The E-GMAT Course came as a blessing in disguise when I was struggling for some direction after a dismal 610. I decided to sign up for the course after multiple recommendations and extensive personal research. If used right, this course might just be your key to a 700+ score.

Verbal: The verbal course is par excellence, to say the least. The course has been designed in a manner that slowly takes you through the learning process and ensures that you not only get familiarised with the type of questions the exam tests you on but also learn and internalize the skills. As a result, I can say with confidence that I will carry the skills with me and will, hopefully, build on them.

Quantitative: Quant has since time immemorial been my Achille's heel. Quant 2.0 was potentially the best thing that could have happened to me for my exam prep. The painstakingly designed details go a long way in ensuring that you get your basics right and steadily move onto the tougher portions. I managed to secure a Q47 (trust me, even this means a lot to me) largely because of this course.

Finally, the LMP Program adds that extra finish to your prep efforts. After having scored a 690 on my second attempt, I sought the assistance of the strategy team to help me identify my development areas and work on them. I was then put in touch with Dhananjay who used to give me regular feedback after mocks, feedbacks that were very insightful and accurate. Additionally, he would also provide me with feedback about my quiz performances and how I need to utilize the Scholaranium to maximize the impact of my practice sessions. With periodic feedback, tangible goals and constant guidance, I was able to break the 700 barrier.

To sum it up, if you're struggling with finding the right resource for your preparations, I would strongly suggest that you consider E-GMAT and give it an honest try!

I started my GMAT journey with the e-GMAT's GMAT online course back in December 2020 after some research on the GMAT club about the different available tutoring options. I am glad to have made the right choice as the e-GMAT provides an extremely well-tailored prep program where smart analytics and experienced strategy experts guide you towards identifying your weak areas, resolving the weaknesses in an appropriate manner, and scheduling your prep in a manner that you can manage it as I did with a full-time job.

When I started my GMAT journey, I had taken a diagnostic test from the Sigma Mocks available in the e-GMAT course and scored a 630 (Q49V27), hence I was aware that Quant was my strong foot coming from an engineering background therefore I used the E-GMAT course only for the Verbal prep.
E-GMAT provides a comprehensive and very well-rounded verbal course. The meaning-based approach for SC is the best suited to solve hard questions on the GMAT where you can't just get away by looking at splits. Not only the approach but also the basic concepts are very well covered in the course. For CR, the concepts were covered really well to develop an understanding of the argument structure in terms of identifying the premise and conclusions and identifying the author's perspective. Here the prethinking of the assumption/strengthener/weakener is a game-changer in getting your accuracy right up there, and, also with sufficient practice, helps you reduce your average time on a CR question considerably. For RC, the strategies on how to approach the RC passages, how to break up the passages and summarizing in between for a comprehensive understanding, and realizing the author's perspective through your summaries from the passage really helps tackle some of the difficult RC passages irrespective of the topics.

Talking about the sigma mocks from e-GMAT, I found the mocks to be one of the closest to the actual GMAT exam as I got the exact same scores in my final 2 sigma mocks and my actual GMAT on the first attempt. Also, the ESR-like analysis reports available at the end of the mocks really help you improve your approach for the sections with respect to timings, and identify accuracy in the different difficulty level questions for the different sections to shed light on the weaknesses. Also, with the introduction of Scholaranium 2.0, e-GMAT has taken their analytics game to a different level providing brilliant insights and accurate representations of the current ability levels in the different sections of verbal and quant.

But out of all the features of the e-GMAT course, the one that suited me the most was the constant support provided to me by Dhananjaya from e-GMAT who helped me create an elaborated study plan and fix my issues with my verbal approach, especially with my weaknesses in RCs. His incredible analysis from the sigma mocks, official prep tests as well as the ESR from my first attempt, in the form of personalized videos, helped me identify my timing issues and fix them significantly. Even when I was not able to give the best of my ability at the GMAT and fall short of my target score, Dhananjaya and others from e-GMAT were constant support on my journey forward and helped me get back to intensive preparation.

My journey has not ended yet with the GMAT, looking forward to what should be my final attempt(hopefully) to crack my target score and I trust the support from e-GMAT to achieve that.

To summarize, I would say that the e-GMAT course is without a doubt, one of the best overall packages for the GMAT prep, and I highly recommend it.

