Today I received my GMAT score: 700/800, a 140 point increase achieved in little more than three months!! I couldn’t be more happy, but at the same time more grateful to the e-GMAT team.

Their support throughout my learning journey was immense. The strategy team is always (ALWAYS = 7/7) there to support you and provide corrective measures to your learning plan. The software itself, provides the ultimate in class teaching and mentor simulation. They prepare you for this ability test by indeed teaching those required abilities by means of diagnostic quizzes, concept files teaching the core concept skills, followed by practice quizzes to apply those concepts and eventually solve GMAT level 700+ questions. This method, they apply for all Verbal and Quant. Their Quant just got updated to Quant 2.0. I got to know e-GMAT as the best way to optimise your Verbal skills; today I equally value their Verbal and Quant course. Both allowed me to excel!

In the last two weeks, I got additional coaching from DJ (Dhananjay Lowe). After my first GMAT attempt in March, he reached out to me to join the Last Mile Program. He provided me with a hyper-specific plan to boost my score and get that 700 score. E-GMAT allowed me to significantly increase my score, the mentorship by DJ gave this extra boost to excel truly.

What I really liked about e-gmat, is their data-oriented approach. Thanks to the data they collect and share with their students, there should be no surprises during your GMAT exam. Their know-how allows them and yourself to estimate your ability and therefore reflect an estimate of your score. The mock prep tests by e-GMAT (Sigma-X Mocks) also provided an accurate estimate of my score.

In short: I would have NEVER achieved this 140 point increase without the e-GMAT software, their strategy team, and DJ. First, I bought official prep content by GMAC, but soon I realised I needed more. E-GMAT was exactly what I needed. Although no one would officially recommend studying for GRE using GMAT tools, I also took GRE between my two GMAT attempts and got a score of 322 on this exam.

I utilized e-GMAT for my first attempt and scored a 650 with 3-4 months of preparations.

I found the course beneficial on two major fronts -

1. Filtered study material - e-GMAT's prep material is refined to what you'll actually need for the test. Unlike the books, this course is straightforward and teaches only what is required and in an efficient manner.

2. Engaging - with all the analytics, prep videos, and routine targets, I found this product very engaging and keeps you on a defined timeline.

The SC course is hands down one of the best course out there. It teaches you the right error types and optimum process to boil it down to the right answer.

In CR, the pre-thinking approach is efficient and certainly helps when one is encountered a hard level CR question.

Scholaranium is a great question bank with exceptional capabilities. It's inbuilt analytics shows you exactly at which point you are faltering and which topics needs the most attention.

Sigma-X Mocks are one of the best mock tests out there in the market. The analytics is great and the definite time limit pushes one to replicate actual test conditions.

Finally the support is "Extraordinary" - answers to your queries are prompt and experts go above and beyond to help you succeed. I had calls with Payal, Rajat, and Shaarang for my re-takes and everyone was very supportive and gave me the required feedback based on my previous tests and eGMAT data.

After my first attempt, I gave couple more attempts but couldn't improve my score past 660. Though my quant was constant at 49, my verbal was fluctuating. I finally took help from a private GMAT tutor to help me increase my verbal score and was able to score a 700.

I stumbled upon e-GMAT after taking my first attempt of the real GMAT exam and scoring poorly. I knew I had to dive deeper into concepts in CR and SC specifically and also improve my concepts in Quant to reduce "silly mistakes". After comparing a lot of courses, I finally decided to give e-GMAT a shot because of how well their material was presented and the effort they had put into their course videos and mock exams (which I got to experience first hand during the 7 day trial period). The emphasis on collecting meaningful data from the quiz and exam performances and the elaborate reviews which followed were what instilled confidence in me that I had chosen the correct course to help prepare me for the GMAT.

A few aspects of the course which I specifically liked and used were:

1. The verbal course: I think its the most exhaustive verbal course I have come across. The deep dive into the concepts of SC especially helped me tackle the harder questions which I previously had to guess my way through.

2. CR - I understood that the different types of CR questions warranted a different way of thinking. The key learning of coming up with assumptions after reading the passage before looking at answer choices was a great tip which eventually saved me a lot of time during those questions.

3. RC - I was relatively comfortable with RC because I enjoy reading hence I never had too much trouble here. However, the amount of passages in the course helped to sharpen my skills in reading passages of various topics/subjects quickly and to grasp the main point of the passages.

4. The entire quant course was really helpful. If you're rusty with certain topics, definitely go through the quant course.

