700 Q49 V35 (Online)
I was looking for a course that could not only help me achieve a good score but also fit my hectic job schedule. After reading many positive reviews of e-gmat and going through free modules on e-gmat, I scheduled zoom call with team and got all my queries answered. Satisfied with every aspect of e-gmat, I decided to enroll for E-gmat online. I completely trusted the course and scored a 700 :D.
E-gmat provides a very comprehensive and well-structured and cover most of the basics. The concept files have pre quiz, concept and a post quiz. This structured approach helps to understand if we have really grasped both the theory and application of concept. I would like to specially highlight their methodologies for the verbal sections. Pre-thinking in CR questions, Breaking Down of sentences in Sentence Correction Questions and reading strategies in RC helped me in improving my Verbal score significantly. Quant course of e-gmat helped in brushing up my concepts and provided a structured approach in solving DS questions.
Scholaranium 2.0 provides a vast variety of questions and great analytics. It gives us the flexibility to create custom quizzes to test and build concepts. Solutions provided are informative and helped me bridging knowledge gaps.
Sigma-X mocks available with course helped me constantly gauge my progress and gave accurate prediction of my score.
LMT Program by e-gmat really provided the most required final push towards my GMAT. Thanks to Dhananjay. He provided me an in depth analysis of my mocks and pointed out gaps. Day wise strategic study plan devised by him helped me in addressing my weak areas. :)
Kudos to e-gmat team! I highly recommend them!
I have never seen an educational service as good as E-GMAT. It is a one stop solution for cracking the GMAT. Their process-oriented approach makes results just a simple by-product rather than the goal.
I had purchased the two-month pack for both, verbal and quant, which came with 3-month access to GMAT Club and 5 mocks of 800 Score and Sigma X. I was studying full-time for the GMAT and this one purchase gave me so much resource that I could practice each and every type of question at various difficulties.
Coming to the Course Content:
• Starting with the SC Module, the meaning-based approach makes the process of elimination faster and more accurate. The course will gradually build up your ability to dissect each and every word of the sentence and to figure out the role it plays.
• The CR and RC course will teach the critical step of pre-thinking which with time will help you find out what the correct option may contain even before you read the options
Scholaranium 2.0:
The testing software of E-GMAT, Scholaranium 2.0, is way too insightful. It wont just give you your result, but also a complete analysis of the weak areas, timing, corrective actions and plan to target. I found myself referring to this data very frequently to check if I am on the right track and course correct when needed.
Sigma X Mock:
These mocks are a very close representation of your actual score. The question quality is also very reliable and the analytics provided are extremely useful to figure out an optimum test taking strategy.
LMT:
If you get into the mentorship program, there is an extremely high probability that you will see a score starting with 7.
I was assigned the mentor Aditee Biyanee, who was an excellent mentor and regularly helped me with every minute detail right from test taking strategies to timing exercises. Gradually, my GMAT journey became even more enjoyable and I could sense a sharp improvement in my abilities and confidence. All thanks to Aditee!
Overall, I feel that this purchase was worth every penny spent.
The egmat course is surprisingly structured and goal oriented. It helped me tackle a complex GMAT prep into something which is broke down to pieces and can easily be tracked.
Do take efforts to ensure that you score 95% + on the Practice & Concept quizzes . Also taking time in understanding how to use the video courses and the Scholaranium helped me and I was able to see immediate results in my Verbal sections. The new content with GEOMETRY ALGEBRA is also very helpful and ensures that you learn through a experiental and self understanding approach . I started with a score of 560 and was able to score 660 on the Gmat . My scores on the Free GMAT tests were even higher at 720 . Look forward to using the eGmat module again for a re take soon.
The very first obstacle after you have decided to go for GMAT is where, to begin with? I am writing this so that it will help reduce the preparation time of so many students by HALF.
I had a strong grip on Quant (>48 on initial exploratory mocks) but Verbal was where I needed skill development. Thanks to my peers, Mehak, I was led in the right direction to enroll in the E-GMAT online course. Counseling by Karan Kantharia was immensely helpful which helped me identify my gaps.
The Verbal course is brilliant; it helps you build your skill step-by-step based on logic, rules, and methodologies. I assure you, you can solve any question of SC, CR, or RC with the application of the methodology in the course. For me, the verbal methodology (especially CR; which many find difficult) of the E-GMATs course is the MVP.
Sectional Ability quizzes are a must to develop the ability and before attempting the SigmaX mocks.
SIGMA-X mocks are of the highest quality ( tough as well :P) and they are the closest to the actual exam.
Thanks to Aditee Biyani (LMT program) who helped me in my final weeks of exams after I had completed the course and all my other mocks.
Lastly, the Quant section of the course is at par with Verbal; though I did not use it much as I was already ok in it.