I started preparing for GMAT in June 2020. I started studying from the OG. After few months, I realized that OG was necessary but not sufficient. I started looking for an appropriate course and came across EGMAT. Since, I needed the most attention in Verbal , I decided to join the EGMAT Verbal course.

SC: I found this section to be the best. The meaning based approach and the 3 step strategy to answer the question was just the kind of approach i was looking for.

CR: The emphasis on the pre-thinking approach was the highlight of this section. This approach made me realize the importance of taking a moment to think about the probable answers first and then proceeding with the answer choices.

RC: I found this section to be the most basic yet the most effective. The emphasis on taking a couple of seconds extra to "Comprehend" is the forte of this section. I was surprised to see my accuracy shoot up by just applying the strategies covered in this section.

Scholaranium: This is the forte of EGMAT. It is surely one of the most well structured interface to practice and assess the GMAT like questions. Kudos to the EGMAT team for designing this unique platform. It is surely a game changer.

To all those who are looking for a structured way to prepare for GMAT , I would highly recommend EGMAT to you all.

Background

In 2020 I planned to take the GMAT and started the self-preparation using various free material. I scored a subpar 660 (Q49, V30). This score was not going to get me into any decent school for a Full Time MBA. In May 2021, I gathered the strength and decided to prepare for GMAT once again. I had heard from friends that e-gmat was a one stop shop for all my preparations for the GMAT. Right from video lessons to Scholaranium2.0 to sigma-x mocks, e-gmat offered a complete package.

The Study

To make life easier, I was offered a pilot program at e-gmat - “Last Mile Touch”, which is essentially a one on one mentoring program to ace the GMAT. I got in touch with Archit and my journey resumed. Archit assessed my performance in the first sigma-x test and my ESR from 2020 and immediately came up with a 4 week plan for Verbal, the section where I needed most help.

CR was a strong sub-section and Archit without changing my approach much, asked me to just revise and practice questions on Scholaranium2.0. In the RC section, I had a weakness for passages on Humanities. Archit shared various sources where I could find GMAT level passages and asked me to start reading at least 2 passages every day. This helped me comprehend such passages much easily and hence the propensity to get its subsequent questions correct.

SC was a nightmare for me and this is where Archit’s contribution was the most impactful. The 18 day plan to restructure from a random approach to a meaning based approach based on the e-gmat video lessons helped me improve my skill in the SC section. But my timing was still way off and took me 120-150 seconds to solve medium level questions. The next plan was to improve the timing by taking sub-sectional quizzes from Scholaranium2.0 - initially with extended time and slowly and gradually towards the 90 seconds mark, which is the standard for GMAT SC questions. Within a week, I had a decent accuracy and timing at the same time.

Test Readiness

The next step was to improve test readiness and the ability to switch quickly within there 3 sub sections. Archit helped me simulate the exact Verbal section from Scholaranium2.0 and helped me improve my accuracy from 64% to 86% within 2 weeks. Now, I was ready for the mock tests and I took a week off from work. I attempted a mock everyday in these 7 days at the exact time of my exam. I also had a good mix between the sigma-x mocks and the official practice tests.

On the exam day, I followed the exact same schedule and was super happy to see a 740 score pop up on the screen.

Last, I’d strongly recommend e-gmat and Archit to anyone trying to improve his/her score. E-gmat has all the resources to fill the conceptual gaps and an exhaustive list of more than 700 medium and hard level questions in the Scholaranium2.0 forum for anyone to practice from. All these questions also have a solid explanation to solve these questions. Archit is an expert and has helped many people achieve their target GMAT scores. He knows the test in and out and will quickly identify areas of improvement, improvising the study accordingly. A massive thank you to e-gmat and Archit.

To provide some context, I gave my first attempt in Sep-20 and scored a 670 (Q47, V35). Post that I took some time off preparation and resumed studying in Feb-21. I enrolled for the GMAT Online product and felt that the video lessons of both Q & V sections are very thorough. Also, the application / practice quizzes ensure that the concepts and process are cemented.

SC - I've never been great with Verbal, especially the nuances associated with grammar. However, the meaning based approach was a game changer as it helped me find the right solution (or rather eliminate the wrong choices) with reasonable logic.

