REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I started my GMAT preparation in May 2022. After reviewing a few of the online courses and after consulting with my seniors who have aced GMAT before, I enrolled for the 4-month course at E-GMAT on 5 May 2022. I gave my 1st Sigma-X Mock Test and scored a 700 (Q-47, V-38).
I was quite elated with the score and thought that a little practice in verbal will help me improve my score to 720+.
I prepared a Personalised Study plan in the E-GMAT portal with the aim to complete the course within 1.5 months. I was supposed to study for 2 hrs on weekdays and 4/5 hrs on weekends
However, working in an essential service sector has its own problems. With extended work hours and extra duties, I could not dedicate more than 1 hr to preparation in the initial days and I could complete much less than I planned in the 1st one month.
I realised that only studying at night after returning from office will not help me. Hence, I decided to study for 1 hour in the morning before going to office and study for 1 hr after returning. I realised that this was a much more effective technique.
The Verbal module at E-GMAT is very structured and concept-wise exhaustive. I followed the recommended study plan for the entire verbal module. It was quite effective and I would suggest everyone to follow the recommended path and not jump around among the topics.
The path I followed was Master Comprehension, Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, and then Reading comprehension. What’s important is to complete and solidify the concepts of each Topic before moving to the next one. Hence after completing the concept files, application files, and practice files, complete the cementing quizzes (1 Medium and 2 Hard) before moving to the next topic.
The techniques taught for Verbal at E- GMAT such as Pause points for comprehension, Pre-thinking for Critical Reasoning, and Meaning-based approach for Sentence correction really help to ace the verbal questions irrespective of the difficulty levels.
Since I scored high in quants in my 1st mock and being from an engineering background, I thought quants will be quite easy for me. However, soon I realised that being out of touch with Maths for around 6 yrs has impacted the agility and confidence with which I used to solve math problems. I realised that there were some concepts that require some policing. The PACE system in Quants helped me in this regard. From my performance in the initial evaluation quizzes for each topic, it identified the modules that I can skip and those I have to go through. This saved a lot of time. The difficulty level of harder quant problems at E- GMAT was a bit more than the actual test. Hence it helps us prepare better for the actual tests.
I took the other Sigma-X Mock Tests and scored 670-720. However, in the official mocks I scored 740 & 750.
It took my 1st official GMAT test and scored 700 (Q 46, V 40).
I was a bit disappointed with the result, considering the high scores I got in the Official Mocks.
I approached E-GMAT for guidance and they inducted me in their Last Mile Program (LMP) program. Mrs. Abha Mohan, one of their experts, made a thorough analysis of my ESR report and prepared a customised plan for me with milestones and timelines, and guided me through my journey. She guided me to identify the areas I have scope for improvement and advised me the topics that I should revise and even provided additional study materials. She prepared customised exam plans and even gave me mental support during times I got panicky and worked up during the preparation time. The entire E-GMAT team was also kind enough to provide me free access to the entire portal for around 2 weeks during my last leg of preparation.
I gave my second GMAT test on 20 November 2022 and scored a 740 (Q51, V38).
I owe my success to the entire team of E-GMAT. Without their support, this wouldn’t have been possible.
I enrolled for eGMAT when I was in a need of structured content for verbal, specially, for sentence correction. eGMAT’s learning content was not just limited to the theoretical concepts but it focussed majorly on the application of concepts and this approach helped me to solve SC questions confidently. The approach to solve RC passage questions is also very effective and helps to save a lot of time in the hard passages & eliminate the wrong answer choices.
I gave my first attempt just after recovering from COVID & hence, I could sense that it was not a good attempt. Just after my first attempt, I was introduced to the last mile program. It was because of the extensive study plans and the cementing quizzes that I was able to gain confidence in verbal & improve my accuracy in hard questions as well.
After two attempts in a span of 4 months, getting a V39 in my third attempt with score of 690 (V39 Q47) gave me a sigh of relief as I was able to improve my score in verbal from V29 to V39 solely because of the mentorship received in LMP along with the eGMAT content. Improving my quant score wasn’t a challenge but certainly a task to complete.
While preparing for my fourth attempt, my strategy expert, Akash was very supportive and he even replied to my late-night emails on holidays too! He not only guided me on time management, but also focussed on small external things which might affect my performance and he ensured that I am well accustomed to that environment by replicating the same during my mocks. On the exam day, I was extremely elated to see a score of 710 (V36, Q49) and I knew that it would not have been possible without Akash & eGMAT team’s guidance & program.
