Course GMATWhiz GMAT Prep

Location Online

After months of preparation using different platforms, I was just able to cross the 700 barrier and get a score of 710. Though 710 is a decent score, coming from an Indian Male Engineer background, I knew this score was not enough for a good B-School.

Then I stumbled upon a video from GMATWhiz on Verb Tense timeline. I was previously having problems in this particular section of SC, so I decided to watch the video. I was amazed at how easily GMATWhiz’s content managed to solve my problems with verb tense usage. I felt more confident in tackling this sub-section now. It was then that I decided to book a strategy session with GMATWhiz’s strategy expert. I had an awesome discussion with Piyush who helped me understand GMAT more thoroughly and chalked out a plan to address my GMAT weak areas. I decide to go forward with GMATWhiz and started working on the plan the AI had laid out.

My stint with GMATWhiz was relatively small (less than 2 months) but I want to highlight how awesome the whole AI-driven platform is. It kept updating a predicted score based on my course progression and Quiz score, went deep into analyzing my weak areas, and automatically created quizzes and study content to help me address those areas. I was able to precisely target the areas I was having the most trouble with and could successfully improve as well. It saves you all the trouble of pinpointing your weak areas and then creating a quiz addressing them. These help you to apply the approach learned in the course, making you comfortable with the application of the methodology to solve the questions.

The content of GMATWhiz is comprehensive and addresses each GMAT-based question independently. I was facing issues with CR specifically before joining GMATWhiz course but I was able to improve it drastically using their course content. After each concept video, you have concept booster and concept solidifier quizzes that help to cement the process you have just learned.

From the very beginning, I was assigned with a Mentor, Zartaj who deserves most of the credit for my GMAT success. She helped me overcome my plateau and kept motivating me throughout the journey. After her guidance, I was soon scoring more consistently on each practice quiz. Although I was hitting my sub-section goals consistently, to further increase the chances of getting achieving a high score, I was introduced to Sunita from GMATWhiz who took out her valuable time to tutor me and fine-tune my approach to reach that upper echelon score. I finally managed to score 740(Q50, V40) on GMAT.

All in all, my experience with GMATWhiz has been nothing short of amazing. So, whether you are a first-time test taker, or a retaker struggling to overcome a score plateau, GMATWhiz is a one-stop solution for you. Highly recommend!

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

I started GMAT prep in 2020 during the first covid lockdown. I tried all my ways to improve my concepts. I tried every online free source available but could not improve myself for one long year. After a year of self-study, I attempted for GMAT and scored a 600. I was shocked to see my score and decided to give a break to myself. After that, I started looking out for online programs for the GMAT. I listened to all the webinars and checked all the reviews. I found that while the other options that I explored were more focused on providing short-cuts and so-called smart tricks to ace the GMAT, e-Gmat focussed on mastering concepts and processes, an approach that appealed to me.

How did e-GMAT help me?

1. The verbal course of e-GMAT is the best in class. It starts with Master Comprehension which helps us understand how to comprehend any sentence or problem in Verbal as well as Quant. Moreover, the meaning-based approach emphasised by E-GMAT is the best to solve hard questions, which can never be answered by just knowing the grammatical rules. Earlier, I used to solve verbal questions using short-cuts. However, as soon as I started applying a meaning-based approach, my accuracy started to increase and this led to a major increase in my confidence as well. The meaning-based approach made everything so easy and interesting that I never found it boring ever again. I started enjoying practising SC questions as well. The application quizzes in the verbal course are really helpful in understanding the whole process of solving a question and improving every skill required to master it.
2. Although CR does not have many concepts to master, the pre-thinking approach used by e-GMAT really helped me master CR. It helped me understand the importance of classifying the arguments into conclusions and premises and pre-think all the possible approaches to work on it.
3. RC has been my weakest area throughout. However, the master-comprehension approach and meaning-based approach helped me to read the passages with full understanding. I never had to go back to the passage again if I read it using the master comprehension approach. This really helped me to gain better accuracy and speed in RC.
4. Quant course gives a detailed understanding of all the concepts in quant and it really helps in leaving no concept untouched. Earlier, I used to apply short-cut approaches in quant as well. However, the level of understanding I gained from the e-GMAT helped me solve each and every question with a proper process and understanding. the e-GMAT quant course is really intensive and the Scholoranium 2.0 really helps to diagnose the weak areas and focus on them. The scholoranium 2.0 provides a diagnostic quiz, based on which, you can diagnose the areas where you are weak and require more attention. Moreover, the process and GMAT quizzes are really helpful in attaining the right efficiency for the test day.

