I have taken up e-gmat self paced course on 12 Aug 2023. I gave my first attempt on Jan 25th 2024 and scored 655. My second attempt was on Mar 21st 2024 and finally achieved my target score of 695.

How I came across e-gmat
I have enquired with a few of my friends and colleagues regarding the best course available in the market. E-gmat was a clear winner with 100% of them voting for it. Without any second thoughts, I went ahead with the same.

My Experience during initial preparation
I would call this as the phase of understanding the requirements of the test and learning the core concepts required to attain proficiency. Their modules in Quant, DI and Verbal were very crisp and to the point. I felt their content and modules are very scientifically designed to exactly meet the test requirements without taking too much of the candidate’s time.
I really commend their PACE module in Quant section which precisely identifies your starting ability and suggests modules which can be safely skipped thus resulting in significant time savings. Another distinguishing feature of e-gmat is their emphasis on structured approach for all quant problems. They strongly discourage teaching any shortcuts in solving the questions. Developing this ability equips you with all the skills needed to solve higher difficulty questions with ease.
Verbal was a challenge for me. Their entire verbal course emphasizes on the most essential skill of comprehension, visualization of argument/passage. Again, they do not recommend any shortcuts. “Master comprehension” module is the backbone for entire verbal course. Pre-thinking approach of e-gmat is a game changer in CR and RC as well. Though I initially felt it to be very time consuming, I slowly realized the ease with which CR questions can be solved once you master this approach.
I started Data Insights section with a lot of speculation after going through other’s experiences. I was very low on confidence initially but by the end of the course I realized that the skill set required to ace DI is a combination of comprehension/visualization techniques mastered in Verbal section plus employing the structured approach mastered in Quant section. At the end of the day I have secured 82 with 94 percentile in DI.

Scholaranium
I would call it a treasure trove. This gives the necessary practice to put the candidate into the test environment, both in terms of difficulty and timed practice, right after learning the concepts. The quality of questions is too good and at the level of final test. Attempting these questions gives a realistic estimate of one’s level of preparation. After each test, the platforms presents the time/performance metrics which are helpful in self-evaluation. This is what they call “strategic review” and plays an important role in identifying and filling the gaps in preparation.

Mentor support/Interaction with team
Before taking up the course, I have heard that e-gmat provides support only through emails/their forum and does not facilitate direct verbal interaction with subject matter experts [SME] and that this is their main drawback.
In my experience, I find that the solutions provided by SME’s on the doubts raised on their forum are very elaborate and leave no room for any further confusion. Things become crystal clear after going through their explanation.
They have a dedicated strategy team who evaluate your account and are happy to suggest plans for improvement. Team has always responded within a day over email for any questions regarding strategy. They address any kind of queries during your preparation. I was not aware of this kind of support until I attended one of their free webinars where this aspect has come up accidentally. It was through these discussions that I interacted with Rida, who was my mentor till the end of my GMAT journey. She was very supportive and readily supported in devising a study plan/ providing extra resources to improve my verbal performance/ detailed analysis of mocks. She was kind enough to offer me scholarship for their prestigious Last Mile Program [LMP]

LMP
I was a part of LMP just before my first attempt but for only 2 weeks. I could not benefit totally from this program as I do not have enough time left before my first attempt. I was not very happy with my score in first attempt. I have communicated the same to the team. Payal has taken over at this point and provided a structured and objective plan with clear targets to put me on the path to my target score of 685 [eventually hit a 695]. She has analysed all my scholaranium attempts/ my first GMAT attempt and provided me with a clear insight into what was going wrong. This was a game-changer for me. I started identifying my faults and rectified one by one.
Her emphasis on visualization, comprehension, translation, and inference have created wonders for me and I landed at a 695 in my second attempt. Though these skills sound very simple and familiar, I have neglected them and did not realise their importance. I always felt I need to master something very complex to move to higher scores. While working on this plan, I realized that GMAT is a simple test that is intelligently designed with many traps. It is these traps that make the test appear as difficult. Her words that “It is not enough if you can see what could be the answer, it is also important to see what are the kind of wrong answers that can be provided” has changed my perspective of looking at every question. Apart from the correct answer, I started seeing the wrong answers and understand the kind of traps that are set in the test.

Free Resources
I have attended their free webinars hosted by Rajat and Payal every week on a wide variety of topics. Though they are offered for free these sessions are content rich and have helped me a lot. There is one particular session of Rajat on Mastering RC where he demonstrated the skill of reading an RC passage like a manager. This has helped me a lot in improving my RC abilities.

