAT package that can help you prepare despite a demanding job? E-GMAT is your answer!

SCORE DISCREPANCY:
As an Globally renowned institute of authority, and my mentors who are responsible for my score, it would be great, if e-GMAT (Ms. Payal & Mr. Rajat) took up my case and clarified the anomaly with mba.com and GMAC.
This will not just help me, but also help e-GMAT guide its students in a better way.
Q48 and V40 leads to a score of 720: courtesy GMAC Official practice tests. A Q48 & V41 SHOULD lead to a score of 720+.

E- GMAT PREP REVIEW:
Now coming to why e-GMAT is one of the best prep courses for a 700+ score on the GMAT:
1. One-of-a-kind analytics:
• Customized timed plans based on your current skills
• Zeroing down to your each strength and weakness; and suggesting a plan to improve the latter. They actually have graphs tracking your progress as you go.
2. Mentorship support:
• I was mentored by DJ first, and Harsha later. During our long back and forth emails, we discussed everything from difficult CR questions, to testing strategy. His mentorship advice is as comprehensive as his Verbal dissections.
• Towards the end, Harsha gave me detailed plans to follow every day- what to revise, what to practice, what to score on quizzes. Super helpful.
3. Great content:
a) Verbal:
• SC- If you’re an English buff who solves SC questions by selecting what sounds right, you’ll likely falter on this section in the exam. e-GMAT’s meaning- based approach along with the detailed grammar lessons are your go to- s.
• CR- The pre- thinking approach was a game changer.
• RC- Read The Economist daily and read the entire passage- once, carefully. e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension course is a good resource to start with.
 For all of Verbal, watch out for Harsha’s explanations on the forum- they rule!
 e- GMAT Verbal is the closest to Verbal Official imo.
b) Quant:
• I didn’t do e-GMAT Quant much; the questions seemed to be decently more difficult (and longer) than Official Quant. But they’re great to build concepts, and to make sure you’re roasted to a level that you can crack the final test, with high accuracy (Q48+), and in the given time.
c) IR:
• A solid combination of e-GMAT’s Quant and Verbal finesse.

 The OG bundle is actually a waste without e-GMAT. The questions are the same, but the answers are poor. Use e-GMAT's Strategic review process here. e- GMAT actually has several different types of quizzes they recommend you do at different stages of your prep.
 Cherry on top- The simple and polished software further makes the content easy to absorb.

Good luck!

Hey,
Since this platform Gmat Club has been super beneficial to me while preparing for GMAT, it is only justified to share my journey! I hope this adds value to your journey for GMAT prep.
I am currently a final year student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering! I mention this fact as it was super hectic to manage uni and prepare for the exam at the same time. Nevertheless, it is indeed possible. During my first month of prep, I revised the basic concepts of Mathematics. It was not very hard for me as I had covered almost all the topics in high school. Also, engineering kept me in touch with mathematics!
For reference, I covered the Veritas Course Books for mathematics. By the end of the month, I easily scored around 49-50 on Quant. Verbal on the other hand was dicey for me. I had covered Manhattan course books as well as veritas and those helped a lay a strong foundation with grammatical rules and made me familiar with the question types. Unfortunately, my verbal score had a wide range, from 37/38 on a good day to 32/23 on a bad one. My confidence skyrocketed on one day and dropped on the other. It was only then that I started looking for a good verbal course. Reading the reviews on GMAT Club Forum, I thought to go with E-GMAT as it had good reviews and a 2-month flexible period, which was right what I needed. I had planned to give my GMAT in the month of March-April, but it got dragged to May due to my fluctuating verbal score.
Hands down, e-GMAT was what I needed to give me that push!
To describe e-GMAT, it had a three-step learning process.
1. Learning the concepts (Foundation Videos) Pre-thinking is a major learning concept that helped me get through the Verbal section easily.
2. Cementing ( Applying the concepts learned in the concept videos to real GMAT-like questions ). Honestly, it takes you from a beginner to an expert in that particular section. The solutions are well detailed and explained. So the major learning happens here. It was at this stage that I maintained an error log to understand and analyze the errors I was committing over and again.

3. Quizzes - A mix of questions from various blocks!
For my nerdy friends, here are statistics of Verbal: Verbal Prep

1. Completed MC, SC, CR, and RC courses

2. Solved 536 verbal questions during cementing and test readiness phases
▪ You solved 100 questions in SC – 75 for cementing and 25 for
improvement of your accuracy SC to 70%
▪ You solved over 86 CR questions – over 50 for cementing 36 for
improvement of your accuracy in CR to 60%
▪ Solved 78 RC questions in the cementing phase and improvement
phase
▪ Solved over 70 questions in the test readiness phase
▪ Reattempted close to 126 questions across all the sub-sections

3. Demonstrated excellence in SC as indicated by 70% accuracy in hard
questions and proficiency in CR and RC as indicated by > 60% accuracy in
hard questions

Finally, there was the last mile program which is offered by e-Gmat, in which I was contacted by E-Gmat mentors for personal guidance on how to navigate and follow the course better tailored to my needs.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with the course. I was confident of my score based on the last three mocks I gave on the platform. I ended up scoring a 41 on verbal, and 51 on quant! An overall score of 760!

