My journey with the GMAT took a unique path compared to other applicants. Over a year ago, I attempted to conquer the GMAT in just two weeks with the help of E-GMAT. However, this approach proved to be ineffective, resulting in a disappointing score of 620 (Q48, V27). It became apparent to me that I had underestimated the complexity of the exam.
One year later, when I made the decision to apply to business school, I approached the GMAT differently. This time, I dedicated myself to preparing for the exam with E-GMAT, adopting a more diligent and structured approach. This decision turned out to be a game-changer. After approximately three months of studying around 20 hours per week, I was able to significantly improve my score to a commendable 710 (Q49, V39)!
There were three standout aspects of E-GMAT that played a crucial role in my preparation:
- Personalized Approach: E-GMAT's personalized approach was instrumental in my success. They recognized my strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to save time and effort by focusing on the areas that needed the most improvement.
- Mentorship: E-GMAT's mentors were invaluable as my guiding lights. Not only were they subject matter experts, but they also provided unwavering support and motivation throughout my journey. Their personalized feedback and guidance kept me on track and instilled a healthy sense of pressure, ensuring that I reached my target score within the estimated time frame.
- Sigma X Mocks: The mock exams provided by E-GMAT closely resembled the real GMAT. Practicing with these mocks and thoroughly analyzing them proved to be immensely beneficial in pushing my score beyond the coveted 700 threshold.
In conclusion, I highly recommend E-GMAT to any aspiring GMAT test-taker. It is the most effective and time-efficient way to prepare for the exam. However, it is essential not to underestimate the dedication and effort the GMAT demands, as I did in my first attempt. By embracing E-GMAT's structured approach and combining it with determination, you can pave the path to success.
