In-depth lessons and a great question bank

Strengths:

Verbal question-solving techniques and enough DI questions to practice.

Would make the product better:

Module files (non-video) could have a tempo option ie 1.5x and 2x to speed up the lessons.

I gave my GMAT FE on the 12th of December 2023, scoring 665 with Q90, V81 & DI 78. I used e-GMAT's course for the exam preparation. I took 2 months to prep for the exam. Some notes on the overall experience:

1. Quant:
I am an engineering undergrad working in finance, so I was confident in my quant skills. However, Hard quant questions can lead to time-drain if you do not know some essential tricks to solve the question faster or eliminate wrong answer choices. So, if you are starting at a higher ability in quant, revising these tricks can increase confidence by improving time management. I referred to e-GMAT's course materials / videos for these and practised some Medium and Hard questions from the OG. Overall in the actual exam, I solved all questions with 7mins to spare. I reviewed all answer choices but was confident in most. Thankfully, I got all the questions correct.

2. Verbal:
I dedicated 50-60% of my prep time to this section. e-GMAT's materials were helpful and their Question Bank (Scholaranium) is quite advanced. I learned techniques like Pre-thinking and honed my skills through their Cementing and Ability quizzes. However, I could not attempt all the questions in the Scholaranium or the OG due to the short 2-month prep time. I made a few consecutive mistakes in the exam which led to an 81/90.

3. Data Insights:
What a tricky section! Not sure if I was a bit exhausted since I came to this section after Q and V or if the section itself was tricky. Anyway, for DI, I had some familiarity with the different question types (TPA, MSR, DS, etc) in the section but struggled a lot with time management. I think I guessed the last 2 questions in the exam. Due to the no-partial-credit nature of the questions, time-drain is common for questions which you know you can get right. e-GMAT has a lot of DI questions in their Scholaranium and the course materials. I took this section up at the end of my prep and kind of hurried through it since I thought Q and V skills were transferrable to this section [not an excuse for the score ;) ].
