Strengths:

- Highly personalized and easy-to-follow course structure, which caters to every student's requirement
- Carefully curated questions that deal with a diverse range of topics, covering almost everything that is tested in the GMAT exam

I started my GMAT prep 6 months ago after purchasing E-GMAT's Intensive Course and I can say that it was the catalyst, which helped me in getting a 675 score in the GMAT Focus edition.

Through the E-GMAT course, I was able to familiarize myself with all the topics tested in the GMAT examination in a personalized, self-paced, and convenient manner. Detailed concept files and comprehensive practice quizzes helped me get a top-to-bottom understanding of every concept. Moreover, the cementing quizzes (provided after completing all concept files concerning a topic), played a key role in repeatedly reinforcing the learned topic, especially when I would focus on other subject areas during my prep. The questions provided in the concept lessons as well as the ones tested in the quizzes and the mock tests are at a comparable (and sometimes above) the level of the actual GMAT exam, which also helped me understand the level of difficulty and the scoring system associated with the exam, helping me boost my confidence before the exam day.

Finally, the personalized guidance provided by my mentor was a real game changer as I got a 360-degree view of my strengths and weaknesses, which I leveraged to strategize my prep, just a few days before the exam.

The GMAT exam is not an ordinary exam, it requires complete subject-matter understanding, undivided attention, shrewd strategizing as well as personalized guidance, and the E-GMAT Intensive course is one of the only courses that effectively provides all these features. Hence, it is an invaluable resource for anyone starting their prep to achieve their target GMAT score.

Overall, I highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone serious about achieving a significant score improvement. Their structured approach, combined with top-notch resources and expert guidance, made all the difference for me.

Strengths:

- Great availability of resources
- Great mentor support
- Effective methodology (especially filling knowledge gaps at first and then practicing)

Would make the product better:

- More time-efficient options (esp. for people without much time to prepare)
- More clarity on how to follow the Study Plan
- More tips on Quant on alternative ways to face problems (e.g. choice elimination)

Methodology
- Simply put, the methodology consists of learning content for each sub-module (e.g. CR), practicing this content to reinforce learnings (called “Cementing”), and then practicing all parts of each module together (e.g. Verbal)
-In my opinion, this works quite well, especially in cases like mine where I had no idea what was tested on the GMAT. With this, I could fill all “knowledge gaps” I had on each topic and reinforce the new learnings before moving on to the next one
-As a con, this approach followed to the letter may not be the most time-efficient, so those with less time available probably would need to adapt it. Also, I would’ve liked more focus on tips for facing the test (e.g., solve some Quant questions by choice analysis or other shortcuts, practice on timing and skipping, etc.)
-For Verbal questions, learning was based on "Pre-thinking", which is basically doing specific reasoning (depending on the type of question) before reading and selecting choices. In my experience, these strategies were valuable in the first stage of learning, although in my particular case I had to adapt them quite a bit for the real exam: as in my case I have some difficulties with English, I needed more time to read and understand the texts, and if I developed the complete pre-thinking then I spent too much time per question; as I could not improve this much, I developed a "simplified" pre-thinking in which my focus was on understanding the logical thread of the arguments. Basically, I would recommend doing these pre-thinkings at the beginning to reinforce learning, but then practicing to find the optimal distribution of time between reading the text, pre-thinking and reading/analysis of alternatives
-The platform also teaches some reading strategies that can be helpful in Verbal, especially in RC. In my case, it was difficult to apply them all and always, but I think that having some in mind helps improve reading speed and comprehension (practice them is key)

Resources
- In my opinion, the strongest point of e-GMAT. You can find both the material to learn and a good set of questions to practice, as well as 5 mocks (I took 4/5, and I consider that they were of pretty good quality). In addition, together with the e-GMAT subscription you are entitled to a few months of GMAT Club quizzes, which I found to be an excellent complement
- As a con, I think sometimes questions are more “complex” than in the real exam (e.g., in Quant, some Hard questions are too long, while in the real exam I found hard questions to be “trickier” rather than longer). For this reason, in my case it was useful to complement the study with the GMAT Focus Edition Official Guide (you can find OG questions in GMAT Club too).

Support
- With your e-GMAT subscription you are assigned a mentor, and in my case, my mentor was of great help for my improvement since she helped me define concrete actions based on my results. I would recommend being proactive in seeking help from your mentor, given that I found the base resources (like the study plan) quite generic
- I would also like to mention that I was part of The Last Mile Program, which consists of having a more personalized plan and greater follow-up by your mentor. I consider both points to have been very important towards the end of my study since, as I mentioned before, my mentor was developing specific action plans based on how I was doing, and the continuous follow-up also forced me to be more consistent in my study

I hope this review is useful. Good luck in learning and preparing!!­

Strengths:

Great strategies to tackle the Verbal Reasoning section - both Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension.

