Hey Everyone!
I recently took the GMAT test and scored a 730 (QA50, VA39). I had given my previous attempt a month ago, where I landed a 620 on the test. I improved my score by a whopping 110 points in one month. I would like to share my experience briefly about my GMAT journey.
I gave my first E-gmat Sigma X Mock and scored a 590. That's when I recognized the extent of enhancements required in my study approach, prompting me to enroll in the e-gmat course. Needless to say, the interface of the e-gmat dashboard is impeccable. The division of Quant and Verbal into various subtopics provides a student with the precise and accurate topic-wise breakdown of the syllabus, really helping to understand the weak and strong areas. The P.A.C.E feature helped me save a lot of time in my preparation.
I meticulously went through each module, ensuring completion of every practice quiz question and application question to enhance my skills. After each section, I took the Cementing quizzes, which really helped me gain confidence. I not only built my skills but also ensured that my understanding of the topics is crystal clear.
The next phase of my preparation involved multiple quizzes (Topic-wise Quiz, Mixed quiz, etc.) of varying lengths. The quiz structure was provided to me by my mentor, Abha. The quizzes contained medium to hard-level questions, and my aim was to achieve around 70-80% accuracy in them. Initially, I found the quizzes to be challenging, but towards the end of my preparation, I realized that these quizzes are helping me further in the preparation. Following several quizzes, I developed effective time management skills, achieving greater accuracy by discerning which questions to skip and which ones to attempt. I largely focused on accuracy in these quizzes as I was already done with the concept part.
Next came the Mock ramp-up phase when I started giving Sigma X mocks. In those mocks, I scored between 650-700. One notable aspect of the Sigma X mocks is their comprehensive analysis of errors by topic, coupled with a progression analysis. These mocks helped me identify specific areas where I was struggling and provided guidance on how to enhance my performance. The mock structure closely mirrored that of the actual GMAT exam.
When I first wrote the exam, I scored a 620 (VA27, QA48). To be honest, I was quite surprised because I was crystal clear in the concepts and had made sure to cover each and every aspect thoroughly. I decided not to give up and gave myself another month before going for the exam again. Finally, after one month of hard work, I booked the exam date and gave my best foot forward. Once I hit the submit button and saw the score, I was overwhelmed with joy and tears of happiness. After a dismal 620 in the previous attempt, I had scored a 730!
I’m really grateful to E-gmat for providing me with an excellent mentor. Abha helped me throughout the journey by constantly pushing me and motivating me to do better. I would request her for ad-hoc calls, and she would always be available for me. The combinations of the quizzes provided by her really helped me to get to my current score. Overall, the course is extensive and totally worth every penny. I would definitely recommend the same to test-takers.
Thank you!