5. The part of the course which helpedme the most was the Scholaranium. It's basically a huge database of questions which help to "solidify" the concepts of both Quant and Verbal and the question bank is almost endless. This is what stood out to me and helped me the most.

6.The sigmaX Mocks: The difficulty of these mocks is just right. A good feature of these mocks is the absence of a pause button, forcing you to prepare yourself to sit for a 3 hour exam with the same mindset as you would during the real thing. As mentioned above, the review at the end of the exam shows you exactly where you struggled, which type of questions took you the most time to solve and also which concepts you need to brush up on. I found this data very helpful because it saved a lot of time during the review and I was able to spend more time on working on those concepts.

Lastly, the support e-GMAT provided was the best! Hats off to experienced coaches like Dhananjay and the others who replied to my endless emails about questions and concepts and even helped review my exams telling me which areas to focus on.

Overall, I am very happy that I chose e-GMAT. I cannot talk about every online course out there but I would recommend this course to every single person who wants to succeed at the GMAT and start their MBA journey on a positive note.

I started my GMAT prep in Jan’21 and after reading through a couple of articles figured that 3 months should be the ideal time. I started with the official guides and Manhattan strategy books. Although these helped me understand the concepts, I realized that my improvement was limited and I did not have the right approach to confidently eliminate wrong options. At this point, I started looking at the various prep courses available online.

After attending a free 1:1 session, I decided to join e-GMAT course in Feb/M. They provided me with a personalized study plan taking into consideration my current strengths and weaknesses. This made sure that I was not wasting time on topics that I was decently good at and instead devoted that time to areas where I could make significant improvement.

SC – My accuracy was comparatively higher so I was not required to do this course entirely. However their meaning based approach (although it sounds like the most logical thing) really helps eliminate options that might be grammatically correct

CR & RC – I did both these courses and the eGMAT approach helped me reduce the time I spent on these questions and also improve accuracy

Mock Tests – I gave 4 official mock tests which helped me evaluate my performance at different stages of my preparation. They are probably the best estimates of the actual score. However, the official mocks do not provide a detailed analysis of your performance on each section and the time taken per question. In this regard, I really liked the SigmaX mock from eGMAT because they provide multiple statistics to gauge your performance.

Since I have been working fulltime since the past 4 years, I did not know many people around me who had attempted the GMAT recently and could advise me on my preparation. eGMAT not only provided the online course and mock tests, but also provided continual guidance on my performance. Their strategy consultant DJ worked with me during the last 2 weeks before my exam and provided a day to day plan for the final leg of preparation. He also provided detailed analysis of my mocks, error logs and tips to improve my accuracy.

Test Day – I scheduled my exam at 7am in a nearby center. I was comfortable testing at this time and had given all my mocks at the same time. I started with the verbal section and found it to be a bit harder than the mocks. During the break, I was expecting the test center setup to be similar to the GRE exam which I had given a couple of years earlier. However due to the pandemic and our county restrictions, we were asked to go outside the building to have water or snacks during the breaks. Because of this, I misjudged the break time and arrived late after my first break. I ended up losing 3.5 minutes in the quant section and this led to panic which definitely affected my performance. During the 2nd break, I made sure that I arrive early however by now I was aware that my performance so far was not upto my expectation.

Final Score – I received a score of 700 (Q48 V38). Although not a bad score, it was definitely below my target score of 740+. I was consistently scoring Q50 on my mocks so I think Q48 was definitely a true reflection of my ability.

Next Steps – I am planning to reappear for the exam in 4 weeks. I am hoping to not mess up quant as I did last time. Also, I think there is scope for improvement in my verbal ability and so I am focusing most of my efforts there. Hopefully I will have better news the next time I post an exam review. Fingers crossed 

While I was able to crack the 650+ range with ease after my first attempt and a few months of practice, I soon came to the realisation that I need that extra push to break that 700 barrier. Here is where E-GMAT helped me the most. The tips and tricks along with the details notes provided by the company significantly enhanced my answering capacity and pattern recognising ability. The videos and the mini tests after each topic are a must if you are looking to cross your high target score. I was especially pleased with the Sigma X mocks as well because of 2 reasons: 1) It is extremely close to the actual test (considering the test is given in the real conditions) so one can gauge their score on the test day via these mocks. 2) The detailed analysis which provides the way the questions adapted to my answering provided me with extremely useful insights and helped figure out a strategy and time myself. The customer support of Egmat was great as well.