Here are my takeaways from e-GMAT’s course:
1. Massive improvement in verbal concepts and skills. e-GMAT’s meaning based approach helped me to strengthen the concepts as well as the application of these concepts in a timed environment.
2. High focus on quizzes– I was able to solve 700+ level questions in verbal because of the consistent practice of questions on eGMAT that tested each & every concept.
3. Last Mile Program – The strategies & last-minute tips that Akash provided ensured that I remained calm and confident during my final attempt.
Dear DivyaSharma26,
Congratulations on your score of 710 with a remarkable Q49 and a V36! With this, you have crossed the 90th percentile mark in the GMAT exam.
If I have to give an example of someone never giving up, it will have to be yours. You never gave up or felt exhausted during your four GMAT attempts because of your diligence and hardwork. The processes became second nature to you because you internalized them through continuous efforts. The image below shows how you were able to raise your ability in RC hard questions from 65% accuracy to 90% accuracy by practicing reading exercises on a regular basis –
https://success.e-gmat.com/DivyaSharma26-RC-Improvement-Statistics
You maintained your diligence and perseverance through all Verbal subsections, allowing you to reach your GMAT score in a very predictable manner. The below image shows your statistics across the three subsections in Verbal in hard questions. These statistics show the consistency through which you got that V36 (79th percentile).
https://success.e-gmat.com/DivyaSharma26-Verbal-Scholaranium-Statistics
With your commitment, you improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the real GMAT exam predictable. It was only a matter of time before you could replicate the same in your actual GMAT exam. The image below shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam –

I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination.
I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

I would rate this course the best that I have come across during my preparation for gmat. It goes completely to the credit of this course content that I could score a 720 ( q50, v38). The verbal content has been put out beautifully and the strategies suggested by the course can totally be relied upon. The SC module of the course was my personal favourite in the course. The best part is one need not look outside for any other material as this is all encompassing. Just follow the process and you would be great. The mentorship provided by the course is also very good wherein the response is quick and direction is right. I was assigned akshay agarwal, who guided me through the process and made it a smooth ride. Also the sigma c micks have been accurately designed to predict where actually you stand and the analytics can be utilized effectively concentrate in the right direction. Once again, a highly recommended course for someone aspiring above 700.
Dear sumitgmat21,
Congratulations on your score of 720 with a remarkable Q50 and a V38! Becoming a part of the top 6 percentile of all the GMAT test takers is a commendable accomplishment.
Scoring a V38 in Verbal is not an easy feat to achieve. It is possible only when you embrace the processes and let them become second nature to you. And I am glad you did exactly that. The image below shows how you improved your ability in SC from 45% accuracy to 75% accuracy in hard questions due to your hardwork and dedication.
https://success.e-gmat.com/sumitgmat21-SC-Improvement-Statistics
You did not stop yourself right there. You gave this effort in all the subsections in Verbal. Because of this consistency, you got that V38 (84th percentile). Even during your mocks, you were consistent and kept on improving with each mock by learning from your mistakes in every mock.
I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination.
I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

Akash
I enrolled with e-GMAT the day after I saw 640 (V34 Q44) on my in my first official mock in May 2022 . I hadn't prepared for the mock but I had gone through video lessons from an Indian GMAT prep company called Career Launcher. I was far from target score of 740+ and I didn't think Career Launcher notes would be enough and so I started looking for other GMAT prep companies. I came across e-GMAT through GMAT club and I was impressed by the testimonials. I attend one of their free SC webinars and decided to schedule a free consultation call with them. After talking to the consultant, I signed up with them and gave their Sigma X-mock and scored a 580. I wasn't concerned about the overall score because I had read that the official score is usually 40-50 points higher than Sigma-X mocks. It did give me a very comprehensive snapshot of my weak and strong areas. My verbal was better than my quants. CR was a bigger concern than SC and RC was good. Algebra needed the most work among the quant topics. So I started with quants. Unfortunately, when I came to the cementing stage for the first section, I couldn't pass it no matter how much I tried. Dejected, I decided to study quants from elsewhere as it seemed like I wasn't improving. I think the problem was that their questions were extremely lengthy and I found myself running out of time. Their course is good but I wasn't a fan of their quant questions.
