E-GMAT has uplifted my abysmal score from 400 to 770. When I had received 400, it shows that I am bad in both sections. However, I have taken the E-GMAT course, and believe me it has changed my life forever.
Verbal Section:-->
SC course is so precisely made that even non-English speakers could able to crack the GMAT with the sole help from the E-GMAT course. Its meaning-based approach had made my GMAT journey easy.
CR course pre-thinking approach is very well drafted. I could save approx 35 secs on each question after following the pre-thinking approach.
RC course is so well crafted including all types of questions such as Science and technology, literature, history, etc.
Quant:--
The Quant section is so well made that I could learn each and every concept from scratch and practice as many questions as given in schoalrium.
As we know that today's world work on data ideology and I love data. E-GMAT has helped to achieve my dream score by imbibing in my mind that how data could be useful by using Quant 2.0 and Verbal 2.0 as well.
Both were so insightful that they actually helped me a lot to improve on every aspect of my preparation from starting my 400 scores to reach my 770 Score.
What I have done differently after having E-GMAT Score.
Read, Read, Read novels and newspapers(Taken subscription of Wall street journal, NYT, Washington Post).
Read some IEEE conference papers for understanding the big paragraphs.
Diligently followed the error logs. Always give 2 hours a day for my error log review.
Most important thing
Believe in yourself always.

730 Q50 V39 (Online)
Few months ago I could not have imagined anything above a 650 on my GMAT. But thanks to the beautifully created course I reached a score of 730 in two months. E-GMAT is a great product for those who want to start their preparation from scratch or who struggle with timing on verbal section.
After going through few reviews I took the leap and enrolled in E-GMAT course. And this has been probably the best decision I took. The course is structured in a way that it, if followed diligently, improves the fundamentals.
What course offers -
In depth video lessons – Lessons are followed by application for each concept file.
Meaning based approach/Prethinking - Essential if you want to break the 700 mark
Scholaranium - Great set of questions with really helpful analysis on where one has gone wrong (A must use)
Ask the expert - Very useful tool to clear doubts immediately
Sigma - X mocks - Similar level difficulty to the actual GMAT
GMAT club tests - The course comes with access to all the GMAT club tests as well. Make sure to utilise these.
By following the course, not only did I improve my accuracy but also went on from having a shortage of time in the first GMAT exam, I had few minutes to spare in the second attempt.
Overall, a course that every GMAT aspirant should utilise.

720 Q49 V40 (Online)
Hi all,akashdeep here.I have been a silent candidate here on gmatclub platform for the past 7 months or so.Having been failed to get a call from the premier IIMs,I decided to embark on GMAT as a sort of redemption.Started reviewing various platforms on gmatclub and came to know of e gmat.Also watched few of their live sessions and enrolled in december 2020.Initially i Had a subpar ability on both SC and CR.I took on of their ability tests and scored only a meagare 10 percentile in verbal.After going through their superb SC and CR course my ability in both started hitting upwards of 70 percentile in 3/4 months.Their step by step approach such as the meaning based approach helped me gain a whole new insight onto SC..Struggled a lot in CR and SC was averaging close to 90 percentile.In sigma mocks of E gmat I started plateauing at 680 or 690.Then i got into their Last Mile Program where you get one to one guidance from one of their mentors.I got in touch with #ATREYA Sir from e gmat and he guided me in every step.I began hitting 97th perentile in SC ability quizzes thanks to ATREYA again. Also the kind of data insights provided by E gmat scholaraium was superb.They give splendid insight on your performace based on difficulty,timing and sub topics.Specifically the LMP(Last Mile Program) is an icing on top. The quality of Sigma X mocks , scholaranium questions and their explanations on their forum helped immensely in my improvement.On the D day the SC and CR questiosn seemed a lot easier thanks to being acquainted in advance with scholaranium.
This is all from my side guys.Planning for a retake again for a 750 and hopefully after that I would give a more indepth analysis of my journey.
