PACE Engine, Cementing Quizzes, Course Structure, LMP Program

Would make the product better:

Everything about the course is great!

If I had one suggestion, it would be to ask them to provide extension at a discounted price :-)

If people are extending the course, it already means that they are going through a tough mental phase. A discounted price could ease their financial worries atleast a little bit. Provided that they still want to continue with eGMAT, I think an extension at a discounted price is a win-win.

As an engineer transitioning to management, I found e-GMAT to be the perfect solution for my GMAT preparation. The course's structure and personalized approach were instrumental in my 60-point improvement, from 615 to 675.
The PACE engine was a standout feature, saving me over 45 hours by customizing content based on my initial abilities. This allowed me to focus on areas that truly needed improvement, making my study time incredibly efficient.
e-GMAT's cementing quizzes were pivotal in solidifying my understanding across all sections. The Scholaranium platform's diverse question bank and detailed analytics helped me identify and address weak areas, particularly in Verbal and Data Insights.
The course's approach to Critical Reasoning, emphasizing pre-thinking, was transformative. It boosted my confidence in eliminating wrong options and significantly improved my accuracy on hard questions.
The Last Mile Push program provided invaluable structure and guidance. The personalized study plan and weekly mentorship calls kept me focused and accountable, which was crucial given my long preparation journey.
e-GMAT's mock tests were more challenging than the actual GMAT, preparing me for the worst-case scenario. The detailed post-mock analysis tools helped me refine my strategies and timing.
Even with limited time for Data Insights preparation, e-GMAT's comprehensive Quant and Verbal training enabled me to score well in this new section.
Overall, e-GMAT's data-driven approach, comprehensive content, and personalized support were key to my GMAT success. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone serious about achieving their target GMAT score.

As someone who started my GMAT journey with a 585 and ultimately achieved a 715 (99th percentile), I can confidently say that e-GMAT played a crucial role in my success. The structured approach of their course made a significant difference, especially in areas where I initially struggled.
The verbal section, where I scored a V87 (99th percentile), was greatly enhanced by e-GMAT's methods. Their emphasis on pre-thinking and systematic approaches to Critical Reasoning questions was particularly helpful. For Reading Comprehension, their visualization techniques were game-changers.
In Quant, where I improved from a Q79 to Q86, e-GMAT's focus on identifying and addressing specific weaknesses was invaluable. Their vast question bank and the intelligent Pace Engine helped me prioritize my study time effectively.
The Data Interpretation section, where I scored a DI83 (96th percentile), benefited from e-GMAT's diverse practice questions and strategic time management tips.
What sets e-GMAT apart is their holistic approach. The error log system they advocate was instrumental in tracking my progress and identifying patterns in my mistakes. Their mock tests closely mirrored the actual GMAT, preparing me well for the real thing.
The mentoring support, especially from Dhruv, was exceptional. His guidance helped me stay focused and motivated throughout my preparation.
For anyone aiming for a top GMAT score, I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT. Their comprehensive resources, coupled with personalized support, make them an excellent choice for GMAT preparation.

Strengths:

Personalization - Identifying strengths and weaknesses and planning accordingly.
Scholaranium - Question and Test Bank
LMP - Mentor Assistance

I had a 710 (89th - Q50 V35) on the Classic GMAT. I wanted an improvement in scores while applying to schools this year. I was considering multiple prep providers before zeroing in on e-GMAT. I think the pricing was better as well compared to the other courses I looked at.

One thing that I was definitely looking for was a structured approach to learning across sections, and glad to say I was pretty satisfied with what e-GMAT offered.
It starts off with a mock test to analyze your strengths and weaknesses - the learning plan is made accordingly. I also took the LMP Option as I thought it would be more focused and dedicated, with a mentor to guide me better.

Some context : At first, I was fairly confident on my Quant and DI, and thought I needed help only with verbal. But the mocks made me realize otherwise - after a couple of mocks, I found that my speed in DI was not good enough. And my plan was made accordingly as well.

I’d attribute my entire verbal score increase (74th to 94th percentile) to this course. I was able to learn almost all CR concepts and techniques to tackle both CR and RC questions through the video lessons. The cementing quizzes were particularly helpful in my verbal prep. My mentor Rida, also helped identify and prioritize specific focus areas in verbal.

I was parallelly able to work on my DI speeds as well through the cementing quizzes. The best part about cementing quizzes is that you can customize the difficulty and timing - helps in understanding where the problem lies.

While I was hoping for a 725/735, I guess after a point you can’t really control what happens in the exam room.

Overall, the course really helped in identifying my strengths and weaknesses, and in having a focused preparation strategy.