Overall, I would say that e-gmat offers the best resources for GMAT preparation alongside having a very competent and a friendly team for support. All the mentors are so supportive and accommodative of any special requirements. If you are ready to give your 100% to your preparation, they leave no stone unturned in ensuring your success. It is this additional human touch that differentiates a good course from a great course.

Strengths:

The video lectures curated are quite good and explain concepts effectively. The question bank is also very diverse and overall comes quite close in difficulty to what I faced on the actual GMAT exam. I was also part of the LMP program where the mentor, Abha was super supportive and helpful in helping me overcome various roadblocks and plan a strategy ahead.

Would make the product better:

Add more number of questions in scholararium.

The course is overall good and quite comprehensive. While looking for a course, I needed something where I could flexibly study on my own as I have a tasking job which makes my general routine quite upset. But I also needed guidance along the way and e-gmat provided exactly that at a very economical rate as well. I faced a lot of roadblocks along my way but discussing it with my mentor always helped me improve my accuracy and strategize in a better way. The question bank provided was also quite close in difficulty to what I faced in the actual exam. The very first mock I took I got just a 515 there but on the final attempt I got 665. I would definitely recommend this course to others preparing for GMAT.

Strengths:

Verbal preparation for this course is excellent. They help you with your basics to mastering advanced-level questions. The same applies to the DI section as well. They have created interactive videos to help you learn how to tackle MSR and CR questions.

The preparatory course I took for the GFE was outstanding and provided a comprehensive range of high-quality study materials and mock tests. The course was meticulously designed to cover all aspects of the exam, and the depth of the resources available greatly contributed to my understanding and readiness. Additionally, the support team was exceptionally helpful; they were quick to respond to any queries I had and provided detailed assistance through the portal. My mentor played a crucial role in my preparation as well, offering invaluable guidance in developing effective study plans and strategies. Their support was instrumental in helping me enhance my performance on the GMAT, making the entire preparation process more manageable and effective.

Strengths:

Egmat provides a comprehensive platform to ace the gmat exam. They have a variety of questions in quant and verbal and learning materials that aid in understanding the concepts very clearly.

Would make the product better:

Questions on quant could be a bit more similar to Official guide . The quant section of Egmat prepares you for the worst so it is quite on the difficult side.

Egmat offers an amazing gmat prep course which helped me get a good score on the gmat. Their tricks and tips on quant are very handy and can save you a lot of time on the exam. I also got the opportunity to work with Dhruv who was my mentor in their LMP program.
He gave me personalised insights to action upon. They provide a good study plan as well. In addition to that their mocks are very reliable and a but on the tougher side . So if you get a good score in their locks then you can certainly ace the gmat. Verbal and DI sections were amazing as well. Overall it is a great course and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to ace the Gmat exam.

Strengths:

I found that the egmat course is very balanced. It will not over inform and confuse you but take you through every concept very diligently just enough to score well in the test. The video lessons are very interactive and the text explanations are as good as the video lessons. Also, the experts guide directly through various online workshops. The team is very prompt and responsive in case of any query. All the queries that i have posted till now, I have received a response within 24 hours.
The mock tests that they provide, very closely simulate the actual test experience, especially the user interface part and the type of questions.

I strongly recommend egmat course. It is a very effective medium of learning and the whole ecosystem of this course is student oriented. I have had experience with Magoosh too but i found this course way way better. The questions, video lessons, mock test, text explanation, responsive team, are just excellent.

Strengths:

The biggest strength of e-GMAT,
1. VERBAL and DI. Don't think anyone is there in the market with a better package of Verbal than e-GMAT.
2. Its huge collection of questions.
3. Creating test center like environment with help of their cementing section.

Would make the product better:

e-GMAT is perfect from every angle. I will just have one small advice for them, make the website a little more optimized for phones or tabs, as the videos sometimes refused to load. Also a mobile application for e-GMAT would be an icing on the cake.

The biggest strength of e-GMAT is its verbal and DI section. They have few excellent strategies to ace the verbal section. For DI, they have a invaluable collections of DI questions covering each and every types. The collections of problems for Quant, Verbal and DI are huge and those questions actually resembles the GMAT FOCUS question types. When I first started the course, I still remember the score I got in my 1st official mock. It was 575. To regain my confidence back and choose the e-GMAT was probably my best decision ever. In the journey form being very weak in verbal to get a 99 percentile in that, e-GMAT played the most important part.

Strengths:

- Personalised strategy review- My mentor was Abha, and she was key for me to understand my areas of improvement, schedule my practice sessions and how I should prepare with a day to day plan and tracking progress.