In a nutshell, E gmat is definitely worth every penny invested.
I chose it after going through several reviews on gmat club and going through their videos on youtube. The platform is really well designed and organized. There are numerous modules which covers every aspect tested on the gmat.

I was particularly weak in CR and my initial ability was in the 40th percentile. At the end of my prep, i was at the 85th percentile. The SC course is really comprehensive and beautifully planned out. It can help improve anybodys ability tremendously if the instructions and methodology taught is religiously followed. Overall, the Verbal module was incredible and is a huge strength on the platform.

The new Quant 2.0 is amazing and really clean. It teaches the necessary skills required to tackle pretty much any kind of question tested on the gmat. I have used both the previous version and the new one and there is a significant difference in terms of the approach for the exam. The modules are systematic and the questions are of all difficulties to give you a flavor of what the exam will feel like.

Scholaranium is an absolutely amazing tool and question bank that gives you pin point details about the ability in various topics and subtopics and helps identify weak spots and rectify them. The attention to detail and the world class quality o fthe questions really gives you a good feel of the type of questions youd see in the exam. If leveraged right, this can save a ton of time during prep.

The sigma mocks are by far the closest mocks apart from the official mocks that i have written which resembles the actual gmat exam. The insights that the sigma mocks offer are so so valuable. Even the official mocks dont give this much data about timings and weaknesses. It is an absolute necessity to gauge progress from time to time and validate your ability.

Lastly, the mentorship program that I was invited to be a part of was the icing on the cake. DJ has been a fantastic mentor and has guided me throughout the process. His key insights into my progress from time to time gave me a clear direction to move in. It adds a lot of value to the preparation. Making a structured plan and identifying my weaknesses. Video analyses of the performance of my mock gave me a new perspective of my performance and what I needed to do to overcome those minor challenges.

I highly recommend EGMAT to anyone who is serious about their MBA and who really want to achieve a high score. It is worth the money.

After studying on my own for about 3 months, I managed to score a 680 (Q47, V36). Disappointed, I began trying to figure out how to improve my score and stumbled upon e-gmat. After using their program for my second attempt, I can say for sure that if you are on the fence about signing up with e-gmat then- GO FOR IT!.
Verbal
1. SC- One of the best section with foundation building concept videos. I think this is the best module prepared by them. Meaning based approach is really great.
2. CR & RC- Entire approach was around understanding the passages and thinking critically with out of box solutions.
PS: No mugging up (most imp :) )

Quant
Their 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.
Another good feature that helped me the most is their doubt forum- it has so many already solved doubts that it'll only help you learn more.Go through the already solved doubts of a tough question and you will see different approaches and why the provided solution is the best one. Their courses need no introduction, their verbal and quant will prepare you for everything that will be thrown at you during test day, the scholaranium will help you improve your accuracy and the sigma x mocks will help you fine tune your strategy for D-day.I wish they had more mocks.Their support has always solved my doubts within a day, If you need help ,email them, they WILL help you in any way they can.Ill highly recommend them for any serious aspirant.

I highly recommend the E-gmat course. I had been struggling alot with the verbal section before subscribing to the E-gmat course but the the way their verbal section is structured is just amazing. If you follow it as they you'll definitely see an improvement in your ability within 10 days. The prethinking skill in CR section is just amazing. Once you get the hang of it, it works like magic. You just have to be patient while preparing for the course. Initially when I subscribed I did not like the quant section as much but later on they have moved on to a new platform for quant known as "expert" which gives you rigorous practice and just embeds the concepts in your head. The strategy team is always ready to help you and you can mail them anytime and they will book a strategy session for you. The scholaranium of E-gmat if used efficiently is a gem. Their are so many doubts related to every single question answered over there that you can clear all your doubts from there if any and you can also learn from other people's mistakes. I would like to thank the E-gmat team for helping me in my Gmat prep.

Hi Everyone,
I decided to prep for the GMAT in January 2019 and booked my GMAT exam for the 31st of March, 2019.
I thought three months will be enough for me to ace the paper and get a 700+ score. I did join an institute in New Delhi the institute had given me access to approximately 10 mock tests on its portal.
I gave my first attempt and I got a 620. I was very surprised to see my score as I was doing pretty well in the mock tests given by this institute I had joined.

I decided to start the Egmat course immediately after my first attempt and spent quite a lot of time on the verbal section. The online lectures really helped me out and made me feel extremely confident. After a month or so, I started solving questions on the EGMAT scholaranium and I was able to improve my accuracy each passing day. I again gave the GMAT in August 2019. This time I ended up scoring a 610.
I was taken aback but I was still determined to get a better score.
I decided to refer other online material in order to widen my horizon and get exposed to more number of questions. I gave my next attempt in October 2019. I ended up scoring a 620 again.

