From 590 to 710!!!

I took the GMAT online test in July and ended up scoring a devastating 590! I was shattered. I did not know what went wrong. I immediately wrote to e-gmat team. They sent me a set of questions to analyse what really went wrong during the test. They also looked into my schoranium data to figure out what were my weak areas. And I figured out that the test anxiety really got over me. My schoranium scores showed that I had the ability, but I got very very nervous during the test which ruined the entire test!!
I took a day off and started over again. I looked into where I lacked. I followed the instructions given to me by Aditee (from e-gmat). Her detailed feedback really helped me to work on my weak areas. For example - I was not doing great in boldface questions in CR. In SC, I was always going wrong in comparison questions. I identified and worked on the questions from specific topics I lacked. And Scholaranium data helped my identify my weak areas!!
How E-GMAT course really helped me --
Starting with the Master Comprehension Course , I learned how to pause at specific points , read slowly and comprehend the meaning while reading. This technique really helps while comprehending long sentences!! Sentence Correction module is just mind-blowing. It is my favourite part of the E-GMAT course :) It teaches the meaning based approach, which actually helps to solve the 700 level questions. With just the grammar rules, one can solve the lower level questions, but for solving the higher level questions, one really needs to focus on the meaning of the sentence. Pre-thinking approach taught in critical reasoning module works wonders. It is difficult in the beginning to pre-think, but once you are able to pre-think, you can solve a question very easily.
The Scholaranium is a great tool to know your strengths and weaknesses and work on them. Please look at what the data is telling you!! If you are taking more time in solving a modifier SC questions, it means you need to go back to the modifier module and fill in your concept gaps. This is how I used the scholaranium to identify and work on my weaknesses.
I took the GMAT online test again in September. This time I kept two things in mind. 1) TRUST YOUR PREPARATION 2) IT'S JUST ANOTHER TEST, NOT THE END OF MY LIFE :) And I scored a 710 :)
