Before I started my preparations with E-Gmat in May-21, I had already appeared for GMAT once in Jan-2019. It was my first attempt and I had performed poorly in that exam. That day i got to know that the rules are not enough to clear the GMAT. I took a break from GMAT and then decided to seriously prepare for it in Feb-2021. I thought of doing the OG and questions from GMAT Club. I majorly focused on Sentence Correction ,and the questions from OG and GMAT club did seem to improve my ability on SC. Since my performance in CR and RC was not upto mark, I decided to take some expert help. I got to know about E-GMAT from a friend of mine and decided to contact them. They asked me to write one sample test before suggesting anything. I was shocked to see that even after two years my score had not improved. I decided to go with E-GMAT complete package.
I took my first test(post E-Gmat subscription) on Sep-2 and scored a 680 with V-37 and Q-46. I was quite shocked by the quant score. Though it was an improvement, the score was way below my expectations
. I decided to reappear for the exam in November and started by focusing on Quant more. I finished almost all of the E-Gmat's quant questions. I gave the Online-GMAT but was let down by the glitches in the online software. Thanks to my proctor, GMAC refunded my money and I rescheduled my test for Dec-16. On the day of exam, I was not worried about the exam. I finished my sections well within time and was surprised to see a 730 at the end of the test. E-GMAT's course trained me to an extent that I eventually scored a great score after much hard-work.
Verbal
SC- The SC section is one of the highlights of E-GMAT. I would definitely recommend E-GMAT specially for this section. The questions test your understanding not just the grammar rules. The Modifier section has been covered in detail.
CR- The CR section, though not as strong as the SC section, trains you on how to logically solve the GMAT questions. By the time I was done with the CR section, I was able to solve most of the questions.
RC- The best thing about RC section is that it trains the mind to identify the trap answers. Once you are trained enough, you"ll be able to achieve 80+% accuracy on RC.
Quant-
E-GMAT's Quant is good to build on the basics and practice on some tough questions. The questions aren't exactly GMAT style , but the course clears the concepts to a level that it becomes easy to solve the GMAT type questions.
The Scholaranium 2.0 and Sigma Mocks provide a range of questions to practice from and train yourself for the real test.
I would recommend E-GMAT to people who want to have a solid foundation on all the concepts-Verbal and Quant.
Hi Rajat,
Congratulations on the 730 score! We are very happy to have been your partner in this journey.
Two important things that stood out in your review for me are:
1. Rules by themselves are not enough to ace the GMAT
2. In your latest attempt you felt prepared to the extent that a high score was more a certainty than a wish
Your first point is very pertinent. You may know everything there is to about a topic in theory but if you do not know how to apply it to a question or how to approach a GMAT question it will not be enough. This is where the Application files in Verbal course and Practice Skills and GMAT Skills files in Quant course play an important role and I see that you put in the required effort there. This ensured that you had a reliable and repeatable process to answer all the questions on the GMAT.
