I am thankful to e-gmat for providing exceptional support during my GMAT journey.
My GMAT journey started in May'2023 when I gave my first attempt. I had not signed up for any course and took the exam after 1-2 months of self study from Official guide and GMAT club. I received a score of 650 (much lower than my target score of 700+). After interaction with alumni from my target schools (IIM A,B, C and ISB) and considering my strong academics, I applied to my target schools with this score. Fortunately, I received calls from IIM B, C and ISB but couldn't convert any of them. Hence, I planned to re-write the exam. Since all my peers had improved their scores through e-gmat course, they advised me to join the course. I did not want to take any chances this time and so, I joined e-gmat's focused study course in Mar'24.
Before beginning the course, I was required to take a diagnostic mock test in which I scored a 595 (V79, DI74, Q86). The journey from these scores to my final 665 was challenging, but e-GMAT's comprehensive approach made it possible. e-GMAT's PSP (Personalised study Plan) feature helped provide a clear picture of the time required to achieve my target score. I could also input my tentative study hours for each day in advance, which ensured that the plan was thorough.
Coming to the course, the course is so intricately designed and structured that it ensures interactive and immersive learning. Each course is followed by an assessment quiz, which are followed by application and practice files containing more practice questions. After completion of a course, cementing quizzes are to be passed without which the course is not considered complete.
E-GMAT's pre-thinking approach for Critical reasoning is a game changer and makes solving CR questions a cake walk.
The Quant course is also excellent. Being from engineering background, I had good quant skills already but lacked the process skills required to solve 21 questions within a time span of 45 minutes, that too with a high accuracy. The skills taught in the course along a large pool of practice questions helped me improve my Quant accuracy from 80% to 95%.
After completing the Verbal and Quant courses, The Data Interpretation questions seemed pretty easy to understand and solve. Furthermore, the course approach of teaching through case study application and practice files really helped. My DI score improved from 74 to 81.
Last but not the least, The Last Mile Push (LMP) program played a key role in my success. The thorough study plan devised in the program helped improve my accuracy on Hard questions.
E-GMAT team's continual support, strategic guidance, mock analysis and feedback throughout the program is commendable.
I highly recommend e-GMAT course to everyone aspiring to achieve a decent GMAT score.
