e-GMAT's mentorship program was the X-factor in my reaching the 700 mark. When I approached e-GMAT to help me with the study plan it asked me to take a mock to benchmark my level. I scored 640 on the mock and the folks at e-GMAT helped me identify areas of improvement. During one such discussion I was told that e-GMAT had a mentorship program and that if I was interested I could join one. I was introduced to Ashutosh and he was considerate enough to mentor me even though it had been a month since he started mentoring a batch and had no place for an extra person.

Few of the features of the mentorship plan:

1. You are given a weekly plan detailing out what to study each day and how much time to spend on each. There were weekly check ins to gauge the progress. These really helped me stay focused and complete the assigned tasks as there was a sense of accomplishment
2. The batch would catch on a fortnightly basis to discuss problems and help each other out. Ashutosh would help us with various strategies and help course correct when someone got astray
3. Ashutosh was just a call away and he would always respond to calls/texts, no matter when I pinged him. He was really invested in my progress and helped me achieve what I did

The course content of e-GMAT is very well curated and covers everything one needs to ace the GMAT. Scholaranium is a wonderful tool to test your ability and track your progress. It has around a 1000 questions in each of Quant and Verbal and each GMAT question type is very well covered. Each question has a detailed solution/explanation and the best part is that it not only provides a detailed explanation for the correct answer choice, but also provides a detailed explanation for each wrong answer choice. One can post one’s queries on each and every question and get a detailed explanation within 24 hours. I am amazed by the level of commitment and knowledge each and every one at e-GMAT has. The analytics available helps you pinpoint your weak areas so that you could go back to the study material to improve.

Just today I was speaking to a colleague about GMAT and when he mentioned that SC was his weak area, I immediately recommended e-GMAT course to him. Such has been the impact e-GMAT had on my prep.

I highly recommend this course to all those who want to crack the GMAT. Right from the course content to the mentors and faculty, e-GMAT is a class apart.

E-GMAT's Mentorship program is a sure-shot means to achieving a top GMAT score. When I approached the e-GMAT strategy team for assistance with my study plan, I was fortunate enough to have been referred to Ashutosh (E-GMAT mentor), who added me to his cohort of 14 absolutely brilliant individuals. I will go through each component in detail:

1. Weekly hyper-specific study plans: Having them at my disposal helped eliminate ambiguity, and gave me a direction as to what I need to do on a daily basis. There were definitely a few weeks when I could not keep up with the deadlines due to several other engagements, but the weekly check-ins and the subsequent reprimands (haha) surely helped me stay consistent.

2. Motivation-booster: In the third month of my preparation, I was not able to score anywhere near my dream score. I felt as if I couldn’t do it, and was almost on the verge on giving up. It was then that Ashutosh helped me believe in myself and not give up, at least not without a fight. We also had strategy huddle sessions every two weeks where the entire cohort met virtually, discussed individual problems and where we were presented with case studies describing the flaws in different study plans and ways to avoid them. Having people transverse the same journey as yours, undoubtedly helps you in staying motivated and trusting the process.

3. Course-Correction: I absolutely hated making error logs, the primary reason why I was not achieving my dream score. After taking a few mocks, Ashutosh and I had a call wherein he pinpointed how I absolutely need to identify the pattern in my mistakes. That advice worked like magic. Although, I didn’t continue with the error log for too long, it definitely helped me streamline the most important phase of my preparation.

4. E-GMAT Course: Last but not the least, the e-GMAT course is one of the best courses available currently. It goes over all the minute details, and also provides the user with regular feedback points to evaluate one’s understanding in a particular topic. It is the only resource you need to prepare for the GMAT.

I would highly recommend this program to all aspiring test-takers. These mentors work with an unmatched passion because they really want you to succeed. Ashutosh was always available for me, and answered even my most frivolous queries without a sign of irritation. All he ever asked for in return was sincerity and consistency. Most importantly, I’m grateful to the entire e-GMAT team for such a seamless and a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.

eGMAT Mentorship is a GMAT experience with a human face. It can be challenging to have a tight study schedule with competing work and family obligations. In such a situation, eGMAT mentorship is a saviour because it not only saves you time by providing you with a clear path to achieve your GMAT goals but also keeps you motivated and pulls you back when you are going off the course. This in particular is key as consistency is the most important factor for the GMAT.

The eGMAT online platform is also one of the best I have seen so far:

· The way the course is designed e.g. it is very easy to listen to all the theory through videos and then practise on files through various quizzes to cement the concepts.

· The SIGMA mock tests give you analytics on time taken per question and section of the GMAT. This is as close to the ESR as you can get. This was crucial for me and my mentors to understand what was happening to me in the test mode and devise a strategy to get over my areas of weakness.

