I started my GMAT preparation in June 2021. Before beginning my preparation, I was in doubt about subscribing to any online course for GMAT because being an engineer, I was good enough in Quant and only needed more self practice, and being an ICSE student in 10th standard and pretty good in English, I thought any online course can’t teach me anything extra and only practicing more questions is what is going to get me through. So I bought the GMAT Official Guide 2022 and practiced each and every question, even revised my mistakes and revisited every wrong question. When I had completed the OG 22, I thought of appearing the first two official tests from mba.com. Scored pretty well in both with a 680 and 700 and gained more confidence. So I planned on appearing all the tests from the online test series of Manhattan and practiced questions side by side from GMAT Club from topics on which I committed most of the mistakes. I also had some study material for verbal from which I studied selected topics which I was not good at. As usual Quant section of the test series was very tough and the panicked me started emphasizing more on Quant and less on Verbal. Also, scores in verbal were okay (V 33- 34).
When I saw that I had gained much confidence, I appeared for the GMAT in October 2021. Scored a 650 with Q50 and a V28! Could not believe the score. Thought how on Earth could I go so wrong in Verbal ! Back that evening when I sat back and pondered on my preparation, I realized I had only gone through and understood the study material for verbal but I never learnt how to apply that learnt knowledge in avoiding mistakes. So then I decided to appear for the GMAT once again, now with proper coaching in verbal. At that time, E-gmat came to my rescue. The questions I was asked in my consultation call were whether I got confused with the final two answer choices after applying process of elimination, also whether I understood the meaning before moving to the answer choices. My answers to the questions were yes and no respectively. I realized those were my real problems. As I had only one month more at hand before the application deadlines I was offered a one-month E-GMAT course and immediately a mentor was assigned to me. I would say DJ was very patient with me and understanding, guiding me at every step and telling me what next to do. Also, the course and its modules were very informative. By going through the meaning-based approach and first finding errors in the original sentence and then moving to the answer choices, I started to actually feel that I was improving in sentence correction. Also, pre-thinking in critical reasoning and summarizing in reading comprehension were the tools that reduced my time taken on each question. Also, the emphasis on maintaining an error log really helped me focus on my mistakes. The study plan was extensive but by studying diligently I started getting more and more confident in verbal. After completing the module, I appeared again for the GMAT and this time I could score a 690 with a verbal improvement to V34.
With this, I realized that only knowing stuff is not important. Having a proper strategy and the right approach to solve the questions in the GMAT pattern is equally important.

I was unsure about signing up for a GMAT prep course for a very long time and spent a considerable amount of time preparing for the test before signing up. I completed the OG (twice) and took every mock available on the internet but my scores were extremely inconsistent. While there was a definite sense of slow improvement, my mock scores ranged from as low as 670 to as high as 740 and I couldn’t be sure exactly what I could reasonably expect on test day. I also felt like I couldn’t confidently assess and pinpoint my weaknesses to target them and secure my target score and so I decided that the best course of action was to sign up for an online GMAT course to provide some structure to my preparation.

During this time, I found E-GMAT through their YouTube channel where they upload weekly webinars which are conducted free of cost so I decided to go ahead and attend a few. These webinars were what convinced me to sign up for this course as their primary focus was on mastering concepts and establishing processes. This approach resonated with me because I felt that I would be able to bridge the gaps in my conceptual understanding of certain topics while identifying my weaknesses.

The Quant course is extremely through and focuses on establishing a solid conceptual foundation and then the process skills required to solve problems and how to apply them to solve even the hardest questions on the GMAT. This focus on improving my process skills and maintaining an error long were instrumental in improving my quant score as I was able to identify exactly where I tended to make mistakes and ensure I didn’t repeat them.
E-GMAT’s quant question bank is very comprehensive and difficulty level of the questions is higher than those in the official guide or GMAT prep. Solving these harder questions in under 2 minutes is essential in doing well on test day and really tests the depth of your conceptual understanding.

The Verbal Course is very good and builds right from the basics covers every area tested by GMAT in SC, RC and CR. In CR particularly, the pre-thinking strategy taught in the course helped me save a lot of time. Before using pre-thinking, I used to barely be able to complete the verbal section in the mocks and after learning it, I felt like I was able to not only complete the section comfortably but also answer questions with much more confidence.