When I started my process for GMAT and MBA, I did not really know all my options about which course to take to study for the GMAT. Being out of college for almost 4 years and having no quant in college meant I needed help for the GMAT.
Upon a friend's recommendation I tried the free e-GMAT access. It was quite detailed and slightly overwhelming but I knew that I needed to deep dive into concepts and then practice to hit my target score of 730+. So I chose e-GMAT.
The on-boarding was very smooth. There is a specific instruction on how to use the course and test your "test-readiness". Do not ignore these instructions like I did. It is very useful and tells you exactly how to self-evaluate in each section and sub-section, and gives you important tips on maintaining the error log.
A singular instance stands out to me where after 3 months of study, I still scored only a 570 in a mock test and I reached out to the support team at e-GMAT, in a state of panic. I got a very detailed e-mail and action points on how to get better and where I am lacking. I followed the instructions to the letter and I immediately went up to 690, and that's when I booked my first GMAT test.
Pros: (i) very responsive support team, (ii) very detailed quant and verbal, (iii) break-down of each concept. The sigma mocks are very good - and will give you a break down of each section where improvement is required. Take these suggestions very seriously and you should see an improvement in your scores.
Cons: some concepts may be too detailed but it worked for me.
I already had a score of 740 and wanted to go above that mark. I knew that pacing through questions was my biggest weakness, and hence I chose e-GMAT to work on that.
I was impressed by the number of questions as well as the interface that was available. Question difficulty is up to mark for scoring high in GMAT. The interface allows you to attempt questions in sets and in a time that simulates the GMAT test-taking experience. This helped me a lot to control my anxiety during the actual exam. Apart from that, the explanations provided are sufficiently articulate to make you understand any concept clearly.
I found e-GMAT really helpful when it comes to practice and would recommend this to anyone who is struggling with the exam.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
The video lessons are thorough & interactive and they beautifully seed the processes and concepts in the mind. All the modules builds concepts right from the basics, are interventive with mid course quizzes to test performance and covers each area tested by GMAT comprehensively
Scholaranium is like JARVIS from Iron man, a complete tool which gives flexibility to take cementing, ability or custom quizzes and provides thorough analysis and a review list to focus and improve your weak areas.
I found the Sigma X mocks far better than all the Gmat official mock tests especially in terms of their adaptability and question bank.
And finally, the support mechanism is super responsive. I got responses to all queries I had put in within 24 hours.
It been a dedicated few month and now I am happy to report that I have scored 750 on GMAT. Being a working professional with heavy working hours it been a difficult but a rewarding journey. EGMAT’s course has been instrumental in providing a structured approach to my preparation (its difficult o study after 9-10 work hours if you don’t have a goal-based study plan). The detailed coursework especially – the meaning based approach in Sentence correction and pre-thinking approach in CR can make a world of difference in anyone’s preparation. But having a plan is not enough – having feedback points are also a must to be successful in GMAT and this is where EGMAT’s Scholaranium2.0 platform comes into play. The ability and custom quizzes really helped me to evaluate and reinforce the concepts I learned. I found that the Sigma X mock’s difficulty and scoring very close to the actual test.
But as with any course , a little course correction and guidance goes a long. I must thank EGAMT’s Last Minute Program (LMP) and the assigned coordinator of it for me – Aditee Biyani. Her guidance, hyper-specific plans and time to time words of encouragement made a big difference to my overall preparation.
I took EGMAT mainly to improve my SC score.
I came to EGMAT after doing Manhattan SC books.
EGMAT teaches concepts and also tells how to apply them right away which I found useful to cement my concepts. This also helped me to recall concepts faster when I encounter a similar question.
Ultimately I prepared notes from both Manhattan and EGMAT to help.
One thing which I regret is I couldn't internalize the whole process outlined by them. My advice for someone taking EGMAT and having time is to give some time to Internalize their approach in SC before jumping to OG questions, as that would help enormously. I couldn't due to my time constraints. USe scholarnium also to improve your shortcomings.
Egmat's RC and CR section didn't use much. Each person has their strength, they suggested making notes for RC, I am not sure how feasible is that while actively solving, some students might find it useful.