Strengths:

- Scholaranium with excellent set of questions
- Course structure
- PACE platform which can adjust course completion timing based on pre-acquired skills

- The number of questions can be increased (the more the better)

My name is Akhil Agrawal and I completed my first GMAT focus attempt on 20th September 2024 with a score of 685. I did my preparation through e-GMAT team. When I started my preparation, I had decent understanding of the Quant (because of my engineering back ground) but I lacked the ability to tackle verbal questions from their root. I did not have much familiarity with the Data Interpretation section. Additional hurdle for me was my rustiness in handling competitive exams after being not involved in one for 10 years. Quant being my strength helped me get a decent score in the test mock and I got enrolled into the Last Mile Push program of e-GMAT. This turned out be very helpful as I was assigned a dedicated mentor, who guided me throughout my GMAT journey. She prepared a detailed work plan, helped me with analysis of my quiz results and suggested relevant improvement points. Additionally, she kept regular checks on me and suggested right strategies which proved instrumental in my overall GMAT success.

The 3 most critical areas where e-GMAT team helped me are as follows:
- Solidify my conceptual ability in Verbal: Earlier, I used to rush while reading RCs (to save time) and never understood the how to tackle the reasoning in CR questions. The e-GMAT verbal course is designed beautifully from basics and provides the right tools to handle these challenges. I got good clarity in tackling CR questions and utilized effective reading strategies. This also gave me a boost of morale in Verbal, which I always considered as my weakness.
- Time managing and Exam sequence strategies – The median timings mentioned in solutions give a very nice reference point for start. However, each person needs to design his/her own strategy. One of my weaknesses was to get stuck on a question (especially in Quant) without letting it go. This was very detrimental for overall result. I will give a lot of credit to my e-GMAT mentor who pushed me hard to overcome this weakness. Additionally, she altered my exam sequence pattern which straight away gave me a boost of 20-30 points.
- Practice Quizzes & Mock exams – Scholaranium has really good quality questions. If utilized properly, it can help in robust preparation for the exam. The course is designed to first learn the concept and then cement them properly so they remain lasting without very regular practice as well. Additional feature of scholaranium is generating custom full section as well as topic-based quizzes with very good analysis. Overall Scholaranium is a great platform to practice and get prepared for GMAT.

I also utilized the GMAT focus section tests as well as the huge question bank on GMAT club for my preparation. A few tips that I would like to give to GMAT aspirants is that time management is very critical – my observation has been that leaving even a question un-attempted has a very big penalty which brings down the score drastically. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised how change of sequence of sections can also create a good difference in final GMAT score. Changing my usual pattern from Q-V-DI to Q-DI-V proved to be very helpful. Additionally, the free official mock tests on mba.com are quite simple in compared to the actual exam. So, be careful in judging yourself just based on the 2 free mock tests.

Strengths:

1. Focused Approach
2. Questions similar to Actual GMAT
3. Interactive modules
4.Supportive experts

According to my experience, e-GMAT provides the best content to reach the desired score. The preparation flow is very focused and prepares for every type of question. When I decided to attempt the GMAT, I did a lot of research to find the best course, watched reviews on YouTube, read different opinions of people on GMAT Club, and so on. Acting on the collected data, I decided to go ahead with e-GMAT. The day I purchased the course, I gave my first mock test. It was a Sigma Mock by e-GMAT, and I scored 515. This was well below my expectations.
Based on the mock test, the study planner on e-GMAT prepared a study plan for me. My weakest topic was Critical Reasoning, which was dragging down my score in the Verbal section. After completing the Master Comprehension module, which was itself like a crash course of what we studied in school, I came across the Critical Reasoning module. The way it is structured is wonderful. Instead of videos, there are interactive modules, which are very helpful in understanding the approach. I found the Pre-Thinking concept especially helpful. The expert faculty of e-GMAT conduct lectures, too. There are concept files that teach you the topic, followed by practice modules, and my favorite, the GMAT Skills module. The questions in these modules are very similar to those on the GMAT. Further, The Scholaranium contains all the types of questions required according to difficulty levels. I created custom quizzes, too, to practice different types of questions.
I am strong in Quant, and hence it was not a problem for me in terms of concepts, but I struggled with silly mistakes. I improved my performance, but I still was not able to get all correct. For the Data Insights section, I found that the questions were very similar to the actual exam, making you less prone to surprises. With all the solid preparation and support from e-GMAT sessions and modules, after around two months, I gave my GMAT and scored a 625 (Q82, V82, DI 79). I was not satisfied with the score, as I wanted to score at least 645, which is equivalent to 700 on the GMAT Classic, and would put me in the competitive score category.
So, I decided to appear for the GMAT again. This time, I was offered to join the LMP program of e-GMAT. Ms.Rida Shafeek was assigned as my mentor. She analyzed my score report and assured me that my target score was indeed possible. She even said that I could score much higher than 645 and set my target score at 695. She prepared my study plan, keeping my weaknesses in focus. As I progressed, I could see that my performance was getting better. I gave the official mock and scored 695. I was very happy with that performance. After completing the study plan, I gave the final mock and scored 715. This reassured me that I was ready for the test.
Now comes the test day. I entered the testing room with a little nervousness, yet very confident. I chose the order as Quant-Verbal-Data Insights. I attempted the Quant section and was quite satisfied with my performance, and the same with Verbal. But then came the Data Insights section. Everything went fine up to the 12th question. There was an MSR set, and I could not understand it properly. I took so much time and still could not attempt the questions. I realized very late that I had wasted 15 minutes on that very set!
As soon as this realization set in, I tried to cover the remaining questions as fast as I could, but they were still taking time. I tried to go faster, but in the end, I had to just mark some questions and move on to avoid the penalty for missing questions.
I scored 645 (Q84, V84, DI78) in that attempt. Even though it was much lower than my expectations, I took a sigh of relief. If I had not wasted that much time on that one question, I could have scored higher. But I decided to go ahead with this score as I wanted to apply in the first round and could not give it another try.
I would strongly recommend the e-GMAT course to anyone who wants to appear for the GMAT examination. Also, I strongly suggest letting go of any question that takes too much time—it costed me 20-30 points.

