I feel quite happy to write on this forum about my GMAT Journey, which I started in the beginning of 2017. Coming from an engineering background, I was good at quant; However, Verbal remained my Achilles' heel, and I could only reach V29 in my five attempts that I took from 2017 to 2018. With the breakout of Covid-19 in March 2020, I finally decided to give one last shot to GMAT, and this time, I chose e-GMAT for its structured methodology towards acing the GMAT exam.
After a few weeks of enrolling on the e-GMAT platform, I received an email that offered free mentorship for a selected few. My cohort of around 15 people was mentored by Dhananjay(DJ). Not only was DJ able to identify my weak areas but also provided weekly milestones that helped me improve the score linearly as I progressed through the milestones. As an example, For Reading Comprehension, I discussed the articles from 'The Economist' directly with DJ, and he asked me questions that helped me critically evaluate the passages as we read. This process helped me build stamina to read larger passages, and I also reduced my time from over 6 minutes to 3 minutes per passage.
Furthermore, I used to spend more than 2 minutes on almost every Verbal question before I enrolled with e-GMAT, however at the end of 4 months with e-GMAT, my average attempt time was 80 Sec for SC, 105 Sec for CR, and about 110 Sec for RC.
In the three months of my GMAT journey, not only DJ pushed me to do more but also motivated me to put in more effort to realize the dream score. I can also vouch for the e-GMAT platform because I have closely observed how e-GMAT selects its employees. I scored 710 in GMAT, and I can't thank enough to DJ and e-GMAT team enough for helping me reach the desired score.
I might be a user of the e -gmat portal for the longest time so you can believe me when i tell you- GO FOR IT!.Their best feature that helped me the most is their doubt forum- it has so many already solved doubts that it'll only help you learn more.Go through the already solved doubts of a tough question and you will see 30 different approaches and why the provided solution is the best one.Now imagine the amount of knowledge you can gain by just scrolling through the doubts.
Their courses need no introduction, their verbal and quant will prepare you for everything that will be thrown at you during test day, the scholaranium will help you improve your accuracy and the sigma x mocks will help you fine tune your strategy for D-day.I wish they had more mocks.Their support has always solved my doubts within a day,
If you need help ,email them, they WILL help you in any way they can.Ill highly recommend them for any serious aspirant.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I enrolled with e-Gmat for their GMAT Online Program a month before my test date. Even though I was scoring 750+ consistently on the Sigma-X and GmatPrep mocks a week before my appointment date, I could only manage a 700 on my first attempt.
I believed that this score wasn't a representation of my true abilities and so I decided to retake the test. Under e-Gmat's retake mentorship program, I got in touch with Dhananjay sir who was prompt in pointing out the fallacies in my exam-taking strategy. Analyzing my performance in e-Gmat's Sigma-X mocks, he pinpointed multiple intricacies that I never could've imagined would impact my score and following his 15-day study plan, I effectively overcame those shortcomings, ultimately scored 70 points higher. As students, our basic tendency is to step up the efforts we put in as the exam date gets closer and I succumbed to this tendency, over-spending myself in the last week. Had DJ sir not guided me against this and countless such blunders, my second attempt would have been the replay of my first one. Following Dj's hyper-specific study plan got me to my target score and a step closer to my dream B-School. I would highly recommend e-Gmat's mentorship program to anyone planning to take the GMAT. The course content is relevant and precise, the question bank (Scholaranium) is laden with analytical tools yielding meaningful insights and the mentors know just the trick to get you to your target score.
I purchased eGMAT in July 2019, but hardly ever used it. When it almost expired, I looked at it and fell in love instantly. Used it for several months but without a focus that GMAT prep generally requires. I was extending this course more and more. Honestly speaking, I used eGMAT for two-three months, very intensively. I was taking notes off its videos, practicing questions, etc. Let me tell you why I think it's the wisest investment:
1. It is very flexible - you can basically study whenever you want, wherever you want; it has a great study planner and progress tracker. Videos are bite sized and each video comes with a great summary slide with a recap of the whole lesson.
2. It focuses on making sure you understand the concept solidly. After each lesson, you take application quiz to test yourself whether you are able to apply concepts to real questions. It advises you to go back and study harder if you don't pass the predetermined benchmark.
3. It has a practice platform called Scholaranium, which has different types of quizzes and tests. It is so customizable as to allow you to pick number of questions, level, topics, etc. And most importantly, it gives you great and logical explanations to each question and answer choices. Another great feature of it is that you can practice OG questions in Scholaranium. OG provides notoriously short official explanations, and Scholaranium fixes it by giving you their experts' explanations to those answer choices. If you are stuck, there is a forum to each question, where you can post your query.
Overall, amazing investment, a very high ROI - Total score of 730 (Q49, V40).
