Strengths:

Content

Would make the product better:

Interface, pace of the lessons and teaching methodology

The course was not very well designed or comprehensive. The UI also did not feel intuitive and some concepts did not feel relevant either. A lot of time was also dedicated to basic stuff repeatedly like how to create error logs and study which felt counterproductive and annoying after a point. For quant as well, the practice and the depth of questions were slightly off the mark and the content was repetitive and tiring. On the plus side, the course did cover all the major topics but needs improvement, customizations and a better UI to ensure that the content is engaging. The AI tool which gives suggestions needs some tweaking too.

Strengths:

1. Structured videos
2. Doubt support
3. Concept quizzes
4. xpert Dashboard that shows key learning gaps

Would make the product better:

1. Weekly video doubt clearing sessions for subscribers.
2. The first course under verbal can be further simplified for non-English speakers.

It's a great course to strengthen concepts. However, if you are starting from scratch, you'd need to supplement e-gmat with Manhattan verbal books.

For SC, I had to go through the Foundation of Verbal by Manhattan. I was able to understand e-gmat course after going through FOV.

For RC, e-gmat is probably the best course. Though, I did get hard and M-H questions wrong, the way e-gmat teaches RC is straightforward and effective.

For CR, I found e-gmat course to be a bit confusing. pre-thinking does not always work. Also, I found some explanations to be insufficient.

For quant, the questions can get repetitive. For quant, I feel, once you've gone through e-gmat videos, practice using gmatclub's forum quiz.

Strengths:

THe strength of the product is the strong Verbal Base and good quality material

Would make the product better:

The support team doesnt provide enough feedback to improve and the course doesnt fit in for beginners

Overall feedback is the Course is not worth of the investment and the support only provide the robotic type of feedback as per book. I was literally studying for 6-7 hours a day for around 4-5 months in a very disciplined manner and I really thought I was improving but when I gave a mock I was at a 610-620 . I was given feedback to revise multiple times which i did but Alas the improvement was not not that great, the only one tutor Harsha whom i found worth giving feedback rest all the not worth the penny on the course we have spent.
The course is not helpful for the begginers but it can be helpful for the 2nd time test takers and for those who has completed the course.

Nothing, everything was great

Because of high workload (combining full-time job in consulting and finishing my bachelor degree) I was able to start my preparation for GMAT only at the beginning of 2023. At the same time I had to pass the exam in mid February, so that I could have some time for preparing all the other things for the application. This all led to just one month of prep. I wanted to start on January 2, however I needed some time to recover, so I started only on the January 9. I took a vacation at my job for a month, however I still had 3 exams to pass at the university at that period. I completed my first free mock at e-GMAT on the January 9, then purchased the e-GMAT subscription and booked an appointment for GMAT the next day. My exam was set on the February 8, and that’s how my preparation started.
The reason for choosing e-GMAT for me was simple – my mentor with a score of 740 told me that e-GMAT was the best preparation service he used in his prep.
My mock result was 630 (Q47 V29). I knew, that Verbal section was my major weakness (as for many non-native speakers), so I focused on it for the whole prep period. And here comes the first thing I loved about e-GMAT: they provide extremely detailed analysis of your mocks and quizzes. From this analytics I knew, that my skills at RC are ok, but I have a lot to improve in SC & CR.
At this point I started e-GMAT Master Comprehension course. In fact, it solved my major problem: I was reading the questions multiple times but didn’t understand anything. After completing this course I felt a lot more confident as I started to fully understand the questions. Personally, I think this course is a MUST for non-native speakers if they want to achieve high Verbal score.
Then I started SC course. It was very difficult for my to memorize all the concepts in such a short time, however I did it pretty successfully. I should notice here that the approach to solving SC questions was extremely helpful. It gave me a straightforward structured way to solve both mid & hard difficulty questions. After completing the “theory” I moved to “practice”: I completed few quizzes in SC and saw a significant improvement, thanks again to detailed analytics provided.
At this point I had less then 2 weeks to my exam date and started CR course. While reviewing the concepts I understood that this type of questions is easy for me, so I did a review of my first mock again and noticed that my bad score was due to timing failure: I randomly clicked the last questions because of lack of time, which dropped my CR result (at the beginning of the mock I performed very well). That meant that if I fix my timing problems in SC (which I already did) I can already have a better result. This made me more confident, so I “rushed through” the CR “theory part”. I still completed all the course, but I was skipping some parts of videos, when I understood that I already knew these concepts well enough. Then I also did some quizzes and was left with 2 days before the exam. I’ve spent those on refreshing some formulas and approaches for Quant in express manner and took my exam.
So my improvements are:
630 -> 720
Q47 -> Q49
V29 -> V39
In the end I’d like to summarize all the thing I liked at e-GMAT (and that helped me to achieve such improvement in less then a month). The first and the most important thing for such express prep is the fact that e-GMAT is a great one-stop-shop for GMAT: it has theory courses, quizzes, mocks and personalized analytics all in one place. Secondly, courses structure and content are great: these are really MECE, so they provide you with all the concepts you need and do it in a way that you can memorize them fast. Thirdly, the overall quality of materials, UI/UX, tests was great. For me, it plays a great role in overall experience: if you are comfortable with using the tool, you’ll be able to extract maximum value of it, which is totally about e-GMAT. So, I really liked the product, I’m very thankful to the e-GMAT team and my mentor who recommended it to me.

