About Us

We build systems for people
who show up every day.

GRADSCALE exists because knowledge was never the bottleneck for most aspirants — consistency was. We build the structure that makes daily execution the default, not the exception.

GRADSCALE was built by GRADSKOOL Learning, an Indian education company focused on competitive exam preparation and mentorship. Across years of teaching and mentoring thousands of CAT, IPMAT and XAT aspirants, one pattern kept repeating — students didn't fail because they lacked access to material or explanations. They fell off because preparation had no structure to hold them accountable, day after day.

Coaching gives you content. PDFs and YouTube give you more content. What none of it gives you is a forcing function — a reason to open your laptop on a Tuesday evening when you're tired and the exam still feels six months away.

So we built one. GRADSCALE turns preparation into a daily routine: a fixed, section-wise drill every day — VARC, DILR, QA — timed, scored and reviewed, with analytics that show exactly where you're improving and where you're stuck. No decisions to make about what to study. Just show up and execute.

What We Believe

Three ideas behind
everything we build.

🎯

Consistency beats intensity

A 30-minute drill every single day compounds further than an occasional 6-hour cramming session. We design for the former.

📊

Measure, don't guess

Every attempt feeds analytics on accuracy, time and weak topics — so your next decision is based on data, not a feeling.

🛠️

Execution over content

We're not trying to replace your coaching or your books. We're the system that makes sure you actually use them every day.

The Founder

Built by someone who's
taught the classroom, not just the syllabus.

Abhishek has spent years teaching and mentoring competitive exam aspirants across VARC, DILR, QA and reasoning — sitting close enough to thousands of students to see exactly where preparation breaks down.

GRADSCALE is the product of that experience: a platform built not around what's easy to sell, but around what actually moves a student's score — daily, structured, measured practice.

"Consistency compounds faster than intensity.
Build the system. Trust the process."

Yes. GRADSCALE has a free plan with access to daily drills, streaks, and basic analytics. Pro unlocks full analytics, mock mode, PYQ practice, and priority support.
CAT 2026, IPMAT, and XAT are live. GMAT, GRE, SNAP, NMAT, JEE, NEET, SSC, Banking and more are coming soon.
No. GRADSCALE is designed to complement coaching — or work standalone. You bring the intent, GRADSCALE brings the structure and accountability.
Every day you get 3 drills — one each for VARC, DILR, and QA — with a time limit. Complete all 3 to maintain your streak.
Attempt all 3 drills together as a single timed exam — VARC → DILR → QA with section locks, exactly like the real CAT pattern.
Each drill can be attempted once — individually or as part of a mock, not both. This keeps your analytics clean and honest.
Yes. Both MCQ and TITA (Type In The Answer) questions are supported. TITA questions have no negative marking and include an on-screen keyboard when enabled.
PYQs are actual previous year question papers. You can attempt them as full papers, section-wise, or topic-wise — with per-attempt analytics and bookmarks.
Smart Mix randomises questions across multiple years for a topic, so you're not just practising one year's pattern. It gives you a broader, more realistic workout.
Prep Tools are focused skill resources — RC 111 passage bank, GRE Vocab Forge, CAT QA Formula Bank, MBA GK Flashcards and more. Launching soon.
A streak counts consecutive days you've completed all 3 daily drills. Miss one day and it resets to zero. It's designed to build the habit of daily execution.
Section-wise accuracy, time per question, weak topic identification, weekly performance trends, PYQ attempt history, and your streak calendar.
Yes. The leaderboard shows daily and all-time streak rankings. You can see where you stand among all active aspirants on the platform.
