I started my GMAT journey with Jamboree (2.5 months class program) in early 2020 when I was planning to apply for deferred programs. After the course completion, it provides the students with a post-course study plan which I followed diligently and scheduled my exam in March 2020 considering myself well prepared. However, the study plan, being a static one, did not help me as I could barely identify the topics that I was weak at and had put no special effort into any topic being unaware of my weak areas. As a result, I could not hit my target score of 700+. It was only after reviewing my attempt I realized that the course didn’t help a lot me strategically and I needed a more structured prep along with a study plan that actually adapts to my progress
Deciding to write the GMAT again sometime in 2021 after giving my prep more time, I started exploring some online courses for my retake amidst the pandemic where almost everything turned virtual. Out of all the courses, I shortlisted GMATWhiz as my preferred choice because of various reasons, some of them being:
1. The program is so well designed and organized
2. Customized study plan with weekly tasks
3. Their pedagogy
4. Artificial Intelligence based learning
5. The mentorship support they were offering
I subscribed to their GMAT Prep 6-month online program which consists of both verbal and quant prep. I was assigned a mentor from the initial days. I must say the interface of the platform is intuitive. It is categorically organized and that helps with navigation.
I feel the way the course is designed helps with structurally tackling each segment of the GMAT. From getting the basics of a sentence right to using those in CR and RC, this approach helps with understanding the meaning the author tries to convey in an argument and ace Verbal prep. Even in Quant, the difficulty level increases with each question which helped me pinpoint my weaknesses and work on them.
The best feature I feel the platform has is the analysis offered on the questions tackled. It assisted me in understanding the areas where I lacked and then focusing on the same by solving questions related to those topics. The AI provides you with some concept boosters based on your weak areas and then you have some improvement modules to take care of your weaknesses then and there.
I scheduled some mentorship calls with Zartaj (my mentor) at regular intervals, who monitored my progress, provided some beneficial insights and helped me plan the rest of the preparation. I couldn’t have been luckier because she helped me devise a strategy that reduced yield loss while ensuring that I stayed in touch with the concepts covered earlier in the course. I trusted her, followed the plan she suggested, and this helped me elevate my performance to a great extent. She goes that extra step for her mentees which really makes a difference
The strategies the course offered, the difficulty level of the questions coupled with the unparalleled mentor support helped me ace my prep and get a 730 on the GMAT.
With so many courses in the market, GMATWhiz is a dark horse I feel. The focus is on quality ensuring continued support for the candidates and not stressing too much on marketing (which is the primary activity for many). Having interacted with many people who completed the course, I can vouch for the content in the course and then the added support is just the icing on the cake. Thank you, GMATWhiz for helping me ace my preparation.
