When I decided to take on the GMAT, I knew nothing about GMAT Club or eGMAT. Most of my preparation was pretty much self-learning from the preparatory book I bought. I was not aware of many things such as the other methods of learning (if you are reading this review, that means you are aware of GMAT Club and eGMAT, that’s definitely a plus!), what scholarship scores looked like, what a Q** or V** actually meant for the overall score etc.

A few weeks after my speculative test (660; Q47, V34), I came across the GMAT Club (euraka moment) and discovered different ways of solving questions, learned what a >700 score looked like etc. About 4 weeks after discovering the GMAT Club world, I did the exam and had a 690 (Q47, V39). Because of other personal plans, I literally had 4-5 weeks to either do another test or stick to the 690 score. I had to do something different if I planned another test.

One day, I randomly saw a note about the free weekend eGMAT classes (another euraka moment) and attended a few of these. Then, I contacted eGMAT (spoke to Dhruv and then Dhananjay), and the hospitality was amazing. On my call with Dhananjay (DJ), I told him about my history with GMAT and my plans to take another test within 5 weeks of meeting him. DJ was very responsive and told me that my target score at the time (720) was achievable within that 4/5-week period if I diligently followed a personalized study plan which he sent to me. We also spoke about what I needed to do specifically in Quant and Verbal to achieve a 720 score, and in fact, what I needed to do in each sub-section of both sections to achieve that score. For the first time in my GMAT process, I had a tutor.

During this period, I was in constant communication with DJ, and 7 days leading to the test, we had another frank status conversation. At this point, he created a 7-day plan for me, and I was required to provide daily updates leading to the exam which I did. At this point, I had completely forgotten that I wanted a 720 score because I was aiming for much higher based on the progress made so far (my latest mock exam scores were between 710 and 760). So, I wrote the actual exam and had a 720 (Q49, V39) thankfully. I had mixed feelings though (I felt l could have done better, then I also realized I had made good progress over a short period).

My takeaway is that the tutorship/mentorship process worked a lot for me. I made more progress in few weeks of this than in a few months of self-learning. The eGMAT portal is as diagnostic as it gets, and DJ was quite helpful in detailing what to exactly focus on. I asked myself ‘what if I had started this way a lot earlier?’. So again, if you are reading this at the beginning of your GMAT journey, you are in a very good space, trust me. I’ll recommend eGMAT for anyone who’s willing to put it in the effort to achieve his or her target scores.

I belong to an overrepresented category of MBA aspirants (Indian Engineer), so I knew that I had to put in some effort to achieve a high GMAT score.

I wanted a course that clarifies the basics to build a strong foundation, provides a good number of questions to test my abilities and provides expert guidance on doubts encountered. The e-GMAT course matched my expectations on all the above mentioned aspects. I sincerely recommend this course to other aspiring candidates and I can vouch for the course's credibility.

I would like to highlight some of the key distinguishing factors of the e-GMAT course:

1. Concept Videos/Application Files : Great to build a strong foundation and to test ourselves. Both the Quant and Verbal concept videos are a boon to someone who wants to build on the concepts from scratch.
2. Scholaranium : A wealth of questions are available for timed/untimed practice. One can customize quizzes , vary the time limit and question difficulty level to test ability.
3. SIGMA-X Mocks : One of the most robust Computer Adaptive mocks available online. The Analysis given after the mock is very useful as well.
4. Strategic Advisors : The Advisor who was assigned to me (Archit Bhargava) was extremely helpful and encouraging. He helped analyze my ESR and highlight the key areas that I needed to work on.

Additionally, the e-GMAT support mail is pretty active and one can actually reach out to the instructors either via the support mail or via the "Ask an Expert" feature on the e-GMAT platform.

Above all, e-GMAT was a smart investment that helped me reach my target score. Kudos to the team ! Keep supporting aspirants the way you have been !