The e-GMAT analytics-based portal is truly commendable. All the insights provided by the e-GMAT portal are very useful to work on areas that require the most attention. The portal helps us understand our efficiency in all the topics in both Verbal and Quant. Moreover, it also helps us to track the time of each and every question and helps us achieve optimum efficiency. With the help of this portal, I could focus on my weak areas and track my efficiency throughout. The course also provides the scholoranium, which has n number of questions in both Quant and Verbal. The custom and cementing quizzes based on these scholoranium questions really helped me to improve my performance and track it in every way possible. Moreover, the Sigma-X mock provided by e-GMAT is a real gem. I guess these are the only mocks apart from the official mock that adapts on a real-time basis, just like GMAT, and also contains questions equivalent to the difficulty of the actual GMAT. Moreover, the mock analysis provided at the end is a very very detailed analysis of one’s mock performance. This tracks every question, every block, difficulty level, timing and whatnot. One can get all the required insights to improve their performance based on this mock analysis.

Lastly, the kind of support you get during the entire duration of the course is worth mentioning. I was given the opportunity to enrol on ‘The Last Mile Program’, wherein Rida, one of the e-GMAT experts, helped me during the last stage of the GMAT prep journey. Rida really helped me plan everything. She gave me insights into my performances based on my Scholoranium and Sigma-X performances. She continuously helped me create a plan to improve my weak areas until I was finally ready to give the GMAT. The plans she provided were a real gem at the last moment of my journey and really helped me to upscale my performance. She was always ready to help and used to respond spontaneously too. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Rida and I would recommend her 10/10.


Summing up, looking for an all-inclusive GMAT package that can help you prepare despite a demanding job? E-GMAT is your answer!

SCORE DISCREPANCY:
As an Globally renowned institute of authority, and my mentors who are responsible for my score, it would be great, if e-GMAT (Ms. Payal & Mr. Rajat) took up my case and clarified the anomaly with mba.com and GMAC.
This will not just help me, but also help e-GMAT guide its students in a better way.
Q48 and V40 leads to a score of 720: courtesy GMAC Official practice tests. A Q48 & V41 SHOULD lead to a score of 720+.

E- GMAT PREP REVIEW:
Now coming to why e-GMAT is one of the best prep courses for a 700+ score on the GMAT:
1. One-of-a-kind analytics:
• Customized timed plans based on your current skills
• Zeroing down to your each strength and weakness; and suggesting a plan to improve the latter. They actually have graphs tracking your progress as you go.
2. Mentorship support:
• I was mentored by DJ first, and Harsha later. During our long back and forth emails, we discussed everything from difficult CR questions, to testing strategy. His mentorship advice is as comprehensive as his Verbal dissections.
• Towards the end, Harsha gave me detailed plans to follow every day- what to revise, what to practice, what to score on quizzes. Super helpful.
3. Great content:
a) Verbal:
• SC- If you’re an English buff who solves SC questions by selecting what sounds right, you’ll likely falter on this section in the exam. e-GMAT’s meaning- based approach along with the detailed grammar lessons are your go to- s.
• CR- The pre- thinking approach was a game changer.
• RC- Read The Economist daily and read the entire passage- once, carefully. e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension course is a good resource to start with.
 For all of Verbal, watch out for Harsha’s explanations on the forum- they rule!
 e- GMAT Verbal is the closest to Verbal Official imo.
b) Quant:
• I didn’t do e-GMAT Quant much; the questions seemed to be decently more difficult (and longer) than Official Quant. But they’re great to build concepts, and to make sure you’re roasted to a level that you can crack the final test, with high accuracy (Q48+), and in the given time.
c) IR:
• A solid combination of e-GMAT’s Quant and Verbal finesse.

 The OG bundle is actually a waste without e-GMAT. The questions are the same, but the answers are poor. Use e-GMAT's Strategic review process here. e- GMAT actually has several different types of quizzes they recommend you do at different stages of your prep.
 Cherry on top- The simple and polished software further makes the content easy to absorb.

Good luck!

How I Cracked GMAT with a 760 in three months!

Hey,
Since this platform Gmat Club has been super beneficial to me while preparing for GMAT, it is only justified to share my journey! I hope this adds value to your journey for GMAT prep.
I am currently a final year student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering! I mention this fact as it was super hectic to manage uni and prepare for the exam at the same time. Nevertheless, it is indeed possible. During my first month of prep, I revised the basic concepts of Mathematics. It was not very hard for me as I had covered almost all the topics in high school. Also, engineering kept me in touch with mathematics!
For reference, I covered the Veritas Course Books for mathematics. By the end of the month, I easily scored around 49-50 on Quant. Verbal on the other hand was dicey for me. I had covered Manhattan course books as well as veritas and those helped a lay a strong foundation with grammatical rules and made me familiar with the question types. Unfortunately, my verbal score had a wide range, from 37/38 on a good day to 32/23 on a bad one. My confidence skyrocketed on one day and dropped on the other. It was only then that I started looking for a good verbal course. Reading the reviews on GMAT Club Forum, I thought to go with E-GMAT as it had good reviews and a 2-month flexible period, which was right what I needed. I had planned to give my GMAT in the month of March-April, but it got dragged to May due to my fluctuating verbal score.
Hands down, e-GMAT was what I needed to give me that push!
To describe e-GMAT, it had a three-step learning process.
1. Learning the concepts (Foundation Videos) Pre-thinking is a major learning concept that helped me get through the Verbal section easily.
2. Cementing ( Applying the concepts learned in the concept videos to real GMAT-like questions ). Honestly, it takes you from a beginner to an expert in that particular section. The solutions are well detailed and explained. So the major learning happens here. It was at this stage that I maintained an error log to understand and analyze the errors I was committing over and again.

