With self-prep last year, I managed to score a 680 (Q49, V34). I was unable to go past this score as it seemed I had plateaued my verbal score.

I decided to give another shot at GMAT this year and figured that I would be needing some assistance for the verbal section, especially the reading comprehension. I began exploring various self-prep courses available and came across Gmatwhiz. I booked the free consultation it offered. The following are the things I was informed and I considered to convince myself why Gmatwhiz would be the best among available to reach my target score:

1. To-go study resources for any newbie starting GMAT prep are famous books published by American companies. Implicit in their structure in order to serve the native-speaking population is assumptions about certain topics which students already are aware of. Hence, when a nonnative speaker uses these books, they often fail to grasp topics entirely, as was my case in my first attempt. Gmatwhiz’s course is designed specifically keeping the non-natives’ needs in mind and overcomes this problem.

2. Entirely personalized course. We all are aware that personalization and customized user experience are the future of consumer products, and I was very attracted by the fact that Gmatwhiz has incorporated them into its product. On the basis of my performance in quizzes, the algorithm would recommend videos to revisit and help strengthen my concepts.

3. Economical


All in all, Gmatwhiz helped me raise my verbal score from a V34 to V37, a much-needed increase to reach my target score of 720. I would highly recommend this course to everyone.
