Well Structured Contents and Practical Approaches

Strengths:

SC section is really good.
Scholaranium feature is also a very good practice portal.
All the contents are very well structured.

Would make the product better:

There are some improvement rooms for e-GMAT, and I will be honest about this.
1. Forum response: I found quite a number of "not so good" responses in the forum. I think the experts can do better in answering the students' queries.
2. The error log: I think the Scholaranium is a good tool, but it can be better if it has an error log built in. I think it is not a complex feature to build. Rather than having students documenting stuffs on excel sheets, having a built in or automated error log will help a lot.
3. For Quant part, it would be better if more application questions are illustrated explicitly.

I have been studying with e-GMAT for around 4 months before I got the latest 710 GMAT score.

I first took a mock test and got 650 score. After 2 months, I finished Verbal section and took my first GMAT test in Feb 23 and got 700. Then, I joined the Last Mile Push (LMP) program from e-GMAT and took another test in Apr 23 and got 710.

Before breaking down into each parts, my overall impressions to e-GMAT are:
1. The courses are well-structured. The content are taught in a good sequence. The topics are broken down in a good way, so I can see the big picture of what I need to learn and how important each topic is.
2. The forum posting/commenting in every questions or contents. When you have any doubts, you can always post in the forum and the experts will answer you in 1 day. I used this feature a lot and most of the time my doubt was clarified.
3. The Scholaranium portal is a very good and convenient tool. It is a question bank where you can do practice quizzes or mock tests on the platform itself. The platform collects the statistic and provide valuable insights regarding your performance. Your mentor can really see how you perform and provide on-point feedbacks.

My feedback towards Verbal:
1. SC is really great. The content are provided in the way that you can see how SC questions can be. The meaning-based approach is honestly a pretty simple but very powerful technique. The way of thinking e-GMAT that teaches you is very structured and practical.
2. For CR, the general conceptual knowledge about CR is well taught. The approach is practical as well. However, I think some logics from e-GMAT original questions are a bit off for a few questions. There is nothing as good as OG questions when it comes to CR part I think, but e-GMAT is doing quite okay for me though.
3. For RC, I think the reading strategy taught by e-GMAT works for me, but it might not work for everyone. The more you read and practice, the more you excel in RC. The reading strategy is just another way of cracking this type of question.

For Quant part:
1. I think the general knowledge are taught well. The concepts are quite strong in my opinion.
2. However, I think the content lacks application aspects a bit. There are a lot of question types in Quant. One topic, let's say divisibility, can be twisted into many many types of questions. Knowing the concept helps you to be able to solve the question, but mastering how to apply the concept helps you to be able to solve the question in time and in a easier manner.
3. The solution provided are sometimes not realistic and practical for GMAT exam.

Last Mile Push (LMP)
1. I think this program helped me a lot. You will be assigned a mentor who will plan things out for you, analyze your performances and come up with a corrective action, provide suggestions in terms of testing preparation, and talk to you over all other aspects of GMAT.
2. My mentor closely worked with me. She first planned out the schedule for me, but I failed it by getting a lot behind the plan. She then adjusted and tried to make the best alternatives for me according to the situation and limited time. In short, the mentor worked with me closely and kept adjusting things based on the real situation. It is always better to work with someone rather than to work alone towards the same goal.
