e-GMAT GMAT Course Reviews

Strengths:

Product: The product is top-notch. The look and feel of the website is very user-friendly.

Course Content: The course content is not only comprehensive but also very well-structured. The strategies suggested for solving questions, particularly the meaning-based approach for SC and the pre-thinking method for Critical Reasoning CR, were absolute game changers for me. It was almost like a science where if you can understand the concept, the questions will look a lot less difficult. The QA course was well structured too. The PACE AI feature and diagnostic tests saved quite a lot of time for me.

Would make the product better:

I sometimes felt the need for a little more personal touch through calls. However, the team was quite helpful on emails.

e-GMAT is the place to go if you want a very structured approach to your GMAT journey!
The course content is very well collated and covers all types of problems that you can encounter in your exam. The stratgies such as the meaning-based approach and the RC strategies are also quite helpful.
Also, my mentor Dhruv Joshi helped me create a personalized plan that gave me proper steps to follow, and this made my preparation journey easier. His guidance has significantly contributed to my score!
The quality of the content, user-friendly interface, and personalized mentor support make e-GMAT a standout choice.

Unlike other products, E-GMAT helped me a lot in the verbal section in a very structured approach!

Nothing it is perfect

E-GMAT. Hands down the best platform I have encountered. After trying 2 other famous providers, solving all the OG questions multiple times and attempting the GMAT examination three times, I was introduced to the E-GMAT platform by a friend who managed to secure a 760 by studying with E-GMAT. To be honest I was frustrated and lost before encountering E-GMAT. Nothing would work for me especially in the verbal section. Prior to E-GMAT, I did not even know that there was a structured methodology to deal with the verbal section. Having dyslexia, I could not navigate in an adequate manner through the RC passages. CR was a nightmare as I didn’t know how to approach the questions and extrapolate a solution. SC was convoluted. Long story short the verbal section was chaotic. First thing I did when I purchased my E-GMAT subscription of GMAT Online on Dec 2nd, 2023, was to let go of everything I had done and go through all the sections in detail. For me the real game changer was the learnings deduced from the Verbal teachings. SC was a hard section for me as I thought that by relying solely on grammar I would prevail in the test. I couldn’t be more wrong. E-GMAT taught me that meaning is the most important factor that separates the great from the best in SC. The strategies that I learned and employed helped me deduce the meaning in SC texts and master the concept. In CR the most important methodology that I learned was the pre-thinking approach. This approach is a groundbreaking approach that no other platform teaches. This approach teaches how to arrive at solid answers before even looking at the solutions. With this methodology I was able to navigate through the CR questions in a structured manner and greatly improve my ability in solving CR questions. Last but not least I had to deal with my arch enemy, the RC. It was a living nightmare in the beginning. The vast texts seemed undefeatable. However, in the master and reading comprehension sections I learned how to deduce meaning, increase my comprehension and cruises through texts in the most efficient manner possible. I cannot stress it enough, the E-GMAT was a game changer in the verbal section!!!!! When it comes to quant, the PACE software enabled me to be time efficient with the topics I knew well and save precious time, time that I would dedicate later on mastering medium and hard questions. Before E-GMAT I thought that I could tackle hard questions in an efficient manner. That was not true. The quant problems faced in E-GMAT are way harder than OG. Although I faltered a lot in the beginning, I trusted the process and pushed forward. One thing that other platforms lacked was a detailed explanation of the answer. At E-GMAT the methodology of arriving at the solutions is crystal clear for each question! As I said the content was challenging but there are only things to gain by training yourself with hard questions. It is always better to be prepared for the worse. Moving on E-GMAT highlighted the significance of maintaining an error log. Knowledge comes from revising errors and avoiding repeating mistakes. Moreover, Scholaranium is the perfect place to hones one’s skills. Scholaranium is a platform embedded in the E-GMAT that analyzes every single parameter of one’s attempts. It provides useful insights on matters that deem improvement. In addition to the above E-GMAT fosters a program called the Last Mile Push for ambitious students that are willing to do everything in their power to achieve success. In this program one is assigned a mentor that provides guidance on how to improve. I was very fortunate to be assigned with Rashmi. What can I say. Anything stated would be an understatement. Rashmi helped me on a daily basis to unlock my potential and rise above any previous performance. This mentorship elevated my skills and confidence at a level previously unimaginable. Having honed my skills through cementing and custom quizzes and having utilized the data analytics that Scholaranium offers I was ready to head on to the mock phase. At this point it is worth mentioning that in the first mock that I took before I started with my preparation, I scored a 620. After a month of preparation, I was able to score consistently above 700. Every time that I took a mock and gazed at the results, I felt confident but also felt motivated to improve even further. With the invaluable guidance of Rashmi and my persistence, I was able to score a 700 on test day. That’s an 80 point improvement in a months’ time guys! It is fair to say that without E-GMAT and Rashmi I wouldn’t be able to perform at such a high level. If you ask me if E-GMAT is worth it, I will respond definitely. Every aspect of the platform is about unlocking one’s potential with the aim of dominating the real deal. I feel that I could not materialize my dreams of getting admitted into a good business school with out E-GMAT. By and large if you are wondering whether to proceed with E-GMAT, I am urging you to do so as you won’t be disappointed. My closing remarks are: follow exactly everything that you are instructed to do in the manner you are instructed even if it may seem redundant and pay close attention on how to parse information on the error log as it will help you improve on a scaling manner. The insights in verbal and quant, the methodology employed, and the guidance of Rashmi are what helped me achieve 700. Seeing consistent improvement is an unparalleled feeling and I did not see any consistency in my improvement prior to enrolling at the E-GMAT platform.

