My journey with GMAT started about an year back. At that time, I relied primarily on the official guide and self-study. As I familiarized myself with the basics, I took a couple of gmat prep mocks and scored a 690 and 720. With a 700 plus mock result I felt confident to take the actual test and booked GMAT online exam. However, my actual result were in stark contrast to my mocks. I scored a 650!

Given the stark variance in my target and actual score it was clear to me that I needed professional help and that’s when I reached out to Piyush from GMATWhiz. Through Piyush I got introduced to Sunita ma’am and we started working together to build my verbal skills.

From day 1 itself, I was pleasantly surprised with how structured the GMATWhiz approach was. The whole structured aspect of approaching questions helped improve my accuracy in verbal pretty quickly. However, I continued to struggle with solving questions under two minutes (especially for CR). That’s where Sunita ma’am really helped me identify and iron out areas taking more time than usual to solve. Post preparing with GMATWhiz, In my second attempt I scored 730.

The GMATWhiz module is quite comprehensive with detailed solutions that cover various concepts in-depth. I really relied upon the whiz question bank to practice on harder questions. Also, on the platform I could keep track of my weak areas continuously, helping me iteratively improve on those areas.

Overall, the GMATWhiz verbal private tutoring helped me in improving my score from V29 to V41. I must callout Sunita ma’am role in making this happen. I would highly recommend this course. Best of luck to the team at GMATWhiz.

The AI-based platform is well integrated and all the necessary modules are covered well for the initial part of the preparation.
The AI engine is also good at finding your weakness automatically from your practice questions so that you won't have to. This makes the progress faster.
But do not believe the practice test scores, the only true measurement of how you are performing is official OG and nothing comes close. Take the predicted score with a grain of salt and make your own evaluation of what is good for you.
That being said, the platform acts as a good assistant in your initial phases of preparation is much better than Magoosh.

I definitely enjoyed working with Sunita to improve my verbal score. Having sat for the exam 3 times, I was stuck at 720 and wasn't sure how to break that barrier. Sunita was able to point out my overthinking and how to improve the verbal section in a very systematic way. I never understood RC better. Everyone may have heard the 'meaning-based' approach but having one-on-one time with Sunita makes it so much clearer. Every single detail/mistake was pointed out. I was much more confident on RC and verbal in general this 4th time so there was less anxiety, translating to better exam score.

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!