Strengths:

This product is very comprehensive, with a logical learning approach that can consolidate the knowledge. On top of that, the cementing feature allowed me to get used to and comfortable with exam environment,

Would make the product better:

I think the product is very good, probably introducing an APP version as studying on the web browser on mobile can be a bit difficult sometimes. But these are very minor issues.

This platform has been extremely useful for me. I had taken my first test relied solely on self-studying, while I did achieve a 645 in the focus edition, I realised that I hit a wall in terms of my progression.

As a result, after some research I have found this platform, This platform helped me to fill a lot of knowledge gaps that I was unable to identify during self-study, which significantly consolidated my foundation and reduce a lot of silly mistakes during the test. On top of that, Rida, one of the GMAT strategist has been extremely helpful throughout my 1 month preparation, as she provided a comprehensive studying plan for me, and provided a lot of mental supports as the preparation process can be long and exhausting.

Overall I am very happy with my grades given the short amount of time I had, and I believed with the time anyone put on the platform, they will definitely get the return and see significant improvement.

Context:
My first GMAT mock score was 505, and I knew that I would need a program, that would give me the necessary skill sets to reach the mountain top.
I knew my weakness is the VERBAL section, and was looking for a course that would help me gradually build up key skillsets and was affordable.
I shortlisted a couple of courses and tested a couple of them on their trial versions. Once I experienced e-gmat’s course I immediately knew it was the one. The course was structured, had a good reputation and was affordable. I even attended a couple of webinars held by Rajat and Payal and was immediately impressed.

For those who want quick tips / best practices for GMAT prep, I have listed my top 3 below:
Make sure to classify your errors in your error log and also any additional comments (such as Why did I falter or Why did I take so long or Correction Steps) should be as descriptive as possible.
Don’t worry if a strategy does not work for you, instead research for other strategies that best fit you.
Our brain works best in its most calm state, knowing how to get to that state is very important. For me, taking a deep breath for 5 seconds really helped me.
Be perfect in a section before moving to the next during preparation.
For those looking for details into my Preparation Strategy and D-Day Experience I have provided them below:

Preparation Strategy:
I prepared for GMAT in the following sections order one by one: VERBAL / QUANT / DI
I followed e-gmat’s detailed study plan, completed the cementing quizzes and also worked on the OG Questions before moving on to the next section.
A couple of tips from e-GMAT which really resonated with me were:

For Verbal:
Pre-thinking possible answers for RC Questions.
Mastering Reading Comprehension, by pausing at various points, to try to assimilate what that sentence meant and what is its relation with the content mentioned previously.
For Quant:
Making inferences of statements mentioned in the question stem.
For DI:
Understanding / Owning the dataset by taking small examples and making 1-2 observations
Calculating various values such as means, variance etc. from graphs quickly.

Post my preparation, I worked on my accuracy in e-gmat's scholaranium, trying to reach the 90% accuracy in medium questions and hard questions as well. Every mistake I made was logged in the Error log (provided by e-gmat) in a descriptive manner to truly understand what my mistake was.

I gave 10 Full length Mocks with different combinations of sectional orders, to see how my progress was and take the required steps to make any correction to my process, or mannerisms when writing the test. I noticed I was consistently doing well in QUANT, however, there were many peaks and valleys in my VERBAL and DI scores.