Eventually, I turned to them for verbal and found that that was one of the best decisions for my GMAT prep. This was exactly 2 months before my test date. I am enlisting below the things I liked the most about them (this is only relevant for their verbal content):
1. The course: Brilliant! The video format is crucial for understand nuances of sentence structure, grammar rules, and how to apply the approach they teach in real time. It is simple and very well sorted. It can look daunting but I found that it clarified my concepts so well that I could eliminate incorrect choices in questions with solid reasons easily. I don't think there is anything that their course doesn't teach.
2. Meaning-based approach and pre-thinking: I can safely say that the meaning-based approach is infallible. Not only that, when I could not remember the grammar rule for something, the meaning-based approach always came to my rescue. It worked almost every time. For CR, I had thought I wouldn't use pre-thinking because it seemed like it would take too much of my time and what if I wasn't able to pre-think the CA? I would be further confused when I looked at the options. But boy, was I wrong! Pre-thinking doesn't teach you to think of the CA for the question. Noone could possibly think of the exact CA in all situations. It teaches you to analyse and process the information in the passage such that you can come up with a FRAMEWORK for how the answer should look like or on what logic the answer should be based. That was game-changing! My ESR reveals that I answered correctly 100% of the CR questions I attempted. I had come a long way from CR being my weakest section of verbal.
3. Scholaranium: After my experience with quant questions, I was wary of scholaranium verbal questions. I was wrong. These questions were the key to my consistent success in verbal (V41 is my lowest in all of my official mocks and my real test). They are slightly more nuanced than the official questions but they teach you everything you need to know to answer all kinds of questions on the GMAT. If you have practiced enough of these questions (and analysed them well), rest assured that you will not struggle with verbal! RC questions weren't my favourite but CR and SC questions were everything and more! The explanations given for each option clarified so many of my gaps!
4. Last and most important/helpful: I had very little time left and I was struggling with completing my verbal course with e-GMAT and my quants course with the other prep company (TTP). At this point (about a month before my actual test), I reached out to their support team asking for a mentor. Rashmi, one of the mentors and strategy experts at e-GMAT, responded within 24 hours. In my last one month before the test, Rashmi has been a constant support and a guiding light for me. I reached out to her for all my little and big concerns regarding my prep. She always returned with encouraging words and a very structured plan to make improvements. She respected my decision to not do quants questions on their platform and still gave me guidance on how to go about quants OG practice. I followed her advice and was able to score 760 in the official mocks. Her guidance was instrumental in my success!
One extra thing that I absolutely loved was their application files. I watched Payal solve so many questions in those videos following the step-by-step approach that it was finally ingrained in me. Those were extremely helpful!
It might look like I am simping for about them but this is genuinely how I feel about them, especially their verbal course. If you're studying with them, you're verbal at least is sorted!
Hey ridamagarwal,
Hearty congratulations on the 740 score! A 100-point overall improvement is no mean task and I applaud you for achieving this feat! It has been a wonderful experience working with you for the last month.
You are the perfect example of how a structured diligent approach to GMAT preparation can help you get to the top score😊
You completed each step on the way with utmost sincerity and attention to detail to such an extent that you made following the right approach second nature to you. In SC, you internalized the meaning-based approach that helped to improve to a 90th%ile ability. See how this methodical approach helped you improve to a 70%+ accuracy across all the blocks: https://success.e-gmat.com/70-percent-accuracy-in-SC
Now, coming to CR – it was your weakest sub-section. Despite your initial skepticism, you set about learning CR from scratch – all the concepts, and applications. Then by a focused practice on GMAT-like questions through cementing, you mastered pre-thinking to such an extent that your accuracy for CR questions in the test was 100%.
Here is an image that shows how the time that you spent on internalizing the concepts and applications helped you get to a 90th%ile ability in CR: https://success.e-gmat.com/good-foundation-CR-results-in-90-percent-ability
Thank you for your feedback on the quant questions. We value each feedback that we receive as this just helps us improve as a company and helps us serve the students better. That said, I believe that when one sets out to conquer an exam like the GMAT, one must be exposed to all kinds of questions to truly ace the GMAT.
It is not easy to get a 740 – only 3 in 100 achieve this feat, fewer on their first attempt. But you have shown that when one sets an eye on the goal, even the impossible becomes possible!
Ridam, continue to scale greater heights and inspire people with your achievements. I, on behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, wish you all the best.
Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
I started preparing for GMAT in May of this year. I gave a free GMAT mock before starting just to know what my weak points were and what needed my attention the most. I scored 580 in that mock and started preparing. I started by watching various YouTube videos , solving questions and after 2 months gave another mock, this time an e-GMAT free Sigma-X mock test, and even after studying for 3hrs (avg.) daily I could only score a 620(Q47 V27).
