Mock tests level can be improved to make closer to official Mocks

I think like anyone I would go with a product that is recommended by a friend or family or someone I know can trust on, that's why I joined a GMAT test prep course from another company in June, 2024. I prepared with them but could score only 635 in my first attempt in Oct, 2024. Its not that that company didn't prove to be helpful but it is when I joined e-gmat (being inspired by the results they advertised and student's interviews on youtube) and started my prep again, I saw how much e-gmat is advanced in terms of the quality of course they have structured on their platform.

I purchased a self-paced online course whose features were well suited was as since I didn't want to attend any live or classroom sessions. I knew that I had to fill my gaps in verbal (conceptual gap) not cor and data insights (conceptual gap + in-sufficient practice) - which as per one of the egmat senior team member - Sharddha mam's walkthrough of egmat platform was being covered in the plan I was going to enroll to.

Once I got onboarded, a coach was assigned to me (Rashmi mam) and she guided me in my prep journey. A few things imp for anyone who is starting their prep or is in the process and are looking for tips:

- Be consistent in your prep
(Measure how much time you are spending each day in studying. It used to happen to me that I would feel I have spent about 4 hours a day which was my goal but actually one day when I used online browser clock to get the analysis, I was surprised to know that it was merely 2-.5 hrs. P.S: most my time in studying spent on online learning)

- Build error-log (I didn't like registering my mistakes, I was lazy and I felt I will remember it but all of that was oversight at my end. One fine day I realized this because I was making repetitive mistakes. That's when I thought to myself that let me prepare these error logs for only those areas that are weak for me - CR, MSR, TPA. Although RC was also a weak area for me but I don't think error log was that much required for it. And believe me, revising these error logs frequently helped me a lot. I used egmat's error log templates. Their CR error log template may look overwhelming but I customized it for me to see the question type, mistake made and action items)

- CR Prethink -
(marketed by egmat but pay attention "this is the way to go" if you want to score really good in CR. And note this just a name given by egmat but is not something alien. Open GMAT OG, look at their CR solutions, they too teach exactly the same process. Initially you'll take some time in solving questions but if you keep on practice, you'll see the wonders happening. (P.S.: I've seen even Ron Purewell solve these questions in very similar style))

- RC improvement - follow egmat's way of reading the passage and the best arsenal to get to correct ans is eliminate options instead of going after the right answer. (While reading the passage - think of a third person or author reading that piece of info to you. This will help you understand where author's view is coming into play, what is crucial info and what are just details. Transition words are super imp)

- DI - Practice as much as you can.
(In my first attemo I didn't practiced enough and that was a bug mistake. So, make sure you do and solve the question you got wrong, multiple times even if you feel you know the logic. Egmat helped with the DI section especially to me because it has plethora of questions and also the concepts file for verbal MSR, TPA did wonders for me)

- lastly but most important - believe in yourself and take blessings of GOD each day
(Surround yourself with people who motivates you, fill you with positivity and who care for you. I always had this belief that I'm capable but still on my bad days the doubt used to creep in me but talking to my family and friends, helped me immensely)

P.S. Pardon the flow of the above review and all sort of grammatical mistakes. I just wanted to spend some time to write a honest review of how I'm grateful for the egmat team and also through this inspire some of the students/candidates who are in their journey to prepare for GMAT. No matter what medium you choose to prepare, I wish you all the very best! I know you'll achieve your dreams sooner or later. Cheers!

Strengths:

*) Verbal: Both CR and RC cementing quizzes were similar to gmat
*) Quants covered all the topics

Would make the product better:

Full length GMAT FE mocks

During my first two attempts, I didn't use the platform extensively, using it for only two to three months, and even then, not consistently. Even with this limited use, I found the verbal questions in the practice and cementing quizzes similar to those on the actual GMAT Focus Edition. I had a bad day during my second attempt, with my score slipping from 615 to 545. After my second attempt, I opted for the Live Mentoring Program (LMP), where I was assigned a dedicated mentor, and increased my score from 565 to 645 (Q-87, V-83, DI-76) in 3.5 months. The improvement was sharp in Verbal, where I scored V-83. I would like to thank my mentor Rida for helping me to increase my verbal score through her targeted personal feedback. In the Quant section, I found the sectional tests very useful, where I was exposed to a large number of probelems cutting across sub-sections.
Overall, I found the platform pretty useful with carefully curated questions covering all the topics.

Strengths:

- Sniper precision of concept explanation in Quant, Verbal, and DI
- Great GMAT mock tests
- Lots of practice questions (trust me, there's more than enough to go around), all of which are similar to the actual GMAT test questions
- Dedicated real-life support (actual person, no bots) to help you plan your learning journey

Would make the product better:

- More GMAT mock tests! Can never have enough of those :)

Managed to boost my score from 565 (from the e GMAT mock test) to 655 (actual GMAT result) in just a span of 2 months. And that's with me being on and off, not being consistent with practicing every day.

Now imagine yourself with a 4-month time and actually studying every day. You'll score much better than me.

The course really helped with mastering the concepts (which is the most important part), has great practice questions, and the perk I liked the most, a very great mock test exam.

I basically RELIED 100% on this platform, and it works. No other supplements, yes, not even the official guide book.

Sounds crazy, but it works. Of course if you're aiming much higher say 685+ you would have to put in more time, but considering only 2 months (less if you count in terms of effective studying time), I couldn't have asked for more!

