Would make the product better:

Recorded lectures can get monotonous. However, e-GMAT provides free lectures regularly by top experts on crucial topics.

I decided to start my GMAT prep in April 2022 and purchased e-GMAT’s Online 360 program. In the first diagnostic mock that I gave before any preparation, I scored a 580. As a beginner, this phase was all about building my foundation and I started going through all the concept files, with the help of the personalized study plan. Due to multiple factors such as my college studies getting restarted in an offline mode post-pandemic, lack of consistency, and suffering from a health issue just a week before the exam, I messed up my first attempt. I scored a 610 (Q47 V27 IR8 AWA6). Clearly, verbal was a big issue. I took some time off to reassess why I had gone wrong and waited for my college studies to end.

Cut to July 2023, I reached out to the GMAT Strategy Team with my vision and with an analysis of my shortcomings. The team is very supportive. They analyzed my mistakes and advised me to give a mock again. I scored a 700 in this diagnostic mock. I repurchased the course and started the steps that the strategy team had prepared for me. The first crucial area where e-GMAT helped me the most was my Verbal. RC is my natural strength and that wasn't a worry. SC was my Achilles heel. As per the advice of the strategy team, I went over the concepts of SC again and this time, I truly understood them. Then I performed proper cementing via cementing quizzes to ensure that I can reciprocate the skills I’ve learned. e-GMAT’s detailed approach to SC as well as their pre-thinking approach for CR have helped me a lot.

Secondly, the dedicated OG and Scholaranium sections have played a pivotal role in preparing me for the official exam. For my 2nd attempt, I thoroughly utilized both the Scholaranium and the OG. The strategy team advised me regularly with a structured approach to balance my preparation between scholaranium quizzes and OG quizzes. Doing this built my proficiency in GMAT quant, made me regain my confidence in GMAT verbal, and I also identified patterns and mistakes that I rectified to obtain a good score.

Overall, the strength of the course, the analytics offered to gauge your progress, and the live support of their strategy team, work hand-in-hand to ensure that you get to your target score.

Thank you e-GMAT! And to all the readers, you can reach out to me for any specific queries that you may have regarding the course or my journey.
