December 08, 2022
So I’ve enrolled in the e-GMAT Course after doing a lot of research on which course to opt for my GMAT prep. I’ve written an official mock 3 years ago and I knew my weakest area was verbal. After reading a lot of reviews I’ve decided to give e-GMAT a try. In my first Sigma X mock I scored a 640 with 46 in quant and 31 in verbal. So I’ve enrolled in the course and started focusing on verbal. Ended up scoring a 780 in my last Sigma X mock with 51 in Quant and 45 in Verbal. And scored 780 and 770 in both my official mocks, and 720 in the main GMAT.
There are three things that I absolutely loved about the course
Super Interactive
While preparing for GMAT I realized the issue I’m facing is not the understanding of the concepts but it’s the application of the concepts in the given amount of time. And the structure of the course was such that I could learn, apply and cement the process through their modules and quizzes, especially in the verbal section. The application of the concepts was very well covered in the interactive style of their course. In following that process I could increase my accuracy from 60% to a whopping 90% in all the sub sections.
The Dashboard and Error Log
They have an amazing and very EASY to use dashboard. It is so well defined that I could find my weakest areas in terms of accuracy, difficulty level and timing. I could focus on my weak areas and increase my score by more than 80 points without spending a lot of time in the prep.
I can only stress and stress on the importance of the error log. I’ve revised it at least 30 times before the test. And the error log that they’ve provided is very thorough and has helped me fill all the conceptual and application gaps.
My Coach Rashmi Vaidya (LMP - Last Mile Push Program)
She is the BEST. I was struggling to cross the 700 mark. Without her intervention I wouldn’t be able to score above 700. She would analyze my mocks, my tests, and every aspect of my profile and suggest the next steps. She has supported me through my downs and trusted in me more than how much I did. Rashmi has spotted intricate shortcomings in my profile and made me cement them really well. I really really thank her for her support and availability through the course.
All in all e-GMAT has helped me score a 720 in spite of me having a bad test day. I’m considering a retake because I know my ability is higher than 720 and that trust was built through the course and Rashmi.
First Sigma Mock: 640(Q46 and V31)
Last Sigma Mock: 780(Q51 and V45)
Official Mock 1: 770(Q51 and V47)
Official Mock 2: 780(Q50 and V46)
GMAT Attempt 1: 720(Q50 and V38)
Total Preparation Time: 4 months, approx. 3 hours a day
Planning to retake it in the next 15 days.
Dear layakeerthi,
Congratulations on your 80-point improvement to 720! This is your mentor, Rashmi here.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. You are the perfect example of how one can ace the GMAT through a consistent, diligent, and process-oriented approach.
It is commendable how you recognized that while you might be conceptually strong, you need to work on your application skills to be able to get to a top score on the GMAT.
You not only built a solid foundation by going through the application files but mastered the application by working on GMAT-level questions during cementing.
See how this process-led approach helped you get to 90%ile ability in verbal. This image shows how the time invested in learning applications in SC helped you improve to 90%ile in SC

Mastering application is not a one-time linear approach. It is an iterative process of identifying weak areas and strengthening them. You did an exemplary job of this process by constantly reviewing your quizzes to identify areas of weakness. You then set about improving these areas with a single-minded focus. I am glad that the error logs and analytics on the platform helped you in this journey.
See how in RC, through this constant iterative process, you were able to improve not just your accuracy but also bring down the time:

You followed the same diligent and structured approach in quant where you were able to get to the 83%ile ability level required to get to a Q50. See how the scholaranium data predicted you to get a Q50:

Once you reached a 700 level, with your persistent and strategic approach, you improved your ability to a 750 level. I know you couldn’t get to this score on the test day, but I am sure that with your grit and determination, you will get there on your reattempt.
I wish you all the best for the reattempt and all your future endeavours.
Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
