Having tried more than three GMAT prep courses (including e-GMAT), I think I can write an honest review on this one. The course, apart from being structured and projectized, which most are these days is unique and holds a distinctive which almost all the others lack. The versatility and comprehensiveness. Versatile because their pedagogy does not limit itself to a certain cadre of students. It holds the potential to cover a born student to a made one. At the outset their process of deconstructing the sentence, framework driven CR technique and evolved reading mechanism are some things, to name, that helped me reach my dream score of V41. And comprehensive, as , it covers quant with equal excellence as it does verbal. Apart from teaching the right set of questions, they have proven their ingenuity, by providing areas of common pitfalls in not just mainstream DS traps but also in every other sect (of 750 level questions) and PS problems. All this helped me achieve a whopping score of 740.

I would strongly recommend anybody, novice or not, to go for this course.

If you are reading reviews of test prep companies on Gmatclub, then there is a good chance that you already have enrolled with a gmat test-prep company and you think that your choice has not been a correct one. I was at a similar stage in my gmat journey when I came across a video of Piyush from GmatWhiz.

Before starting my preparations with GmatWhiz I had spent around 3 months in my gmat prep and had purchased a course from a popular self-proclaimed GmatGodman and another from one of the most popular gmatprep online company. What I had learnt until then were some shortcuts, tricks, and question formats covered in these courses - ticks such as one should focus on tone changing words and baselessly eliminate answer choices with superlatives in RC, in SC mindless selection of answer choice with an absolute phrase and blind elimination of options containing "being" , and many other such tricks that hardly result in quality performance on a real GMAT test. For quant, the courses that I had done until then did not have sufficient variety of “hard’ questions. Thus I did not have a correct approach towards the test and resorted to shortcuts and ticks. As a result I had a below average performance, and I was scoring around 600 on the mocks.

By August end, I was completely hopeless with my GMAT prep as my target score was 650 and the planned test date was 11th September, and I was consistently scoring only 600 on the mocks.

Then around August end, I got a chance to interact with Piyush and my mindset about GMAT was totally changed in this one discussion. Piyush emphasised on everything that I had cut corners around and had not done until now - for example: not skimming but thoroughly understanding the RC passages, spending sufficient time on SC questions to properly understand the intended meaning, understanding every word of CR passages, practicing hard quant questions, and ensuring to not to make careless mistakes on the quant. Hoping to learn something concrete, I enrolled with GMAT Whiz for a 10 day course (as I had booked my GMAT exam on 11th September) that included their AI delivered lessons and guidance by the mentors.

In the first four days of this course I understood that why any shortcuts, tricks, or guessing-patterns DO NOT help If one wants to score above average on GMAT. Knowledge of the concepts, analytical reading, correct approach, and proper understanding of the questions enable one to get his or her target score. During this course, I was taught how to properly read during GAMT so that I do not need to re-read - something which totally changed my approach towards the entire test. By developing this ability to throughly understand questions and choices in just one good read, I was able to not only correctly mark the questions but also to save a lot of time that earlier use to be spent on re-reading almost every thing. In 600+ level sentence correction questions, intended meaning plays the most important part, and GMAT Whiz SC module enables one to understand the intended meaning of even “Very-Hard” difficulty level SC questions in just one read. Once the intended meaning is clear then by quick application of simple grammar rules and logic, which are also covered in much detail in this course, one can easily and quickly arrive at the correct answer choice.

The quant section on GMAT Whiz covers the best quant concepts and has a variety of question types of all difficulty levels. The ability to correctly attempt hard level questions is really important if one wants to cross Q46 and I am so glad that I practiced all the quant questions on GMAT Whiz platform, on which around 40% quant questions have “hard” difficulty. Unlike like the other test-prep companies that said high accuracy in medium-level questions will be enough for my target score, Gmat Whiz and Piyush insisted that hard difficulty will be the deciding factor. I realised this on the test day - if one is performing above 600 on the GMAT, then around 40-45% quant questions will be of Hard difficulty.

