Strengths:

Course content and structure, learning methodologies and processes like SC meaning-based approach or CR pre-thinking, personalized study plans and great analysis tools into sub-section abilities, and finally, their 1:1 support as part of the last mile program

I began preparing for the GMAT very late in the game for Round 2 applications this year and e-GMAT is the sole reason I was able to achieve my target (nay, dream) score. I would blindly recommend to anyone and everyone regardless of your starting level and here's why:
1) Course structure: with so many different resources to choose from online, not to mention the countless test-prep publishers, it can get a little overwhelming deciding what to study and that's where I really appreciated the e-GMAT modular course structure which has both breadth of everything you need to know and also depth (tons of practice questions and video lessons) in whichever areas you seek to improve
2) Course content: in my opinion, the learning content and unique approach to certain sections of the test has clearly been developed over years and is second to none. For example, the meaning-based approach to SC, pre-thinking in CR and the invaluable process skills in Quant
3) Quality of questions and analysis tools: I only covered about 25% of the total number of questions available on the platform and yet was able to expose myself to almost every little trick the GMAT test makers may use. Scholaranium 2.0 is awesome and after you guys are done with the learning modules, this should be where you spend most of your team and do most of your learning (and score improving!). Further, their analysis tools to judge your ability based on your performance in not just a subsection (say Algebra) but even more granular (like simplifying algebraic expressions or solving quadratic equations) and therefore you know where to improve your accuracy to achieve your target sectional (and sub-sectional) scores/ability
4) Last and perhaps the biggest reason for my to recommend e-GMAT is their hyper-personalized learning plans and the 1:1 support I received as part of the Last Mile Program. Rashmi was a not just a constant source of support and helped me maintain discipline, but also drafted my study plan personalized based on my initial mock test and then every few weeks into it would check in and make adjustments if needed. I felt the same level of motivation and commitment from the other e-GMAT mentors that I have interacted with and am positive that you all will be better-off for having their support.

Strengths:

1 - Adaptive Pacing - Especially in Quant, the adaptive pacing helps the student skim over the topics he/she is comfortable with and spend appropriate time on topics one is struggling with.

2 - Assigned mentor - Once a student is done with the learning phase of the course, a mentor is assigned to him/her. this is especially useful as the mentor can optimize the student's time and ensure that he/she is not wasting time on irrelevant stuff.

3- the Scholaranium - this is the question bank of E-gmat and I can't emphasize enough on its importance. it is very well designed and closely resembles the questions on the actual GMAT. The Question bank has enough questions to practice, provided one judiciously uses it and doesn't squander it. the Mentor can really help the student here.

Would make the product better:

1 - Completely self-driven - I would want a bit more initiative from the team during the revision / strategizing phase. The team is always quick to respond to mails and texts, no complaints there, but I feel a bit more initiative from the team will go a long way.

I enjoyed my time with the E-gmat. I opted for a 2-month course with a one-month extension. I initially gave my gmat with 2-month prep and scored 700. Before this, I did not take any coaching from any other platform and stuck to GMAT club practice questions for practice and Manhattan for the concept. I scored a 700 with this and decided to opt for a re-test along with an e-gmat subscription.
This decision proved helpful. In the verbal section, I could gauge my improvement and keep tabs on the concepts I was faltering in. Their mentorship program also helped me identify key areas where I was lacking, on which I diligently worked. I was especially fumbling in CR initially, but the structure-driven approach helped bolster the concept for me.
their difficulty Quant coursework is a notch higher in difficulty when compared to the GMAT, which makes the Quant section a breeze in the actual exam.
their mocks too are an apt representation of the level of questions one will face in the actual gmst and they help in the process of preparation for the same. I was scoring around 730 in their Mocks and was quite happy with myself. But in the actual exam, I got 710 (owing to some personal issues I was going through on my end)
Overall, I am quite happy with the E-gmat coursework and its mentorship program. They make sure one is comfortable with the process and ensure that every need of the student is met in a timely manner. The mentors work with you towards your dream score and assist you in every possible way

Strengths:

The content is tailored to what is tested on the GMAT. The course content is very easy to understand. The best part is that the basics of every topic is covered which makes it easy to solve difficult questions.