Strengths:

The Last Mile Push (LMP) program offers a comprehensive strategy for GMAT preparation. It presents a well-organized approach that targets and improves our weaknesses in both verbal and quant sections. This program not only builds a strong foundation but also alleviates exam fatigue and test fear.

Would make the product better:

LMP utilizes email interactions as its primary mode of communication. However, occasional in-person interactions can enhance the overall effectiveness of the course.

I started my GMAT preparations in November 2022. I enrolled in a prep platform where I practiced for about 2.5 months. Despite my efforts, my first attempt in January 2023 yielded a score of only 610 (V25, Q49). Time posed a challenge in the verbal section. Believing that practicing more questions in a timed setting would enhance my verbal score, I began taking as many mock tests as I could (Later, I realized that this was the biggest mistake I did during my GMAT prep). I took the exam again in March 2023. Unfortunately, it resulted in a disappointing score of 620 (V28, Q48). It became evident that my struggle in the verbal section was rooted in a lack of conceptual understanding.

In pursuit of a 700 score, I enrolled with e-GMAT in April 2023. From the outset, the impact was noticeable, particularly with the effective meaning-based approach in Sentence Correction (SC) and Reading Comprehension (RC). By the end of June 2023, I completed the verbal course, scoring near 690 in Sigma mocks. With renewed confidence, I scheduled my exam for July 18, 2023, aiming for MBA intakes in September 2023 or January 2024. Despite feeling well-prepared, exam anxiety affected my performance in the verbal section, resulting in a score of 670 (V31, Q49), falling short of my 700 target.

Realizing the need for guidance, I reached out to the e-GMAT team post-exam. They enrolled me in the LMP program for free, assigning Dhruv as my mentor. However, due to work commitments, I couldn't immediately commence the LMP program after my exam. Professional commitments consistently caused interruptions and diverted my focus during my GMAT preparation. Eventually, I was able to commence the LMP program in October 2023. LMP provided a high level of structure and instilled discipline in my preparation—a quality I had been lacking until then. I systematically completed sections one by one and surpassed a set threshold scores in each to progress. Although I faced challenges in Critical Reasoning (CR), continuous support from Dhruv helped me surmount this hurdle. While verbal remained the focal point, I revisited quant modules before the exam, and that proved to be sufficient.

I scheduled my exam for 15th January, 2024, approximately one year after my initial attempt. In the final days leading up to the exam, intense work pressure posed a significant challenge to my preparations. However, Dhruv and the e-GMAT team provided commendable support during this critical period. Upon taking the exam, seeing the score (700 - V34 & Q50) on the screen left me feeling satisfied and content. The LMP program proved effective for those aiming to surpass the 700 mark as it provides a structured approach and in-depth understanding of concepts. I wholeheartedly recommend LMP to those struggling to break the 700 barrier. My gratitude goes to e-GMAT, especially Dhruv, for being a guiding force in my GMAT journey. Best wishes to e-GMAT and all those preparing for the exam.

Strengths:

Focus on building core concepts and methodology which helped in improving accuracy of the answers.
The cementing sections helped to further enhance and solidify the concepts.
The mentoring support is wonderful, which was provided to me voluntarily looking at my weak cementing scores. The additional recorded sections to watch are curated individually looking at the weakness of the student

Would make the product better:

Sometimes in the mentoring feedback, they ask to go through the complete concept files which are time taking and sometimes un-necessary, as the level of questions in the cementing and concepts is very different and will not address the weakness in difficult questions.

The number of mock test available are very few.

