Experience with e-GMAT

My journey with e-GMAT was nothing but special during my GMAT Journey. I scored a 710 and was pretty happy with my score. Let me pen down a few learnings and how e-GMAT (especially DJ from the team) went about helping me in my journey.
Initially, I had issues in my Quant and had timings issues as well. If you are someone who finds yourself cruising in the first 10 odd questions but suddenly has 7 minutes for their last 10 (sorry for the exaggeration, but you get my point) – this was me. Exactly my situation. We figured that my ability to solve M-H questions wasn’t good and which is why I spent more time than required on those questions.
The solution? The Quant 2.0 course that e-GMAT offers. It not only gives you very clear instructions on your weak areas but also outlines next steps, in a very clear, crisp and concise way. In my opinion, if you are able to complete the Quant 2.0 course in a very comprehensive manner (without hurrying, skimming or rushing), you would have built an ability to score a Q48/Q49 – that’s how awesome the course is! From the xPERT AI tool, Diagnostic Files to help you pinpoint your weak areas, Process Skill files which help you build and cement your process, the course has it all required to ace the Quant on the GMAT.
Coming to Verbal, I was particularly strong in SC but CR and RC were my Achiless Heel. I used to jump into the answer choices with really no basis apart from the fact that it sounded right while eliminating. While this approach might get you a V40 on your most lucky day, it fails 99% of the time. (The GMAT is a very clever exam in that aspect). Pre-Thinking is a very important concept that I learned in the Quant course. Taking that extra 10-15 seconds to pre-think really changes the answer choices in your brain and CR and RC become more like a Quant exam – where you know for sure what the right answer is. Finally, add “Error Logs” to your artillery and you have a winning combination for Verbal as well. Maintaining Error Logs is really helpful and helps you identify your weak areas and where exactly are you making errors, helping you identify and rectify.
Finally, I haven’t spoken about any human element till now. After all, the most important functions in any equations are humans and I couldn’t have achieved my goal without DJ, my mentor at e-GMAT. He wasn’t just a great mentor and teacher but a wonderful person as well. From creating specific videos for me analysing my mock, giving me insights on my performance and even telling me to chill when I scored a 640 on my last mock, which was 3 days before my exam, DJ went the extra mile to ensure I was able to hit my goal. Infact, there was a time when I was so unsure of when should I take my exam that I panic-called DJ and very calmly he helped me out. He gave me a Day-By-Day plan for my last 10 days which was super super helpful! DJ – I salute you and your ability to help your students.

I had a wonderful experience with e-GMAT. In today’s world of Data and Analytics, this is the perfect course to help you ace the exam. When else have you had a software giving you percentages of what your weak areas are and what should you work on?