- PACE Engine- This engine is exceptional to understanding your existing skill level and pace your curriculum accordingly. This feature in E- gmat helped me save many weeks off my preparation!

- Question Bank- Comprehensive question bank with AI powered analysis for custom tests.

Would make the product better:

- Approaches to solve questions in quantitative ability could be refined to short circuit the problem and solve the questions quickly.

I took 2 attempts on the GMAT Focus to reach to a 705 in my second attempt (with the first being a 655). It took me 3.5 months to reach my target score of 685+. In my first month, most of my time was dedicated to the course videos present in the e-gmat course and the rest of the 2 months were focussed on exam strategy and timing management. E-gmat's personalised mentorship was a gamechanger for me as I was given much important direction to build a solid strategy and identify areas of improvement comprehensively. My mock scores in official mocks ranged from 665 to 715, with most of the scores between 695-705. On the test day, I followed the sectional order of Q,DI,break, VR. I wasnt able to solve the first question on the QA and ended up spending 6 minutes initially on it. However, the rest of the questions were fairly easy, hence I was left with 12 minutes spare post completion of the section to return to the first question and edit it to the correct answer. The DI and VR section was fairly smooth. The E-gmat scholararium was key to facilitate necassary practice to master every GMAT topic!

Strengths:

- Verbal and DI sections.
- Scholaranium.
- Step by step process with a clear structure.
- Personalized support.

Would make the product better:

The only area that could be improved is that some Quant questions differ slightly from the actual test, as they have longer statements, but this does not detract from the content's adequacy in preparing for the test.

I highly recommend e-GMAT as a test preparation course. I particularly emphasize the Verbal section, which was incredibly helpful in achieving a high score, especially considering that English is not my native language. The Quant and DI sections are also excellent, and the way the material is taught is ideal for learning step by step, following a very clear structure. Additionally, the Scholaranium is very useful for practicing and tracking your learning progress and results.

Moreover, I greatly appreciate the personalized attention from the e-GMAT team, who are always available to resolve doubts and monitor the study process. It was truly positive to have that personalized support. In this regard, the Last Mile Push was extremely helpful in wrapping up the preparation and focusing on the final details that needed to be corrected to face the test successfully. During this stage, Rida provided exceptional support, being very attentive to the doubts and concerns that arose.

Strengths:

The approach is well focused

The content is trustworthy and helps a student from scratch. The topic based development is appreciable. One can expect good and genuine support for the team. The team works hard for the students so that they can reach the goal. The question bank matches/surpasses the standards of GMAT Focus test. The cementing quizzes give a good flavour of actual test. The videos are engaging and discusses every option at length. Further there are complimentary test access to GMAT Club. In a way it is pocket friendly and surpasses the standards of certain leading Indian coaching centers. However please note that GMAT as a test demands some basic skills in quant and verbal without which no coaching can help you. GMAT also tests how fast you can implement your skills. It also demands lot of practice and dedication. e-GMAT team ensures that you are practicing hard.

Strengths:

The strengths of the product includes:
1) The adaptive nature of the course in quant ( Saves a lot of time )
2) From all the different mocks I have given, I felt the one which E-Gmat provides gives the best estimate of the score you might get at the actual exam.
3) The course structure is well made with many questions so that one remembers what he/she has learned.
4) The mentoring service which the LMP program provides gives structure to your preparation so that you know exactly where to focus.

I liked the product overall so I don't have any pointers on where to improve as such, once you go through it you will understand 😁

Hi, My name is Abin Selby and I recently scored a score of 675 on the focus edition (Q84,V84,DI82) with the help of E-Gmat LMP program. Do I would like to post my experience here so as to help other students who are in similar position as me.

I had started this course on 9th March 2024 and through the LMP program I was assigned my mentor Rashmi Ma'am without whom I wouldn't have been able to get the score I got. Now like most Indians my quant was strong (though didn't get what I expected in the test :/) my verbal was weak, and to add to that, with my busy schedule at work I was away from studies for a long time. So after my first mock with E-Gmat (I scored 615) I connected with Rashmi Ma'am wherein she guided me through my report and highlighted places to improve on. She then made me a personalized plan to follow so as to increase my score. Now for 2 months in between I wasn't able to study due to work and even with that she believed that I could get a good score with a month in hand. That's what propelled me to focus even more on Gmat and here we are with a score of 675😁 (96th Percentile) a 60 POINT IMPROVEMENT.
Now that might not seem like a lot for some people but I am happy with it and this wouldn't have been possible for me without E-Gmat.
I hope this helps atleast a few people 😁😁

Peace ✌️
