Course e-GMAT Online Intensive

After deciding to give the GMAT Exam in April 2022 , I decided to study through the OG and the material available on the internet . Though I was able to solve Quant questions but Verbal was giving me nightmares specially the under confidence in SC questions. In June 2022 , I attended free webinars on SC, CR and RC sections organised by e-GMAT and was impressed by its approach to the verbal section.

Finally, with less than 30 days of my GMAT exam date , I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared to give my shot at the GMAT EXAM . But the reality shook me hard when I gave the mock on the EGMAT platform and scored a mere 620 with Q48 and V27 . I was disheartened , and immediately seeked support of EGMAT team . They were very considerate and assigned me a mentor , who came as a saviour to me . My mentor Abha Mohan , helped me charting a structured approach of targeting my exam . She gave me a schedule , task list to be completed wherein every task had to be completed in sequence , no hopping over ( which was the mistake I was doing earlier in my self prep ) .
The Egmat approach to verbal Section is top notch . The ‘meaning based approach’ tremendously helps you in attempting the toughest of questions.
. The CR section emphasises the ‘pre-thinking’ approach. The RC section teaches you ways to effectively read a GMAT passage, focussing on the bigger picture without getting bogged down into the details . The EGMAT approach of RC helps you to understand the passage very well and saves you time from jumping back and forth to look into the passage for every question( mind you this approach helps save a lot of time) . It takes time to master it but once you do , RC becomes a lot less time consuming .

Another important part of EGMAT course are the cementing quizzes. The structured approach of attempting the cementing quizzes gradually progresses you towards to your targeted ability. The Sigma - X mocks match the actual GMAT exam to a very good extent .

In the end, I would like to highlight the importance of sticking to the process. Believe in the process taught in the modules and no matter what do not change your process while under pressure during the test.

The process helped me in achieving a major 11 point jump in verbal in just 25 days and I obtained a 700 Score ( q48 v38) in actual GMAT exam. A major 80 point jump to my mock score.

This would not have been possible without support and motivation of my mentor Abha Mohan . She had been a constant support through my journey , very quick in responding to my queries and resolving them .

I would also like to thank Rajat and Payal for the awesome Platform they have created and also the entire EGMAT team who work tirelessly to provide quality GMAT Prep to students worldwide.

Hi rajanmech09,

Abha from e-GMAT this side. 

Congratulations on your 700!

Your path to improvement from 620 to 700 in less than 25 days shows that with diligence, determination, and perseverance, nothing is impossible.

A 11-point improvement in Verbal from V27 (45th percentile) to V38 (84th percentile) is highly commendable. Your Verbal skills improved as you took the right steps to build your ability by learning the concepts and mastering processes across sub-sections by completing the cementing stage, here is an image showcasing your improvement from 51% to 78% (90th percentile) accuracy in SC questions using the meaning-based approach.

I am glad that the RC strategies helped you understand the passages and save time which in turn helped improve your accuracy. Here is an image below reflecting how you aced the RC approach and improved to 90% (96th percentile) accuracy in RC Hard questions.

Your journey is a great example to justify, I quote, “When you trust the process, you learn. When you learn, you score well. When you score well, you succeed! “ 

I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, would like to wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.

All the best!  

 Regards, 
Abha Mohan