After giving multiple attempts of GMAT and seeing no significant improvement in score, I turned to e-gmat's Verbal Online course as I was performing comparatively poorly in Verbal (V37/Q48). I reached out to e-gmat staff members for help navigating through the vast course material and in turn received prompt support from Dhananjay (DJ). DJ scheduled zoom sessions and walked me through ESR's of my last few attempts, identifying a pattern in the way I have been answering verbal questions and why I failed in my previous attempts. DJ drafted a week's worth of plan of attack which helped me identify my weaknesses via diagnostic tests. This intervention was very helpful as I assumed I was plateauing in GMAT because of multiple unknown issues.
I was scoring around 630 with verbal somewhere around 30s and decided to take up e-gmat verbal online first around April. The meaning based approach for the SCs was a game changer. The grammar rules are very clearly explained and the Scholaranium’s archive of questions helped me cover all types of concepts I had struggled with. After that my verbal score improved significantly. I later purchased the quant course too and the tricks for some of the concepts came in really handy. Although i was on and off with the practice due to full time work, the mocks made the final exam super easy. I felt that the quant questions on mock were a little tougher than the ones i received in the final exam but they gave a good practice to all kinds of questions. E-gmat also provides free tests with sites such as gmat club and 800 score, so overall it was a really good platform to get myself accustomed to the testing environment. On top of that, the support team was always quick to respond to the queries posted on the forum, giving clear explanations to the correct approach and faults with other approaches that trick us into wrong answers. Thanks to the-gmat team for their services !
I took the E-GMAT one month prep course and found a marked improvement in my performance. Few of the things that particularly worked for me:
1. The module structure of the course and individual module assessments to Identify your pain points followed by the custom and cementing quizzes to boost your performance on the same topic - be it Quant or Verbal.
2. A Round-the-clock team of coaches and experts who help solve each one of your doubts - right from clarifying your conceptual gaps to potential next steps that you should undertake
3. A dedicated expert (DJ in my case) towards the last 2 weeks of preparation who went through my performance across quizzes and mocks, schedule 1v1 calls for identifying target areas to focus on and periodically checked-in on the improvement. Also provided video analyses of my quizzes and tests, reviewed mocks live with me and gave me some last minute tips and tricks along with D-day routine that helped me improve my score.
All in all, pretty satisfied with the process the team and DJ took me through at quite an affordable price.
P.S - I also got a week's extension at no extra cost - go EGMAT team!
My verbal score was stuck since I was a non-native English speaker and I was not well versed with the rules required to crack SC .
The CR and SC tactics explained in the e-gmat course helped me pass through that hurdle unscathed.
Another struggle that I faced was with RC. I took a lot of time to solve the RC questions. Once I started applying the RC tactics suggested in the e-gmat course, I was seamlessly solving the questions well within a stipulated time limit.
The scholarium was very useful with the cementing quizzes helping me to bolster my concepts
Tl;dr - e-Gmat provides you with ALL the tools necessary to ace the GMAT.
If you're still reading through the reviews of GMAT courses, chances are you are still looking for that "perfect course", the course that will take your GMAT scores through the roof. I'm here to shatter your dreams. There's NO such course.
However, e-GMAT is pretty darn close to that. e-GMAT will provide you with the tools necessary to ace the test.
Out of all the options, WHY would you go for e-Gmat? I'll tell you why you should.
1) Structured Approach - No more ambiguity on how to approach a problem. Whatever the GMAT throws at you, you're equipped with the right approach to tackle it.
2) Discussion forums - Whatever doubts you may have, chances are some of the tens of thousands of other students who went through the same materials might have thought just like you did, too. Their questions (your questions) will be in the discussion forums, which is btw conveniently RIGHT under each question, and the questions are, most of the time, already answered.
3) EXCELLENT Customer Service- Remember that time you wanted to contact the customer service of some company and you had to wait days on end to come to a solution? Well, that won't happen with these guys. They are dang fast.
4) Scholaranium - With these particular tools, you'll be able to focus on the areas that you're weak at. You can figure out where you are going wrong and fix those. What better way to improve yourself?

700 Q49 V37 (Online)
I used egmat 3 times can you believe that?
In 2018, i gave my 1st prep test got 640. Saw the Egmat standard videos claiming x hours into our course gives Y results.
So i believed and took the course. I prepared using the course, didnt finish their scholaranium module. Went through videos once.
So their claim might be true provided those X hours you are extremely focused.
That claim of X hours for Y results is the worst thing that happened to me.
So now why 5/5 review?
Its not the course that changes the trajectory, its YOU.
The course really is best in market, the quality of both verbal and quant is too good. It has everything one needs to cross 700.
For a person who is weak in verbal, this course can help greatly. Provided you understand and listen to whats being told in videos.
There are dozens of techniques in market for verbal, and Egmat techniques are best suited for a non native like me.
Overall, i for quant club tests are GOAT. However the difficulty level of club quant tests is lower than actual tests.
For verbal egmat is a handsdown best course in market. I would still opt for Egmat because i believed in their methods.
I purchased the course in 2018,2019 2020.
Although i wish they gave better deal but thats ok. The journey was worth it.
