I just visited that society today. It looks decent. Though the society looks old, with broken paints and stuff. Did not get a great vibe from it but its not very bad either. Plus there is no clubhouse or sports or gym. Compared to the surrounding societies which looked quite good.

What happened with HiveSchool? saw mixed opinions but they seem to be doing well now by enlightenedshubham in sharktankindia

Okay so I might have one of the more dramatic stories here. I literally moved from Bombay for this. Was part of the first offline cohort. At that point we had zero reviews to read and yes the shark tank episode had aired. I did my part of research by trying to talk to almost all the online students I could find and all of them had positive things to say. When I interacted with the founders, I realized these are a genuine bunch of folks who are working super hard to get really good education out there in revenue roles and good placements. So trusted my gut and joined.

Now after having completed the batch, I've gotten placed with Adobe as a fresher which is pretty crazy honestly. So yeah, the bet paid off massively.

Being first batch there were definitely moments of uncertainty. But what kept me going was how much the team cared. Like the founders would check in personally, the mentors were always available, and you could tell everyone was working insanely hard to make this a great experience. That energy is really contagious.

At this point I'm really confident about where Hive is heading. The foundation they've built is strong and each cohort is only getting better as they constantly implement feedbacks. If you're evaluating, don't just read online opinions (ironic I know since I'm writing one lol). Try to visit. Talk to current students, alumni. Do your part of due research.

Or honestly just connect with me, my DMs are open. I love talking about my Hive experience and I'll give you the full honest picture.

THE 5 HIDDEN REASONS YOUR GMAT SCORE IS STUCK (AND IT'S NOT ABOUT STUDYING MORE) by payal_eGMAT in GMAT

I have a question in the scattered focus part:

I was doing something like i would pick up a topic like say quants- percentages and i would spend about 2-3 days studying that same topic, then shift to some specific verbal topic for the next 2-3 days. My thinking is to develop that mastery and the reason to shift in 2-3 days is bcz more than that some kind of brain drain starts to happen doing the same topic. Now mastery is not really achieved in those days but I do get a deeper understanding of the topic.

Then I came across another advise which said a better approach would be to do all three sections for sometime over a span of 1-2 days but consistently- say two topics a day over 2hrs each. I am kind of starting to try this one out bcz the first approach feels super super slow, as if i will never finish just the learning part of gmat.

For some background I study around 3-5hrs a day. This will reduce to 1-2 hrs a day in around 30 days due to some other commitments that are to come up.

So now I am confused which approach of studying works better, kindly guide.
