Strengths:
Course content and structure, learning methodologies and processes like SC meaning-based approach or CR pre-thinking, personalized study plans and great analysis tools into sub-section abilities, and finally, their 1:1 support as part of the last mile program
I began preparing for the GMAT very late in the game for Round 2 applications this year and e-GMAT is the sole reason I was able to achieve my target (nay, dream) score. I would blindly recommend to anyone and everyone regardless of your starting level and here's why:
1) Course structure: with so many different resources to choose from online, not to mention the countless test-prep publishers, it can get a little overwhelming deciding what to study and that's where I really appreciated the e-GMAT modular course structure which has both breadth of everything you need to know and also depth (tons of practice questions and video lessons) in whichever areas you seek to improve
2) Course content: in my opinion, the learning content and unique approach to certain sections of the test has clearly been developed over years and is second to none. For example, the meaning-based approach to SC, pre-thinking in CR and the invaluable process skills in Quant
3) Quality of questions and analysis tools: I only covered about 25% of the total number of questions available on the platform and yet was able to expose myself to almost every little trick the GMAT test makers may use. Scholaranium 2.0 is awesome and after you guys are done with the learning modules, this should be where you spend most of your team and do most of your learning (and score improving!). Further, their analysis tools to judge your ability based on your performance in not just a subsection (say Algebra) but even more granular (like simplifying algebraic expressions or solving quadratic equations) and therefore you know where to improve your accuracy to achieve your target sectional (and sub-sectional) scores/ability
4) Last and perhaps the biggest reason for my to recommend e-GMAT is their hyper-personalized learning plans and the 1:1 support I received as part of the Last Mile Program. Rashmi was a not just a constant source of support and helped me maintain discipline, but also drafted my study plan personalized based on my initial mock test and then every few weeks into it would check in and make adjustments if needed. I felt the same level of motivation and commitment from the other e-GMAT mentors that I have interacted with and am positive that you all will be better-off for having their support.
Strengths:
Verbal Module and SigmaX Mocks
Would make the product better:
The quant module is too easy or not reflective of the true GMAT difficulty. This could be significantly revamped and improved.
Verbal Module and SigmaX Mocks are AMAZING! I really benefited from these two product features. I have improved my verbal score from V24 to V34 with eGMAT's thoughtful course content and exam strategy.
SigmaX mocks are very informative to simulate the CAT environment, more effective for exam sprint time prep.
The quant module is too easy or not reflective of the true GMAT difficulty. This could be significantly revamped and improved.
Overall, I really recommend this product! The regular pricing is a bit too expensive IMO. I got my package on sale during the summer, better value for money. I would recommend to get the package when it has promotion unless you don't care about the cost of the course.
Dear greenhouse7,
Congratulations on your score of 700 with a V34 and a remarkable Q50! An 80-point improvement overall with a 10-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V34 is a phenomenal feat to achieve.
You were always willing to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve in Verbal. The image below shows how you used the Scholaranium analytics to understand that Pronouns were your weaker area in SC and then how you improved your accuracy in it from 47% to 89% by practicing the meaning-based approach on a regular basis –
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/greenhouse7-SC-Improvement-Through-Analytics
You did not stop yourself right there. You gave this effort in all the subsections in Verbal. Through your consistent efforts in Verbal, you got that 10-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V34.
We appreciate your feedback on the Quant modules. We strive to put forward the best experience for you and we take every feedback as an opportunity to improve further.
You have greater heights to achieve, and I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination.
I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
Strengths:
1. The online platform built by e-GMAT which helps you assess you strengths and weaknesses with respect to sub-topics, difficulty level and timing.
2. The dedicated support through mentors (part of the Last Mile Program only) who chart out a prep plan allocating time to be spent on learning concepts and solving questions.
Would make the product better:
1. The Quant problem banks have some unnecessarily difficult questions. These are beyond what is tested by the GMAT.
2. The Last Mile Program and the terms and conditions should be described clearly during the first introduction call. They are brought into the picture only after the test taker has purchased and enrolled into the course.
I gave my final GMAT attempt on 4th March 2023 and scored a 740 (Q49, V42). This was my second attempt, less than three weeks after my initial attempt (690 - Q48, V37) on 13th Feb 2023. In between both attempts, I signed up for e-GMAT's $149 course.
