Hey everyone,

Hope everyone reading this, is doing fine!
So, let me give a brief about my GMAT preparation journey and few of the important factors that helped me along the way. I began my preparation for the GMAT towards the end of May 2020. . Upon some research and some credible sources later, I decided on e-GMAT as the final decision, and boy, did I not regret it a bit!
Since I had given myself only 2 months to prepare for the GMAT, I decided to buy the GMAT Online course (Verbal and Quants). The course was great, and a special shout out for their Verbal course and the depth and the modularity of it just makes it so easy for the student. I am glad that, this was my first choice of preparation.
The course apart, what really impressed me was their exceptional support team, which was always there for any query , be it related to the course or the strategy ahead. I was given very detailed solutions to my query, which definitely helped me focus on the more important stuff.
One of e-GMAT's best products is the SigmaX Mocks. This not only emulates the adaptive nature of the GMAT, but also provides ESR like analysis and loads of granular data to learn from. It was of great help. One of the better examples, was when I reached out to the support team post one of my mocks, to get their analysis on the same. Mr. Dhananjay(DJ) responded to me with a detailed analysis of the mock, and provided inputs which would later help me channelize my energy, to get a high score.
In his analysis, he had highlighted points like my struggle with letting go of questions and hence jeopardizing my chances at further questions. He also brought out through his analysis, the fact that I was being over-cautious at the start, when it could be seen that I was able to solve harder questions later at a much faster rate.
Such points helped me shift my focus from only concepts to developing a test taking strategy and a smart skipping strategy. I started consciously practicing the art of letting go, as suggested by Mr. Dhananjay. He also laid out a detailed step by step path for the last few days prior to the GMAT. It was designed along the path of polishing the slightly weaker areas, but also working at developing a test taking stamina. These points really helped me get ready for the test and overcome any jitters there might have been. I did end up with a good score, and I would like to thank Dhananjay and the whole support team of e-GMAT.
