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.

I had taken the GMAT previously and scored a V38. I decided to appear again for GMAT and took Sunita's help in improving my verbal score. Sunita is an excellent teacher. Unlike other teachers, she did not waste my time. She asked me to solve problems on each sub-section in each class session and analyzed common mistakes. She also directed me to the GMATWhiz Verbal course which I wished I had discovered sooner. The SC and CR content covers all topics asked on GMAT and the OG explanations are very detailed too. Even after my sessions were over, Sunita would drop in messages and follow-up on my progress. Will highly recommend GMATWhiz for Verbal (cannot say for quants as I did not use the quant resources).

Hi Everyone,
I started my GMAT prep in Nov’2020. Aiming to achieve 720+, I bought a course from a leading test prep institute and gave my first attempt in May’2021. I scored 630(V28, Q48). I knew I was good in quant, so I was confident of scoring Q50 with little preparation. The bigger problem was verbal, I contributed majority of my time to verbal preparation. I was scoring 700+ in my mocks but in the actual exam I could only score 640(V31, Q49). I was devastated this time. I knew my concepts were clear and that I was lacking in the application of the concepts. I stated looking for an affordable verbal private tutoring course to improve my weak areas and after talking to Piyush, I was convinced that Gmatwhiz is the right platform for me.
1. They emphasize on meaning-based approach in SC. The golden rule framework works wonder in solving the any SC question within time. I was particularly struggling in SC when I took the course, But with the meaning-based approach and by following the right framework, I could solve 700+ questions with high accuracy.
2. In CR, what stood out most for me is that they not only explain the importance of pre-thinking, but they also have laid out a proper framework on how to pre think for different types of arguments in CR that GMAT usually focuses on. This framework helps to come up with at least 2 assumptions before reading the STEM. They have also explained the approach in situations where one couldn’t come up with assumptions during the pre-thinking stage.
3. I found their RC modules difficult compared to the passages in OG. But that really helped me in actual exam as I could solve the RC passages in less than 6 mins. They emphasize on how understanding each line and questioning what the author wants to say give a better understanding of the passage. They also suggest to connect every line to what you have read till now and what role the new piece of information plays in the overall understanding of the passage, this way you have a complete understanding of the passage and can solve each question in less than 45 secs. Initially one might take more time in applying the whole process for solving but trust me with enough practice each passage can be solved in less than 6 mins.
The course is very comprehensive and well structured. The new AI really helps to understand the weak areas and recommends ways to improve the same. They have identified OG questions for each topic and have included these questions for practice at the end of each topic. This really helped me in strengthening my concepts and approach. The personalized quizzes and quizzes recommended by the AI helped me to improve my speed and accuracy. They are also very quick at answering your doubts in the forum. The explanations given are very detailed and one could clearly understand where they went wrong.
I must mention the role my mentor Abhishek played throughout my preparation. He had very good understating of my weak areas and always insisted me on using the right approach. In SC sessions, he would ask me to solve the question and then ask me to explain what I understood, why I chose the answer which I chose and why I didn’t choose the other. This method improved my accuracy and I could confidently choose the right one and confidently eliminate the others. Similarly, in CR and RC our sessions were very interactive with most importance given to the meaning and approach. Whenever I was stuck in any question, he would patiently wait for me to solve the question and then later discuss why I was struggling in the first place. He has been very encouraging throughout my preparation and I feel I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor.
Overall, the GMATWhiz verbal private tutoring helped me in improving my score from V31 to V44. I scored 770(V44, Q51) in my last attempt and I would highly recommend this course.

I tried several courses (such as e-gmat, which is good for SC no doubt, for short duration I tried Empowergmat, and then Edushastra (I would recommend to not to go for this last one, My personal suggestion etc), and among all, I found GMATWhiz to be a very comprehensive course.

My journey of GMAT began with 620 (Q49, V27), then 660 (Q50, V29) and a few days back, I scored 710 (Q49, V38, IR3, AWA 6). I will write a separate de-brief later on GMAT journey.

I opted for a verbal tutor prep pack because I thought external help will be beneficial to see which aspects I lack in my preparation. The GMATWhiz team is very kind in terms of their response to the services that they provide. I genuinely felt that this team is focused on the success of the student. Be it moral support or support in verbal guidance, GMATWhiz really does a good job. I even got my verbal online prep-pack (which comes along with the tutor prep pack) extended for a week because I was due of course access just a week before my exam schedule.

Ms. Sunita is a very patient teacher; I would say she understands the difficulties students face. I, in fact, had to relearn my approach to even basic sentence reading. She would often ask me what I really understood from the sentence or the argument. She often focused on the “questioning” aspect while analyzing the CR argument. For RC, to keep up that interest, I used to do a bit of self-talk while reading. This is what I learned from her, so that one can engage himself totally in arguments or the passage.
I personally liked the question bank of the course. The CR answer choices are cleverly worded. At first glance, one may think that a particular option would be an answer but after reading their explanation, one would realize that it was a trap answer choice. Their methodology is beneficial in understanding the question or concept, for that matter. The frameworks used in CR really give one a peep into the pre-thinking stuff or predicting the answer. The RC passages questions are also tricky, and they test the real inference skills. I feel that the course does a good overall on all three fronts, SC, CR, and RC. I had reviewed their questions (the ones I got wrong) before my GMAT.

I learned that a great course is a course that has a good question bank, a solid methodology to apply to questions and excellent support to its students. And I am sure that the GMATWhiz team will continue to be genuine in feedback and support to its students.

Overall, I would recommend this verbal course (as I did not take the quant part) to anyone who wants to ace the GMAT.

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 had 3 sessions with Sunita mam and Gmat Whiz and it was a great learning experience going over the strategies for RC. Anyone struggling with RC can go over the subject with Sunita mam. I think she has an excellent hold over language and a great teaching experience. We learnt how to read a passage, solve detail type and inference type questions. The one on one sessions were particularly helpful since mam helped me identify the areas where I required improvement . I also studied SC briefly with Sunita mam and her methods were helpful for me to identify some core concepts where I lacked.

I enrolled with GMAT Whiz after researching about it on GMAT Club and after one session online with Piyush. I had already attempted GMAT multiple times and hit a plateau at 650. While I had a Q49/50 mostly, my verbal score never crossed 27, and I was disappointed. I had already spent time and money on the e-GMAT online course, and it did not seem to work for me. After understanding the course module from Piyush, I was convinced that GMATWhiz is the right fit for me. The course module included six sessions with Sunita Singhvi (Verbal tutor at GMATWhiz) and access to the entire verbal online course.

The course was very carefully designed. It first started with the basics of SC and then moving on to CR. CR structure was something I had never come across before. Sunita Singhvi designed the entire Verbal module, including CR, and the frameworks and way it has been put are just remarkable. I could see myself improving, and my method evolved drastically. The RC method popularly called 'Involved and Evolved Reading' helped me face even the most terrifying of all passages. SC module was the last we did, and I must mention, even when you do the online course since it is all designed and built by Sunita Ma'am from scratch. You will think that she is right there in front of you teaching the class.

We had checkpoints after which I used to have my one-on-one sessions with Sunita Ma'am. At every session, I remember she used to carefully examine how I am doing with respect to the methodology and give feedback. For the first time, I was enjoy studying for GMAT instead of getting all mortified with all the preparation I had been doing.

I will recommend everyone who has hit a plateau or not, to go for GMATWhiz as one size doesn't fit all. The AI-driven platform helps you work on your weaknesses and identify strength in each module. This also allows the tutor to drive the sessions in respective directions. I don't have enough words to express my strong recommendation. All the best! :)