Would make the product better:

All is good.

I had been struggling with the Verbal Reasoning section of the GMAT, but this course provided the help I needed. The detailed strategies they offer were instrumental in tackling the challenging Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension questions. The cementing quizzes and extensive question bank were helpful, as they not only exposed me to a wide variety of question types but also helped me recognize and understand the different traps set by the GMAT question writers. This practice significantly improved my analytical abilities and confidence.

One of the standout features for me was the focus on specific methods like the ABC test, the negation test, and pre-thinking. These techniques transformed the way I approached Critical Reasoning questions, making them much more manageable and less intimidating.

Additionally, the concept videos and quizzes were great in building a solid foundation in Quantitative Reasoning. The explanations were clear and thorough, ensuring that I grasped each concept fully before moving on to more complex topics. This structured approach helped reinforce my learning and allowed me to progress steadily.

Overall, this course offered a comprehensive and well-rounded preparation for the GMAT, and I believe it is definitely worth the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their GMAT scores, particularly if they struggle with Verbal Reasoning as I did.

Strengths:

The structured approach they provide to approach all three sections is amazing. Their cementing quiz system makes you stay in the lane and refine your skillset once you've learned the content.

DI is a new section added to the GMAT FE, so the questions and content on how to approach them are limited, but the tips and tricks taught for MSR, GI&TA, and TPA help you overcome the initial hurdle of solving and understanding questions in time.

I bought the E-gmat course in December as I was struggling with my quantitative and verbal. The course is well structured and provides you with pertinent analytics to track your progress as you progress through the modules.

I'm impressed by the repository of questions they have, which makes practicing very easy.
I was part of the LMP program, so I was assigned a mentor who would help me track my progress and guide me in the right direction when I had to refine my weaker sections.

All in all, I would highly recommend E-Gmat, but I would also suggest giving it your 100% as the content is vast and intense.

Like most other prep websites and resources, mock tests difficulty is above the offical mocks and exam.

Hi everyone,

I recently took the GMAT FE Exam and scored a 695! I wanted to share my prep journey with eGMAT as a working professional.

The Journey:
I purchased eGMAT's 4-month access in January as I planned to take my exam in April. I took a fresh mock to benchmark myself and scored a 585 before starting my prep. While I intended to start in January, due to workload and personal issues, I couldn't get much done in January and February.

In March, I made a study plan using eGMAT's automated Planner with scores from my mocks as inputs to chart a complete pathway for my prep. This is where the course really helped me, especially in my weakest (now strongest) areas like CR, Quant - Algebra, and DI - MSR. Thanks to its streamlined structure, I was able to complete my prep by the end of March. Cementing Quizzes, Concept videos, and Expert support were essential for my preparation. After completing my preparation of each section and topic, I took my first official mock and scored 675 – a 90-point improvement from just the prep itself. In the last two weeks, I focused mainly on solving a ton of questions from OG and eGMAT's scholarium. I took three additional mocks with scores ranging from 645 to 685.

As I was in my final few days before the Exam, I was still scoring very randomly in CR from 30th to 80th, and I didn't seem to break through this roadblock. This is where revisiting concept videos helped to reimagine and correct my approach for CR, which ultimately helped me to get a 100th in CR on the official Exam! For Quant, I was pretty decent from the start, so it helped me to cut short my prep time to four weeks, but I always got a couple of questions incorrect on mocks and practice tests. So I took some more cementing quizzes in relaxed mode to understand that my main flaw was around missing a couple of details/traps. I came up with a QC approach for each question to double-check every answer on Quant, ultimately helping me to score a Q90! For DI, I believe eGMAT Scholarium is an excellent reflection of the real GMAT questions, and I just relied on them for my overall prep.

Tips for Test Takers:
1. Practice makes perfect: Especially in Quant. There are only certain kinds of questions GMAT throws at you, so prepare them well.
2. Quality Checks are important to avoid traps: Quant and DI are full of traps, so it's important that you read the question correctly and just have a quick 10-15 second check for the answer.
3. Bookmarking: Helpful in Quant/Verbal. Please avoid in DI. Only bookmark a maximum of three questions per section.
4. Navigating test anxiety: The real exam might seem harder to some folks (including me), but it's important to understand that if it seems hard to you, then you're probably scoring well! Don't overthink it! Treat it like any other mock and manage to take breaks well to re-energize during the exam.

Reflecting on my journey, I'm grateful for the support of eGMAT's resources and mentors for helping me get one step closer to a top B-School. I hope my experience and tips serve as a helpful guide for others preparing for the GMAT FE Exam. Best of luck to all!

