GMAT review
Hello everyone! I recently took my GMAT exam on January 31st and scored 710. My preparation journey was quite lengthy and perhaps unconventional, involving multiple attempts before my latest endeavor, which fell on the final date of the current edition of the GMAT. Throughout this process, I gained invaluable insights, and I'm eager to share some of those, particularly highlighting the significant role that e-gmat played in helping me attain that score. I underwent a lengthy self preparation journey that did not result in achieving my target score. After reading several positive reviews on GMAT Club and participating in some excellent YouTube live sessions by them, I made the decision to choose e-gmat for my preparation, and I'm extremely grateful that I did.
My section wise improvement:
Verbal:
I believe an important aspect for scoring well in Verbal is building the skill of comprehension. It took me some time, but eventually, reading passages with the genuine aim of comprehension rather than superficially became second nature to me. Visualizing the provided information and forming logical connections while reading eventually became a non-negotiable process, significantly altering the way I grasped CR and RC passages. The process of ‘Pre-thinking’ in CR helped me improve my timing in CR questions and also reject incorrect answer choices on solid grounds.
Quant:
Considering my background in engineering, I almost completely ignored preparing for Quant section in my previous attempts. Everytime, scoring a Q42. For my latest attempt, I went through every Quant module given in the course. While solving questions, I noticed that, like many others, I was making errors in questions I knew how to solve! I referred to these errors as 'silly' mistakes. After this, I realized the importance of ‘process skills’ in quant as well. I changed the way I solved quant questions, laying stress on consciously making sure all cases are covered, explicitly writing constraints while reading the question stem, etc.
Specific areas of the course that benefited me:
1. The course content is comprehensive and very well structured. I personally believe that if you do this course right, follow the exact learning process diligently, you will see a remarkable transformation in your performance. The structured approach to learning was instrumental in facilitating my learning journey.
2. E-gmat emphasizes a lot on skill-building over mere content absorption. Towards the end of the course aside from one or two topics, I didn't find it necessary to revisit the course material, as such.
3. Scholaranium : I can't stress enough the significance of this platform in evaluating and analyzing my progress. It provided all the data necessary for understanding my strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
4. Mentorship : Shout out to Akash for mentoring me in the final days of my prep. Every step was personally structured towards filling my process gaps and test readiness! It was not just about giving mocks, it was about giving tests / quizzes the right way!
Some tips:
1. Maintain an error log! I maintained a very detailed error log with detailed notes on where I faltered and corrective actions. This error log became my only source for revision in the later stages of prep. I used ‘notion’ for this.
2. As an e-gmat student, I would say, trust the process, it works! Look, the course is lengthy, time consuming and feels daunting at first. Halfway through the learning phase, I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content that was left to consume and the time I had taken to complete the first half of it. I already felt exhausted. But, I continued with the course, taking breaks at appropriate intervals. I realized it was best for me to take my time and do things the right way.
3. Do not attempt GMAT unprepared. This might sound trivial to most, but some of us have a different approach to giving exams! :P There are no shortcuts to GMAT and I feel you need to be prepared for every scenario : order of questions, super hard RC passage right in the middle of the test etc. Giving mocks is a great way to analyze such gaps and be prepared for it. Keep calm, exercise. A lot has to go right to achieve a score that accurately reflects your true potential.

When starting to prep for the Gmat Focus Edition, I became a bit overwhelmed. Searching for tools to help me understand the topics and how they affected the final score, I found E-Gmat. It has been my ally since, with 3 months of practice I have reached a 695 score.

Tougher questions in quant might be helpful
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.
I recently completed the e-GMAT prep course and found it to be an exceptional resource for anyone looking to excel on the GMAT. The course material is up-to-date and focuses intensively on the core aspects of the exam, particularly the verbal section. Thanks to e-GMAT, I was able to strengthen my fundamentals in verbal reasoning, which significantly improved my scores. The structured approach and comprehensive content make it one of the best GMAT preparation tools available. I highly recommend it to anyone aiming to enhance their performance and achieve a high score,

