I'm excited to share my journey of how I went from a GMAT score of 470 ( Q49 V12) to 740(Q50 V40) in just two years with the help of my GMAT teacher, Rahul Raj from Your GMAT classes -https://www.yourgmatclasses.com/. Rahul played a crucial role in my GMAT success, and his personalized study plan and expertise were instrumental in helping me achieve my goals.
When I first started studying for the GMAT, I was overwhelmed by the amount of material and the complexity of the exam. I had no idea where to start or how to structure my study plan. That's when I decided to seek out a GMAT teacher who could provide me with guidance and support throughout the preparation process. I was lucky enough to find Rahul Raj from YourGMAT classes, who quickly became an invaluable resource and mentor to me.
Rahul Raj's approach to teaching was highly personalized, and he took the time to understand my individual strengths and weaknesses to create a study plan tailored to my needs. He helped me set realistic goals and milestones and provided guidance on how to best utilize my time and resources to achieve those goals.
One of the resources that Rahul recommended to me was the GMAT Club, an online platform that offers a wide range of GMAT resources and support. The GMAT Club provided me with a question bank with thousands of GMAT practice questions, detailed explanations, and video tutorials. Rahul expertly guided me on how to use the GMAT Club effectively as part of my study plan. He recommended specific practice questions and tests to take and provided guidance on how to analyze my performance and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, he encouraged me to engage with the GMAT Club community, which provided valuable support and motivation throughout the GMAT preparation process.
For SC he helped me with specific ATD process
1. Identify the errors: The first step in sentence correction is to identify the errors in the sentence. Pay attention to the underlined portion of the sentence, as this is where the error is located. Look for errors in subject-verb agreement, verb tense, parallelism, modifiers, pronouns, and idioms.
2. Eliminate the obvious: Once you have identified the error, eliminate any answer choices that are obviously incorrect. For example, if the sentence contains a subject-verb disagreement, eliminate answer choices that do not correct this error.
3. Read the sentence carefully: Read the sentence carefully to ensure that the answer choice you have selected makes sense in the context of the sentence. Make sure that the answer choice does not introduce any new errors or change the intended meaning of the sentence.
4. Use process of elimination: If you are unsure of the correct answer, use process of elimination. Eliminate any answer choices that contain errors or that do not fit the context of the sentence. This will increase your chances of selecting the correct answer.
5. Memorize common errors: Memorize common errors that appear on sentence correction questions. This will help you quickly identify and correct errors, saving you time and increasing your accuracy. Some common errors to memorize include subject-verb agreement, verb tense, parallelism, modifiers, pronouns, and idioms.
For CR his strategy was ETA
1. Understand the question stem: The question stem will provide you with information on what the question is asking you to do. For example, it may ask you to strengthen, weaken, or evaluate an argument. Understanding the question stem is crucial to identifying the correct answer.
2. Read the passage carefully: Read the passage carefully and make sure you understand the argument being presented. Pay attention to the key details, assumptions, and evidence presented in the argument. Identify the main conclusion and the premises that support it.
3. Identify the argument structure: Identify the structure of the argument, including the premises and the conclusion. This will help you understand the reasoning behind the argument and identify any flaws or assumptions.
4. Evaluate the argument: Evaluate the argument by considering the assumptions, evidence, and reasoning presented. Identify any weaknesses in the argument and consider alternative explanations.
5. Eliminate answer choices: Use the process of elimination to eliminate any answer choices that are clearly incorrect. This will help you focus on the remaining answer choices and increase your chances of selecting the correct answer.
6. Look for answer choices that match your prethinking: Before looking at the answer choices, try to come up with your own answer based on your understanding of the argument. Look for answer choices that match your prethinking and eliminate any that do not fit.
For RC-
The only thing he re-iterates is read, read, and read, for me I started reading quantum physics, astrophysics. So, if someone wants to learn about Quarks, Space- Time Curvature or recent discovery of Sagittarius Black hole- Sagittarius A, should def contact me.
PRO TIP- my school friend is a LIGO- researcher on Gravitational waves. I might know what you don’t know.
Another key factor in my success was Rahul's ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms. He broke down the material into manageable chunks and helped me understand the underlying principles and strategies that were crucial for success on the GMAT. His patience and willingness to listen to my concerns and questions were invaluable, and he was always available to provide personalized feedback and support.
Throughout my two years of study, Rahul was a constant source of motivation and encouragement. He helped me maintain a positive attitude and focus on my goals even when I faced setbacks or challenges. His unwavering support was instrumental in helping me stay motivated and committed to achieving my best possible score.
