My journey from 600 to 730 has not been an easy one but I would surely say that it has been a fulfilling one; one filled with stress, pressure and anxiety but more importantly one of hope, hard-work and resilience.

After underperforming in my first two attempts [I scored 600 (Q47, V26) and 650 (Q47, V33)], I realized that my approach in solving the verbal questions (especially SC and RC) was not right. I knew that to reach the elusive 700 mark, I would have to start from scratch and change my approach.


I started researching about various courses and came across e-GMAT on GMAT Club. I signed up for the free trial and to my surprise, I learnt so many new things in those modules itself. I signed up for the full course immediately (the best decision I took during the whole journey). e-GMAT course worked wonders for me. The course structure, scholaranium and the personalized study plan stood out to me.


Highlights of the Verbal Course:

MC- The MC module was the best way to start the verbal course. It provides excellent reading strategies that lay a solid foundation to do well in the verbal section. This course drove my improvement in RC. My accuracy improved from 50% to 80% by the time I finished the RC module.

SC- SC went from being my weakness to my strength in 20 days. The comprehensive meaning-based approach improved my accuracy from 50% to 90%. After I completed the module, I was very confident in selecting the right answer and in rejecting the four incorrect choices.

CR- CR was always my strong point in the section. The module helped me brush up some conceptual gaps and the diversity of questions gave me exposure to attempt any type of question that came on the D-Day.


After going through the verbal course, I was confident in touching the V40 mark. I moved on to the quant modules.

I was confident in my quant skills before starting the modules. The quant 2.0 course is quite comprehensive. It makes complex topics such as absolute values and inequalities easy to understand. Yet, to my dismay, quant became my weaker of the two sections. After finishing the NP and WP modules, I took the first sigma-X mock and scored 750 (Q44, V47). Q44 was a shocker for me. After completing the other modules, I took the second mock and scored 770 (Q48, V46). I was happy with my quant score but I wanted- to reach to Q49-50.


After the second mock, DJ first reached out to me through the Last Mile Program. We had a call to analyse the first two mocks. He made me realize that I was struggling to manage my time well in the quant section. I usually ended up guessing the last 4-5 questions. He gave me the first milestones with a major focus on overcoming the time management issue using the cementing quizzes. I started maintaining a quant error-log and re-did the algebra and geometry modules. I took the third mock four days before my third attempt and scored 750 (Q49, V42). I was quite happy to see the Q49. DJ shared a well-detailed plan for the last three days. I was shocked when I scored 680 (Q46, V37) in the fourth mock two days before the exam and thus, lost all my confidence. DJ tried to calm me down and motivate me but I walked into the test center full of anxiety. I managed a decent 690 (Q45, V39) but I was not happy. I knew I could do so much better. I was mentally tired of the test and decided not to take it again. After leaving the test center, I mailed DJ about the score. He motivated me to appear for a reattempt because he believed that I could cross the 720 barrier. I decided to go for it for one final time. It was a big decision and I am glad that I made it.


I shared my ESR with DJ. I received video feedback from him stating some glaring mistakes in quant. He asked me to redo the NP and WP modules and set targets for me in the cementing quizzes. My scores in the quizzes improved after re-doing the modules. After observing the improvement, he sent me a day wise plan for the final fifteen days. I maintained an error log for every question I got incorrect. I used the same to revisit the learnings from every question one day before the exam. I took the last mock a week before the exam and scored 750 (Q49, V42). In the last week, I used the scholaranium to practice questions. The scholaranium provides amazing in-depth analysis of your strengths and weaknesses. I used to revise the summaries of quant modules that I was weak in daily. This time, I did not take a lot of pressure on the exam day as I had scored a decent 690. I went in with no expectations.


15th December 2021, 3 years, 6 months and three attempts later, was the day I was finally content with my GMAT score as I achieved 730 (Q48, V42) in my exam. I went from Q45 to Q48 in 30 days. It has been a tough journey with many disappointments along the way. There were so many times I thought of giving up but DJ and the people around me did not let me give up. Not once did I feel alone in this journey. DJ, thank you for your amazing and honest mentorship. I know I would not have been able to do this without you. Also, kudos to the e-GMAT team for creating the most structured course out there.