Strengths:


• Scholaranium
• Master Comprehension
• Pre-Thinking in CR, Meaning based approach in SC
• Last Mile Push program

Would make the product better:

Including the option to watch the videos at an increased speed will save prep time

Thanks to e-GMAT, I went from a 580 (Sigma Mock) score to a GMAT 730. I am an orthodontist by profession and after years of dentistry, getting back into the examination mode was an uphill task. However, the mentorship I received from the e-GMAT team helped me achieve a 730 on the GMAT.

Improvement in Verbal Section:
I followed the personalized study plan which was based on my diagnostic quiz results and my current skill set. After going through the concepts file I went ahead with the diagnostic and cementing quizzes. I improved from V 31 to V 41 in verbal.
Reading Comprehension (RC) - Master Comprehension ably guides students about the importance of strategic pausing and following a structure-based approach. Both of these, according to me, are prerequisites for nailing hard RC passages. Mastering this approach made a significant difference in my performance.
Critical Reasoning – On the suggestion of the mentors at e-GMAT, I followed the process of pre-thinking and was surprised to find out that I could solve most CR questions in under 1.5 minutes. I attribute my improved score majorly to adopting the process of pre-thinking. It helped me navigate through the tricky questions that the GMAT is known for, saving me precious time and making me avoid traps, especially in the harder questions.
Strategy for Sentence Correction –
I cannot emphasize enough on the importance of following the Meaning Based Approach in Sentence Correction (SC). I lot of right answers in GMAT sound awkward and relying on what sounds right isn't going to help much. Following the meaning-based approach, on the other hand, made me more efficient at avoiding grammatically correct wrong answers.

Improvement in Quant Section:
PACE tailors the course to the individual needs of every student and helped me save more than 40 hours on my Quant Prep. Focusing on my weak areas as identified through Scholaranium, with the help of cementing and test readiness quizzes improved my Quant score significantly.
Scholaranium was particularly vital in my preparation. Scholaranium's targeted practice questions and the analytical tools provided a structured approach to tackling my weaknesses. Data Insights is an invaluable tool in critically identifying weak areas and also offers the chance to track improvement. My mentor Rashmi helped me work on my flaws and play on my strengths. This was especially true for the Quant and CR sections, where I needed the maximum improvement.

Last Mile Push Program:
The Last Mile Push Program in the final stages of my preparation helped me increase my score by 30 points (from my previous score of 700) in a matter of a few days and helped me score 730 (Q 48, V 41). Rashmi provided an objective view of my strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to focus on critical areas for improvement. Also, I would like to mention that the Sigma X Mock scores were within +/- 10 points of my actual GMAT score both times and were an accurate representation of where I stood in terms of my preparation. A balanced approach and trust in the e-GMAT methodology, including the tools and resources like Scholaranium, Pre-thinking approach in CR and the Structure-based approach in RC led to a significant improvement in my score. Overall, I would like to add that e-GMAT has everything one needs to ace the GMAT!

PACE style optimization for Verbal section

A note before I start my review-
I followed the e-gmat plan exactly how the team guided me. I struggle with certain test taking anxiety but I have a decent score now to apply to the B-schools of my choice. Although, I believe that I am capable of 20 more points in overall score but because of shortage of time, I am applying with my current score.

E-gmat’s master comprehension course helped in building a strong foundation for verbal. All the modules are detailed. Initially, I felt that cementing quizzes were unnecessarily slowing down my progress, but I instead focused on trusting the process, which helped me in the long run. The cementing quizzes did bring out all the fallacies I had and helped me to rectify them. In hindsight, I am happy that I endured the pain during that stage. I felt that I improved immensely in reading comprehension because of e-gmat. Usually, people think that RC is the most time-consuming, but if it is done as per how e-gmat teaches then I feel RC becomes a strength and helps with time during the test. P.S. the verbal techniques and strategies also helped me immensely while writing essays for my applications.
In Quant, I was strong when I started. Though, the course helped me mainly in Word Problems section. PACE helped me to move along the Quant course and cementing quickly.
Having individually prepared for all sub-modules and test readiness quizzes, I attempted my mocks. I realized that I falter when I apply all the learnings together. Rida and the strategy expert team helped me by designing focused practice plan and that improved my score. I also learned a lot from the already answered queries for some questions by the subject matter experts. These queries helped me a lot during my last stage of the preparation to iron out any doubts I had.
I benefited from the coffee sessions by Rajat and Payal. They showed the growth stats which helped me mentally, bolstering my understanding that my progress and potential are in place. All that was needed was to calmly sail through the exam. I am happy that I signed up with e-gmat for my gmat preparation.
