The e-GMAT course is perfect. No suggestions from my side on how to improve it further.

I, a 23-year-old student from Germany, am excited to share my GMAT journey. In the final stage of my test preparation, I enrolled in e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course, which proved to be a game-changer. Upon purchasing the course on May 6, 2023, I acquired two months of access to their extensive resources. With e-GMAT's help, my first attempt score of 620 (Q48, V27) significantly improved to 690 (Q49, V35, AWA 6, IR 5) within just 18 days between attempts. Starting in January with a raw score of 540, I studied intermittently for the GMAT for about 3–4 months, with a one-month gap due to university exams and a critical medical condition. Despite a lack of sleep and test anxiety during my first attempt on May 4, I stayed determined to enhance my verbal skills. By dedicating 9–10 hours daily for around 15 days, I was able to achieve a 690 score. I am immensely grateful to e-GMAT for providing invaluable guidance throughout my preparation. My mentor, Dhruv, guided my efforts in the best direction, allowing me to draw upon the limited time available and maximize my efforts.

I found e-GMAT's meaning-based approach and pre-thinking framework to be particularly valuable in addressing complex Sentence Correction (SC) and Critical Reasoning (CR) questions. Thanks to e-GMAT's guidance, my accuracy in SC improved significantly, and I gained confidence in tackling challenging CR questions. The application files and practice files provided after the concept files were instrumental in helping me apply the appropriate approach to each question type. These resources, among many others, were immensely beneficial in my preparation journey.

The Cementing phase played a pivotal role in my verbal preparation. Solving several cementing quizzes and reviewing my solutions in depth allowed me to internalize problem-solving approaches effectively. The invaluable insights I gained about my strengths and weaknesses in specific sections allowed me to refine my study plan and seize the "low-hanging fruits`". At the same time, I efficiently allocated enough mental energy towards enhancing other areas.
I must stress the immense influence of my dedicated mentor, Dhruv, who has been with me since day one. In the beginning, Dhruv crafted a personalized study plan designed to optimize my progress within the limited 18-day timeframe. Recognizing both the time constraints and my abilities, Dhruv meticulously devised study plans for each of the three verbal sections and adapted them according to my requirements. Thanks to Dhruv's guidance, I was able to effectively maximize my learning outcomes.

For aspiring GMAT test-takers, I would like to share a few tips based on my personal experience. Firstly, establish a consistent study routine and adhere to it diligently. Recognize the immense value of consistency in internalizing the various approaches to the GMAT's diverse question types. Secondly, engage in regular practice using trustworthy resources like e-GMAT's Scholaranium, focusing on quality rather than quantity. Particularly in the verbal section, understanding why incorrect answers are wrong and why the correct ones are right is crucial. Hence, it is pivotal to review and analyse not only the incorrect questions but also those that took longer to answer or required guessing. Finally, implement the e-GMAT's meaning-based approach and pre-thinking framework, as they can substantially improve your accuracy and, over time, speed, and adhere to the e-GMAT’s 3-step process — Concept files, Cementing, and Test-readiness — a sound and reliable process that aids you in mastering the underlying abilities required for scoring well in the GMAT.

To sum up, e-GMAT’s online 360 course provided me with a unique learning experience. Through their 3-step process, comprehensive study materials, and invaluable mentorship from Dhruv, I was able to achieve my target score within a remarkably short timeframe. The meaning-based approach and pre-thinking framework were instrumental in helping me improve my accuracy. Moreover, the invaluable insights provided by Scholaranium analytics and personalized mentoring from Dhruv accelerated my progress substantially. I highly recommend e-GMAT to GMAT aspirants seeking a comprehensive and tailored learning path to reach their target scores.

Strengths:

Verbal: Meaning based approach is exceptionally good. This approach strengthens your basics and is not only useful for SC but also useful for the entire Verbal section

I would love to see a few more of those sigma X mocks - In my case at least, the mocks were very close indicators of my actual performance on the D-day!

