GMAT score 1: 630 (Aug 22)
GMAT score 2: 610 (Nov 22)
GMAT score 3: 720 (Jan 23)
I recently used the GMATWhiz program to improve my GMAT score, and I have to say, I'm extremely impressed with the results. Over the course of just two months, I was able to increase my score from 610 to 720, which is a significant improvement that I would not have been able to achieve on my own.
I came across GMATWhiz on GmatClub YouTube sessions, in which I like the strategy concepts explained by Piyush. I purchased GMATWhiz of 2 months. I was immediately assigned Subhankar as the mentor with whom I discussed my ESR of pervious exam. I understood that I lacked the accuracy at mid-level questions and my strategic approach for the pattern.
The program is incredibly well-designed with AI, with a comprehensive curriculum that covers all the essential topics and strategies needed to succeed on the GMAT. The lessons are engaging and easy to follow, with plenty of building examples and practice problems to reinforce the concepts.
One of the things I appreciated most about the program was the personalized approach. The mentor was always available to answer questions and provide feedback on my progress, and he helped me identify areas where I needed to focus more of my attention. Previously I had followed Magoosh in which such approach was lacking for the price.
I think if GMATwhiz provides a mobile app for to access content on the go, it would have been better.
Overall, I would highly recommend the GMATWhiz program to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score. Whether you are just starting out or looking to take your score to the next level, this program has everything you need to succeed.
I got a admit into ISB Co'24 with scholarship. Thank you, GMATWhiz, for helping me achieve my goals!
Overall satisfied with this product.
Advantages:
- Well-structured course plan
- Decent price/value ratio
- Consultant - Rida Shafeek who was willing to schedule call with me very fast and gave a lot of quick tips and motivated me when I felt down and needed to improve rapidly in 20 days
- Very fast responses of instructors in discussions
What to improve?
- Length of some video courses. Sometimes the instructor went too much in detail (e.g. devoted a 17-minute video) with relatively easy and obvious topics
- Inaccurate calibration of easy, medium, hard questions. When I turned on some custom test and selected medium questions - it also gave me some easy and hard ones...
- In Verbal sections some correct answer choices were very poorly defended by instructors in discussion queries. However, this does not happen often.
Course Content: The e-GMAT offers comprehensive course content for Quant and Verbal. The Quant and Verbal courses are structured topic-wise, starting with a quiz that gauges one’s level of understanding of each sub-topic, and progressing with a detailed explanation of the topics followed by quizzes on the studied topic. One is able to thoroughly comprehend the sub-topics with such well-structured course content. The reading comprehension course content is what I can vouch for, as it helped me improve my accuracy as well as my timing to solve RC passages.
Cementing quizzes: The Cementing quizzes, available in easy, medium, and hard difficulty, help one practice questions for a specific topic or under a mixed category. As soon as I felt comfortable after going through the sub-topics from the course content, I was advised to practice cementing quizzes for the specific sub-topic. Only after gaining a certain level of accuracy in the Cementing quizzes was I advised to move ahead to the next sub-topic. This approach helped me gain a decent level of understanding for each and every sub-topic.
Scholaranium: This is a very special offering by E-GMAT. A tool to analyse all the metrics based on your performance in the Scholaranium quizzes. Scholaranium helps one to directly identify one’s weak areas and helps to gauge progress in each and every aspect.
Sigma-X mocks: After going through all the advised course content and practicing multiple cementing quizzes, I attempted the Sigma-X mocks. The Sigma-X mocks are well designed to closely resemble the official GMAT test. My Sigma-X mock scores were 600, 650, 690, and 700. The improvement in these mock tests was only possible because of the constant feedback you get from the mentors who guide you through your journey.
Support Provided: A sincere thanks to my mentor, Abha Mohan mam, who helped me plan and execute my journey.
Hi AnuragJunghare,
Congratulations on the wonderful score!
This is Abha your mentor. When I look back at your journey, the one thing that stands out is that from day one you did not shy away from hard work.
You laid a solid foundation by completing the concept files and applications files and then mastered the concepts and processes by cementing each of the sub-sections. Here is an image where we can clearly see your strong foundation is reflected in the form of excellent scores across CR Blocks.

I am glad that the RC strategies helped you understand the passages which in turn helped improve your accuracy and reduce your timing. Here is an image below where your accuracy improved to 88% in Physical Sciences and Bio Sciences passages and time per question also reduced.

