What Worked for Me:
1. CR and RC Breakdown Videos — Absolute Gold
e-GMAT's Verbal content was a game-changer. The pre-thinking method for Critical Reasoning and the structured approach to Reading Comprehension helped me move faster and more accurately — especially under pressure.
2. Cementing Quizzes and Error Logs
The Quant Scholaranium helped me go beyond just getting questions right. I understood the why, which gave me real confidence. I especially loved the custom quiz feature — perfect for drilling weak areas like inequalities or number properties.
3. Strategic Support from the e-GMAT Team
The personalized feedback I got — especially when I shared my first mock performance — helped me refocus where it counted. Their insights on timing strategy and pacing were spot-on.
When I first started prepping, I approached the GMAT like an academic test — grind hard, get it perfect, win. But the GMAT Focus is different. It’s strategic, psychological, and punishing if you overinvest in the wrong moment. That realization came through e-GMAT’s brilliant learning modules, and more importantly, through personalized mentoring. Abha was super helpful in teaching me to unlearn my ability to not be able to let go of questions.
I used to obsess over questions mid-section — especially in Quant and DI. I’d spend 3–4 minutes on a problem, determined to crack it. The irony? That stubbornness lowered my score. I wasn’t letting the algorithm see my full ability because I was getting stuck early and dropping pacing later.
Abha worked with me to retrain my instincts. She taught me how to recognize when to let go — to guess confidently and move on, and to preserve mental energy for later questions.
The e-GMAT Edge
1. Scholaranium & Custom Quizzes
This was where the real transformation happened. I used Scholaranium not just for practice, but to simulate test-day conditions — complete with decision fatigue, time pressure, and letting go. I created custom quizzes that targeted my exact weaknesses (e.g., overlapping sets, inference questions in RC), and used the analytics to measure progress.
2. CR & RC Frameworks
The pre-thinking method for CR and the structured reading strategy for RC gave me mental clarity. I stopped panicking during Verbal. For the first time, I actually felt in control of my responses.
3. Mindset Coaching from Abha
This deserves its own section. Abha was more than a mentor — she became a coach, a sounding board, and a calming presence. She didn’t just tell me what to fix. She helped me unpack why I was getting stuck, how to trust myself again, and how to walk into the exam with conviction, not anxiety.
I ended up with a 695 on the GMAT Focus, which places me in the 98th percentile globally - and puts me in a really good place for my applications. I can't thank e-GMAT and Abha enough for the same!
