I already had a score of 740 and wanted to go above that mark. I knew that pacing through questions was my biggest weakness, and hence I chose e-GMAT to work on that.

I was impressed by the number of questions as well as the interface that was available. Question difficulty is up to mark for scoring high in GMAT. The interface allows you to attempt questions in sets and in a time that simulates the GMAT test-taking experience. This helped me a lot to control my anxiety during the actual exam. Apart from that, the explanations provided are sufficiently articulate to make you understand any concept clearly.

I found e-GMAT really helpful when it comes to practice and would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with the exam.

The video lessons are thorough & interactive and they beautifully seed the processes and concepts in the mind. All the modules builds concepts right from the basics, are interventive with mid course quizzes to test performance and covers each area tested by GMAT comprehensively

Scholaranium is like JARVIS from Iron man, a complete tool which gives flexibility to take cementing, ability or custom quizzes and provides thorough analysis and a review list to focus and improve your weak areas.

I found the Sigma X mocks far better than all the Gmat official mock tests especially in terms of their adaptability and question bank.

And finally, the support mechanism is super responsive. I got responses to all queries I had put in within 24 hours.

It been a dedicated few month and now I am happy to report that I have scored 750 on GMAT. Being a working professional with heavy working hours it been a difficult but a rewarding journey. EGMAT’s course has been instrumental in providing a structured approach to my preparation (its difficult o study after 9-10 work hours if you don’t have a goal-based study plan). The detailed coursework especially – the meaning based approach in Sentence correction and pre-thinking approach in CR can make a world of difference in anyone’s preparation. But having a plan is not enough – having feedback points are also a must to be successful in GMAT and this is where EGMAT’s Scholaranium2.0 platform comes into play. The ability and custom quizzes really helped me to evaluate and reinforce the concepts I learned. I found that the Sigma X mock’s difficulty and scoring very close to the actual test.
But as with any course , a little course correction and guidance goes a long. I must thank EGAMT’s Last Minute Program (LMP) and the assigned coordinator of it for me – Aditee Biyani. Her guidance, hyper-specific plans and time to time words of encouragement made a big difference to my overall preparation.

I took EGMAT mainly to improve my SC score.
I came to EGMAT after doing Manhattan SC books.
EGMAT teaches concepts and also tells how to apply them right away which I found useful to cement my concepts. This also helped me to recall concepts faster when I encounter a similar question.
Ultimately I prepared notes from both Manhattan and EGMAT to help.
One thing which I regret is I couldn't internalize the whole process outlined by them. My advice for someone taking EGMAT and having time is to give some time to Internalize their approach in SC before jumping to OG questions, as that would help enormously. I couldn't due to my time constraints. USe scholarnium also to improve your shortcomings.
Egmat's RC and CR section didn't use much. Each person has their strength, they suggested making notes for RC, I am not sure how feasible is that while actively solving, some students might find it useful.
I couldn't as my handwriting is very bad, so I knew even if I make them, won't be useful while referring back. Also, I am a fast reader, so didn't have an issue if I have to read a passage twice. So this is my take on RC, but see what works for you.

Nothing to comment on in the CR section.
For QA, used OG and GMAT Club tests, only advice which has been stressed enough is to maintain Error Log for QA and not repeat your mistakes

E-gmat helped me take my score from 710 to 730 in a matter of 3 weeks. E-gmat has an amazing verbal module. The CR course was a game changer for me. The pre-thinking approach helped me increase my level of accuracy from 70% to 90% in one week. The quant module is quite comprehensive; however solving questions at their level of difficulty makes actual GMAT questions a cake walk. I would especially like to mention Aditee Biyani who acted as a mentor for me. She helped me prioritize my focus areas resulting in me making the most of my 2 weeks leading to GMAT. She stayed in regular touch and made sure to give me last minute tips and tricks before the exam that came in very handy.

My decision to buy E-Gmat course was an impulsive one but happened to be a best one. E-Gmat focusses on mastering concepts and process, an approach that appealed to me especially for Sentence Correction

Why E-GMAT course stands out?

