Verified GMAT Classic score:
700 Q49 V36 (Online)
First i'll start with my background, I am a marine engineer. My GMAT journey began in august 2020. The first ever e gmat mock i took was in August 2020. I scored 400 on the mock. I did not know what to make of that score. So i started preparing all by myself.
I Completed the OG guide, verbal review and quant review in a couple of months. I gave all the 6 official mocks, 6 Manhattan mocks, 6 veritas prep mocks. My approach to the exam was entirely incorrect. I tried to improve by giving more and more mocks. Then i gave the actual test and got a 600 first and a 610 the next time. That is what you should expect if you do not follow the right approach or study sub standard material.
I realized my mistake. I took a six month break, went on the ship, did not study there. I came back in August 2021. I decided to do things differently this time around. I signed up for the eGMAT course. At the beginning you are asked to take a diagnostic test to see where you stand. I got a 620, but since i had given the same mock a year ago the score was inflated as i remembered a few questions in the verbal section.
The e-gmat platform allows you to prepare a study plan according to the number of hours you can put in daily. this is something that you must definitely follow or else amend it according to the number of hours you can put in. The platform first teaches you all the concepts and at each step of the way there are quizzes to guide you in the right direction. If you have any questions then you can write to the e gmat team and they get back to you within a day mostly. It's very important to clarify doubts on the platform in order to cement your understanding of each topic. once you complete the leaning bit, you must cement your concepts on the scholaranium platform. The questions that you come across on Scholaranium are far superior to the questions you will come across on any other platform. Once you solve questions on this platform it is highly likely that you'll find questions on the actual exam relatively easy. It is imperative that you solve the verbal and quant questions using the approaches taught in the curriculum as it is what will help you on the test day. When you are done with the cementing process, you start with test readiness. On clearing the test readiness stage you move on and give sigma mocks. the Sigma mocks are the best mocks out there. I got a 700 on my 5th sigma mock and that is the same score that i received on the day of the exam. The e gmat team is very helpful at every step of the way. They always guide you in the right direction and correct you wherever you are going wrong.
Right before the exam DJ, a mentor at e-GMAT helped me identify my weaknesses and shared a focused plan (LMA) with me. It covered all the topics that I must work on to improve weak areas. It was very helpful.
The team members are very supportive, and granted me an extension basis my exam date.
I would also like to give a big shout out to DJ and Atreya who stood by my side at times when even i didn't believe that i had the potential.
I highly recommend that students must not waste time by following an incorrect approach or by solving questions that you'll never see on the GMAT. once you sign up for the eGMAT course, be rest assured that you're on the right path and that you will achieve your target score and get into your target school.
