Third Attempt 710

First Attempt 670 (Q-50,V-30)
I started of my Prep for GMAT around November 2020. In the initial days of my Prep I used only the GMAT official content and GMATClub for my studies. After giving 2 mocks(640-650) in a span of 1 month, I realized my scores in weren't improving at all I was stuck around V27 and 28 and had some major flaws in my concepts in sentence correction. After talking with few of my peers, I booked a session with Egmat to get a review on my preparation and they made me realize that I do a lot of scope to improve on my verbal skills. They even gave me a peek through the egmat platform. After going through similar calls with different services and some reviews from my peers I decided to go ahead and buy the egmat subscription. In the next month of my Prep using the egmat platform I learnt about the right approach to solve any SC or CR and how to eventually save on time by making this approach a habit. I Gave my first online attempt in the month of Feb and score a 670 (Q-50 and V-30).

After few weeks of introspection, I realized that during my prep I didn't concentrate much on learning from my mistakes. I used to prepare the error logs but never took them seriously or read them properly and in repeated the error. Considering that I Still have time left for my applications and my score can be improved I took on to give my second attempt.

Second Attempt 660(Q-49, V-31)
Before starting any of my prep I first gave the 1 Sigmax mock and scored a 690. This made me realize that Yes I can score good on the GMAT. I just need have some patience and work effectively. Considering my learnings and the type of data analytics provided by scholarenium on egmat. This time I went straight to Egmat for assistance with my Gmat Prep. Seeing my SigmaX mock score and the potential to improve Egmat assisted me a mentor Dhananjay(DJ).Before beginning any of my prep, I connected with DJ and discussed with him what I feel are my weakness , where did I fail in my first attempt. DJ Carefully listened to me and then assured me that we can work together in bits and pieces to overcome my weaknesses. We started of with RC prep. Realizing that Humanities is a major category I faced issues in, DJ advised me to read through articles on Humanities of WSJ , The Washington Post or NYT and draw a summary of those writings in my words. Initially it was too boring to read such lengthy articles and drawing summaries from them. But as I made this my daily habit I could see my RC scores improving and the time taken to solve a RC also decreased . After tackling RC we moved on to CR and SC. DJ helped me design custom quizzes to concentrate specially on my weakness and made me Strategically review each and every quiz even if I got all my questions right. The strategic review process developed by Egmat helped me understand the smallest of the errors I was making like not visualizing the answer choices properly or not creating sentence structures for a SC and helped me avoid repeating those errors. With the help of the scholarenium platform I was able to visualize what Question Type are my weaknesses . After consecutively scoring a 730 and 740 in my sigmax mocks and official mocks, DJ advised me to go ahead and book a Date for my GMAT since I was peaking my performance. I went on and booked a GMAT at Test center for 11th August . I gave my 2nd attempt and scored a 660 (V-31, Q-49). I had gone completely blank during my Verbal section and couldn’t think properly on applying the proper approaches to the question. Seeing the score drop from my first attempt I was completely dejected. I took a break for a day and convinced myself that it was just not my day and I deserve much better scores. I ordered my ESR and had a session DJ to understand what went wrong and how to prepare . He helped analyze my mistakes and gave a short plan on my reattempt.

Third attempt 710 (Q-49, V-36)

This time I decided to my attempt within 2-3 weeks, since I was already doing well and just had few mistakes to work on. I took on solving questions from GMAT Club and writing few mocks and scored an 730 and 720 . After gathering the confidence I went on to book the GMAT for 7th Sept and scored a 710 (Q-49, V-36).


A huge shoutout to DJ and the entire Team at Egmat. DJ, has been like a mentor who motivated me when I was getting anxious before booking on my GMAT dates. After failing on my second attempt I was completely dejected and was in no mood even to order an ESR, But DJ pinned me 2-3 times day via mails that I should at least order ESR and have a look at my mistakes, that’s when I gathered courage to go ahead and take a 3rd attempt. Egmat has been really helpful through-out my Journey and course is really very well designed especially for Verbal. The Scholarenium platform and the Strategic review process have been really helpful in spotting errors perfectly and working on them. GMAT is an exam of Learning from your mistakes so getting your error logs and the Strategic review process right is the key success.

My learnings- Be Patient, Learn from your Mistakes, Do not Rush and Believe in yourself.
