E-GMAT is a great platform, using data driven insights to help students find an edge. I had already written the GMAT before and had a fairly solid score of 720 (Q49, V38).

Since I come from an overrepresented background and am targeting top 10/15 B-Schools, I felt I needed to push my score up a notch. However, the catch with starting from a higher baseline leaves room for improvement only at the margins, and I was unclear on how to proceed.

This is where E-Gmat came in. Firstly, their platform is extremely user-friendly and analytics driven. This allows every student to assess their current level, highlight their areas of weakness, and build a study plan in sync with their goals and the amount of time they would be able to commit.

Their content around verbal, centred around a meaning-based approach and prethinking, really helped strengthen my fundamentals. Similarly, it helped refresh my quant skills and fine-tuned my methods in this regard. The quality of questions, especially those of a higher level, helped test the intricacies of each concept and ensured that any weaknesses were highlighted. By following their course, one can get an extremely process-driven approach towards their current level and path to improvement.

As an added bonus, I was part of their last mile push program which offered me the opportunity to work closely with a mentor. This includes steady correspondence over email and 1:1 sessions approximately every 10 days or so. My mentor Rashmi really helped, both in terms of diagnosing weak areas and building an action plan, as well as pushing my effort levels and ensuring accountability.

I ended up pushing my score to a 740 (Q49, V41) and E-Gmat played an important role in pushing me towards this improvement. I have used some of the other GMAT platforms out there, but would definitely recommend them to any individual looking to write the GMAT.

Dear Gautam2510,

Congratulations on scoring a 740! With this you are among the top 3% of the test takers. It has been great working with you on this journey toward success and thank you for the beautiful words.

As you have rightly said – the journey from good to great is challenging as the incremental improvements are more difficult to drive. But kudos to you on having made such a wonderful job of the same.

You approached the preparation with the right mind-set and utilized the analytics on the platform to identify and focus on these areas of improvement. See how this approach helped you internalize the meaning-based approach and improve to a 90th percentile across all the topics in SC:

I am really happy that the course helped you follow a process-driven approach to excellence. In CR, see how perfecting the pre-thinking approach helped you consistently hit a 70%+ accuracy for hard questions.

The great thing is that you took every question that you attempted as a learning opportunity and used this as a chance to identify and work on incremental improvements.

Gautam, I must say that this score is a testament to all the hard work, diligence and attention to detail that you displayed during your preparation. I am sure these qualities will come in handy as you now step into the application cycles to your dream b-schools. I wish you all the very best in this new phase of your life.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
