For anyone planning to take the GMAT exam, E-gmat's curriculum is a godsend. I had a low score on Verbal (V27) in the first mock I took and the Master Comprehension module given right before the verbal module, helped me in building concepts that were required to solve the tricky and often lengthy sentence correction and critical reasoning questions. The verbal module breaks the entire SC, CR and RC into small blocks where each and every possible information is covered and learning is retained due to multiple repetitions and practice and application quizzes.
Designing tests according to my aptitude in the Scholaranium platform helped me determine my exact areas of weaknesses and the areas which needed the most attention.

I was impressed with the detailed course breakdown. Verbal was my weakness but the course really helped me improve a lot. The theory for SC and CR is just phenomenal.
SC- The Modifier section of eGmat is the best you can find. The practice questions are also of the actual GMAT type.
CR- The way this seemingly abstract concept has been broken down is just too good. The learnings from this module goes well beyond GMAT exam. Needless to say it's a greatly designed module.
Quant- For me quant was never the issue. The questions given by eGmat are on a tougher side but it's better to practice.
Support- This is the main USP of eGmat. Any query and they are there for you. Even after my GMAT, they helped me in my college selection process.

I finally got a 700 in my GMAT today ( Q50 , V34) .
I wanted to take the opportunity to share my journey here to help all students who are perhaps confused among the many sources available for preparation.
I started my journey with e-GMAT sometime back and my first GMAT Prep Official mock was 560 (Q45,V22). Given an engineering background i was confident of being able to do well in Quant if i brush up on some concepts, however the Verbal score was very disappointing. Here i would like to share that even though i am a non native speaker, my medium of study has always been English - thus a V22 was shocking.
My friend recommended e-GMAT to me for improving my Verbal. Here i would like to highlight that the course is very structured with a focus on 3 stages of learning - Building a strong foundation , cementing methods learnt, Gauging the Ability through custom quizzes and full length tests. The entire Verbal course focusses on meaning based approach , which is the key to getting higher scores.
The verbal course helped me improve my point by 8 and My first GMAT attempt was at 620 ( Q43, V31). I would like to highlight here that i did not focus on Quant much except solving OG questions. While i did well in the OG questions, the actual GMAT quant was much tougher especially if you are aiming at scores above Q48. I came back and wrote to the support team in E-GMAT. Within a few hours , i got a response from them - with an analysis of my account and requesting an ESR. I did provide the ESR and again within a few hours - i got a full analysis of my ESR, where i might be going wrong and what i should be doing to improve my scores. Again a very step by step approach was suggested - with major emphasis on doing the QUANT 2.0 course.
This course is a game changer ! The structure of the course again is on the 3 stages of learning - however they very interestingly have divided the modules such that you first give a Diagnostic test ( by topic) to gauge your understanding on the topic - then you have concepts, practice tests and then GMAT level question practice. Each module has been designed the same way and in the end you are recommended to go back and do the diagnostic test.
That in itself is a proof because you immediately would see your scores increasing.
Given that I was working full time , i was looking for something structured, on point and with best ROI of my time and Quant 2.0 course of eGMAT was exactly that. I would highly recommend this to professionals as it would help you reduce your prep time significantly. One more interesting feature of the course is that you have video solutions for everything and you can adjust the speed of watching the video :)
Post the course , cementing and practicing questions - the actual GMAT test seemed much simpler and the evidence is the Q50 i scored.
I also would like to highlight the role of the support team here - DJ, Ashutosh, Nava - the response time as well as the willingness to help is really commendable. They do care for every student's score, career and time as if it was their own .
Highly recommend the course !
Good luck on your GMAT journey

'Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did"

These words above are in brief the story of my GMAT journey which spans across 3.5+ years and 5 attempts (excl. one failed GMAT online attempt).

Disappointed after getting another sub-par score in Aug 2020, I spoke to an e-GMAT mentor and enrolled for both verbal and quant course i.e. e-GMAT online course.

On my enrollment, I was advised to take a mock to understand my level of understanding from previous attempts. Based on the score in mock, I was enrolled to a mentorship program. At the time of buying the course I was not aware of any such program and didn't realize how important it will be for my preparation. This mentorship program and the scholaranium were the key factors for my 160 point score improvement and 20 point improvement in verbal section.

