August 21, 2023
Hey Folks! I recently took the GMAT for the 3rd time and got a score of 780 (V47, Q51) which was a 60 point improvement from my previous score of 720 (V38, Q50). I would like to share what was different in my approach this time and what enabled me to get to the 99th percentile.
When I started preparing, I took the free trial of E-GMAT and of another very prominent online coaching platform. I was quite satisfied by the E-GMAT course structure and not to mention, the interface. The free trial was of great help as it gave me a taste of how interactive the course would be.
Here are some things that I really liked about e-gmat and that helped me get to this score:
Course structure
The e-GMAT course is very well-structured. It starts with a diagnostic test to assess your strengths and weaknesses. Then, it provides you with a personalized study plan based on your results. The course is divided into modules, each of which focuses on a specific topic. The modules are well-organized, interactive and easy to follow.
Course content
The course content is very comprehensive. It covers all the topics that are tested on the GMAT. The video lessons are clear and concise, and the practice questions are very helpful. I especially liked the Meaning-Based Approach to Verbal Reasoning, which helped me to improve my comprehension and accuracy.
Methods learned
I learned a lot of valuable strategies and methods from the course such as:
• The Meaning-Based Approach to Verbal Reasoning
• The Pre-Thinking Method for Reading Comprehension
I would strongly recommend one to understand and master both of these in order to attain a very high accuracy. These methods helped me to improve my speed and accuracy on the GMAT.
PACE time saving in quants
The PACE Method was particularly effective and helpful for me in Quants. Since I already possessed a foundational understanding of nearly all concepts in Quants, I saved A LOT OF TIME using PACE, which helped me identify the concept modules that I could skip. Therefore, I was able to successfully allot this time to further hone my verbal skills.
Quality of questions, mocks, and analytics on the platform
The quality of the questions in the e-GMAT question bank is very good. The questions are similar to the ones that are actually tested on the GMAT.
The analytics on the platform are very useful for tracking your progress and identifying your strengths and weaknesses. The post mock analysis becomes a cake walk as one is already provided with a lot of in depth analysis of one’s mock performance.
Other things I might have missed
• I also liked the flexibility of the e-GMAT course. I could study at my own pace and time. Also, the course is constantly being updated with new content and features.
Overall, I was very happy with the e-GMAT course. It helped me to improve my score from a 720 to a 780. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about scoring a high GMAT.
If you are looking for a comprehensive and effective GMAT prep course, I highly recommend e-GMAT.
Dear Sanniddhy,
Congratulations on a fantastic 780 with a perfect quant and V47! What a journey and what an achievement! Thank you for sharing an insight into your journey and for your valuable feedback!
I must say, you set out the right way by creating a Personalised Study Plan to create the roadmap of your reattempt journey.
Having created this roadmap, you did not leave any stone unturned in this path to excellence. You went back to basics, built your foundation by learning concepts and applications and then practiced these on GMAT-like questions on Scholaranium to master the applications. See how mastering the pre-thinking approach in CR helped you reach 96%ile ability:

We are really glad to know that you liked the course structure and content and saw the benefits of using the pre-thinking and meaning-based approach. It is heartening to know that internalising these processes helped you reach the top 1% in verbal.
“GMAT Quant”
Despite starting out at a Q50, it is commendable how you took all the steps required to replicate this Q50 or improve to a Q51. It is great that you used the PACE engine to guide your pathway through the quant studies.
We are happy to know that this strategy helped you save over 60 hours in quant prep. Just in Word Problems alone, you were able to save over 13 hours of prep time:

This strategic approach really helped you skip your strong areas while identifying and fixing your areas of weakness. This commitment to perfection is what helped you get to the top score in quant. See how the data on Scholaranium was able to predict your Q51:

Having built and refined your ability, you then leveraged the data on the platform to assess and improve your test-taking skills through the mocks.
The journey from good to great is not easy but with your improvement from 720 to 780, you have shown that with a structured, data-driven approach and a steadfast goal, anything is achievable. Congratulations again!
We wish you all the very best in all your future endeavours!
