A Brief Background: I am a IIT Kharagpur graduate of class of 2015. I started my preparation of GMAT in March 2020 but was not structured at all in my approach. I ended up scoring 680 (Q50, V31) in October 2020 (Online GMAT) and felt that this score doesn't depict my true ability. I gave 2nd attempt of Online GMAT in March 2021 and scored 720 (Q50, V36), but this time eGMAT's structured approach and mentorship came to my rescue.

eGMAT tool: A very comprehensive portal to build your ability and level up your score. I barely touched any other resource for SC and RC. I was really impressed by eGMAT's meaning based approach and pre-thinking approach. Talking about Scholaranium: The best question bank in the GMAT industry, the explanations are so comprehensive that it helps you learn and cement your concepts even further.

eGMAT Mentor (DJ): I reached out to eGMAT for support in verbal section. I lacked time management skills and wanted to score v42+. DJ not only analysed my ability in each of the verbal sections but also provided me with personalised SigmaX mock analysis.
3 videos provided: I attempted 3 mocks and received personalized analysis for each of them. This analysis pointed following: my weak areas for revisit, how to improve on time management (block wise approach), and ability/accuracy required to score v42+.
These videos drove me into high paced learning and improvement because I realised the strategies to score higher. Also, it helped me course correct my 14 days study plan before GMAT.

A net summary: I am still not satisfied with my score and I know my areas of improvement. I am receiving continuous support from DJ in my 3rd attempt. I highly recommend this course for everyone who wants to fasten up their preparation in structured approach.

GMAT is an one of kind of a well structured exam that tests your analytical ability and exposes what you are weak at. There is no escape from same. And to excel you just need to raise the bar of your ability.
And in this journey, a right guidance and mentor could prove to be very effective and quick way to success. Along with all this a right guidance and right approach could prove to be a life long asset that you gain in your GMAT preparation journey.

In my journey of 620 to 730 journey, EGMAT turned out to be the same. I purchased its GMAT online course and used same throughout my preparation.

1. Its verbal section is amazing. And there is no match to this. It explains the things in such a layman terms that anyone can understand.

Master comprehension course was one of turning point for me in regards to how I read sentences and understand them. It overhauled my approach towards reading. And no doubt it leveraged my reading and understanding ability.

Sentence correction course has been structured in such a way without any grammatical jargons that even a layman can understand it. It just build your base from scratch and equip you to solve complex sentences with right approach. Its meaning based approach is unique to EGMAT, and same no doubt helps in eliminating wrong answers with 100% accuracy.

In CR, Prethinking approach really gives you better insights and understanding of argument, and fasten your problem solving skill. It is much easier to eliminate wrong answers once you prethink about depths of your CR argument.

RC approaches nonetheless was helpful in gaining better understanding of complex passages.

So overall I will suggest, Verbal section is not just guide you in right way of solving GMAT questions, but also helps you in building abilities that are required in your preparation and way forward in your B-school journey.


2. Scholaranium is another nice platform that helps your to customize test as per your need. I have tried few other tutorial test platform but none of them match with EGMAT Scholaranium.
Also its explanation and approach to problem solving stands out any other.

3. In my initial attempts, EGMAT team gave me insights about what I am lacking and where I am making mistake with help of ESR. And those insights helped me to move way up the ladder. This platform do have very effective and responsive forum for Q&A.


So overall I will anytime recommend this course, incase your want to crack the GMAT fast and raise your analytical and ability skills.

Getting a 640 after four months of preparation left me disheartened. I had no idea what to do, but I chose not to give up. After reading several reviews online, I enrolled myself in the e-GMAT course online. One of the lessons I realized was that I was never consistent with my approach while solving confusion that made me confused, and I was unable to comprehend what the question was asking.

I built up a study plan with e-GMAT, started with quant, and then proceeded with verbal. In quant, I used to make very silly errors that were more of process gaps than conceptual gaps. The new e-GMAT quant course is hands down the best course to study the quant section. With a defined structure, you can easily navigate through the course without getting bored. In my last week, I just went through the process skills files to make myself confident in each sub-section. For verbal, there’s no better tool than scholaranium to make you better at verbal and applying the skills taught in the concept files. The pre-thinking approach for each question in SC/CR/RC is essential to ace the GMAT. I realized that you need to be consistent with your strategy, and you need to effectively dissect the question before looking at the answer choices.

One piece of advice would be not to try too many questions. It’s okay if you do ten questions right in a day instead of practicing 100 questions in a day and exhausting yourself. I did that, and when I saw that my approach was not consistent, I needed to go through the concept files again and revise my strategy. However, till then, I had no questions left to apply my revised approach. I approached the e-GMAT support team and got in touch with one of their best mentors, DJ. He gave me a solid plan to follow weekly and made me do many custom-ability quizzes. The quizzes made me more confident, and I was ready to take one last mock I had left. But, after months of preparation, I got a 650 in the last e-GMAT mock, and I had no idea what to do. However, DJ was always there at every step of the journey and motivated me not to give up. I revised my concept files, made sure my approach was consistent with every question that I solved, and I saw a remarkable difference in my performance.

