Strengths:

Excellent Verbal course content.
Advanced analytics platform

After my first GMAT attempt, I was looking for an excellent platform to practice and learn concepts, a mistake I made on my first attempt. During my first attempt, I decided to study verbal on my own and used GMAT Club extensively to find practice problems. After going through multiple reviews and trying out a few other platforms, I decided to join eGMAT online 360 program. I’m happy that I made the right decision.
As I already had 680 on my first attempt, I was eligible for the Last Mile Push Program (LMP). I cannot express how impactful this was for me. I was assigned a mentor, Akash, right from the beginning. Akash helped me with analyzing the ESR, identifying the knowledge gaps, and creating a custom action plan for approaching the course content. This plan was extremely helpful as it helped me focus on the topics I was actually struggling with. Also, he consistently monitored my performance and pushed me to get better scores in every practice and cementing quizzes.
The course content is structured and very well explained, especially the SC (Sentence Correction) course. As SC was one of the topics I was struggling with, I started with SC, as per the plan. The approach eGMAT suggests and the simple explanation of topics helped me to improve my SC score substantially. The approach eGMAT suggests to solve CR questions helped in reducing the time I took to solve CR questions and scholaranium provided enough quality questions to practice these approaches. The inbuilt analytics platform helped me monitor my performance and identify the topics I should work on.
As I was scoring well in the quant section, I did not go through the quant course. However, after attempting scholaranium quizzes, I could see that some topics needed more attention. After going through the specific topics as per the modified plan that Akash suggested, I could see improvement in my scores.
Thanks to Akash and eGMAT team for the support they’ve given throughout the journey. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking for a course that covers everything from absolute basics to advanced topics.

Dear GauthamManoj,

Congratulations on your score of 730 with a Q49 and an outstanding V40! With this, you have crossed the 90th percentile mark in the Verbal section which is a rare feat being a non-native speaker.

Scoring a V40 in Verbal is possible only when you let the processes become second nature to you. You used the Scholaranium analytics to understand that Parallelism and Comparisons are your weaker areas in SC. The below image shows that through consistent practice not only you improved your accuracy in these topics from 69% to 91%, but also you improved your timing from 1 minute 42 seconds per question to 1 minute 24 seconds per question.

It was because of your commitment that you got the 90th percentile in Verbal. You maintained your consistency throughout, understood your weaknesses, and worked relentlessly on them. The image below shows your phenomenal stats in Verbal hard-level questions across all three subsections –

You effectively used the Scholaranium analytics and improved your time management abilities with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam predictable. It was only a matter of time before you could replicate the score in your GMAT exam. The image below shows your journey in the mocks to the exam –

It was a pleasure mentoring you and I am glad I was a part of your GMAT journey. I am sure that you will face every challenge thrown at you with the utmost determination and I wish you all the very best for your next steps!

Akash
