A journey from 495 to 715

Strengths:

The strengths include not just the numerous learning videos but also the PACE system that helps you pace up your prep by skipping over parts you are good at. The constant practice tests help you check your progress and identify weak areas.

Would make the product better:

Improvement can be achieved by practice but practice alone will not get the job done. One must identify his weaknesses and patiently understand the concepts to strengthen foundations. Once that is done, adapt to the timing of the test and mirror the test conditions.

My GMAT prep journey was made easy with the help of eGMAT and the wide variety of services on offer.
1) The Fundamentals: eGMAT does a fabulous job of building one’s fundamentals by providing videos on each subtopic for quant, verbal and DI. They also provided learning activities and practice tests for constant evaluation.
2) PACE Engine: The subtopics all have diagnostic quizzes which help skip past topics the user is familiar with. This saves valuable time and helps speed up the process.
3) Neuron: eGMAT provides “Neuron” which is a section which contains 100s of official guide questions with detailed solutions for each one of them. This helps in practice and it also sorts these out based on difficulty levels.
4) Scholaranium: This is probably my most used section. This allows the user to not only practice various different questions from the question bank but one can also attempt sectional mocks for also the test topics. This helps adapting to the timing of the test.
5) SIGMAX mock tests: These are mock tests which mirror the actual GMAT and also help in assessing the position of the individual. These are helpful as the official mocks are limited in number.
I used the service most for quant as I had to build strong foundations in quant concepts as my first diagnostic test revealed a quant score of 67. eGMAT helped me reach a Q90 from a meagre score of Q67, the concept building was superb. eGMAT also helps improving strategy for verbal by providing certain techniques one must use for improving accuracy.
Overall, my experience was excellent and it helped me go from a 495 to 715 in just 2 .5 months.
