Gmat : Good stuff

I bought egmat primarily due to my struggle with sentence correction and critical reasoning. The thing with sentence correction is that the grammar rules are just so diverse that it's quite a task to assimilate all of this stuff. EGMAT does a fantastic job at cementing all of these concepts. Also a quick mention of their last mile program. Kunal Bhatia from egmat was working with me, analyzing my performance and giving me real time feedback about my performance, while also giving me concrete steps to take to improve my performance in both the areas. I am grateful for that. Thanks EGMAT.

Best Course for GMAT Verbal

  • Recommended forVerbal: Yes  Math: No
  • GMAT ScoresBefore: N/A After: 740

1. Foundation and Structured Learning Here they used to teach from very basic, which made the concepts easy to grasp and apply. For each of the 3 sections of Verbal, they have a specified structured approach and methodologies to solve every question of that section irrespective of difficulty. This not only increases the probability of answering the question correct but in the exam environment every question is same for you and not wasting time or energy in differentiating the difficulty level and approach to solve such questions  2. Cementing and test readiness tests After completing modules of every sub-section, cementing quizzes are to be done which make sure that the person is comfortable in applying concepts thought in medium/difficult questions as well and moving to next section only after such surety  3. Continuous guidance from strategy team Throughout my journey, I got constant support for Strategy guidance and personal guidance/solution to all the hurdles which were coming in my way. I faced a lot of difficulties to pass SC cementing, but got right steps to how to work on it by DJ and thereby increased my ability to solve SC hard questions. Not only this, I give the credit to such strategy guidance by Rajat which helped me to have an around 10 point improvement in 10 days.  Without a 2nd doubt, E-gmat is amazing for Verbal

I might be a user of the e -gmat portal for the longest time so you can believe me when i tell you- GO FOR IT!.Their best feature that helped me the most is their doubt forum- it has so many already solved doubts that it'll only help you learn more.Go through the already solved doubts of a tough question and you will see 30 different approaches and why the provided solution is the best one.Now imagine the amount of knowledge you can gain by just scrolling through the doubts. Their courses need no introduction, their verbal and quant will prepare you for everything that will be thrown at you during test day, the scholaranium will help you improve your accuracy and the sigma x mocks will help you fine tune your strategy for D-day.I wish they had more mocks.Their support has always solved my doubts within a day,  If you need help ,email them, they WILL help you in any way they can.Ill highly recommend them for any serious aspirant.

My GMAT preparation around March 2020 and I was struggling with Verbal. Then after a while, the e-gmat team offered a Mentorship program for students. I would highly recommend E-GMAT's mentorship program for the following reasons:- 1. Archit helped me provide a crisp and clear weekly plan annd kept the big picture in mind.  2. He was absolutely transparent in his approach and was always available to answer queries.  3. The stategy huddles were of great importance because it helped me to gain valuable insights from different student experiences for eg. I had no idea how to prepare error logs, do strategic reviews, and analyze Sigma-X mocks earlier, but then connecting to other students helped me to learn all of these. Also, it provided me a lot of motivation to not to give up and stay focussed.  He provided a lot of feedback by providing a lot of insights from my performances in the quizzes and mocks.  5) The whole e-gmat experience is data-driven and my mentor made sure that I understand each aspect of it. We discussed how to spend time improving my performance, how to effectively manage my time in the mocks, how to focus on even the tiniest of details including every single sub-sectional quiz, sectional quiz. I would highly rate the mentorship program 10/10 from my experience. I would highly recommend the e-gmat program for all the GMAT test-takers because I feel that this kind of experience is one of a kind and it will definitely save you from all the hassle and doubts about the GMAT exam.