* I was skeptical about my scope to improve on Quant but eGMAT made it possible. Without the exceptional support and guidance from Karan and Ashutosh, I do not think this would be possible.

If you have limited time and are keen to get a good score, I would recommend the eGMAT mentorship program without a doubt. I owe my score almost entirely to them. My only regret is, I wish I had found them earlier.

I started my GMAT journey late January so I had four months to study before my first exam on May 18. On the test date, I went there just to find out that the test center was closed (even though I was receiving all confirmation emails normally), so I rescheduled the test for 2 days later in another location (6 hours away from the city I live in). I took the test and got a 700 (35V, 49Q).

In these first 4 months I studied mainly with MPrep theory for verbal and quant and question bank from OG. My OG mocks were around 710-730 so I expected something closer to 710-720. And after the test, I felt that I had exhausted my study materials and even though I wanted to retake the exam, I didn't know where to begin or where to focus.

So, in early June I contacted eGmat, since I knew my biggest weakness was Verbal. We discussed my test performance (with the ESR) and I went through all the theory through their platform, but now what really changed was not the concepts per se, but how to apply their method (pre-think, don`t skim, etc...) and stick to it. A month later, I took a new mock and got a 750, which got me very excited.

That's when I contacted their Support to make sure I was ready to reschedule the test. In the following 15 days, Ashutosh worked closely with me, providing me guidance on where to focus and reviewing my progress every two days. My main weakness by then was CR, that I needed an extra focus to make sure I was going to excel in the test day. A week before the test I took another mock, which I scored 740. This made me feel confident that was really ready.

I took the test again July 18 and got a 730 (39V, 50Q) and felt so relieved! Now I`m working on the app process.

I can confidently say that eGmat was an exceptional part of my study improvement for two main reasons: (1) the mocks are HARD, but somewhat similar to test day, (2) they go deep into sticking to the method and that was a key differential + their quizzes are great for further practice (specially medium and hard questions, that are tough to find).

The handholding aspect is a must have if you like to study alone, but want some guidance during the process. I really appreciated Ashutosh support and feedback during the process. It gave me an extra energy to keep studying specially during the final days before the test.

My journey with e-GMAT began in the beginning of March, 2020. After having done extensive research on GMAT Club, I came to the conclusion that 2-3 months of solid prep should be enough for my target score of 750. After giving the first mock test, I realised that I was weak in the verbal section (Especially SC) and needed assistance. I looked over the reviews for online courses on GMAT Club and concluded that e-GMAT would be the perfect fit for me.

For most part of March, I casually solved questions from the OG and went through some of the SC material at e-GMAT. While the material was really good, I was not very confident in my ability to apply the concepts yet. That is when I received a call from Ashutosh at e-GMAT who asked me if I'd be interested in sort of a group mentorship program wherein I'd receive more personal attention. He had gone through one of my mocks and said that by working together we could get my score to reach that 750 mark. I decided to give it a shot and I am glad I did.

For the next 2 months, Ashutosh crafted personalised weekly plans for me and constantly pushed me to achieve those targets. He helped me realise the value of cementing the concepts first rather than aimlessly attempting a large number of questions. My confidence in SC increased considerably as I then began to cement my concepts through the Scholaranium questions on e-GMAT. Scholaranium is a wonderful platform with a wide array of challenging questions and it certainly helped me get a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. In addition to this, the performance of my peers in the mentorship group motivated me to improve further. With the mentorship, I followed a more focused and well crafted path to my target score.

One of the biggest advantages of this program is that your mentor is always there to solve any queries you might have and will give you personalised attention. All my mock attempts were carefully analysed and I was suggested areas where there was scope for improvement. My performance in the mocks improved and I became increasingly confident heading in to the test. I took 8 mocks and the scores read : 710,730,770,770 (Sigma-X), 730 and 760 (GMAT Prep), 710 (MGMAT) and 730 (Kaplan).

On the D-Day, I was certainly more relaxed than I had expected to be. Since Quant was my strong suit, I attempted that first. Things went fine till I encountered the first few questions on the verbal section. Not being able to solve the first 3-4 questions, I flustered and ended up wasting time unnecessarily. Luckily, this panic mode did not last long and I was able to get myself back on track. Following the time management techniques recommended to me by e-GMAT helped me a lot. As I finished my test, I was incredibly satisfied to see myself achieve my target score of 750. Yes, I was perhaps a tad disappointed I didn't get a V40+ but achieving the 750 mark was the aim all along and I had pulled it off. All that hard work had paid off.

All in all, I benefited greatly from e-GMAT and its mentorship program. I would certainly recommend e-GMAT to anyone who is serious about cracking the GMAT.

Good luck to everyone reading this and I hope you all achieve your goals!
