I was studying on and off for my GMAT before GMATWhiz for overall almost 7 months and 3 months of proper preparations with the Magoosh yearly plan and I scored 680 is my first attempt. Even though I scored 51 in Quant there was a huge amount of work needed to be done on Verbal side.

In order to cover that gap I started with GMATWhiz in early September' 22 with the aim to write GMAT by end of October'22. After 15 days into the course when I could realize the tips and tricks which I was unaware during my first attempt which definitely helped me in building up the accuracy firstly. I realized that how necessary it is to prepare for verbal if you are a non native speaker. Slowly once the accuracy was achieved we started to optimize on the time aspects.

After every connect with Saquib I used to be amazed at how clear guidance and detailed plan he used to provide. Preparing under tight deadlines was at time overwhelming, but the always calm and composed attitude of Saquib was always reassuring, it's just the kind of a confidence he showed. It helped me a lot to maintain the momentum during my preparation.

Overall it has a quite satisfactory experience as I achieved a final score of 730 in my second attempt in Nov' 2022. I'll highly recommend anyone who is looking for GMAT preparation.

I had invested more than a year of effort and two average attempts at GMAT before I discovered the GMATWhiz course.I honestly wish I had discovered the course sooner. The programme helped me realise where I was going wrong and what steps I needed to take to bridge gaps and improve my skills.

I strongly recommend this programme to everyone because it is designed to provide the benefits of both a self-paced programme and an in-person class room programme. Prior to GMATWhiz, I often felt uncertain of my abilities. But at GMATWhiz, it's all science, and there's nowhere to hide. The AI algorithm charts your plan and assigns you weekly responsibilities, the Whiz creates quizzes based on your strengths and weaknesses, and the dashboard keeps track of your progress. The team is prompt and thorough in responding to questions on the forum. All of this helps intelligently prepare for the exam and save on time and effort. I also benefitted greatly from check-ins with my mentor, who helped me realign and hone my skills.

Before GmatWhiz, I would usually lose track at the end of practice tests. I would focus too much on one topic and end up compromising on the others. It was an unending circle. However, at GMATWhiz the approach to practice tests is super efficient. First of all the GMATWhiz practice test, unlike other providers on the market, uses a similar algorithm to the original practise tests. The AI analyses your performance at the end of each test, charts recommendations in the form of videos to watch and exercises to practise, and provides an estimate of your score improvement if you follow the plan. They also feature an accurate score predictor that considers your performance throughout the course. My gmat scores matched the ones predicted on the platform.

The scientific approach to studying, end to end guidance and the quality of content is what truly sets this course apart from other players in the market. I am super happy with my experience and have continued with the team to take on admission consulting services.

Strengths:

Following are the strengths of this product:
Systematic approach to solving problems
Ample amount of practice questions in the course
Multiple mock tests available, on which you get a detailed review, along with marked areas of improvement
Detailed tutoring and guidance provided
I could complete the course in my own time and pace
Doubts and queries posted on the forum are answered within 24 hours

Would make the product better:

The RC section could use a few more sample passages

Overall, an outstanding GMAT prep course. For each module, I first had to complete a diagnostic test, based on which, I was given course material to complete. This approach was something that I really liked.

Each practice problem for quant had a detailed solution approach - video solutions for tougher problems as well.

For verbal, on the other hand, each question type in CR, RC and SC had its own systematic approach that was well-tested by some amazing mentors and program creators.

As I like to study on my own, in my own pace, this prep course was the perfect fit for me. The AI was great at giving constructive feedback and in case of any doubts, the tutors and mentors were always within reach. Each query never took more than 24 hours to get resolved.

I strongly recommend the prep course to anyone starting from scratch. I was able to get a 150 point increase within 3 months, thanks to the methodical prep course.

Attributing to the amazing support that the team provided, I also chose them for admissions consulting. To my surprise, the support there was even more extensive. I was initially lost, having only knowledge of the schools as per rankings. The consultants reviewed my profile, discussed my career path with me and then suggested schools that I could apply to, aligning with my career goals. They also helped with writing the essays and were a constant source of guidance and support throughout the application process.

Strengths:

AI based tutoring helps to identify and improve the weak areas

Before I was introduced to GMATWhiz I was preparing on my own by going
through books such as Manhattan and official guide and by practicing
questions from the GMAT club. My GMAT score was not good as I ended up
with only a 650. I wanted to apply for Round 2 and didn’t have much
time to prepare. As I was going through materials to improve my
concept knowledge, I came through a review of GMATWhiz and I was
intrigued by their AI based approach. I joined GMATWhiz and I found
the video classes to be very informative and the practice tests to be
well organized. The AI based mentoring system was pretty helpful as it
helped me to focus on my weak areas. Especially in quant, the
mentoring helped me gain a strong conceptual understanding and
confidence. Verbal videos were really informative and helped in
improving my approach towards RC and CR questions. Overall, the
sessions and the AI based tutoring were really helpful and within 2
months I could improve my score by 50 points. I was so satisfied by
their service that even now I am using their support in the Round 2
application process. The consulting has been useful to me in
submitting the applications on time as well as to prepare myself for
the interviews.