Having exhausted my e-GMAT mocks and official mocks, I decided to register myself for the exam. I booked the online GMAT exam. I got stuck on a few questions in the quant section, and I didn’t let go of the questions that I should have, and I was running behind time before I even knew. I had 6 mins remaining for the last six questions. I got nervous, panicked, and screwed up my exam. I got a 640 again, but I knew that my ability is much more, and I will not settle myself at this score. DJ came up with a retake plan and made me understand how important it is to let go of the feeling of getting every question right on the GMAT exam. I decided to give as many mocks as possible and see where I was going wrong. I realized I did not apply my learning from the e-GMAT course while I was giving the exam. I took the veritas prep mocks and manhattan prep mocks, and my scores fluctuated between 680-700. Feeling confident enough, I booked the GMAT exam again. I couldn’t believe it when I saw a 700 (Q47, V38) on the screen. Finally, after months of preparation, my handwork paid off, and I can give the entire credit to the e-GMAT course and its effective strategy. For someone like me who’s never suffered academically but has been out of touch from studies for a while, I needed a comprehensive plan that keeps me motivated to study, and the e-GMAT course plan provided just that. On top of it, getting a mentor like DJ who was always there to guide me in the right direction is what I need to excel in the exam.

e-GMAT is an excellent GMAT prep provider, which caters to all types of students - those starting out from scratch or for those who are taking the course to improve their existing level of proficiency. The pre-course diagnostic test helps students assess their current proficiency levels, which enables the student to pace his course work accordingly.

e-GMAT mentorship is a standout feature. An expert evaluates the various mock exam and other test scores to evaluate the strong and weak areas and would suggest correction course of action. My mentor, Dhananjay, analyzed my mock and other test scores and intervened at the right time to provide the right direction. He specifically identified my weak areas and provided a plan to improve my scores in those areas, the results of which was visible.

I seek to retake my GMAT after scoring a 700, and Dhananjay continues to provide his insights on the retake plan, which is commendable.

The difference between e-GMAT and other services is night and day. e-GMAT has a very detailed course that provides all the tools need to succeed in the GMAT.

Based on your strengths and weaknesses, a personalised study plan is composed to better focus your study time. I struggled with SC and RC as well as overall time management before starting the course. Following the program, I scored in the 87th percentile for sentence correction and vastly improved not only my time management but overall score.

The teaching methods used are intuitive to follow, starting with the fundamentals and building upon that to move onto more advanced question styles. Furthermore, there are countless practice questions within the scholaranium to reinforce each topic that you have learned.

The material does not stop there as the team at e-GMAT provides interactive live sessions where you work on various question styles to best prepare for the exam. You also have several mocks to assess your potential score on exam day and identify your weaknesses.

Rajat, Payal and the rest of the e-GMAT team will work with you to enhance your strengths and help develop your weaknesses so you perform better on exam day. I cannot recommend e-GMAT enough as it is the best service to prepare yourself.

For anyone planning to take the GMAT exam, E-gmat's curriculum is a godsend. I had a low score on Verbal (V27) in the first mock I took and the Master Comprehension module given right before the verbal module, helped me in building concepts that were required to solve the tricky and often lengthy sentence correction and critical reasoning questions. The verbal module breaks the entire SC, CR and RC into small blocks where each and every possible information is covered and learning is retained due to multiple repetitions and practice and application quizzes.
Designing tests according to my aptitude in the Scholaranium platform helped me determine my exact areas of weaknesses and the areas which needed the most attention.

I was impressed with the detailed course breakdown. Verbal was my weakness but the course really helped me improve a lot. The theory for SC and CR is just phenomenal.
SC- The Modifier section of eGmat is the best you can find. The practice questions are also of the actual GMAT type.
CR- The way this seemingly abstract concept has been broken down is just too good. The learnings from this module goes well beyond GMAT exam. Needless to say it's a greatly designed module.
Quant- For me quant was never the issue. The questions given by eGmat are on a tougher side but it's better to practice.
Support- This is the main USP of eGmat. Any query and they are there for you. Even after my GMAT, they helped me in my college selection process.

