I was really impressed with what e-gmat does for the prep. Their methodology works. Hands-down the best course that's out there. It was a unique experience and it has sharpened my verbal ability by a lot. The data that these guys give in scholaranium is just next level. You just need time to work on your weaknesses and you will be set for that elusive 700+ score.

I have other friends who bought the e-gmat course. No one got less than 700. The course feels a bit slow at some point, but i believe it builds up the required basics of the language. The verbal section was so so good. Can't even describe how good it was. It was just next level. I was skeptical spending hundreds of dollars but it was so worth it as i got my 710 in the first attempt itself. If you are looking for a course, buy this blindly and then spend time on this religiously, You will not regret it.

Pros - Scholaranium to practice questions

Cons - Students may probably sleep listening to their videos for Verbal. No feature of listening to videos at 1.5x/2x plus lack of mentorship from the company. The experience was more of singing up for some AI based service.
SC may be a little average but a big big no for CR and RC.
Ideally such a well known company should have gone an extra mile to help students.
EGMAT team is quite unwilling to accept that their course was sub standard. I was wondering how a 4.9 review company can produce such a horrible course. Signing up with EGMAT is waste of both time and money.

I studied for the GMAT for more than 3 months and gave the exam for the first time on Oct 17th, 2021. I was scoring an average of 710 in my official mocks and I simulated the experience almost perfectly. So I expected somewhere around that range.

During the exam, the verbal section was way harder than I had imagined. I remember rushing through the last 7-8 questions and ended up guessing about 3 questions towards the end. Even the quant was way harder than what the official mock prepared me for. I was devastated to see a Q47, V31.

I came back and took a few weeks off to figure out where I was going wrong. I knew all the Grammar rules, I had read the MGMAT SC book, I knew the basics of argument structures and attacking an argument. I realized I wasn't conceptually challenged but something was wrong in the process approach. I was getting my answer but it was taking too long and certain question types always threw me off.

I took a consulting call from one of the strategy consultants at e-GMAT and they pointed out that my approach needs some honing and what I could do about it (I was really impressed that they didn't even try to sell the product and focussed more on me). A few weeks later I signed up for their 2 month program. But literally the next day I had to travel for an on-site project. After I was back, I had a month to go through the material and give the test again.

Their SC module changed the way I looked at SC questions. I knew all the grammar rules and I was initially solving questions solely based on grammar. Their 3 step process for Sentence correction forced me to rewire my way of thinking about SC questions. After a few cementing quizes, my SC accuracy was higher than ever before and I was feeling very comfortable.

I didn't have the time to go over the complete CR or RC modules (I probably wish I could) but I quickly gleaned a few approach strategies from a few modules and modified the way I approached verbal questions. Eg: I started making summary notes for RC passages and I started tabulating my CR arguments and derived an answer even before looking at the answer choices.

I solidified my approach through quite a few practice quizzes and official mocks. The verbal question caliber was very high and indeed prepared me better for the real GMAT.

For quant, I kept giving the GMAT Club tests and that helped a lot! I used to spend about 30 mins analyzing each Quant mock and made notes on every single strategy I missed.

I gave the exam again just after recovering from the third wave hit. This time quant was quite seamless (I expected a Q50 but got a Q49) and I could complete the verbal section with a minute to spare.

My verbal score jumped from a V31 to a V38 and I knew what exactly had changed during that month of prep and it was the approach. Not concepts. I highly recommend everyone to spend at least a month solidifying the approach and the timing (mocks, question banks) before giving the final exam. That small step boosted my score by 60 points. I do plan on giving the exam again to get to the 740 range.

All the best for your test! Let's all nail it!

E-gmat is amazing. The video lessons are espectacular, they cover all the topics and make sure you understand the foundations very well, I can say that the first time I understood several topics of the GMAT was while studying with e-GMAT. the platform is interactive, has many different ways to make sure you learn the important things and the exercises are really good and very similar to what you can expect on exam day. For me, there e-GMAT is in other category. another thing, I re-took the exam 1 year after my last attempt, so I had to review many core things in only 3 weeks and I believe it would not have been possible without e-gmat diagnostic and personalize study plan.

Honestly, I had started with GMAT preparations in June 2021 with a desire to secure an admit in ISB, but had no idea where to start from. Then, a friend from ISB suggested to take a demo class from EGMAT; I already knew that Verbal is my weakness as I was already scoring around 47-48 in Quant without any preparation. The way EGMAT focuses on Verbal section is phenomenal - I was rather shocked to know I was making mistakes on even verbal basics (P.S. I am sure there are a lot of people, especially non-native speakers, who are facing similar problems) but the way EGMAT addresses those areas for you is simply awesome. I started with SC, secondly approached CR and finally RC - the course is designed in such a great fashion that it builds momentum slowly and steadily so students can absorb to the entire core.