I joined the GMAT Whiz course on 1st September, and on 11th September I wrote the GMAT and scored 660 - within 10 days my performance improved by 60 points! I credit Piyush and Gmat Whiz for this improvement because their emphasis on “developing a correct approach” enabled me to change my mindset and to develop the right approach towards this test.

Piyush and Saquib from Gmat Whiz also have really good knowledge about business schools across the globe. Post GMAT, Piyush and Saquib helped me with my applications. Under their guidance, I applied to B-schools. I was really amazed by their quality of support for application questions, essays, and interview-perp because I was able to convert 5 really good B-schools - Rotterdam School of Management, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Cranfield University - UK, IIM-Calcutta, and HHL Leipzig, and got a waitlist from Warwick Business School.

I find myself lucky that I did my gmat prep with Gmat Whiz and also worked with them on my applications. I am going to join Rotterdam School of Management in January 2021 and I cannot express in words how grateful I feel to have met Piyush and Saquib :)

Gmatwhiz is an extremely meticulous and comprehensive course. Gmatwhiz is designed in a manner that it focuses on effective learning of the students. It basically divides every topic into three modules viz. Videos, concept booster and finally practice set. The whole aim of this division is to fill the gap between learning and application of a concept.
Further, the course is complete in its content i.e it comprises of both teaching of a concept and provides practice questions for the concept. The course also has a large question bank wherein you get to practice questions a varied spectrum of question from different concepts. People preparing for GMAT must surely go ahead with the course.

GmatWhiz made me realize that there is more to learn other than the concepts to score well on GMAT. I was not really aware of any strategies to solve GMAT questions before. But once I started studying using GMATWhiz, I got to many strategies which helped me solve questions under optimum time. The personalized study plan helped me stay focused right till the end and the organization of concepts made it really to easy for me to study a particular topic on a given day.

The way of teaching is something I have to really admire. After every concept video, there is a concept booster and practice quiz which help you solidify your understanding. The detailed solutions provided for each question helped me compare my approach with the right one and nullify the gaps if any. And the questions provided in QWizard helped me take timed quizzes. I really liked this feature because the main thing I tried to focus in my last month of preparation is the timing. I gradually reduced the time limit for every quiz and then increased the level of difficulty.

And not the least, the mentorship provided by the team is really helpful. There were times when I felt low and when I thought of giving up but the motivation and guidance provided by Piyush helped me reach my target.

Back in May, before I even began my preparation for GMAT, I attempted the first official practice test and scored 410, which in a way created a mental barrier about how much I could possibly score in the actual test, even with sufficient preparation. While I was trying out a few courses, I spoke to Piyush from GMATWhiz and told him about the aforementioned score. Based on my profile, he recommended a target of 680, which honestly, I was sceptical about achieving. Nevertheless, I went ahead with GMATWhiz as my choice of course since I found the video lessons very engaging as well as immensely useful on account of the content covering every topic right from the absolute basics. The feature that pretty much sealed the deal was the personalized analytics and recommendation engine (my job involved making recommendations to my company’s business partners based on individual performance metrics, which made this quite relatable).

I started my preparation and used the course in the exact sequence that it asks to, focussing on one section at a time. Saquib, who had been assigned to me as the strategic mentor guided me on conquering my weaknesses, especially with Quant, where I needed assistance the most. His recommendations on individual concepts, on external sources for questions as well as a detailed review of one of the official practice tests that I took, helped me identify and plug gaps. The verbal section, especially CR, is explained beautifully and trains the student very well on spotting fallacies and flaws in reasoning, which is what critical reasoning is all about. The recently added Score Predictor provides a fairly accurate range of what one’s actual score can be and was very useful. After a gruelling four-month preparation marathon, I scored 680 on the actual exam, which is exactly what Piyush had recommended. I’m highly satisfied with the score and with GMATWhiz and I recommend the course anyone who aims to tame the beast called GMAT.

GMAT whiz was launched just last year and it has already helped many students achieve their GMAT goals. I was fortunate enough to help review the course for a few weeks after the launch while I was preparing for GMAT myself. The platform is AI enabled and the course adapts per your abilities. They have a pre test before a chapter and based on your weak areas, it suggests the chapters you need to go through to solidify your concepts. I definitely recommend this course to anyone who is clear about being thorough with their fundamentals and understanding the various strategies to attack a question in both quant and verbal.