720 Q51 V36 (Online)
eGMAT truly stands out amongst all the GMAT test prep platforms. I’ve spent countless days across multiple prep platforms, including 6 months completing the full course at one. I had followed every guideline that they laid out and yet, I was unable to get close to my desired score or simply make any progress. Till then, I had been hesitant to go with eGMAT due to their video format, but I finally took an eGMAT subscription after exhausting all other options. I could immediately tell the difference, and haven’t looked elsewhere since. I realised that while the other big name companies are content with preparing you for a 700 score, eGMAT is the only one that can prepare you for 740+ and push you to get there. For example, I consistently got a Q51 across all mock tests on every other platform, yet my quant score in the actual GMAT was stuck at Q49, Q50. Funnily, eGMAT’s Sigma-X Mock was the only one where I had scored a Q49.
The folks at eGMAT really put in a lot of effort to be the best in the industry. Alongside their self-paced course, they’ve instituted a “Last Mile Program” to handhold students on strategy and other aspects of the preparation through one-on-one mentorship. I got to be a part of the program and was lucky to have Dhananjay (or DJ) personally guiding me. He made it super simple for me to go through the course and selectively work on the competencies that I needed. I started out with a tailored study plan with set milestones, making modifications along the way based on my progress and time availability. Amazingly, my ability in CR and RC started improving in a matter of days, despite not having moved at all in months. It gave me the confidence that I could really get to my higher target and I want to thank Dhananjay and eGMAT for that. I was however running a bit short on time and took the exam before I could complete the planned modules. I scored a 720 (Q51, V36), owing to not working on my Verbal timing. It fell short of my target score but did give me more clarity on my next steps. I’m continuing to work with Dhananjay to address the gaps and move towards a higher score in my next attempt.
When I decided to give GMAT , I did not really know how to go about the entire process in order to make it a successful attempt and fortunately I stumbled across THE E-GMAT Course. Not only did it give direction to my preparation but also the mentorship and the course as a whole made this endeavour worthwhile.
The following course features helped me during my GMAT Journey :
1. The Course Structure : The course has been aptly divided into various concept files followed by the application files and practice files. This structure helps in breaking down a subtopic into manageable pieces for any test taker.
2. Solving The SC & CR Conundrum : The two sub topics most of the test takers dread are SC and CR .
E-GMAT helps in resolving these with utmost efficiency using the Meaning Based approach for SC and Pre Thinking approach for CR .
3. The LMT Program : In my opinion this was the highlight of the course and this is what makes it the most comprehensive course available.
One of the best strategists at e-Gmat , Dhananjay helped me identify and target my week areas. This hyperspecific targetting helped break the 700 barrier in no time.
4. The Scholaranium & Sigma X Mocks : This feature is the X factor , that E-gmat has. This tool is behind the pin point detection of weak areas and if there are any issues with your strategy. The 5 Sigma X mock tests, each of them having its own question pool, are more than enough to evaluate and if required to navigate one's preparation.
I started with a score of 590 and the above features of the course and the right mentorship helped me cross the 700 barrier in my first GMAT attempt.
Hope this helps!
All the best!
I came across E-Gmat on YouTube when I was looking for a specific GMAT topic. I somehow landed on their website and it was the best thing that happened to me in the entire 2020.
I had an introduction session with one of their team members. He very politely told me that they way I was studying for my GMAT was not correct. You see, I was studying to learn, not to score. It's the worst strategy for any competitive exam. I knew absolutely everything in the course but could not translate that to a decent score.
I purchased their GMAT Online package. Their course is so well designed that it almost programs you to do well. It is self-paced and it tests you on the smallest concepts before you proceed. You learn in a way that your scores become ironclad. Say you are getting a 700 in their mock tests, there is absolutely no way you would get any lower on your final exam without a solid reason.
It works well for someone with a weak quant/verbal ability as well as someone with a strong ability.
Another brilliant aspect of their course is that it creates a dashboard for you that can tell you EXACTLY what your problem areas are. For example, it doesn't just tell you that your sentence correction is a problems. It will tell you that you are weak in a very specific type of modifier questions. It is a very scientific approach to studying. Honestly, it has changed the way I approach many other aspects of my life.
Let me try to sum up in a few points:
Pros:
1. Very structured approach to the course
2. Minutely detailed dashboard that helps you pinpoint your problem areas to a tee.
3. Very prompt team in case you need extra help or guidance or just moral support
4. Large question bank across all topics.
5. Both, verbal and quant, sections are robust.
Cons:
Honestly, none. I did struggle with their platform in the beginning because it's extensive. I wrote to them and got an explanation in less than 30 mins.
Who is it for?
-Anyone looking to take the GMAT without wasting any time. There is a lot of material out there and I have tried it all. My advice, just take this course and that's all you need. A very unpopular but gold advice - you do not even need the The Official Guide for GMAT.
Good luck!
In general the platform is really user friendly and the quality of the content is amazing. I loved how I could go over a certain topic as much as I wanted until I finally understood the topic 100%.