To highlight, Scholaranium has proved to be very helpful for additional practice. Also, one is advised to take mock tests after a fixed frequency, to check on yourself and EGMAT's sigma mock tests not only help with the same, but they will also highlight you with your weaknesses and techniques to turn them into your strengths - such is the power of the EGMAT course.

Furthermore, its Quant course helped me strengthen my core-basics and improved my timing on Quant questions. To sum-up, thank you to EGMAT team - I owe my GMAT score and my admit from ISB to EGMAT; couldn't thank you more.

This was my fourth attempt at the GMAT and I knew that this was probably going to be my last chance at breaking the 700 barrier. I gave my first attempt back in 2017 and I got a below 600 score. It was self-study using Official books, Manhattan guides and YouTube videos. For my next two attempts in 2018 (610 Q44 V31) and 2019 (640 Q48 V31) I enrolled for e-GMAT but I could not do the course properly and had to rush through the course because of my personal and work commitments. The way e-GMAT course is built, I knew it was the only course that was going to help me break the 700 barrier. So naturally I decided to go with e-GMAT for my fourth attempt and it finally worked wonders as I was finally able to get a score of 710 Q49 V37.

I started with Verbal section, and covered each topic as designed in the course. e-GMAT SC course is pure gold. All the topics in SC is super simplified. Meaning based approach in SC set a solid foundation for solving SC questions. Once you understood what the sentence was trying to communicate, it was easy to eliminate all the incorrect answer choices by applying the grammar rules. Meaning based approach was especially helpful when you have two grammatically correct choices and you have to eliminate the incorrect choice. CR course is based on Pre-thinking approach. At the start of the course, all the different parts of CR passage such as premise, fact, claim, conclusion, main conclusion, author’s point etc are clearly defined. Honestly it takes time to completely hone the pre thinking approach to arrive at assumptions. But once you consistently follow the step-by-step method to find conclusion, falsification condition and assumptions, solving CR questions using pre thinking approach becomes easy. Once I fully got the hang of the approach, I never took notes while solving CR questions. Arriving at assumptions even before looking at the answer choices saves you a lot of time while eliminating answer choices, which eventually helped me in pacing the test. While solving RC questions you use few concepts learnt in CR course. I always felt that RC was my weak area. So, I focused more on improving my ability in SC and CR than on spending too much effort on RC. One thing that I did differently this time in my preparation was that I used the cementing quizzes after each section diligently to get the desired accuracy in medium and hard questions before proceeding with the next section. This helped solidify the concepts I learned during the initial stages. I realized the value of doing cementing quizzes when I returned to verbal course again after months of doing Quant section. When revising I did not spend much time relearning the concepts, saving myself a lot of time.

Qaunt course in e-GMAT has improved significantly from 2018. The new Quant 2.0 was detailed and the summary at the end of each section was helpful during revision. I followed the same approach for qaunt with regards to cementing quizzes – getting desired accuracies in both medium and hard questions, before proceeding with next topic.

Scholaranium is a wonderful tool from e-GMAT. This is super helpful when you want to solidify your learnings, improve time management and understand your strong or weak area by giving mixed quizzes – combining all the sections in verbal or different sections in quant. By giving multiple cementing quizzes, ability quizzes and ability quizzes you are improve both your accuracy and your ability while getting comfortable with skipping questions during the tests. Do not forget to do strategic review and make notes after each attempt and before giving another attempt. OG questions feel relatively easier than the questions in scholaranium.

Lastly, the support from the e-GMAT team was wonderful. They supported me with my queries, with my subscription extensions and also pointed out my weaknesses and a way forward whenever I mailed asking for help. Thank you e-GMAT!!

I had joined another coaching institute before and even after several attempts my score was stuck at 680. So, I decided to go ahead with e-gmat after one of my friends scored a 760 with their help. I am so glad I made that decision, with e-gmat’s help I got a 710 and am optimistic about getting a 750+ in my next attempt.
Two things that stood out for me were:
1. The adaptive nature of e-gmat and the detailed analysis provided by them our accuracy and time subsection-wise and question type-wise. Their Sigma-X mock tests, Scholaranium cementing and ability quizzes are incredibly helpful in terms of not only replicating the difficulty level of the actual exam but also analysing our performance and providing in-depth solutions,
2. The 24/7 support I received from my mentor Atreya sir truly made all the difference. As an individual, I tend to procrastinate a lot but sir was always there to tailor plans for me and keep me pushing to achieve the targets he set for my gmat journey. Atreya sir constantly analyzed my performance on the platform and suggested customized, hyper-specific plans to work on my key areas of improvement. In fact, after my recent attempt, he shared a video analyzing my ESR and pointed out what I should be doing in the coming weeks in order to get that 750+ score.

With their remarkable insights, adaptive nature of their quant modules, and commendable techniques (especially their meaning-based approach and Pre-Thinking) to ace the verbal section, e-gmat is one of the best gmat courses out there. I have personally recommended to a lot of people over traditional coaching institutes. The amount of personalization and 1:1 mentoring especially in the LMT program is phenomenal.

