Strengths:

- Comprehensive Verbal course
- Adaptive AI in Quant to help save time
- Detailed videos to learn and detailed solutions as well
- Solid data insights to check strengths and weaknesses

Would make the product better:

- There should be availability to retake the mocks

I enrolled for eGMAT after some research and word of mouth. A friend told me it is solid and she got a good score with eGMAT.

I also read the reviews that eGMAT has great Verbal content, and I could see that as soon as I started my preparation. The SC course is taught with a focus on meaning with a solid base of grammar. They encourage you to read, pause and visualise. This technique helped me in all the 3 subsections.

I got a 680 on my first actual exam, but I knew it wasn't an honest attempt. My CR was weak and I did not pay enough attention to analyse it.

For my second attempt, I contacted eGMAT for the last mile push program for which I could get a mentor and a personalised plan. My mentor, Rida Shafeek helped me analyse what weaknesses I have and made a personalised weekly plan based on how much time I could commit. I just had a month for my retake.
Rida helped me with constant feedback, tailor-made quizzes and in-depth performance analysis.
With consistent mentorship throughout the final weeks, I solidified my weaknesses and finally scored a 730 on my second attempt!

The top 3 areas I needed help in were SC, CR and word problems in maths. Pre-thinking did not work for me, but what worked was identifying the gaps in CR arguments. And those were the key to any answer.

I highly recommend eGMAT, especially if anyone's struggling with Verbal

Hello Everyone!!
I am happy to say that I gave the Gmat on 2nd December and scored a 740 Q 50 and V39. I would like to take this moment and tank everyone who helped me throughout this process especially Gmat Club and E-Gmat. On my diagnostic test I got a 670 and as I was new to the Gmat, I assumed that I could improve the score very easily.
However, my score appeared to had platued on the 710s. This is when I decided to take a E-gmat course. Prior to taking the course, I attended several sessions taken by Rajat and Payal on Gmat club and I had found that I was really able to relate to their process. Thus, I took the Gmat online 360 on Feb 20th of this year.
For quant, the course is very well complied and covers every topic and reinforces your learnings by taking multiple quizzes. For me, the courses on the inequalities, sets and statistics were very helpful. Once I was done with the chapters, I had a gigantic pool of questions in the scholaranium from which I could test my learnings and the error log was very vital for me to track the questions on which I faltered. This rigorous and extensive nature of the course ensured that I was more than well prepared to tack the quant section of the Gmat.
In my opinion, the course on verbal is the best. I was easily able to relate to and grasp the methodologies taught in the course and that is what I believe have helped me achieve such a score on the Gmat. The meaning-based approach taught me to always look for the meaning of a SC questions before going to options. Initially, even though I believed that would waste precious time on the Gmat, I could not have been more wrong. By regular practice of this method, I was able to get more Sc questions correct and also solved them in much less time. Their philosophy of Pre- thinking on the Critical reasoning section helped me with accuracy and timing. Not only was I able to easily able to solve questions but also, I was able to do them in much less time. However, the most important learning from the course for me was in the Reading Comprehension section. Previously, in my mocks, I was unable to complete the Verbal section on time. Thus, I had a fear that I was slow, however, it was my approach that needed improvement and E-gmat helped me with that. Their processes and the practice materials gave me a good enough idea of what to expect on the Gmat and more than well prepared me for the test day.
Even though, E-gmat has a wide variety of questions, excellent mocks and several ways to cement your learnings, I believe that the processes of E-gmat were what helped me immensely.Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the good people of E-gmat and I have no doubt when I say that E-gmat was the best investment I have done in my Gmat journey.

Strengths:

Flexibility of studying and the variety of practice tools to solidify learnings

I wouldn't say online courses could help all students improve their scores significantly because that would be a false claim. In fact, my case is an example where I self-studied with books for 2 months (completely from scratch) and got 700 in my first attempt, and after learning extra with e-GMAT I still got 700 in my second attempt.

However, I would definitely stress on the difference between these 2 700 scores. In my very first attempt, I hastily rushed on the last 3-4 questions in both Verbal and Quantitative sessions, and I knew there were many random guesses throughout my Verbal one. Hence, I believe the first 700 was a complete luck.

After studying with e-GMAT, I saw their biggest strength is the structural guidance of thinking for each type of knowledge in the GMAT test. That helped me a lot on the second attempt and especially in the Verbal CR questions, where I didn't even need to rush and random guess in any question. Given the admission deadlines and current workload from my job, I am unfortunately not having enough time to re-take the test. I wish I had studied GMAT with e-GMAT earlier from last year, so that I would have had more time doing practices and more chance to score higher because I know I'm capable of.

I got to know about e-GMAT from a friend of mine when I had just started to research about GMAT prep. I hadn't looked at any material till then and luckily, didn't need to after as well. e-GMAT was a perfect match for me mainly because of how structured its course structure is.