Strengths:

The modules are designed in order to really focus on meeting the student across all learning stages - concept understanding, retrieval, cementing, to actual applications. The modules are sequenced in a manner that gradually helps one apply concepts & "cement" the knowledge for its application in a very new/foreign environment (actual exam) which reduces the chances of guesswork.

Would make the product better:

I personally felt that the question banks especially for the verbal section could be improved/made tougher to give a real sense of the exam environment. The verbal section for the sigma mocks was easier than the actual exam.

Additionally, a lot more supporting materials for certain hard topics (750+ level) could be provided that are more targeted/less generic.

Would definitely recommend taking this course for someone who is planning to get massive improvements in their score via a dedicated/clear action plan, especially for the verbal section. The math section also prepares one pretty well for the actual exam (which is much easier).

Kudos to their mentors & the LMP program in general - this program really enables one to focus on the right thing at the right time, without wasting much time in planning what/how one needs to study. The structured study plans/programs are definitely a highlight for a working individual who doesn't have much time to think/plan their prep. Mentors also enable you to move in the right direction & have a clear trajectory of what is needed/not needed in the whole preparation journey. Special shoutout to Akash who was always up for helping/guiding/supporting & mentoring me through the different learning phases!

In addition, the modules are structured in a manner that meets you in your own learning journey, without making it too generic/specific.

Lastly, the analytics/algorithm adds to your reflection journey by helping you pinpoint your weaker areas or areas of concern so you can create a more targeted revision plan & focus more on the weaker/strength areas.

e-GMAT has created an outstanding platform that caters to millions of students and at the same time felt a personalised one for me. It understood where all I can falter, what is the right way to think and what I might be doing but is not to be done. Most importantly, it focused on the basics and the core process, NO SHORTCUTS. This helped me to build the confidence that I will be able to tackle questions of all types and levels during the main exam.

The course is very much structured and saves number of hours for any student. Meaning based approach in SC and Pre-thinking in CR do wonders to solve any question. Scholaranium is a very good tool for doing quizzes and analysing one’s skills deeply. Also, the team provides constant support and guidance throughout the journey. I have mailed them for everything that came up to my mind: asking about what study strategies to follow, what are my weak areas, what improvement plan to follow etc. Special mention to Rida Shafeek, my mentor and Abha Mohan who helped me with the improvement plan. e-GMAT team has always been there to help and support, especially when my course plan was getting over on 9th Jan 2023 and they extended it till 18th Jan as per my scheduled exam.

In the initial mock I got a 610. I started my GMAT journey in October 2022 and with the recommendation of my brother I took the e-GMAT course from the start itself. I feel very happy to share that I scored a total of 720 ( V36 Q50 ) in my GMAT retake in Feb 2023. In my earlier attempt in Jan 2023, my score was 650 (V29 Q49). I felt that it did not do justice to all the preparation I had been doing for the exam and planned to give a retake as soon as possible.

Overall, I really enjoyed the journey as much as I enjoyed the result. I would highly recommend the e-GMAT course to all GMAT aspirants.

Strengths:

Personal attention to each candidate in the LMP program is great. On the platform itself, the cataloguing of the questions and the kind of original questions are good for practice.

Would make the product better:

The platform needs to have a better correlation in certain topics with the actual GMAT. Also with the mock tests, the UI should reflect the actual test UI as it makes it easier for the actual attempt.

It's a great platform to start a serious GMAT preparation. The way the concepts are taught and tested in a progressive manner creates a good learning curve to be able to solve real world GMAT questions at different levels. Especially for those who prefer a more logical approach to problem solving, the platform provides the entire decision making framework for each question to be able to learn more off of the questions on the platform. I primarily used it enhance my verbal skills, and the platform was helpful in building the foundation for the various skills tested in the test. In addition, the customer success taken up in the LMP program is great in the last phase of the journey as it helps in getting the right guidance for the target score.

Strengths:

The quality of questions are at par with the actual gmat and the mentorship support is excellent

Would make the product better:

Some of the questions from the word problem section of quants are out of scope , in terms of the question sizes and also being highly calculation intensive.