It was only then that I decided to share the enhanced score reports with the Egmat team so that I could get some clarity on why I was getting such poor scores even after putting in so much effort.

I was advised to just concentrate on the time I was spending on each question. Thats about all. I was advised to create tests on my scholaranium account and time them well.

I gave my 4th attempt on December 9th, 2019. I finally scored a 710. The only reason why I was able to score a 710 was because of the little change I had made in my approach courtesy the advice given by the Egmat team.

I was still determined to do much better in the test. It was in the month of September 2020 that I again sent out a mail to egmat asking for more help. Nava Dehingia from Egmat replied on the mail and set up a zoom call with me for about half an hour.
He had asked me to send all my ESRs and he thoroughly went through my scholaranium account to understand my pain points.

So, it was on that call that Nava made me realise the importance of analysing the questions I was getting wrong. All this while, I was focussing on getting the accuracy up. But I wasn't focusing on my weak points. Nava took me through each of the three sections in Verbal and each of the two sections in quant and asked me to go through my weak areas. Very methodically he asked me to prepare smaller tests focusing ONLY on my weak areas.

For the next 25 days, I just followed Nava's advice. I did nothing else. I just strengthened my weak areas and kept going through the things I was getting wrong.

On 1st October, 2021 I gave my final attempt and I got a 740 - V40 Q 50.

My score would not have been possible had I not been determined enough to keep at it. But more importantly, the question bank, which EGmat provides was the game changer for me. I struggled for 1.5 years to get a good score. I went through so much online material. But nothing comes close to the OG and the Scholaranium questions.
And not to forget, I truly owe the 740 to Nava. His advice changed my approach drastically. Had it not been for him, I probably would have still been giving the GMAT.

Thanks EGMAT for the prompt replies and unconditional support. @Nava, you are GODSEND. Thank you so much for everything you did to ensure I get a 740.

All the best guys. Please feel free to reach out in case you need any help.

I decided to take the GMAT a few months back I was exploring web for test preps. I am an engineer and people I know around me do not take GMAT that often, so web search was the best option I had to find the right course for me. Initially I got some books from another leading test prep service provider and I just realised that the verbal section was not doing it for me. People on GMAT Club say that it is easier to improve on SC, whereas no matter how much I tried, my growth in SC was stuck! So in my search for course for SC, I found some reviews of e-GMAT on GC and I decided to give it a try. Now, looking back, I am glad that I did!

Here are my thoughts on the overall course prep-

1. For verbal, e-GMAT is probably the most effective course prep for someone who is not a grammar nazi. Their meaning based approach actually works- its not just another jargon created by the test prep providers. The quality of questions are comparable to OG and the real exam, and the difficulty of the questions made me comfortable in facing any surprises in the verbal. Their focus on grammar is limited to absolute essential and the structured steps suggested in the course got ingrained into me as I moved ahead with the course. The pre-thinking approach they teach in CR seems long and counter-intuitive initially but it works like magic once you get a grasp on it.

2. Quant was already a stronger area for me because of my background but I felt that their quant section has a very good step by step approach to getting to harder level questions for someone for whom quant is a problem area.

3. Scholaranium is the platform that they use to develop test taking ability. Obviously the quizzes customisable by topic/difficulty, but on top of that they have adaptive ability quizzes to each of the area in verbal and quant to develop test taking ability. The metrics that they provide has a lot of data that can can be used to identify any weak area with concept, timing or difficulty and work on it.

4. The Sigma-X mocks that the course offers are very closely comparable to the real thing. My exam score very closely matches with my Sigma-X mock scores. In my opinion, the quality and difficulty of the questions are very much in line with the real thing.

5. Most importantly, the e-GMAT team is very approachable in every way. They arrange weekly webinars on various topics which are extremely effective. Plus, whenever I wrote to them for guidance, they have reverted quick with extremely valuable inputs on strategy, identifying weak areas and even helped me plan study routines at times. A couple of weeks before the exam, when I reached out to them, they actually helped me plan the full weeks leading up to the exam day! Honestly, this was not something I was even looking for when I subscribed to the course!

I am writing this review because I felt that the reviews I've read on GC helped me when I was exploring course to choose from and I believe my experience should help someone else too. I think if you are planning on taking the GMAT exam, you can't go wrong with e-GMAT. Period.