I would highly recommend E-GMAT's mentorship program for the following reasons:- 1) Before enrolling into the program, I was not following any strategy/plan for how to proceed with my preparation whereas after enrolling, my mentor ( Dhananjay Lowe) put me into a weekly milestones plan which helped me follow a streamlined process and attain my goals. 2) We used to have weekly check-in, in which we discussed the problem I was facing and planned accordingly. The milestones were broken down on a daily basis which helped to stay on track with my preparation. 3) Strategy Huddles - Each student is allocated to a cohort and we used to connect and discuss real-time experiences.

eGMAT Mentorship: an excellent way to structure my prep

August 4, 2020
  • Teacher: Archit Bhargava
  • Recommended forVerbal: Yes  Math: Yes
  • GMAT ScoresBefore: N/A After: 760

Hi guys!  I wanted to provide a review for the eGMAT mentorship programme. This programme was definitely a great investment to help me structure my prep, allowing me to jump from 620 to 760 in six months!  The mentorship programme is a carefully structured offering, in which the students is paired with a mentor, who coaches them every step of the way during the prep. Let me tell you just how my story went with my mentor, Archit Bhargava.  When I first started, Archit assessed my ability by reviewing my latest mock. We held a call, in which he sought to understand how my prep journey had been so far, where my main strengths lay, and in which key areas my prep needed to focus. Based on the insights of that call, he created a detailed study plan for me to follow over the following weeks.  Now, the true strength of the plan Archit created was in how detailed it was. You see, the mentorship programme’s study plans are milestone-driven. This means that the plan is not a high-level statement with abstract goals and no timelines or indicators of success. On the contrary: the milestone-driven plans are plans that are detailed on a day-by-day basis (seriously, day-by-day). What does this mean for the student? That you get a plan that tells you exactly what you are supposed to do every day. This prevents you from running into that feeling that you get when you want to study, and you are like “ok, so where should I focus my attention now?”. It allows you to focus your energy exactly on what you need.   To support me along my way, Archit would check in on me every week to see if I had managed to fulfil the milestones. This weekly touch point helped me stay focused and gave me the motivation no to drop my prep – it was just what I needed to always look for a slot in which I could study, so as not to fall behind. With the information of how many milestones I had completed, plus my feedback on how that week had been overall, Archit would draw the plan for the following week. This plan of course had the primary objective of helping me keep advancing with my prep, but we were also very mindful that I could actually complete the milestones in the time I had available to study (I was working 12+ h every day, so trust me when I tell you that iterating and adjusting the plan on a weekly basis was indeed necessary!).  Besides the milestone-driven plan, which is just a great way of pushing you to keep moving forward, the mentorship programme also provides you with Strategy Hurdle sessions. What are these? They are meetings held every two or three weeks with other students in the programme. In these meetings, Archit would present topics that were not content-related but still vital to our prep, such as time management, stress handling, and common pitfalls in the prep journey (paired with how to avoid them). The format of these sessions was a mix between the presentation of research, case studies, and open discussion between the group members. The sessions were actually quite useful, for they allowed me to learn from what other programme members were doing and leverage their best practices.  So, all in all, what can you expect from the mentorship programme? • A mentor who will evaluate where you are standing and shed light on your strengths and areas for improvement (if you are extra lucky, this will be Archit) • A personalised study plan that is created based on your baseline, target and availability to study, and that provides you with a day-by-day guide as to what to study and do • Regular iteration with your mentor to constantly adjust the plan and make sure you keep on the right track • Strategy Hurdle sessions, in which you will be able to share and hear experiences from others, learn best practices and receive tips for you prep and exam  If you are willing to commit the time and energy that it takes to study to get a great score in the GMAT, then this is really one of the best offerings out there. I hope you can benefit from it as much as I did!  All the best ????

