Many GMAT takers struggle with time management but fail to understand that low ability and not, speed is the cause behind it. Ayush understood it and even after scoring 650 in his first GMAT attempt, he focused on identifying his weaknesses. He realized that his low accuracy and speed were just a product of his low ability level.<\/p>\n<p>To improve his ability level, he followed a methodical approach to preparing for the GMAT. What stands out about his success story is the fact that he developed an understanding of the correct application process of concepts. He clearly knew why a particular answer was correct or incorrect. That solidified his application process, made him more confident and he didn\u2019t second-guess his answers. This helped him reduce the time in answering the questions and he didn\u2019t guess questions towards the end of the section. The result was an outstanding 760 on the GMAT.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P2BJjeyqWPo?list=PLffGesY6kTxg9KtW8iY_RZpcaQTR6mAia&amp;rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>Navigation Suggestions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>0:36<\/strong> \u2013 Initial stages of GMAT preparation<\/li>\n<li><strong>4:52<\/strong> \u2013 Struggle with time management in sentence correction<\/li>\n<li><strong>6:46<\/strong> \u2013 Change in approach that led to GMAT 760<\/li>\n<li><strong>9:12<\/strong> \u2013 How analytics played a key role in achieving a high GMAT score<\/li>\n<li><strong>11:52<\/strong> \u2013 Second attempt at GMAT<\/li>\n<li><strong>19:06<\/strong> \u2013 What B-schools look for in a candidate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 Let\u2019s talk about the beginning &#8211; how did you start your GMAT preparation?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-16320 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-MBA-from-abroad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"503\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-MBA-from-abroad.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-MBA-from-abroad-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-MBA-from-abroad-768x456.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 My plan was to do an MBA from abroad. So, it was important to build my profile, get an ample amount of work experience and take the GMAT. So, my first plan was to ace the GMAT exam.<\/p>\n<p>So, I started with MGMAT books and referred to basic study material to a coaching center in Delhi. I also read articles on GMAT forums about GMAT format, dos and don\u2019ts of GMAT etc.<\/p>\n<p>At that point of time, I used to score Q47-48 and V33-34, but my verbal score was not consistent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16324 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-99-percentiler-tips-guidance.png\" alt=\"gmat guidance 99 percentiler\" width=\"754\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-99-percentiler-tips-guidance.png 754w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-99-percentiler-tips-guidance-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 Why do you think your score was low?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 I read on gmatclub forum that you must focus on initial questions and get them right and the last questions do not matter. Because of which I used to guess answers in the end. I was guessing 3-4 questions in Quant and 5-6 questions in Verbal. I failed to understand that because of this I wasn\u2019t managing my time properly.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 650 is a decent score. So, how would you attribute this score to the coaching center in Delhi vs the MGMAT books?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 Well, both explain the process of approaching a question, but one problem that I faced in MGMAT books was that they are extremely technical. They use a lot of jargons. On the other hand, the coaching study material was not holistic.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-16319 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 You talked about time management earlier. What problem did you face?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 I faced a problem of time management in Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning. There were a few questions which could be solved in 1 minute. But I took a lot of time and therefore, I struggled with managing time and guessed questions at the end of the exam.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 So, what was your strategy for the second attempt?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 My strategy was to improve my accuracy and speed. I didn\u2019t want to guess 6-7 questions at the end. So, I bought e-GMAT\u2019s complete course and started with Sentence Correction. I followed the process step by step. I was a bit skeptical about using the pre-thinking approach because I thought it would be a time-consuming process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-16322 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2-1080x1080.png 1080w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-99-percentiler-2.png 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, with practice, I improved as the process is very logical. Within 20 days of preparing, I could see improvement in my accuracy and speed. I felt more confident in answering questions and I wasn\u2019t guessing the answers anymore.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 How did you improve in Sentence Correction?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 I must say that the SC course of e-GMAT is very holistic. Every topic is covered in the course which can possibly come in the GMAT. Also, e-GMAT\u2019s focus on the meaning of the sentence rather than just the grammar part was really helpful. I never used to focus on the meaning of a sentence while approaching SC questions.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 How did Scholaranium help you?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-16321 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-time-management.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-time-management.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-time-management-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/GMAT-guidance-time-management-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/>Ayush \u2013 Once I was confident with the concepts and application part, I started practicing the questions on Scholaranium. The quality of questions is very good. I used to practice questions every day. I think it is very important to get in the rhythm of solving questions so that you can replicate that same thing in the GMAT. Moreover, once you are done with questions, it provides very detailed solution for each and every question. It helped me to understand why I got a question right or wrong. It helped me improve my application of concepts. Scholaranium really helped me prepare to tackle difficult questions on the GMAT.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 So, how was the exam day? In the earlier attempt, time management was an issue. Was it an issue this time too?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 Well, I started with Quant. It went like a breeze. I finished the section 5 minutes earlier. I was confident of scoring Q50 in Quant. Then I started with the Verbal Section. I used 2-3 minutes for the first question. But, then I started picking up the pace. The first 15-20 questions were really tough. After that, I realized that GMAT is throwing easier questions at me. However, I was still using the concepts learned to tackle those questions as well. I was really confused as to why I am getting easy questions but I still continued without getting bogged down. Once I saw the score on the screen, it was a beautiful feeling. I can\u2019t describe it in words.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 Now that you have scored a 760, what are your future plans?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush \u2013 I have around 3.5 years of work experience and the average work experience of MBA applicants is 4-5 years. So, I plan to apply next year for MBA. Moreover, I have cleared CFA level 2. So, I am planning to clear CFA level 3 as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 So, what are your future career plans?<\/h2>\n<p>Ayush &#8211; 10 years down the line, I want to work in the Private Equity industry. Therefore, now I\u2019ll start researching business schools which can help me achieve this goal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Ayush used a great study plan to reach 99 percentile on the GMAT.
