E-GMAT: Course review

I recently took my GMAT Classic exam and scored a 720 (Q49, V39, IR 6, AWA 6). My starting ability in the GMAT was somewhere around the ~500 level, hence a lot of effort went in to fix the basics!

Here's what I liked about the course:

1. The meaning based approach in SC makes it so easy to find errors in sentences in a structured manner. This helped me develop SC into one of my strongest areas in the GMAT.

2. The RC reading strategies helped me a lot in terms of managing time during the exam, helping me form linkages and reduce my dependence on taking notes.

3. Scholaranium is a game changer. It provides unparalleled insights into where is it that we need to focus our efforts. It provides sub section level analysis of our performance, making the entire prep structured and data driven.

4. Mentorship: I wrote to the E-GMAT team requesting their help on charting out a plan to improve my score further from a 700 that I had scored in my first attempt. I'd like to thank Rashmi, my mentor, for the prompt and consistent support in charting out the plans, assessing my performance and tweaking the plans accordingly. Her inputs helped me improve my score from a 700 to a 720. I was unable to translate my performances in the mocks and practice quizzes on the exam day, else I'd have scored much higher. Rashmi was very prompt, patient and supportive throughout the prep phase and I'm grateful to her for going out of the way to help me.

All in all, I'd recommend the E-GMAT course not only because of their teaching methods, but also because the module (Course, Scholaranium, Sigma mocks) is very user friendly and provides unparalleled insights to help students take data driven insights, which help in directing efforts towards the weaker areas.
