e-GMAT's Review

Strengths:

1. Structured
2. Concise
3. Easy to use
4. Customizable

Would make the product better:

Nothing much to improve but something that can be adapted -
It would be great if some discounts can be offered for the financially disadvantaged yet diligent student to help the overall student community!

An online educational platform is deemed a great one if its content, user interface, and adaptability can help students conquer their goals in a structured yet fluidic manner.

This is where e-GMAT surpassed my expectations.

To begin with, I’ll break the GMAT exam into its two major components –
1. Verbal Section
2. Quant Section

The Verbal Section – e-GMAT’s methodology to ace the SC section involves comprehending the meaning of the sentences followed by applying the correct grammatical rules. This technique, made simpler with the plethora of GMAT-styled questions, helped me reach 90%+ accuracy. The entire SC module has been deconstructed into shorter videos, which, when followed in chronological order, help summarize every nuance within this section. The SC module is then followed by the CR modules, in which specialized techniques such as the pre-thinking approach, variance test, ABC tests et. al. help the student view every CR question in a much more systematic manner. Once a student is familiar with these methods, the RC section begins to appear reasonably easier to tackle.
Verbal Scholaranium is e-GMAT’s collection of handpicked verbal questions that are at par or can be considered a notch harder than the current GMAT test questions. If one is able to utilize this adequately, the person will surely excel in the Verbal section of the GMAT exam.

The Quant Section – As I’m relatively comfortable with the quant section, I questioned the learning process during my preparation. Why am I supposed to go through the basics? Will it not waste my time? This is where P.A.C.E kicks in!
P.A.C.E is e-GMAT’s proprietary algorithm, which helps the student chart out their preparation plan based on the diagnostic tests attempted. Hence, a student who is relatively stronger in a certain section within the quants module will be in a position to skip those particular files.
This helped me ‘pace’ my preparation. The quality of questions in the Scholaranium is exceptional (though relatively difficult compared with the actual GMAT questions) and these questions helped my Q48 improve to a Q50!

For someone who is inherently a poor test-taker, multiple customizable quizzes helped me prepare for the actual exam. This, coupled with the 5 Sigma-X Mock Tests helped me prepare my test-taking strategies. The Sigma-X mocks are an accurate representation of the actual exam. One can expect a +/- 10/20 points deviation in their official scores.

Lastly, no platform is complete without the human touch. My mentor, Rida Shafeek, and her colleagues were extremely helpful in guiding and motivating me for my exam. There were days when I would be mentally exhausted and physically drained. However, her constant support in charting out a hyper-specific time-bound preparation plan helped me power my 640 to a whopping 760! I’d highly recommend e-GMAT to every GMAT aspirant out there. A solid 10/10!
