A doctor's journey from 640 to 730

My journey with eGMAT from a 640 to a 730 has been wonderful. There are too many things to write about eGMAT. I will try to sum it up under a few sub-topics.

Content: It is extensive and covers all topics well. It is ideal for anyone who has been away from quant or verbal for some time. You really don’t need to search for concepts anywhere else. The course literally spoon-feeds you. The diagnostic and practice tests at the end of each chapter helps you apply your learning. An extra module on how to read helps a lot especially where to pause while reading and what keywords to look for.

Scholaranium 2.0 and Sigma X Mocks: Scholaranium 2.0 provides a lot of insights. The interface allows you to investigate every aspect individually and address your weak points. The questions are very standard and very similar to GMAT patterns. The solutions are well crafted and helps to strengthen the concepts so that a path can be worked out even if a question does not seem familiar in the exam (I am saying this from my own experience on the test day). Though the question banks may seem a bit too difficult at times, they really improve you thinking and application skills. The SigmaX mocks are exceptional. They are a wonderful mix of medium and difficult level questions. Be it the question bank or the mock, each question comes with an “Ask an expert” option at the end of the solution. This helps a lot, especially when you have used a different approach or have applied a different concept to reach the solution. Simply post the issue/approach/concept and the expert team gets back within 24 hours. It gives that sense of 1-on-1 tutoring to be frank.

Mentorship Program: I will certainly suggest this to anyone who signs up with eGMAT. Having a mentor really helps. I worked with Archit for 3 months, and it certainly decreased the amount of time I would have otherwise needed to reach my target score. The mentorship program allows you to work under a timed and structured fashion with weekly milestones to be achieved. The program provides customized plans to suit each student and that sets it apart. It keeps you on your toes and if you can stick to it efficiently, it will certainly prove beneficial.