Coming from an engineering background, I was always confident of my quant abilities. But even after reading several different books/watching several videos to prepare for the verbal section, I was not confident of my verbal abilities, especially my CR and RC abilities(RC being the weakest). I attended free webinars on SC, CR and RC sections organized by e-GMAT and was impressed by its approach to the verbal section. Finally, I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared.
Best part about e-GMAT in my opinion was the Personalized Study Plan (PSP) which helped me create and follow a very fruitful study plan. I straight away started with the verbal section and e-GMAT helped a lot in building my foundation for the Verbal section.
When I started preparing for RC with the e-GMAT modules, I was not very optimistic about the outcome because I have not read much books (and believe me if you are an avid reader you would do great in RC section), but based on the way I was taught to approach RC passages, types of questions , I started enjoying solving RC questions, which I used to avoid all the time, and reached at an 80% accuracy level from 55%.
After completing a particular section, it helped me solidify my concepts by giving tests known as cementing quizzes. Which really helped me know where I was lacking even after finishing a part, if I was stuck in any question I used to ask an expert and within 1-2 hours I used to get a reply.
Unfortunately due to some personal reasons, I was not able to give my GMAT within the duration of my subscription, but none the less, even after my subscription ended I got a reach-out mail from e-GMAT and they helped me by clearing my concerns, giving me tips on where I should focus more, and gave me a study plan for the remaining days till my exam.
All in all, thanks to e-GMAT, Payal Tandon Ma'am and Abha Mohan Ma'am I was able to score a 710(Q49 V37) on my first attempt.
First Sigma Mock: 620
Last Sigma Mock: 680
Official Mock 1: 580
Official Mock 2: 660
Official Mock 3: 720
GMAT Attempt 1: 710(Q49 and V37)
Total Preparation Time: 6 months, approx. 3 hours a day
Hi yatharthdubey31,
This is Abha from e-GMAT. Congratulations on your 710 and thanks for sharing such lovely words. I am very happy to see you be a part of the 700 Club.
A 10-point improvement in Verbal from a V27 (44th percentile) to a V37(81st percentile) is no mean feat and I commend you on your diligence and dedication.
You started off the right way by attempting the first Sigma X Mock and creating your Personalised Study Plan and following the suggested pathway.
Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/PSP-Charted-path-to-710
For a student looking to improve their verbal score, understanding all the concepts well and internalizing the process such that it becomes second nature to you is an imperative part of the learning.
I am glad that the RC strategies gave you confidence and helped you understand the passages which in turn helped improve your accuracy. Here is an image below where you have diligently completed the RC Course and attained 95% plus accuracy in practice quizzes and concept quizzes.

Your diligence and resilience helped you build your ability and made your success inevitable. It was just a matter of time, and I am sure these qualities will take you a long way in life.
All the best for all your next steps!
Regards,
Abha Mohan
e-GMAT's verbal course and curriculum are unparalleled. It has the most comprehensive and exhaustive set of grammar, CR,RC & SC rules you'll need for a GMAT verbal section. I particularly liked the CR and the SC course, and I could see and measure my improvement in VR Scores after taking the course! Their website has many custom quiz options one can take to gauge their ability, accuracy and test readiness. For Quant, I felt that the platform had questions that were probably a little more difficult and complicated than the OG questions. But one can go through their quant course too to review all the concepts and formulae in one place. Cheers to Abha @ eGMAT for helping me throughout the prep period. I would highly recommend eGMAT esp. for Verbal improvement.
Hi guhahaha,
Congratulations on your wonderful score! 140-point improvement is highly commendable.
This is Abha from e-GMAT. It was a pleasure working with you and being a part of your journey.
We are glad to know you enjoyed using the course. You completed the course in the right spirit and mastered your concepts across SC, CR, and RC by completing the cementing stage of each of the sub-sections.
Here is an image that reflects how you immersed yourself in the process and mastered the meaning-based approach in SC, which in turn helped you attain 90% percentile ability in hard questions.
Image link: https://success.e-gmat.com/SC-predicting-90-percentile-ability
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the Quant part of the course. Having said that you must understand that preparing for GMAT is like preparing for war and you must be prepared to tackle the most difficult questions out there. Bottom line – our job is to minimize surprises for you.
Thank you for taking out the time to share your feedback.