My GMAT journey started about 10 months ago when I decided to take a shot. I gave my first paper in the month of Aug-22 and scored a 640. I had underestimated the test and quickly decided to research online and heard about E-GMAT from a friend. I took the course in Sep-22.
Somehow my preparation was half hearted and when I gave my second attempt in Nov-22, I scored a 640 again.
I decided to take a break for a month and go through each and every section of Verbal and Quant on E-GMAT platform thoroughly. But alas, when I gave a Sigma X mock test in Mar-23, I scored a 640!
My heart sunk into dejection and I didn't know how to approach the test - That is when I connected with a mentor, Akash, from E-GMAT.
The reason I wanted to share a quick summary of my journey before sharing a review is that, GMAT is a test of many aspects - Perseverance, Time management, concepts, practice... I think E-GMAT approaches the test in a holistic manner as it should, and helps you improve.
It has a very thoughtful concept learning platform and utilizes data in a very efficient manner. For example, E-GMAT uses something called a cementing technique – You go through their courses, cement that particular section using their cementing quizzes and then move onto the next section. You can keep solving a few questions once in every 3-4 days so that you don’t lose touch.
Their Sigma X mocks are quite accurate in judging your ability – I’d suggest aspirants don’t waste them!
And of course there’s this unique mentor support! – You get assigned a mentor who’ll check on your progress and also suggest improvement plans.
Coming back to my story, Akash gave me a study plan which I followed rigorously, and in about a month and a half, I could feel the difference in my ability. I was able to identify the incorrect options more confidently and I was also able to manage my time better...
I finally gave my GMAT on the 28th of Apr-23 and scored a 710 (V37 Q49). I think E-GMAT not only helped me with the concepts but also with the motivation levels (Trust me, this is very important). The process may seem cumbersome at the beginning but it will definitely yield results once you get enough practice.
I'm giving another attempt to get to that 750+ level and I'm sure E-GMAT will play a big part in this Journey of mine as well!
Kudos to the team for creating a well-crafted study platform and an ethos of learning!
Cheers!

My journey with the GMAT took a unique path compared to other applicants. Over a year ago, I attempted to conquer the GMAT in just two weeks with the help of E-GMAT. However, this approach proved to be ineffective, resulting in a disappointing score of 620 (Q48, V27). It became apparent to me that I had underestimated the complexity of the exam.

One year later, when I made the decision to apply to business school, I approached the GMAT differently. This time, I dedicated myself to preparing for the exam with E-GMAT, adopting a more diligent and structured approach. This decision turned out to be a game-changer. After approximately three months of studying around 20 hours per week, I was able to significantly improve my score to a commendable 710 (Q49, V39)!

There were three standout aspects of E-GMAT that played a crucial role in my preparation:

- Personalized Approach: E-GMAT's personalized approach was instrumental in my success. They recognized my strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to save time and effort by focusing on the areas that needed the most improvement.

- Mentorship: E-GMAT's mentors were invaluable as my guiding lights. Not only were they subject matter experts, but they also provided unwavering support and motivation throughout my journey. Their personalized feedback and guidance kept me on track and instilled a healthy sense of pressure, ensuring that I reached my target score within the estimated time frame.

- Sigma X Mocks: The mock exams provided by E-GMAT closely resembled the real GMAT. Practicing with these mocks and thoroughly analyzing them proved to be immensely beneficial in pushing my score beyond the coveted 700 threshold.

In conclusion, I highly recommend E-GMAT to any aspiring GMAT test-taker. It is the most effective and time-efficient way to prepare for the exam. However, it is essential not to underestimate the dedication and effort the GMAT demands, as I did in my first attempt. By embracing E-GMAT's structured approach and combining it with determination, you can pave the path to success.

Quant section is very lengthy.

I started my GMAT preparation in January, but it wasn't until mid-March that I truly committed to serious studying. With my test scheduled for May 3rd, I knew I had limited time to make significant improvements. Thankfully, I discovered e-GMAT and their exceptional team, which played a crucial role in my success. I want to give credit to e-GMAT for helping me achieve a remarkable score improvement of 220 points, from my initial mock test to my final GMAT score of 700.

As a first-time test-taker with no prior experience in entrance exams, e-GMAT proved to be an invaluable resource. The verbal content they offer stands out as the best available on the internet. Their approach, focusing on meaning-based strategies for Sentence Correction (SC) and effective strategies for Critical Reasoning (CR), is unique and highly effective. The clear and structured flow of their course made it easy for me to follow along and stay on track. One particular game-changer was their error log analysis, followed by the process of cementing the concepts, which truly solidified my understanding of the material.

While I wish I had more time to devote to the quant section, I was only able to partially cover the content due to time constraints. Consequently, my final score reflected my relative strengths, with a strong performance in verbal and an average score in quant.

Beyond their comprehensive content, what impressed me most about e-GMAT was the personalized attention they provided to every student. GMAT preparation can be mentally exhausting, and there are times when you need someone to give you a push. I experienced a period of extreme demotivation and confusion during my preparation. In a moment of desperation, I decided to reach out to the e-GMAT team via email. To my surprise, within a few hours, I received a response with a personalized plan and motivating words that cleared all my confusion and served as a turning point in my preparation. The team encouraged me to follow up once I had completed the suggested plan, emphasizing their commitment to individual student progress. I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT to anyone planning to take the GMAT. Don't hesitate to reach out for support and guidance, as it will undoubtedly add value to your preparation.

One piece of advice I would offer to those with no experience in entrance tests is to allocate sufficient time for preparation. Rushing through the process with the pressure of limited time can be your worst enemy. Additionally, be aware that the test-taking conditions on the actual exam day can differ significantly from the mocks you take at home. Prepare yourself to tackle the exam in environments with small elements of noise and distractions, allowing you to maintain focus and perform at your best.