I first came to know of e-GMAT through their Youtube channel when I was watching their Sentence Correction videos on the Meaning-based Approach. I liked their approach because it felt quite natural and relatable to how I had approached SC questions when I had attempted them without any preparation. Most importantly, it took the focus away from Grammar rules, at least partially, which I had dreaded from the time I was in middle school. After my first attempt, I felt that I needed professional help to identify and address my weaknesses in a pin-pointed manner but in a short amount of time. After my introductory call with Mansi from e-GMAT, I was convinced that they would be able to help me in the hyper-customized fashion that I was looking for.
Based on my ESR from the first attempt and a few diagnostic quizzes I took over a week during the evenings, the strategy expert from e-GMAT, Rida, helped me with a day-wise plan to address my weaknesses. Within 3-4 days, we were able to cover most of the topics and were ready to re-evaluate my test-readiness through a Sigma-X mock. While my overall performance on the mock was not as expected, it did give me confidence on some of the topics I had worked upon during the preceding week. Eventually, during my second attempt, just 12 days since my journey with e-GMAT started, I was able to apply the learnings from the concepts, practice questions and mock that e-GMAT provided to land on a score I was glad to accept.
The concepts that were instrumental to boost my confidence were around Sentence Correction - Comparisons and Modifiers. The deep-dives into topics like As vs Like were extremely helpful. I was also able to brush up my concepts of Geometry and Inequalities as it had been a while since I had put them to use. While I do feel that the phase-wise prep style at e-GMAT is extremely helpful as a comprehensive prep strategy, what worked for my time-sensitive use-case was the analytics-driven approach to identify my weaknesses across topics, difficulty level of questions and the time taken to solve questions.
I would definitely recommend e-GMAT to test-takers who are at a stage where I was when I approached them, i.e., if you are scoring 650+ and need the help of tools and a professional to pin-point your weaknesses and work on them to achieve a 700+ score. I’m sure e-GMAT has a lot more to offer to a lot more people, but in my limited interaction of 12 days, they were able to help me in a time-sensitive hyper-customized manner. The motivation that Rida, my strategy expert sent my way was the icing on the cake.
Strengths:
It is very comprehensive and covers each concept in great detail. AI helps extract most out of the questions.
I initially started preparing for GMAT from the Official Guides. However, it took me only a short time to realize this strategy wasn't right. I needed more than the concepts in the guide before the questions to solidify my preparation for the exam. Hence, I started navigating the internet to select an appropriate course. I came across excellent reviews for e-gmat on websites such as Quora, Reddit, and GMAT Club. A lot of people said that the verbal course is ideal for non-natives. I decided to opt for the 'GMAT online 360' course in e-gmat.
I was amazed by the depth of the content for each part of the test. Every topic was discussed in great detail, covering all possible ways the test maker may test that concept. To minimize the time spent, the modules in SC had pre-assessment quizzes s that one could go through the files accordingly. Post-assessment quizzes tested how much one had learned through the file. RC strategies were beneficial. The quant part was extensive; if one diligently follows their course, one can easily crack GMAT quant.
Cementing process was one of the most impressive parts of the course. It ensured that the concepts were solidified. Additionally, it helped me get comfortable with the hard questions required to score high in every section.
AI and data analytics helped me identify my weak areas to work upon. We could identify the questions that took us longer than the median time. Analysis of such questions was a great opportunity for improvement.
The subject matter experts were extremely helpful. Each doubt was cleared within 24 hours. Their intent wasn't just to solve the immediate doubt but to identify why the student had that confusion and to recommend suitable courses of action to bridge the gap in understanding.
Strategy experts were exceptionally helpful at every step of the preparation. Whenever I hit any roadblock, they would guide me. As a part of the Last Mile Program, I received direct support from Rida. She was an outstanding mentor. Not only did she help me analyze my mocks in the right direction, but she was also a constant source of support. I would contact her after each mock, and she used to help me with the corrective actions. The study plans made by her allowed me to practice a disciplined approach to the exams. You could feel the level of commitment from each of the e-gmat mentors.
I highly recommend this course!
Hi AishwaryaSaxena,
CONGRATS ON GMAT 700!!!
This is Rida, your mentor. I am so happy to read about your success.
Aishwarya, from day one, you have been dedicated to acing the GMAT. Just a glance through your course attempts shows that you gave it your all to perfect the concepts and the processes that would enable you to reach success.

Strengths:
Nice concept building. Detailed course
Would make the product better:
Mentor guidance was an issue for me. My mentor was not assigned to me in the starting. Only when i sent them mails during my last leg of preparation i was given a mentor. She too only gave tasks and never had a call with me
With many online courses available it is very important to get enrolled in one which is inline with your thought process.