The best thing about e-gmat is their focus on LEARNING THE CONCEPTS. Most gmat tutors or coaches focus on shortcuts or tricks for gmat exercise But e-gmat wants you to have a clear understanding of the concepts, a clear understanding of the meaning of each sentence and proves that gmat exercises CAN be solved on time when you have strong foundations. Strong foundations are key to solve 700+ exercises.
In addition, e-gmat platform is very data driven and really helpful in detecting weaknesses and pain points. During the final weeks before the actual exam this can be a game-changer to get the most of your final hours of study.

720 Q49 V40 (Online)
I took the gmat course from e-GMAT for two GMAT attempts over four months. I first took the course and received a decent score, and worked with them to get a much higher score in my second try. I also worked with the consultants/advisors to work through my ESR report to focus my attention on areas of improvement and improve my score. My score did jump significantly in the Verbal section, thanks to the process suggested by the E-GMAT team. The scholaranium practice questions were incredibly helpful and so were the mock tests. I definitely recommend the E-GMAT course, and in particular the Verbal course.
e-GMAT's Quant program is great for people with no Maths background!
In my current job, I only use basic maths and I rely heavily on Excel. As a result, I knew that I had a long way to go in Quant after seeing just a few practice GMAT questions. I did heavy research online and found that e-GMAT had many great reviews in both Quant and Verbal, so I signed up!
After starting the Quant section, my belief that I have a long way to go in Quant was confirmed. e-GMAT's lessons are well structured, with videos and clear explanations. However, at first I found there to be a giant leap between the concept files and the practice questions (the practice questions got hard for me, really quickly!). e-GMAT's Quant questions are actually tougher than the actuals GMAT's Quant questions, but this is great preparation and people who are serious about getting a high score should embrace this.
e-GMAT then rolled out Quant 2.0, which is a substantial upgrade over the original Quant files. Quant 2.0 takes more time to assess your current skill level, before then recommending next steps. If your baseline knowledge is low, Quant 2.0 does a great job of slowly teaching the concepts from a foundational level. My Quant reached another level after completing some Quant 2.0 materials. However, due to the time crunch before my GMAT date, I only used Quant 2.0 for Number Properties and going into the exam, I knew that I still had some work to do on Algebra and Geometry.
When it comes to Verbal, I made the mistake of believing that a native English speaker like myself will fly through the Verbal section. Hence, I put a heavier emphasis on Quant and my GMAT score clearly displays this.
Moving forward to the exam day, I decided to take the exam anyway despite my gaps in Algebra, Geometry, Verbal and mental stamina. I wanted to get the first crack out the way and experience the exam pressure first-hand. I completed the GMAT Online on Monday 4th January 2021. My overall score was 670 (Q49, V32, IR6), which is significantly lower than my target score. On the bright side though - I achieved a Q49 by doing Quant 1.0 and only Number Properties in Quant 2.0, so I still have plenty of new, useful content to work through as I prepare for my retake.
Looking ahead, as I am not happy with 670 and I know that I can achieve a higher score with the right preparation, I now look forward to completing the rest of Quant 2.0 and digging deep into Verbal, before retaking the GMAT on 4th March, 2021. I strongly believe that by completing Quant 2.0 in Algebra and Geometry and by completing the robust Verbal program, I will achieve Q50+, V40+ and my target score.
What is even greater about e-GMAT is their commitment to their students' success. e-GMAT are now helping me craft a study plan to help me achieve my target score, which is outstanding support in my opinion.
I will be back to update this amazing community again after my GMAT retake :)
EDIT AFTER RETAKE - 12/MAY/2021
I started my GMAT journey in July 2020 with quant capabilities in desperate need of development. After a couple months of frustrations, I started e-GMAT in September 2020.
By the time December rolled around, my Quant still was not up to par. However, my online exam was booked for 4th January and I felt that instead of postponing, I should get sit the exam anyway just to get the first shot out the way and make myself feel comfortable moving forward. Whilst doing some last-minute revision, I noticed that e-GMAT had upgraded their Quant course, Quant 2.0. I completed part of the new Number Properties and realised how much of a massive upgrade Quant 2.0 was over Quant 1.0, so I emailed e-GMAT with some positive feedback and a few questions. e-GMAT then offered to put me through their mentorship program, with Archit as my mentor.
I ended up taking the GMAT three times – the first two online and the last one in the test centre. Archit helped me from just before exam #1 all the way to exam #3, and I cannot begin to explain how valuable his guidance and support was. My exam results were:
1. 4th January 2021: 670 (Q49, V32) - Online
2. 4th March 2021: 690 (Q47, V38) - Online
3. 7th May 2021: 740 (Q48, V44) – Test Centre
With the ESR not available after the first attempts, Archit and I had a couple debriefs then he would recommend next steps. Archit would also check in from time-to-time to see how everything is going. Archit not only held me accountable, but also took the time to analyse my quiz and mock results to recommend the best possible next steps.
Overall, I strongly believe it would have taken me much longer to score 740 if I had not worked with Archit from January. A big thank you from me, and a strong recommendation for all reading this to consider e-GMAT and their mentorship program!