I started my GMAT Prep journey with e-GMAT in Aug'20. Although, being a native speaker I was confident in the Verbal section, I knew I had to do well in the Quant section so as to achieve my target score which I wasn't so confident about. This is where E-Gmat mentorship program came to the rescue.
eGMAT’s mentorship program is one of the best guidance techniques there is available, for sure. My mentor, Dhananjay(DJ), has not only guided me throughout my improvement journey from a Q43 to a Q47 but has also ensured that I keep up with my prep and that I have all it takes to crack the exam.

The hyper specific weekly milestones that Dhananjay(DJ) created for me gave me a very strong sense of direction and accomplishment each day knowing exactly what I had to do during the course of the day, giving me a true sense that I as moving forward on the right track. My mentor, would touch base with me at the end of each week to check up on the status of the milestones as well as calibrate for new goals and developments. He would keep a constant track of my progress in the course, discussing and eliminating any roadblocks that I would find by sending me videos detailing exactly where I was going wrong. Basically, Dhananjay helped me look for ways to keep moving forward in my journey with the GMAT, ensuring that I learnt what was needed in the best and most effective way possible.
Overall, it has been a great opportunity to learn in a truly personalized way. DJ has been a great mentor who has constantly motivated me to put in my best as well as made sure that he came up with solutions to avoid any impediments to my journey. The best part about having a mentor like Dhananjay(DJ) is that he is extremely approachable and I could reach out to him at any point of time with the smallest of queries or doubts and rest assured he would sort them out in no time

Also, a lot of credit goes to the e-GMAT 2.0 course, which is a substantial upgrade over its previous course files, in my Quant score improvement. The best thing about Quant 2.0 is that it assesses your current skill level and then recommends next steps in order to avoid wasting time. I was able to enhance my learning in NP, Algebra and Geometry through the new quant course as the questions in the files were great and were at par with if not higher than the actual GMAT level and the process skill file made sure I was adept with the correct way of approaching and solving them.

Looking forward, I aim to achieve a higher score and I now look forward to digging deeper into the Quant 2.0 materials along with the guidance of my mentor, Dhananjay and I am sure I will achieve my target score.

I took trial calls with almost all test prep companies and then finally decided on e-GMAT because of the analytics they provide. But I am going to talk about my mentor - Dhananjay. He is an absolute gem of a person to work with. He is supersonic in terms of his replying time. The plans he gave were super customised and extremely action oriented. I used to get back to him after completing the action steps and he used to create a video in which he used to analyse my progress, this really helped me understanding my improvement areas. He truly was reachable at any point, whether weekdays or weekends or holidays. It was an immense pleasure to work with him and I will always recommend working with him. Thanks a ton, DJ!

I started the E-Gmat course to only improve the verbal section of GMAT before a month, Though my exam didn't go as good as i had thought , one thing i particularly want to appreciate is the mentor's understanding of the weaknesses and the support they give by personal preparation plan, there is no doubt that these guys are dedicated and they actually really know where things can go wrong in exam. Like in my case, Dhananjay was my mentor, he just saw my scholranium, asked me few questions and immediately understood i was weak in RC , accordingly he made plan for my final week before exam, though it didn't go good, but the reason is definitely not related to e-gmat. The second thing is the mock tests and the detailed analysis that we get after them, this really helps knowing where exactly we went wrong and what are the weak topics of each section, understanding these can considerably help save time in preparation. Now I am preparing again and hope this time i reach my target score with the help of my mentor.

I got in touch with DJ towards the end of November, just under a month back. Since then, my GMAT journey has drastically changed (for the better). DJ has been by my side, answering any questions I had. Obviously, regarding content you can always write the GMAT support team, but it was very useful to have someone who could answer any overhauling or general questions which might pop-up when preparing for the GMAT.

