My verbal score was stuck since I was a non-native English speaker and I was not well versed with the rules required to crack SC .

The CR and SC tactics explained in the e-gmat course helped me pass through that hurdle unscathed.

Another struggle that I faced was with RC. I took a lot of time to solve the RC questions. Once I started applying the RC tactics suggested in the e-gmat course, I was seamlessly solving the questions well within a stipulated time limit.

The scholarium was very useful with the cementing quizzes helping me to bolster my concepts

Tl;dr - e-Gmat provides you with ALL the tools necessary to ace the GMAT.

If you're still reading through the reviews of GMAT courses, chances are you are still looking for that "perfect course", the course that will take your GMAT scores through the roof. I'm here to shatter your dreams. There's NO such course.

However, e-GMAT is pretty darn close to that. e-GMAT will provide you with the tools necessary to ace the test.

Out of all the options, WHY would you go for e-Gmat? I'll tell you why you should.

1) Structured Approach - No more ambiguity on how to approach a problem. Whatever the GMAT throws at you, you're equipped with the right approach to tackle it.

2) Discussion forums - Whatever doubts you may have, chances are some of the tens of thousands of other students who went through the same materials might have thought just like you did, too. Their questions (your questions) will be in the discussion forums, which is btw conveniently RIGHT under each question, and the questions are, most of the time, already answered.

3) EXCELLENT Customer Service- Remember that time you wanted to contact the customer service of some company and you had to wait days on end to come to a solution? Well, that won't happen with these guys. They are dang fast.

4) Scholaranium - With these particular tools, you'll be able to focus on the areas that you're weak at. You can figure out where you are going wrong and fix those. What better way to improve yourself?

I used egmat 3 times can you believe that?
In 2018, i gave my 1st prep test got 640. Saw the Egmat standard videos claiming x hours into our course gives Y results.
So i believed and took the course. I prepared using the course, didnt finish their scholaranium module. Went through videos once.
So their claim might be true provided those X hours you are extremely focused.

That claim of X hours for Y results is the worst thing that happened to me.

So now why 5/5 review?

Its not the course that changes the trajectory, its YOU.
The course really is best in market, the quality of both verbal and quant is too good. It has everything one needs to cross 700.

For a person who is weak in verbal, this course can help greatly. Provided you understand and listen to whats being told in videos.

There are dozens of techniques in market for verbal, and Egmat techniques are best suited for a non native like me.

Overall, i for quant club tests are GOAT. However the difficulty level of club quant tests is lower than actual tests.

For verbal egmat is a handsdown best course in market. I would still opt for Egmat because i believed in their methods.
I purchased the course in 2018,2019 2020.

Although i wish they gave better deal but thats ok. The journey was worth it.

The best part about the e-GMAT course is that I could mail the team with any questions, not just related to the subject, but anything related to preparation plan, strategy, etc and they would always reply within a day. This really helped me refine my study plan at a time when I was not seeing any improvement.
The SigmaX mock also helped me accurately predict my verbal score. Though the quant score was slightly off. (I got a 640 - Q48, V30), one day before the exam.

My only negative feedback point that I have for the course is that they don't have an option to watch the videos at a higher speed. Given the amount of recorded content available, I took way more time than I was hoping to, just to finish watching all the content for Verbal. Since I was already doing fairly well in Quant, I did not spend much time there.

Overall, I would say the free portion of the course available is a pretty accurate representation of the whole. If you are planning to purchase this course, I highly recommend that you go through the free content available, to make sure this course is the right fit for you.

It was during the Covid lokdown that I decided to prepare for the GMAT. A friend had suggested e-gmat and I attended a couple of webinars on 2-3 weekends. The verbal webinars specially were pretty interesting and I ended up subscribing to the Online course (both Verbal and Quant).

I started with the SC section as the first step of my prep. The course was so comprehensive and the number of data points and analytics available on the performance were mind-blowing. Specially, the scores in the before and after quizzes give you such a good idea on how much you have improved post the module. In all, I would say the SC module was very useful and is a must-do for any first-time GMAT taker.

Then came the most interesting module of all, CR. Boy, the way in which each argument is broken down is wonderful and it actually helps you develop a unique way of looking at each of the CR question types.

Due to personal reasons, I did not get to spend as much time as I would have liked on the RC and the Quant modules. So, I would not be able to comment on them in detail.