e-GMAT Mentorship Experience

  • Recommended forVerbal: Yes  Math: Yes
  • GMAT ScoresBefore: 490 After: 660

I thought Iwould share my experience with e-gmat and particularly e-GMAT Mentorship programfor the benefit of all. When I started to study for GMAT, I needed studymaterial that’s not in-class environment and that I can refer to a lecturenumerous times if I want to. e-GMAT ticked all the boxes and I found it was beyondwhat I had expected. Then adding to this, came the Mentorship program and my mentorDhananjay Lowe (Dj). He explained to me everything about the program and setthe right expectations. With theother aspirants across the world, our Cohort has started. Dj was very clearfrom day one on what one must focus on. He helped me identify weak areas andtailored the study plan accordingly. He was very prompt at sending them andfollowing up the same. The schedule was tight yet very promising. Best part isDj never gave a leeway, which really helped me in focussing on my plan. We usedto have fortnightly strategy hurdles, where all members Cohort came togetherand Dj used to present Leader board, Inspirational stories etc. Once the initial learning phase was completedmy results from Mock weren't great and I was totally disappointed. My mentor,Dj, curated the results and the way he interpreted them, with a keen eye todetail, helped me to structure my further course of study. I gradually improvedmy score from 580 - 670 in Mocks. Another aspect to talk about this program isthe Cohort. It was very vibrant and composed of brilliant minds. We always usedto share problems, success stories and exchange ideas. It was fun and knowledgeable.I always wondered what my journey would be without this mentorship. If anyoneasks me about the mentorship program, I wouldn't even think for a sec to say aBIG YES. A person coaching you and guiding you to achieve your dream, which isinvaluable. It’s undoubtedly a 10 on 10 program.

I recommend egmat for anyone preparing for GMAT. Verbal was my weak section. Egmat's SC module elucidated tough grammar concepts. Also focusing on meaning helped increased my accuracy in SC. Egmat's proprietary method of pre-thinking assumptions for CR before going to answer choices Improved my accuracy in CR. The quality of their questions as well as the entire e-learning module is high. Their reading comprehension module taught me to read actively. Its very hard to find high quality verbal questions to practice. I feel Egmat team has done a very good job of putting together some high quality questions on scholarium to further hone your skills. Similarly the Quant module and scholarium questions were at par with official questions.

E-gmat Mentorship program

July 21, 2020
  • Teacher: DHANANJAY LOWE
  • Recommended forVerbal: Yes  Math: Yes
  • GMAT ScoresBefore: N/A After: N/A

Hey Guys I would highly recommend the E-gmat course and especially the E-gmat mentorship programme. As a child I was never thought to think, since the education system from where I am some what promotes rote learning. However, after enrolling for E-gmat I learned how to think and apply concepts, without which believe me it isn't going to be easy to BEAT the GMAT.  I was weak in my verbal Section, hardly scored anything when I gave my GMAT for the first time. CR and SC were my weakest sections and I just couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. After I joined E-gmat not only did they teach me the basics for SC and CR, but also taught me how to strategically review the questions I got wrong. My mentor, Dhananjay Lowe (DJ ), especially helped me with it. When I took the GMAT for the first time I literally had solved and maxed out all the questions without even reviewing strategically, which was the biggest mistake I made. Then DJ told and taught me how to make the most out of each question. He conducted seminars on Zoom where our whole batch could ask any questions. He is very prompt to reply on emails. You could literally ask them any question and they would help you with it. DJ provided us with extremely detailed weekly plans and my Verbal improved by 10 points in my first mock itself. I have yet not given my 2nd attempt for the Gmat yet but I believe that I will be able to score my target score. After every mock, I have a interaction with my mentor and he suggests what I do to improve my score. For instance in my First mock I scored low , I was disappointed and doubted myself. Then my mentor and I had a talk and we discussed what I could do to improve. Looking at the amazing analysis that e-gmat provides on SIGMA X mocks and listening to DJ's advice I improved by 40 points in a week and I was happy at my progress. To keep us engaged we had a Whatsapp group of all enthusiastic students who could post any question and too which other students would answer and help us, which has been very helpful.  Every week we would be told who scored a 700 + in the group motivating me a lot and making me believe that it is possible with just a bit more effort.  I was always worried if it would be worth investing 250$+ in an online course, always skeptic of it. Now I just think it has been one of my best investments. Especially the amount of time I have saved from getting these weekly plans. If anyone is having double thoughts of whether they should buy the course or no. Don't think twice just buy it. You'll see your scores improve. Look forward to my plan with e-gmat and scoring my target score. And if I were to rate the mentorship program out 1-10 I would give it a 10

