The high popularity of the e-GMAT made me choose their course and I have to say it lived up to my expectations. With years of experience, they have developed these courses that are highly functional and extremely streamlined.

Their verbal course is hands down one of the best. GMAT is an exam that tests your logical ability and I believe a strong fundamental approach to logic is needed to tackle GMAT with ease. e-GMAT's teaching methodology relies on the most fundamental things - Meaning based approach for SC and Pre-thinking for CR. With these fundamental approaches in mind, one will be able to handle the toughest questions on GMAT. Not only do they teach these techniques, but they also provide a framework to work on them until they become second nature to you.

The Quant course is more than adequate. This PACE-enabled course helps you navigate the voluminous Quant curriculum quickly by understanding your strengths and abilities in each sub-topic. e-GMAT's questions in Quant are usually tougher than what we see in GMAT/OG but it never hurts to be over-prepared. If you feel Quant is your weaker area, this course helps you a ton.

Scholarium (e-GMAT's test bank portal) understands you better than you understand yourself. With one quick glance, you can understand what your strengths and weaknesses are and focus accordingly. Trusting Scholarium blindly will make your life easier during your GMAT preparation.

The sigma-X mocks are very close in nature to the actual test. They give you a very good understanding of where you stand and what else is needed.

The Last Mile program (e-GMAT's mentorship program) is icing on the cake. This program helps you during your mocks. Each mock is immediately analyzed and they come up with a customized plan just for you until the next mock.

Rida, my mentor, was very helpful and friendly during this journey. She is experienced and understands the ins and outs of GMAT preparation. She was there whenever I needed her. Having an experienced test taker like Rida as your mentor is a huge plus to your GMAT preparation.

I started my GMAT journey in 2021 and like most other people relied on free material available on the internet for my preparation. Solved OG question diligently. Took a few mocks available online and took the GMAT in Nov’21. Scored a 630.

Realised I needed some sort of expert guidance and subscribed to the e-GMAT course after seeing the GMATclub reviews. Fast forward to 6 months and I have a 740 (V39, Q50).

Key takeaways:
Verbal: The specific frameworks taught in each and every aspect of the verbal section are crucial to ace the section. Coming from an engineering background I never had the confidence to tackle the SC questions. The e-GMAT meaning based approach really instilled confidence in me and improved my SC solving abilities significantly. CR was another tricky part and the pre-thinking approach was a gamechanger. Helped me save quite a lot of time during the actual exam. Same with RC. The techniques taught were brilliant.

Quant: Quant has always been my strong part. Still needed some guidance in specific question types like PnC and Probability. The e-GMAT course had a wonderful curriculum and boosted my confidence in those specific topics as well.

The most useful section of the course was the Scholaranium. It is an extremely resourceful tool comprised of question tailored to your needs. The analytics section highlights your strong and weak areas and it really helps to streamline the final preparation. The mocks replicated the actual level of the exam and my final GMAT score was pretty similar to the scores I was scoring in the e-GMAT mocks.

Also signed up for the Last Mile program where Rida monitored my daily progress and provided her inputs. Really helped me in the final lap of the journey.

Kudos to the whole team of e-GMAT for all their efforts!

Happy Learning!

When I started my journey of the GMAT, the biggest challenge for me was the verbal section. I searched for various courses online and decided to enroll in E-GMAT program.

I scored 730 (Q49 V 39) and the whole credit goes to the well-structured program of E-GMAT.
The program teaches me how to get the meaning out of any complex sentence. The meaning-based approach is key to score 700+ score on GMAT.
Some salient features of the course is Meaning based approach & Strategic review that helped me improve all sub-sections of Verbal.
I was confident to tackle any difficult question after the program. E-GMAT mocks are comparable to actual exam in terms of difficulty level.
If the student is already good in quant then PACE feature will also help the student to improve quant in minimum time.