I wish you all the best for the next steps!
Regards,
Abha
I scored 690 (Q-50, V-32) in my first attempt in July 2022. Unhappy with my score, I reattempted in August and scored a 650. Obviously, I cancelled my score. At this point, I realized that I needed to change my preparation strategy. My consultant recommended e-GMAT to me. My focus was completely on the verbal section.
When I started the e-GMAT verbal course, I could clearly see the difference between the verbal content I had studied, and the verbal content e-GMAT taught. e-GMAT’s verbal prep was in-depth and probably covered every aspect that could be tested. The cementing process and the analytics really helped identify my weak areas and work on those.
In October 2022, after completed the e-GMAT course, I scored 710 (Q-49, and V-36). I was still unhappy with my score, and I decided to take a reattempt. As soon as I conveyed this decision to e-GMAT, I was inducted into e-GMAT’s Last Mile Program. I was introduced to a strategy expert, Akash. Akash was like my cheerleader and mentor throughout the preparation. He analyzed my ESRs and e-GMAT analytics to tailor a strategy for me.
Through the Last Mile Program, I realized that my time management strategy was terrible. Akash gave me a time management strategy to follow. He also identified certain weaker areas and guided me through those. Finally, in November 2022, I scored 740 (Q51, V-38)
Here are my biggest takeaways from e-GMAT’s course:
1. Significant improvement in verbal concepts and skills. This improvement was due to the focus on e-GMAT’s meaning based approach, which I believe is necessary for tackling 700+ questions
2. Volume of practice offered – The amount of practice e-GMAT provides really helped me build my confidence. At times, I would get confused between 2 answer choices. The practice built my intuition, which significantly helped me improve.
3. Cementing and analysis – This helped mt identify my weaker areas and manage preparation time efficiently
4. Last Mile Program – My strategy expert, Akash provided effective time management strategies for the test. These strategies ensured that I never struggled with the time on the test, a problem I faced in the first three attempts.
I would like to thank Akash and the entire e-GMAT team to help me through the test.
Dear akshaj101,
Congratulations on your score of 740 with a perfect Q51 and a remarkable V38. With this you have become a part of the top 3 percentile test takers! The fact that you have improved from your last test score of 710 to 740 (90th percentile to 97th percentile) within just 13 days makes this feat even more commendable.
You were always willing to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve. With your dedication, you let the meaning-based approach in SC become a second nature to you. The below image shows that not only you improved your accuracies in SC hard questions from 64% to 87%, but also you improved your timing in those questions from 1 minute 36 seconds per question to 1 minute 18 seconds per question.

Even after reaching the 90th percentile, you were looking to identify your weaker areas and were ready to work on them. You understood that it was not just about the concepts, but also about the time management.
You were already around Q50 mark when you joined us. Hats off to you for the hard work you put in to improve from Q50 to Q51 (87th percentile to 97th percentile). You maintained your consistency throughout, understood your weaknesses and worked relentlessly on them. The image below shows your phenomenal stats in Quant hard level questions across all subsections –

The E-gmat focused online course was quite heplful in understanding the kind of skills GMAT tests. Their SC course is designed right from basics i.e. - building blocks of sentence. This definitely helps especially for non native speakers. Although there is a notion that E-gmat is known for verbal, I found their quant course quite detailed. I think their quant course is quite underrated. The Scholaranium platform that they have tests you right from basic to advanced levels. The support mail is quite prompt and you can expect reply at the earliest. I was assigned a mentor Rashmi Vaidya. She helped me in identifying my weak areas and guided me throughout the course. I must say she was quite patient and diligent. I am overall satisfied with the course.
Dear kunalmahajan,
Congratulations on your 710! It has been a pleasure working with you as your mentor in your GMAT journey.
Being a non-native speaker, the verbal preparation was not easy. But you went about it in a structured way by investing in building your basics and then refining it further by practicing on Scholaranium questions.
See how this methodical approach helped you improve your SC ability to a 75% accuracy: https://resources.e-gmat.com/75percent-accuracy-in-SC-questions
The results of the determination and diligence that you showed during your preparation can be seen in the great accuracy that you have for hard questions in quant.
Kunal, I am sure that these qualities with help you excel in your MBA journey and help you grow your social enterprise by leaps and bounds.
Wishing you all the best,
Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
I finally got a 700 on my second attempt.