After getting a very specific analysis of my first SIGma-X mock (700, Q49, V36), DJ recommended I follow the SC course, which would create a good base for increasing my Verbal score. Upon completing this course I felt a lot more confident answering Verbal questions, it started to become a second nature to me, but noticed that I still had quite some conceptual gaps in the Quant section after taking multiple cementing quizzes. Fortunately, the new Quant course was just published and I was lucky enough to be one of the first to test it. With less than a week to go before my GMAT, I managed to (very efficiently) improve certain conceptual gaps, though due to time constraints didn't manage to go through the entire course. DJ mentored me very carefully throughout the last few days of preparation, which helped me to really get the most out of my time. This included a very specific video-analysis of my most recent mock test which pinpointed the lowest hanging fruits as well as coming with a step-by-step plan for the last 3 days. Unfortunately, my actual GMAT (Online) test didn't go as good as I hoped it would, because of the Quant section (Q42). Nevertheless, I'm really happy with my increase in Verbal (V36 -> V41 within a few weeks). I'm looking forward to taking the new Quant course over the next few weeks and giving the GMAT another shot soon thereafter.

I'd like to thank DJ for his extensive mentoring and look forward to working together towards a 720+ score over the next month!

I felt everything was going in the right direction. I had completed all course material of e-GMAT, solved every question of OG, had completed and analysed multiple sectionals of GMAT Club and was scoring well in mocks. But just 11 days before my exam, I took a full length mock and made some serious blunders which could have been avoided. While wondering what I should do next, I reached out to the Support Team of e-GMAT and the very next day, fortunately, Dhanajay Lowe (DJ) got in touch with me and took the ownership of guiding me.

The fact that just 10 days before the exam, a member from e-GMAT comes forward and says, ‘I’ll help you get there’ itself speaks a lot about the attitude e-GMAT has for its students. Within 24 hours, Dhananjay organised a call and curated a customized 10-day plan of action. He created video analysis of my mocks and other quizzes and actually guided me on using the e-GMAT platform in a planned and methodical way. When you say that the expert knows it all, they actually know much more than you can gauge.

I have explored multiple course materials and quizzes online, but believe me, nothing will be able to match the content e-GMAT has on its platform. They help you customize your progress, give you a dashboard which reflects your strengths and weaknesses, create quizzes to sharpen your mettle and provide extensive explanations to every question. Though the strange fact is, you have everything in front of you but you are still oblivious of key factors that will define your score. This is where Dhananjay played the most important role in my last leg of the journey. He not only made me aware of my weaknesses but also gave me a plan of action to resolve the same. And yes, in 10 days, we saw great progress. The video analysis of my quizzes and the test readiness strategy worked wonders for me. The gruelling yet doable plan of action along with the constant feedback from Dhanajay, helped me gain confidence and put me on the right track. I was already impressed with e-GMAT course material and Scholaranium but with DJ happening at the right moment, I can guarantee there’s nothing better than e-GMAT in this industry.

I took the eGMAT Verbal Online course for my GMAT Prep and found the course to be really comprehensive. It is a great course for someone starting from scratch and for someone who has no idea about SC and CR.
The EGMAT team also has been really supportive and instrumental in helping me achieve my target score.

Some of the pros of eGMAT community are

There is a eGMAT forum available as part of the course. Its a discussion and doubt solving forum where eGMAT experts answer student queries. The eGMAT forum is the best place to get answers to all your doubts from silliest to the most intelligent ones. Shraddha who is an SC expert helped me immensely by diligently answering and resolving my doubts within a day. The eGMAT forum is a kind of a gold mine with a great list of questions already, which has been asked by past eGMAT students. Many times, just going through the questions ,already asked, solves the doubt and gives an immense amount of knowledge around the question or concept.

The eGMAT team is really supportive and responsive for any issue or problem one faces while preparing. When I could not achieve my target score in my second attempt even after putting all the hard work I could, it was really disappointing and demoralizing. Sharang and Karan from the eGMAT team helped me analyze my ESR and assured that I can achieve my target score if I followed the right strategy. They shared the story of Jim Yi , which really inspired me a lot. I followed what they said and I achieved my target score of 750 in the next attempt.