It’s interesting that you mentioned how analytics powered your journey to success. At e-GMAT, we take great pride in our analytics-driven course which helps our students to identify the exact areas they need to improve on with respect to timing or accuracy.
At last, I just want to say that it was a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best for the next steps!
Regards,
Abha Mohan
Before joining GMATWHIZ, I had V19 on verbal. I had prepped with test prep company that had no structured approach of solving problems. As a result, I struggled to understand concepts with previous prep company.
In May 2022, when I joined GMAT WHIZ verbal tutor course, I was shocked and astonished regarding the depth of framework I was lacking in Verbal. I recollect the first session with my mentor Sunita madam where she broke sentences into words, phrases to make me realize the clarity required to score V35+ on GMAT Verbal. Total 4 sessions of SC with her were more than sufficient to make me absorb all the concepts and it assured attempting all sentence corrections questions with right strategies and most importantly with LOGIC!!.
Further, I mastered her advice of connecting the sentences back and forth in critical reasoning. The Reading comprehensions passage that GMATWHIZ platform provides look very easy on read. The questions that follow are created in such a way that it almost took me two attempts to solve most RC Questions. By practicing such tough questions helped me to adopt the strategy of eliminating the wrong choices instead of selecting the right one.
Finally, a day before exam, I revisited all verbal sessions I had with Sunita Madam and noted all points where she used to stop me and think critically.
Quant – The only place you need to improve Quant to Q49+ is to practice ALL the questions from GMATWHIZ. It literally covers all question types. After practicing questions from whiz by creating customized quizzes, I improved a lot on my timing.
My 100 days of prep with GMAT WHIZ turned into 710 (Q49and V37) and I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen when score flashed.
I would recommend GMAT WHIZ to the ones who are looking for sincere preparations for GMAT.
PRO TIPS:
1. If in 1st attempt you are NOT getting verbal score of V30+, it is better to take private tutor for verbal instead of going for recorded sessions
2. Analyse ESRs of people who have scored 700+ on GMAT. They are available on GMATCLUB. This tremendously helps setting right strategies on how to attempt questions.
I signed up for Magoosh Premium after my first attempt as I was looking for something that would not only help me identify the blind spots in my learning but also challenge my current skills with hard questions. Magoosh Premium was the only additional course I signed up for and it met most of my expectations! :)
The journey was arduous at times, especially with the Very Hard Quant and SC questions, questions that challenged my thought process and approach to the core. But I learnt a lot in the process, as the explanations, lessons and blog posts were really helpful. I also had a couple of tutoring sessions with Tom who helped me with some really useful GMAT test taking strategies. He also helped me calm down and added positivity to my process. Finally, the e-mail support provided by the team was quick and elaborate.
Thank you very much to the entire team for coming up a really well structured course and for providing swift and insightful support. Special shoutout to Tom, Kristin, Jonathan, Karryn, and Adrienne
I am a repeat GMAT test taker. I had a good experience with e-gmat. I did not see any improvement in my score. However, I did see improvement in my overall skill. I scored a 710 on my first test and was hoping to improve to 740. Unfortunately, even though my verbal raw scores improved V35 vs V39. Because of a 1 point drop in quant Q50 to Q49. The algorithm calculated my score to be 710 on my last attempt.
I started to prepare for the GMAT in July 2022. I took a free MGMAT mock test to establish a baseline and scored 630. After a 2 week of studying Manhattan Prep SC and Quant I took an offical mock and scored 660.
For my first attempt I utilized Magoosh, Official Prep materials and LSAT RC to prepare for the exam. I studied ~10-12 hours/week between August - November 12, before taking the exam, and scored 710 (V35 and Q50). My overall score was exactly the same as the official mock test #6 (710).
The biggest weakness prior to e-gmat program was SC. Specifically, I was very slow at finding the correct answer for the SC question type. For my second attempt I utilized e-gmat and the OG advanced/guide 2022. My SC and CR improved by ~10-15 percentile points. The methods used by e-gmat are very effective.
I highly recommend utilizing e-gmat's mock and SC sections during the initial parts of your preparation. Once you have mastered all the concepts I recommend using the official guide quesions. You will find that due to nature of the e-gmat question bank you will find the official questions a lot easier to process. The OG questions are typiclly shorter and more concise and e-gmat definitely helps with time management.
I did use the E-gmat mentorship program as well. My mentor Abha was very responsive and provided me with a customized program. The program itself recommends using OG material as you get closer to the test. If any one has 3-4 months to prepare for the test and definitely recommend using the scholarium question bank to cement the concepts.
Overall, I was not as impressed with the quant modules. The questions are different from OG and real GMAT. However, the questions do allow you to master important concepts tested in the GMAT.
Finally, I took all 5 mock exams. The mocks are harder to complete than the official test as the question prompts can be a bit longer. However, the mock exams predictions and analytics are quite accurate and help identify one's strengths and weaknesses.
My final sigma mock was v39, Q49 - 720, and was the same as my official score. I never broke V40 on e-gmat and have yet to do so on the official GMAT as well!!
In conclusion, I rate the egmat program to be a valuable tool in GMAT preparation. The mentors can provide a lot of value to an individual who is not sure on how to structure their study plan.
Hi Atlas064,
Congratulations!!
This is Abha, your mentor. Thank you for taking out the time and sharing your experience with e-GMAT.
From day one, you immersed yourself in the process and followed a structured approach which in turn helped you to excel across Verbal sub-sections and improve from a V35 to V39. Here is an image where you can be seen hitting 60%+ accuracy (80th percentile) in Verbal hard level questions.

