Strengths:
Precise, no bullshit, quality content filled product
Would make the product better:
Maybe offer some discounts on college consulting for 700+ achievers.
Before usimg GMATWhiz I was primarily using Manhatten online series, and I honestly felt that it's content was too broad and unnecessary in many areas. As I work in a remote location, it wasn't possible for me to take offline courses.
In my first attempt, when I was working with Manhatten, I could only score a 580 on 20th March. During the same period one of my friends scored a 650 by preparing from GMATWhiz, and he had high praises for the same. So I decided to give it a go and started preparing from GMATWhiz on 13th May, and I scheduled my 2nd attempt on 10th August.
Immediately after joining GMATWhiz, I was given a diagnostic test to analyse my levels of prep, and accordingly GMATWhiz chalked out a roadmap for me. As I worked in a steel plant where there where I had to work in irregular round the clock shift, I always had this issue of studying in fixed hours in any particular week. Therefore I was extremely pleased when I realized I could dynamically fix the study hours in any particular week. This weekly adjustment in turn dynamically adjusted the whole roadmap as well, which was really helpful for me, as I was able to ensure that I completed my preparation on time, and keep my preparation under check.
Apart from this, I personally was trughling a lot in Verbal section, but the best part of GMATWhiz was, after completing each topic, it asked me to solve OG questions, while it kept a track of the accuracy and time management I was having while solving them. This literally helped to accurately pinpoint which all topic I was actually struggling. Previously I always believed that I was steong and weak in some aspects, whereas the AI module helped me realise my weakness were actually somewhere else. This along with the plethora of quizzies GMATWhiz had to offer helped me comprehensively prepare well for my exam.
I was unaware of this feature initially, as I was mainly very content with the in depth, and more importantly precise analysis the website had to offer with regards to my preparation. But the mentor really helped in the last weeks of my preparation as he asked me to rework on some specific topics which I'd chose to leave out of sheer overconfidence. I'd to pay for the same during my 2nd attempt, as I scored only 670. But my mentor (Shubhankar Dhar) encouraged me to go for another attempt within less than a month, and I was then able to score a 700 on 3rd September.
I would like to conclude by saying I'm a guy who struggled for 3 years trying to nail CAT. I never crossed 80 %ile in CAT, even though I did prepare sincerely from various coaching classes, but I never saw any results. In l honesty, GMATWhiz was the only coaching which helped me produce positive results. I didn't actually believe I'd be able ever see 650 on my test screen, but 2 days before my 3rd attempt, I was able to produce a 740 in the 5th official GMAT Mock test.
GMATWhiz prepared me in a way, that in the end even 700 felt like a failure to me. Trust me, they have the perfect algorithm to force you to succeed, IF you're ready to put in sincere efforts.
Thank you GMATWhiz, and all the best to anyone who chooses them. You won't regret.
