After months of trying to ace the gmat through self study, I decided to attend a free webinar offered by e-GMAT. Post the webinar I decided to purchase the course and I only wish I had taken this step a bit sooner.

The entire course is structured so well that the need to refer to other sources doesn't arise at all. The course lays great emphasis on conceptual understanding and application, and this is exactly what is required. I saw great improvements in both RC and CR. The e-GMAT reading strategy helped me tremendously in understanding complex passages, and the meaning approach in SC and the pre-thinking strategy in CR made an even greater difference for me.

I would like to highlight one of the best features of this course - the Scholaranium. This huge question bank was my favourite. The interface allows one to tailor the quizzes as per ones requirements. It is a great tool to help strengthen the application of concepts. Another aspect I loved about the Scholaranium was the detailed solution provided for each question. These solutions helped me further my application skills.

The course includes 5 sigma X mocks. I found these mocks in line with the level of difficulty of the actual test. The scoring in the mocks is also quite accurate. One might feel that 5 mocks are too less, but honestly, they are more than enough, and using the option to create quizzes, one can definitely create full fledged sections.

Finally, I'm grateful to e-GMAT's Last Mile Program and my mentor Atreya Roy. Atreya really helped me identify my weak areas quickly and ensured that I focus just on them. He kept me motivated even on days when I wouldn't do well on my quizzes or mocks. Without him, I don't think I would've been able to improve my score in just one month. A big shoutout to him!

I had pre-conceived thoughts about an online tutoring program and it's efficiency, and was initially skeptical about choosing the e-gmat online course. But, I was proved wrong! The course is curated in a very structured manner. The personalized study plan actually works! It helped me pace myself efficiently. Best part of e-gmat course was the SC component. It helped me secure a 98th percentile on the particular section. The meaning based approach yielded dividends on the exam. CR and RC materials are on point as well. The Scholaranium made a huge difference. Cementing, Custom and Ability quizzes really prepped me up for the exam. Overall, the course was amazing.

I was approached by the e-gmat team for the Last Mile Program and Atreya Roy ( big kudos to him) turned out to be my mentor. The best parts of the LMP are the guidance and review sessions. Atreya spent a good chunk of time curating the right personalized strategies for me to implement. He was always reachable (even for the silliest of the doubts). The plan was easy to grasp and follow. The constant monitoring and the push from the mentor's end definitely helped me ease through the last mile of my preparation. Big thanks to Atreya and his team for guiding me through my prep journey. I would definitely recommend e-gmat course for any gmat aspirant.

I started preparing for my GMAT in early July 2020 and gave my first attempt at October 13th 2020. I had prepared well, I was scoring 710-720 in official mocks and I was hoping to convert the same in my real test, but I got shocked when I ended up with a 660. Now, I have always had a fear of tests, I tend to do well in prep, mocks and solve questions with high accuracy during my practice in a limited time frame, but the D-day is where it all goes wrong. So I decided, I will go with a nothing to lose attitude and attempt gmat once more in a month. In my second attempt, I ended up with a 670. One month and 10 point improvement was not what I was expecting. I thought since I have a good momentum going, I will focus on gmat for one more month completely and try to just beat my current score, whatever it maybe. I subscribed to the egmat course and I ended up with a 680 (Q50, V32). I wasn't completely satisfied but I took it in my stride and started thinking of applications.

I decided to give one last attempt in July 2021 before I start my applications, and that's when I resumed my egmat subscription in May and asked for help from a mentor to guide me through the prep and correct me in case I go wrong. And since the first day itself, Atreya was as involved in my prep as I was. I was given a complete day to day plan with instructions on how to review the errors I was making. Since I had lost touch in the last 5 months, it was not easy to pick up right where I left off. But within 1 month, my mock scores went from 690s to 740s. My verbal improved from V34 to V42 in my mocks and my Quant stayed consistent at Q49. I was given a constant push from Atreya to hit Q50 in every mock I give. And that is when the error log and going through the explanations helped me a lot. Through the data analytics after my each test, I was able to understand that I was making a lot of errors in the Number systems and word problem sections and I went back to the drawing board to do concept cementing quizzes to better my quant performance. And it worked within a week of consistent effort. For verbal, what helped my performance was patience to go back and do the questions using the correct approach. Trust me, meaning based approach to solve SC questions is a miracle. It surpasses the need to find flaws in a sentence and saves a ton of time and effort. Similarly reading skills are really important for CR and RC. Having a proper approach really helps in answering these questions.

I was still super afraid of the tests as a lot of it was banking on the score, but one thing that sigma mocks helped me do is to gauge my performance in a gmat and gain some confidence. The mocks are really close to the gmat exam, especially the verbal section, which will test your test taking temprament very well.

In the final 2 weeks, all my weak focus areas were pointed and Atreya was able to get me help from all the subject matter experts in a very short time frame. He very dilligently helped me everyday with my doubts and questions and kept the motivation up till th every last day of my exam. It helped me a lot to get over my nerves and do better.

I would recommend e-GMAT to anyone who is planning to start their prep. It is always helpful to have a constant guiding light when one is confused about so many things.
