Strengths:

1. Personalized strategies
2. Comprehensive learning
3. Realistic testing environment
4. Time-saving features
5. Supportive community

I first stumbled upon e-GMAT through a friend's recommendation, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. This platform has been instrumental in my GMAT preparation journey, particularly in tackling all three subsections effectively. What sets e-GMAT apart is their strategic approach tailored to each subsection. Their emphasis on understanding the meaning behind questions and prethinking techniques significantly boosted my verbal score.

One crucial lesson I learned is that mastering a topic isn't about solving endless questions but grasping problem-solving methodologies and solidifying basic concepts. The cementing quizzes provided a test-like environment, reinforcing all the concepts I learned in each subsection.

The PACE engine on the platform was a game-changer, saving me countless hours by allowing me to skip concepts I already knew well, focusing instead on areas where I needed improvement. Additionally, the e-GMAT forum proved invaluable. Engaging with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in the forum, especially regarding Reading Comprehension (RC) and Critical Reasoning (CR), was enlightening. Harsha, one of my favorite SMEs, always offered spot-on responses that addressed the gaps in my understanding.

Akash from the strategy team deserves a special mention as well. He's been a constant source of support throughout my journey, providing guidance on areas of improvement, strengths, and exam strategy. Our discussions have been pivotal in shaping my preparation.

For any MBA aspirant, I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT. Their comprehensive approach, personalized guidance, and supportive community make it an indispensable tool for GMAT success.

Initially I thought about preparing for the GMAT on my own. However, I found it difficult to design a plan given the many resources available. I opted for e-Gmat's course so I would have something structured and comprehensive.

At first, you create your own Personalized Study Plan, which is interesting because it gives an idea of how much time to spend on each section. However, if you decide to complete every lesson and every quiz available, like I did, the PSP will significantly underestimate the time needed. It took me about three months to go through the whole course, though for the first month I dedicated only 2-3 hours/day (later 6+ hours/day).

I didn't try any other course, but I would recommend e-GMAT. To be honest, I chose the service because it had good reviews, but mostly because of its attractive pricing. I'm happy with the value I got for the money invested.

The program is comprehensive and the lessons are short and to the point. Lessons are usually followed by quizzes, which are very helpful because, at the end of the day, GMAT's content is fairly easy, what you need is a lot of practice solving questions.

The team is also very responsive. Communication is done through email, but I'd usually get a response within a few hours.

On the negative side, at times I was annoyed by questions that had the wrong answer marked. I remember a couple of instances, with questions regarding Correlation, that some students had previously expressed concerns on the forum, and the tutors reiterated that the answers was correct (it wasn't). I suggested they ran the correlation on Excel, which clearly showed that the answer was wrong.

The problem with that is that after you spot a few errors, you start questioning every explanation that you don't immediately agree with. I ended up wasting a lot of time checking questions I got wrong and trying to figure out is the explanation made sense.

Additionally, I was disappointed with the mock exams offered. In every exam I scored way below my target score. When I switched to the official mocks, I scored way above my target in every occasion. This is mostly the reason why I'm giving the service 4 stars. Getting such low scores deeply affected my self-confidence and I even thought about giving up. As it turns out, e-GMAT's mocks had mostly questions that took way longer than two minutes to solve. For example, in one of the mocks I scored 615, while on the official mocks I was scoring 685-725 (my actual score was 685 unfortunately).

In summary, I believe the service is good and would recommend it. Just keep in mind that the official mocks are a much better reflection of your potential score.

Strengths:

Strengths would include-
- The amazing quality of the content for all the 3 sections
- The feedbacks that the mentors provide
- The seriousness with which the mentors take your progress
- Taking all the difficulty levels into account during preparation
- Nuance concepts that help a lot with time management on D-day

Would make the product better:

If some specific techniques for time and stress management are included in the course, it'll make it even better.

I recently undertook eGMAT's online course to prepare for the GMAT, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the comprehensive content to the invaluable mentorship, eGMAT has truly exceeded my expectations.

First and foremost, the quality of content across all sections is unparalleled. The material is meticulously crafted, covering every aspect of the GMAT syllabus in great detail. The structured approach made it easy for me to grasp even the most complex concepts.

The mentors at eGMAT are another highlight of the course. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in my preparation journey. They provided personalized support, addressing my doubts and concerns promptly, which significantly boosted my confidence.

Thanks to eGMAT, I was able to achieve a commendable score of 655 in my first attempt. However, if there's one area for improvement, it would be the verbal course. While the content is excellent, incorporating additional techniques to enhance time management would be beneficial.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend eGMAT to anyone preparing for the GMAT. Their commitment to excellence and dedication to student success are truly commendable. Thank you, eGMAT, for playing a pivotal role in my GMAT journey!

