Strengths:
Course content and structure, learning methodologies and processes like SC meaning-based approach or CR pre-thinking, personalized study plans and great analysis tools into sub-section abilities, and finally, their 1:1 support as part of the last mile program
I began preparing for the GMAT very late in the game for Round 2 applications this year and e-GMAT is the sole reason I was able to achieve my target (nay, dream) score. I would blindly recommend to anyone and everyone regardless of your starting level and here's why:
1) Course structure: with so many different resources to choose from online, not to mention the countless test-prep publishers, it can get a little overwhelming deciding what to study and that's where I really appreciated the e-GMAT modular course structure which has both breadth of everything you need to know and also depth (tons of practice questions and video lessons) in whichever areas you seek to improve
2) Course content: in my opinion, the learning content and unique approach to certain sections of the test has clearly been developed over years and is second to none. For example, the meaning-based approach to SC, pre-thinking in CR and the invaluable process skills in Quant
3) Quality of questions and analysis tools: I only covered about 25% of the total number of questions available on the platform and yet was able to expose myself to almost every little trick the GMAT test makers may use. Scholaranium 2.0 is awesome and after you guys are done with the learning modules, this should be where you spend most of your team and do most of your learning (and score improving!). Further, their analysis tools to judge your ability based on your performance in not just a subsection (say Algebra) but even more granular (like simplifying algebraic expressions or solving quadratic equations) and therefore you know where to improve your accuracy to achieve your target sectional (and sub-sectional) scores/ability
4) Last and perhaps the biggest reason for my to recommend e-GMAT is their hyper-personalized learning plans and the 1:1 support I received as part of the Last Mile Program. Rashmi was a not just a constant source of support and helped me maintain discipline, but also drafted my study plan personalized based on my initial mock test and then every few weeks into it would check in and make adjustments if needed. I felt the same level of motivation and commitment from the other e-GMAT mentors that I have interacted with and am positive that you all will be better-off for having their support.
Dear adidixit10,
This is what dreams are made of! Congratulations on the 770 with a massive 9-point verbal improvement to V47😊 What an achievement this is! It has been a pleasure working through the Last Mile Push program with you toward this target.
This mail from you captures the ecstasy that you must have felt seeing the score pop-up on the screen:

What stands out in the entire journey is your diligence towards the preparation and the willingness and determination to learn from every question that you solved.
You left no stone unturned. Recognizing that SC is one of your weaker areas in verbal, you set about learning all the concepts and applications. Once done with that you practiced on the scholaranium questions to build your ability. See how this structured approach helped you breeze through the hard cementing quizzes helping you improve to the 95th %ile ability in SC:

In CR, you were starting out at a higher ability. But when you recognized that the process that you were using wasn’t delivering consistent results, using the analytics on the platform you identified your weak areas and diligently fixed them. See how with this data-driven approach you were able to transform the ‘Assumption’ block in CR to one of your strengths:

As you have rightly mentioned, given the time constraints, you did not have time to practice a lot of questions. But you made every question count by spending substantial time reviewing the solutions and learning from them. This iterative approach of learning from your mistakes helped you improve to the top 1% in verbal.
Even in quants, you leveraged the feedback-driven system and were able to improve from a Q47 to a Q49 in a matter of one week. Congratulations on that😊
adidixit10, the qualities that you have displayed during your preparation are the ones that characterize a winner, and I am sure you will go on to achieve great things in your future.
I wish you all the best for your forthcoming interviews from all your dream b-schools.
Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
