Strengths:

in depth knowledge and videos about everything you need to know about the GMAT

Would make the product better:

The verbal videos dont have a play back speed, having those and something like Pace which is implemented in the Quant section will really help out

I took the Sigma X mock and scored 370. I worked on my online study plan and started working on the Quant section for the first month and then the Verbal section in month 2. After finishing each topic I took the cementing quizzes and worked on my error logs.
Even though the error logs are lengthy can be alot of work, it is worth the effort because it actually helps you pinpoint your mistakes and shows you if there is a pattern or a topic I needed to go back and review
Overall I would recommend the course
it is well worth the money

Strengths:

1) Excellent data:
The course provides broad level as well as very granular data on the questions that you solve. This data is critical in the improvement and learning process.

2) Doubt and strategy support:
the E-GMAT team was kind enough to extend an invite for their Last Mile Program to me. As a part of that program a strategy expert was constantly in touch with me and designed a personalised milestone based plan for me during the last 25 days before my exam. This helped me immensely.
I even the doubt support replies to be reasonably quick(

Would make the product better:

The Verbal section video player:
It's a bit outdated. It doesn't allow you to control the speed of the videos which can be quite irritating considering that the default speed of the videos is too slow for most.
A simple speed adjustment feature in the videos would go a long way in saving the student's time.

So this was my first attempt at the GMAT. I knew next to nothing about the exam when I started looking for a preparation course and chose e-GMAT. It was one of the best decisions I took in my prep journey.

Strengths:

Meaning based approach in the verbal section.

Would make the product better:

Difficulty of Quant section was slightly higher than the difficulty of the actual GMAT.

I decided to prepare for GMAT earlier this year (2022). I started my preparation by giving an official mock, in which I scored 630. I immediately knew Verbal is my weak area and I need to improve the same. After practicing few questions from OG, I had little to no improvement in my score. This is when I decided to opt for a coaching. After extensive research, I decided to go for eGMAT course. This was one of my best decisions.
I started the course with Master Comprehension to understand the basics of a sentence. This part was really important for me as it helped me set a foundation for myself. After building my basics, I started with Sentence Correction, which was always the most difficult part for me. I gave 1.5 months to complete SC. But after the completion of the SC course, I was confident enough to answer these questions. The meaning based approach to solving the SC questions helped me a lot.
I then started off with RC and CR. I used to score pretty well in RC, but my CR scores were fluctuating continuously. This is when Rida (eGMAT mentor) provided me several extra videos to study from. These videos really helped me boost my CR scores.
I was pretty good with Quant, so I did not put much effort on it. I just practiced some topic quizzes and gave some mocks.
I decided to give my first attempt in August last week, and I scored 670 (Q47 V35).
I decided to put my focus on Quant now and practiced lot of questions of varied difficulty level. I again appeared for second attempt in mid November. This time I scored 710 (Q50 V35).
I would really like to thank eGMAT for being there with me throughout my GMAT journey and providing me the best content available for the exam.
For those who are starting their GMAT journey, I would highly recommend them to opt for eGMAT course and see the results themselves.

I took the GMAT online exam on 3rd December, 2022 and scored a 730 ( Q49 V41 ). I took a mock before starting any prep and got a score of 650. I was apparently in the 650-700 plateau stage. So, I signed up for the e-GMAT course on 2nd July, 2022. I totally loved the course. Everything is extremely detailed. It start from the basics courses ( Quant Basics for Quant and Master Comprehension for Verbal ). Both of which helped me strengthen my foundation. The concept files are well made. You have practice files and application files. In the Scholaranium, you've plenty of questions, supplemented by Analytics that tell you how much time you took, what are you strong areas, weak areas, and even the difficulty progression. Even the forums, doubt resolution is really good. I was even assigned a Strategy Expert throughout. So, all in all, I would highly recommed this course to everyone. Thank you E-Gmat.

After deciding to give the GMAT Exam in April 2022 , I decided to study through the OG and the material available on the internet . Though I was able to solve Quant questions but Verbal was giving me nightmares specially the under confidence in SC questions. In June 2022 , I attended free webinars on SC, CR and RC sections organised by e-GMAT and was impressed by its approach to the verbal section.

Finally, with less than 30 days of my GMAT exam date , I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared to give my shot at the GMAT EXAM . But the reality shook me hard when I gave the mock on the EGMAT platform and scored a mere 620 with Q48 and V27 . I was disheartened , and immediately seeked support of EGMAT team . They were very considerate and assigned me a mentor , who came as a saviour to me . My mentor Abha Mohan , helped me charting a structured approach of targeting my exam . She gave me a schedule , task list to be completed wherein every task had to be completed in sequence , no hopping over ( which was the mistake I was doing earlier in my self prep ) .
The Egmat approach to verbal Section is top notch . The ‘meaning based approach’ tremendously helps you in attempting the toughest of questions.
. The CR section emphasises the ‘pre-thinking’ approach. The RC section teaches you ways to effectively read a GMAT passage, focussing on the bigger picture without getting bogged down into the details . The EGMAT approach of RC helps you to understand the passage very well and saves you time from jumping back and forth to look into the passage for every question( mind you this approach helps save a lot of time) . It takes time to master it but once you do , RC becomes a lot less time consuming .

