I purchased E-Gmat Online Course based on recommendation from my senior (who is currently at ISB) on Dec 22, 2022. As my aim was to get into Indian colleges, My target score was 700 and above.
As mentioned by experts at E-Gmat, It is very helpful to know your starting ability before even going for the learning. My first sigma-x mock yielded a 610. It gave me insights into the where my weak areas were and also gave me a good analysis of my Time Management.
I first went to tackle the Verbal section. I had extreme difficulty in tackling the SC and CR part. My RC was rather good at first. For SC, I went on with the course and tried to study all the grammar rules. But for the first 100 questions that I solved post the learning, I wasn’t doing great. I knew I was missing something from my analysis of SC questions. The Course always screamed at each and every point during the learnings that “ Please understand The meaning of the whole sentence first”. Then went back to the course and analysed (with the help of error log-cant stress the significance of this enough) that I finally was able to understand the root cause of my problem with tackling SC questions. I then focused on inculcating the meaning based approach and it immediately gave a boost to my ability. I was much more confident and was able to tackle questions with fairly high accuracy. It also reduced my overall time spent on SC questions as it made it easier for me to eliminate answer choices more easily.
My CR understanding was really bad at start. I almost dreaded and was happy when I came to know that GMAT throws the least Number of CR questions. But only after giving the mock test was I able to understand its significance. After going through the course, it gave me an idea on how to tackle such questions
1. Always, I mean always keep the conclusion statement in your mind. If for some reason You insert your own analysis, its game over.
2. Pre-thinking of answer choices helps a lot in understanding the direction of thought of the author. Sometimes I was able to do such questions under 30secs just because of pre-thinking.(CR questions are on the higher side of average time taken to solve questions)
3. Process of elimination with eliminating each point by thouroughly understanding the point is another major ability you learn as you go through the course.
RC was fairly a strong point for me so the I just brushed through the course. The thing to keep in mind is give sufficient time to fully process the entire passage (4-5 mins for large passage is good) so that questions can be tackled fairly easily. (I for some reason couldn’t get my timing right in exam which affected my overall score.)
Quant has many topics which requires sufficient time for learning all of them. The PACE AI utilized by E-Gmat is a golden hand for your preparation as it provides a very good analysis of your ability in various sections of quant and skips those which you are very good at, therby saving a lot of precious Time.
The SIGMA-X mock tests are very good at estimating your true ability and its esr like analysis provides deep insights into your strengths and weaknesses.
I also want to sincerely Thank Mr Dhruv from E-Gmat for providing constant guidance during my prep. His analysis helped me in my score improvement from 620 to 700 in just two weeks!!
Overall E-Gmat provides a very good platform for improving your ability in GMAT Exam Prep with its systematic and well designed course.