I found the verbal section of the course the most helpful and I spent considerable time on it (about 2 months).
I started with Sentence Correction (SC) as it was a clear lacking point in the only Mock I had given prior to taking the course. (First SigmaX Mock - 540 Q40 V24). Evidently, I needed to improve drastically in both verbal and quant. The e-GMAT course helped in just that.

The depth to which the SC course was taught was incredible. The core skills such as identifying grammatical errors, understanding meaning, and answer choices analysis got firmly built due to the course. The Critical Reasoning section was equally thorough. I started solving OG questions after going through the entire verbal e-GMAT course and found all the questions pretty doable mainly becuase of the core skills and concepts learned in the course. One can safely assume to tackle even the toughest or the trickiest verbal questions accurately if one goes through the whole verbal course meticulously.

The Quant section helped with that extra nudge required during the last few weeks of my prep. I studied specific sub-topics from the course where I thought my speed was lacking and that helped a lot in the actual exam.

Overall e-GMAT was undoubtedly instrumental in helping me achieve a decent score of 720 (Q49 V38) on my first attempt. The thing that helped me the most was not getting distracted by multiple study sources/strategies. I stuck to one study schedule without distortion and gave it all while executing it.

I recently scored a 710 with Q50 and V35.

Like most aspirants, my GMAT test journey started with practicing random questions from GMAT Club and reading the Manhattan prep books. And like most aspirants I know, that strategy didn’t work. I was able to understand what was to be done in a particular problem but just didn’t know how.

I then came across the e-GMAT course. I attended a Masterclass webinar hosted by the founder and I was sold.

Now, coming to the product. Here’s what I found great about the course

> APPLICATION FILES: Every course offers you content, but the platform to actively apply the concepts in a guided manner is what differentiates the product. The outcome is as if you’re being taught in a live session but you have the convenience of doing things at your pace.

> STAGE WISE PREP: There’s a bifurcation of concept building and then subsequently practicing and harnessing your abilities in the concept you’ve studied. Cementing quizzes, which form a major part of improving your ability, is a very well-thought-out concept and gives direction to the prep. Otherwise, we can fall into the pattern of practicing questions side by side without categorizing or timing them. This will lengthen the time required to master the concepts.

> SCHOLARANIUM: More than the practice questions, the way your question attempt data is presented is quite helpful. This helps target minute weaknesses in specific topics or any behavioral improvements required while tackling a question.

> STRATEGIC SUPPORT: e-GMAT’s team is always reachable for any doubts in content and guidance during the preparation. Preparing for the exam can be stressful and there are times when you’re too involved in it that the obvious right path eludes you. Those are the times when the Strategy mentors are really helpful. For these reasons, my strategy mentor, Rida, was a godsend.

The score I’ve secured is not my target score. But I believe with e-GMAT, I have the arsenal to reach where I want to be.

GMAT is an exam that requires more conceptual understanding and strategic preparation than most exams. e-GMAT’s product is curated specifically keeping that in mind.

I enrolled for eGMAT after extensive research on all major prep providers.

eGMAT's Verbal supremacy clearly stood out in reviews and it was evident throughout my course as well.

Started off with a 670 in my first mock, and after 2 months of intense focus on verbal and quant I was able to improve this to 710-730 across mocks and eventually a 720 on the actual exam.

In-depth concept videos, a massive repository of questions and easily accessible support from experts really helped ease off the preparation stress.
Thanks especially to my strategy expert Abha Mohan who was extremely helpful during the Last Mile Program to ensure I bridge some key gaps in my preparation. Her detailed performance analysis, tailored preparation pointers and consistent mentorship in the final few weeks were some of the key factors that helped me with score improvement. She stayed invested in my progress throughout the LMP and leveraged platform analytics extensively to make sure my verbal foundation was strengthened.

Would highly recommend the course!

In 2021, I decided to work towards pursuing an MBA to accelerate and grow in my career. This is when I started to prepare and give the GMAT entrance exam.

After taking guidance and suggestions from a lot of people, I believed that I can self-study my way through this exam. I solved the original guides and questions from many other free resources. I was fairly able to cope up in all the sections except the Verbal section. Specifically, my sentence correction was very weak.

In my first two attempts, I got a 660 (Attempt1 - Q50/V30; Attempt2 - Q51/V28). After my first attempt, I was shocked since I scored above 700 in nearly all my mocks. I thought that maybe it was just a bad day and gave another attempt within a month. I was devastated to see similar result.

After taking a break to focus on some personal commitments, I gathered courage and decided to give one last push. I realized that I had to do something different to improve my Verbal score. After a lot of research, I came across the E-GMAT course. The reviews were fantastic.