CR - Initially I was very apprehensive about the Pre-thinking approach and felt it was not for me. My CR sectional scores were not up to the mark for me to reach my target of V40. With practice, I inculcated the Pre-thinking approach and noticed a sea of change in my accuracy. I would strongly recommend this to anyone struggling with CR

RC - I was fairly comfortable with RC, however, on further analysis (thanks to Scholaranium - it was a breeze to identify weak areas) I noticed that I was faltering on Main Idea questions. I was able to quickly address this by revising the specific topic files and taking a custom quiz (a process that I learnt from the e-GMAT team)

Quant 2.0 - During the prep for my first attempt, I skipped some topics (P&C, Co-ordinate Geometry etc) as I couldn't grasp the concepts easily. However, the introduction of Quant 2.0 really changed my approach towards Quant section. I went through almost all the concept files and was really impressed the way it is structured. Kudos to the e-GMAT team for their efforts.

Scholaranium 2.0 is my go to tool for GMAT prep and would recommend this to anyone looking for help to identify weaknesses. This is a brilliant addition to the already solid course offering and helps one track their progress in seconds. The level of data insights is really impressive and also provides the flexibility to create custom quizzes to replicate a sectional mock without wasting a full mock exam.

I really liked the Sigma-X mocks compared to the Gmatprep official mock tests. I felt that the official mocks are slightly easier than the actual exam, especially the quant section. The ESR like explanation provided after the Sigma-X mocks is very helpful as it highlights timing issues, luck factor etc.

And finally, the support mechanism and the Last mile program - this is where e-GMAT stands out miles apart from anything else in the market. The preparation can be an anxious phase and having someone by your side providing invaluable inputs is next to none. Having worked with a private tutor in the past, I can say that Dhananjay (DJ) does a fabulous job of mentorship. I would like to thank him for addressing all of my countless queries, creating hyper specific study plans, providing detailed feedback after each mock test and lastly the constant support throughout the journey. I still remember, two weeks prior to my exam I had scored a 680 on a mock and was highly disappointed with it. I reached out to DJ asking if I should postpone my exam, but he calmed me down and helped me identify where I went wrong and shared a specific plan of action. I diligently followed his advice and was finally able to break the 700 score-barrier.

Thanks to the entire e-GMAT team (Rajat, Payal, DJ, Archit, Aditee - sorry if I missed out anyone) who were part of my journey.

I joined E-gmat with the pursuit of improving my verbal score. I reached out to DJ when I was unable to cross the 710 marks. He was not only extremely patient, responding to all my emails but also put together a structure that helped me improve.

Though, my overall GMAT score did not improve. I ended up getting a V-39 on my attempt that definitely highlights my improved comprehension.

I also really wish I had reached out sooner to DJ - he made my life structure by putting together a plan and walking me through each step. Furthermore, he even helped me squeeze in prep just before my exam (not a usual practice) for me but I just needed a confidence boost.

The course structure is very straightforward and breaks down through concepts in easy-to-understand videos and slides. The section modules are studied in a fun way and offer ideas and methods to solve the GMAT questions.

I enrolled for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course solely to improve my verbal score. I reached out to e-GMAT experts who responded to all my emails but also put together a structure that helped me improve.

Though my overall GMAT score did not improve more than 30 points, I ended up with a score of 39 in the Verbal section - most of its credit goes to the e-GMAT verbal course.

I really liked the SC modules focusing on meaning-based methodological approach which really helps in 700+ level questions. All the concept and practice quizzes in between modules really helped me to fine-polish the specific concepts.

Overall, really good course for folks who wish to improve their Verbal score.

E-Gmat Club course for both in Quant & Verbal is more than enough for somebody targeting a 700+ in the GMAT test. All you need to do is religiously follow the process talked in the course.

I mostly used the E-Gmat Verbal Course which very well defines the process which needs to be followed to solve a question. Following it, I was able to see tremendous improvement in the verbal section.

The other great thing about the course is Scolaranium. It really made me test-ready. It also allowed to target my weakness with the data insights that it provides and with its custom quizzes.

I really owe this 720 to the E-Gmat course.

