I finally got a 700 in my GMAT today ( Q50 , V34) .
I wanted to take the opportunity to share my journey here to help all students who are perhaps confused among the many sources available for preparation.
I started my journey with e-GMAT sometime back and my first GMAT Prep Official mock was 560 (Q45,V22). Given an engineering background i was confident of being able to do well in Quant if i brush up on some concepts, however the Verbal score was very disappointing. Here i would like to share that even though i am a non native speaker, my medium of study has always been English - thus a V22 was shocking.
My friend recommended e-GMAT to me for improving my Verbal. Here i would like to highlight that the course is very structured with a focus on 3 stages of learning - Building a strong foundation , cementing methods learnt, Gauging the Ability through custom quizzes and full length tests. The entire Verbal course focusses on meaning based approach , which is the key to getting higher scores.
The verbal course helped me improve my point by 8 and My first GMAT attempt was at 620 ( Q43, V31). I would like to highlight here that i did not focus on Quant much except solving OG questions. While i did well in the OG questions, the actual GMAT quant was much tougher especially if you are aiming at scores above Q48. I came back and wrote to the support team in E-GMAT. Within a few hours , i got a response from them - with an analysis of my account and requesting an ESR. I did provide the ESR and again within a few hours - i got a full analysis of my ESR, where i might be going wrong and what i should be doing to improve my scores. Again a very step by step approach was suggested - with major emphasis on doing the QUANT 2.0 course.
This course is a game changer ! The structure of the course again is on the 3 stages of learning - however they very interestingly have divided the modules such that you first give a Diagnostic test ( by topic) to gauge your understanding on the topic - then you have concepts, practice tests and then GMAT level question practice. Each module has been designed the same way and in the end you are recommended to go back and do the diagnostic test.
That in itself is a proof because you immediately would see your scores increasing.
Given that I was working full time , i was looking for something structured, on point and with best ROI of my time and Quant 2.0 course of eGMAT was exactly that. I would highly recommend this to professionals as it would help you reduce your prep time significantly. One more interesting feature of the course is that you have video solutions for everything and you can adjust the speed of watching the video :)
Post the course , cementing and practicing questions - the actual GMAT test seemed much simpler and the evidence is the Q50 i scored.
I also would like to highlight the role of the support team here - DJ, Ashutosh, Nava - the response time as well as the willingness to help is really commendable. They do care for every student's score, career and time as if it was their own .
Highly recommend the course !
Good luck on your GMAT journey