The dashboard is also interactive. Most of the doubts are already answered on the forum which makes it quick to understand the faltering points.

Would make the product better:

The number of hard difficulty question can be increased. Also, the number of mock tests can be increased or an option can be given to reset the mock test.

My overall experience with e-GMAT has been really pleasant. Their study plan and methods are really effective. I started my preparation with a score of 540. My basics were really weak but e-GMAT helped me build those basics and helped me improve. I could see a tremendous within the first 15 days. The strategies taught really helped. Even the questions bank is really extensive and has a wide variety of questions that gives you an ample set to identify the faltering points and improve.

I had a phobia for RC but the reading strategies really helped overcome it and improve my accuracy. Pre-thinking and falsification techniques in CR are also very crucial and helps a lot in eliminating wrong answer choices.

Special shoutout to Akash, one of the strategy experts at e-GMAT. He helped in creating an effective personalized study plan. His constant support and help was extremely crucial in planning the entire journey and was pivotal in making the right decisions at the right time. He really went out of his way to help me out and made every effort to make sure I score well.

I highly recommend e-GMAT to GMAT aspirants. The team really focuses on providing the best practices and plan tailored to every student. They also help you with additional content and lectures to help you clear concepts and make sure you learn and apply the concepts in the easiest way possible.

Strengths:

1. Meaning based approach in Sentence Correction
2. RC Reading strategies
3. And the most important, it's LMP (Last Mile Push) program

I enrolled with E-GMAT in November 2022 after my 4th GMAT attempt. I had scored a 620 in my 4th attempt and was extremely disheartened as the score was not representative of all the hard work I had put in over the past few months. Quite frustrated with the whole situation, I took the first e-gmat sigma mock 2 days after my 4th attempt and scored a 690. I had heard from my friends that e-gmat sigma mocks are a reliable predictor of your current gmat ability. After seeing the 690 score, I quickly signed up for the e-gmat online 360 (which includes both verbal and quant prep) and was amazed at the brilliance of questions and their solutions. Since I had already solved a lot of OG questions, I felt that the Scholaranium questions truly match up to the level of OG questions. After working for about a month on the egmat course, I reached out to their support team for enrollment to the LMP program. Since LMP is an invite only program and is offered to only few students, I was pleasantly surprised when Rida Shafeek responded to my request. Rida analysed my previous ESRs in detail and was ready to enroll me under her mentorship. She chalked out a comprehensive improvement plan based on my strengths and weaknesses, recommended some amazing test taking strategies and helped me push my score from 620 to 710 (Q49 V38 IR8). Thank you Rida for always being there and offering such valuable insights. Without your help I would have never crossed the 700+ score in GMAT. Thank you to the whole e-gmat team for dedicating all your efforts towards helping candidates.

The GMAT for me was easily the most daunting part of my application. After tons of hours spent researching and contacting seniors and friends who had given the GMAT, I purchased the e-GMAT online 360 course to assist me in my prep, and I was not disappointed. The verbal course is truly outstanding and gives you a fantastic framework to analyze and break down the questions to their bare bones, which enables you to eliminate the incorrect answer choices efficiently and confidently. Using their iron-clad process, I was able to boost my verbal score to a V38 (first time I ever prepared for or attempted the GMAT). The quant course is not talked about enough in my opinion, and is comprehensive in helping you master every single topic you would ever be tested on the GMAT. I achieved a Q50 on my first try thanks to the course.

However, more than the materials, I feel the place where e-GMAT truly shines is structuring your study plans and giving you an idea about where you stand along each step of the journey. The portal along with their extremely helpful support staff ensures you are following a consistent plan towards improvement, and if you clear the thresholds the portal asks from you, you are ready to shoot for a super elite score. Highly recommend the course to everyone.