One of the best feature about Egmat is the video solutions for almost all the questions. They have a detailed course available with them. One can easily build a solid foundation with their course.
What lacked for me was the exam readiness preparation from their side. On comparing the ESR from my attempt to my Egmat dashboard, things did not match. I knew of my strengths and my weaknesses which was not the same on their dashboard but quite inline with my ESR.
This is why i would urge each student to take up the free trail given by different courses and see if they are actually inline with your thinking process.
Dear devtashrey,
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback on our course. We are glad to hear that you found the video solutions and the course to be beneficial for building solid foundations.
We understand that our course may not meet the needs of every individual, and we appreciate your specific suggestions for improvement, especially to test out the trial versions of a course before coming to a final decision.
We are sorry to hear about your experience with the mentor guidance. We strive to put forward the best experience for you and we take every feedback as an opportunity to improve further.
We respect your opinion about the comparison of an ESR with the Scholaranium dashboard. However, the Scholaranium dashboard represents a comprehensive representation of your progress over more than 1000 questions in Verbal or Quant, not just the data from a single day,
Please reach out to us if you have any further suggestions or comments.
We wish you all the best for your next steps in the future!

Akash
Strengths:
- Well-structured course plan
- Decent price/value ratio
- Consultant - Rida Shafeek who was willing to schedule call with me very fast and gave a lot of quick tips and motivated me when I felt down and needed to improve rapidly in 20 days
- Very fast responses of instructors in discussions
Would make the product better:
- Length of some video courses. Sometimes the instructor went too much in detail (e.g. devoted a 17-minute video) with relatively easy and obvious topics
- Inaccurate calibration of easy, medium, hard questions. When I turned on some custom test and selected medium questions - it also gave me some easy and hard ones...
- In Verbal sections some correct answer choices were very poorly defended by instructors in discussion queries. However, this does not happen often.
Overall satisfied with this product.

Hey JulianJ,
Congratulations on a massive 180-point improvement!! This is Rida, your mentor. I am ecstatic to hear about your success!
I know that you were willing to put in all the effort to get to your target score. Just looking at the snapshot below- you gave it your 100% in the SC modules, so you could perfect the concepts that would enable success.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/JulianJ-SC-Efforts
The reason why we explain in such detail is so that non-native speakers and people who are not as familiar with the intricacies of the English language can acquire all the knowledge, they need to ace the Verbal section of the GMAT.
I think the discrepancies in question difficulty that you faced were in RC. In RC, the passages are classified as easy, medium and hard. Even when you pick a medium passage, you may face easy or hard questions. The difficulty level in the case of RC is therefore by passage, not by individual question.
Thank you for your suggestions! We are always looking to make improvements and grow to help more people reach their target score.
I am glad to know that I could help you on the way to your success.
I wish you all the best!!
Regards,
Rida
Course Content: The e-GMAT offers comprehensive course content for Quant and Verbal. The Quant and Verbal courses are structured topic-wise, starting with a quiz that gauges one’s level of understanding of each sub-topic, and progressing with a detailed explanation of the topics followed by quizzes on the studied topic. One is able to thoroughly comprehend the sub-topics with such well-structured course content. The reading comprehension course content is what I can vouch for, as it helped me improve my accuracy as well as my timing to solve RC passages.
Cementing quizzes: The Cementing quizzes, available in easy, medium, and hard difficulty, help one practice questions for a specific topic or under a mixed category. As soon as I felt comfortable after going through the sub-topics from the course content, I was advised to practice cementing quizzes for the specific sub-topic. Only after gaining a certain level of accuracy in the Cementing quizzes was I advised to move ahead to the next sub-topic. This approach helped me gain a decent level of understanding for each and every sub-topic.
Scholaranium: This is a very special offering by E-GMAT. A tool to analyse all the metrics based on your performance in the Scholaranium quizzes. Scholaranium helps one to directly identify one’s weak areas and helps to gauge progress in each and every aspect.
Sigma-X mocks: After going through all the advised course content and practicing multiple cementing quizzes, I attempted the Sigma-X mocks. The Sigma-X mocks are well designed to closely resemble the official GMAT test. My Sigma-X mock scores were 600, 650, 690, and 700. The improvement in these mock tests was only possible because of the constant feedback you get from the mentors who guide you through your journey.