 Verbal course is extremely good. It starts with Master Comprehension which makes life easier in understanding (solving) all the sections of verbal. SC course builds concepts right from the basics and covers each area tested by GMAT comprehensively. 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

 Although CR does not have many concepts to master, the process of breaking down the argument into premises and conclusion and understanding the author’s reasoning behind the conclusion helps eliminate even the options which would otherwise seem very strong contenders. Pre-thinking the assumption (or strengthener / weakener) would involve some conscious effort, since natural instinct would be to jump right to the options. However, it’s worth putting in that effort because pre-thinking not only improves the accuracy but also reduces the takt time.

 Reading strategies taught right since the start of the verbal course help gain a really good understanding of the RC passages, key to answering the RC questions.

 Quant course gives all the concepts required for the test and trains us on the process which makes solving difficult questions in less than two minutes easier. E-GMAT’s quant question bank is very comprehensive and difficulty level of the questions is higher than that of the ones in the official guide or GMAT prep. Once we get used to solving harder questions, quant in the actual test turns out to be much easier.

The data points (analytics) provided by E-GMAT course are truly commendable. We get a lot of feedback on time and accuracy subsection-wise (in fact, question type-wise; eg: we know how good we are at answering assumption arguments compared to answering boldface ones). This is extremely useful in mocks. I took Sigma-X mocks and mocks offered by GMAT Prep and by third parties. While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about what we can expect from the actual exam, difficulty level, etc, we cannot analyse our performance and how we can improve. Sigma-X mocks (by E-GMAT) are top-notch in this regard. We can have a complete debrief of the mock; I did not find such kind of data in the mocks offered by other third parties (I tried 2-3 sources). So, if you are looking for mocks that are a very good replica of actual GMAT and which can tell you your areas of improvement as well as provide best possible solutions to all the questions, Sigma-X mock is your answer.

Also, the kind of support you get during the entire duration of the course is worth mentioning. A lot of doubts get clarified just by going through the existing threads and you get prompt replies from the support team for all the new queries. Moreover, the team really supports you in the last few days/ weeks leading up to the test. I reached out to the support team after my first mock after course completion. Dhananjay helped me out in analysing my key areas on improvement, suggested the kind of customized tests I need to take to overcome them, even shared video analysing my mock performance. He pointed out that time management was the main thing I need to address; I followed the schedule suggested by him and in my actual GMAT I finished verbal on time and had ample time to spare after my quant section.

All Thanks to Payal, Shraddha, Aditee and the entire E-GMAT team

Any B-School applicant has to go through a critical (And for some of us, tough) phase of preparation for the GMAT/GRE exam. I decided to take the GMAT exam and started preparing on my own.

While the preparation started on a good note, my score plateaued after one point. I was not able to figure out how to improve my score further. After 3 months of self prep, I approached E-GMAT.

The team was very helpful from the beginning. They walked me through the wonderful platform, and allocated a mentor to me to help me work on specific areas. I worked with Archit over the next 45 days, as part of the Last Mile Push program initiated by E-GMAT. Working with Archit was a blessing in its truest sense!

He helped me identify my weak areas, charted out a plan to help me work on the same, and kept me motivated through the journey through his detailed and specialised video to my queries/questions. Under Archit's mentorship, I worked on my verbal section - he charted out a hyper-focused plan to help me improve in CR, and further strengthen my RC and SC. Archit also ensured that I did not slack off on my Quant practice, and charted out a path for me to continue work on the quant section as well.

I picked up the following skills in the process - Meaning based approach, Pre-Thinking, and RC Reading Strategies! Scholoranium 2.0 and Sigma-X Mocks became my most frequently visited windows (and allies) on the preparation process!

I am deeply grateful to the E-Gmat Team, and most importantly, to Archit! Would highly recommend E-GMAT to everyone (and if you're lucky, you might get a chance to prepare under Archit's guidance as well)!

Thank you E-GMAT! Thank you Archit!

