Improvement 110 Points

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

e-GMAT has created an outstanding platform that caters to millions of students and at the same time felt a personalised one for me. It understood where all I can falter, what is the right way to think and what I might be doing but is not to be done. Most importantly, it focused on the basics and the core process, NO SHORTCUTS. This helped me to build the confidence that I will be able to tackle questions of all types and levels during the main exam.

The course is very much structured and saves number of hours for any student. Meaning based approach in SC and Pre-thinking in CR do wonders to solve any question. Scholaranium is a very good tool for doing quizzes and analysing one’s skills deeply. Also, the team provides constant support and guidance throughout the journey. I have mailed them for everything that came up to my mind: asking about what study strategies to follow, what are my weak areas, what improvement plan to follow etc. Special mention to Rida Shafeek, my mentor and Abha Mohan who helped me with the improvement plan. e-GMAT team has always been there to help and support, especially when my course plan was getting over on 9th Jan 2023 and they extended it till 18th Jan as per my scheduled exam.

In the initial mock I got a 610. I started my GMAT journey in October 2022 and with the recommendation of my brother I took the e-GMAT course from the start itself. I feel very happy to share that I scored a total of 720 ( V36 Q50 ) in my GMAT retake in Feb 2023. In my earlier attempt in Jan 2023, my score was 650 (V29 Q49). I felt that it did not do justice to all the preparation I had been doing for the exam and planned to give a retake as soon as possible.

Overall, I really enjoyed the journey as much as I enjoyed the result. I would highly recommend the e-GMAT course to all GMAT aspirants.

Dear Malaika21,

Congratulations on the massive 110-point improvement to 720!!

This is Rida, your mentor. I am so incredibly proud of your success! The fact that you managed this with a full-time job makes this victory all the more impressive.

From the get-go, you knew that following a logical and structured approach was the key to improvement. In SC, we can see how mastering a reliable process allowed you to improve your accuracy by leaps and bounds to achieve 80% accuracy on hard questions while keeping your takt time low -

You displayed the same diligence to perfect the process across all other Verbal and Quant subsections as well. Your Quant Scholaranium scores show how these efforts enabled you to reach a Q50 ability.

By putting in the hard work and effort, you were able to ensure that you could tackle each and every question that the GMAT threw at you. The fact that this ability stemmed from a rock-solid foundation and not from a dependence on shortcuts meant that you were confident in your capacity to score well. This allowed you to bounce back from a bad attempt and ace the GMAT to score 720!!

I am so glad to have been a part of your journey and I am sure that you will achieve wonderful things in your MBA journey!

Regards,
Rida