Another important part of EGMAT course are the cementing quizzes. The structured approach of attempting the cementing quizzes gradually progresses you towards to your targeted ability. The Sigma - X mocks match the actual GMAT exam to a very good extent .

In the end, I would like to highlight the importance of sticking to the process. Believe in the process taught in the modules and no matter what do not change your process while under pressure during the test.

The process helped me in achieving a major 11 point jump in verbal in just 25 days and I obtained a 700 Score ( q48 v38) in actual GMAT exam. A major 80 point jump to my mock score.

This would not have been possible without support and motivation of my mentor Abha Mohan . She had been a constant support through my journey , very quick in responding to my queries and resolving them .

I would also like to thank Rajat and Payal for the awesome Platform they have created and also the entire EGMAT team who work tirelessly to provide quality GMAT Prep to students worldwide.

I decided to join eGMAT course when I scored only 640 (V25 Q50) in dec'21. Obviously, I cancelled my score. At this point, I understood that I needed to change my preparation strategy, mainly in the verbal section.

For Sentence Correction, the meaning-based approach is the real game changer. Even though I did not manage to get all SC correct under 90 seconds per question, I improved overall accuracy and planned to sacrifice few questions at the end of the verbal section (It is a risky strategy but somehow worked for me). My real intention was to get the first 20 questions right at any cost.

For Critical reasoning, approach for assumption, evaluation and boldface questions was very useful. My boldface question horror story ended immediately after starting CR module. (Pre-think was never my cup of tea and I relied solely on process of elimination)

For Reading comprehension, I watched two video links of recorded live classes by Harsha. He did not say anything new or fancy, but whenever I struggled in RC, I watched these two videos.
Finally, Thanks to Kanupriya who guided me during the course. She analyzed my weak areas and assigned tasks on daily basis to attack the low hanging fruits (I do not know why like this term, but I like it).

Being a non-native speaker, it was never an easy task for me to get a decent verbal score on the GMAT exam. With the strategical approach of eGMAT, I got a score of V36 (from V25).

I started my GMAT preparation in May 2022. After reviewing a few of the online courses and after consulting with my seniors who have aced GMAT before, I enrolled for the 4-month course at E-GMAT on 5 May 2022. I gave my 1st Sigma-X Mock Test and scored a 700 (Q-47, V-38).
I was quite elated with the score and thought that a little practice in verbal will help me improve my score to 720+.
I prepared a Personalised Study plan in the E-GMAT portal with the aim to complete the course within 1.5 months. I was supposed to study for 2 hrs on weekdays and 4/5 hrs on weekends
However, working in an essential service sector has its own problems. With extended work hours and extra duties, I could not dedicate more than 1 hr to preparation in the initial days and I could complete much less than I planned in the 1st one month.
I realised that only studying at night after returning from office will not help me. Hence, I decided to study for 1 hour in the morning before going to office and study for 1 hr after returning. I realised that this was a much more effective technique.
The Verbal module at E-GMAT is very structured and concept-wise exhaustive. I followed the recommended study plan for the entire verbal module. It was quite effective and I would suggest everyone to follow the recommended path and not jump around among the topics.
The path I followed was Master Comprehension, Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, and then Reading comprehension. What’s important is to complete and solidify the concepts of each Topic before moving to the next one. Hence after completing the concept files, application files, and practice files, complete the cementing quizzes (1 Medium and 2 Hard) before moving to the next topic.
The techniques taught for Verbal at E- GMAT such as Pause points for comprehension, Pre-thinking for Critical Reasoning, and Meaning-based approach for Sentence correction really help to ace the verbal questions irrespective of the difficulty levels.
Since I scored high in quants in my 1st mock and being from an engineering background, I thought quants will be quite easy for me. However, soon I realised that being out of touch with Maths for around 6 yrs has impacted the agility and confidence with which I used to solve math problems. I realised that there were some concepts that require some policing. The PACE system in Quants helped me in this regard. From my performance in the initial evaluation quizzes for each topic, it identified the modules that I can skip and those I have to go through. This saved a lot of time. The difficulty level of harder quant problems at E- GMAT was a bit more than the actual test. Hence it helps us prepare better for the actual tests.
I took the other Sigma-X Mock Tests and scored 670-720. However, in the official mocks I scored 740 & 750.
It took my 1st official GMAT test and scored 700 (Q 46, V 40).
I was a bit disappointed with the result, considering the high scores I got in the Official Mocks.
I approached E-GMAT for guidance and they inducted me in their Last Mile Program (LMP) program. Mrs. Abha Mohan, one of their experts, made a thorough analysis of my ESR report and prepared a customised plan for me with milestones and timelines, and guided me through my journey. She guided me to identify the areas I have scope for improvement and advised me the topics that I should revise and even provided additional study materials. She prepared customised exam plans and even gave me mental support during times I got panicky and worked up during the preparation time. The entire E-GMAT team was also kind enough to provide me free access to the entire portal for around 2 weeks during my last leg of preparation.
I gave my second GMAT test on 20 November 2022 and scored a 740 (Q51, V38).
I owe my success to the entire team of E-GMAT. Without their support, this wouldn’t have been possible.