In addition to the course, the most powerful tool offered as part of the e-gmat course is the 'Scholaranium'. The way in which each of the verbal questions and all the options are explained is a complete game-changer. The data points available actually help you strategise and work on your shortcomings and time management. I cannot imagine a better tool which could be made available for GMAT prep.

I had attended a couple of live sessions on SC conducted by Payal and I really liked her meaning-based approach and was able to appreciate the methodology outlines in the course even more after I attended the live classes.

After the live classes and before I gave my GMAT, I also gave 3 e-gmat mocks. Dhananjay from the support team analyzed my performance in these mocks and gave valuable inputs on how I should approach my weak areas so that I could maximize my score in the limited amount of time I had. In addition to providing inputs via mail, he also made videos of my mocks which outlined the areas/time management techniques I need to adopt. This was incredibly helpful during my last leg of prep.

Thanks e-gmat for being a part of my GMAT journey and making it memorable :)

I toyed with the idea of signing up for GMAT (or GMAT prep course) for a reasonable amount of time before I actually took the plunge. Hence, my decision to buy E-Gmat course was not an impulsive one but a well-researched one. Moreover, this was not the only platform I explored. E-Gmat conducts quite a few free webinars on various topics in quant and verbal. I attended all those webinars and I attended free sessions offered by 2-3 other platforms as well. I found that while the other options that I explored were more focussed on providing short-cuts and so-called smart tricks to ace the GMAT, E-Gmat focussed on mastering concepts and process, an approach that appealed to me.

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.

Summing up, looking for an all-inclusive GMAT package that can help you prepare despite a demanding job? E-GMAT is your answer!

E-gmat contains very good content. When one has enough time to prepare then it is the best one. Each verbal topic is very well designed and in detail. I did not had enough time to go through all of it. I suggest start preparing early. There is no short cut to have nice score in Verbal section. Practicing regulary is the best way.

I liked Quant material very much. It is in short and covers all the required topics in GMAT. It is sufficient. Practicing regulary is the best way.

Taking practice test is highly recommended but not 2-3 days before the exam. Engineers shall spend more time in verbal preparation than Quant. Verbal is not at all easy.

I gave the GMAT Online exam on August 14th,2020 after a month of intense preparation and got a score of 730(Q49,V40,IR7). This was my first attempt of the GMAT exam.

While browsing online during the start of GMAT prep days, I saw that there was a free seminar on CR hosted by e-GMAT and signed up for it to compare my ability with others. I found the seminar very useful and signed up for the e GMAT online - Verbal and Quant package.

I used the e-GMAT study planner to create a 3 and a half week 11 hr a day study plan.

Math and quant came easy to me so the course was used to gain a faster/better way of solving certain problems rather than working on fundamentals. But for people that find Math hard use the course diligently.

The verbal is the section that e-GMAT really excels at. The course helps build the fundamentals, provide a way to look at SC, RC and CR with logic and meaning. The support team was really helpful with clarifying any questions or doubts I had.
I would recommend e-GMAT's verbal package for everyone trying to improve their understanding of the verbal section.
If the platform is used properly it will definitely help in boosting your score.

Trust the process and study for GMAT with the intention of trying to use the learnings at your work rather than just from an exam point of view.

e-GMAT is my excellent partner throughout my GMAT journey - it provides me with a structured approach to break down the test into parts and pick up the parts one by one. It also emphasises a lot on cementing the knowledge you just acquired and to me this is a very scientific way of approaching an exam.

Another area that I think e-GMAT is doing great is that it has a very strong support team, I have been writing to the strategy team quite frequently and they always have good suggestions for me to adjust my progress. They also have provided detailed explanations to questions that we are not able to understand, which is quite helpful to my study too.

Hello, I got 47 on quant which was a big surprise for me as I always thought that my worst case scenario is 49. For some reason, I felt like the real gmat quant section was much harder than the official practice tests. So I signed up for e-gmat through Ashutosh. Great guy who helped me regularly with creating me detailed weekly plans and reviewed my work and progress every 3 days. I was shocked to find out how many rules I didn't know in quant especially in topics such as Number Properties. I was struggling with quant for the first time after starting the course. It's very challenging. In 3 weeks, I was able to score 50 on quant and move from 690 to 710.
