GMAT 710 Q48 V40 - Thanks to e-GMAT and Atreya!

My journey of a 710 Q48 V40 on the GMAT was slightly longer than I had expected to be. I started preparing for GMAT in February 2021 with the hopes of getting a decent score that would put me in a competitive range. Initially, my preparation was largely self-driven, and I relied on my notes from early years. However, I quickly realised that Quant on the GMAT is not that straight forward, and enough time has passed since I graduated college that I have become rusty and will need help.

I evaluated a lot of programs GMAT preparation and ended up choosing e-GMAT. There were multiple things I immediately loved about the e-GMAT portal, especially the adaptive nature of the modules and how it helps you understand what your strengths and weaknesses are on specific sections of Quant and Verbal. SigmaX mocks are also helpful in gauging you preparation levels and help in general prepare for the D-day!

I really want to call out the help I received from my guide on e-GMAT, Atreya (Atreya Roy, if you are wondering what his full name is!). Gem of a person and one hell of a GMAT support! He played a pivotal role in me getting a 710 on the GMAT - from initially guiding me on how I should plan my overall preparation (with hyper-specific plans) to helping me daily whenever needed in fine tuning my preparation to helping plan a final 7 days schedule before my exam. He was always there and was always available for help. I remember him replying to my texts at 1 AM in the night and getting on calls whenever I had a clarification. I sincerely believe that he played a very big role in me getting the score of 710 and I genuinely cannot thank him enough for this help and support. While I would recommend e-GMAT to anyone looking for good quality GMAT coaching, I would very highly recommend you ask for Atreya by name in case you do end up choosing e-GMAT.
