Strengths:

Focus on building core concepts and methodology which helped in improving accuracy of the answers.
The cementing sections helped to further enhance and solidify the concepts.
The mentoring support is wonderful, which was provided to me voluntarily looking at my weak cementing scores. The additional recorded sections to watch are curated individually looking at the weakness of the student

Would make the product better:

Sometimes in the mentoring feedback, they ask to go through the complete concept files which are time taking and sometimes un-necessary, as the level of questions in the cementing and concepts is very different and will not address the weakness in difficult questions.

The number of mock test available are very few.

Hi All,
I had subscribed to the E-Gmat course after taking trying out their trial which I felt was very interactive and focused on building the focus on improving core-skills rather than just practice a number of questions. I’m happy with the support provided by E-Gmat which helped me improve my score by about 100 points in 2 months.
I believe if I had time for preparation for 1 more month, with the assistance of E-Gmat, I could have scored much higher, as I couldn’t try to optimise my test taking strategy and cementing for Quant and DI section.
I had started the E-GMAT subscription after observing no much improvement in score trying one month of self-preparation with the OG material. I had realised that Verbal is the weakest section that I had to work on, and decided to spend maximum time for it.
The E-Gmat for approach Verbal section was very different from what I used to follow and had largely improved my accuracy. What I loved about the course is, they not only explain the process, but make us try to inculcate them as our behaviour through their practice and application files. If we can apply them, be assured that your accuracy will improve. Inculcating this new behaviour had initially affected my speed, but eventually practice was able to pick up.
Their cementing sessions are quite challenging, but also help us asses with our speed. What I liked about E-GMAT was, I had tried 2 cementing steps but failed. I didn’t know what to do, and had requested for strategic support to E-GMAT. They had assigned me with a mentor, who had guided me and provided me with additional plans and material to ensure that I was able to apply the suggested method to solve in given time. Frankly, it took a lot more time than what I expected, which made me restless, but now that I see, I feel they were worth investing time in.
The Quant section consisted of concept and process building sections. The PACE features gives us diagnostic test to check our and suggests to skip the concept files which we are strong. This helps us save lot of time, and I suggest that they have to extend this service to the DI as well.
Though I couldn’t complete the cementing phase in EGMAT, the constant traps laid out in the process file helped me be very alert in the GMAT Exam.
The skills which I developed in Verbal and Quant(like approximation) helped me develop the required skill for DI. However, I suggest those taking the package to go through the DI module as well.
In general, I feel the E-GMAT course is for those who believes that they need to build the core skills and are ready to invest 3 months of time.
It’ll be difficult for someone whos targeting high score within one month as skill developing takes time. If someone has good conceptual understanding and looking for only cementing and test taking strategy, I believe, they can complete within one month.
And don’t shy away to ask for mentorship, they have good mentors who can monitor your progress and help you improve your score. One more suggestion I would like to give the EGMAT team is that to increase the number of Sigma Mock tests for the GMAT Focus edition. As of now, only 3 are available, of which most of them consume the first one before the subscription of the program

PACE style optimization for Verbal section

A note before I start my review-
I followed the e-gmat plan exactly how the team guided me. I struggle with certain test taking anxiety but I have a decent score now to apply to the B-schools of my choice. Although, I believe that I am capable of 20 more points in overall score but because of shortage of time, I am applying with my current score.

E-gmat’s master comprehension course helped in building a strong foundation for verbal. All the modules are detailed. Initially, I felt that cementing quizzes were unnecessarily slowing down my progress, but I instead focused on trusting the process, which helped me in the long run. The cementing quizzes did bring out all the fallacies I had and helped me to rectify them. In hindsight, I am happy that I endured the pain during that stage. I felt that I improved immensely in reading comprehension because of e-gmat. Usually, people think that RC is the most time-consuming, but if it is done as per how e-gmat teaches then I feel RC becomes a strength and helps with time during the test. P.S. the verbal techniques and strategies also helped me immensely while writing essays for my applications.
In Quant, I was strong when I started. Though, the course helped me mainly in Word Problems section. PACE helped me to move along the Quant course and cementing quickly.
Having individually prepared for all sub-modules and test readiness quizzes, I attempted my mocks. I realized that I falter when I apply all the learnings together. Rida and the strategy expert team helped me by designing focused practice plan and that improved my score. I also learned a lot from the already answered queries for some questions by the subject matter experts. These queries helped me a lot during my last stage of the preparation to iron out any doubts I had.
I benefited from the coffee sessions by Rajat and Payal. They showed the growth stats which helped me mentally, bolstering my understanding that my progress and potential are in place. All that was needed was to calmly sail through the exam. I am happy that I signed up with e-gmat for my gmat preparation.

