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.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
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.
The aim of the course is to guide the student to reach a higher level of preparation not only in terms of content but also in terms of strategy to face the exercises.
You start from basic knowledge to build some solid skills and then you improve with some specific,additional content.
The course provides specific methods and frameworks that at the beginning could be demanding in terms of effort but after a little while they reveal to be extremely helpful to be the most efficient possible during the exam.
The reading advices were valuable and the method provided helped me to remember the paragraphs after the first time.
The professional creators of this course are highly qualified to answer to all the questions you would like to ask them. They will never let you alone and the techniques and the tips given
will simplify a lot of calculation and effort.
I strongly suggest Gmatwhiz to everybody and even more my advice is to keep on using this course after taking Gmat to keep your brain fast and productive.
This Artificial Intelligence driven course is a one stop solution for working professionals . Quant and verbal both are equally good . The Concept booster and Practice quiz at the end of every module help a student understand the weak points at the very beginning . The AI driven course inroduces personalized modules based on the weakness of a particular student. The mentors are very friendly and helpful and they are reachable all the time. They even arrange for one to one video tutoring if a student fumbles on some concept. They track my performance from back end and enquire /give feedback about the same every week. This review is just a token of appreciation to the extensive hard work they are doing
I started my preparation and gave GMAT official mocks and scored around 640-680. But in real GMAT exam I failed miserably and scored a dismal 560 in my first attempt. I got disappointed and that time during my 2nd innings of GMAT preparation I got lucky enough and got access to GMAT Whiz online course.
The approach on CR is revolutionary with a prethinking framework for every type of CR questions such as Plan-Goal, Cause-Effect etc.It changed my approach towards solving CR questions. I was most benefited by the RC module of GMAT Whiz platform.I used to get pretty daunted and overwhelmed while solving 700 level RC questions and those passages used to take up a lot of time in mocks. The RC module changed my reading approach and my solving method of any RC passage changed drastically.The solutions of each questions provided in RC module is indeed a learning process which helped me improve my RC accuracy from 35 to 85% in real GMAT.
The basics of quant given in concept booster is very comprehensive in Quant module and the solution of the questions provided in the practice and diagnostic quiz helped me improve my timing and accuracy in quant.
I started focusing on my mistakes I made in the practice questions instead of practicing a lot of questions in a day. This helped me improve my accuracy of 130 points in 40 days and also grabbed an ISB admit of class of 2021.
Thanks to GMAT Whiz platform!!I strongly recommend who wants to make improvement in their approach and also with a strong determination to do well in GMAT!
