GMATWhiz online review

Strengths:

- Structured course for verbal
- Focus on areas that are lacking in quant (evaluated based on diagnostic test)
- Detailed course with point to point explanation

Would make the product better:

- Error log needs to be maintained manually as the portal does not keep track of it even though you can put tags to each question
- Better interface for keeping track of scores on the portal itself to evaluate progress

Before my first attempt at GMAT, I had mostly self-prepared using the OG Guide, Quant Review, and Verbal Review. I had taken Quant classes from Wizako which I felt really strengthened my basics, and no classes especially for Verbal, except that one month before the exam, I had taken Magoosh but did not have time to solve all the questions.
I scored a 640 (Q49, V27) on my first attempt in Nov22 - I went into the exam with not much confidence, because my score was fluctuating even during the mock tests.
After the exam, I realised that I need a better and more structured approach for verbal because till then, I had focussed only on solving more and more questions. I took the GMATWhiz course mainly to tackle the Verbal section with more confidence. I had already referred to their videos and webinars before my first attempt and also read a few reviews on GMAT Club. I booked a consultation call and decided to take their course on Dec 22.
For verbal, the course was very structured and very detailed to be able to solve any question that comes along my way. Before GMATWhiz, I used to directly jump to the options after reading any question in CR and SC, and also in RC, I used to read the question first and then the passage. GMATWhiz helped me change this approach and molded me to pre-think and make assumptions which helped me solve any question.
For quant, the course identified my strengths and automatically added/deleted topics based on my performance in the diagnostic quiz. That way, I did not spend time on topics that I was already confident in.
I spoke to my mentor once in two weeks and he asked me to make an error log which was extremely helpful in understanding what exactly I had to work on.
My final score was 700 (Q48, V38). I had expected to do better in quant but due to certain unforeseen circumstances and exam day pressure couldn’t perform as well as I had expected.
Overall, I had a great experience with GMATWhiz.

The only drawback that I noted is that though the portal helps students create error tags (reasons for error) for each question, the portal itself does not generate the error log using this. It would be a great help if the portal itself provided the base for the error log for the student.