The mentorship program provided the customized touch for the students and encouraged students to perform better with right strategy and focus. This human touch to the prep was what I needed after 4 failed attempts. I worked with Dhananjay (DJ) during my preparation and he was the constant motivator for me as he knew that I not high on confidence after failed attempts. He provided an initial strategy to go through the course. After I have gone through the content, I was provided a plan to build my ability through the ability quizzes. As I moved closed to my exam date, DJ provided a 15 day exam readiness plan to prepare me for the exam day. This exam readiness plan helped me work on my timing strategy that I used during the exam. DJ was very reachable during the entire course and helped me achieve my target score.

Scholaranium provided insights into the type of questions that I was getting wrong. This data driven approach helped me identify gaps in my preparation and guided me to concepts or process that I needed to revise or needed to get polished to it right in exam.

In terms of content of the course, verbal course is one of the best that I came across during my preparation. The focus on getting the process right for solving each type of question led me to use a structured approach (3 stage process) for each question. This provided clarity during the exam as I was not left on my own to find the right approach and also led me to reduce the time required to solve each question. Moving on to the quant course, it is one of the most comprehensive course. It covered all concepts that are tested on GMAT. The course is structured in such a way to develop a good memory of concepts on topics such as number properties or geometry. The quant course pushed my quant score from 49 to 50.

I will be happy to address any further queries. Please drop a message on LinkedIn.

Apologies for the inadvertent typos

I took my Gmat in the first week of Jan and despite having done well on my mocks in Verbal (V35-38) I ended up scoring a meagre V31 on my final test. I ended up doing well on quant which was my weaker area. I faced difficulty transitioning instantly from Quant to Verbal on GMAT online and also realised that I had a few gaps in concept and preparation.

I was really disappointed and frantically reached out to Dhananjay at E-gmat and explained my situation. He was really prompt and started by investigating my gaps in detail. He then gave me a thorough plan with daily tasks which included creating error logs, concept reviews and practice tests. I took my GMAT again in Feb and eventhough this time I unfortunately didn't do well at Quant, I got a V38. Dhananjay truly prepared me for the test itself not just from concept point of view but also for the test day itself. I realised test readiness is very crucial to excelling on the GMAT.

During my exam too I felt I wasn't perhaps doing as well as I thought because I thought some questions seemed easy but in the end all was well and the key to that was in the prep that Dhananjay put me through.

Although I am not at my ideal score, I know that I am not too far and realise what I could do better. I would also like to add that the E-gmat Quant 2.0 course is absolutely fantastic too. It truly challenges you and prepares you to face the tricky GMAT questions. E-gmat team really supports you every step of the way.

It has been the best decision I made eventhough I wasted a lot of money on another course before learning about E-gmat. Don't think twice before signing up for E-gmat and its mentorship program. You are in good hands!

Saying that signing up for e-GMAT was the best investment decision I had taken in the last year, would be an understatement. I had heard great things about the platform so decided to invest in e-GMAT's online course to get to my target score as quickly as possible. Firstly, I was blown away by the personalised attention I was able to receive on an "Online platform"! My queries on email were resolved within 24 hours and I was provided a well-detailed strategy to get to my target score. Secondly, I did not have to think too much about working with multiple sources and questions since the strategy laid out by the e-GMAT team and the scholaranium platform's ability to diagnose one's weaknesses to the dot is unparalleled. This saved me several hundred hours of my time which I would have otherwise spent refining areas which would not have impacted me much. Finally, I would like to thank Rajat and the entire e-GMAT team for being personally invested in the success of the users on the platform and going beyond their duties to provide an amazing experience to them. This is something I cannot imagine any other platform every providing. If you wish to score well on the GMAT on the first attempt, do not think twice- e-GMAT is the way to go!!

I had a 710 gmat score and i wanted to improve my score, so i signed up for egmat since it is marketed as the best online gmat course on gmatclub.

Below are my reviews on each section of the Egmat course.

Sentence Correction: I would rate it as average since there isn't anything extraordinary thing in this section.

Critical reasoning: Average

RC: Poor. There are just few videos and RC passages in the course.

Quant: It is just a waste of time and money. If you follow the strategy that is taught in the course, you will be unable to solve any question on the test day in under 2 mins.

After studying for approx 5 months from egmat, I scored 700 that is 10 points less than my earlier attempt.

The best part of Egmat is its marketing team. Hats off to them. Other prep companies must learn from Egmat's marketing team.

At the time of sign up, Egmat team might offer you a discount of 50% on official mocks, but later they wouldn't hold onto that commitment.