E-GMAT Mentorship Experience

  • Teacher: Dhananjay Lowe
  • Recommended forVerbal: Yes  Math: Yes
  • GMAT ScoresBefore: N/A After: N/A

I would highly recommend E-GMAT's mentorship program for the following reasons:- 1. Before enrolling into the program, I didn't have study schedule for each day, I had generic schedule which told me how many days I should spend on what section ( for example how many days shall I spend on SC, RC, NP etc.) but it didn't further break it down to topic level, whereas E-gmat's mentorship program broke down the study plan at topic level, for example if we take NP, it told be on what days shall I do what topics, using that level of detail I was able to evaluate whether I am lagging behind the plan or I am keeping up with it or excelling it, this way I had a set path to follow instead of wandering in an aimless direction. When we have a plan, half the battle is won, because we know the rest of it is executing that plan and E-GMAT's strategy experts make sure that you execute and every week check with you to see how you are doing with the plan and accordingly create a new plan for next week, so the plan is broken down by day. 2. If there is any trouble you are facing with any topic, strategy expert ( for example in my case, Dhananjay Lowe) made sure to solve that trouble by either telling you how you can improve in that particular topic or by connecting you with the subject matter expert, this way that topic is taken care of so that you become better and excel in it. 3. In the mentorship program I was assigned to a cohort and there were other students in it, I found it very useful because of few reasons. First, if I am facing any issue, whether it is time taken to solve a question, facing any difficulty with any topic, there will be some to answer it in a very short period of time. Second, the support provided by the other students in the cohort in terms of boosting your confidence by sharing their own experiences and how they overcame any particular issue that they faced, is of immense value 4. Dhananjay Lowe ("DJ") created strategy hurdles for the cohort of which I was a part of, the topics covered were super useful, for example in one of the strategy hurdles we talked about how students improved their score just by being mindful of the time they spent on each question and what are the different strategies to improve timing in GMAT. The topics covered in the hurdles set you up for success. 5. I felt DJ is invested in making sure that I achieve my target score, is there to support me through ups and downs of the preparation and to keep me motivated and making me believe that if I keep on following the plan I will achieve my target score. I believe that kind of support is invaluable as you know that someone is there to guide your right through your preparation process and support you in all the difficulties that you are facing in your GMAT preparation journey. 6. E-GMAT's GMAT program is data driven and DJ helped me in inferring that data which helped me in seeing how much time I spend in what topics, where do I spend a lot of time, what topics I am facing difficulty in, then accordingly preparing strategy to overcome the issues that I am facing.  For all the reasons that I mentioned above, I rate the mentorship program at 10 on a scale of 1-10.

I started my prep in January. The first thing I would say is that I started my prep inefficiently. I just went through the concept files without doing essential things, such as doing revision and noting my errors in the error logs. In the middle of the prep, I emailed the EGmat support team and then they offered me the mentorship/cohort program. In short, the program was very beneficial. The personalized milestone system was extremely efficient and my mentor (DJ) always personalized the milestone accordingly to my needs. He also motivated me to always keep on track. The problem with my prep was that I was short in time and had a very tight schedule. Overall, I would highly recommend the course (Verbal & Quant) from the EGmat and the mentorship program.