Additionally, While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about what we can expect from the actual exam we cannot analyze our performance and how we can improve. The Sigma-X mocks (by E-GMAT) are extremely detailed in this regard. As someone who has taken pretty much every free mock available, I can confidently say that the Sigma-X mocks are by far the most comprehensive in their assessment and will expose any weaknesses that you have.

Finally, the personalized support I was provided whilst taking the course was tremendous. The e-GMAT team was always accessible through email and were extremely prompt and detailed in their responses. I was lucky enough to be offered a spot in their Last Mile Program where they provide you a mentor in the last few weeks of preparation to really push you to achieve your target score and I believe these last few weeks were the most significant and focused because of the direction my mentor provided.

My mentor Atreya helped me identify specific weak points in particular concepts in verbal and provided me with a personalized plan of attack including personalized ppts, videos and quizzes. He also helped analyze my mock performances and really made me understand the importance of timing and maintaining pace during the test. He shared a timing matrix and instructed me on how to create specific quizzes on the platform to familiarize myself with it and get test ready.

As someone with a fairly hectic full-time job, my only expectation from a prep course was that I would identify my weak points and improve on them. The E-GMAT course went above and beyond this expectation with the amount of support and personalized insight I received and the detailed timing and performance analytics for each sub section and topic on the platform.

In summary, I believe that the E-GMAT course is the complete package that can provide you with everything you need to achieve your target score!

I scheduled my first GMAT test in mid October 2021. Just 3 weeks before the test, I was in panic. I realized that I have a concept gaps particularly on SC. I looked through multiple reviews in GMATClub and decided to take e-GMAT course.

The e-GMAT course is phenomenal. The structured and comprehensive curriculum, the question banks and analytics platform are really exceptional. My favorite is scholaranium, which has amazing analysis on your strengths and weaknesses.

I took all the verbal courses in a very short period and I wish that I could take it much earlier in my prep journey. I realized that my prep was not optimal yet at that time, but I decided to go ahead for my first GMAT attempt. As a result, I got below expectation score of 670 (Q49 V31).

1 week post the exam, the e-GMAT team reached out and offered me a seat in the 'Last Mile Program' - a mentor-guided program to prepare your next GMAT exam within 15-60 days.

DJ is the mentor assigned to me and he is very great and super helpful. He analyzed my ESR and came up with targeted plan for the next few weeks, focusing on SC and CR. He shared weekly milestones on SC and CR, pointing out targeted courses that I need to retake - the most important ones are the master comprehension and meaning based approach for SC. He also highlighted to me the importance of error log (using e-GMAT structured error log template) - I was skeptical earlier, but after few tries, I realized that it was very helpful in really going deep to understand areas, skill-sets or processes that I faltered.

During my last 2-3 weeks prior to the test, DJ guided me to do Quant Test Readiness and the last mile plan. It was very targeted to refresh and further sharpen my quant skills. The last mile plan was helpful in building my test readiness skills as well as my confidence.

I took my next GMAT attempt on early December and scored 710 (Q50 V35). Thanks to DJ and the e-GMAT team in helping me throughout my GMAT journey.

Before starting the course on eGmat, I already completed a few GMAT courses from other reputed providers, but none of their approaches were well suited for my style, and despite putting up a lot of effort towards my GMAT, I could not improve my score and cross the 700 marks. After wasting three valuable attempts and a lot of money I came across eGMAT, which has excessively positive reviews for eGMAT on Gmat Club. I was skeptical at first but decided to join their free trial anyways and to my surprise, it was very thorough and teaches methods that can be used in a wide variety of questions and not just does the trick a few times and fail for the rest of the questions. Impressed by the trial, I enrolled for the full course.

My primary focus was English, where I was seriously lacking, and eGMAT delivered on the promise. When you go through the first few exercises, where they teach you how to read with pauses and introduce you to nouns and pronouns, they seem slow and nowhere near GMAT level at first but the course gradually develops your fundamental skills and prepares you for the harder questions ahead. Yes, their approach, of understanding the purpose of each part and then deducing the error in the sentence, may seem a bit slow at first because it is much faster to do a 2-3 split using some keywords and go for the answer, but as you approach harder questions this approach is your trump card. When you thoroughly understand the question, you don’t make silly mistakes and you’re more confident about the choices you mark. I can probably pinpoint a lot of things that I liked about the course, but all those are meaningless because the best thing about any GMAT prep course is that you can experience it yourself before enrolling and spending even a dime. Check out the free trial and you’ll see the difference yourself.

