| All Reviews > [Tests] e-GMAT Scholaranium Reviews |
e-GMAT has been my companion through out my GMAT journey. As a typical engineering graduate, my strongest part always is quant and verbal is my Achilles' heel. I attended some class room courses but I did not find any help. Their teaching was not from basics and was at very high level or superficial. I was at the same level at the end of the classes as I was at the beginning. That is when I researched on gmat club and found many reviews for e-GMAT as best course for non-natives.
I thought of giving a try and started with their sample videos and scholaranium. I liked the way they turned verbal like quant. Every concept was broken into smaller and easily digestible chunks which is very helpful for working professionals. I immediately bought online course.
Once I finished the course, I started with scholaranium which is a huge pool of questions. Apart from the explanations, the stats are so good that you can track your performance, right after the each test. Sophisticated stats gives snapshot of week and strong areas. That helped me concentrate more on my week areas. Explanations are exceptional where they touch minute detail and if something is not clear, forum support is very good.
I have my GMAT on 31st July. Hope this preparation helps me achieve my dream score. Finally, e-GMAT scholaranium is worth every penny!!
730 (Q50, V38)
7 was not my favorite number until I thought of writing GMAT. I was very skeptic about my success in the journey, because I grew up in an environment where English was scarce as a language. Moreover, I was not an avid reader, and I had least interest in reading novels or periodicals. Having said so, Verbal part was always a nightmare for me. Apart from this, I was also average in quant, but I knew I could improve in quant with practice, which will tune me to avoid calculation and conceptual mistakes.
It was my second attempt (14.01.2018) in which I scored 730. In my first attempt (31.10.2017) I scored 700 (Q50, V35). I knew that 700 is a decent score, but it’s prudent try for higher score if you feel there is some room for improvement.
While preparing for the test, even after seeing the explanations several times, I still had a lot of doubts on SCs. Then, I came to know about “EGMAT” from gmatclub. I got some pdf files of Egmat on SC topics, and after going through the notes, I could clear all my doubts pertaining to SC. I really appreciate Egmat for so clear explanation of concepts and the approach to solve 700+ Sc questions. I don’t think I could have got a better guidance related to SC from any other source than Egmat. One important thing to note is that SC is the only part in Verbal in which you can achieve maximum improvement. So, before my second attempt I purchased Verbal Scholarium from Egmat, because I had exhausted all my sources of practice and a time bound practice can give me the jump I require in Verbal. The Egmat Scholarium is really nice for practicing to avoid similar mistakes and improve your pace. The major problem I was facing in Verbal was timing. Practicing from different sources I could somewhat improve my pacing, but not up to the level required by GMAT. The question levels simulate well with the question levels of real GMAT and practicing these tests, I could not only improve my speed further, but also focus on the similar mistakes I used to commit because of traps in GMAT questions.
Good luck,
Sandip
The verbal Scholaranium is one of the best resources available for gmat club. The scholaranium is a huge question bank with lots of questions. Infact you can create your own tests set your own time though they give an approx indication of the time limit for that many number of questions. The questions are divided into hard , medium and easy. Hard questions are challenging and are a must for someone targeting a high score of 40+. Egmat made me score a 40 and also the explanation provided is super amazing. There will always be someone to answer your queries and clear all your doubts. Karishma will always help you with your doubts. The sentence correction is the best part of egmat verbal scholaranium and is a must for non native speakers

I will highly recommend Quant and Verbal Scholaranium for GMAT applicants. it helped me o get prospective regarding approaching each questions. in GMAT I feel accuracy over timeliness are both important . Easiest to achieve both is to follow step by step approach in each section of GMAT.Scholaranium is one stop solution for that. each question in Scholaranium tests you and also helps you in building solid understanding of problem and ways to get to solution. I again thank E-gmat and question makers for creating wonderful course. Thank you and keep up the good work. Thanks - Devdatta C joshi
I gave my first GMAT in Dec16 and scored 620 with a verbal score od 24 which was very disappointing. After asking my seniors, I got the advice of enrolling for E-gmat verbal online course. Verbal Scholaranium was a part of this course fortunately.
The verbal Scholaranium is a tool which lets you customize your tests in terms of type of question (SC/CR/RC), number of questions and the difficulty level of questions.
After I was confident with my verbal prep, I started using Verbal Scholaranium and I realized I still need to improve in some areas.
You can have mix of everything (type, number of Qs and difficulty) or totally specific ( e.g. 30 SC hard questions).