Strengths:

User friendly platform

I was referred e-Gmat by a friend and I'm so glad I referred to the e-gmat platform to get through the GMAT exam.
Some highlights of the platform and the e-Gmat team that are relevant for anybody considering e-gmat for their preps
• e-Gmat provides a structured approach to preparing for the test- this process driven approach really helped me in the verbal section in which topics are interlinked to a large extent and can be overwhelming even for some one who knows good English.
• The PACE tool in QA helped me in saving time in concepts I already had a good hold
• The subject matter and strategy experts are very helpful. All communication happens through emails and I always got a prompt response for my queries. My mentor, Akash, provided a lot of assistance by preparing customised plans and strategies for the test- he always kept me motivated. Overall, the e-Gmat team is great. Never felt like I’m dealing with people here to make money- it was more like the team is there to help me- in my opinion its very important to feel that way.
• All in all, great team, fabulous platform- never faced any technical issues and strong credibility.

When I first heard about e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course, I was hesitant to enroll. I wasn't sure about taking an online course, and I was also a bit put off by the fact that there was no option to skip verbal videos. However, looking back now, I'm so glad that I took the leap and enrolled in the course. As it turned out, watching the verbal videos was incredibly helpful in building my foundation, and I'm convinced that it played a significant role in my score improvement.

While the course was video-based and didn't have any live instructors, the support that I received from the e-GMAT team was incredible. I had a few questions along the way, and I was always able to get in touch with someone who was knowledgeable and responsive. I want to give a special shoutout to Dhruv Joshi, who was particularly helpful in answering my questions and providing guidance throughout my preparation.

Prior to taking the e-GMAT course, I was quite disappointed with my first GMAT attempt, which resulted in a score of 640. However, thanks to the course's comprehensive content and effective teaching methods, I was able to improve my score by a whopping 60 points. My latest GMAT score is 700 (Q49, V36), which was a huge relief and has given me the confidence to pursue my MBA goals.

Overall, I would highly recommend e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score. While I was initially hesitant, I'm so glad that I decided to take the course. The support from the e-GMAT team was invaluable, and the course itself was instrumental in my score improvement.

Strengths:

Course material is a strength
Their Support team is very resourceful

Would make the product better:

The verbal section needs AI.
Support team can be proactive in asking if their students have difficulties
I didnt talk to the support team until i had severe difficulties.I would've probably done the prep faster if the support team were in constant touch with me since the very start instead of waiting for me to ask for help

The links that are sent to Us when we ask for help should be readily available in our dashboard
ie- for trouble in Verbal watch this video on visualisation by harsha
It will help a lot of students

I had a score improvement of 130 points.
I went from being super weak in verbal from v22 to v35
The main USP is the help/support
I suggest everyone to be in constant touch with the egmat support team.Talk to them atleast once a week and ask them for tips and vids to improve
ask them for help they are the best out there.
I was struggling with everything in verbal
I reached out to the support team in desperation they sent links to videos which helped me a lot.

All i want to say to people reading this is
Make sure you give yourself adequate time for prep
I thought i would complete my prep in 2 months but actually felt like i was never prepared
Finally even though i still felt like i needed more time
I just booked a date and gave the exam

You dont need to be perfect at the first try
Please dont think the way i did
I thought i will first perfect myself and then book the exam date.This led me to go in to a downward spiral where i was prepping day in and day out without any foreseeable date.
Just book the exam date and give it
You can iterate on it if you feel like you need better

Strengths:

The verbal course is really great and comprehensive. The course is very interactive with the pre-quiz to gauge your current knowledge on the topic and then the lesson followed by the post-quiz. The PACE AI was really helpful for quants as it allowed me to skip lessons in which we already have a good hold. Scholaranium was great for practice and the level of questions in it and the Sigma-X mocks were representative of the actual GMAT. The analytics was really insightful and allowed me to target my weaknesses and focus on what’s important.