The mentorship was excellent, and I appreciated the transparency of the staff. There was zero tolerance for outside distractions taking you away from achieving your eGMAT milestones; it was the push I needed to stay on track. I do believe the mentorship created the diligence within me that was required to achieve my goals. That learned diligence is what ultimately led to my admission to a top MBA program.  My discouragement was met with data-driven insights and an encouraging mentor in Karan. I knew in real-time where my progress stood, which provided the guidance I needed to focus on the right areas. The cohort provided relief and a fresh perspective; you felt like part of a team working to achieve greatness. I also enjoyed the personal attention from my Thursday check-ins. Everyone is different and needs a keen eye on their progress to tailor the right recommendation.   10 out of 10, I would recommend this for anyone trying to achieve an excellent GMAT score!

Improvement in SC! (650 to 710)

June 16, 2019

  • GMAT ScoresBefore: 650 After: 710

I gave the GMAT, two years ago with an organised prep. Going into the exam I thought time management would be my greatest issue as I knew I struggled in SC. During the verbal section, my fears materialised and I ended up with only being able to complete 25 questions in the section with a verbal score of 28 as I just marked the rest randomly.
When I planned to give the exam again this May, I asked around and was recommended the preparation course by e-GMAT and I'm thankful for that. Through the e-GMAT because online prep I was able to learn the core skills and concepts I needed to tackle verbal questions, especially the sentence correction questions. This boost proved to be pivotal to me this time around. I was able to complete the verbal section on time and scored a v34 with a great improvement in my score (710). I especially loved the video lectures and concepts with questions alongside them, enabling me to apply what I learnt.
It was a great experience!

Not an optimal GMAT preparation tool

June 9, 2019
  • Teacher: Payal Tandon
  • Recommended forVerbal: No  Math: No
  • GMAT ScoresBefore: 560 After: 550

I started preparing for GMAT somewhere in Apr-17 by my own and given my first GMAT on 09-Sept-17. I had referred only one book -Princeton GMAT Review apart from the diagnostic test from official guide. I scored a score of 560(Q49, V17) which I cancelled as my target score was 650+. I asked few of my colleagues for my improvement in the score. They suggested to take e-GMAT course. I enrolled on 14-Sept-17 for this course. I judiciously completed complete verbal course and solved all the recommended official questions. I partially solved their verbal scholoranium. I also went through their Quant courses partially. Meanwhile I had scheduled my exam date which was 04-Mar-18. I got a score of 580 (Q49, V19). Again I cancelled my score as it was not meeting my minimum score criteria of 650. I took six month extension of their course to complete the Quant as well as scholaranium. I fully competed the quant course, completed Quant and verbal scholaranium to a great extend and brushed up the verbal portion. I again appeared for the GMAT on 04-Aug-18 and ended up with 550 (Q50, V16).

Whether e-GMAT course was not effective for my preparation?

I started systematic with e-GMAT course as per their recommended schedule. I simply printed their recommended time table and pasted it on the wall. I simply colored the portion i completed. It took me around 4 months to complete the sentence structure and another two month for critical reasoning and reading comprehension. The course material was assisted with the live sessions by their instructors. The recommended official questions numbers were listed which I solved as per the guideline. The sentence correction course is quite dense, CR was moderate and RC was only explained with help of 2-3 examples. Though I brushed up the concept related to GMAT questions through this course and got a quite good understanding about the question types and pattern but I failed to improve my verbal score. In case of quant, though I improved only from Q49 to Q50, I was quite comfortable solving the quant questions in my 3rd attempt.

e-GMAT verbal teach concepts of verbal but it fails to provide the skills to make one fast. Even it makes one quite slow in their approach as there is no time to use the recommended methodological approach. e-GMAT quant approach is also methodological which might make one slow but a person of math background can get one's concept brushed up and can manage to have some improvement in score.

e-GMAT doesn't provide any exclusive instructor as they have various instructors for different topics who conducts live session. Live sessions adds only limited value to the preparation and is not as effective as advertised.

Looking forward for improvement in verbal through further preparations.

I am still currently going on with my preparation for GMAT with my exam scheduled on 17th June, so I'll only write a
short review about the course I have taken for now and the preparation. I will be writing a full detailed debrief on
how to prepare and how I went about it once I am done with the exam.