Hi AS1997,

Congratulations on your 730 but my elation at your score is heartfelt because I was there when you scored a 690 and I was there when we mutually decided to give it one last attempt. Your story makes me happy every single time I think of it. Students like you, drive me to do what I do so well. Thank you for working with me and believing in the advice I gave you.

I still remember that email you sent me post your 690 attempt and wanted to share it with everyone.

A lot of times in life as is in GMAT, things don’t go according to plan even when you are completely prepared for it. But potential and perseverance are the 2 qualities that are hallmarks of success too. You displayed both.

What does a sure-shot V39+ on the GMAT look like? Your dashboard is an ideal vision of how I predicted your potential and subsequent success.

I wish you all the best and do stay in touch.

Hi,
It's really good to see amazing feedback for e-gmat. Just wanted to understand that the mentorship provided by egmat is with online service of 299 $ or some other service ? Also wanted to understand that how many months of Subscription would be enough for me? I am working professional with 3.5 + years of work experience. I have given CAT this year but unfortunately didn't perform well and able to score 96.83 percentile only (Quant-98 + percentile). My concern area is verbal. I can devote atleast 2 hours in weekdays and 8-10 Hours on Weekend (6 Days Working).

Hey Anket,

Mentorship is not a part of the product right now but is an R&D Program we run here at e-GMAT.

The best way to understand where you want to go and the time it will take is to take a Mock. (44% of students do just this before deciding on their study partner/material) Once you do that, the improvement index will help you understand the quantum of work and time you will need to improve. Given your CAT scores, I am hopeful that you will certainly do well on the Mock too.

Reach out to us if you need ANY HELP at all at [email protected]. (You can just drop a line mentioning you got here based on this current conversation) I do look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Dhananjay(DJ)