Hi All,
I had subscribed to the E-Gmat course after taking trying out their trial which I felt was very interactive and focused on building the focus on improving core-skills rather than just practice a number of questions. I’m happy with the support provided by E-Gmat which helped me improve my score by about 100 points in 2 months.
I believe if I had time for preparation for 1 more month, with the assistance of E-Gmat, I could have scored much higher, as I couldn’t try to optimise my test taking strategy and cementing for Quant and DI section.
I had started the E-GMAT subscription after observing no much improvement in score trying one month of self-preparation with the OG material. I had realised that Verbal is the weakest section that I had to work on, and decided to spend maximum time for it.
The E-Gmat for approach Verbal section was very different from what I used to follow and had largely improved my accuracy. What I loved about the course is, they not only explain the process, but make us try to inculcate them as our behaviour through their practice and application files. If we can apply them, be assured that your accuracy will improve. Inculcating this new behaviour had initially affected my speed, but eventually practice was able to pick up.
Their cementing sessions are quite challenging, but also help us asses with our speed. What I liked about E-GMAT was, I had tried 2 cementing steps but failed. I didn’t know what to do, and had requested for strategic support to E-GMAT. They had assigned me with a mentor, who had guided me and provided me with additional plans and material to ensure that I was able to apply the suggested method to solve in given time. Frankly, it took a lot more time than what I expected, which made me restless, but now that I see, I feel they were worth investing time in.
The Quant section consisted of concept and process building sections. The PACE features gives us diagnostic test to check our and suggests to skip the concept files which we are strong. This helps us save lot of time, and I suggest that they have to extend this service to the DI as well.
Though I couldn’t complete the cementing phase in EGMAT, the constant traps laid out in the process file helped me be very alert in the GMAT Exam.
The skills which I developed in Verbal and Quant(like approximation) helped me develop the required skill for DI. However, I suggest those taking the package to go through the DI module as well.
In general, I feel the E-GMAT course is for those who believes that they need to build the core skills and are ready to invest 3 months of time.
It’ll be difficult for someone whos targeting high score within one month as skill developing takes time. If someone has good conceptual understanding and looking for only cementing and test taking strategy, I believe, they can complete within one month.
And don’t shy away to ask for mentorship, they have good mentors who can monitor your progress and help you improve your score. One more suggestion I would like to give the EGMAT team is that to increase the number of Sigma Mock tests for the GMAT Focus edition. As of now, only 3 are available, of which most of them consume the first one before the subscription of the program

PACE style optimization for Verbal section

A note before I start my review-
I followed the e-gmat plan exactly how the team guided me. I struggle with certain test taking anxiety but I have a decent score now to apply to the B-schools of my choice. Although, I believe that I am capable of 20 more points in overall score but because of shortage of time, I am applying with my current score.

E-gmat’s master comprehension course helped in building a strong foundation for verbal. All the modules are detailed. Initially, I felt that cementing quizzes were unnecessarily slowing down my progress, but I instead focused on trusting the process, which helped me in the long run. The cementing quizzes did bring out all the fallacies I had and helped me to rectify them. In hindsight, I am happy that I endured the pain during that stage. I felt that I improved immensely in reading comprehension because of e-gmat. Usually, people think that RC is the most time-consuming, but if it is done as per how e-gmat teaches then I feel RC becomes a strength and helps with time during the test. P.S. the verbal techniques and strategies also helped me immensely while writing essays for my applications.
In Quant, I was strong when I started. Though, the course helped me mainly in Word Problems section. PACE helped me to move along the Quant course and cementing quickly.
Having individually prepared for all sub-modules and test readiness quizzes, I attempted my mocks. I realized that I falter when I apply all the learnings together. Rida and the strategy expert team helped me by designing focused practice plan and that improved my score. I also learned a lot from the already answered queries for some questions by the subject matter experts. These queries helped me a lot during my last stage of the preparation to iron out any doubts I had.
I benefited from the coffee sessions by Rajat and Payal. They showed the growth stats which helped me mentally, bolstering my understanding that my progress and potential are in place. All that was needed was to calmly sail through the exam. I am happy that I signed up with e-gmat for my gmat preparation.

Include an option to watch lessons at 1.25X or 1.5X so that students can speed-up the preparation process

Hi Everyone!
In my 2nd attempt of GMAT, I scored 690, a 90 point improvement from my 1st attempt which was based mainly on self-preparation. After my 1st attempt, I realised the need for a more structured way of preparation which is when I came across the e-GMAT free trial. I really loved the way their course was designed and immediately signed up for the Online focused prep. A detailed review of each section -

Quant - Since I was familiar with the basic concepts of quant, the PACE time saving method was really effective in helping me identify the basic modules that I could skip. The concept + test based method of preparation actually instilled confidence after every topic. The questions from e-GMAT might seem more difficult than those from the official guide, however, one should solve these questions as it thoroughly clears your basic concepts and improves your speed drastically. However, "Word Problems" was the only section where I felt that the solutions were extremely lengthy and this approach could not be practically used in the exam.

