Strengths:

- Personalized mentor support
- Performance analytics
- PACE engine and XPERT Analysis of quizzes

Would make the product better:

Communication channels:
- Typically, mentor-mentee interaction happens over mail (with an occasional VC). This leads to communication gaps at times
- I conveyed this to the team, and they were accommodating enough to adopt other modes on a case-to-case basis

Hi, members of the community,
I'll keep this review as relevant and concise as possible.
Context:
As a final-year engineering student, my GMAT journey was marked by a firmer grasp of the Quant and DI sections. The official mock I attempted confirmed this, revealing a weaker Verbal section score that needed attention.
I started seeking help; a few of the options I considered were [1] offline coaching, [2] self-study from official guides & [3] online courses.

Decision factors:
Since I had to balance my preparation along with my internship and studies, I decided to go for a self paced online course.
There are a few prominent online courses; I chose e-GMAT as it was recommended to me by a senior who scored a 740 on his GMAT (he still says that if I am unable to achieve after completing the course, the issue is with me and not the course)
Their free C.R. session solidified my decision to purchase the e-GMAT course. In this 2-hour section, we tackled a few assumption questions. I immediately noticed a change in my approach, leading to improved accuracy. This experience convinced me of the course's potential to enhance my Verbal section performance.
Additionally, they were decently priced and provided a flexible extension policy.

Verbal:
e-GMAT follows a pre-thinking approach for all CR questions and employs reading strategies for RC questions, which break something as elementary as reading a paragraph into steps, ensuring maximum absorption and processing, which helps achieve better accuracy while answering.

Quant:
They have this unique P.A.C.E. learning model, which adds and removes learning modules based on your existing foothold in the topic; this came in handy to me, given that I wanted to spend less time in this section learning concepts I was already familiar with.
It helped save my time here and improved the overall learning experience.

DI:
In the early days of GFE, the DI section of a course is what makes or breaks it. e-GMAT has done well in covering every aspect in detail, using innovative animations and infographics. It made learning exciting and smooth, as DI questions might sometimes get daunting.

Overall:
e-GMAT follows a unique question-first learning & application approach in each section, wherein you attempt a question, and then they teach you the right approach to solve it stepwise.

Lastly, through this review, I want to thank the entire team at e-GMAT and especially my mentor, Abha, who believed in me in times I didn't.
