I finally got a 700 on my second attempt.
When I first decided to write the GMAT, I thought solving the official guide was enough to crack the GMAT. However, I was shocked to get a 580 on my first try. I understood that I needed a competent and tactical approach to crack the exam but there are thousands of services and GMAT classes available online. I did my research and planned to go with the e-GMAT services since they have a huge success rate.
And luckily the e-GMAT online portal was a lifesaver. I could design my own personalized study plan and set my target score accordingly.
I also learned how to approach the verbal section in a logical way. Just like Mathematics, there are logical steps to crack the tricky verbal section. I also was heavily dependent on the Sigma-X mocks which replicate the real GMAT exam. The mocks are pretty much accurate and if you get consistent scores in the mocks, you are likely to end up with a similar score on the real GMAT.
Last but not the least, e-GMAT connects you with a mentor for mock analysis and other strategic advice. Akash Aggarwal was my mentor and helped me strategise my study plan, which was of great help.
In the end, I would suggest that It is really important to build a strategic study plan and stick to it. The GMAT is not a difficult exam but instead, a tricky exam and guidance in the right direction will definitely help you crack it.
All the Best!
Dear abhinavk2012,
Congratulations on your score of 700 with a Q47 and a remarkable V39! A 120-point improvement overall with a 15-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V39 (34th percentile to 88th percentile) is a phenomenal feat to achieve within just 3 months.
It is very interesting to see your views on the Verbal section on how you tackled it mathematically in a logical way. It was just a matter of time before you got the fruits of this approach in your accuracy and timing. The below image shows that not only you improved your accuracies in SC from 65% to 94%, but also you improved your timing from 1 minute 36 seconds per question to 1 minute 24 seconds per question.

You did not stop yourself right there. You gave this effort in all the subsections in Verbal. The below image shows your statistics across the three subsections in Verbal in hard questions. These statistics show your consistency through which you got that 15-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V39 (34th percentile to 88th percentile).

I am glad that you understood that just solving official questions would not help you to reach the target score. When you joined us, you understood the requirements from your study plan of what is the overall effort required to get that 700 score. Even during your mocks, you were consistent and kept on improving with each mock by learning from your mistakes in every mock.
You have greater heights to achieve and I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination.
I wish you all the very best for your next steps!
Regards,
Akash