The database of the questions is huge and they do not get repeated. In fact they have a separate option if we want to repeat the questions.
After practicing extensively on scholaranium, I gave my GMAT in Aug 17 and scored 94 percentile (V41).
I believe it's a very good test for those who are getting consistent bad scores in verbal.
This is an excellent instrument to improve your quant skills. The tasks are challenging and really hard. I would assume that the tasks are of a 700+ level. I was using it mainly for polishing my skills after completion of general course and using OG. It is very structured and very convenient if one wants to understand where is the weakest spots in his/her preparation. You could track your performance with the detailed break down by different types of skills required. My abilities have improved substantially (at least 5 points on a quant section). I would advise to go through e-GMAT quant preparation and then practice with Scholaranium.
I got an exclusive 20 day trial of e-GMAT's Quant Scholaranium platform and I had the opportunity of solving nearly 170 of the 300 quant word problems. After solving more than a 100 questions, I was hooked! The questions varying in difficulty from Easy to Very Hard, allowed me to make my own customized quizzes. Not only can you decide the time limit but also the number of questions and their difficulty level. Furthermore, you can even select the sub type of the questions for each given Quant section which is a brilliant feature. This was extremely helpful in the areas where I needed improvement. Once you are done with a quiz you get a dynamic ability report which tells you which are your weak and strong areas respectively. The Quant Scholaranium helped me augment my quantitative skills and was a major factor in my decision to upgrade to the full online quant course (which I got for a special offer of just 100 bucks!). The video tutorials along with the quant quizzes have brought my ability up from a 55% to nearly a 90%! I feel much more confident for my upcoming GMAT exam which is in 3 weeks.
I have also exhausted all the free trial Verbal Scholaranium questions (nearly 130 in number) and I have to say some of the RC and CR questions were brilliant. I realized some weak areas for which I took special care and now I am in a better place with my verbal ability. All in all, the Scholaranium is a highly detailed and meticulously designed tool.
If I had to rate it I would rate Quant Scholaranium a 10/10 and the Verbal Scholaranium a 9/10! Minus 1 for the Verbal platform just because I needed more free practice questions :D
I had the opportunity to access the complete Quant Scholaranium on the e-GMAT platform while preparing for my GMAT exam very recently and it was thoroughly useful for all my quant preparation purposes. I had been working for a few years and i was completely cutoff from academics for the entire length of my professional career. So it was overwhelming for me to even think about preparing for any competitive exams. Quant was a relatively stronger suit for me since i was working in the analytics industry and the quant Scholaranium helped me ease into the preparation process with lots of different timing and mix of questions options that were available there. The thorough explanations along with almost real time answers to any doubts i had by the experts at e-gmat really helped in building my concepts and dispel any doubts regarding theory or process of solving a problem that i had. The frequent webinars on selected important topics also served to highlight the kind and level of questions that can be expected on the paper and the best ways to solve them. Using all these tools i finally managed to score a 50 on the quant section with about two months of preparation. Thanks e-gmat and thanks Rajat.
When I began studying for the GMAT, the quants section was pretty easy for me, but I was in desperate need of help for the Verbal section. At first, I was skeptical of signing up for any course, so i consulted with some of my friends who took the test couple months back, aggregated data from around the web, and decided to go for e-GMAT. They have really made the course easy-to-understand with a very smooth transition from one module to another.
The best thing i loved about the e-GMAT course was the Scholaranium. Undoubtedly the level of questions were well distributed, with more or less equal stress on all the modules. And within days, i was able to see a good progress in my mocks with approx +5 questions in Verbal. Undoubtedly they have one of the best collection of questions available and the user-friendly dashboard helped a lot to focus on my weakness. Overall, a great source to push the Verbal score.
My verbal score is V34. I used the Scholaranium platform only to take some quizzes because i didnt have enough time to practise harder. The verbal scholaranium is a great place to practise and analyze your self. Its a great to tool to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses. I think it's the only platform out there to give such detailed information of your sectional performance for every question type (difficulty level, average time for each level..and many more..) . You can use this tool if you had the Egmat course (the best combination ) or even if you used another course and you now want to diagnose or practise. Their explanations are very detailed and after each question you will be 100 % sure why a choice is right or wrong and this certainty is not provided by any other product or team. Their questions are exam style and they are designed to imitate the real test. They wont take you far from what the gmat asks. If fact, they must have been based on similar templates. The egmat team has used the OG to see what is tested and then made sure their students know what is needed to be learnt. All in all, great product, very good and detailed work use it dillignetly to receive a high score.