I realized I was taking too long to answer Verbal Questions especially CR which gave me very little time to complete questions in the end with good accuracy. For verbal, I created a document on the types of traps GMAT commonly used and was actively looking for these traps in the options. Similarly for DI, I realized I was taking too much time in answering MSR questions. To manage my time, I referred to the "Timing Strategies page" on the GMAT Club forum, and followed the processes mentioned in it. These changes in my strategy made very large improvements in my score.

My final 2 mocks I managed to score 655 and I found that my best results came when I attempted in QUANT-DI-VERBAL order. I felt the reason for this was QUANT was my best section, and it gave me the necessary boost to attempt the remaining sections with confidence. I kept VERBAL for last just after the 10 minute break, so as to avoid mental fatigue and bad decision making.

D-Day Experience:

On the day of my exam, I attempted a few easy questions, before giving the actual exam so as to get my confidence high and hit the ground with an active state of mind.

During the exam, I felt confident and calm. As I expected, QUANT went well for me, and I managed to get only 3 wrong answers. However, DI section hit me like a train, I felt that I was getting lost in thoughts and started taking longer than normal, after 5 questions I knew if I kept going in this manner my performance would not be good. So, I took 5 seconds, to recuperate my focus by taking a deep breath and got back into the game.
With this a switch turned on and I started answering questions more quickly and faster. Finally, I managed to get 15/20 questions right.

I took my 10-minute break and prepared myself for the VERBAL section mentally and physically. When I got back, I quickly created a grid to help me not look back at options I had rejected on solid grounds. After every 5 questions I would quickly review how my progress was and make sure necessary corrections were made in the next 5 questions. I knew I was lacking time to complete 4 questions in 5 minutes, so I randomly put 4 answers to, and I made sure to answer 3 out of 4 of these questions properly, by changing their answer post submission. Finally, I got 17/23 questions right.

I was elated when I saw my provisional score and I knew that it was time to celebrate. I want to thank everyone from the e-gmat team for their immense support and prompt attention to all my queries.

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:

- Value for money (of the most affordable programs out there)
- Last Mile Push (LMP) program which provides a personal mentor to create a full-fledged journey for your prep based on the Target Score, and solve any doubts regarding your score improvements, last minute strategy etc. My mentor, Rida helped me create a study plan, stick to it with regular check-ins, analyze mocks and understand how to tackle my weak-spots in Quant just days before the exam.
- Highly structured, step-by-step curriculum so that you don't feel lost at any stage
- Extensive scholaranium with a rich question bank
- Cementing Stage i.e. after the concept giving 5 tests (2 Medium, 3 Hard) really help to "cement" the specifics of the concept so that you do not forget it even if you come back to it after a month
- Quant section's Diagnostic Tests help you understand which topics you are quite adept at, before even starting it so that you can skip specific concepts, and just move straight to the Quizzes. Helped me save a lot of time!

Would make the product better:

- Course structure can benefit from more questions on the Hard side. Since when we get to the Practice Exams / Mocks etc, questions are harder than the ones experienced while practicing for the concept

E-GMAT proved to be a great resource for someone like me, who was giving the GMAT for the first time, and was looking for a step-by-step introduction to the exam itself.
Plus, if you are a person who is looking for some personal guidance, and accountability while studying and someone to course-correct you during the critical time in your prep, then opt for the E-GMAT Last Mile Push Program, to get the benefit of a GMAT expert mentor.
Give one of their mocks as a Diagnostic so that it can help you foresee your strong and weak areas before starting your preparation.

Strengths:

1. Detailed course work - the concepts, application and the entire flow of the course is very structured. Features like PACE, Scholaranium, Cementing quizzes are extremely helpful through the course.
2. Very much similar questions in DI and Verbal to the actual test.
3. Personalized mentor to guide and structure your preparation

Would make the product better:

1. A few more questions required in DI - but recently eGMAT team has added 50 sectionals which was not there in my preparation time.

eGMAT course is one of the most trusted resources in GMAT preparation. The coursework is extremely detailed and the process skills built in a step by step format is very helpful in slowly building up the ability in every topic tested.
Scholaranium which is a repository of practice questions is one of the best features where you can see a improvement in your abilities as well as practice and review the incorrect questions as many times as you like. Cementing quizzes after every module is a great tool to apply the process skills and get to the 70%+ accuracy lecels in medium and hard questions. Lastly, the LMP program with a dedicated mentor helps you take the last leap to the end where you get guidance on the exact weak areas to improve and get your desired score. All in all, I was very happy to reach a 96 percentile after spending almost over 6 months with eGMAT.