I started using GMATWhiz earlier this year to move my score up from 700 to a higher threshold. Here are my thoughts on the platform:

1) Verbal: The framework that GMATWhiz provides for CR, RC and SC is fantastic. It clearly defines concepts, and most importantly tells you which kinds of questions and which kinds of incorrect answers to expect. For me applying these two methodologies really helped me to be comfortable with the verbal section, and efficiently understand the patterns that GMAT tests. That being said, the verbal question bank
was, according to me, quite average. To be fair, I found it to be comparable to those of other test prep sources such as Kaplan and Veritas Prep. I think the verbal question banks of each prep source apart from Official GMAT questions need to be taken with a pinch of salt- GMAC spends around $3000 per question, so it is no surprise that the verbal questions of other prep providers are not exact matches.

2) Quant: The quant section was extremely detailed and felt nothing was left amiss. To be quite frank, it was so detailed that I thought I was being overtrained. Nevertheless I stuck to the GMATWhiz prep and it eventually paid off when I saw a question on that actual GMAT that I thought would never be there; thanks to the "overtraining" I was well prepared for it. I found the questions on average to be of higher difficulty than actual GMAT questions, which I thought was advantageous in the long run.

General comments:
The team is quite helpful and accommodated calls with me late into the night to account for the time difference. Saquib Hasnain, my assigned mentor, was also supportive when I bombed the first GMAT and provided solid test day advice.

Conclusion:
I would highly recommend this prep source!

When applying to Mannheim University I saw the Term GMAT for the first time in my life. I did my research and just went for it, bought the test, scheduled an appointment and started studying. I have not solved one math problem since 2015. I had to relearn everything because it was just too long ago. My English speaking was always good but as everybody will learn that doesnt really help your verbal score. I took my first practice test (official) before starting to study and was really embarrassed because I scored a 310. That was the point when I decided to go for GmatWhiz. I really liked the Webinars so I knew they will be a good source. Well 6-7 weeks later, I studied for approx 5 hours a day on average, took 2 weeks off work. The crazy thing is also that I was already admitted but needed to provide the GMAT results to approved in the end.
About GmatWhiz
I really liked the guys. I am very impressed about Saquib (i hope i didnt butcher his name) math skills. The section and topics are very well organized and give you a very good intro into each topic, for quant and verbal. It is quite frustrating in quant sometimes to practice because the questions get very fast very difficult (for me). Even when it is explained in the video it is sometimes just hard to follow because all of my math from Uni already forgotten.
In general I can really recommend GmatWhiz. They have a fair price and are always available to contact or set up a meeting if there is anything you need.
Good luck to everyone and happy studies!

GMAT Wiz is the only platform I used in order to prepare my exam for roughly 2 months and it played a pivotal role in helping me score a 700 on my first attempt.
The website has numerous helpful tips and strategies for both verbal and quant. The system quickly identifies your strong and weak points in order to create a personalized course.
There are live webinars held multiple times a week covering different aspects where there is a real dialogue between the teachers and students/clients.
The user interface is friendly and provides in depth analyses of your performance. Over time as you complete different practices and quizzes the website will give you an estimated quant and verbal score which on my end were rather accurate.
I strongly recommend this course to anyone looking to prepare the GMAT.

GMATWhiz course stands apart because of its ability to customize as per one’s strengths and weaknesses. For a newbie, the biggest challenge is to plan without much information about what to study and how much time to dedicate. This problem is completely solved with the GMATWhiz course as it provides a complete schedule for the entire duration of the preparation using AI.

The lectures are extremely detailed and appropriately paced. The questions provided are as per the GMAT standard and the explanations are very informative. There are loads of questions to practice from.

The most amazing part was the constant support provided by Piyush Beriwala sir. He would not only help me understand the exam better but also motivate me during the lows.

Even the private tutoring sessions with Sunita Singhvi ma’am were a good opportunity to truly learn one’s grasp on concepts.
I made the right choice with GMATwhiz.