Strengths:

Precise, no bullshit, quality content filled product

Would make the product better:

Maybe offer some discounts on college consulting for 700+ achievers.

Before usimg GMATWhiz I was primarily using Manhatten online series, and I honestly felt that it's content was too broad and unnecessary in many areas. As I work in a remote location, it wasn't possible for me to take offline courses.

In my first attempt, when I was working with Manhatten, I could only score a 580 on 20th March. During the same period one of my friends scored a 650 by preparing from GMATWhiz, and he had high praises for the same. So I decided to give it a go and started preparing from GMATWhiz on 13th May, and I scheduled my 2nd attempt on 10th August.

Immediately after joining GMATWhiz, I was given a diagnostic test to analyse my levels of prep, and accordingly GMATWhiz chalked out a roadmap for me. As I worked in a steel plant where there where I had to work in irregular round the clock shift, I always had this issue of studying in fixed hours in any particular week. Therefore I was extremely pleased when I realized I could dynamically fix the study hours in any particular week. This weekly adjustment in turn dynamically adjusted the whole roadmap as well, which was really helpful for me, as I was able to ensure that I completed my preparation on time, and keep my preparation under check.

Apart from this, I personally was trughling a lot in Verbal section, but the best part of GMATWhiz was, after completing each topic, it asked me to solve OG questions, while it kept a track of the accuracy and time management I was having while solving them. This literally helped to accurately pinpoint which all topic I was actually struggling. Previously I always believed that I was steong and weak in some aspects, whereas the AI module helped me realise my weakness were actually somewhere else. This along with the plethora of quizzies GMATWhiz had to offer helped me comprehensively prepare well for my exam.

I was unaware of this feature initially, as I was mainly very content with the in depth, and more importantly precise analysis the website had to offer with regards to my preparation. But the mentor really helped in the last weeks of my preparation as he asked me to rework on some specific topics which I'd chose to leave out of sheer overconfidence. I'd to pay for the same during my 2nd attempt, as I scored only 670. But my mentor (Shubhankar Dhar) encouraged me to go for another attempt within less than a month, and I was then able to score a 700 on 3rd September.

I would like to conclude by saying I'm a guy who struggled for 3 years trying to nail CAT. I never crossed 80 %ile in CAT, even though I did prepare sincerely from various coaching classes, but I never saw any results. In l honesty, GMATWhiz was the only coaching which helped me produce positive results. I didn't actually believe I'd be able ever see 650 on my test screen, but 2 days before my 3rd attempt, I was able to produce a 740 in the 5th official GMAT Mock test.

GMATWhiz prepared me in a way, that in the end even 700 felt like a failure to me. Trust me, they have the perfect algorithm to force you to succeed, IF you're ready to put in sincere efforts.

Thank you GMATWhiz, and all the best to anyone who chooses them. You won't regret.

I subscribed to GMATWhiz GMAT Prep 2 months program. I had earlier taken GMAT exam and scored 710, which was substantially below my target score. I took a free strategy consultation call with Piyush and he helped me analyze the ESR. Piyush explained me what mistakes I was making and recommended me to take a course to speed up my preparation. After the call, I decided to enrol in the GMAT online course of GMATwhiz.
When I joined the course, Saquib was assigned as my mentor. With hardly a month left for my next GMAT appointment, Saquib recommended me to complete the entire CR and RC module (my weak areas) and to go for quizzes for the SC and quant sections (my relatively better areas). Saquib met me online every 5-6 days during initial 2-3 weeks to help me prepare for the exam and in the last 10 days, we had a call every alternate day to fine tune my strategy/preparation. I worked on the actionable input that Saquib gave and managed to improve my score by 40 points and got a 750 (Q49 & V41).
GMATwhiz course helped me by:
1. Mentorship: This was the most helpful feature of GMATwhiz. Saquib helped me identify my weak areas and made me work on those. I am working full time with 6days work week. Saquib was kind enough to accommodate my requests to schedule mentorship calls at odd times, early mornings and nights.
2. GMATwhiz course helped me change my unstructured approach to question solving into a structured methodology. Earlier I was randomly solving questions from GMATclub. This course helped me in organizing my strategy by way of building a habit to ‘prethink’ and understand how to approach any particular questions.
3. Personalization also helped me to prepare for the exam in short period. By taking diagnostic quiz, course can be personalized; and if we do not do well in a quiz, personalized quizzes are also served.
4. Quizzes in WhizQuiz helped me improve my timing and pacing in the exam. Practicing solving 10 questions in 18-15 minutes helped me improve my speed without compromising on the accuracy.
5. Mock tests helped me be prepared for long sittings without losing concentration. Post test analysis gave specific insights into strengthens and weaknesses that can be worked upon.
I was happy with course and after the examination, I also took consultancy service for my college application. Saquib was again my consultant. Here again, it was an absolute delight to work with him. He listened to education and professional journey patiently and helped me present best version of myself through coherent stories in essays. He gave video feedbacks for my essays and reviewed multiple versions of each essay till I got a good essay. He was always prompt in his reply, and never missed any deadline, all this while accepting my requests for meetings at odd timings.