During the course of preparation, the eGMAT team shared some videos from Rajat and Payal which has helped me a lot in creating the customized tests in the right way and analyzing my progress in Verbal ability along the way. Even though the package is online, the team is very approachable and responsive to all the student’s problems and doubts. They are really invested in the success of their students. It was overall a great experience studying with eGMAT.

e-GMAT's mentorship program was the X-factor in my reaching the 700 mark. When I approached e-GMAT to help me with the study plan it asked me to take a mock to benchmark my level. I scored 640 on the mock and the folks at e-GMAT helped me identify areas of improvement. During one such discussion I was told that e-GMAT had a mentorship program and that if I was interested I could join one. I was introduced to Ashutosh and he was considerate enough to mentor me even though it had been a month since he started mentoring a batch and had no place for an extra person.

Few of the features of the mentorship plan:

1. You are given a weekly plan detailing out what to study each day and how much time to spend on each. There were weekly check ins to gauge the progress. These really helped me stay focused and complete the assigned tasks as there was a sense of accomplishment
2. The batch would catch on a fortnightly basis to discuss problems and help each other out. Ashutosh would help us with various strategies and help course correct when someone got astray
3. Ashutosh was just a call away and he would always respond to calls/texts, no matter when I pinged him. He was really invested in my progress and helped me achieve what I did

The course content of e-GMAT is very well curated and covers everything one needs to ace the GMAT. Scholaranium is a wonderful tool to test your ability and track your progress. It has around a 1000 questions in each of Quant and Verbal and each GMAT question type is very well covered. Each question has a detailed solution/explanation and the best part is that it not only provides a detailed explanation for the correct answer choice, but also provides a detailed explanation for each wrong answer choice. One can post one’s queries on each and every question and get a detailed explanation within 24 hours. I am amazed by the level of commitment and knowledge each and every one at e-GMAT has. The analytics available helps you pinpoint your weak areas so that you could go back to the study material to improve.

Just today I was speaking to a colleague about GMAT and when he mentioned that SC was his weak area, I immediately recommended e-GMAT course to him. Such has been the impact e-GMAT had on my prep.

I highly recommend this course to all those who want to crack the GMAT. Right from the course content to the mentors and faculty, e-GMAT is a class apart.

I feel quite happy to write on this forum about my GMAT Journey, which I started in the beginning of 2017. Coming from an engineering background, I was good at quant; However, Verbal remained my Achilles' heel, and I could only reach V29 in my five attempts that I took from 2017 to 2018. With the breakout of Covid-19 in March 2020, I finally decided to give one last shot to GMAT, and this time, I chose e-GMAT for its structured methodology towards acing the GMAT exam.
After a few weeks of enrolling on the e-GMAT platform, I received an email that offered free mentorship for a selected few. My cohort of around 15 people was mentored by Dhananjay(DJ). Not only was DJ able to identify my weak areas but also provided weekly milestones that helped me improve the score linearly as I progressed through the milestones. As an example, For Reading Comprehension, I discussed the articles from 'The Economist' directly with DJ, and he asked me questions that helped me critically evaluate the passages as we read. This process helped me build stamina to read larger passages, and I also reduced my time from over 6 minutes to 3 minutes per passage.
Furthermore, I used to spend more than 2 minutes on almost every Verbal question before I enrolled with e-GMAT, however at the end of 4 months with e-GMAT, my average attempt time was 80 Sec for SC, 105 Sec for CR, and about 110 Sec for RC.
In the three months of my GMAT journey, not only DJ pushed me to do more but also motivated me to put in more effort to realize the dream score. I can also vouch for the e-GMAT platform because I have closely observed how e-GMAT selects its employees. I scored 710 in GMAT, and I can't thank enough to DJ and e-GMAT team enough for helping me reach the desired score.