I started my GMAT prep in August of 2021. I stumbled across an advertisement of e-gmat for a 1-1 consulting with a mentor (Anshul Biserya). I had no idea about e-gmat then. Anshul told me to take an e-gmat mock and then re-connect again with him. I score a 640 (Q48,V29) in that mock. Anshul pointed out that I was lacking conceptual knowledge in CR and SC since inspite of spending more than optimal time. He suggested that I start with concepts of CR and SC. He explained me how to structure my prep for each of the 2 sub section.
So here is how the e-gmat Modules are structured -
It starts with a master comprehension course. This module is like salt. Doing it won't really boost your score a lot, but not doing it can expose serious flaws across all three subsections in Verbal. It essentially teaches how to break sentences in to meaningful parts, aiding in extracting meaning of the sentence. This is forms base to solving SC and RC questions and helps to systematically deconstruct CR questions as well.
I then started with CR module.(for readers - I suggest start with SC) The CR module is quite detailed and teaches right from identifying premise, anti premise, conclusion etc to explaining how gmat introduces incorrect ans choice. So here's an important bit - All subtopics (assumptions, strengthen etc.) start with concept, then have a post assessment quiz and then an entire chapter of 5-6 questions (known as application module) to explain step by step how to approach each question.
Another very important trick that it teaches is the art of pre-thinking. The idea is very simple - Ask urself what are you looking for in the answer choice. IMHO it doesn't let the answer choice divert your thoughts from the argument and more importantly the authors conclusion and line of thinking.
Think of it this way - You want to bake a cake - Wouldn't it be easier to know the recipe, identify the ingredients and then go to the store to buy them rather than just directly going the store!!
It took sometime for me to grasp the art of pre-thinking, but it happens. And it's still improving!!!
The SC module is quite detailed as well. Pretty much covers all the bases. It introduces the meaning based approach. Meaning base approach simply asks us to first understand what the author is trying to communicate via the sentence and then go ahead with the error analysis and answer choice analysis.
What really stands out is that if you write to e-gmat with ur concerns about gmat prep, they most certainly will respond with a good solution.
So what happened is after every course i.e. SC, CR etc. I took multiple small quizzes of hard and medium level (e-gmat calls this cementing quizzes). I was scoring well within 70-80% weighted scores. So I was like yesss!!! finally I know what to do and how to answer correctly with some confidence. So i decided to give a mock (this was in end of September), the same mock I had initially given (I wanted to boost my confidence so decided to re-take the same mock) and guess what! I scored a 630 (Q47 V30)! I was shocked. How did that happen. So shell shocked i wrote to e-gmat team. Archit from e-gmat replied to me with a detailed video about my mock analysis. He mentioned that though i might have understanding of the concepts, i SEVERELY lack application in CR. So he gave me a plan for both CR and SC. I followed this plan properly. I went through the application files of all CR concepts again over the next few weeks, polished understanding of some of the tricky SC rules for modifiers etc. More importantly i made sure i go through the error log at-least once every 4 days.
Now come start of November, I gave another 15 question quiz for CR and SC (Hard + Medium). E-gmat calls these quizzes as Ability quiz. It gives a percentile score for the test. I scored an 88th percentile in SC and 92nd percentile in CR. I was happy. I now felt much more confident with SC and CR. For CR i was very sure that i can pre-think in 7/10 cases. So i went ahead and booked my GMAT test for Mid of December.
After scoring decent in the ability tests, I took 2 Sigma-X mock over a period of week (It was end of November by then). I scored a 650 (Q42, V37) and 700 (Q49,V36). My 700 score was exactly 9 days before my exam date. I was gaining some confidence now. I kept doing my routine - give quizzes, create error log, revise error log and repeat.
Then out of now where Dhananjay (DJ) from e-gmat reached out to me 5 days before my gmat date. I was surprised that e-gmat keeps a granular check on who is scoring what! He told me that I could most certainly achieve a high score and that he is willing to help me with my prep over the next few weeks. He told me that e-gmat has a Last Mile Program (LMP)
I will tell you what this is -
Think of a T20 match. For the first 16 overs the team has played well and set up a good base for a strong finish. And then in the last 4 overs go boom bang boom and score a 200+ score.
The last 4 overs is where the LMP comes into play in our GMAT match. The aim is to get those 20-30 points in the finishing lap of the journey.
However, this plan actually requires 3-4 weeks, but Dhananjay tailored it to my timeline and gave me a 3-4 day plan. We had a session for analysing my my mock. He showed me where my next improvements could come from. He sent me a customised plan too later in the day. I followed the plan to the best possible manner. It did help me boost my SC score. DJ had pointed out in our discussion that i'm taking too long to solve medium level SC questions. So the plan he gave me for SC was helpful.
I scored a 710 in my actual GMAT (Q47,V39).
The Q47 was slightly disappointing.
Dhananjay is still working with me for the next jump and hopefully that will come soon.
Till then in E-GMAT style - HAPPY LEARNING!!

Hi T96,

Congratulations on your 710 and I hope you knock it out of the park with your next attempt! (No pun intended)

I enjoyed reading about how you looked at the course. It’s quite a unique viewpoint and deserves an equally unique response.

Imagine you are in an INDIA vs PAK match, with 20 runs to score in the last over. Now you can do it (because you are Virat Kohli) but you have never done it before and don’t know what it feels like. Enter MS Dhoni :D (A man who is as cool as cucumber under these pressure conditions, and has done it before quite a few times)

The LM Program is LIKE having Dhoni by your side in that last over 😊

Ultimately it comes down to predicting ability and I think showcasing the SC, CR quizzes you took will give others a great visual of what to look for –

When I first decided to prepare for GMAT exam, I wanted to do it strategically from the basics considering that being from a medical background, I've left behind my quant in 10th class only and also I've been from a hindi medium background till my 12th standard.
To start from the basics, I've researched about so many online course providers of GMAT and the reason why I chose EGMAT was that I liked how they always focus on you mastering the concepts and going deep into the topics not just superficially getting it right anyway.

I would say when I started verbal course, I found master comprehension course to be a blessing for me because that course gave me confidence that I can do well in verbal because I could think or apply strategies in the problems after understanding them.
SC course was specifically good because of its meaning based approach and mainly elimination approach that was really a time saving strategy for me.
CR questions made all the sense to me with prethinking because I was able to connect the dots in the author's reasoning which without prethinking seemed tricky.
RC was a strong point for me after I started comprehending passages well, I not only focused on the meaning but also focused on how author is making transitions through keywords and paragraph by paragraph and this was possible because of the reading strategies I learned through the course.