Strengths:

The RC part of the course is slightly on the higher side than what GMAT actually test on official exam. This will help improve your score in RC part considerably
CR part is at par with GMAT offical
Quant is explained in a crisp and easy manner. This is sufficient to score a 50 easily on quant section.

Would make the product better:

The test algorithm is not so perfect.
SC is not as good as other GMAT courses available. However one can answer 600 level questions easily. The 700 level would require little more content and

Overall the course is good for scoring 700+ on GMAT.
Quant section is more than sufficient to get 50.
Verbal section - RC is very good. The questions test your ability to decipher and comprehend the passage to a minute level. Solving questions of such level will help you increase your RC score to a great extent.
CR is also sufficient as the level is equal to offical GMAT.

The best part is the number of tests that the course offers. You will get 5 tests of GMAT whiz and 5 test of 800 score. These tests though are not an exact replica of official tests, they help to fine tune your timing to a great extent.

Strengths:

1. Online question practice platform
2. The layout/design of course material - lecture videos intertwined with practice questions
3. Regular mentorship from GMAT Whiz mentors

Would make the product better:

There should be a better User Interface to review bookmarked questions. Currently they are all in one list. We should be able to club them together in sub groups.

I prepared with another institute before res-starting my prep with GMAT Whiz again.
My score on the first attempt was 690.

I started my preparation with GMAT Whiz in July/August 2022.
With three to four months of consistent preparation, I improved my score from 690 to 750.

The best things about GMAT Whiz that helped me improve were -
1. Quant section - They don’t focus on teaching a lot of shortcuts, unlike my previous course. The approach was logical and methodological. Their course modules include concept boosters and practice questions intertwined with videos; this aspect helps one learn and apply the concept simultaneously. Their online practice platform is perfect for improving speed by the level of questions and time constraints.
2. Verbal Section - Earlier, I had to learn lots of exceptions and arbitrary rules that felt very difficult to apply in sentence correction questions. I couldn’t build a specific thought procedure for critical reasoning questions. And both of these combined also led to lower accuracy rates in RC ques.

With Gmat whiz’s logical approach of breaking sentences at the right point to understand the meaning of SC questions and keeping grammar rules simple, I was able to build a sense of what is correct and what is not. Their CR methodology/frameworks are just remarkable. They put you on the right track and correct pre-thinking to get to the correct answer more accurately and quickly.

3. Another good thing was, they assign a mentor to each student. I used to have regular catchups with my mentor to discuss progress on the study plan, share any difficulties I was facing, and prepare strategies for the next steps (curated to my strengths and weaknesses).

After months of self study, using different free and paid resources and a failed attempt, I came across GMATWhiz on gmatclub.com
I was looking for strong verbal prep and an in-person assistance for a foolproof study plan and guidance. The feature that stood out to me was the 1-1 mentorship - I could connect with a mentor whenever I needed to, and course correct, without wasting time in trial and error.

After few months of prep with GMAT Whiz and Zartaj as my mentor, I finally gave my second attempt but had a score improvement of mere 10 points, with my verbal falling. I was disheartened. I felt neglected. I realized that the mentorship provided by Zartaj was below average and there was no follow up from anyone post my exam too.

But I had made my mind to give a third attempt, and I really liked the quality of Verbal courses and the approach to certain topics, especially the ones taught by Sunita, which is when I decided to give the platform another chance. I had heard from a couple of peers and from the reviews posted here that Shreyyash as a mentor could prove to be quite effective. I requested for his mentorship. I could see a considerable difference in my Verbal performance with his guidance. I ended with a score improvement from V29 to V34.

All in all it's good for the quality and price point when compared to the other learning portals out there.
Content quality - great; AI based user experience - great; mentorship - some mentors are great, some not at all; GMAT Score prediction algorithm - average; Mocks - could be improved for verbal.

The GMATWhiz course helped me in streamlining my preparation. With the techniques prescribed by the course I was able to improve both on accuracy and timing. For CR, after inculcating their technique of "Prethinking" I was fairly confident in solving CR questions. For RC, their passages do seem tough but nevertheless solving their RC passages prepares you well for the official GMAT exam. The quant course is elaborate and covers wide variety of quesions. Their collection of "Easy", "Medium" and "Hard" practice questions is quite extensive. Also, I found their mocks at par with official GMAT exams. To conclude , their course definitely helped me in improving my GMAT score.
