The Best Course for GMAT and the best mentors

Strengths:

Mentorship
Adaptive Sigma-X mocks

I started my GMAT Prep a year back. But due to critical health conditions, I wasn’t able to give the exam back then.

July 2023: After recovering partially, I started my GMAT journey with e-gmat starting by giving an OG Mock (760) and a Sigma-X (740).

I started my prep at a point where I knew the basics but where I lacked were:
• The identification of areas where I usually missed things (even though I knew the concepts), resulting in wrong answers
• The test-taking strategy.

The result: My mock scores fluctuated a lot between 710-750 on Sigma-X, although a constant 760 on all OG Mocks.

Note: Never take OG mocks as an actual representation of your GMAT performance. Questions on actual GMAT are way tougher than what you will see in OG mocks. One thing you’ll learn when you give the Sigma-X mocks – An almost equivalent representation of the actual GMAT

Akash, the Strategy expert from e-gmat, worked with me continuously to help me get constant with my strategy and scores.

Top 3 areas where e-GMAT helped me:
• Identification of conceptual gaps
• Identification of logical gaps while solving problems
• Test-taking strategy

Although on my best preparation, I, on the test day, was in a tensed state of mind.
(Tip to avoid: Stick to e-gmat test day strategies before entering the testing premises and follow them later on till you finsh the exam).

I started with Quant and saw some real challenging questions in the test, and I made the mistake of making the assumption that I somewhat missed a few questions and hence would have missed the perfect 51.
This self-doubt impacted significantly my performance in Verbal.

Thanks to e-gmat because of whose approaches I was able to do quite well on the CR and SC sections, but messed up in the RC due to lack of focus and in self-doubt. If not for the CR and SC methodologies by e-gmat, my score could have gone way worse.

Tips to test-takers:

• Believe in yourself the most on test day
• Do not doubt once you are finished with a section, focus on what’s in-hand now and not what can’t be changed now
• Stick to test-day strategies by e-gmat, the most important one being - Solve few questions before going for the exam (I missed on them)

I got a 720 with Q51 (the section I assumed I messed up) and V36 (my lowest ever score on any mock – Hence trust e-gmat and trust the process), IR 8, and AWA 6

Fingers crossed (I’m gonna give another attempt within 15 days. Will be updating my progress)

Update: It's 770 now (Q51, V 45, IR 8, AWA 6)