For the GMAT preparation I had already used Magoosh online course, Powerprep CR Bible and Manhattan Egmat books. I prepared for about a year,
although it wasn't a very regular preparation. I decided to take a mock before booking for the gmat date but could only score 560. After that I decided that I needed some more practice and a more structured approach. After scrolling through Gmat Club reviews I decided to go with Egmat as it seemed to be the favorite choice among the students.

I took the Gmat Online course. I studied for 6 months- not very regularly again owing to office work, and completed the
Quants section completely but in the verbal section I could only complete it till sentence correction.I always read and
understand each thing like a scholar, probably that's why it takes me a little more time to understand each section, each
video and then apply it. This time I had already booked the exam. So, before the day arrived I could not complete the
CR and RC sections from the EGMAT course. Few days before the test, I just revised my old Manhattan and Powerprep CR Bible notes and went on to give the test.

This time around I got a 620 in the test. Qaunts-45 and Verbal- 31, IR-6, AWA-5. I was not really satisfied as I held myself accountable for not getting a convincing result as my target score was 740.I left the test for a few months and went about improving my profile by completing a few certifications.As soon as I completed it, formulated a list of all the things which had led to my failure. I shall be publishing the full list in my detailed debrief. But, the main highlight of the list was- I realised that any failure is the result of a 'lack of consistency and accountability'. Once I fix these things I'll be well on my way to achieve my target score. Also, even if I fail again, it does't matter because I would have improved a great deal from my earlier attempt.

You are not defeated when you fall down, you are defeated when you refuse to get up. With that in mind, I extended my egmat online course to 3 months,
with a target of consistency. I knew it's not about the content but my approach towards it.

So, far I found EGMAT to be the best course out on the internet for the simple fact that it is STRUCTURED.
There is a methodical approach in which you go about your scheme of things. The first section is the most important,
where you are told as to how to go about the course. Every section contains Videos in the form of concept files. After
you watch them and also solve some questions along with the instructor, you are introduced to the Application files.
Here, you are taught via video explanations on how to approach the actual gmat questions. Then you are introduced to the
application files where you solve time based questions. For the tougher questions video explanations are given and for others
the written explanations are really good and solidify the concepts clearly.
The course even has OG questions extracted per topic which can be solved online itself, by just referring the options from the
OG book.

After completing one module, you take an advanced timed test for that module. At each step of this process, you can track your progress
via your scores in each test. If you are not understanding a particular concept, you can refer back to that concept file,
else you can fine tune your ability by going to an excellent tool- SCHOLARANIUM. In scholaranium, you can create your own customised test. You can choose easy, difficult or hard level questions, you can choose the time limit and You can even choose the topics
or subtopics that you would like to include in the set of questions.

After going through the course I can see a lot of improvement in my solving and understanding ability. The ESR report from the last test showed
an ability of 94% on SC which I had studied only from EGMAT. In the rest of CR and RC I got 33% each taking my score to 31.
I still have to write my test on 17th and hope to get to my target score this time around. Ps this is just a rough summary
and after the test I would be writing my complete journey- breaking it down into various phases from 560 to 620 and beyond,
how to go about things, how to ace Gmat for working professionals, the reasons for failures in any project in life,how
to fix things and achieve success and tips on each section of the test.

FROM ZERO HOPE TO 710

I had the most terrible time last couple of months because of a family member's ill health. I had a few weeks of preparation before the exam date and this was my second attempt at taking the exam. I was extremely wary about the whole process but I enrolled myself in the e-GMAT online course. I'll be honest when I first went through the master comprehension course, I didn't believe in the process at all, It seemed too easy to do and that made me think it won't be very effective. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the SC and CR lessons, I took a couple of lessons a day regularly and did a bit of quants every day as well. The RC section always through me back ( In the test I did this section the best) and I tried different shortcuts during my preparation to get to the right answer but ended up failing. Towards the end I followed the e-GMAT process, though long and simple, it ended up being the most effective.