Strengths:

Verbal modules, practice questions covering all types and frameworks, and ways to approach the questions, were excellent. Prethinking was a game changer.
For quant, the PACE system was useful in saving time, with its suggestion to skip already strong topics and work on unfamiliar topics.
DI was very comprehensive, covering all types of topics.
Cementing quizzes, scholaranium, and mocks were excellent for practice.

Would make the product better:

In verbal, some RC modules seemed old. The content was good, but the interface (PPT type) seemed outdated and slow.

The preparation material provided a complete, all-rounded learning experience.

For Verbal, the modules were exceptionally well-designed, covering all question types and frameworks in detail. The strategies for approaching questions, especially prethinking, proved to be a game changer in boosting accuracy and confidence.

In Quant, the PACE system was particularly useful in optimizing study time. By identifying and allowing me to skip already strong topics, it enabled focused learning on unfamiliar areas, resulting in significant improvements.

The Data Interpretation (DI) section was equally comprehensive, thoroughly covering all relevant topics and equipping me with the necessary tools to tackle complex problems.

Finally, the cementing quizzes, Scholaranium, and mock tests were invaluable for practice. These tools not only reinforced concepts but also simulated real exam conditions, ensuring readiness and boosting confidence.

Overall, the combination of well-structured content and effective practice tools made the preparation journey both efficient and rewarding.

Strengths:

1. Structured coursework with emphasis on developing processes. E.g. pre-thinking in Verbal, translation of problem statements into equations across Quant and Data Insights.

2. Milestone based approach to help candidates to develop their skills and processes and use "Cementing" to solidify them. This ensures measurable progress while keeping the candidate motivated and focused on improvement areas.

3. Rich variety of questions similar to those in GMAT enabling thorough preparation.

4. Self-paced and interactive course content

5. Availability of an experienced mentor to provide direct and honest feedback

Would make the product better:

1. If possible simplify or streamline the error log process. While the intent is absolutely relevant, the process can be a little heavy for someone on a short timeline like in my case.

Hello GMAT Club community!

I’m excited to share my GMAT journey, culminating in a score of 685 (Q88, V83, D81), achieved through focused effort over 4 months and strategic guidance from e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returning to academics after nearly two decades, I identified GMAT as the gateway to my aspirations. Initially, I joined a classroom-based coaching institute to re-establish a study routine. While Quant was my strength, I struggled with Verbal and Data Insights.
My initial strategy relied on strong Quant scores to compensate for weaknesses in other sections. However, a bad day in Quant revealed the limitations of this approach, as my composite score plateaued at 655 with significant risk of going downward depending on Quant performance. I realized I needed to improve Verbal (from V81) and Data Insights (from D76) to achieve my target.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turning Point: e-GMAT’s Last Mile Push (LMP) Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In December 2024, I joined e-GMAT’s LMP program, with Rashmi as my mentor. She customized a focused 4-week plan. This plan was a game-changer, leading to at least 30-point score improvement in composite score on the back of 2-3 point improvement in Verbal Scaled score and upto 5 point improvement in DI Scaled score!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Contributions of e-GMAT’s LMP Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Verbal Reasoning Mastery
The structured coursework emphasized clear processes, particularly in Critical Reasoning (CR), where I struggled.
The pre-thinking approach and “Cementing” phase stabilized my Verbal scores at V83, boosting both confidence and predictability through a very data driven process.

2. Data Insights Improvement
e-GMAT’s resources helped me manage time and tackle diverse question types like MSRs, graphs, and tables.
Translating statements into equations for Data Sufficiency and Two-Part Analysis became second nature.

3. Mindset and Strategy
Rashmi’s honest feedback helped me prioritize pacing, avoid getting stuck on tough questions and focus on improvement areas.
My perspective on MSRs transformed from avoidance to confident tackling, thanks to her guidance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips for GMAT Aspirants
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Build trust in structured processes, own them and stick to them on test day.
2. Practice consistently and challenge yourself with hard problems.
3. Focus on refining strategy and mental preparation in the final week.
4. Stay motivated, seek help when needed, and embrace course corrections. Remember in a long journey, there will be ups and downs.
5. Manage your time effectively and don’t dwell on questions that you are not able to tackle. Just move on.
6. Stay calm on test day, adapt to surprises, and treat each section afresh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Takeaway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e-GMAT’s methodical approach, combined with Rashmi’s mentorship, was instrumental in my success. Their focus on data-driven improvement and strategic preparation gave me the confidence and skills to achieve my goal.
Good luck to all GMAT aspirants—stay focused and trust the process!

Preparing for GMAT can be frustrating but what makes it even more frustrating is the decision to select a course provider given numerous options in the market. E-GMAT stands out in this list of options for a variety of reasons. One of the best features I found on GMAT is the cementing mechanism which helps one drill the concepts learnt while applying them to actual questions for each topic which can be specifically beneficial if you already have foundations built and are looking to improve your score. Also the sectional tests and the actual mocks on e-gmat resonate with the actual test you will face on your exam date. Another important feature is that for each quiz or test you take you can customize it with difficulty levels of questions you want to attempt. This helps you build consistency by attempting a particular difficulty level which is crucial for securing a high score.
I used the e-gmat product for only 20 days during my journey to improve my score by 60 points to a 695 in focus edition. The last mile push program was pivotal in helping me identify my weaknesses and fill crucial skill gaps required for a high score.

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

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.