Hi everyone,
I recently took the GMAT FE Exam and scored a 695! I wanted to share my prep journey with eGMAT as a working professional.
The Journey:
I purchased eGMAT's 4-month access in January as I planned to take my exam in April. I took a fresh mock to benchmark myself and scored a 585 before starting my prep. While I intended to start in January, due to workload and personal issues, I couldn't get much done in January and February.
In March, I made a study plan using eGMAT's automated Planner with scores from my mocks as inputs to chart a complete pathway for my prep. This is where the course really helped me, especially in my weakest (now strongest) areas like CR, Quant - Algebra, and DI - MSR. Thanks to its streamlined structure, I was able to complete my prep by the end of March. Cementing Quizzes, Concept videos, and Expert support were essential for my preparation. After completing my preparation of each section and topic, I took my first official mock and scored 675 – a 90-point improvement from just the prep itself. In the last two weeks, I focused mainly on solving a ton of questions from OG and eGMAT's scholarium. I took three additional mocks with scores ranging from 645 to 685.
As I was in my final few days before the Exam, I was still scoring very randomly in CR from 30th to 80th, and I didn't seem to break through this roadblock. This is where revisiting concept videos helped to reimagine and correct my approach for CR, which ultimately helped me to get a 100th in CR on the official Exam! For Quant, I was pretty decent from the start, so it helped me to cut short my prep time to four weeks, but I always got a couple of questions incorrect on mocks and practice tests. So I took some more cementing quizzes in relaxed mode to understand that my main flaw was around missing a couple of details/traps. I came up with a QC approach for each question to double-check every answer on Quant, ultimately helping me to score a Q90! For DI, I believe eGMAT Scholarium is an excellent reflection of the real GMAT questions, and I just relied on them for my overall prep.
Tips for Test Takers:
1. Practice makes perfect: Especially in Quant. There are only certain kinds of questions GMAT throws at you, so prepare them well.
2. Quality Checks are important to avoid traps: Quant and DI are full of traps, so it's important that you read the question correctly and just have a quick 10-15 second check for the answer.
3. Bookmarking: Helpful in Quant/Verbal. Please avoid in DI. Only bookmark a maximum of three questions per section.
4. Navigating test anxiety: The real exam might seem harder to some folks (including me), but it's important to understand that if it seems hard to you, then you're probably scoring well! Don't overthink it! Treat it like any other mock and manage to take breaks well to re-energize during the exam.
Reflecting on my journey, I'm grateful for the support of eGMAT's resources and mentors for helping me get one step closer to a top B-School. I hope my experience and tips serve as a helpful guide for others preparing for the GMAT FE Exam. Best of luck to all!
Strengths:
The Analytics it provides, i would say is the best. Once you know how to use that data in your preparation it will help you a lot.
Would make the product better:
Everything is good, an addition of the feature to review 3 question in quizzes ma be good idea as it may help to strategize with tough questions.
The Course is really good and budget friendly.
Quant: The kind of questions on scholaranium is good, you have the option to create quizzes based on your requirement like may be mixed quiz or for a specific topic. The analytics help you to identify how you fare among all the others. It help you to identify your weak areas as well.
2. Verbal : Again, I feel the scholaranium is the best part, the questions and amount of practice you can there to solidify your understanding is really great. Helped me improve from v79to v83.
3. Data Insight : The questions are similar to actual test, but again the main thing is the amount of question and quality of question you have to practice is great. It helped to control my anxiety with lengthy DI questions. Their MSR error log is great. Really helps you o identify which bucket your mistake fall into
I think along with all above their LMP program is really great initiative, helps you to startegize your study paln, keep you focused and motivated. This is a much needed thing as may be working prof you may not have time to do all the planning on your own. They can help with this. In fact the startegic plan and the scholaranium are the best part of egmat and really helped me reach 705.
Strengths:
E-GMAT is process oriented. They teach you processes of how to solve any problem, not tricks. They provide a comprehensive and adaptive study plan that tells you exactly what you need to study, how long, and keeps track of your progress. They have a gigantic library of practice problems and they keep track of what you got wrong. Also, they have wonderful mock tests and custom quizzes available so that you can see areas of weaknesses and improve drastically on them!
Would make the product better:
The only tricky part is that there is a lot to this platform. Take time and go through the orientation videos that they provide, otherwise you will be lost. There are so many great features, but it is overwhelming if you don’t take time to get acquainted. One feature that I wish I learned about quicker was utilizing the Q&A in every question. There is a form where you can submit questions about particular problems and see other people’s questions. A few times, I went here and found that someone else had the same exact question that was already answered by an expert. If it isn’t already answered, E-GMAT does a wonderful job of answering it as soon as possible.
E-GMAT is the most comprehensive and efficient tool for you to improve on the GMAT! I am a college student running two businesses, and I improved my score over 100 points in a month using E-GMAT. They don't just give you problems and answers. They teach you how to efficiently and effectively solve problems. I struggled most on time and how to break down problems when I started. One of the best things about E-GMAT is they teach you how to “Pre-think,” which is a strategy used in Verbal and Data Insights to save a ton of time and get the right answer before evaluating the answers. Also, E-GMAT has lesson plans that teach you the information needed to solve the problems and the techniques to apply the information to solve complex problems. They have a huge library of practice problems that you can work through. Each question has a comprehensive solution explanation along with strategies on how to solve it. Just as your study journey changes, the platform is also very adaptive. E-GMAT keeps a record of all of your practice and improvement. This allowed me to see which types of questions I struggled with the most. Lastly, I was able to assemble practice quizzes made up of problems that I got wrong or took a lot of time on. Using these, I was able to become faster at complex quantitative problems and data sufficiency problems. I highly recommend E-GMAT to the people who do not want tricks, but who actually want a tool bag to solve complex problems and score in the top percentiles.
I recently graduated with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Before starting my professional career, I decided to tackle the GMAT to clear it off my checklist. Despite my strong background in these fields, I found the Quantitative section to be my Achilles' heel. One of the major challenges I faced during my GMAT preparation was finding dedicated study time and sticking to a consistent plan. With numerous distractions and other activities vying for my attention, maintaining a focused study routine was often difficult.
For my GMAT preparation, I opted for e-GMAT as my primary study resource. The platform proved to be comprehensive, offering everything I needed to prepare for the exam in one place. It allowed me to identify and work on my weaknesses effectively, especially in the Quant section. The personalized study approach was invaluable, enabling me to skip sections where I was already performing well and focus more on challenging topics. Additionally, the detailed solution videos provided by e-GMAT were instrumental in enhancing my problem-solving skills and understanding complex concepts.
In the final weeks leading up to the exam, I intensified my study efforts with an intense focus on revisiting challenging topics and taking practice tests to simulate the actual exam environment. While e-GMAT's resources were comprehensive, I felt that more specific guidance or test-taking tips for the final push would have been beneficial. For future GMAT aspirants, I highly recommend starting the preparation early, even if you're planning to apply 3-4 years from now. This approach will allow you to study at a comfortable pace without feeling pressured. Consistency is key, so maintain regular study habits, focus on understanding the concepts rather than memorizing them, and practice regularly to identify and improve your weaknesses.
