I’ve used e-GMAT extensively over the past year for both GMAT Classic and GMAT Focus preparation, and I can confidently say that this platform has been a cornerstone of my success. With its structured curriculum, excellent resources, and unmatched mentorship, e-GMAT offers everything you need to tackle the GMAT with confidence.
Over the course of my preparation, e-GMAT helped me transform my approach to the GMAT. The Verbal course significantly boosted my confidence, especially in CR and RC. Meanwhile, the Quant modules clarified those tricky concepts that might slip through the cracks.

e-GMAT isn’t just a course—it’s a complete GMAT preparation ecosystem. Whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to break into the top percentiles, e-GMAT provides the resources and mentorship you need to succeed. Highly recommended!

I had taken-up the egmat course to mainly improve my Quant & DI sections:

Quant, DI & Verbal Courses: The structure of the course is very useful in that, it covers almost concept in every sub-topic in great detail. There are comprehensive video tutorials, followed by practice questions and sectional practice quizzes. Doing these diligently ensures that you are well placed for getting a top score in each section

Scholarium: This is more than just a question bank. It allows to closely simulate the actual exams - by picking specific sections and improving ability in a timed manner. This is a super helpful tool.

SigmaX Mock Exams: I found these mock exams very helpful in gauging my test preparedness. These mock exams are crucial to improve the section-wise and overall timing and accuracy

LMP: Rida was a great mentor who was very supportive at every step and provided detailed feedback on weak areas and the steps to be taken to improve.

After scoring 700 and 730 on my first 2 attempts on GMAT classic, struggling both times on the Verbal section, something needed to change. The change came in the form of me enrolling for the E-GMAT course. E-GMAT helped me to improve my scores from v39 on classic to v 87 on the focus edition- 99th percentile on verbal. E-GMAT's strategy to pre-think while solving CR questions was game changer for me in solving CR questions. Additionally, its well curated DI curriculum helped in bringing me scores up from DI 77 on mocks to DI 80 on the actual exam. Rida- my mentor's- dedicated strategy and constant communication was really helpful to keep me focused and motivated during my entire journey, in a world wherein I had strike a balance between heavy office workload and my GMAT prep.

E-GMAT has been my trusted partner throughout my GMAT journey which started in November 2020 till February 2021 and then restarted in July 2022 till March 2024.

It offers an excellent product with personalized support. The product itself is amazing with the course material, scholaranium and mock tests suited for every student. The data driven insights we get during the preparation helped me gauge my ability level from time to time. It helped me charter my own path in achieving my targets.

The personalized mentorship I've received was class apart and I truly believe they went above and beyond in helping me identify my issues, provide a structured approach to addressing those issues and an unparalleled mentorship from identifying the issues to overcoming them.

At E GMAT, I felt like I was not just an account for them, but they made it their mission to help me reach my goals. There were times when I gave up and they were there to push me forward with data backed insights motivating me to reach my target.

A huge shout out to Rida for being an amazing mentor.

Embarking on the GMAT journey as a medical professional presented unique challenges, given my decade-long hiatus from mathematics and limited exposure during high school. The quest for a comprehensive and effective GMAT preparation course led me to e-GMAT, an invaluable resource that played a pivotal role in my journey from a 550 to a remarkable 760.

1. Structured Learning with Quant course:
e-GMAT's Quant course was the bedrock of my success. The structured learning approach, with GMAT-like practice files and the crucial step of Cementing, went beyond mere content delivery. While initially skeptical about the stages of learning, I soon realized their significance. The methodology ensured a solid foundation for tackling hard-level questions.

2. Scholaranium:
Scholaranium became my home, gym, and rehearsal arena. It was not just a question bank but a comprehensive platform that allowed me to confront fears, gauge self-esteem, and measure progress accurately. The detailed explanations provided by e-GMAT tutors and discussions with fellow students were instrumental in guiding me towards mastery. Moreover data analysis and track record of performance over time allows you to know which areas to improve, at which level your preparation lies at any given moment, and when you are truly ready for test day.

3. Last Mile Program (LMP) and Mentorship:
The Last Mile Program, coupled with personalized mentorship from Rida Shafeek, was a game-changer. The program's strategic focus, coupled with Rida's insightful feedback, ensured my efforts and focus were aligned with the goal. External feedback from experts proved to be the catalyst for improvement, from both a test-performance and emotional level, offering a perspective that self-assessment could not provide alone.

4. Verbal Reinvention:
Recognizing the need to strengthen my verbal skills, I turned to e-GMAT's comprehensive verbal modules. Harshavardhan's teaching style and the emphasis on Pre-thinking skill not only improved my GMAT performance but also had positive repercussions on my real-life reading and comprehension skills.

5. Quality over Quantity:
e-GMAT's emphasis on quality learning over the quantity of questions attempted was a crucial revelation. The meticulous analysis of imperfections, saved in your Error Log, and scrutinized for underlying causes ensured a transformative learning experience. This approach was instrumental in my progression through learning stages and ultimately achieving mastery.

6. Realistic Mock Experiences:
Sigma-X Mocks provided an accurate simulation of the test environment. They highlighted the stark reality that performance in a controlled quiz setting doesn't necessarily mirror the high-stakes scenario. This awareness was crucial in managing expectations and refining my approach for test day.

7. Strategic Approach to Anxiety Management:
The strategic approach to anxiety management, particularly in the final days leading to the test, was a distinctive feature. Understanding that test day success requires a holistic approach—combining skill, calmness, focus, stamina, motivation, and resilience—was a pivotal realization.

In conclusion, my journey with e-GMAT was not just a trajectory of improving GMAT scores; it was a transformative experience. The structured learning, personalized mentorship, and emphasis on quality over quantity make e-GMAT a standout choice for any student, especially those facing unique challenges. If you seek a course that goes beyond content delivery, providing strategic guidance and a holistic approach to GMAT preparation, e-GMAT should be at the top of your list.

I was struggling to find right direction. Even after putting hours of work, I could not improve my score before joining e-GMAT. The process that is taught in the videos makes the results consistent and repeatable. Just knowing the theory isn't enough, if you are looking to score 700+. Additionally, Rida's mentorship in e-GMAT's LMP really helped me in getting into the mindset of the exam. Platform's exhaustive content and application modules prepared me to deal with exam stress, leading to a 730. On top of that, e-GMAT also has IR modules, which are really help you to be thorough with your preparation. Also, my RC performance improved by 30-40% just by having a 2-hr session with Harsha. e-GMAT provided me support throughout my journey for which I am very grateful. I hope that this review helps people make a more informed decision.

The Egmat course is an extremely useful tool to approach the GMAT exam. It is a very structured course with great walkthroughs and pointers throughout. The Scholaranium 2.0 tool is very convenient for practice and allows for rapid improvement with its range of questions and explanations. The meaning based approach for SC questions in verbal is great but still feel the actual test is more inclined towards testing idiomatic structure. The mentorship programme too is a great part of Egmat as you are guided in a very focused manner towards the examination by experts personally. The best parts of the course are the comprehensive analysis it throws at you at each stage, the variety of topics and questions and some fairly accurate mocks. All in all after being exposed to few other popular Gmat preparation programmes I would personally reccomend the Egmat platform.