Verbal - The meaning based approach for SC and pre-thinking approach for CR were a game changer. I initially took some time to get comfortable with these methods, which late on fared me well. Plus, the cementing quiz after each section gave a fair picture of my time bound performance and the extra-efforts that I needed to put to ace the topics. Also, the last mile program with a dedicated mentor helped me understand my weaknesses at a granular level and build strategies around them.

Lastly, I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly impressive. The Sigma-X mocks were very much in line with the kind of/level of questions one might encounter in the exam. The mocks actually helped me hone my time management skills, and fine-tune my strategies around each question type.

All the best to everyone!

My experience with e-gmat was good for the most part.
I personally had great potential, though, untapped, and e-gmat helped me utilise my strengths efficiently and minimise my weaknesses.
My Quant was phenomenal even before, however, the concept files gave a lot of conceptual clarity.
My verbal performance was a zig-zag line, thus, indicating conceptual gaps. I was able to consistently get better and better. Various live sessions and lectures helped a great deal as I was able to progressively identify and correct my mistakes or fill in conceptual gaps.
However, some issues I faced included the selection of the question bank. I found many questions with conflicting and closely related answer choices missing the whole question setting method of GMAT which specifically rejects closely related answer choices.

Hello everyone!
I took the GMAT in July 2023 and scored a 760 (Q49, V44). This was my second attempt and had a 50-point improvement from my previous score of 710 (Q49, V38).

With a strong quantitative background as an engineer, I confidently handled strategies and time management for the quant section. However, the verbal section posed a challenge. Despite grasping grammar concepts for SC and the structure of CR questions, I struggled with accuracy. I was keen on exploring strategies online to improve my accuracy. That's when I discovered the eGMAT workshops before my first attempt. The meaning-based approach (SC) and pre-thinking (CR) strategies stood out as highly beneficial.

Unfortunately, time constraints prevented me from fully implementing these strategies in my initial attempt. So while choosing a new prep material, eGMAT was a no-brainer. Having exhausted the OG guides in my first attempt, I sought a fresh set of questions to refine my strategy. The 2-month GMAT Intensive course not only met but exceeded my expectations, playing a crucial role in my achievement of a 760. The personalized study plan and test analysis with Mansi from eGMAT proved invaluable in structuring my study schedule for the next two months.

I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly noteworthy. The sectional tests, with adjustable topic and difficulty filters, were invaluable for refining my approach to different GMAT question types. Utilizing this option significantly contributed to enhancing both my accuracy and speed, resulting in a notable 6-point improvement in my verbal score
The mock tests accurately simulated the GMAT exam environment, enabling me to hone my time management skills and build confidence. The detailed performance analytics helped me identify areas for further refinement, allowing me to fine-tune my preparation strategy as needed.

Overall, eGMAT’s strategies and question banks proved invaluable in boosting my GMAT score significantly. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a comprehensive and effective GMAT preparation experience.


Here are some tips GMAT prep:

DO NOT BLINDLY SOLVE THE QUESTIONS. A crucial lesson from my experience is that the quantity of questions solved does not necessarily correlate with exam performance. Whether you solve a few or many questions, conduct a thorough analysis of the solutions, regardless of whether you answered correctly. Extracting shortcuts and key insights from these analyses will significantly enhance accuracy and substantially reduce the time needed.

ENSURE THAT YOU PRACTICE YOUR APPROACH/STATEGY TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF QUESTIONS. In the majority of GMAT questions, eliminating 3 out of 5 options is often straightforward. However, when faced with the final two options, selecting the correct one demands the right strategy. Each question type requires a distinct approach, so delve into each category and familiarize yourself with the application of your techniques.


All the best to everyone attempting the exam.

Overall, the use of scholaranium was the most useful for me. That being said, OG questions should be focussed on way more than questions from any test centre. That is something I wish I had realised earlier.
While Egamt drills the basics of all concepts, I felt that relying only on the questions from there could end up hurting you in the long run.
The lectures were all very helpful especially the format of the Quant sections.
I scored 605 on gmat focus on my first attempt, and I will be attempting it again towards the end of this month. Hopefully, I will cross the 645 barrier.
Thank you Egmat for all the help.