I couldn't as my handwriting is very bad, so I knew even if I make them, won't be useful while referring back. Also, I am a fast reader, so didn't have an issue if I have to read a passage twice. So this is my take on RC, but see what works for you.
Nothing to comment on in the CR section.
For QA, used OG and GMAT Club tests, only advice which has been stressed enough is to maintain Error Log for QA and not repeat your mistakes
E-gmat helped me take my score from 710 to 730 in a matter of 3 weeks. E-gmat has an amazing verbal module. The CR course was a game changer for me. The pre-thinking approach helped me increase my level of accuracy from 70% to 90% in one week. The quant module is quite comprehensive; however solving questions at their level of difficulty makes actual GMAT questions a cake walk. I would especially like to mention Aditee Biyani who acted as a mentor for me. She helped me prioritize my focus areas resulting in me making the most of my 2 weeks leading to GMAT. She stayed in regular touch and made sure to give me last minute tips and tricks before the exam that came in very handy.
My decision to buy E-Gmat course was an impulsive one but happened to be a best one. E-Gmat focusses on mastering concepts and process, an approach that appealed to me especially for Sentence Correction
Why E-GMAT course stands out?
Verbal course is extremely good. It starts with Master Comprehension which makes life easier in understanding (solving) all the sections of verbal. SC course builds concepts right from the basics and covers each area tested by GMAT comprehensively. The meaning-based approach emphasised by E-GMAT is the best to solve hard questions, which can never be answered by just knowing the grammatical rules
Although CR does not have many concepts to master, the process of breaking down the argument into premises and conclusion and understanding the author’s reasoning behind the conclusion helps eliminate even the options which would otherwise seem very strong contenders. Pre-thinking the assumption (or strengthener / weakener) would involve some conscious effort, since natural instinct would be to jump right to the options. However, it’s worth putting in that effort because pre-thinking not only improves the accuracy but also reduces the takt time.
Reading strategies taught right since the start of the verbal course help gain a really good understanding of the RC passages, key to answering the RC questions.
Quant course gives all the concepts required for the test and trains us on the process which makes solving difficult questions in less than two minutes easier. E-GMAT’s quant question bank is very comprehensive and difficulty level of the questions is higher than that of the ones in the official guide or GMAT prep. Once we get used to solving harder questions, quant in the actual test turns out to be much easier.
The data points (analytics) provided by E-GMAT course are truly commendable. We get a lot of feedback on time and accuracy subsection-wise (in fact, question type-wise; eg: we know how good we are at answering assumption arguments compared to answering boldface ones). This is extremely useful in mocks. I took Sigma-X mocks and mocks offered by GMAT Prep and by third parties. While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about what we can expect from the actual exam, difficulty level, etc, we cannot analyse our performance and how we can improve. Sigma-X mocks (by E-GMAT) are top-notch in this regard. We can have a complete debrief of the mock; I did not find such kind of data in the mocks offered by other third parties (I tried 2-3 sources). So, if you are looking for mocks that are a very good replica of actual GMAT and which can tell you your areas of improvement as well as provide best possible solutions to all the questions, Sigma-X mock is your answer.
Also, the kind of support you get during the entire duration of the course is worth mentioning. A lot of doubts get clarified just by going through the existing threads and you get prompt replies from the support team for all the new queries. Moreover, the team really supports you in the last few days/ weeks leading up to the test. I reached out to the support team after my first mock after course completion. Dhananjay helped me out in analysing my key areas on improvement, suggested the kind of customized tests I need to take to overcome them, even shared video analysing my mock performance. He pointed out that time management was the main thing I need to address; I followed the schedule suggested by him and in my actual GMAT I finished verbal on time and had ample time to spare after my quant section.
All Thanks to Payal, Shraddha, Aditee and the entire E-GMAT team
How much time and attempts did it take you to reach from 400 to 770 ?
This is a very humble and personal question as I am also started with a score of 490 and aspire to reach a score of 750-760.
