I scored a 640 twice on the GMAT and was completely lost after my second 640 not knowing what to do and how to improve from there and what I can do to get a better score.
Quant: I have always been strong in Quant and got a Q50 in most of my practice tests, but ended up scoring only Q47 and Q48 in the actual test. E-Gmat really helped bridge those gaps in a few concepts that stopped me from scoring a Q50. Each practice test and session was followed by a thorough review and a "going back to the basic concepts" kind of approach which really helped hone my quant skills to secure a Q50.
Verbal: The Verbal course was also really thorough. I almost had to start from scratch and redefine my whole approach in CR and RC and E-Gmat helped do this.
The biggest help in E-Gmat was the question bank and the explanations. Each question had a clear solution with details of how to approach a question. But for the few questions where the explanations weren't understandable or thorough, I could just send an email to the team and they would get back within 24 hours.
Lastly, I cannot finish my review without mentioning the mentoring that Aditee Biyani provided. She was always very encouraging and pushed me in the right direction to get to this score.
I'll always be thankful to E-Gmat.
Final words:
I cannot help but mention the fact that I did feel lonely in this journey many times and lost motivation to study. GMAT is a journey and you can only choose your vehicle but you have to do the driving. Looking back on my journey now, I cannot help but wish I drove harder and pushed above that 740+ score.
Hi mpk777,
Congratulations on breaking into the 700 club! Overcoming a plateau requires a lot of mental strength. To believe that you can do it despite getting the same score twice is commendable. I feel very happy to be a part of your journey. As for having pushed to a 740+ score, you did put in the effort and are almost there.
One thing that comes to mind when I reminisce your journey is that your ESR had shown weakness in DS and that was one of the first things we worked on in Quant. Your efforts in Quant and DS showed results and are a proof that working systematically and with reliable processes delivers results.

On the Verbal front as well, you showed similar diligence in going through the course and then on Scholaranium. When a student is diligent and follows through on data, success is inevitable just like in your case.
Wishing you the best for your future.
Regards,
Aditee
