I feel quite happy to write on this forum about my GMAT Journey, which I started in the beginning of 2017. Coming from an engineering background, I was good at quant; However, Verbal remained my Achilles' heel, and I could only reach V29 in my five attempts that I took from 2017 to 2018. With the breakout of Covid-19 in March 2020, I finally decided to give one last shot to GMAT, and this time, I chose e-GMAT for its structured methodology towards acing the GMAT exam.
After a few weeks of enrolling on the e-GMAT platform, I received an email that offered free mentorship for a selected few. My cohort of around 15 people was mentored by Dhananjay(DJ). Not only was DJ able to identify my weak areas but also provided weekly milestones that helped me improve the score linearly as I progressed through the milestones. As an example, For Reading Comprehension, I discussed the articles from 'The Economist' directly with DJ, and he asked me questions that helped me critically evaluate the passages as we read. This process helped me build stamina to read larger passages, and I also reduced my time from over 6 minutes to 3 minutes per passage.
Furthermore, I used to spend more than 2 minutes on almost every Verbal question before I enrolled with e-GMAT, however at the end of 4 months with e-GMAT, my average attempt time was 80 Sec for SC, 105 Sec for CR, and about 110 Sec for RC.
In the three months of my GMAT journey, not only DJ pushed me to do more but also motivated me to put in more effort to realize the dream score. I can also vouch for the e-GMAT platform because I have closely observed how e-GMAT selects its employees. I scored 710 in GMAT, and I can't thank enough to DJ and e-GMAT team enough for helping me reach the desired score.
