December 15, 2021
I scheduled my first GMAT test in mid October 2021. Just 3 weeks before the test, I was in panic. I realized that I have a concept gaps particularly on SC. I looked through multiple reviews in GMATClub and decided to take e-GMAT course.
The e-GMAT course is phenomenal. The structured and comprehensive curriculum, the question banks and analytics platform are really exceptional. My favorite is scholaranium, which has amazing analysis on your strengths and weaknesses.
I took all the verbal courses in a very short period and I wish that I could take it much earlier in my prep journey. I realized that my prep was not optimal yet at that time, but I decided to go ahead for my first GMAT attempt. As a result, I got below expectation score of 670 (Q49 V31).
1 week post the exam, the e-GMAT team reached out and offered me a seat in the 'Last Mile Program' - a mentor-guided program to prepare your next GMAT exam within 15-60 days.
DJ is the mentor assigned to me and he is very great and super helpful. He analyzed my ESR and came up with targeted plan for the next few weeks, focusing on SC and CR. He shared weekly milestones on SC and CR, pointing out targeted courses that I need to retake - the most important ones are the master comprehension and meaning based approach for SC. He also highlighted to me the importance of error log (using e-GMAT structured error log template) - I was skeptical earlier, but after few tries, I realized that it was very helpful in really going deep to understand areas, skill-sets or processes that I faltered.
During my last 2-3 weeks prior to the test, DJ guided me to do Quant Test Readiness and the last mile plan. It was very targeted to refresh and further sharpen my quant skills. The last mile plan was helpful in building my test readiness skills as well as my confidence.
I took my next GMAT attempt on early December and scored 710 (Q50 V35). Thanks to DJ and the e-GMAT team in helping me throughout my GMAT journey.

Hey adrian123,
Congratulations on finally breaking the 700 barrier - it hasn’t come easy. I know it because you have seen both a V31 & a V33, you were always within striking distance of this score. It was a unique challenge because you had already used the course and, in your mind, you had done everything to score well in Verbal, in fact in the call I had with you – you believed so with uncanny resilience (A quality only prevalent in the best test-takers)
Your SC ability plagued you at this point and it was the one thing standing in your way of scoring better on Verbal.

The diligence with which you went through the Master Comprehension course that contain hour-long sessions with Payal showed me that you wanted to change this. The deal clincher here was your error log that takes hours and hours of work to create – but you did it. Your hard work finally paid off when you took cementing quizzes and comfortably crossed the benchmark.

Little by little I could see you gain confidence and that translated to an improved Verbal score. My engagement with you in the Last Mile Program came to fruition and we finally conquered the challenge, TOGETHER.
Congratulations again!