For Quant course, I would only want to say that the process skills and understanding what process skills are, what process skills you're generally weak at and improving them with the right strategy was everything that worked magically for me.

The support I've received from egmat was not only limited to the concept courses but I would like to mention the most underrated feature of EGMAT that I feel is its forum. in the forum you can actually find all the answers to your queries about the questions already asked and replied by EGMAT team and whenever you post a new question, you get a reply promptly. I got a chance to interact with nava, anshul, archit, aditee and also Dhananjay and I'm grateful for the whole team for the immense support throughout the journey.

I would like to end my review with a thing I broadly loved about the EGMAT approach is that you don't need any short tips and tricks to ace any exam, you just need to have a right mindset and prepare yourself strategically, identifying and working on every single problem you face and your GMAT success story is not very far away with the right approach.

Again, A big thanks to whole EGMAT Team, cheers!

Dear Nikhil,

Congratulations on scoring a 730 on your first attempt. Your journey is a very good example of students who have enrolled for the course. I was going through your eGMAT account and 1 saw that your success was inevitable and predictable. Why do I say so? Let’s see:

1. Course Completion and Cementing: You followed the eGMAT learning architecture and completed both Verbal and Quant courses well. The icing on top of the cake was doing Cementing well. Your accuracies in the Medium and Hard questions were great.

Please refer to the screenshot here: https://success.e-gmat.com/course-stats

2. Post doing Stages 1 and 2 of learning, you made sure to do Test Readiness and also closed out on mocks.

Please refer to the screenshot here: https://success.e-gmat.com/test-readiness-mocks

Honestly, if a student does these steps diligently, he will succeed and your efforts and score are a testament to that.

A great job done, and I am very happy for you!

All the best for y our next steps and career goals. Take care.

Regards,

Atreya

For me, GMAT preparation started with me dabbling in different available study materials, instead of a systematic approach. Although I did do my research before purchasing e-GMAT's online course, my casual approach in preparations would continue for some more time. During this period, however, my understanding of Sentence Correction improved gradually.
When I started out, Sentence Correction seemed like the only difficult segment for me. But thanks to the detailed study materials and ample test materials available on the e-GMAT platform, I ended up scoring a 99th percentile in my first GMAT attempt. I faltered on things that I always thought I had covered and hence did not put in the requisite effort. The only reason I could score a 99th percentile on the section that should have been my biggest weakness is that I spent almost 70% of my preparation time on this section (both concepts and short tests in Scholaranium). So, if you are willing to put in the necessary effort, e-GMAT will provide you the guidance- things like Meaning-based approach and Strategic pausing proving most helpful for me

The Sigma-X mocks are also a pretty accurate representation of the actual test.

Talking of guidance, Dhananjay (aka DJ) from the e-GMAT team deserves a special mention as well- he helped me streamline my preparation in the week prior to the test and has continued to support with a detailed analysis of my test performance.

Dear Aditya,
Thank you for the special mention, it warms my heart that you found my advice helpful. Congratulations on the 710 too! 😊

Scoring the 99th percentile on SC is no easy feat and takes three important components –

1) Understand the meaning and structure of a sentence inside out
2) Being able to translate that information into actionable information to make decisions on which grammatical errors to weed out
3) Visualise each answer choice and not fall in common traps

The secret sauce however was the “Pause Points” approach. Most people skip these files, but only the smarter ones stick with them.

I scheduled my first GMAT test in mid October 2021. Just 3 weeks before the test, I was in panic. I realized that I have a concept gaps particularly on SC. I looked through multiple reviews in GMATClub and decided to take e-GMAT course.

The e-GMAT course is phenomenal. The structured and comprehensive curriculum, the question banks and analytics platform are really exceptional. My favorite is scholaranium, which has amazing analysis on your strengths and weaknesses.

I took all the verbal courses in a very short period and I wish that I could take it much earlier in my prep journey. I realized that my prep was not optimal yet at that time, but I decided to go ahead for my first GMAT attempt. As a result, I got below expectation score of 670 (Q49 V31).

1 week post the exam, the e-GMAT team reached out and offered me a seat in the 'Last Mile Program' - a mentor-guided program to prepare your next GMAT exam within 15-60 days.