PS: If you are looking to improve your verbal, you need to check out the e-GMAT course! Depending on your time and need, you can choose either a 2-month course or a 6-month course!

e-GMAT preparation is comprehensive and contains all the information that one would expect to be tested-on in the real test and even more. It offers structured courses in quant and verbal that if followed diligently are guaranteed to secure a very good score. I have particularly performed well in quant thanks to it
e-GMAT does the effort of generating detailed explanations for every question. A nice feature to mention as well is the question performance statistics, where the student is able to compare their timing and their answer choice on a particular question with the rest of the takers
e-GMAT also keeps up with the changes in the official test by providing solutions to the official GMAT to support your preparation of these questions

I am very glad I chose e-gmat to help me in my preparation. I had heard about them from my friend who had referred to their material after first trying other organizations and not getting his target score. Given I was short on time, I knew I had to strategize and refer to material that would be structured enough to help me cover all my bases and yet something I could go through efficiently. The e-gmat material came to my rescue with an amazingly well put together course for verbal, quant and IR. I started my preparations in December and had completed the main material by March. The online platform helped me stay on track continuously letting me know how many more hours I had to put in for each topic. But the best part was the PACE engine which is in built into the course and which helped me identify areas where I was good and could skip altogether. This reduced my overall prep time, leaving sufficient time to work on my weaker sections. The e-gmat material also has cementing quizzes which help solidify your concepts and has the ability to build custom quizzes. Each of these were a big help especially closer to my examination day when I needed to focus on improving my time management. Overall, I am very happy I chose to go ahead with e-gmat and thankful to the team that put together such great content and helped me achieve my target score of 750 :)

You wont go wrong by taking a subscription of E-gmat. The course is structured to take you step by step from the basic theory to practice for GMAT level questions. The scholaranium is a huge database of practice questions, which also provides great analytics helpful for topic wise review. I took eGmat course based on a friend's recommendation and got quick results , especially for Quant. The mock tests provide analysis of your answers at a topic level and give insights on where you are going wrong. I personally went through a lot of questions twice in order to gain mastery of the subject and it reflects in me scoring 100% on SC in GMAT( per my ESR). The quant questions in the course might feel tough but it will set you up for a comfortable score in GMAT. I strongly feel that practicing from OG and scholaranium is more than enough to achieve your target GMAT score. My only feedback to the company is to increase the number of mock tests for better practice

How do you crack Gmat? This was the first google search that most of us do and get a lot of content on the internet advising - "what needs to be done". However , finding the right schedule and the material to follow still remains the most difficult thing to do!
As I started my journey last year in December , I thought just doing the Gmat official guide and giving as many mock tests as possible will get me a decent score.
Note: Absolutely no touch with books from the last 8 years
I had hard time concentrating and that increased my anxiety. After a month of preparation , I gave the test and got 460.

Hugely disappointed by my performance , I thought I have no where to go but that's when I saw one of the videos of e-gmat and that actually helped me understand one of the concepts. Immediately I took the e-gmat Online 360.

What I liked the most - The whole course is self paced and the concepts are in the form where it actually helps a person to visualise. To cement what one learnt there are quizzes and it actually breaks down where should one focus. It helped me get a hold on my concepts, increase my speed and build the confidence on each module. I gave my Gmat on 10th May 2022 (with 6 weeks of preparation (solely e-gmat) and one mock test)
and received a score of 640 - V34,IR6,Q44. 180 points jump!!!!
With more practice and efforts , one can reach the desired score. My sole intention of writing this review - It actually helps. It helped me in 6 weeks to jump 180 points. I am sure with further support from their team I can even work to get a better score than this. Highly recommended

