Strengths:
Scholaranium - verbal and Quant both.
I started my gmat journey in the year of 2018. I took several courses including e-gmat's. However I failed to score in my first two attempts. Meanwhile covid happened. All of my family members including myself were infected. This derailed my preparation. But I always had the urge to score 700 at least once. In the beginning of 2023, I started preparation again. I liked e-gmat's course because of couple of reasons:
1. Modular approach. So that we can finish each topic of SC, CR and RC and we can practice each of those topics of each subsection. The best part is we can gauge our ability using scholaranium and then move to next section if we are happy with our ability.
2. Detailed explanation of each question. It helped me to understand my mistake. Conceptual knowledge we all acquire. The real test comes in harder questions when multiple concepts are tested in a single sentence and when we need to choose one from couple of grammatically correct sentences. Same for CR and RC also. In RC the main idea encompasses the complete passage. Some options may be true for most of the passages but miss one important point. That particular option cannot be the main point. The detail explanation helps to understand these points.
I was eligible for LMP program, Last Mile Push as I scored well in first sigma X mock. I opted for the program. However, I didn't do well in subsequent mock tests. My mentor Rashmi was very kind and helpful. Although this program was for 1–2-month duration, I had to stretch it for 6 months. E-gmat team has never raised any concern. I created multiple 1-1 sessions with her to understand my drawbacks and to improve test taking strategies. When I scored back-to-back 710 in the GMAT official mock, I booked the GMAT online and scored 700 (Q49, V36).
Dear ArupRS ,
Congratulations on your well-earned 700😊! And kudos to you having persevered and achieved the score despite all odds! It has been a pleasure working with you over the last few months.
I am really glad to see that you leveraged the modular approach to really build your verbal ability. Starting with basics and then moving up the difficulty levels of questions through cementing, you took a very structured approach to your prep, this time around. See how this approach helped you excel across all the topics in SC:

I must commend you on the time that you spent in reviewing and learning from your mistakes through strategic review and accessing the solutions. In RC, this process helped you recognize that you need to improve your approach in main-point questions. See how this helped you improve to a 100% accuracy for business and economics passages in RC:

Every journey is a mix of highs and lows, and it's truly inspiring to see your unwavering determination through the challenges. Your ability to stay resilient, committed, and composed in the face of setbacks has led you to conquer those obstacles and achieve your dream score. 😊
I have no doubt that the same exceptional qualities you've demonstrated throughout your preparation will continue to propel you toward success in all your future pursuits.
On behalf of the entire e-GMAT family, I extend our heartfelt best wishes to you.
Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