I worked with Abha Mohan from the eGMAT team for my GMAT preparation. I had taken the exam before and was planning to retake it to see if I can further improve my verbal score. Given that I was applying in Round 1, I had a deadline and despite this, Abha came up with the best plan possible to improve my verbal skills. During our time, Abha helped me identify my weak concepts and improve them through Scholaranium. I found it especially helpful that I could build tests (easy, medium, difficult) on concepts that I needed to retain and improve. Having target metrics from eGMAT on how much I needed to score on each of these tests helped me keep track of my progress.
In addition, Abha stayed in communication throughout my prep to monitor my progress and iterate on the structured plan that she had laid out.

While I couldn't end up improving my verbal score, I'm thankful to Abha and eGMAT team for the support I received during this process. I knew I gave it my all and I couldn't have done it without their support and resources. Thank you eGMAT team!

Hello Everyone!

Some of my learnings through my GMAT journey with eGMAT are listed below:
- [ ] For most working professionals, You’ll have to be on your toes to get the work done. Your energy levels are very important and you must preserve them during your study hours, mock attempts and beyond.
- [ ] Absorb the ‘Structured Approach’ and make it second nature. The sooner you’ll do so, the sooner you’ll achieve a better takt time, the time it takes for a correct attempt. Once you have your concepts in place, refining these process application steps is the only way you’ll reach the 36th question with some time in hand. The better you comprehend, the better you’ll sail through each sub section, be that be of Verbal or Quant.
- [ ] The art of letting go: If only we were taught how to attempt exams, many would have thrived playing on their strengths and taking minimum harms elsewhere. Though GMAT score depends on your performance on each sub-section, after surpassing a cumulative difficulty level, let data of your past attempts and your intuition(general comfort level) with a question guide you on making strategical skips. After all, it’s about finishing your section attempt with Hard questions. Don’t get attached too much to a question or you’ll never even get to read the last few questions.
- [ ] Error log importance : Quality over Quantity. Maximum learning is extracted while reviewing your mistakes. In the crucial minutes after mocks or simple tests, which leave you exhausted, do review questions in which you took too long to finalise a choice, in which you weren’t able to eliminate the choices per your reasoning skills, in which you weren’t able to comprehend the meaning, etc. Remember, if you dig deep enough, it’s always lack of a diligent and intentional shift in comprehension that results in an unsure attempt. Read the above sentence again.
- [ ] Seeing them as Life skills : critical thinking, active prediction, finding main points, sentence level comprehension, short circuiting details. I respect this exam for the skills it has helped me engender. Your level of awareness of your surroundings will be unparalleled and you just might reach to the levels of Sherlock, Dr. Gregory House and the other high functioning sociopaths who thrive on drawing inferences by observing their surroundings.
- [ ] Make it purpose of your life, but only for a continuous stretch of 4/5 months, otherwise it’ll hang over your head like Betal. Don’t make it a ghost hanging over your head leaving you tired in your everyday life. Preserve your energy, be fierce with protecting your time, be calm and observant during your learning hours, cement the learnings and reflect on them during your ordinary hours. In a short amount of time, you might even absorb these test skills to make them life skills.
- [ ] Comprehension extracts the meaning which is core to solving each and every verbal question. As you read the sentence written as is and try to make sense out of those juggle of words, you’ll know what’s wrong and what’s correct. Use some rules+common sense to sail through. GMAT is a test of reasoning ability and not of English language. Do remember this fact.
- [ ] Hats off to Payal and Rajat for putting together such a detailed course. Each question offers multiple learnings and is designed to maximise the variety of takeaways for the user. Shraddha, Kanupriya, Stacy, Arathy and most importantly Harsha have laid out such thorough and informative explanations that one is bound to excel if they follow the words closely.
- [ ] Lastly, it was through the kind and considerate mentorship of Abha that I was able to put this exam to an interim rest. From scoring a 610 on my first mock test to 740s and 750s towards the end, I was able to significantly improve my performance through her guidance. After scoring a 640 at my first official attempt and facing extreme network instability during the second, I was a bit afraid to go over this barrier score of 640. The test readiness stage orchestrated by Abha helped me maintain my mock temperament during this official attempt to a great extent and I was able to achieve a 710. I might go for another attempt to justify the ability I have built and the time I have put into this exam. However, I wish I could have ended it sooner. Don’t let this journey turn into a vicious cycle.

All the best fellow aspirant!

Regards
Mohit