My GMAT journey began when I took my first mock test at mba.com in September 2021 and scored 500 (Q42; V14). I was overwhelmed by the Verbal Section of the exam. For the next few months, I was improving my general English skills by preparing for TOEFL, and at the same time, reading a lot of scientific articles and enhancing my vocabulary.

On 30 April 2022, based on positive reviews, I decided to purchase GMAT 360 subscription. The feature of the course that I liked the most was profoundly deep explanations for every concept that enabled me to understand as many details as possible. Moreover, e-GMAT experts always responded to my questions within a day. Scholaranium is a great tool to practice by creating question sets. When I finished learning concepts and practicing them, I was contacted by Rida, Senior Consultant at e-GMAT, who designed a review strategy for me to get ready for the test. After reviewing, I took three mocks and scored 750, 730, 760.

On 29 April 2022, I took my final exam – and scored 760! So, I improved my quant score by 8 points and my verbal – by 28 points. For sure, I couldn’t imagine such a strong improvement when I started my GMAT preparation, but hard work and dedication led me to decent results.

I wanted to say a big thank you to the e-GMAT team and especially to Rida for guiding me!

Strengths:

Very detailed SC and Quant.

Would make the product better:

CR.

The couse has very detailed SC and Quant. They both helped me iron out few key areas and cleared my confusion about certain concepts. It solidified my learnings and gave me confidence.
The most beneficial area, as per me, is the egmat mentor, who guided me along the way with systematic plans and metrics to achieve. Sometimes it was tough to achieve the metrics. But it meant that i needed to work on that topic. But, whenever i achieved the prescribed metrics on 2 or more quizzes, it meant i have achieved sufficient competency in the topic. All of this helped me achieve the increased score.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for creating such an outstanding GMAT course tailored specifically for non-native speakers. As an engineer, I had previously neglected my quant skills and focused primarily on the verbal section. However, after taking E-GMAT, I can confidently say that this course is the gold standard for GMAT preparation.

The sentence correction section in particular stands out as the most exceptional I have come across. I have tried various sources, but none can compare to the quality and depth of E-GMAT's solutions. The detailed explanations are approximately 13 minutes long and allow students to thoroughly comprehend each question. Additionally, the forum review component adds another layer of learning, enabling students to view questions from multiple perspectives and identify mistakes they may have missed. The prompt response by the mentors is another significant advantage of E-GMAT.

The scholaranium section is where the true value of this course is revealed. It helps students identify their weaknesses and provides insights on the aspects they need to improve on. Sometimes we misinterpret our weaknesses due to time constraints, but the medium and hard cementing quizzes in scholaranium provide an excellent opportunity for students to challenge themselves and fine-tune their skills.

I wholeheartedly recommend E-GMAT to anyone looking to excel on the GMAT. The course and mock tests are on par with the actual GMAT, and the benefits are immeasurable. Thank you for creating such an outstanding resource!

Strengths:

The verbal course is really great and comprehensive. The course is very interactive with the pre-quiz to gauge your current knowledge on the topic and then the lesson followed by the post-quiz. The PACE AI was really helpful for quants as it allowed me to skip lessons in which we already have a good hold. Scholaranium was great for practice and the level of questions in it and the Sigma-X mocks were representative of the actual GMAT. The analytics was really insightful and allowed me to target my weaknesses and focus on what’s important.

I started my GMAT preparation in the first week of August 2022 and soon realized that there was just too much information available on the internet. I needed a structured course and purchased the e-GMAT course on a friend’s recommendation. As I had my GMAT scheduled in mid-October, I quickly went through the course without really going according to the plan. I scored 630 (V31, Q45). I knew I could score better so after returning dejected from the test centre I decided to mail the e-GMAT team. They were really quick to respond and Dhruv was assigned as my mentor. He went through my ESR and laid out a detailed step-by-step improvement plan starting with SC. The meaning-based approach helped a lot here. I was also told to make an error log which also helped me track my mistakes and understand the pattern of mistakes I was making. After I was done with my SC improvement, I was given another detailed plan for CR. Pre-thinking was a game changer in CR as it gave me a direction on how to go about answering CR problems. I was able to solve hard questions with ease with the help of the pre-thinking technique. After CR improvement we went ahead with similar plans for RC followed by Verbal test readiness and Quants. The analytics page especially in Quants was really valuable for me as I was able to target my weaknesses and this allowed me to devote more time to Verbal. The level of questions in the Sigma-X mocks was also great and representative of the actual GMAT and the scores I got in these mocks were also close to my actual GMAT score. I gave another attempt in January and scored 710 this time (V39, Q49). Dhruv was a great mentor and provided a lot of value as he was quick to respond to all my queries and in drafting apt improvement plans which helped me improve by 80 points.