I started my GMAT preparation in the first week of August 2022 and soon realized that there was just too much information available on the internet. I needed a structured course and purchased the e-GMAT course on a friend’s recommendation. As I had my GMAT scheduled in mid-October, I quickly went through the course without really going according to the plan. I scored 630 (V31, Q45). I knew I could score better so after returning dejected from the test centre I decided to mail the e-GMAT team. They were really quick to respond and Dhruv was assigned as my mentor. He went through my ESR and laid out a detailed step-by-step improvement plan starting with SC. The meaning-based approach helped a lot here. I was also told to make an error log which also helped me track my mistakes and understand the pattern of mistakes I was making. After I was done with my SC improvement, I was given another detailed plan for CR. Pre-thinking was a game changer in CR as it gave me a direction on how to go about answering CR problems. I was able to solve hard questions with ease with the help of the pre-thinking technique. After CR improvement we went ahead with similar plans for RC followed by Verbal test readiness and Quants. The analytics page especially in Quants was really valuable for me as I was able to target my weaknesses and this allowed me to devote more time to Verbal. The level of questions in the Sigma-X mocks was also great and representative of the actual GMAT and the scores I got in these mocks were also close to my actual GMAT score. I gave another attempt in January and scored 710 this time (V39, Q49). Dhruv was a great mentor and provided a lot of value as he was quick to respond to all my queries and in drafting apt improvement plans which helped me improve by 80 points.

Strengths:

1. The online platform built by e-GMAT which helps you assess you strengths and weaknesses with respect to sub-topics, difficulty level and timing.
2. The dedicated support through mentors (part of the Last Mile Program only) who chart out a prep plan allocating time to be spent on learning concepts and solving questions.

Would make the product better:

1. The Quant problem banks have some unnecessarily difficult questions. These are beyond what is tested by the GMAT.
2. The Last Mile Program and the terms and conditions should be described clearly during the first introduction call. They are brought into the picture only after the test taker has purchased and enrolled into the course.

I gave my final GMAT attempt on 4th March 2023 and scored a 740 (Q49, V42). This was my second attempt, less than three weeks after my initial attempt (690 - Q48, V37) on 13th Feb 2023. In between both attempts, I signed up for e-GMAT's $149 course.

I first came to know of e-GMAT through their Youtube channel when I was watching their Sentence Correction videos on the Meaning-based Approach. I liked their approach because it felt quite natural and relatable to how I had approached SC questions when I had attempted them without any preparation. Most importantly, it took the focus away from Grammar rules, at least partially, which I had dreaded from the time I was in middle school. After my first attempt, I felt that I needed professional help to identify and address my weaknesses in a pin-pointed manner but in a short amount of time. After my introductory call with Mansi from e-GMAT, I was convinced that they would be able to help me in the hyper-customized fashion that I was looking for.
Based on my ESR from the first attempt and a few diagnostic quizzes I took over a week during the evenings, the strategy expert from e-GMAT, Rida, helped me with a day-wise plan to address my weaknesses. Within 3-4 days, we were able to cover most of the topics and were ready to re-evaluate my test-readiness through a Sigma-X mock. While my overall performance on the mock was not as expected, it did give me confidence on some of the topics I had worked upon during the preceding week. Eventually, during my second attempt, just 12 days since my journey with e-GMAT started, I was able to apply the learnings from the concepts, practice questions and mock that e-GMAT provided to land on a score I was glad to accept.

The concepts that were instrumental to boost my confidence were around Sentence Correction - Comparisons and Modifiers. The deep-dives into topics like As vs Like were extremely helpful. I was also able to brush up my concepts of Geometry and Inequalities as it had been a while since I had put them to use. While I do feel that the phase-wise prep style at e-GMAT is extremely helpful as a comprehensive prep strategy, what worked for my time-sensitive use-case was the analytics-driven approach to identify my weaknesses across topics, difficulty level of questions and the time taken to solve questions.

I would definitely recommend e-GMAT to test-takers who are at a stage where I was when I approached them, i.e., if you are scoring 650+ and need the help of tools and a professional to pin-point your weaknesses and work on them to achieve a 700+ score. I’m sure e-GMAT has a lot more to offer to a lot more people, but in my limited interaction of 12 days, they were able to help me in a time-sensitive hyper-customized manner. The motivation that Rida, my strategy expert sent my way was the icing on the cake.