DJ is the mentor assigned to me and he is very great and super helpful. He analyzed my ESR and came up with targeted plan for the next few weeks, focusing on SC and CR. He shared weekly milestones on SC and CR, pointing out targeted courses that I need to retake - the most important ones are the master comprehension and meaning based approach for SC. He also highlighted to me the importance of error log (using e-GMAT structured error log template) - I was skeptical earlier, but after few tries, I realized that it was very helpful in really going deep to understand areas, skill-sets or processes that I faltered.

During my last 2-3 weeks prior to the test, DJ guided me to do Quant Test Readiness and the last mile plan. It was very targeted to refresh and further sharpen my quant skills. The last mile plan was helpful in building my test readiness skills as well as my confidence.

I took my next GMAT attempt on early December and scored 710 (Q50 V35). Thanks to DJ and the e-GMAT team in helping me throughout my GMAT journey.

Hey adrian123,

Congratulations on finally breaking the 700 barrier - it hasn’t come easy. I know it because you have seen both a V31 & a V33, you were always within striking distance of this score. It was a unique challenge because you had already used the course and, in your mind, you had done everything to score well in Verbal, in fact in the call I had with you – you believed so with uncanny resilience (A quality only prevalent in the best test-takers)

Your SC ability plagued you at this point and it was the one thing standing in your way of scoring better on Verbal.

SC Issues from ESR: https://success.e-gmat.com/SC-Ability-Gaps-Adri

The diligence with which you went through the Master Comprehension course that contain hour-long sessions with Payal showed me that you wanted to change this. The deal clincher here was your error log that takes hours and hours of work to create – but you did it. Your hard work finally paid off when you took cementing quizzes and comfortably crossed the benchmark.

Little by little I could see you gain confidence and that translated to an improved Verbal score. My engagement with you in the Last Mile Program came to fruition and we finally conquered the challenge, TOGETHER.

Congratulations again!

Regards,
Dhananjay(DJ)

I am a hard believer of outsourcing things, because if you have experts in the market who can provide products with 10X quality and in 1/10th of your time, it make sense to buy the product (if it's affordable to you), rather than labouring yourself. When I appeared for my first mock test on MBA.com and scored 620, I very well understood that I need to get some GMAT course, which can help me fairly improve my score. Then came the question of which product to buy, and so, I did an extensive research by attending webinars, taking demo classes, talking to peers and senior and also reading reviews and feedback on online platforms, and through this I came to know that egmat is the answer to my quest

As soon as I got my login credentials to egmat, I was really happy to see that egmat helps you prepare a detailed timeline of how your preparation should go for a particular score improvement that you are looking at. And trust me, planning is important, as 'failing to plan, is planning to fail'. I spend a day at planning my course with the help of egmat, and ensured that I made a holistic and flexible plan, which is executable by humans.

I started my preparation and delved directly into the SC portion of the Verbal module (this was my weakest zone and I wanted to face my fear first). The course of egmat is so well structured and scientifically designed that it will hand-hold you right from understanding the basics of a concept to solving 750 level questions. The whole egmat course is so designed that you first have a pre quiz, then the actual concept and finally the post quiz. The post quiz checks how well you have understood the concept and if there are still any gaps, you are asked to revise the concept. So, egmat does not allow you any escape gates, and you leave one concept, only when you have cemented the fundamentals of it. The step wise step guide which you are taught to solve a verbal question is foolproof and as you practice more and more questions in the Scholaranium, you will start seeing a massive increase in your pace.

I also had certain gaps in my quants section, specially the data insufficiency questions and wanted to fill those gaps surgically. I quickly steered through all the concepts in quants and delved into the Scholaranium for practising questions. And trust me on this, Scholaranium is the Bible for you. You don't need any other material, if you have practised all the questions in Scholaranium. The Scholaranium 2.0 is designed to incorporate all the OG questions as well as gives you the flexibility to chose the type of questions you want to pratice, so that the gaps can be plugged surgically, and you don't waste a lot of time unnecessarily.

Finally, just before the D-Day, I just revised the summary PDFs which I got at the end of every concept and then I was exam ready. So, if your concepts are cemented and you have practised a substantial number of questions, you can ace the GMAT exam without feeling the pressure in the centre. This is how egmat helped me and I wanted you guys to know that it was bang for my buck.