When I decided to take on the GMAT, I knew nothing about GMAT Club or eGMAT. Most of my preparation was pretty much self-learning from the preparatory book I bought. I was not aware of many things such as the other methods of learning (if you are reading this review, that means you are aware of GMAT Club and eGMAT, that’s definitely a plus!), what scholarship scores looked like, what a Q** or V** actually meant for the overall score etc.

A few weeks after my speculative test (660; Q47, V34), I came across the GMAT Club (euraka moment) and discovered different ways of solving questions, learned what a >700 score looked like etc. About 4 weeks after discovering the GMAT Club world, I did the exam and had a 690 (Q47, V39). Because of other personal plans, I literally had 4-5 weeks to either do another test or stick to the 690 score. I had to do something different if I planned another test.

One day, I randomly saw a note about the free weekend eGMAT classes (another euraka moment) and attended a few of these. Then, I contacted eGMAT (spoke to Dhruv and then Dhananjay), and the hospitality was amazing. On my call with Dhananjay (DJ), I told him about my history with GMAT and my plans to take another test within 5 weeks of meeting him. DJ was very responsive and told me that my target score at the time (720) was achievable within that 4/5-week period if I diligently followed a personalized study plan which he sent to me. We also spoke about what I needed to do specifically in Quant and Verbal to achieve a 720 score, and in fact, what I needed to do in each sub-section of both sections to achieve that score. For the first time in my GMAT process, I had a tutor.

During this period, I was in constant communication with DJ, and 7 days leading to the test, we had another frank status conversation. At this point, he created a 7-day plan for me, and I was required to provide daily updates leading to the exam which I did. At this point, I had completely forgotten that I wanted a 720 score because I was aiming for much higher based on the progress made so far (my latest mock exam scores were between 710 and 760). So, I wrote the actual exam and had a 720 (Q49, V39) thankfully. I had mixed feelings though (I felt l could have done better, then I also realized I had made good progress over a short period).

My takeaway is that the tutorship/mentorship process worked a lot for me. I made more progress in few weeks of this than in a few months of self-learning. The eGMAT portal is as diagnostic as it gets, and DJ was quite helpful in detailing what to exactly focus on. I asked myself ‘what if I had started this way a lot earlier?’. So again, if you are reading this at the beginning of your GMAT journey, you are in a very good space, trust me. I’ll recommend eGMAT for anyone who’s willing to put it in the effort to achieve his or her target scores.

I started my GMAT Prep early in Jan of 2020, I used to solve some questions here and there from the OG textbooks. After understanding the whole structure of GMAT and getting a 630 on a baseline mock test, I decided to look for a verbal course to help me do better on Verbal.
After a week of research on GMATClub and just general google searches, I decided to take a chance with the eGMAT free trial mainly due to 2 reasons; their GMAT Online package of Quant + Verbal was reasonably priced in comparison to other offerings on the market and they had the most number of reviews on GMATClub, that too highly rated.
Within 2 days of starting the 7 day free trial, I was able to understand the value of the course. Not only was I learning new concepts in the Verbal section, I was learning new strategies and new ways to tackle Quant questions. This was eye opening and convinced me to take the full GMAT online course instead of just the Verbal.
That was a great decision in hindsight since I enjoyed the Quant portion thoroughly and enjoyed learning new topics and getting challenged by the hard scholaranium questions. e-GMAT also helped me approach Verbal section with much more strategy and meaning based approach. Instead of just choosing the answer that sounds right, I was follwing the 3 step process, and pre thinking to get to the right answers.
After finishing all the concepts I was able to judge my ability by taking ability quizzes on the scholaranium platform and also pinpoint my weaker areas with the quality analytics that the scholaranium platform provides.
When I was done with all the concepts I used the Sigma-Mocks to test my preparation and was able to practice with real questions like the GMAT with the adaptive nature of the mocks. I ended up scoring the same on the GMAT as I did on my best mock - so it is pretty relaible.

I would thank the e-GMAT team for making a great product, that I was able to use at any time I needed, and setting up great modules and lectures for test takers. A big part of my 90 point increase in 3 months is thanks to e-GMAT. I recommend it to everyone.

E-gmat is a good platform for improving your GMAT scores. I had taken the verbal online course. Its a comprehensive course. I found the Sentence correction and reading comprehension courses the most helpful. Scholaranium is also a very good platform to improve your timing as well as the accuracy. The e-gmat support team is also quite helpful. I scored a 35 in the final verbal test with a total score a 700. I believe I underscored a bit (probably because of the anxiety). I believe egmat prepares you to score well in verbal which can help you cross the magic mark of 700!