I started preparing for GMAT last year to get admission to a part time MBA program. After researching a lot, I subscribed to two online GMAT courses, e-gmat was one of them. My first attempt yielded a score of 690 (Quant 50, Verbal 31). I was not satisfied with my verbal score and decided to give GMAT once again. I accepted the score because I wanted to see my ESR report and get feedback on it. I approached e-gmat team with my ESR report and asked them for help. Within a day, I received a personalized video explaining my ESR report and steps to follow in order to achieve higher verbal score. Dhananjay explained the ESR report in depth and also pointed out my weaknesses. Dhananjay came up with detailed 21 day plan and started assigning tasks to me. There were clear instructions about what needs to be done and how to track my progress. Throughout my preparation, Dhananjay kept on motivating me and gave valuable tips to keep me on track. I thank Dhananjay a lot for his expert support. Kudos to Dhananjay. I improved my verbal score in my third attempt 690 (Quant 50, Verbal 32), not by much, but I am sure that if I had followed the instructions from Dhananjay word by word, I would have had a better score.

In this journey, I would definitely talk about E-GMAT course, especially about Verbal section.

Verbal course starts with Master Comprehension (MC). MC explains the very basic thing “reading and comprehension” in a very structured manner and makes it easy for you to follow the rest of the course. Don’t skip this section, this is one of the most fundamental technique you need in GMAT. Sentence correction course stands out as it emphasizes on meaning based approach, which is very important in tackling harder questions.

Critical reasoning course provided by e-gmat is the most comprehensive material I came across during my studies. It makes it extremely easy to break down the argument into premises and conclusion and helps immensely to understand the line of reasoning used by author. Pre thinking is difficult step to conquer and needs a lot of practice. I think this is where I missed the trick in CR. I would strongly urge that you practice pre-thinking in every CR problem you solve to gain mastery at it. Pre-thinking is the most important step at solving CR questions.

I did not go through Quant course much and directly started solving the questions (one very god trick I learned was wavy line method :)).

Scholaranium is the e-gmat platform for practicing GMAT like questions. I must say that the platform is well developed, the question bank is very mature and the questions resemble the real GMAT questions, especially Quant questions. You can make you practice quizzes, concept quizzes and even mini tests. Every question you solve is thoroughly examined by the platform and you get immensely useful statistic out of your practice. The stats report is exhaustive in nature and touches many aspects, such as timing, accuracy, classification based on question type, etc.

Another astonishing thing in e-gmat is Sigma-X mocks. I took mocks offered by GMAT Prep and by third parties. While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about actual exam, Sigma-X mocks provide detailed analysis of your performance on the test. These tests are as good as real GMAT and I would advice you to take them in one sitting to get the best analysis of your performance.

In summary, if you want to excel in GMAT, E-GMAT is the platform to go for. Extremely useful video explanations of theory and solutions along with scholaraniam and Sigma-X mock tests and your disciplined efforts will definitely help you achieve your dream score on GMAT.

After months of trying to ace the gmat through self study, I decided to attend a free webinar offered by e-GMAT. Post the webinar I decided to purchase the course and I only wish I had taken this step a bit sooner.

The entire course is structured so well that the need to refer to other sources doesn't arise at all. The course lays great emphasis on conceptual understanding and application, and this is exactly what is required. I saw great improvements in both RC and CR. The e-GMAT reading strategy helped me tremendously in understanding complex passages, and the meaning approach in SC and the pre-thinking strategy in CR made an even greater difference for me.

I would like to highlight one of the best features of this course - the Scholaranium. This huge question bank was my favourite. The interface allows one to tailor the quizzes as per ones requirements. It is a great tool to help strengthen the application of concepts. Another aspect I loved about the Scholaranium was the detailed solution provided for each question. These solutions helped me further my application skills.

The course includes 5 sigma X mocks. I found these mocks in line with the level of difficulty of the actual test. The scoring in the mocks is also quite accurate. One might feel that 5 mocks are too less, but honestly, they are more than enough, and using the option to create quizzes, one can definitely create full fledged sections.

Finally, I'm grateful to e-GMAT's Last Mile Program and my mentor Atreya Roy. Atreya really helped me identify my weak areas quickly and ensured that I focus just on them. He kept me motivated even on days when I wouldn't do well on my quizzes or mocks. Without him, I don't think I would've been able to improve my score in just one month. A big shoutout to him!