I signed up for this course strictly to improve my Verbal. After going through the course I realized that all the shortcuts I learnt from free materials were absolutely inapplicable to the difficult questions. E-GMAT's unique meaning-based approach is actually what is essential to crack the Verbal section. I learnt the importance of understanding the meaning before evaluating the options and grammar part of sentence correction questions. I realized that there are no proven shortcuts for solving difficult sentence correction questions. Yes, it initially took me 3 to 4 minutes to solve each question but slowly with ample practice through the quizzes and scholaranium's question bank helped me improve speed as well as accuracy. I first focused to improve accuracy, and then focused to improve speed. After being comfortable with my speed and accuracy through practice questions and Sigma-X mocks , I was finally confident enough to take the actual test. I felt a lot more comfortable while solving the verbal questions and landed a 10 point increment (from V28 to V38). I comparatively fell slightly in Quants section, but nevertheless landed a 710 (Q49/V38/IR8/AWA5)!

To summarize, E-GMAT helped me realize and work on the following three aspects which helped me finally cross the 700 mark:
1) Comprehending trumps Grammar - Just applying grammar rules without understanding the meaning will not help you solve the 700 level questions correctly
2) Accuracy trumps speed - If you are not able to get questions correct initially, your score will drop even if you solve the questions at a fast pace.
3) Official mocks are outdated and easier - I am sorry to break this to you. Although official mocks are the closest in terms of exam environment and scoring algorithm, it is much easier than the actual exam you will take. This is because the mocks are old, and candidates on average have improved on solving difficult questions because of which the level of actual GMAT is higher than the official mocks. E-GMAT's Sigma mocks maybe slightly lengthy, but the difficulty level is pretty much what you will face in the actual exam.

Once again, thank you E-GMAT for devising this fantastic course and helping students like me to channelize our efforts in the right direction for achieving our dream score!

I enrolled for eGMAT when I was in a need of structured content for verbal, specially, for sentence correction. eGMAT’s learning content was not just limited to the theoretical concepts but it focussed majorly on the application of concepts and this approach helped me to solve SC questions confidently. The approach to solve RC passage questions is also very effective and helps to save a lot of time in the hard passages & eliminate the wrong answer choices.

I gave my first attempt just after recovering from COVID & hence, I could sense that it was not a good attempt. Just after my first attempt, I was introduced to the last mile program. It was because of the extensive study plans and the cementing quizzes that I was able to gain confidence in verbal & improve my accuracy in hard questions as well.

After two attempts in a span of 4 months, getting a V39 in my third attempt with score of 690 (V39 Q47) gave me a sigh of relief as I was able to improve my score in verbal from V29 to V39 solely because of the mentorship received in LMP along with the eGMAT content. Improving my quant score wasn’t a challenge but certainly a task to complete.

While preparing for my fourth attempt, my strategy expert, Akash was very supportive and he even replied to my late-night emails on holidays too! He not only guided me on time management, but also focussed on small external things which might affect my performance and he ensured that I am well accustomed to that environment by replicating the same during my mocks. On the exam day, I was extremely elated to see a score of 710 (V36, Q49) and I knew that it would not have been possible without Akash & eGMAT team’s guidance & program.

Here are my takeaways from e-GMAT’s course:

1. Massive improvement in verbal concepts and skills. e-GMAT’s meaning based approach helped me to strengthen the concepts as well as the application of these concepts in a timed environment.

2. High focus on quizzes– I was able to solve 700+ level questions in verbal because of the consistent practice of questions on eGMAT that tested each & every concept.

3. Last Mile Program – The strategies & last-minute tips that Akash provided ensured that I remained calm and confident during my final attempt.

I would rate this course the best that I have come across during my preparation for gmat. It goes completely to the credit of this course content that I could score a 720 ( q50, v38). The verbal content has been put out beautifully and the strategies suggested by the course can totally be relied upon. The SC module of the course was my personal favourite in the course. The best part is one need not look outside for any other material as this is all encompassing. Just follow the process and you would be great. The mentorship provided by the course is also very good wherein the response is quick and direction is right. I was assigned akshay agarwal, who guided me through the process and made it a smooth ride. Also the sigma c micks have been accurately designed to predict where actually you stand and the analytics can be utilized effectively concentrate in the right direction. Once again, a highly recommended course for someone aspiring above 700.

e-GMAT's verbal course and curriculum are unparalleled. It has the most comprehensive and exhaustive set of grammar, CR,RC & SC rules you'll need for a GMAT verbal section. I particularly liked the CR and the SC course, and I could see and measure my improvement in VR Scores after taking the course! Their website has many custom quiz options one can take to gauge their ability, accuracy and test readiness. For Quant, I felt that the platform had questions that were probably a little more difficult and complicated than the OG questions. But one can go through their quant course too to review all the concepts and formulae in one place. Cheers to Abha @ eGMAT for helping me throughout the prep period. I would highly recommend eGMAT esp. for Verbal improvement.