If you’re looking to achieve your target score in the least amount of time with maximum personalization and top-notch mentoring, e-gmat is your best bet!

I cannot put into words how thankful I am for enrolling at the e-GMAT. I am now really a fan!

First of all, a quick context: when I took my first mock test, I was completely disappointed by my low score and I thought I would never make it to a 700+ due to not having an Engineering background. I was studying by solving as many questions as I could and was stuck at 600.

And then, I decided to go for e-GMAT. I was presented with a new way of preparing for the GMAT, as the course focuses much more on learning the theory and how to apply the processes than on solving large numbers of questions. And this is the catch!

e-GMAT offers modules for each of the subjects covered in the test and I went at first for SC, which was my weakest spot. I was constantly getting less than 40% of questions right. With the e-GMAY SC course, I learned how to structure my approach to each question in a way that when I proceed to look at the answers, all becomes clear. I learned what I should not do (jump to options or choose the one that sounds better). After going through the whole SC course, I learned the meaning-based approach, which further empowered me in this area, taking my accuracy up to 90% in medium-hard level SC questions. I was stunned.

As I know that my Quant was really weak too, I proceeded to the quant sections of the course. Again, I would have a diagnostic quiz, get -30% of the questions right, go through the modules and do another quiz and get up to 100% right. It really feels like Payal and the other people who explain each subject and question are patiently giving you the tools to kill ANY question while clearing your mind of doubts even before you have the time to fully think about them.

The personalized study plan, which allows you to input your current score, the hours you will be available per day, and the core you need, completely organizes your study schedule. As an intern in banking with very little free time, this really made a huge difference.

I must also highlight the fantastic tools for self-evaluation. The Sigma-X mocks, which are insanely accurate, helped me pinpoint exactly where I would have more opportunities to improve. The Scholaranium 2.0 has been paramount for the learning process as well with its advanced analytics.

I forgot to mention but the magic behind the courses is the 3 Stages of Learning approach. At first, learn the theory, then learn how to apply it, and then train your ability to solve questions with the cementing process. By not cutting any corners and following exactly what the course tells us to do, I was really able to improve in a very short time.

I must also mention e-GMAT team's attention and care. Whenever I had any doubt, I would email the support team or post a query in a question and in less than 10 hours I would get an answer (10 hours is no time if you consider that I am in Brazil and the support team is in India.). A special thanks to Dhananjay Lowe for his attention and for helping me through the process, it has been a pleasure to count on him.

And lastly, I would like to say that e-GMAT really thought me subjects that will not be forgotten even after the test itself. The verbal part helped me even with writing my motivation letters, as I would spot mistakes that I was making and that I used to ignore. I really fest that my writing skills improved!

To finish, I would like to thank the whole e-GMAT team! I thank you for helping me go through this at times stressful phase in such a peaceful and fun way. I may sound odd, but I will honestly miss Payal's explanations, the lives during the weekends, and the overall interaction with the team.

For those of you who are undecided about how to study for this test: go for e-GMAT!

Before starting the course on eGmat, I already completed a few GMAT courses from other reputed providers, but none of their approaches were well suited for my style, and despite putting up a lot of effort towards my GMAT, I could not improve my score and cross the 700 marks. After wasting three valuable attempts and a lot of money I came across eGMAT, which has excessively positive reviews for eGMAT on Gmat Club. I was skeptical at first but decided to join their free trial anyways and to my surprise, it was very thorough and teaches methods that can be used in a wide variety of questions and not just does the trick a few times and fail for the rest of the questions. Impressed by the trial, I enrolled for the full course.

My primary focus was English, where I was seriously lacking, and eGMAT delivered on the promise. When you go through the first few exercises, where they teach you how to read with pauses and introduce you to nouns and pronouns, they seem slow and nowhere near GMAT level at first but the course gradually develops your fundamental skills and prepares you for the harder questions ahead. Yes, their approach, of understanding the purpose of each part and then deducing the error in the sentence, may seem a bit slow at first because it is much faster to do a 2-3 split using some keywords and go for the answer, but as you approach harder questions this approach is your trump card. When you thoroughly understand the question, you don’t make silly mistakes and you’re more confident about the choices you mark. I can probably pinpoint a lot of things that I liked about the course, but all those are meaningless because the best thing about any GMAT prep course is that you can experience it yourself before enrolling and spending even a dime. Check out the free trial and you’ll see the difference yourself.

I still remember a quote from the founder Rajat in one of his webinars, “A lot of people say GMAT is a test of timing/time management, It is not. If you can’t solve all the questions in time, don’t. Attempt the first 27 questions correctly and mark the rest of them randomly. I guarantee you will get a score of above 700”. I made this my mantra for GMAT and, no surprises here, he was definitely right.