I still remember a quote from the founder Rajat in one of his webinars, “A lot of people say GMAT is a test of timing/time management, It is not. If you can’t solve all the questions in time, don’t. Attempt the first 27 questions correctly and mark the rest of them randomly. I guarantee you will get a score of above 700”. I made this my mantra for GMAT and, no surprises here, he was definitely right.

GMAT preparation is a vast and tedious process which takes more than 2 months for most people. The process can be overwhelming and easy to get lose yourself in. This was my exact situation before my first shot at the GMAT.

This is where e-GMAT comes in. The first step after signing in was to take a Sigma-X mock and create a "Personalised Study Plan" using the outcome of the mock. The PSP helped me structure my preparation and create a solid timeline toward my second attempt.

SC on e-GMAT was a game changer. The meaning based approach made the task of reading the question statement and all the options way easier. The grammar sections were useful in helping me revise English grammar.

CR and RC on e-GMAT introduced unique concepts that helped simplify the process of solving these questions. "Pre-thinking" is one of those concepts that helped my increase my accuracy in CR.

The quant package in e-GMAT is an ever evolving part of the course with Quest 2.0 suggesting the necessary steps to take in order to make the required improvements.

Scholaranium ties the whole course together and brings the most impact in boosting your score in the GMAT. Scholaranium helps cementing the concepts learnt in the video lessons. It's customisable and flexible quizzes with its in-depth insights is what sets it apart from anything else.

The support team is super helpful in all aspects whether it is understanding your study plan or execution on learnt concepts. A big shoutout to DJ and team on their unwavering patience.

To sum it up, e-GMAT was the perfect package in helping me boosting my score by about 70 points in a short span of time and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a structured and sequenced GMAT prep.

Egmat's verbal section has really helped me to conquer my weakest section, sentence correction. Since I had never been focused on using correct grammar, I was performing terribly in this specific section. The course structure helped me to clear the fundamentals and follow the meaning based approach which actually worked quite in my favor. Also the 3 step process designed by Egmat is quite a reliable tool for people who are not much experienced with grammar rules.
For QA, the best part is the course begins everything from scratch, which is helpful for people coming from non quantitative background.
I am thankful to Payal and entire Egmat team.

Back in 2018, I scored just a 580 on the GMAT. I was so distraught with the whole process that I almost gave up only to come back in 2021 to give it a try once more and start preparing for GMAT again. I started preparing back in Jan 2021 and solved all the OG questions and when it was time to give my mocks, I observed that my score was not levelling above 640-650 in all Manhattan and VERITAS mocks. That is when I reached out to e-GMAT folks in May to get the help I needed to improve my Verbal score. I had opted for just the Verbal online course from e-GMAT for which I had read a zillion reviews online of how intensive and thorough the course is.

I believed that my Quant was strong enough for me to score a Q49+ and that reflected in my prep and all the mocks too. I never scored below a Q48 in Quant, but to my dismay not sure what really happened on the test day that I just scored a Q44 even though I felt it had went well.

Verbal: The Verbal course was really thorough starting from the Master Comprehension module which makes you acquainted with how to read and comprehend really long sentences by taking appropriate pause points. This will help test takers in tackling both the lengthy SC questions as well as making sense of the CR and RC questions.
Although I was doing well in the OG questions and getting questions correct, I didn't know if I am getting a question right for right reasons and why are all the other 4 choices incorrect.
This is where e-GMAT's famous process proves to be utter useful. They have a very well-defined process for all the three sections in Verbal. For SC, they helped me inculcate meaning based approach which worked wonders for me to push those verbal barriers. It was an eye opener for me to realise how blindly I used to approach SC questions earlier. Similarly for CR, pre-thinking helped me get to that right answer pretty quickly. Although I felt it to be cumbersome and time consuming earlier, I realised its value soon enough and started using it while attempting CR questions. I personally was struggling a lot with RC more than any other section and personalised feedback videos from Harsha and my mentor DJ really helped me ace it. Like I never gave up on the journey and stuck o the process, neither did the entire e-GMAT team gave up on me. I could just send an email to the team and they would get back within 24 hours by hook or crook.

