I tried E-Gmat Verbal for few months(signed up in July 2019) and I found it be very lacking regards to the content. Also I feel their questions in the Scholaranium to be harder than usual. Overall, I found it very hard to finish their course and I felt that their layout of content to be a bit lacking. My verbal score did not increase even a bit after spending few months with E-gmat Verbal. I feel they do a lot of marketing for their course to gain people but wish they would put more effort towards the course. I also got a lot of their promotional emails which can get quite annoying and had to unsubscribe eventually. Their money back guarantee is also bogus I feel.

Hi, my name is Gary. I am 25 years old and I have 3 years working experience in a retail company in Indonesia as a Business Analyst. First time I studied GMAT was in September 2019. I studied hard by myself through free resources for 4 months until I took my first GMAT test in December 2019, scoring 550 (Q42,V24). This score was not enough for me to apply to any business schools I want. After that, I studied for TOEFL and got a good score in January 2020. In February 2020, I decided to deal with GMAT again but with a different strategy. I searched for the best online preparation platform in the internet and I chose e-gmat and here was the beginning of my journey.

The most astonishing part of e-gmat platform was the step-by-step approach strategy to finish a question. I realized that the failure of my previous test was due to lack of strategical approach to answer the questions. I only used brute force and pure logical thinking to answer each question. GMAT will give you a hard time if you just using pure logic to answer the questions. Yes it is true that what is tested in GMAT is our logic, but with a right method, we can answer many more questions with much higher accuracy. The strategies taught by e-gmat was easy to understand and applicable in each question, and was served in an interactive videos. We just need to simply follow the sequences given my e-gmat. The team has already designed the courses in the best way a student can learn.

Another highlight features of e-gmat was the Scholaranium, Mock Test, and Course Correction. The Scholaranium helps the students to cement the methods learned, thus we can practice our newly learned process in this bank of questions. We can track our progress, determine our strong and weak areas, and review each questions with complete explanations. After we finish practicing in Scholaranium, we can move to Mock Test, a simulation of the real GMAT Test. In this part, we can get the summary of our performances, which is very important for our evaluation and track record to reach the target score. Lastly, the free course correction by Mr. Deepak was so beneficial for me. He helped me to analyze my Mock Test, determined my weak areas, and gave me the solutions step by step for me to follow.

Actually I want to take GMAT test in late April, but because of Covid-19 situation, I took GMAT on June. I could not take Online GMAT because of technical issues (failed twice). After several months grinding, I finally took my GMAT Test on 10th June 2020 and guess what? I got 660 (Q48, V34)!!!

My weak area is surely Verbal part, and I spend a lot of time refining my Verbal skills in e-gmat. Surely e-gmat has a very great verbal section so that I can improve from V24 to V34. Finally, I want to give my biggest thanks for Mr. Deepak and the rest of e-gmat team because finally I reach my target score.
Good luck to all of you for the GMAT Test!

Overall I found my e-gmat experience really rewarding as I was able to improve my verbal score from V33 to V41 by following their structured approach to each question type on verbal section.
I feel to score good on GMAT, two things are really important – one is to have good fundamental understanding of the concepts and the other is to follow the correct approach. This course is structured in a way which will help you in getting good at both of these aspects. Their focus on approach and fundamentals in every single lesson will help you ingrain it in your mind.
Personally for me the SC was something which I wanted to improve upon as my current approach of splitting options into groups of 2/3 was not panning out. Therefore, I tried out their 3 step approach for SC questions. At the start, it was really difficult to follow this approach. But if you give yourself time, it can do wonders like it did for me and many others.
e-gmat helped me overachieve my target score of 730-740 and get admits from multiple schools. I would 100% recommend this course to everyone who want to improve their verbal score, enabling them to get closer to their MBA dream.

Hi all,
Hope your preparations are going well!

I'll just get straight to the points about how e-GMAT helped me
1. The only problem I had was with verbal. I knew the basics of the language but didn't know the exact rules. Doing this course helped fill those knowledge gaps and make a foundation to work upon. This was important when I was down to 2-3 choices and I needed a concrete rule to decide the answer
2. For practice, I used to take pictures of the summary slides and the practice problem that I got wrong. I used to go through these pictures anytime I was free. While revising I used the remember where I went wrong. Since I have the habit of forgetting small rules and points, this practice style helped a lot.
3. Scholaranium really helped to gauge my levels of understanding of different sections. The easy/medium/hard selection for "cementing quiz" is a great way to do this.


4. Having a strong quant background, I didn't use the quant section, so I can't say anything about that. But judging from how well they've made the verbal section, I'd bet the quant section is awesome as well.
5. This might be irrelevant now given that GMAT online has allowed scratchpad - if you plan on using the whiteboard feature, I would advise practicing for at least a week. You can also use the whiteboard to cover the answers before you're done with your pre-thinking (e-GMAT).
6. GMAT online is not as scary as some people think. It went very smoothly. The comfort of the home gives an edge to the test taker. Be prepared for some glitches(in my case the exam window closed for 2-3 minutes before coming back on. NO, O DIDN'T LOSE ANY TIME. IT WAS RESUMED ON THE POINT THE WINDOW GOT CLOSED).
7. I wasn't able to take mock tests after completing the course due to time constraints (i finished my course 4 days before the exam. I used cementing quizzes to target my areas of weakness.) But I did use them 2 times before the course and they are pretty accurate. The analytics also help to understand where exactly is your weakness.

General advice-
a. try to complete the course learning at least 2 weeks before your test date. Give yourself 1 week to work on cementing quizzes then another week for the mocks.
b. BE CONSISTENT. e-GMAT provides a perfect tool for creating a plan for your target score. STICK TO THAT PLAN. If you are ahead of schedule go ahead and do some extra work. Better to have some extra time in the end. Keep in mind that while making the plan exclude the 2 weeks mentioned in the last point for self-testing.