I enrolled with EGMAT after getting a 720. However, I started from scratch after a gap of 6 months. The course stood out clearly on 3 fronts -
1)It clearly identified where I was going wrong - The platform interface along with the large question bank gave me critical insights over a sustained period of time of problem areas. Not only was I able to identify areas where there was a knowledge gap but was also able to identify question areas where I was taking too long to respond

2)Step by Step Guidance - During the preparation, one is bound to feel lost when the scores stagnate but I constantly kept getting feedback from the Mentors as to what steps could be followed to push up my score and this helped me in keeping my confidence and not feel directionless.

3) Course Structure - The course for both quant and verbal is streamlined to ensure that your time is utilized efficiently. With clear emphasis on steps and processes for both Quant and Verbal - the learning curve for variety of questions is very sharp.

I would recommend EGMAT for anyone who is looking to get a score improvement and mentorship when they get stuck with average scores

Hi Archit,

Congratulations on the 740 score!

It was commendable how open you were to learning a structured approach despite having a 720 with other methods. I remember from our discussion how you felt the need to plug all the gaps in your conceptual understanding and learn an approach that you could consistently apply to questions.

Your course stats show the diligence and that is further reflected in Scholaranium scores.

Quant Scholaranium Dashboard: https://success.e-gmat.com/Quant-Scholaranium-Dashboard

When you consistently perform on the course and on Scholaranium we know that you will do well on the test too. Add to this the diligence and willingness to succeed that you demonstrated through out. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that you will do well.

We wish you the best for your future!

My GMAT prep journey has not been a simple journey of progress. It was a lot longer than I had expected it to be. Preparing for verbal was the biggest hurdle for me to achieve a good GMAT score.

In Sep-20, I started preparing for GMAT by solving OG questions (Yes, it was the first big mistake I made). One month after, I took e-GMAT free Sigma-X Mock test to gauge my level and scored 660. I really liked the quality of questions and the free content so decided to subscribe to their course but only purchased their verbal course instead of the entire course (the second big mistake as I didn't get any sigma mock tests with it to gauge my level before attempting GMAT). For the next 2 months, I went through the entire course and attempted most of the Scholoranium questions. Finally, took my GMAT in Jan-21 and scored 680. Disappointed with my performance, I stopped my preparation for a couple of months (the third big mistake).

In May-21, I regained my confidence and started preparing for GMAT again. Now here comes the fourth big mistake which was the biggest among all. I thought that I had already gone through the e-GMAT course so now it’s time for self-study and solving a lot of questions would help me break that 700 barrier. Following this strategy relentlessly for 4 months, I took my GMAT again in Sep-21 only to score a disheartening 660 (V29).

The very next day I emailed the e-GMAT support team and asked for help (the first right thing I did). Now comes the good part of the journey. To my surprise, we exchanged a lot of emails on weekend. DJ asked me for ESR and analyzed it for me. He shared with me a high-level plan.

Since I had already gone through the course, the plan had to be personalized for me. DJ along with verbal experts created one for me. I first went through the new MC course along with the webinars conducted by Payal, which were an eye-opener for me. Following the pausing strategy, my approach to look at complex sentences changed. This helped me in all sections- SC, CR, and RC. We then moved to SC. DJ inculcated in me the meaning-based approach and made sure that I follow it while solving questions. He asked me to look at the incorrect attempted questions, create error logs and solve correct attempted questions by following the meaning-based approach. We followed a similar plan to instill Pre-thinking approach for CR. He also asked me to do Revision-B for all sections to brush up on all concepts. After passing the cementing quizzes, DJ then introduced me to the test readiness stage. I believe this is the most important stage to break that 700 barrier. Scholaranium is a great platform to successfully complete this stage. The different types of quizzes, detailed explanations, xPert suggested strategic review process, and the level of data insights takes the experience to another level. Following the strategic review process, I attempted the Sigma-X mocks one by one. The mocks proved to be quite accurate and similar to the real GMAT exam. After these intense exercises, DJ was convinced that I am ready to take the exam. Finally, he shared with me the tasks for the week before GMAT. I took the exam and finally scored 710.