Hi Everyone!
In my 2nd attempt of GMAT, I scored 690, a 90 point improvement from my 1st attempt which was based mainly on self-preparation. After my 1st attempt, I realised the need for a more structured way of preparation which is when I came across the e-GMAT free trial. I really loved the way their course was designed and immediately signed up for the Online focused prep. A detailed review of each section -

Quant - Since I was familiar with the basic concepts of quant, the PACE time saving method was really effective in helping me identify the basic modules that I could skip. The concept + test based method of preparation actually instilled confidence after every topic. The questions from e-GMAT might seem more difficult than those from the official guide, however, one should solve these questions as it thoroughly clears your basic concepts and improves your speed drastically. However, "Word Problems" was the only section where I felt that the solutions were extremely lengthy and this approach could not be practically used in the exam.

Verbal - The meaning based approach for SC and pre-thinking approach for CR were a game changer. I initially took some time to get comfortable with these methods, which late on fared me well. Plus, the cementing quiz after each section gave a fair picture of my time bound performance and the extra-efforts that I needed to put to ace the topics. Also, the last mile program with a dedicated mentor helped me understand my weaknesses at a granular level and build strategies around them.

Lastly, I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly impressive. The Sigma-X mocks were very much in line with the kind of/level of questions one might encounter in the exam. The mocks actually helped me hone my time management skills, and fine-tune my strategies around each question type.

All the best to everyone!

My experience with e-gmat was good for the most part.
I personally had great potential, though, untapped, and e-gmat helped me utilise my strengths efficiently and minimise my weaknesses.
My Quant was phenomenal even before, however, the concept files gave a lot of conceptual clarity.
My verbal performance was a zig-zag line, thus, indicating conceptual gaps. I was able to consistently get better and better. Various live sessions and lectures helped a great deal as I was able to progressively identify and correct my mistakes or fill in conceptual gaps.
However, some issues I faced included the selection of the question bank. I found many questions with conflicting and closely related answer choices missing the whole question setting method of GMAT which specifically rejects closely related answer choices.

Hello everyone!
I took the GMAT in July 2023 and scored a 760 (Q49, V44). This was my second attempt and had a 50-point improvement from my previous score of 710 (Q49, V38).

With a strong quantitative background as an engineer, I confidently handled strategies and time management for the quant section. However, the verbal section posed a challenge. Despite grasping grammar concepts for SC and the structure of CR questions, I struggled with accuracy. I was keen on exploring strategies online to improve my accuracy. That's when I discovered the eGMAT workshops before my first attempt. The meaning-based approach (SC) and pre-thinking (CR) strategies stood out as highly beneficial.

Unfortunately, time constraints prevented me from fully implementing these strategies in my initial attempt. So while choosing a new prep material, eGMAT was a no-brainer. Having exhausted the OG guides in my first attempt, I sought a fresh set of questions to refine my strategy. The 2-month GMAT Intensive course not only met but exceeded my expectations, playing a crucial role in my achievement of a 760. The personalized study plan and test analysis with Mansi from eGMAT proved invaluable in structuring my study schedule for the next two months.

I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly noteworthy. The sectional tests, with adjustable topic and difficulty filters, were invaluable for refining my approach to different GMAT question types. Utilizing this option significantly contributed to enhancing both my accuracy and speed, resulting in a notable 6-point improvement in my verbal score
The mock tests accurately simulated the GMAT exam environment, enabling me to hone my time management skills and build confidence. The detailed performance analytics helped me identify areas for further refinement, allowing me to fine-tune my preparation strategy as needed.

Overall, eGMAT’s strategies and question banks proved invaluable in boosting my GMAT score significantly. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a comprehensive and effective GMAT preparation experience.


Here are some tips GMAT prep:

DO NOT BLINDLY SOLVE THE QUESTIONS. A crucial lesson from my experience is that the quantity of questions solved does not necessarily correlate with exam performance. Whether you solve a few or many questions, conduct a thorough analysis of the solutions, regardless of whether you answered correctly. Extracting shortcuts and key insights from these analyses will significantly enhance accuracy and substantially reduce the time needed.

ENSURE THAT YOU PRACTICE YOUR APPROACH/STATEGY TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF QUESTIONS. In the majority of GMAT questions, eliminating 3 out of 5 options is often straightforward. However, when faced with the final two options, selecting the correct one demands the right strategy. Each question type requires a distinct approach, so delve into each category and familiarize yourself with the application of your techniques.


All the best to everyone attempting the exam.