Finally, I would say that GMAT is hard when you don't approach it with a proper strategy. With proper knowledge and practice, good scores are easily achievable.

Good luck with your upcoming exams!
I hope you all achieve high scores!!

I decided to take GMAT in December 2019 and took a few mocks to gauge my initial level. I scored about 730-740 in most of these but wasn’t really sure about my strengths and weaknesses. Targeting a 750+, I researched about GMAT prep and signed up for e-GMAT. I didn’t use a lot of their course material so I would keep my review limited to their Exam Prep : Scholaranium and list out some tips to use its complete potential.

During the initial days, I had this strong urge to take a lot of practice quizzes (I hear it’s pretty common). However, Payal’s pre-recorded videos were very helpful in planning my schedule. She has created a set of videos which will cater to test takers at different levels of preparedness. And are quite insightful, if one takes the time to review them.

Now about Scholaranium : It essentially is a cluster of questions and tests meant to seal concepts and give a ‘GMAT-like’ experience. It’s important to use the tool while referring to Payal’s videos otherwise one wouldn’t get much out of the preparation. There are ample amount of questions of all possible difficulty levels and e-GMAT helps you set target score thresholds for each. This helps bring about a smooth progress while you seal your 1) concepts and 2) test taking strategy.

Finally, about my actual GMAT experience. In my first attempt I scored a 730 which was an improvement of 0 points from my first e-gmat mock. I would have settled for the score but figured I needed to up it a few notches. It was then that I met Rajat online and his two cents pushed me to re-take in 2 weeks and I ended up with a 760. Rajat has a good amount of experience in test prep and for once I trusted him and took a blind plunge with just about a week of refining my test taking strategy.

Overall, e-GMAT is a holistic support system for test takers if they follow the model with discipline. They have a responsive support group too that folks should leverage more to their benefit.

After spending sometime learning via books such as Manhattan Prep, my score didn't increase in verbal. I didn't understand why that is the case although I learned all the grammatical rules.

I had doubt about enrolling at first as I didn't want to waste time given that the applications are coming close.

I took the leap and it worked! I learned that meaning is very important that grammatical rules (sentences that are grammatically correct can be wrong as the meaning doesn't make sense).

I didn't have enough time to study reading comprehension and critical reasoning as my exam date was in 1-2 weeks.

Prior to egmat, I was somewhat guessing between the remaining 2-3 choices in a question in sentence correction. By end of the course (and with good effort from my side), I aced the GMAT's SC part (I applied for detailed report from GMAT website to view this).

I wish that egmat can grant longer durations instead of the 6 months (but the duration is good enough if you work (at a company) for less that 55 hours a week. In my case, the project delivery was coming to an end, and I had to find time to study.

I already recommended my best friends for egmat's online courses. It would be great if they have a referral program!

Thank you egmat and the team,
Definitely worth it

I took egmatcourse in November 2019.
egmat paid special emphasis on my verbal ability, especially sentence correction and critical reasoning questions. they have me an insight into how to actually break down the problem and the importance of eliminating each answer option. further, scholoranium questions really helped me expose my self to trickier, out of the box questions that have really expanded my horizon. Further, it was extremely easy to look at detailed analysis, identify my improvement areas and work on solving problems specific to those areas of development. I also recommended 4 of my friends to subscribe to egmat and they were extremely happy as well.

I took the e-gmat course twice since i was learning slowly.
In my first subscription i opted for Egmat Verbal. The SC portion was really superb. i went to ready each and every element & make a thorough note of the same. The concept quiz & practice quiz really helped solidify my learning. Adding to that the scholarium was as add on.
THe CR portion i found not that great. Frankly speaking, i would prefer CR Bible over Egmat CR, though for beginners the egmat Cr is good.
Quant section: i was already comfortable with this section, so when i received the full egmat subscription as a prize for Game of timers competition of gmat club, i practiced some quant questions as those were also good.

I stumbled upon eGMAT while looking for some strategies from previous test takers to boost your GMAT score. I was overwhelmed by the amazing things eGMAT students had to say about the course and how it helped them structure their GMAT preparation. This really resonated with me since I was struggling with keeping a clear track of my preparation. I decided to attend an eGMAT webinar on pre-thinking for CR and that's when I knew that I was going to enroll into their course.

At first, I bought the Verbal online package and absolutely loved the focus on the basics. It's funny how much you can forget what you've learned in school and that became quite evident when I started the verbal course. What I found to be particularly useful was the blend of concept and strategy that eGMAT offered. I feel that very few, if any, GMAT prep companies offer this and thanks to eGMAT's pedagogy these strategies become second nature.

eGMAT's program definitely requires patience and though there were times I didn't understand why things were explained in such a detailed manner, it was essential to internalize the concepts and strategies.

Lastly, I feel that the eGMAT Quant prep is highly underrated. I never felt challenged by GMAT Quant but never managed to get to a Q50. It was only after going through Quant part of eGMAT that I managed to hit Q50 (despite the online whiteboard) so I definitely recommend not skipping the Quant section unless you are a math genius.

My experience with e-gmat verbal was good. It was very comprehensive.

The videos were really interactive and the practice just after the concept explanation was helpful.

It focused on understanding the meaning rather than look for what was wrong immediately. The process of steps to check what is wrong for sentence correction, was very useful.
It helped for other sections too.

The solution explanations for OG questions was really good and strengthened my understanding.

The scholaranium provided extensive practice and helped in identifying my weak areas so that I could focus on those better.

Overall, it provided good practice and improved my understanding.
