GMATclub folks,

I had a very long struggle with GMAT, which started back in 2018. I used various official and online resources but couldn't break the 700 barrier. My first official GMAT was in Aug 2019 and I scored a 650, in my second attempt which was only after a month I got a 590 with no improvement in quant and a verbal score of 31 . I then decided to take time and study again and attempted GMAT for a 3rd time scoring a 640 with a quant score of 47, my verbal had dropped from 39 (first GMAT) to 32 . I then decided to study for long and finally after using all the official and online resources I took the GMAT online in Aug 2020 and scored a 690.
It was late December and I started applying to business schools but I was not confident and wanted to retake GMAT to increase my odds at admission. When I was waitlisted by one of the schools I decided to take GMAT for the 5th time. At this point I had used all the official resources , and had gone through the verbal course of one famous company for 3-4 times. I wanted a fresh course but had time limitations, also I had the basics but wanted to take a refresher in 8-10 days and then take my GMAT again in next 2 weeks.
I then got to know about Piyush and his extra ordinary GMATwhiz course. I scheduled a call with Piyush and he was very nice to speak to me the next day. This was the first time I have discussed my performance issues with a GMAT professional, he listened patiently to my GMAT journey and my bottlenecks, I still remember he guided me and advised me not to rush and at least take a month to retake GMAT. I then decided to purchase the full GMATwhiz prep course. This course is elegantly designed (both verbal and quant), I feel the verbal videos are very engaging and the questions quality is amazing. As I had used all the official resources, I used the mocks from GMATwhiz properly to evaluate my performance. The thing which helped me the most was Piyush video on time strategy . In April 2021 , I got the strength to finally appear for GMAT for the 5 th time (Online 2nd attempt). Quant was really hard but I diligently followed Piyush approach and managed to finish on time (though I was doubting that I am missing most of the questions but I just kept attempting), verbal was okay . It was then a wait of 2 days after which I got my official score and this time I crossed the 700 barrier . It took me 2-3 years of prep and 5 official attempts to get a 710 (Q49 and V 37).
I really want to advise all the GMAT takers to keep cool and invest in studying hard for the exam. I strongly refer the GMAT whiz course to anybody who is struggling with GMAT or starting out , even somebody who has taken any previous courses and wants to improve GMAT should also take the course.
Thanks and keep working hard on the GMAT!