I believe that it is the real day pressure and anxiety which can affect one’s score by 10-20 points. Nonetheless, I could finally cross that 700 barrier. All thanks to DJ and the entire team for making this possible for me!

I would suggest everyone to follow a methodological approach if you’re not able to improve (instead of solving a lot of questions) and trust the e-GMAT process and diligently follow it. It may not be easy for everyone but eventually, it will lead to success. Also, do not hesitate to get in touch with the team even if the process is not working out for you. The entire team is very supportive. They will help you understand what’s going wrong and will guide you in the right direction. I wish I did not have to learn it the hard way. Do not give up. All the best!

A long and not so smooth journey to 730

I started my rather long journey of GMAT studies in August 2020. At first, I took a course from another test prep company. In December 2020, I took my first attempt and scored 640. After that, I came across E-gmat. My friends had also recommended me this course. I scheduled a consultation call with them and I bought the Verbal and Quant package. Fast forward to November 2021, I took the test again and I scored a 730 (V41,Q49).

When I started preparing from E-GMAT, I had to unlearn some concepts, especially in Verbal, and learn some new tricks in Quants. E-GMAT course is very intensive but at the same time, it helps you have that strong concept base. What made E-GMAT stand out for me was the course structure , the practice questions , and a clear path forward.

Highlights about Verbal course :

The Verbal course is just phenomenal. It covers all the concepts that you need to know in the GMAT exam. It is structured in a very coherent manner and it is very easy to follow from one sub module to another. The course starts with the Master Comprehension course which gives us essential reading strategies which make our life so much easier !

Sentence Correction module was a very helpful module. The concepts taught as a part of this course didn't seem like rocket science, this was because the course is very student friendly and easy to follow through. Especially the Meaning based approach taught in Sentence Correction module is the only way I feel that one should approach this question type. I have honestly tried using other methods like elimination. But, from what I have observed and applied in the actual test , only the Meaning based approach works ! And it works absolutely flawlessly.

The Critical Reasoning course was an eye opener for me personally because having taken the GMAT once before , I never knew the step by step approach that one needs to follow to solve the CR questions. Before the E-GMAT course , I used to jump into the CR section without having any strategy or framework in my mind. The E-GMAT CR course teaches the very Step by Step process which is needed for getting a high accuracy on the CR questions. The Prethinking approach is the most helpful takeaway from the entire section. As it is taught in the course , we must fight the urge to jump straight into option choices before analysing the argument. I cannot emphasize enough on importance of following the step-by-step approach! It is just that great :)

The Reading Comprehension section was especially helpful for me since I was not an avid reader and had never read so many fact-heavy and inference-heavy passages in my life before. The key reading strategies, if followed to the details, will help you to reduce the reading time and at the same time will increase your comprehension ability exponentially.

To conclude, If I had realized it sooner that the methodologies and the step-by-step approach taught be E-GMAT is the only way forward, I would have cut my preparation time in half. But as it is said, better late than never! Honestly, the day I realized that if I apply the process skills taught to me during the course exactly as they have been taught to me , my time management problems disappeared and my accuracy started improving.

Highlights about the Quant 2.0 course:

This course is genuinely the only thing you need for GMAT Quant. There is absolutely no reason to refer to other sources once you have taken this course and have seriously gone through the course. The Quant 2.0 module is a module in which you can adapt the course as per your expertise. The course gives personalized feedbacks along the way, which I think was the most important part of my preparation. The GMATSkills files and Practice Files covered all the tricky ways in which the questions could be phrased.

Mid August 2021 , I was also selected for the Last Mile Program(LMP) . I was assigned a mentor to guide me through till my target score. Mr Atreya Roy was my mentor and he guided me at every step. He also provided me personalized feedback and gave me a list of actionable steps. He also analysed my mocks and provided me a video mentioning the entire analysis and the areas of improvement. He also shared detailed plan of improvement. He was my point of contact for the entire 3 months and he helped me with any queries I had during this time :) I would say LMP is a really nice initiative to help students get where they wish to be!!