Overall, the use of scholaranium was the most useful for me. That being said, OG questions should be focussed on way more than questions from any test centre. That is something I wish I had realised earlier.
While Egamt drills the basics of all concepts, I felt that relying only on the questions from there could end up hurting you in the long run.
The lectures were all very helpful especially the format of the Quant sections.
I scored 605 on gmat focus on my first attempt, and I will be attempting it again towards the end of this month. Hopefully, I will cross the 645 barrier.
Thank you Egmat for all the help.

Strengths:

no strength crap course and crap support.

Would make the product better:

i dont think they are there to improve only to sell their course is definitely not for someone looking to improve in 1 month.

took a 1 month plan to improve on my Verbal score which was 38 and 35 in my two attempts and after spending 1 month on their portal I got a V31. The portal is good but the support and the course material are not good for someone at 70% in all CR, SC and RC as when you have all three at this level the data fails as it will ask you to do all the course work and that will be impossible to do in 1 month with work commitments.
regarding the support- I am not sure about other companies on how they communicate with their students but E-Gmat only do it via mail and that too is in 24 hrs, which will not work if you have your deadline in just one month.

Would make the product better:

Module files (non-video) could have a tempo option ie 1.5x and 2x to speed up the lessons.

I gave my GMAT FE on the 12th of December 2023, scoring 665 with Q90, V81 & DI 78. I used e-GMAT's course for the exam preparation. I took 2 months to prep for the exam. Some notes on the overall experience:

1. Quant:
I am an engineering undergrad working in finance, so I was confident in my quant skills. However, Hard quant questions can lead to time-drain if you do not know some essential tricks to solve the question faster or eliminate wrong answer choices. So, if you are starting at a higher ability in quant, revising these tricks can increase confidence by improving time management. I referred to e-GMAT's course materials / videos for these and practised some Medium and Hard questions from the OG. Overall in the actual exam, I solved all questions with 7mins to spare. I reviewed all answer choices but was confident in most. Thankfully, I got all the questions correct.

2. Verbal:
I dedicated 50-60% of my prep time to this section. e-GMAT's materials were helpful and their Question Bank (Scholaranium) is quite advanced. I learned techniques like Pre-thinking and honed my skills through their Cementing and Ability quizzes. However, I could not attempt all the questions in the Scholaranium or the OG due to the short 2-month prep time. I made a few consecutive mistakes in the exam which led to an 81/90.

3. Data Insights:
What a tricky section! Not sure if I was a bit exhausted since I came to this section after Q and V or if the section itself was tricky. Anyway, for DI, I had some familiarity with the different question types (TPA, MSR, DS, etc) in the section but struggled a lot with time management. I think I guessed the last 2 questions in the exam. Due to the no-partial-credit nature of the questions, time-drain is common for questions which you know you can get right. e-GMAT has a lot of DI questions in their Scholaranium and the course materials. I took this section up at the end of my prep and kind of hurried through it since I thought Q and V skills were transferrable to this section [not an excuse for the score ;) ].

Strengths:

Establishing a solid groundwork for verbal skills by reinforcing the fundamentals of RC and honing the pre-thinking approach to excel CR.

eGMAT provides a comprehensive GMAT preparation program with excellence in various aspects. In the Quantitative skills domain, the course ensures a thorough understanding of concepts, fostering holistic learning and skill advancement. For those proficient in Quant, P.A.C.E. learning helps pinpoint weaknesses, saving valuable prep time.

In Critical Reasoning, eGMAT employs a pre-thinking approach, serving as an effective strategy that guarantees consistent results by systematically eliminating answer choices. The mentorship support from eGMAT is invaluable during critical moments and proves highly beneficial during revisions. I recommend reaching out to the eGMAT team for mentorship, enhancing the overall learning experience.

A standout feature of eGMAT is its Data Insights (DI) section, marked by in-depth exploration, real-world application, diverse problem sets, and the cultivation of analytical thinking. This specialized focus not only equips you with technical skills but also readies you for handling complex data scenarios in real-world applications. eGMAT's comprehensiveness positions it as a standalone resource, eliminating the need for additional study materials and making it a valuable asset for GMAT preparation.

This resource significantly contributed to enhancing both my Quant and Verbal skills, along with improving my DI scores, ultimately leading to the achievement of a score of 695.

Initially, I tried to prepare by myself, using the official guides and a few popular study guides. But, my preparation was all over the place, and didn't see any improvement in my performance. After a friend's suggestion, I tried the e-GMAT course. The content was organized very well and the exercises before and after each topic were very helpful in assessing whether I understood the topic. The forums cleared most of the doubts and the team was very responsive to emails. The Sigma X mocks helped identify the gaps in my preparation as they come with a lot of analytical data. My mentor Rida was extremely helpful in fine-tuning my study plan and building my confidence. e-GMAT has everything that one would need to excel in GMAT and I confidently recommend it.