I came across the e-GMAT course through the reviews on the GMAT club and decided to give it a shot. The course was so well-structured and comprehensive that it helped me finish my prep in a little over two months and helped me score a 720 on the first attempt.
I started at a low score (around the 60th percentile) in the quant section. The quant course was so helpful, especially the PACE engine, that quickly helped me identify my weak areas and recommend steps to study, thereby saving a lot of time. I never thought that I would finish my quant prep within a month. The quality of the questions was impeccable; they were a close representation of the actual questions in the exam.
The best part of e-GMAT's verbal section is its SC course. I was introduced to the meaning-based approach, which transformed my SC score. I usually used the elimination technique to differentiate and eliminate a few options, but I quickly realised that it only works on medium-level questions. You must know the meaning-based approach and specific grammar rules to ace hard-level questions. And the course was beneficial in this. The RC reading strategies also helped me significantly reduce my time in reading the passages.
The structured three-stage learning provided by the course and the fantastic guidance by the mentors were a great help as I just had to follow the personalised plan for me. This helped me save a lot of time and put my entire focus on studying rather than planning.
Overall, I would recommend the e-GMAT course to anyone aspiring to score high by understanding concepts and working hard in an efficient manner.

I started out my GMAT journey with E-Gmat and I have no regrets looking back , Quant was a Killer , It so happened that after using e-gmat's quant course I was able to finish my Quant section 15 mins ahead of time with desired accuracy

I have poor test taking skills - Even though I was able to crack on mock tests with higher GMAT score , Panic on the day bought my scores down - Ended up with 710 . For Non native speakers Verbal SC course is very good .

Would like to thank all the mentors in e-gmat who were part of my journey

My journey with E-GMAT started on May'22.

I fell in love with the platform immediately. The platform is super easy to navigate and use. e-GMAT's Scholaranium question bank is one of the best. The platform saves a lot of your time. Maintaining and revising error logs became very convenient.

The platform helped me identify my weak areas and the time I took in each section by providing analysis of all my quizzes.
This analysis was important to me as it gave me new insights and helped me identify where I had to focus more.

e-GMAT's meaning based approach for solving SC questions is the best

I used to take 1minute 45 seconds to 2 minutes to solve an SC question and my accuracy was also not high, but after going through e-GMAT's meaning based approach the average time I took to solve an SC question came down to 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 and half minute and my accuracy also improved a lot across both medium and hard level difficulty questions.

Apart from the course the thing that most impressed me is the support and encouragement they gave.

I requested for a personalized study plan and I was assigned Ms. Rashmi as my mentor.

She gave my preparation a direction and helped me get out of my comfort zone.

She was really concerned about my preparation and kept pushing me to be consistent with my preparation.

Her pep talk and last minute tips before the exam helped me calm my nerves and helped me do well on the exam.

I want to genuinely thank e-GMAT and Ms. Rashmi for being a part of my GMAT journey.

Happy Learning!

Having scored a 640 (Q48, V28) in my first attempt at GMAT after preparing on my own, I knew that I needed to take some preparation course that would set me on the right track and help me achieve my target GMAT score and that’s when E-GMAT came into the picture.

When I was preparing for my first attempt, I thought that the official guides were enough to help me reach the 700 mark. So, I just solved the questions from the OGs and would sometimes randomly look up certain topics on YouTube where some of the top videos that would come up were from E-GMAT. From there, I understood that E-GMAT is a trusted source. Anyway, I wanted to take my first attempt without any external help, and I scored a 640 then.

After that, I explored a bit more about E-GMAT and it seemed like everything I had wanted for GMAT. So I signed up for the course. The things that I liked the most about the course were the personalized approach and the expert guidance that I got throughout my preparation. Every step of the way I was getting constant feedback and corrective measure plans for the areas I was faltering in. Abha Mohan (one of the E-GMAT experts) who was mentoring me made sure that I was not leaving any stone unturned and constantly motivated me to push further.

I also want to break down my learning experience in various sections/subsections:
Sentence Correction: I think I can safely say that this course changed the way I read sentences. The meaning-based approach that E-GMAT teaches compels me to understand the logic behind every sentence.
Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension: These courses taught me to read between the lines and get as much information as can be extracted from a set of sentences.
Quant Section: Starting from the very basics of mathematics to teaching how to tackle difficult and tricky questions, the quant section is divided into various subsections and teaches in a way that does not involve any memorization or shortcuts.

Scholaranium (the E-GMAT question bank) is an extremely resourceful tool that offers carefully selected questions (resembling those that are asked on the real test) that can be accessed through various types of quizzes. The cementing quizzes that are ought to be done after completing each subsection helped me retain my learnings while moving on to the next subsection.