2 months into exam preparation I had realized simply solving many difficult questions is not going to make the cut.
Post a 620 in my first attempt, I was certain of this.
While the concepts seemed simple and generic, there was something missing and I just didn't know what that was.
I decided to seek outside help and gave e-GMAT a shot.
Post the initial onboarding
,I dived into the course. Kudos to the team for making an excellent and user-friendly portal. The analytics uses performance in 1st Sigma X mock exam and our your target score to create a customized study plan. The course work and concept files are elaborate and covers everything one needs to know for the exam.The course focusses on building ability and exposes your weak areas in each section. The ability quizzes quantifies your learning and nudges you to work towards gap-fixing. The whole prep feels like a story--there is a start point and a logical destination. You can feel the improvement!
I personally liked the Quant course more than Verbal. The scholaranium is a decent question bank that covers everything under the sun, needed to ace this exam. Sigma X mocks offer the right challenges needed to be exam ready and create that stamina needed to ace the exam.
Overall, it's a great deal and I recommend purchasing both Quant and Verbal material, when going the e-GMAT way!

After more than a year of self-study, I took the GMAT for the first time and got 650, with a verbal score of 28. Utterly disappointed with my performance, I was about to give up on my MBA dreams. As I made up my mind to put an end to my GMAT preparation, a friend of mine suggested that I give e-GMAT a try. I was well aware of the e-GMAT platform as I had attended several webinars of e-GMAT. Though initially I was apprehensive about signing up for the course, today I feel that it was the best decision I took at that time.

The verbal course of e-GMAT is beautifully crafted. The "meaning based approach" to solve SC problems was really a game changer for me. Prior to joining e-GMAT, I used to solve SC problems by eliminating the answer choices mechanically, without caring about the intended meaning of the sentence. This technique failed miserably as most of the medium to hard level SC questions play on the meaning aspect. The e-GMAT "meaning based approach" worked really well for me and I was able to see a huge improvement in my SC ability. Though this approach used to take some time initially, with regular practice it became a second nature to me and I was able to solve most of the SC questions within a minute and a half.

In CR, e-GMAT's "pre-thinking" approach made life easier for me. As I followed this approach, my ability in CR improved form 44th percentile to 80th percentile. The detailed explanation in each of the CR questions helped me to master the pre-thinking skill.

RC was a pain point for me. I used to take a significant amount of time to read and understand a passage and still used to make mistakes. e-GMAT's key reading strategies helped me to read and comprehend a passage effectively. The e-GMAT's RC course content instilled the habit of reading a passage in an involved and evolved manner.

Though e-GMAT is more popularly known for its verbal course, I found that the e-GMAT quant course is as good as the verbal. The Quant 2.0 in my opinion is the best quant course available for GMAT today. In my quant preparation, I used to waste a good amount of time learning and relearning concepts I was already good at. The granular analytics in Quant 2.0 precisely predicted the concepts I was weak at, enabling me to spend most of my preparation time in only those areas. The Process Skills I had mastered through this quant course helped me a lot during the test.

Scholaranium 2.0 is a major part of the e-GMAT course. Scholaranium is not only a question bank of hundreds of high-quality questions, but also a great place to get granular analysis on one's ability and performance in different sections. From Scholaranium, I was able to get precise information about what are my weak areas, on which topic I should work on, and in what type of questions I am taking longer than the ideal time. This level of detailed analysis helped me to work on my weak areas in both verbal and quant. The course also provides an OG Scholaranium, in which one can practice Official Guide questions. I found this really beneficial, as detailed analysis is provided for each OG question. The 5 Mocks (Sigma-X mocks) I got with this course were fairly representative of my actual GMAT score.

e-GMAT is not only about its course contents and scholaranium. The e-GMAT support team, especially Nava and Dhananjay (DJ), helped me throughout my preparation by creating personalized study plans. I was fortunate enough to get DJ as my mentor in the LMP program, with whom I worked for the last couple of weeks of my preparation. The hyperspecif study plans and personalized strategy videos he made for me were immensely helpful.

Above all, during my entire journey with e-GMAT, I felt that I was a part of a large family. The team reached out to me whenever I needed any help with my preparation. Such support is much needed during GMAT preparation, which can be really lonely and frustrating at times.