Strengths:

The strengths of the product are:
1. Concept files which explain the concepts just like you would do to a beginner.
2. Basic strategy building for both the Verbal and the Quant sections.
3. Structure of the course with practice quizzes following the concept files and cementing quizzes post sub-section completion.
4. Performance insights which illustrate your strengths and areas of improvement.
5. Constant support from the team on performance analysis and improvement feedback.

Would make the product better:

Some improvements to the product could be:
1. The question bank sometimes does return a similar question that has either previously been attempted or was discussed in one of the concept files. This has happened a few times for CR questions. Since the question was previously attempted, it does not help improving the ability. This repetitiveness is something which could be done away with.
2. A 1:1 support channel on the platform itself instead of away from the platform would enhance the experience.
3. The Verbal question bank could be enhanced with additional RC passages.

The eGMAT course is like a one-stop shop for your GMAT preparation.

I had started my preparation in July,2023 and took the test in January,2024. That accounts for six months of preparation time. However, this also includes the phases during which I had to take breaks from the preparation due to work demands. Negating that out, eGMAT prepares you for your D-Day in around three to four months of focussed effort.

The support team at eGMAT is always in for your queries and for providing regular feedback and improvement plans throughout your journey. It is this support that keeps students motivated towards the preparation and creates a positive impact about the product as a whole.

Moreover, an improvement of more than 100 points (considering I had taken the first mock test post SC preparation) in four months, for a first time test taker, is testament to the course structure, the performance insights which help you improve and the dedication of the team towards the success of its students.

Strengths:

Egmat has a very customized service and personalized attention based approach. The targeted improvement plans and encouragement serve as constant support to reach your target score. The Scholaranium is a very powerful tool with excellent questions of great quality and the data generated is very useful for targeted improvement

I was a student of e-GMAT prior to the pandemic, after which I took a break in my preparation. I re-started my prep in June 2023, with a target of a 740+ score in mind. Soon, I realized that I was nowhere close to my score since I was scoring in the late 600s and I wrote a frantic mail to e-GMAT to help me with the last mile push. This is when I was first introduced to Rashmi, one of the mentors at e-GMAT, who remained a constant backbone over the next couple of months and helped me score a 740 (V41 Q49).
Verbal had always been my strong suit, but I was quite weak in quant, which was pulling my score down. Rashmi crafted a quant improvement plan for me based on my strengths and weaknesses as displayed by the data on the e-GMAT portal. The PACE guided modules were extremely helpful to go through all the concepts and application files I needed. She helped me realize that while I was clear on most concepts, my process skills needed to be honed, for which she crafted a personalized improvement plan. The methodical plan, helpful content, and constant practice on the e-GMAT portal helped me improve from a Q45/46 to a Q49/50, and this is what I consider my biggest achievement.
For Verbal, while I was historically strong in the section, there were certain areas that needed to be improved to achieve my target score. The meaning-based sentence correction approach really helped me minimize my mistakes and helped me become a better reader, which ultimately assisted in the CR and RC sections.
I found e-GMAT’s scholaranium to be one of the most helpful tools for my practice, since I was constantly able to take custom quizzes as per the plan designed and review my performance based on the data recorded. It very accurately identified all my weak areas, enabling me to work and improve on them. I think the biggest contributor to my score was the constant personalized support from Rashmi and the e-GMAT team, who continuously pushed me to keep at my preparation and become better. During my preparation, I would write to them very frequently and would always get a response within 24 hours. This really helped me to remain motivated to practice every day and manage the preparation along with my hectic working hours. I would definitely recommend anyone preparing for their GMAT to trust in the process laid out by e-GMAT team and leverage their expertise to achieve your target score!

Strengths:

- Easy to use (user-friendly)
- Comprehensive and comparable to official guide questions
- Teaches how to develop skills to solve more difficult exercises

Would make the product better:

- Make it clearer how the test-readiness works (create plans for it)
- Make it more interactive to track whether you are following the plan or not

I highly recommend the e-gmat platform for those with limited study time. It greatly aids in organization and builds the necessary skills to tackle more complex exercises.

I've tried other platforms, but by far, E-Gmat has been the most effective for me.

Not only did it help me significantly increase my verbal score, but it also helped me solidify my quant to an exceptional level.


For a while, I thought I wouldn't be able to score at least a 645 (old 700) on the test. However, by actively using the platform and reaching out to their customer support, I did manage to achieve a good score. Surely, with their support, I could have scored even higher, but my nerves got the best of me, haha.