So after preparing for two and a half months, I started with the mocks. And even though I did not perform well on the first 2 mocks and felt demotivated, Abha was there as always to my rescue; she helped me gain my confidence and provided a corrective plan, setting me on the 700+ track.

Then I booked my test date 10 days in advance and just practiced with the already solved questions in the last few days. Through the entire preparation period, I solved 850+ questions from both Verbal and Quant with more than 60% overall accuracy in hard questions. On the test day, I was confident and calm, and as I clicked on the next button to see the final scores I kind of already knew that my hard work had paid off. I scored a 710 with a Q49 and a V38.

All in all I can say that E-GMAT was the best choice I made in my GMAT journey. I had a wonderful experience. I really want to thank Abha Mohan (my mentor) and the whole E-GMAT team for tremendously helping me achieve my target score. I highly recommend E-GMAT to anyone who is looking for a preparation course for GMAT.

Additionally, I would advise that once you take up the course and if you have sufficient time, then don’t rush through the learning part. That’s the most crucial segment and if you do that right you won’t face many problems with the questions later. I wasted a lot of time coming back to certain files again and again. And also make full use of the discussion forum. I wish all the best to anybody who is reading this post. Thank You.

Great course.
Verbal-
The frameworks in CR and RC are instrumental. The sentence correction course structure was fantastic. The way the concept quizzes were created ensured that you would get similar questions of increasing difficulty levels, making it easier to identify areas of improvement. The strategies adopted by egmat are effective and well explained.

Quant-
I went through only a few topics I had faced difficulty with earlier. The EGMAT course helped me clear my doubts and cover all concepts. Also, the PACE feature enables you to trim your course prep to only those topics you have issues with, determined by the diagnostic quiz at the beginning of the module. I used to not tune into quant modules because I used to feel slowed down. Still, the PACE feature helped me focus only on the relevant portions, thereby ensuring I could cover topics faster without the fear of missing concepts.

Mocks- The Mock's UI was similar to the actual GMAT exam, which helped me immensely on the test day. The questions are also well balanced. While I did not score very high on mock tests, those were more because of the gaps in preparations and time management than the EGMAT mocks being unrepresentative of GMAT.

In my opinion, the EGMAT course's outstanding feature is its Scholarinium analytics. The Scholarinium product is data-driven, and I felt that they kept throwing up questions in which my understanding was suspect earlier. The questions are on the tougher side, especially the Hard questions, which help you formulate your concept application strategy. I would recommend everyone to use the dashboard analytically, and when used in tandem with your error log, it can help you dig deeper into your preparation.

All the best on your GMAT preps !!!

I bought the EGMAT online focused course which gives you 2 months' access. Very comprehensive and quite reasonably priced, would strongly recommend this, especially for people who prefer interactive videos to reading off a book.

For quant, EGMAT does a great job of dealing with bite-sized basics and the concurrent practice quizzes help you test yourself on individual concepts in an incredibly precise manner. I followed the course from top to bottom.

For SC, I went through the EGMAT course (~30 hours) - covers everything - verbs, pronouns, modifiers, comparisons, parallelism, and idioms. EGMAT keeps things simple and easy to comprehend, avoiding any unnecessary grammar jargon (which GMAT does not expect you to know either).

I found EGMAT mocks' difficulty level to be quite close to the actual exam.

I've put up a slightly more detailed debrief as a post.

I started my GMAT journey June 2021, yup it took me more than 1 year and four attempt to score a 730.

First attempt in August 2022 : 670
Second Attempt in October 2021 : 700
Third Attempt in March 2022 : 680 :(
Fourth Attempt in July 2022 : 730 :)

So EGMAT technically helped me improve my score by 50 points, I was struggling with SC a lot but EGMAT helped me work on my SC skills, the meaning based approach is perfect. In none of the question I looked at options until I know what the sentence was trying to say and this approach became wired me in mind, I was hitting 90-100% accuracy on SC questions.

CR again I was facing a lot of issues and the questions I used to solve were always repeated since by my third attempt I have solved almost all the official question. EGMAT with its scholarium product brought 100s of new questions and helped me build my brain muscle to understand the CR passage and follow a right path while eliminating the wrong choices.

RC and Quant I didn't use much of EGMAT since I was already at 90th percentile.

I would say go for EGMAT and a tip make sure to connect with a strategic partner and no matter what make sure to share with them your daily progress.
