I started my preparation with some old official guides and other books and soon realized it was extremely un-structured and not exhaustive in concepts and difficulty. I looked to subscribe to a GMAT preparation course and landed on e-gmat. My weaknesses were in verbal which I did very poorly on my mock test. In quants, my concepts were clear but I found myself succumbing to trap answers and silly mistakes. I started with building the fundamentals using the video courses on e-gmat followed by cementing quizzes on each concept. I first focused on accuracy and later improved timing. The support I got from the e-gmat team was incredible. They prepared a study plan specific to my strengths and weaknesses and also took into consideration my busy schedule. Abha was in constant touch and made sure I diagnose and fix my strategy when I faltered on tests. E-gmat’s recommendation to have a well defined error log helped especially towards the later stages of my preparation. Abha also helped me fill concept gaps that eventually helped me improve accuracy and timing. The next stage was being able to answer under time restrictions. For this, the e-gmat scholorium was the best tool. I was able to hone my test taking skills that significantly improved my ability to work within the time frame on the actual gmat exam. Followed by this, I tool 6 official mock exams scoring between 635-665. On the actual exam, I scored 665 (Q83, V84, DI82 – I also took the exam in this order). Two important tips for GMAT aspirants: A. try not to take too many mock exams right before the actual exam. B. try not to change the order of the sections on the final actual GMAT exam. C. Spend more time with the first 10 questions (I got only 3 wrong in quant and ended with a Q83, my mistakes were in the beginning-middle).
