Is Edurev a good option for GMAT preparation?

Question

Does it cover all the concepts for GMAT? If so I can use it to learn concepts and then I can work on advanced stages using GMAT club. I need to do the prep along with my job.
Has anyone used Edurev?How do you review that?

The name above is kind of unknown to most people, I suppose. Going through a well-known material, such as Manhattan Prep, TTP, E-GMAT, will save you money and time. How and where did you know about Edurev?

Hi smary,

It sounds as though you're just starting out your studies. Is that true? Have you done any studying so far?

If you're just beginning, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can access 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

smary - Edurev is not a prep resource. They merely aggregate information from the web and create an offering, and do so without the consent of original authors. Here is what they say in their terms and conditions page: https://edurev.in/termsandconditions I would recommend that you take a look at GMAT prep partners on GMAT Club or at any other credible GMAT preparation site. https://gmatclub.com/reviews/gmat_courses/?fl=menu Cheers!!

Hi smary,

I understand that finding the right balance between your work and studies can be a great challenge. And also choosing the right course for you is another challenge because of the availability of number of courses online. Let me help you in choosing the right course which can not only help you strike the balance of your work and job but also does that effectively.

The  best way to select  the course is to  check the free trial  of the course and then decide whether it is suitable for you or not. There are plenty of online courses available and in your case as you have narrowed down one, I recommend you to check the free trial of that and then decide. But before deciding, make sure to focus on the right parameters to evaluate the course.
I’m also sharing a link of a blog regarding “ The key factors to consider while evaluating the right course ”. You can read through it to understand how to evaluate any course.

But as you are a working professional, I think a  course offering a study plan would be the most suitable  one for you. Most working professionals struggle to dedicate a particular slot in a day for studies. They become lethargic and feel like they can compensate the lost hours on weekends. Procrastinating is a bad habit. You won’t realize how it affects your learning initially, but in the end (probably in the last 30 days before GMAT), you will realize how much stuff you have left to do and how little time is left. Most students end up entering the fire-fighting mode and eventually end up missing their goal.

What is the best way to do it? 
Now you must be wondering how do I motivate myself to study every day. It’s really simple.  Having a proper study plan  will help you do it. Having said that, many students organize the topics and make a plan but eventually don’t follow it. Can you guess what’s the reason for it? Not having proper deadlines! Having a proper deadline will motivate you to finish the task under a stipulated time. Having said that, a  person who can dedicate 5 hours a day cannot have the same deadline as a person who can dedicate only 3 hours a day . As most students are working professionals, and are at different positions, the number of hours they can dedicate is not the same. So, a generic plan would not suffice. Then what is the solution?

The solution is a personalized study plan! 
Sounds good but what does it actually mean? A personalized study plan is something  which takes into account the number of hours a person can dedicate in a week and the approximate deadlines and then creates weekly tasks based on that . For example, a person who can dedicate 20 hours a week and plans to appear for the test in 3 months has to have different weekly tasks compared to a person who can dedicate 40 hours a week and plans to appear in 45 days. This will help students stay motivated right till the end because they have weekly deadlines to meet. Students can focus on just finishing the tasks scheduled for the day and take care of their office work.

So, I recommend you to primarily focus on this parameter while choosing an online course. If you are open to suggestions, I would like you to take a check at the course of GMATWhiz.

It is one unique course which offers you the best quality content and employs an artificial intelligence driven learning. 
 It offers you a personalized study plan which is integrated with the course. This way you can happily focus on preparation. You just have to click the start button and everything else is taken care by the course. By everything, I mean the organization of concepts, weekly tasks. It’s still your duty to finish them. 
 The concept booster and practice quizzes after every concept video help you solve GMAT like questions using the right methodology.  
 It offers you real time improvement modules so that you can work on your weaker areas right away.

There are many more exciting features offered by the course. I would recommend you to check the free trial of GMATWhiz before taking the decision. Hope it helped!