So I started my GMAT journey in September, straightway with the OGs without the help of any mentoring services available. Along my journey, I felt several hitches, and it ultimately reflected in my final score too. I ended up getting a score of 640 which was really heartbreaking. The PG course that I was looking forward to needed anything above 700. There are a lot of concepts and patterns that need to be cracked in order to hit the 700 mark. That’s where egmat came in and acted as the backbone of my journey. I delve deep into the verbal videos and noted the concepts thoroughly. In Quant, I got 49 or 50 in the mocks that I gave, so I didn’t practice it much. But it was a personal choice, I wouldn’t recommend that. Please go through all the videos on the egmat course.
After the videos I jumped on the Scholaranium which felt like the exact replica of the GMAT exam. The period from September to November was really hectic for me. I was working as a developer, something that I scarcely liked. It was the initial phase of my job, so I had to attend training after work. In addition to this, I was looking for the PG course that suits my expectations. This may look simple, but it's a whole new world out there with a plethora of specialized courses. That took a considerable time. After all these, I would sit down and practice for my GMAT exam. I knew that I have grasped the concepts, but still I couldn’t ace my scholaranium quizzes. Two and a half months passed, I was on the verge of finishing my question pool and still no progress.
At this point in time, it's easy to give up and just think that maybe it's not possible. But I calmed myself down took a couple of days off and soon realized that GMAT doesn’t only check your conceptual knowledge, it also checks your mindset. It's about how you approach questions and how you deal with them. After all my daily chores, the exhaustion wouldn’t allow me to be calm and solve questions with proper concentration. So firstly I quit my job, fixed my daily routine and after a short break I tried to give it another shot. I was out of scholaranium quizzes and most of the OG questions. I started looking for similar resources that could offer me the same level of English as GMAT, and what’s better than the American editorials. So I got The New York Times subscription and started reading 4-5 articles daily while keeping the concepts that I learned in the egmat course in my mind.
Find the article that you find interesting and read it with full concentration. You’ll find everything there modifiers, subjunctive tense etc.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/science/burrowing-owls-transplants.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage§ion=Science.
After around 2 and a half weeks of dedicated reading, I attended my remaining questions and I could actually recognize the patters and concepts in the questions At this point in time, I felt a little confident and booked my exam date for 24th December. Ultimately, I managed to get a 700+ score and the feeling was just gratifying.
One last thing, do maintain an error log. It may seem frustrating, but you’ll see the difference.

Although I purchased the course material in the early January, unfortunately I could start my preparation quite late.
eGMAT provides a very structured schedule based on the hours I can put for the preparation. Keeping up with the schedule helped me in structuring my preparation for Quant smoothly.
The Quant section of eGMAT is very thorough, structured and detailed. The experts do not want students to rely merely on the equations and formulae but rather on the logic behind those formulae. This approach ensured me that I could solve questions confidently even if I forget the formulae in the test hall. The diagnostic tests after every module also helped me to seal my learnings and use it on mock questions. The video answer solutions are beautifully created in a step-by-step method. In addition, the query forum for Quant section is lively and the experts take no time in replying back!
I was also assigned a mentor who kept an eye on my progress in quant section and provided suggestions to improve myself. The feedbacks assisted me further in boosting my confidence and making me test ready!
All in all, my experience with e-GMAT was amazing as I got a very good hold in Quants which in turn helped me to score a 700 with Q49 and finally securing a seat in INSEAD MBA D'23. For the future GMAT aspirants looking for a strong full proof Quant preparation, I would recommend E-GMAT Quant modules.

I went from 660 (based on official Gmat prep test) to 730 by using e-Gmat only. Took 3 months.

It has a LOT of material, both quant and verbal, and both theory and excercises. It also has a dedicated platform for testing which has official questions and questions similar to the official ones developed by e-Gmat. The platform has excellent statistics on your performance which are very helpful. It has as well 5 full Gmat mocks.

The downside is that there is just so much material and time estimates provided by e-Gmat are way too optimistic. Questions developed by e-Gmat are usually harder, more ambiguous and take more time to solve than official questions, consequently, you may believe that you are worse that your actual performance. The courses have material which may take hours to complete but relate to only a small subset of actual questions in the exam (so small in fact that you may never encounter such questions in any prep test or the official exam).

While e-Gmat theoretically breaks the learning curve in three stages to minimize the risk of you taking too much time reviewing stuff unnecessarily, the courses are actually designed for those who start from 0.

My word of caution if you choose e-Gmat is to be very strategic about how you decide to use the material. Always think about ways to skip parts of the study plan (while not affecting your learning). For example, you may skip pre-assessment quizzes, you may just skip to the summary on many topics, or the theory quizzes. Other topics may be skipped completely. You may also get worried because your score with e-Gmat questions is not as good as you may want... don't, rely on the score you get in the official questions. If you decide to follow the recommended e-Gmat strategy of first doing all verbal and then all quant, you may find that by the time you start doing the mocks, you have lost some skill in verbal questions.

All of this, of course, depends more on you and not so much on the side of e-Gmat. I think I could have gotten the same score in 2 months instead of 3 if I had been better at approaching the course material.

Overall, if you take into account this precautions, I do reccomend e-Gmat.
