Having scored a 640 (Q48, V28) in my first attempt at GMAT after preparing on my own, I knew that I needed to take some preparation course that would set me on the right track and help me achieve my target GMAT score and that’s when E-GMAT came into the picture.

When I was preparing for my first attempt, I thought that the official guides were enough to help me reach the 700 mark. So, I just solved the questions from the OGs and would sometimes randomly look up certain topics on YouTube where some of the top videos that would come up were from E-GMAT. From there, I understood that E-GMAT is a trusted source. Anyway, I wanted to take my first attempt without any external help, and I scored a 640 then.

After that, I explored a bit more about E-GMAT and it seemed like everything I had wanted for GMAT. So I signed up for the course. The things that I liked the most about the course were the personalized approach and the expert guidance that I got throughout my preparation. Every step of the way I was getting constant feedback and corrective measure plans for the areas I was faltering in. Abha Mohan (one of the E-GMAT experts) who was mentoring me made sure that I was not leaving any stone unturned and constantly motivated me to push further.

I also want to break down my learning experience in various sections/subsections:
Sentence Correction: I think I can safely say that this course changed the way I read sentences. The meaning-based approach that E-GMAT teaches compels me to understand the logic behind every sentence.
Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension: These courses taught me to read between the lines and get as much information as can be extracted from a set of sentences.
Quant Section: Starting from the very basics of mathematics to teaching how to tackle difficult and tricky questions, the quant section is divided into various subsections and teaches in a way that does not involve any memorization or shortcuts.

Scholaranium (the E-GMAT question bank) is an extremely resourceful tool that offers carefully selected questions (resembling those that are asked on the real test) that can be accessed through various types of quizzes. The cementing quizzes that are ought to be done after completing each subsection helped me retain my learnings while moving on to the next subsection.

So after preparing for two and a half months, I started with the mocks. And even though I did not perform well on the first 2 mocks and felt demotivated, Abha was there as always to my rescue; she helped me gain my confidence and provided a corrective plan, setting me on the 700+ track.

Then I booked my test date 10 days in advance and just practiced with the already solved questions in the last few days. Through the entire preparation period, I solved 850+ questions from both Verbal and Quant with more than 60% overall accuracy in hard questions. On the test day, I was confident and calm, and as I clicked on the next button to see the final scores I kind of already knew that my hard work had paid off. I scored a 710 with a Q49 and a V38.

All in all I can say that E-GMAT was the best choice I made in my GMAT journey. I had a wonderful experience. I really want to thank Abha Mohan (my mentor) and the whole E-GMAT team for tremendously helping me achieve my target score. I highly recommend E-GMAT to anyone who is looking for a preparation course for GMAT.

Additionally, I would advise that once you take up the course and if you have sufficient time, then don’t rush through the learning part. That’s the most crucial segment and if you do that right you won’t face many problems with the questions later. I wasted a lot of time coming back to certain files again and again. And also make full use of the discussion forum. I wish all the best to anybody who is reading this post. Thank You.

Hi suchit2000,

This is Abha from e-GMAT. Congratulations on your 710 and thanks for sharing such lovely words. I am very happy to see you be a part of the 700 Club. 

The sheer determination you have shown to get to this point is phenomenal. You followed a structured approach throughout your preparations which helped you attain a massive 10-point Verbal improvement from a V28 (49%ile) to a V38(84%ile).

You mastered the concepts and process by cementing each of the sub-sections attaining 80%ile ability in Hard questions. Here is an image below showcasing how your SC Hard-level questions accuracy improved from 61% to 87 % using the meaning-based approach.

I am so happy that Quant 2.0 helped you build your ability from basics to higher difficulty level questions. Our main aim here was to minimize surprises on D-Day.

Your repeated success gave you the confidence you needed to succeed on the test day. You could predict your success just by having a glance at your last two mock scores, wherein you scored 710 on both. I hope you did notice the same 😊.

Please refer to the image below to see the last two Mocks with 710 scores before the actual test.

At last, I just want to say, it was a pleasure working with you and I am so proud of the work you have put into this journey.

I wish you all the best for the next steps. 

Regards, 
Abha
