Strengths:
The verbal course is really great and comprehensive. The course is very interactive with the pre-quiz to gauge your current knowledge on the topic and then the lesson followed by the post-quiz. The PACE AI was really helpful for quants as it allowed me to skip lessons in which we already have a good hold. Scholaranium was great for practice and the level of questions in it and the Sigma-X mocks were representative of the actual GMAT. The analytics was really insightful and allowed me to target my weaknesses and focus on what’s important.
I started my GMAT preparation in the first week of August 2022 and soon realized that there was just too much information available on the internet. I needed a structured course and purchased the e-GMAT course on a friend’s recommendation. As I had my GMAT scheduled in mid-October, I quickly went through the course without really going according to the plan. I scored 630 (V31, Q45). I knew I could score better so after returning dejected from the test centre I decided to mail the e-GMAT team. They were really quick to respond and Dhruv was assigned as my mentor. He went through my ESR and laid out a detailed step-by-step improvement plan starting with SC. The meaning-based approach helped a lot here. I was also told to make an error log which also helped me track my mistakes and understand the pattern of mistakes I was making. After I was done with my SC improvement, I was given another detailed plan for CR. Pre-thinking was a game changer in CR as it gave me a direction on how to go about answering CR problems. I was able to solve hard questions with ease with the help of the pre-thinking technique. After CR improvement we went ahead with similar plans for RC followed by Verbal test readiness and Quants. The analytics page especially in Quants was really valuable for me as I was able to target my weaknesses and this allowed me to devote more time to Verbal. The level of questions in the Sigma-X mocks was also great and representative of the actual GMAT and the scores I got in these mocks were also close to my actual GMAT score. I gave another attempt in January and scored 710 this time (V39, Q49). Dhruv was a great mentor and provided a lot of value as he was quick to respond to all my queries and in drafting apt improvement plans which helped me improve by 80 points.
Hi madhurjya98,

It takes an enormous amount of effort and extreme diligence to achieve an 80-point improvement, and you demonstrated both qualities as you progressed from a score of 630 (Q45, V31) to 710 (Q49, V38).

Your Verbal score underwent a remarkable improvement of 7 points, which can be attributed to your adoption of the Meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction (SC) and the Pre-thinking approach for Critical Reasoning (CR). These two strategies were the key factors that enhanced your Verbal score, elevating it from a V31 (59th Percentile) to an outstanding V38 (89th Percentile). Here is an image that serves as evidence of your exceptional Verbal ability achieved during the final phase of your preparation journey.

It's great to know that you found the Data-Analytics feature on the platform and the P.A.C.E AI feature in the Quant section to be beneficial in your progress from Q44 to Q49.
Your performance on the SIGma-X mock test gave you the confidence you needed on the actual test day, as you could predict your performance by simply glancing at your last mock score, which happened to be exactly the same score 710 :). Here's an image that displays your last mock score.