It's been said that the Indians are the best, and I can only agree!!!

GMAT review

Hello everyone! I recently took my GMAT exam on January 31st and scored 710. My preparation journey was quite lengthy and perhaps unconventional, involving multiple attempts before my latest endeavor, which fell on the final date of the current edition of the GMAT. Throughout this process, I gained invaluable insights, and I'm eager to share some of those, particularly highlighting the significant role that e-gmat played in helping me attain that score. I underwent a lengthy self preparation journey that did not result in achieving my target score. After reading several positive reviews on GMAT Club and participating in some excellent YouTube live sessions by them, I made the decision to choose e-gmat for my preparation, and I'm extremely grateful that I did.


My section wise improvement:

Verbal:

I believe an important aspect for scoring well in Verbal is building the skill of comprehension. It took me some time, but eventually, reading passages with the genuine aim of comprehension rather than superficially became second nature to me. Visualizing the provided information and forming logical connections while reading eventually became a non-negotiable process, significantly altering the way I grasped CR and RC passages. The process of ‘Pre-thinking’ in CR helped me improve my timing in CR questions and also reject incorrect answer choices on solid grounds.

Quant:

Considering my background in engineering, I almost completely ignored preparing for Quant section in my previous attempts. Everytime, scoring a Q42. For my latest attempt, I went through every Quant module given in the course. While solving questions, I noticed that, like many others, I was making errors in questions I knew how to solve! I referred to these errors as 'silly' mistakes. After this, I realized the importance of ‘process skills’ in quant as well. I changed the way I solved quant questions, laying stress on consciously making sure all cases are covered, explicitly writing constraints while reading the question stem, etc.

Specific areas of the course that benefited me:

1. The course content is comprehensive and very well structured. I personally believe that if you do this course right, follow the exact learning process diligently, you will see a remarkable transformation in your performance. The structured approach to learning was instrumental in facilitating my learning journey.

2. E-gmat emphasizes a lot on skill-building over mere content absorption. Towards the end of the course aside from one or two topics, I didn't find it necessary to revisit the course material, as such.

3. Scholaranium : I can't stress enough the significance of this platform in evaluating and analyzing my progress. It provided all the data necessary for understanding my strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.

4. Mentorship : Shout out to Akash for mentoring me in the final days of my prep. Every step was personally structured towards filling my process gaps and test readiness! It was not just about giving mocks, it was about giving tests / quizzes the right way!

Some tips:

1. Maintain an error log! I maintained a very detailed error log with detailed notes on where I faltered and corrective actions. This error log became my only source for revision in the later stages of prep. I used ‘notion’ for this.
2. As an e-gmat student, I would say, trust the process, it works! Look, the course is lengthy, time consuming and feels daunting at first. Halfway through the learning phase, I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content that was left to consume and the time I had taken to complete the first half of it. I already felt exhausted. But, I continued with the course, taking breaks at appropriate intervals. I realized it was best for me to take my time and do things the right way.
3. Do not attempt GMAT unprepared. This might sound trivial to most, but some of us have a different approach to giving exams! :P There are no shortcuts to GMAT and I feel you need to be prepared for every scenario : order of questions, super hard RC passage right in the middle of the test etc. Giving mocks is a great way to analyze such gaps and be prepared for it. Keep calm, exercise. A lot has to go right to achieve a score that accurately reflects your true potential.

I recently took my GMAT Classic exam and scored a 720 (Q49, V39, IR 6, AWA 6). My starting ability in the GMAT was somewhere around the ~500 level, hence a lot of effort went in to fix the basics!

Here's what I liked about the course:

1. The meaning based approach in SC makes it so easy to find errors in sentences in a structured manner. This helped me develop SC into one of my strongest areas in the GMAT.

2. The RC reading strategies helped me a lot in terms of managing time during the exam, helping me form linkages and reduce my dependence on taking notes.

3. Scholaranium is a game changer. It provides unparalleled insights into where is it that we need to focus our efforts. It provides sub section level analysis of our performance, making the entire prep structured and data driven.

4. Mentorship: I wrote to the E-GMAT team requesting their help on charting out a plan to improve my score further from a 700 that I had scored in my first attempt. I'd like to thank Rashmi, my mentor, for the prompt and consistent support in charting out the plans, assessing my performance and tweaking the plans accordingly. Her inputs helped me improve my score from a 700 to a 720. I was unable to translate my performances in the mocks and practice quizzes on the exam day, else I'd have scored much higher. Rashmi was very prompt, patient and supportive throughout the prep phase and I'm grateful to her for going out of the way to help me.

