I narrowed down on e-GMAT for my GMAT prep based on their fantastic reviews on GMAT club and having spoken to a few friends of mine who recommended it. I found the course very well structured. There is a well laid out path to get to a very good ability level in each section. I would say the course material (such as concept videos and quizzes) overall is very good, although it does take quite a bit of time to get through the whole course (that being said, there are ways to actually personalise the course material at various points based on your current abilities, which I thought was quite helpful).

The course feature that I was most impressed with is the Scholaranium. This is an extremely well designed platform which provides numerous questions within each section, along with amazing data analytics which, when used in the right way, can really help you improve your performance. The quality of the questions is really good. In my personal opinion, I felt that the difficulty level of many questions in the scholaranium is at par or sometimes even above the difficulty level on the actual exam. So I would suggest do not get disheartened if you don’t see yourself scoring very well on each test/quiz. Just trust the process and put in the effort consistently. The data analytics provided within the scholaranium platform is top notch! It goes into a great level of detail, so you can actually identify which specific area you are really faltering in and then work on that area. For me personally, these features really helped improve my abilities.

Overall, I am happy that I gave e-GMAT a shot and would happily suggest it to anyone who is starting their GMAT prep journey. The Verbal modules in particular are very good. Quant is also very good, although I used both e-GMAT and Target Test Prep (which has flexible one month plans) for my quant prep, so thanks to both of them! In the end, all I would say is that don’t just assume this course is a magic wand that will given you your target score (i.e. don’t assume just by completing the course material you can attain your target). A lot of it has to do with how diligent you are in tracking your progress, doing detailed (strategic) reviews of your errors and finding out where you went wrong, maintaining a detailed error log (I cannot stress the importance of this point just enough!), mastering time management and so on. The course will help you with almost all these aspects in one way or the other, but it is up to you how you make the best use of it.

Finally, thanks to the entire team behind e-GMAT (especially all the subject experts) for helping me get to my target score.

Getting a 90th percentile in Verbal requires diligence and dedication to you study plan. You did not just limit yourself to give quizzes on Scholaranium, but you also used the data analytics to identify your areas of weakness and then worked upon them. The results of which can be seen below in the image reflecting your Scholaranium statistics in Verbal hard questions –
