Strengths:

I finished with a 715 (V89, Q84, DI83) on my third attempt. The section that carried it, a V89, had been my lowest on the very first mock I ever took. But the thing I actually needed help with is something nobody warns you about: the high plateau. I was sitting at 675, every section looked fine on paper, and I could not tell where 40 more points were supposed to come from. My instinct was to redo the whole syllabus. e-GMAT's Personalized Study Plan talked me out of that. It takes your target and timeline and lays out what is actually worth your hours, so instead of restudying everything I walked in with a short list.

Would make the product better:

The real finding happened in Scholaranium, the practice bank whose analytics break your performance down by question type and difficulty instead of just by section. That is where my scorecard stopped flattering me. Hard Critical Reasoning looked healthy at 80 percent overall, but the inference questions inside it were at 50 while assumption, strengthen and weaken all sat at 90. So I stopped grinding CR in general and drilled inference on its own, training myself to work out what the passage actually guarantees before looking at the options. Closing that one block took my verbal from 84 to 89. Same story in quant. Hard Word Problems kept coming back weak, and reviewing the worked solutions showed me my setups were slow and roundabout. Once I redid the block with cleaner setups it climbed to 80 percent by late July. Multi Source Reasoning turned out to be my hidden DI leak, and the course's MSR sets, which are basically case study reading, pulled my hard reasoning accuracy to 90 and DI from 80 to 83.

What changed most, though, was judgment. I used to force answers on questions that were never worth the time. By the end I could tell within seconds whether a question was inside my range at that moment, and I let the rest go without ego. The Last Mile Push mentorship had a lot to do with that. My mentor, Shubham, went through my data with me and reframed every sitting as just another practice attempt, so I walked into the real exam calm instead of desperate. One honest note: the questions here run harder than the official ones, and that stings in the middle weeks. On test day it means the real paper reads a step easier. If you are somewhere between 650 and 685 with decent fundamentals and a nagging sense that your effort is going into the wrong places, this is the course I would point you to. It shows you the exact blocks that are costing you points, and lets you fix only those.