Support Provided: A sincere thanks to my mentor, Abha Mohan mam, who helped me plan and execute my journey.
Hi AnuragJunghare,
Congratulations on the wonderful score!
This is Abha your mentor. When I look back at your journey, the one thing that stands out is that from day one you did not shy away from hard work.
You laid a solid foundation by completing the concept files and applications files and then mastered the concepts and processes by cementing each of the sub-sections. Here is an image where we can clearly see your strong foundation is reflected in the form of excellent scores across CR Blocks.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/CR-accuracy-improved-across-blocks
I am glad that the RC strategies helped you understand the passages which in turn helped improve your accuracy and reduce your timing. Here is an image below where your accuracy improved to 88% in Physical Sciences and Bio Sciences passages and time per question also reduced.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/accuracy-improved-to-95-percentile
It’s interesting that you mentioned how analytics powered your journey to success. At e-GMAT, we take great pride in our analytics-driven course which helps our students to identify the exact areas they need to improve on with respect to timing or accuracy.
At last, I just want to say that it was a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best for the next steps!
Regards,
Abha Mohan
Strengths:
1. The course is organized and follows a logical structure.
2. Good Customer Service
3. Provides a customized plan
4. Tracks Milestones
5. Analytics
Would make the product better:
1. Quality of Math Questions
2. Simpler solutions - specifically math
3. Reading Comp passages are much longer than official version
I am a repeat GMAT test taker. I had a good experience with e-gmat. I did not see any improvement in my score. However, I did see improvement in my overall skill. I scored a 710 on my first test and was hoping to improve to 740. Unfortunately, even though my verbal raw scores improved V35 vs V39. Because of a 1 point drop in quant Q50 to Q49. The algorithm calculated my score to be 710 on my last attempt.
I started to prepare for the GMAT in July 2022. I took a free MGMAT mock test to establish a baseline and scored 630. After a 2 week of studying Manhattan Prep SC and Quant I took an offical mock and scored 660.
For my first attempt I utilized Magoosh, Official Prep materials and LSAT RC to prepare for the exam. I studied ~10-12 hours/week between August - November 12, before taking the exam, and scored 710 (V35 and Q50). My overall score was exactly the same as the official mock test #6 (710).
The biggest weakness prior to e-gmat program was SC. Specifically, I was very slow at finding the correct answer for the SC question type. For my second attempt I utilized e-gmat and the OG advanced/guide 2022. My SC and CR improved by ~10-15 percentile points. The methods used by e-gmat are very effective.
I highly recommend utilizing e-gmat's mock and SC sections during the initial parts of your preparation. Once you have mastered all the concepts I recommend using the official guide quesions. You will find that due to nature of the e-gmat question bank you will find the official questions a lot easier to process. The OG questions are typiclly shorter and more concise and e-gmat definitely helps with time management.
I did use the E-gmat mentorship program as well. My mentor Abha was very responsive and provided me with a customized program. The program itself recommends using OG material as you get closer to the test. If any one has 3-4 months to prepare for the test and definitely recommend using the scholarium question bank to cement the concepts.
Overall, I was not as impressed with the quant modules. The questions are different from OG and real GMAT. However, the questions do allow you to master important concepts tested in the GMAT.
Finally, I took all 5 mock exams. The mocks are harder to complete than the official test as the question prompts can be a bit longer. However, the mock exams predictions and analytics are quite accurate and help identify one's strengths and weaknesses.
My final sigma mock was v39, Q49 - 720, and was the same as my official score. I never broke V40 on e-gmat and have yet to do so on the official GMAT as well!!
In conclusion, I rate the egmat program to be a valuable tool in GMAT preparation. The mentors can provide a lot of value to an individual who is not sure on how to structure their study plan.
Hi Atlas064,
Congratulations!!
This is Abha, your mentor. Thank you for taking out the time and sharing your experience with e-GMAT.
From day one, you immersed yourself in the process and followed a structured approach which in turn helped you to excel across Verbal sub-sections and improve from a V35 to V39. Here is an image where you can be seen hitting 60%+ accuracy (80th percentile) in Verbal hard level questions.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Atlas064-Verbal-stats-predict-V39
We are glad to know that you were able to see an improvement in your overall skill and that our techniques were able to help you improve your SC and CR by 10-15 percentile points. Here is an image of SC stats where you have improved from 55% to consistently hitting 70% accuracy in hard-level questions.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Atlas064-SC-accuracy-improved-to-85th-percentile
In the GMAT journey, it is important to be able to predict your scores so that you can eliminate any surprises on D-Day. We are pleased to know that you found the Sigma- X mock exams to be accurate in predicting scores and identifying strengths and weaknesses.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/Atlas064-Mocks-predict-actual-test-score
While I am happy that the Quant course helped you master important concepts, we also appreciate your feedback, and we are in the constant process of improvement to help our students to get to their target score.