When I first decided to write the GMAT, I thought solving the official guide was enough to crack the GMAT. However, I was shocked to get a 580 on my first try. I understood that I needed a competent and tactical approach to crack the exam but there are thousands of services and GMAT classes available online. I did my research and planned to go with the e-GMAT services since they have a huge success rate.
And luckily the e-GMAT online portal was a lifesaver. I could design my own personalized study plan and set my target score accordingly.
I also learned how to approach the verbal section in a logical way. Just like Mathematics, there are logical steps to crack the tricky verbal section. I also was heavily dependent on the Sigma-X mocks which replicate the real GMAT exam. The mocks are pretty much accurate and if you get consistent scores in the mocks, you are likely to end up with a similar score on the real GMAT.
Last but not the least, e-GMAT connects you with a mentor for mock analysis and other strategic advice. Akash Aggarwal was my mentor and helped me strategise my study plan, which was of great help.
In the end, I would suggest that It is really important to build a strategic study plan and stick to it. The GMAT is not a difficult exam but instead, a tricky exam and guidance in the right direction will definitely help you crack it.
All the Best!
Dear abhinavk2012,
Congratulations on your score of 700 with a Q47 and a remarkable V39! A 120-point improvement overall with a 15-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V39 (34th percentile to 88th percentile) is a phenomenal feat to achieve within just 3 months.
It is very interesting to see your views on the Verbal section on how you tackled it mathematically in a logical way. It was just a matter of time before you got the fruits of this approach in your accuracy and timing. The below image shows that not only you improved your accuracies in SC from 65% to 94%, but also you improved your timing from 1 minute 36 seconds per question to 1 minute 24 seconds per question.
Image Links - https://resources.e-gmat.com/abhinavk2012-SC-Improvement-Statistics
You did not stop yourself right there. You gave this effort in all the subsections in Verbal. The below image shows your statistics across the three subsections in Verbal in hard questions. These statistics show your consistency through which you got that 15-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V39 (34th percentile to 88th percentile).
Image Link - https://resources.e-gmat.com/abhinavk2012-Verbal-Scholaranium-Statistics
I am glad that you understood that just solving official questions would not help you to reach the target score. When you joined us, you understood the requirements from your study plan of what is the overall effort required to get that 700 score. Even during your mocks, you were consistent and kept on improving with each mock by learning from your mistakes in every mock.
You have greater heights to achieve and I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination.
I wish you all the very best for your next steps!
Regards,
Akash
I cannot thank the team at e-gmat enough for their amazing course. The platform has comprehensive videos on pretty much every topic, as well as tests - both practice and diagnostic. The course was particularly helpful for quant; I went from Q33 in my first mock to a Q49 in my test. The course allowed me to build process skills that helped me solve GMAT quant questions logically, instead of simply falling back on formulas. Their section on word problems was particularly helpful- it simplified the entire process, with individual modules for work, speed, interest and sales. The Sentence Correction modules broke down the process into methodical steps and logical rules. This helped me reach 99th percentile in the SC section. One area where I feel the course could improve upon is the CR section. I found that it did not help me as much, and I somewhat struggled with understanding the methodology the course prescribed. Consequently, this was also the section where I scored the least.
Hi Arka1993,
Congratulations on reaching the top 3%ile!
Abha this side from e-GMAT. A GMAT 740 is an amazing score, and we are glad that we could be part of your journey.
The sheer determination you have shown to get to this point is phenomenal. You followed a structured approach throughout your preparations which helped you improve from 700 (88th percentile) to 740 (97th percentile).
You laid a solid foundation by completing the concepts files and applications files and then mastered the concepts and processes by cementing each of the sub-sections. Here is an image reflecting that with the help of the meaning-based approach your accuracy improved from 64% to 83% (90 percentile ability) in SC questions .

I am glad that you could identify that time management was an issue for you in the initial stages itself and were able to rectify the same by judiciously dividing your study hours into smaller intervals which turned out effective for you.
You leveraged Quant 2.0 and the PACE engine on the e-GMAT Platform ensuring that you took the swiftest route to a Q51. Here is an image showcasing you were able to save 11 hours in your Algebra preparations using the PACE engine.

I remember the mail you sent to us after you scored 700 on your 1st attempt. I remember telling you to have heart and that all we needed was a little bit more hard work and you were more than willing to give it your all which resulted in 740 (97th percentile) in your next attempt.
I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, would like to wish you all the very best in your future endeavors - any program would be enriched to have a diligent student like you as part of its cohort.
All the best!
Regards,
Abha Mohan