Finally , I would like to say that the team of experts at E-GMAT is extremely helpful and they respond to any queries that you may have in the least time possible. Each question in E-GMAT has a separate discussion thread and most of my questions were already answered ! Even If I didn't have any query , just going through the discussions gave me so much more insights into different ways of solving the problems.

The SIGMAX mocks are really close to the actual GMAT. The quality of verbal and quant questions are very similar to the quality of questions in the actual test. The Quant questions specifically are very close in terms of concepts tested and the difficulty level. For me , the test taking experience was rather smooth because I had already taken the SIGMAX mocks and I didn't feel that the actual test was a whole different game. Overall , the feedback provided after every mock was very informative and it guided me towards the next steps.

I would say that had I taken the e-gmat course earlier , my prep time would have been reduced by more than half. This is a one stop solution for the GMAT !!

Hardwork + E_GMAT leading to improvement to 720 from 600

I had been wanting to give the GMAT since a few years and finally started my preparation post pandemic year of 2020. Like every other aspirant, I took the official guides as my source of truth and started to understand more about the exam, the sections and what are the types of questions there are.

With the initial learnings and basic ideas into the paper, I took the leap of faith to give a diagnostic test and scored a 600. This made me sure that I had to dig deeper into the concepts of both the Verbal and Quant sections if I need to have a serious chance of cracking the GMAT. That is when I started to research about various GMAT online programs that I can avail to re-run all the concepts and build expertise around the sections. With detailed research and a free counselling session by E-GMAT folks, I enrolled into E-gmat during April 2021 to now dedicatedly focus on my preparation.

What makes E-GMAT stand out?
The entire syllabus of the GMAT exam is intricately broken down in the E-GMAT platform, with each section having sequential learnings transpiring from initial concept to application and then trickling down to increased ability and expertise. Both sections for Verbal and Quant have detailed video learnings for each topic and sub-topic, along with pre and post assessment quizzes to re-impose the concept.

Enhancing these video learnings into actual problems from each difficulty was imposed perfectly by the Scholaranium 2.0 platform, which gave detailed insights into your quiz attempts as well as provides data points to identify areas of strengths and weakness. Rigorous effort put into SC, CR and Quant section from my end helped me understand my concepts better and build a solid base for my GMAT exam.

Another factor that gave me good exam practice and confidence were the Sigma X mocks, in which I transitioned from the diagnostic score of 600 to a 720 with the improved learnings and concepts learnt over a span of 2 months. The mocks are very close to the actual GMAT exam and provide you the right opportunities to apply your skills and manage time in a simulated exam-type experience. The 5 mocks given in my course helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and revise and redo concepts accordingly for my main exam.

The Last Mile Program (LMP)
With the score improvement to 720 in my mocks, I got an opportunity to work with E-GMAT Mentor team (Aditee), who looked at all the data that is present in my E-GMAT portal and guided me to have a dedicated approach to reach my target score and help ace the GMAT in the official attempt as well. Aditee introduced me to the concepts of strategically logging my errors in error-logs which massively helped me to revisit my errors and ensure that I try not repeating the same in any of my future questions!
The team also guided me improve my score from a 680 (first attempt with a CR dip) and help bring my verbal score from a V32 to V40 with guided improvements in CR to finally help me get my target score of 720.

I would strongly recommend the E-GMAT course to all students who want to focus on the detailed concepts provided by the amazing online platform and wants to practice GMAT questions across with Scholaranium and Sigma X Mocks for a complete GMAT experience. All the best!

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for being a part of the eGMAT family. Congratulations on your 720.

On reflecting back this is not just a 40-point improvement but a 120-point improvement from 600 to 720! Your journey was a roller-coaster ride. There were several highs and lows and there were 2 things that ensured this success:

Diligence – You took feedback from the system every time your score was not where we wanted it to be and improved. If the system showed that you were weak in a particular concept, you did not shy away from revising it multiple times till you understood it well. Not just that you never got complacent with good scores.

Course Diligence : https://success.e-gmat.com/CR-Course-Diligence

Belief in yourself and the course – Even when your mock score took a hit you continued to believe that you can make it to the 700 club and that e-GMAT is going to be the partner for that journey. Your course and Scholaranium data were there to reinforce that you had the potential to do well.

We wish you the best for your applications and MBA journey.
