Structure, Strategy and Consistency

Having experimented with the free trials of various prep providers, I decided to go for e-GMAT considering its simple interface and highly structured prep plan.

I simply followed the order in which the entire course was laid out by e-GMAT - the order of concepts and the order in which every concept was structured (pre-concept quizzes, concept learning files, post concept quizzes, cementing quizzes and ability quizzes). This helped me methodically deep dive into concepts, cement my understanding and build test taking EQ at the same time.

I found both verbal and quants basics course to be very effective as building block tools, specially for students who aren't strong in either. Specific e-GMAT strategies such as pre-thinking in verbal and process skills in quant are game changers. Constant AI-assisted analytics insights throughout the course were very helpful in managing time efficiently - I focused more on my weak areas and kept nourishing the strong ones.

The question bank is amazing. It is at least 2 levels tougher across all difficulty levels than the actual GMAT, making the actual test sort of a cake walk. Scholaranium is, again, a game changer. Sigma X mocks simulate actual test environment very closely, and post test analytics are superb - they helped me analyze how my speed and accuracy varied as the difficulty kept going up or down. This helped me develop the right EQ for the actual test by consciously tracking the time to determine which questions to attempt or let go.

Overall, I'd highly recommend e-GMAT for GMAT preparations. If used consistently, 2-3 hours a day for 5 months can easily land you 700+.
