e-GMAT LMP Program Review

Strengths:

1. Elaborate and well-structured curriculum.
2. Scholaranium platform with a vast pool of high-quality questions comprising various difficulty levels.
3. 24x7 instructor and dedicated mentor support.

Would make the product better:

Some explanations are ambiguous and sometimes contradictory, which may confuse students. So, the explanations could be framed with better clarity.

Hi, I’m Abhrajit Ghosh, and this is my second attempt at the GMAT Focus Edition, which I took on 9th January 2025 and achieved a score of 695 (98th %ile). I have been studying for the GMAT for four years now. On my first attempt, I got a 645 on my own just using the OG material and free resources available on GMAT Club. But now when I look back, I realize that a 50-point improvement would not have been possible without dedicated guidance and a proper strategy. That’s where e-GMAT came into the picture.
After getting a 645, I continued working on my weak areas for another 2 months, after which I decided to try out the first sigma-x mock by e-GMAT. Based on my performance, I got enrolled in their Last Mile Push program, which proved to be the game changer. I was assigned a dedicated mentor from the very first day. She charted a detailed, customized study plan that included weekly milestones, provided in-depth analysis of my Scholaranium mocks in one-on-one meetings, and suggested ways to overcome my weaknesses. And most importantly, she always encouraged me to stay optimistic and have self-belief in the crunch moments. Practice makes you perfect, but e-GMAT showed me that not just practice but perfect practice helps achieve perfection.

The 3 most pivotal areas where e-GMAT helped me are as follows:
1. The curriculum is strategically designed to introduce basic topics that would act as the building blocks for the more complex and advanced topics, thus making it easier to navigate through the entire course. I have always been good at quant, so I was able to utilize their PACE learning option, which helped me filter out just the content I needed improvement on. The verbal course helped me fill in my conceptual gaps, and the video explanations enabled me to better visualize and apply the POE approach when I was left with the two closest answer choices. The data insights course helped me read the DI questions better to get an accurate understanding of what has been mentioned and what exactly the question is asking. So, even though this section is highly time-consuming, I was able to implement the strategies and some intuition while solving the questions, which helped me keep track of time.
2. Scholaranium has a vast pool of questions to practice from, starting from topic-wise cementing quizzes to sectional mocks to full-length sigma-x mocks. It provided me with a thorough analysis of my performance across the sections (from accuracy to timing), which helped me instantly pinpoint the areas I need to work on to improve my accuracy as well as bring down the time taken per question.
3. During the end of the preparation, I was able to revise and reflect on my mistakes with the help of custom quizzes that contained previously attempted incorrect questions. As a result, I was completely prepared on the DOs and DONTS for the actual exam.

A few tips I would like to share with future GMAT aspirants.
1. The Quant Section is generally harder in the actual exam than in the official mocks, so don't solely rely on the quality of questions you encounter in the official mocks. Practice harder questions so that you don't panic in the actual exam environment.
2. Practice the art of letting go. Don't beat yourself up; let the exam beat you. Learn to let go of the harder questions when you feel you have taken more than the time you should have taken to solve it. You can always come back and change the answer. That's one of the perks of GMAT Focus.
3. Time management is extremely important. Note down certain time intervals on your work pad so that you can check whether you are lagging or you're on pace with the allotted time.
4. Practice the mocks in different section orders to figure out the order that brings out your optimal performance. My 645 attempt was (V-Q-DI) whereas my 695 attempt was (Q-DI-V).
5. Official mocks 3 to 6 are harder than the first 2 free mocks. So they will provide you with a better indication of what your performance on the actual exam may look like. So use them very carefully.