While I am happy that the Quant course helped you master important concepts, we also appreciate your feedback, and we are in the constant process of improvement to help our students to get to their target score.
At last, I just want to say, it was a pleasure working with you and I am so proud of the work you have put into this journey.

All the best!

I would totally recommend e-GMAT for any new test taker.
Quants and CR are my strengths and EGMAT really strengthened my Quant and CR with their well curated content.
SC is still a weakness of mine, but I believe I improved a lot through the e-GMAT course. My RC abilities totally depend on the content of the passage. If I totally understood what the passage was trying to communicate in my first reading, I get almost all my answers right but when I find it difficult to completely understand the passage in my first reading, I become aware that getting all answers right would be tough for me.
With the full practice tests, I became aware of all my strengths and weaknesses and on Test Day I was very confident of getting a good score.
Hi surajitkalita25,
Congratulations on the 710!!
Thank you for such kind words, we are glad we could contribute to your success.
You truly immersed yourself in the process and completed the course with the right spirit which in turn helped you to improve your ability across the Verbal and Quant sub-sections.
Though CR was your strong point, recognizing that there were certain weak areas, you left no stone unturned to get from good to great, here is an image where you have improved from 60% to 75% accuracy in hard questions.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/CR-accuracy-improved-to-90-percentile
You successfully leveraged the Quant 2.0 course material to improve your skills further to get to Q50.
I am glad that you could identify your weak areas using the analytical tools on the platform and work on them to improve your accuracy. You could predict your success just by having a glance at your last two mock scores, wherein you scored 710 and 700.

I, on behalf of the entire e-GMAT team, wish you all the best for the next steps! 😊