I had scored 700 twice in the gmat, when I was enrolled with another test provider. My verbal section, especially CR, had taken a hit in both the attempts. My target score was 740. After my 2nd gmat attempt (at the end of September 2022), I decided to enroll in egmat’s online course. I had watched a couple of their free webinar sessions in youtube and was quite impressed with their methodology and their process. Having scored back to back 700 in the actual test, I was starting at a higher ability. Hence I was invited to join the LMP program, when I enrolled for the course. Rashmi was my mentor in the LMP program.
CR has been my weakest area in verbal ever since I started my gmat prep. Before joining egmat, I resorted to “brute practice” in which I solved a few hundred CR questions from gmatclub, hoping that I become good at CR through relentless practice. I never had a structure or methodology while solving CR questions at that time. As a result, I did not develop the necessary skillset required to solve CR questions in the actual test, under the time constraint. I ended up performing poorly in this subsection in both my previous gmat attempts(50 percentile on both occasions).
At the start of the LMP program, rashmi laid out the verbal plan which was very effective and which targeted my weak areas, notably CR. She emphasized the importance of prethinking while solving CR questions and to trust the process, even though it might take me a while to get accustomed to it. I started out by going through the concept videos, followed by the concept files and the application files. True to it’s name, the cementing quizzes helped me to cement the process in my mind. My accuracy in CR shot up gradually with time, as I began to subconsciously apply the prethinking framework.
Even though I was pretty good at sentence correction(SC), I decided to go through the SC module as well. The SC module has been well structured and is very detailed. Going through this module once again helped me to reinforce the concepts and the meaning-based-approach methodology, which in turn pushed my SC accuracy even higher.
The quant module is at par with the best in the market. The PACE engine pinpoints the weak areas and selectively makes one go through certain subsections/concept videos which reduces the preparation time to a great extent .I was very satisfied with the concept videos and the concept files and the application files. Overall, Quant 2.0 played a vital role in pushing my quant score from a q49 to a q50.
The quality of questions in the scholaranium is top notch. They are at par with the actual gmat questions, especially in verbal. For quants, the scholaranium questions are slightly more difficult than the questions in the actual test.
The Sigma-X mock tests are very accurate and representative of the actual gmat, in terms of the quality of questions and the adaptive nature of the test. The best part of the Sigma-X mock is the detailed analysis that follows after each mock test. I found the analysis chart to be quite similar to the ESR report from the actual test.
Last but not the least, the mentorship support has been excellent. Frankly, the LMP program has far exceeded my expectations. Rashmi has guided me brilliantly throughout the course of our tenure. Her quick turnaround time in responses and her precision planning targeted at my weak areas helped me to boost my score in both quant and verbal. She kept track of my progress and performance through the available data in the platform and suggested improvement plans accordingly. She intervened from time to time to ensure that I was on track with the set plan and provided moral support whenever I felt down and out after a poor quiz/mock performance.
Finally, I was able to hit my target score of 740(q50,v40) .
In the end, when you trust reliable data and take cues from it, the result shows.
Overall my experience with egmat has been fantastic and I would highly recommend their course to any diligent student out there.

Strengths:

The approaches to all sections and topics are very effective in creating strong foundations. the three step process along with Xpert review and Sigma Mocks help you in understanding your performance and boosting it without any hassle.

Would make the product better:

The instructions on how to use the course can be clearer. a seprate onboarding should be there to ensure the students joining understand how to use the platform.

I scored 730 on my first attempt. It was E-GMAT who helped me in reaching my goals. I started my journey in September by buying my E-GMAT Course 360 for 4 months. Initially I could not dedicate much time to my preparations but in the later months I committed at least 10 hours a week. Being a medical intern in a government college, it was not easy to find time and analyze how to study. E-GMAT helped me a lot by preparing a personalized study plan for me. I started my journey with 620 on my sigma x mock. I set my targets and E-GMAT helped me create a dedicated timeline to create a timetable effectively dicing my time in required areas.
The quant section was beautifully divided and broken down into topics and sub topics. The initial diagnostic quizzes in each topic helped me save a lot of time by segregating topics I was weak at needed to study vs topics I was good at. These modules, followed by practice quizzes, helped me create strong concepts. The framework for various topics and approach to the questions has been effectively covered by E-GMAT course.
The verbal section had ample of application files and quizzes to help me understand the process to approach a question and help me arrive at correct solutions. Pre-Thinking, Meaning Based Analysis, Frameworks, among other tools, were strong weapons in my arsenal which helped me conquer my verbal fear.
The strategy of dividing the preparation in three stages to effectively create concepts, cement them and then achieve accuracy was the best part about the course. This strategy helped me create a strong foundation which enabled me to score 730 on the first attempt.
I improved especially in the verbal section, from scoring V26 to V39. The Xpert analysis of quizzes and the Sigma Mock was very insightful in helping me understand my weakness and improve my score. But the guidance from the E-GMAT mentors, especially Dhruv, helped me a lot during my preparation, without whom, I would have never reached my goal.
I highly recommend the E-GMAT course. It is very useful, whether you are starting the preparation from zero, or are looking for a score improvement. On starting, kindly go through all instructions on how to best effectively use the course and follow their instructions, even if you feel that you don’t need them. It is their experience which has enabled them in creating this course, and I have realized my dream of scoring 720+ (110 points improvement from initial score of 620) with them.
