Let me just start my review by thanking the creators of the course and Scholaranium .

I would like to mention beforehand that everyone's preparation method is different and mine may not resonate with others. I literally used the course for 30 days (around 10 hrs per week). Due to my personal circumstances (having a 6 months old baby and full time job) I did not have enough time to go through the official guide. My strategy was just to practice questions and learn from the solutions (only for the incorrect ones) and for that I extensively used the Scholaranium and the practice test ( I purchased the official tests as well),

For quant, when I gave the first official test, it became more or less clear that I needed to brush up the number systems and that's where I spent some time on (solving the number system questions) . Apart from that I didn't do much. I wonder if my quant score was a bit more only if I had spent more time on it. However, I made a point that every day I solved 2 questions each from different topics of quant such as geometry, algebra, numbers etc.

Verbal was the section I mostly concentrated upon (with whatever time I had). I solved almost all the questions on Scholaranium and solved it in practice test mode in order to keep time as well. My aim was to ace the sentence correction question as I thought these are the ones that can raise my score. Though , my final results say a different story. In my comprehensive test report, I realized that I aced the RC questions and my accuracy was 100% (Thanks to Scholaranium questions).

I cannot insist anymore that if one has got limited time then all they need to do is practice practice practice (obviously look at the solution of the incorrect ones)

I did not spend anytime on IRA (except while I was giving mock test). This is evident from my score of 5.
I did not spend any time on AWA (did not even practice during the mock tests) . While in the exam my sole aim was to find flaw in each line of the paragraph given and highlight it. I just followed a basic structure :
First paragraph mentioning that the argument is flawed and list down at least 3 reasons for it. Next 3 paragraphs were spent on expanding the reasons mentioned in the very first paragraph one by one. I made sure to mention that what else the author could have included to make the argument stronger. The final paragraph was just the conclusion that based on the reasons and the rationale above, it can be concluded that the argument is flawed.


Honestly, with my experience I would like to give whole credit to Scholaranium and the mock tests as they essentially helped me to get an alright score.

Hey WishuSinha,

Managing a 700 on the GMAT WITH a

- Full-time job
- 6 months old baby

IS JUST PHENOMENAL.
People can’t manage this even when they have neither at times. I cannot even imagine how you divided your time, but this is trial by fire for business school. Since you have managed this, business school might feel easier specifically for you.

I am glad you could use Scholaranium and learn from the question solutions. Not only do these solutions but these also tell how close you got to the actual answer –

We are so thankful that you took the time to write this review and I wish you luck with everything in the future.

Stay safe and positive.