At last, I just want to say, it was a pleasure working with you and I am so proud of the work you have put into this journey.
If you do decide to reattempt, please feel free to reach out to us. We would be more than happy to help you improve further.
All the best!

Abha Mohan
Strengths:
It had a lot of content. It strengthened my strengths and helped me become confident before test day.
Would make the product better:
I think the concepts are well taught, but I hope there was a separate time improvement mode to help me apply the concepts.
I would also like them to keep test review access open even when the product time expires since I was unable to review the tests that I had already taken before test day since my GMAT exam was scheduled almost a month later from the time my product time expired.
I would totally recommend e-GMAT for any new test taker.
Quants and CR are my strengths and EGMAT really strengthened my Quant and CR with their well curated content.
SC is still a weakness of mine, but I believe I improved a lot through the e-GMAT course. My RC abilities totally depend on the content of the passage. If I totally understood what the passage was trying to communicate in my first reading, I get almost all my answers right but when I find it difficult to completely understand the passage in my first reading, I become aware that getting all answers right would be tough for me.
With the full practice tests, I became aware of all my strengths and weaknesses and on Test Day I was very confident of getting a good score.
Hi surajitkalita25,
Congratulations on the 710!!
Thank you for such kind words, we are glad we could contribute to your success.
You truly immersed yourself in the process and completed the course with the right spirit which in turn helped you to improve your ability across the Verbal and Quant sub-sections.
Though CR was your strong point, recognizing that there were certain weak areas, you left no stone unturned to get from good to great, here is an image where you have improved from 60% to 75% accuracy in hard questions.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/CR-accuracy-improved-to-90-percentile
You successfully leveraged the Quant 2.0 course material to improve your skills further to get to Q50.
I am glad that you could identify your weak areas using the analytical tools on the platform and work on them to improve your accuracy. You could predict your success just by having a glance at your last two mock scores, wherein you scored 710 and 700.

I, on behalf of the entire e-GMAT team, wish you all the best for the next steps! 😊
Regards,
Abha Mohan
Strengths:
Verbal Course is very comprehensive and very GMAT oriented.
Would make the product better:
I would personally recommend you to hide the color coding(Green/Red) in the answer choices upon answering a question. If I get the question wrong, While reviewing I could see the correct answer choice(Highlighted in Green color) at a glance as in which option is the correct one but I personally wanted to give it a try again whether I got the question wrong because I rushed through or I had some gaps in the concept.
But, if there is another agenda for showing the color scheme as it is in the course,then keep going but I would like to know the agenda though😊.
Here’s my review of e-GMAT.
After completing my BTech in 2021, I wanted to start my MBA preparation. So, I started without any guidance as I thought I wouldn’t need it.
Now, Having the zeal to prepare on your own is important so does having a right mentor, if not more.
After countless hours of research, I started using resources available on the internet but didn’t follow correct strategy nor was I on the right track. Despite all the hard work, I was stuck at mid 600s and the reason was obvious that I was just solving questions randomly under the impression that I knew all the basics already and that practice makes a person perfect.
But let me tell you this-It’s the RIGHT PRACTICE THAT MAKES YOU PERFECT.
Then I subscribed to e-GMAT(a friend suggested) to improve my VERBAL score as I was already good at QUANT.
Trust me when I say this- You only think you knew everything in verbal until you come across the course provided.
The attempt that the Verbal course designers made to try to make one understand each and every concept(relevant to GMAT Verbal) without one having to memorise is truly commendable.
I gave my Exam again on 1st March,2023 and scored 730(Q50,V39).
Here are the things I liked in the course from each of the three sections:
Sentence Correction(SC)-
I never would have thought of the concepts/application of the same, had I not come across the course. I loved the meaning based approach. I loved how the course sticked to the concepts relevant to the GMAT(I mean it was obvious of the amount of research you guys did while developing the course). The teaching really helped me to solve medium to hard question within 90secs.
Critical Reasoning(CR)-
Previously, I used to read the question,scan through the options directly and wonder how in the world could those options be relevant/correct in the context of the question. But the PRETHINKING process taught in the course not only helped me solve hard questions with ease but also developed my problem solving skills. Thanks team for this process. This process will help me in the real world too😎.