3. Quizzes - A mix of questions from various blocks!
For my nerdy friends, here are statistics of Verbal: Verbal Prep

1. Completed MC, SC, CR, and RC courses

2. Solved 536 verbal questions during cementing and test readiness phases
▪ You solved 100 questions in SC – 75 for cementing and 25 for
improvement of your accuracy SC to 70%
▪ You solved over 86 CR questions – over 50 for cementing 36 for
improvement of your accuracy in CR to 60%
▪ Solved 78 RC questions in the cementing phase and improvement
phase
▪ Solved over 70 questions in the test readiness phase
▪ Reattempted close to 126 questions across all the sub-sections

3. Demonstrated excellence in SC as indicated by 70% accuracy in hard
questions and proficiency in CR and RC as indicated by > 60% accuracy in
hard questions

Finally, there was the last mile program which is offered by e-Gmat, in which I was contacted by E-Gmat mentors for personal guidance on how to navigate and follow the course better tailored to my needs.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with the course. I was confident of my score based on the last three mocks I gave on the platform. I ended up scoring a 41 on verbal, and 51 on quant! An overall score of 760!

PS: If you are looking to improve your verbal, you need to check out the e-GMAT course! Depending on your time and need, you can choose either a 2-month course or a 6-month course!

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

Location Online

Target Test Prep was critical for my GMAT process. The self-guided portion meant I could start studying in November and do a light amount for 4-5 months until I could take time off of work. I went from a 32 quant 36 verbal to a 49 quant 49 verbal. Target Test prep set very clear guidelines and processes for how I should be studying, which helped provide structure to my study plan. Upon completion of the quant portion, I never saw a problem on the practice GMATs I had not seen before. My first practice test after was a 42 quant, so there was definitely a slight adjustment period, but on my second test and on I never got below a 49 (consistent 49s/50s). Highly recommend this course.

Abby sets up a great class environment where we felt comfortable to stop and ask questions and it made the whole process much less painful. She is so patient and encouraging, which is what I needed at this stage of the process and worked based on my positive results on my final GMAT (large improvement from my initial attempts). She also allowed the other students to get to know each other on a more personal level so we were able to keep in touch and continue to study together once the formal class meetings concluded. I highly encourage taking class with her!

e-GMAT preparation is comprehensive and contains all the information that one would expect to be tested-on in the real test and even more. It offers structured courses in quant and verbal that if followed diligently are guaranteed to secure a very good score. I have particularly performed well in quant thanks to it
e-GMAT does the effort of generating detailed explanations for every question. A nice feature to mention as well is the question performance statistics, where the student is able to compare their timing and their answer choice on a particular question with the rest of the takers
e-GMAT also keeps up with the changes in the official test by providing solutions to the official GMAT to support your preparation of these questions

I mostly relied on the official resources and GMAT Club during my prep. Among the few non-official products I used, I found the one by Experts Global the most helpful. I was particularly impressed by their focus on the mental aspects of preparation under the General Strategy section. The AWA section was also quite helpful as there are not too many reliable resources available for this part of the exam. I used only parts of the quant and verbal sections mainly to get some concepts cleared, and found the material quite useful. The last full-length mock I took before the actual GMAT was on their platform. Finally, the sections on admissions strategy and interview prep have resources that I am referring to even today. Overall, I would like congratulate the team at Experts Global for developing such an invaluable collection of resources for the MBA aspirants.

I am very glad I chose e-gmat to help me in my preparation. I had heard about them from my friend who had referred to their material after first trying other organizations and not getting his target score. Given I was short on time, I knew I had to strategize and refer to material that would be structured enough to help me cover all my bases and yet something I could go through efficiently. The e-gmat material came to my rescue with an amazingly well put together course for verbal, quant and IR. I started my preparations in December and had completed the main material by March. The online platform helped me stay on track continuously letting me know how many more hours I had to put in for each topic. But the best part was the PACE engine which is in built into the course and which helped me identify areas where I was good and could skip altogether. This reduced my overall prep time, leaving sufficient time to work on my weaker sections. The e-gmat material also has cementing quizzes which help solidify your concepts and has the ability to build custom quizzes. Each of these were a big help especially closer to my examination day when I needed to focus on improving my time management. Overall, I am very happy I chose to go ahead with e-gmat and thankful to the team that put together such great content and helped me achieve my target score of 750 :)
