I had taken the GMAT twice before I started working with GMAT Whiz and had scored a 710 each time.

First attempt in 2017: 710 (Q49, V39)
Second attempt in May 2022: 710 (Q48, V41)

I had been using TTP for Quant and the Manhattan Guides for Verbal till then.
Even though I had a decent score (710), somewhere deep down I knew I had it in me to score much more. I felt like I had underperformed each time I had taken the GMAT till then.

Determined to give the GMAT another shot within a month or so, I started looking for other tutors/resources on the internet that could give me a focused action plan to follow. By then I had figured out that I needed some help to figure out my gaps and for someone to tell me what I needed to do on a day-to-day basis. (I had completed self-prep and was pretty confused about next steps, hence the decision). I got in touch with GMATWhiz after a free-consultation session with Shreyash.
I told him that I needed someone to work with me simply on priming me for the exam. I had covered all of the fundamentals and needed finishing touches.

Shreyash told me about GMATWhiz’s mentorship offering that comes along with their GMAT Prep course. I was sold. I spent about 2 months working with GMATWhiz - initially starting off with Verbal. Shreyash had analysed my ESR and had recommended that I start off with CR and then we gradually moved to SC and RC practice. He used to give me a plan of action for the week and we would get in touch over the weekend to review.
After spending about 20 days on CR and SC practice, Shreyash introduced me to Saquib for Quant.
Saquib is one of the kindest people I have spoken to. Immensely patient and equally intelligent. He worked with me to analyse my weaknesses and recommended resources for both concept building and then building my test taking and timing skills. I initially started off with the GMATWhiz platform for certain math concepts that I needed to brush up on. I went through all of the relevant videos at 2x speed and then solved the questions that were included in each module.
Saquib then recommended that I start taking practice tests on GMATClub. After struggling initially, I got comfortable with the level of questions and the speed at which I needed to take the Quant section.

After investing about 1.5 months building myself up to test-taking level. I took the GMAT once more in the middle and got a 710 again. I was shocked. I had felt substantially better prepared by then, but nothing had changed. Shreyash and Saquib both recommended that I book another attempt in two weeks (the earliest possible) because they felt that I just got unlucky.

In the last two weeks leading up to the exam I took a couple of practice tests from Manhattan Prep to refine my timing skills. Finally took the GMAT on August 24th and scored a 740 (Q49, V41).

I cannot recommend GMATWhiz enough to people who are equally willing to invest the time and energy in their GMATPrep. Their mentors are accessible and know what they are talking about. In case you do read this review and decide to opt for GMATWhiz, do let the folks there know that Suraj said Hi! :)
