My Transformative Journey with e-GMAT

Strengths:

- I really liked their focused approach: in the DI and Quant courses, instead of going through each and every detailed section, the PACE architecture allowed me to skip course material I was good at, while focusing on improving my weaknesses
- their approach of first doing the courses in which you need the most improvement (for me this was Quant and DI), and then engage into cementing, is the most efficient approach to actually learn from your mistakes and ensure you understand how to come to a solution as quickly as possible
- the video solutions on the Scholaranium platform are clear and to the point: in a few minutes they explain how to solve an exercise, every time with their stepwise approach (think about constraints, visualize, make inferences etc.)

Would make the product better:

- each webinar re-explains what their platform consists of and how it works, which is very useful in the beginning, but after a while it may be a bit repetitive for students who have already purchased an e-GMAT course and therefore know the process
- it could be an idea to design different webinars for the students who already subscribed (as opposed to those who just want a try-out webinar)

I recently had the pleasure of undertaking the e-GMAT course package to prepare for the GMAT, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. Initially, I purchased the course without a clear study plan, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. I just made exercises and looked at the solutions, without any perspective of where I was going or how I could improve. However, my journey took a positive turn when Payal, an e-GMAT instructor, reached out to me. Her guidance played a pivotal role in my success.

One of the standout features of e-GMAT is the personalized study plan, tailored to my specific needs and timeframe. With only 12 days until my GMAT exam, Payal meticulously outlined a daily plan that focused on my weaknesses and targeted areas for improvement. This level of personalized attention set the tone for my entire preparation. The study plan was well-balanced, and Payal well understood that I was willing to work very hard in the short time I had, but still also considered it important to rest and process everything I had learned.

The e-GMAT course encompasses a variety of specialized features, each contributing to a comprehensive and effective study experience. The PACE architecture in the quant course allowed me to efficiently navigate through the material, focusing on key areas that led to a significant improvement in my quant score from Q73 to Q83. The structured approach helped me avoid unnecessary content and concentrate on what was essential for achieving my goal.

As for the RC section, Payal encouraged me to analyze data and identify root causes of each passage, and spend more time reading a passage, as compared to my previous practice approach. This change in attitude proved instrumental in enhancing my performance in RC, showcasing the effectiveness of e-GMAT's methodical approach.

The course's emphasis on Data Interpretation through Scholaranium significantly boosted my confidence in this challenging section.

Test readiness was a crucial aspect of the last steps of my e-GMAT journey. After having followed the courses of Quant and DI with the PACE architecture, I had acquired the mindset needed to approach the GMAT confidently. The only thing that remained was build up my stamina and prepare for the actual exam. e-GMAT's error log was also really helpful in this, as it helped me recognize where I could improve my timing, as well as how to avoid stupid mistakes and identify questions that I was confident in and which not (and self-knowledge is very important during the GMAT prep).

In summary, my experience with e-GMAT was exceptional, and the results spoke for themselves—an impressive 60-point improvement in just 12 days. The personalized study plan, specialized features, and focused approach to weaknesses in quant, RC, and DI all contributed to my success. I highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone seeking a structured, personalized, and effective GMAT preparation course.