Their error log templates tailor made for SC and CR helped me pin point on the exact mistakes I used to make and eventually you do find a pattern of the mistakes you commit. Very importantly, the biggest help in e-GMAT was the question bank (Scholaranium 2.0) and the explanations. It is such an awesome tool with a plethora of questions to practice. each question had a clear solution with details of how to approach a question. And for the few questions where the explanations weren't understandable or thorough, I could just go to the ask an expert section where other test takers like me would have asked a similar doubt and the verbal experts would have clarified the doubts.

Lastly, I cannot finish my review without giving a special shout out to my mentor DJ. The kind of mentoring he provided and the way he was always brutally honest with me during the entire journey of prep was unparalleled. He was always very encouraging and pushed me in the right direction to get to this score in Verbal which I could have only dreamed of earlier. And when I was almost there and just needed a slightly harder push, he enrolled me to the Last Mile Push program wherein he just made me focus on my improvement areas and refine and finesse my verbal skills. The Last mile program made me believe in myself even more and got me to that score of V41.
I will always be immensely thankful to DJ and the entire team of e-GMAT.

GMAT journey is a very exhausting journey and takes a toll on you at times. It may not be easy to start with but eventually will lead to success. And the team sitting right here is extremely supportive and will guide you in the right direction. Personally, I would say that had I taken the course slightly earlier, my prep time would have been reduced by more than half. This is indeed a ONE STOP SOLUTION for acing the GMAT !

I took the GMAT on self study on the end of September and got 710. I was looking for a prep material that could help me get the additional 20-30 i needed and found Egmat pretty well structured and advanced.

The overall material is good, with nice explanations and exercises. However, i think the material is good to help you arrive to the 700 milestone. Still, it is not sufficient if you plan to score a higher score like top 5 % as it lacks the tips and tricks to do that. Some of these tricks, especially in Quant, were included in the Gmat club forums but not in the preparation material. Moreover, the Verbal section might be a little bit biased as my real verbal score was below all the mocks i took.

Overall, good for preparing if you are new to Gmat.

I started my GMAT Prep in June 2021, and was keen on joining a coaching institute that would teach in a live and interactive manner. I ended up joining another apparently "well-known" coaching institute and wasted 4 months (Jun-Sep) and 40K for a 3-month seemingly live course, only to realise that neither my doubts were getting cleared, nor was I getting any proper guidance (faculty was rude every time I'd ask a doubt in the live classes). All they taught were short cuts and tricks that never worked for me. In October 2019, when I took my first attempt at GMAT, I scored a mere 630 which wouldn't get me anywhere. (Please note, I got a 730 in GMAT Practice test 4 just one day before the test; I found out that the famous coaching institute had used some of the quant questions and RC passages from official mock questions in classroom teaching and perhaps hence my scores were inflated). After my GMAT, I contacted my previous coaching institute faculty seeking further guidance, only to get ghosted (faculty wouldn't respond even after I tried calling them 3-4 times). Frustrated, I rigorously searched online and came across e-gmat and after reading verified reviews and reading free eGMAT topics, set up a call with Sundeep on October 5 and explained him my situation. I had already missed R1 and desperately wanted to apply in R2. Sundeep guided me, explaining exactly how many hours I needed to put in, over the next 2 months. I immediately bought the 2 month online focussed course and started my prep. I started with SC, which was my weakest section (scored a mere 50th percentile in the first sigmaX mock). After going through most of the topic videos, taking all the cementing quizzes, and 1 ability quiz, my SC score touched 97th percentile in the second sigmaX mock. The meaning based approach was really the key! I knew most of the basic concepts (basically had the key ingredients), but did not know how to apply them without judging the correct intended meaning. Once SC became my strength, CR and RC had to be worked upon. I watched all the CR videos (at this point I hadn't touched RC) and took a few cementing quizzes. I must work more on RC and CR to score more than a V35.
eGMAT course aims to build the ability to solve questions, rather than just providing useless tricks that do not always work. Quant has been my strong area, as I am from an engineering background; however, the courses have helped me fill the gaps and reach a Q50.
I took another GMAT on 30th November and scored a 700 (Q50,V35). After that, I reached out to the team and was immediately responded back by Dhananjay. I'm now looking forward to his guidance to help me improve my scores (hopefully by December end) and I place my full trust on eGMAT and the faculty.
(Another positive point of this course is that your doubts get cleared immediately with the help of respective discussion threads, so you don't have to deal with unresponsive / rude faculty. At the end of the day, one must get the value for their hard earned money and eGMAT is worth every penny!)
