Q&A

  • The Email Guide is a free, tailormade newsletter, which aims at proving you article summaries, answers to your GMAT™ queries, as well exclusive resources. The Email Guide will be sent weekly to you, providing you with support for the specific GMAT phase you are in.

  • The Mistake-Tracking Log is a studying tool, that helps you with the most important thing to improve: Never making the same mistake twice.

    It allows you to track all questions and mistakes you made and to analyze them automatically by day, week, or month.
    There are two versions. You receive the basic version when you sign up for the Email Guide.
    You can take a closer look at the full version here.

  • During my GMAT journey, I found that most quant questions can be quickly solved with simple tricks, allowing more time for reasoning-based problems.

    By saving 10–20 seconds on these trick questions, your overall score can improve significantly. This guide provides those essential tricks, designed for advanced learners looking to break through score plateaus.
    You can learn more about it here.

  • Reach out to me in the YouTube comments, via the Catalyst Materials LinkedIn, or here on the right via the website. If I don’t respond, I must not have seen it; just send another message via another channel.
    I respond to everyone.

  • First of all, I am not doing this to make a profit.
    The products I sell allow me to break even with the operational costs.
    The website is here to support my work on YouTube and to build a personal brand. And last but not least, it is also a nice way to show entrepreneurial proactiveness to future employers.