I finally got a 700 in my GMAT today ( Q50 , V34) .
I wanted to take the opportunity to share my journey here to help all students who are perhaps confused among the many sources available for preparation.
I started my journey with e-GMAT sometime back and my first GMAT Prep Official mock was 560 (Q45,V22). Given an engineering background i was confident of being able to do well in Quant if i brush up on some concepts, however the Verbal score was very disappointing. Here i would like to share that even though i am a non native speaker, my medium of study has always been English - thus a V22 was shocking.
My friend recommended e-GMAT to me for improving my Verbal. Here i would like to highlight that the course is very structured with a focus on 3 stages of learning - Building a strong foundation , cementing methods learnt, Gauging the Ability through custom quizzes and full length tests. The entire Verbal course focusses on meaning based approach , which is the key to getting higher scores.
The verbal course helped me improve my point by 8 and My first GMAT attempt was at 620 ( Q43, V31). I would like to highlight here that i did not focus on Quant much except solving OG questions. While i did well in the OG questions, the actual GMAT quant was much tougher especially if you are aiming at scores above Q48. I came back and wrote to the support team in E-GMAT. Within a few hours , i got a response from them - with an analysis of my account and requesting an ESR. I did provide the ESR and again within a few hours - i got a full analysis of my ESR, where i might be going wrong and what i should be doing to improve my scores. Again a very step by step approach was suggested - with major emphasis on doing the QUANT 2.0 course.
This course is a game changer ! The structure of the course again is on the 3 stages of learning - however they very interestingly have divided the modules such that you first give a Diagnostic test ( by topic) to gauge your understanding on the topic - then you have concepts, practice tests and then GMAT level question practice. Each module has been designed the same way and in the end you are recommended to go back and do the diagnostic test.
That in itself is a proof because you immediately would see your scores increasing.
Given that I was working full time , i was looking for something structured, on point and with best ROI of my time and Quant 2.0 course of eGMAT was exactly that. I would highly recommend this to professionals as it would help you reduce your prep time significantly. One more interesting feature of the course is that you have video solutions for everything and you can adjust the speed of watching the video :)
Post the course , cementing and practicing questions - the actual GMAT test seemed much simpler and the evidence is the Q50 i scored.
I also would like to highlight the role of the support team here - DJ, Ashutosh, Nava - the response time as well as the willingness to help is really commendable. They do care for every student's score, career and time as if it was their own .
Highly recommend the course !
Good luck on your GMAT journey

'Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did"

These words above are in brief the story of my GMAT journey which spans across 3.5+ years and 5 attempts (excl. one failed GMAT online attempt).

Disappointed after getting another sub-par score in Aug 2020, I spoke to an e-GMAT mentor and enrolled for both verbal and quant course i.e. e-GMAT online course.

On my enrollment, I was advised to take a mock to understand my level of understanding from previous attempts. Based on the score in mock, I was enrolled to a mentorship program. At the time of buying the course I was not aware of any such program and didn't realize how important it will be for my preparation. This mentorship program and the scholaranium were the key factors for my 160 point score improvement and 20 point improvement in verbal section.

The mentorship program provided the customized touch for the students and encouraged students to perform better with right strategy and focus. This human touch to the prep was what I needed after 4 failed attempts. I worked with Dhananjay (DJ) during my preparation and he was the constant motivator for me as he knew that I not high on confidence after failed attempts. He provided an initial strategy to go through the course. After I have gone through the content, I was provided a plan to build my ability through the ability quizzes. As I moved closed to my exam date, DJ provided a 15 day exam readiness plan to prepare me for the exam day. This exam readiness plan helped me work on my timing strategy that I used during the exam. DJ was very reachable during the entire course and helped me achieve my target score.

Scholaranium provided insights into the type of questions that I was getting wrong. This data driven approach helped me identify gaps in my preparation and guided me to concepts or process that I needed to revise or needed to get polished to it right in exam.

In terms of content of the course, verbal course is one of the best that I came across during my preparation. The focus on getting the process right for solving each type of question led me to use a structured approach (3 stage process) for each question. This provided clarity during the exam as I was not left on my own to find the right approach and also led me to reduce the time required to solve each question. Moving on to the quant course, it is one of the most comprehensive course. It covered all concepts that are tested on GMAT. The course is structured in such a way to develop a good memory of concepts on topics such as number properties or geometry. The quant course pushed my quant score from 49 to 50.

I will be happy to address any further queries. Please drop a message on LinkedIn.

Apologies for the inadvertent typos

Saying that signing up for e-GMAT was the best investment decision I had taken in the last year, would be an understatement. I had heard great things about the platform so decided to invest in e-GMAT's online course to get to my target score as quickly as possible. Firstly, I was blown away by the personalised attention I was able to receive on an "Online platform"! My queries on email were resolved within 24 hours and I was provided a well-detailed strategy to get to my target score. Secondly, I did not have to think too much about working with multiple sources and questions since the strategy laid out by the e-GMAT team and the scholaranium platform's ability to diagnose one's weaknesses to the dot is unparalleled. This saved me several hundred hours of my time which I would have otherwise spent refining areas which would not have impacted me much. Finally, I would like to thank Rajat and the entire e-GMAT team for being personally invested in the success of the users on the platform and going beyond their duties to provide an amazing experience to them. This is something I cannot imagine any other platform every providing. If you wish to score well on the GMAT on the first attempt, do not think twice- e-GMAT is the way to go!!