Really great for a clear, simple, structured approach to GMAT prep for those just getting started. If you're looking to relearn the basics of math, their explanations (and interface) is stellar--I especially like the encyclopedic layout of all the math concept videos.
However, if verbal is where you're focusing, look elsewhere. I didn't find their verbal to be helpful anywhere past the 650+ level. Plus, their practice test score estimates are well, well below where you end up (e.g. 100+ point gap between their estimate and an official test the next week).
Good for people just getting started, but if you're past that--pursue other prep materials.
Here’s my review of e-GMAT.
After completing my BTech in 2021, I wanted to start my MBA preparation. So, I started without any guidance as I thought I wouldn’t need it.
Now, Having the zeal to prepare on your own is important so does having a right mentor, if not more.
After countless hours of research, I started using resources available on the internet but didn’t follow correct strategy nor was I on the right track. Despite all the hard work, I was stuck at mid 600s and the reason was obvious that I was just solving questions randomly under the impression that I knew all the basics already and that practice makes a person perfect.
But let me tell you this-It’s the RIGHT PRACTICE THAT MAKES YOU PERFECT.
Then I subscribed to e-GMAT(a friend suggested) to improve my VERBAL score as I was already good at QUANT.
Trust me when I say this- You only think you knew everything in verbal until you come across the course provided.
The attempt that the Verbal course designers made to try to make one understand each and every concept(relevant to GMAT Verbal) without one having to memorise is truly commendable.
I gave my Exam again on 1st March,2023 and scored 730(Q50,V39).
Here are the things I liked in the course from each of the three sections:
Sentence Correction(SC)-
I never would have thought of the concepts/application of the same, had I not come across the course. I loved the meaning based approach. I loved how the course sticked to the concepts relevant to the GMAT(I mean it was obvious of the amount of research you guys did while developing the course). The teaching really helped me to solve medium to hard question within 90secs.
Critical Reasoning(CR)-
Previously, I used to read the question,scan through the options directly and wonder how in the world could those options be relevant/correct in the context of the question. But the PRETHINKING process taught in the course not only helped me solve hard questions with ease but also developed my problem solving skills. Thanks team for this process. This process will help me in the real world too😎.
Reading comprehension(RC)- The strategies mentioned surely helped to speed up my reading and comprehending skills. And personally I believe that this section depends on the ability of the test taker ultimately.
Quizzes:
I liked the concept of cementing. I followed the plan to the tee and it is absolutely necessary to do so too. Reviewing the solutions to both correct and incorrect questions helped me to solidify the concepts.
Thanks to the team for responding to all my silly doubts/queries😅 within a day.
QUANT-
Kudos to the team for the PACE AI. I felt like it was tailed-made especially for me as I was already good at Quant and It helped me to save a lot of time by letting me avoid concepts that I was already good at and concentrate on solidifying the concepts in which I had some gaps.
Last mile push-
Last but not the least,
Let me talk about LMP(Last mile push though I thought it was Last minute Prep at first😂)
While there is no doubt about the Verbal course significantly improving my Verbal ability, I would also attribute my improvement (from V28 to V39) to LMP.
I followed the plan given to me, attempted test readiness quizzes and attempted two Sigma-X Mocks and scored 740,730 respectively. To my surprise, These mocks were very reliable as I got the exact score in my official GMAT as in my Sigma Mock.
Thanks Dhruv for prepping my plan, for conducting 1-on-1 sessions and giving me valuable insights, and responding to my mails immediately.
Thanks Payal for such a wonderful GMAT prep product.
My suggestion to all the aspirants,who feel at sea as to which prep course to go with, is to give it a try and you won’t regret.
To those who started your e-GMAT/already in the midway through the course, I would suggest you to trust the process, follow the course to the tee, make a habit of maintaining error logs, and analyse each and every answer choice to reassure yourself why you got it wrong or whether you got it right for the right reasons.
All the best!!
Hi Hope46s
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 730 score!
A 60-point overall improvement combined with an 11-point Verbal improvement (V28 to V39) is certainly an accomplishment that needs to be shared and spread.
Your diligence throughout this journey has been at the core of your success.
As you have mentioned, you followed every suggested plan to the ‘TEE’. Your improvement in your CR abilities was due to the combination of your sincerity and the pre-thinking approach. This in turn led to a significant reduction in the takt time as well as can be seen in this image below
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/CRimprovement-90thpercentile
You followed a similar structured approach across all Verbal subsections, the result of which is apparent in your overall Verbal Scholaranium stats in the image below:
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/VerbalScholaranium-90thpercentile
We are glad to know that you leveraged P.A.C.E. AI feature to save 30+ hours that helped you get to a Q50 in the most optimal time
At the end it all comes down to predicting success. The score you attained in your last Mock is exactly what you scored on the actual test. Hence you could predict that you were well on your way to success.

Praneeth, it was a pleasure working closely with you towards your target score. We wish you the all the best for the next steps!

The e-GMAT course's emphasis on individualized training and assistance is one of its highlights. Students get access to live online sessions with professors who may provide criticism, answer questions, and offer suggestions on how to improve their performance.
An additional characteristic of the e-GMAT course is its interactive learning style. The course contains quizzes and practice exams that help students to apply and reinforce their knowledge of the subject matter. This helps pupils boost their confidence and enhances their GMAT performance abilities.
Overall, the e-GMAT course is an excellent resource for students who wish to improve their GMAT performance. The course is thorough, well-structured, and highly engaging, making it a great tool for individuals seeking to enhance their GMAT abilities and attain their goals.

Hey JulianJ,
Congratulations on a massive 180-point improvement!! This is Rida, your mentor. I am ecstatic to hear about your success!
I know that you were willing to put in all the effort to get to your target score. Just looking at the snapshot below- you gave it your 100% in the SC modules, so you could perfect the concepts that would enable success.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/JulianJ-SC-Efforts
The reason why we explain in such detail is so that non-native speakers and people who are not as familiar with the intricacies of the English language can acquire all the knowledge, they need to ace the Verbal section of the GMAT.
I think the discrepancies in question difficulty that you faced were in RC. In RC, the passages are classified as easy, medium and hard. Even when you pick a medium passage, you may face easy or hard questions. The difficulty level in the case of RC is therefore by passage, not by individual question.
Thank you for your suggestions! We are always looking to make improvements and grow to help more people reach their target score.
I am glad to know that I could help you on the way to your success.
I wish you all the best!!
Regards,
Rida