Reading comprehension(RC)- The strategies mentioned surely helped to speed up my reading and comprehending skills. And personally I believe that this section depends on the ability of the test taker ultimately.
Quizzes:
I liked the concept of cementing. I followed the plan to the tee and it is absolutely necessary to do so too. Reviewing the solutions to both correct and incorrect questions helped me to solidify the concepts.
Thanks to the team for responding to all my silly doubts/queries😅 within a day.
QUANT-
Kudos to the team for the PACE AI. I felt like it was tailed-made especially for me as I was already good at Quant and It helped me to save a lot of time by letting me avoid concepts that I was already good at and concentrate on solidifying the concepts in which I had some gaps.
Last mile push-
Last but not the least,
Let me talk about LMP(Last mile push though I thought it was Last minute Prep at first😂)
While there is no doubt about the Verbal course significantly improving my Verbal ability, I would also attribute my improvement (from V28 to V39) to LMP.
I followed the plan given to me, attempted test readiness quizzes and attempted two Sigma-X Mocks and scored 740,730 respectively. To my surprise, These mocks were very reliable as I got the exact score in my official GMAT as in my Sigma Mock.
Thanks Dhruv for prepping my plan, for conducting 1-on-1 sessions and giving me valuable insights, and responding to my mails immediately.
Thanks Payal for such a wonderful GMAT prep product.
My suggestion to all the aspirants,who feel at sea as to which prep course to go with, is to give it a try and you won’t regret.
To those who started your e-GMAT/already in the midway through the course, I would suggest you to trust the process, follow the course to the tee, make a habit of maintaining error logs, and analyse each and every answer choice to reassure yourself why you got it wrong or whether you got it right for the right reasons.
All the best!!
Hi Hope46s
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 730 score!
A 60-point overall improvement combined with an 11-point Verbal improvement (V28 to V39) is certainly an accomplishment that needs to be shared and spread.
Your diligence throughout this journey has been at the core of your success.
As you have mentioned, you followed every suggested plan to the ‘TEE’. Your improvement in your CR abilities was due to the combination of your sincerity and the pre-thinking approach. This in turn led to a significant reduction in the takt time as well as can be seen in this image below
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/CRimprovement-90thpercentile
You followed a similar structured approach across all Verbal subsections, the result of which is apparent in your overall Verbal Scholaranium stats in the image below:
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/VerbalScholaranium-90thpercentile
We are glad to know that you leveraged P.A.C.E. AI feature to save 30+ hours that helped you get to a Q50 in the most optimal time
At the end it all comes down to predicting success. The score you attained in your last Mock is exactly what you scored on the actual test. Hence you could predict that you were well on your way to success.

Praneeth, it was a pleasure working closely with you towards your target score. We wish you the all the best for the next steps!

Dear adidixit10,
This is what dreams are made of! Congratulations on the 770 with a massive 9-point verbal improvement to V47😊 What an achievement this is! It has been a pleasure working through the Last Mile Push program with you toward this target.
This mail from you captures the ecstasy that you must have felt seeing the score pop-up on the screen:

What stands out in the entire journey is your diligence towards the preparation and the willingness and determination to learn from every question that you solved.
You left no stone unturned. Recognizing that SC is one of your weaker areas in verbal, you set about learning all the concepts and applications. Once done with that you practiced on the scholaranium questions to build your ability. See how this structured approach helped you breeze through the hard cementing quizzes helping you improve to the 95th %ile ability in SC:

In CR, you were starting out at a higher ability. But when you recognized that the process that you were using wasn’t delivering consistent results, using the analytics on the platform you identified your weak areas and diligently fixed them. See how with this data-driven approach you were able to transform the ‘Assumption’ block in CR to one of your strengths:

As you have rightly mentioned, given the time constraints, you did not have time to practice a lot of questions. But you made every question count by spending substantial time reviewing the solutions and learning from them. This iterative approach of learning from your mistakes helped you improve to the top 1% in verbal.
Even in quants, you leveraged the feedback-driven system and were able to improve from a Q47 to a Q49 in a matter of one week. Congratulations on that😊
adidixit10, the qualities that you have displayed during your preparation are the ones that characterize a winner, and I am sure you will go on to achieve great things in your future.
I wish you all the best for your forthcoming interviews from all your dream b-schools.
Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
