Strengths:

The Scholaranium platform - It is just brilliant with the analytics and the reservoir of different types of questions. There are small milestones that you achieve during coursework and you keep getting positive re-enforcement after each achievement, that helps keep the morale up.

Would make the product better:

They try to keep the weekly sessions inclusive for everyone. Probably, a few sessions can be kept only for the candidates who have availed the services.

The course gives you a real time analysis on where you stand when you take its first Sigma X mock test. I feel the verbal is a little easier than actual on the Sigma X mock tests but quants are tougher. Once you get that analysis, a timeline for preparation will be given to you in accordance with your needs that is really accurate. You just need to trust it and follow the timeline without missing a single day if you are on a tight schedule. I prepared for 2 months. I started with a score of 560 and reached 730 (Q49, V41). I could have done way bettwe even if I had 1 or 2 weeks more time on my hands. Their quant section teaches you all the concepts from basics and focuses on building a strong foundation rather than shortcuts. However, you can also check out their forums where multiple students have given various methods of solving problems, if your foundations are strong, you will be able to figure out the logic behind shortcuts as well. They will feed you so many questions during learning itself for both verbal and quants, that you will automatically start feeling confident. The verbal section gives you a variety of used cases and also talks about exceptions.
They have a mentorship proramme (if you are serious) and they chalk out your plan for the last few days before your test. This really gave my preparation a structure and helped me in revising concepts that I was lacking on. Their mentors are really helpful - Rashmi Vaidya guided me in my last few days of prep and helped me through this process smoothly.

Dear Tejash98,

Congratulations on the 730! Achieving a 170-point improvement in 2 months is highly impressive😊

I am glad that you started the right way – by taking the Sigma-X mock to assess your starting abilities and creating a Personalised Study Plan to structure your preparation.

I appreciate that you invested substantial time in building your foundation – both in verbal and quants. See how the time that you spent on building a rock-solid foundation helped you improve your accuracy for hard questions in NP to 67% (85th percentile):

I am glad that the practice questions during the learning stage helped you improve your confidence. Kudos to you for having taken this confidence to the next level by mastering the applications by practicing on GMAT-like questions during cementing. See how this structured approach helped you improve to 90th percentile ability across all the topics in Sentence Correction:

Thank you for your suggestion on the weekly sessions, but we try to keep it inclusive since we want everyone to benefit from these sessions. For our students, we have internal forums which you have used during the preparation, that one can leverage for any subject matter-related query. Also, we have a lot more such sessions in the pipeline and we shall keep your recommendation under consideration.

Tejash98, it was a pleasure mentoring you in the last days of your preparation and I am sure you will excel in any of the B-schools that you get into.

Wish you all the best,

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