All in all, I'd recommend the E-GMAT course not only because of their teaching methods, but also because the module (Course, Scholaranium, Sigma mocks) is very user friendly and provides unparalleled insights to help students take data driven insights, which help in directing efforts towards the weaker areas.

Navigating Scholaranium can be improved. Easy - Medium questions can be added in a quiz format during modules.

I am happy to share my journey with e-GMAT and how it played a pivotal role in boosting my GMAT Verbal score by a remarkable 90 points. When I stumbled upon the e-GMAT Online 360 course, and it turned out to be a game-changer for me. The e-GMAT Verbal course, particularly the meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction (SC) and the pre-thinking approach for Critical Reasoning (CR), proved to be the key to my success. I also found the Scholaranium and Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly impressive. The detailed analytics provided after each test helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses at a granular level. Highly responsive and supportive team with members such as Akash and Rashi.

Hello Everyone!

I recently embarked on the challenging journey of preparing for the GMAT, and I am thrilled to share that I achieved a score of 720. I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the e-GMAT team for their invaluable support throughout this process. In this comprehensive review, I'll share how e-GMAT's structured approach revolutionized my preparation and led to my success.

Mastering Skills of Verbal with e-GMAT's Structured Approach:
From the moment I decided to prepare for the GMAT, I knew I needed a comprehensive and structured course to guide me through the complexities of the exam. e-GMAT's Verbal course exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The journey began with the Master Comprehension module, which meticulously laid the foundation by dissecting the building blocks of sentences and instilling a profound understanding of the Meaning-Based Approach. This approach was truly a game-changer in Sentence Correction. In Critical Reasoning, the pre-thinking technique empowered me to anticipate answers before even glancing at the choices, significantly reducing the time taken to answer questions. In Reading Comprehension, the emphasis on understanding the passage itself proved invaluable, enabling me to tackle even the most challenging questions with confidence.

Efficiency and Effectiveness: The Role of Process and Analytics:
One of the unique features of e-GMAT's course is the PACE Engine, a personalized, adaptive course engine view that optimizes learning by focusing on individual weak areas. This innovative tool saved me considerable time. In Quant Section, the process skills that I developed helped me tackle any question type with ease. In addition, the three-stage preparation structure, particularly the Cementing Process, was instrumental in solidifying my understanding and ensuring mastery of concepts for both Verbal and Quant.
Scholaranium stands out as a remarkable platform within e-GMAT's arsenal, offering an array of features essential for thorough GMAT preparation. With a diverse range of questions spanning Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels, Scholaranium provides an immersive learning experience that transcends conventional test prep methods. The quality of questions is exceptional, offering learning opportunities with each attempt. Whether you're tackling fundamental concepts or delving into advanced topics, every question presents an opportunity for growth and mastery. One of the standout features of Scholaranium is its robust analytics capabilities, which empower users to track their progress with precision. By monitoring metrics such as time taken to solve questions, accuracy rates, and performance trends across difficulty levels, users gain invaluable insights into their strengths and weaknesses. This data-driven approach facilitates targeted preparation, allowing users to focus on areas that require improvement and optimize their study strategies accordingly. The platform's analytics proved helpful during the crucial test readiness phase, enabling me to fine-tune my preparation. Scholaranium is a must-have resource for anyone serious about mastering the GMAT.

Balancing Work and Studies: Personalized Support and Study Plans:
As a working professional juggling multiple commitments, the Last Mile Program offered by e-GMAT was a godsend. My mentor, Akash, provided a meticulous roadmap, covering every aspect of preparation from learning to stamina development for the exam. I cannot overstate the significance of the support I received from my mentor, who not only crafted detailed plans but also offered unwavering encouragement and motivation throughout my journey. The regular check-ins and customized resources such as study material, videos etc. played a pivotal role in keeping me on track, even during challenging times.

Comprehensive Support and Realistic Simulation:
The support provided by e-GMAT's Subject Matter Experts was unparalleled. Their ability to simplify complex concepts and provide tailored guidance was invaluable in addressing my doubts and enhancing my understanding. The SigmaX Mocks served as a true simulation of the actual test environment, allowing me to devise strategies and gauge my readiness effectively. With the guidance of my mentor, Akash, I felt supported every step of the way, from crafting study plans to overcoming self-doubt.

Final Recommendation: Why e-GMAT Is the Ultimate Choice:
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT to anyone serious about GMAT preparation. Its structured approach, comprehensive support, and innovative tools offer everything one could ask for in an effective preparation course. Whether you're a working professional seeking flexibility or a student aiming for excellence, e-GMAT is the ultimate choice for achieving your GMAT goals.