Every concept in the verbal section are explained clearly and there's always the ask expert column to seek out more help. I attended quite a few free webinars of e-GMAT as well before my second attempt. The webinars, the clear explanations on the course made me a little confident in the verbal section. This time around, I did show less focus on quants and that proved in my end score as well.

On the exam date, I strictly stuck to the process taught in the course. I took time reading the RC passages and understanding the meaning of every sentence I read. At the end of the verbal section, I knew I did better than the last time. The relief you fee when you know you did well in a section is difficult to explain. That relief is because of e-GMAT and I am extremely grateful for the help they gave and continue to give me.

E-Gmat- Best Source for The Success in your GMAT Journey!

When I first started my GMAT prep a few years ago, I din't do much research and joined one of the Branded GMAT coaching centers, which only taught the RULES to follow to get an answer correct. I diligently followed their course work and gave my first GMAT and it turned out to be THE BIGGEST DISASTER.
I took a break for a while and then resumed my preparation on my own with the help of GMAT Club, yet I dint see much improvement in my scores and learnings. I then met a buddy in one of the Gmat club's Study Buddy Groups, many thanks to him. This friend told me about E-GMAT, I attended one of its webinars and immediately enrolled with it.
I love the methodical structure and the logical approach of E-GMAT?s material. The explanation of every question is very detailed and lucid.
Verbal ? The entire course is programmed in such a way that a beginner can start from basics and end up solving the most difficult question that GMAT can throw at us. The beauty of the course lies in the APPLICATION FILES, PRACTICE FILES, OG FILES, and the files? explanations. These files have 650-750 level questions and push us to solve every question applying the 3-step Analysis with more ease and diligence.
The 3-Step analysis for CR, RC and SC amazingly worked for me. This approach forces us to stick to the process and which in turn lets us to answer the question correctly and confidently. On the other hand, SCHOLARAIUM is another major platform, which helps in honing our skills.
I would definitely recommend E-GMAT Course.

Ace SC with e-gmat's Verbal online

I am in the midst of my GMAT preparation. I started studying for GMAT summer last year. Taking the GMAT for the first time, I had no clue of where to start with my preparations. For the first 2 months I read only the the OG books and some articles online. For some reason I felt pretty confident about the test. After 2.5 months I took my first GMAT and failed miserably. I scored only 620!!! The main reason for such a low score was I left 10 questions at the end. I started to think what exactly went wrong and how could I improve. I realized that the reason I used to get my OG questions correct was because I used to take a lottt of time to solve them. I never realized the importance timing!!!

I took a break off my preparation and 2 months later I started following the online forums trying to search for a course that can help improve my timing. I heard a lot of e-gmat, read the success stories and finally decided to take it up. E-Gmat's Verbal online course truly helped in giving me a structure. Using their 3 step process to solve the SC questions, helped me work on my timing. The 3 step process lays a great emphasis on understanding the meaning of the sentence, which in turn makes the elimination process super fast. Not just SC, but CR and RC as well, the course teaches us to practice a step by step approach to every question.

After 2 months of taking the entire course I took my 2nd official practice test and scored a 710!! I am now very hopeful for my second GMAT that I am taking in a month.

I had a pretty good grasp of quant concepts before joining the course - at least i thought i did. However, what this course taught me was that it's important to go in depth of each concept. So even if you are good at quant, I would still recommend this course.

The best thing about the course, and about e-GMAT in general, is the ease of use. Since *everything* is online, I can pick up where i left off even if I am on a different computer or tablet. Also, I would recommend following the course in the same order it is provided - that way you are always confident that your foundational concepts are strong.

Although I haven't written the test yet, I have seen improvement in my practice tests. I personally believe the improvement came from confidence that I definitely got from the course.
