When did you start thinking about taking the GMAT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Rajat. I got to know about the GMAT from a friend who scored a 740 on the GMAT and received an admit to <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-carey-school-of-business-asu-mba-program-class-profile-employment-reports-salaries-notable-alumni\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona State University (W.P Carey School of Business)<\/a>. He proceeded to share some of the resources that he used in his GMAT preparation such as the Official Guides etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, when I saw a few GMAT questions online, I found them really easy as I was able to solve quant questions within 30 seconds and I thought that I could easily score a 750 maybe even a 780. However, when I looked at the hard questions in the official guide, I understood that not all <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/most-common-gmat-questions\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMAT questions<\/a> are that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-choosing-the-right-gmat-preparation-resource-being-a-working-professional\">Choosing the right GMAT Preparation resource being a working professional<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-22548 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Using-books-vs-a-Data-Driven-online-course-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"V23 to V39 - Using books vs a Data-Driven online course\" width=\"483\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Using-books-vs-a-Data-Driven-online-course-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Using-books-vs-a-Data-Driven-online-course-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Using-books-vs-a-Data-Driven-online-course-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Using-books-vs-a-Data-Driven-online-course-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Using-books-vs-a-Data-Driven-online-course-1080x675.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I am a working professional, I wasn\u2019t able to devote much time to preparing for the GMAT consistently. I used to practice sometimes on the weekends whenever I found some time. I remember I took an official mock and scored a 580 with a V23 in Verbal and immediately realized that verbal was a weak area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried studying from various books including Manhattan, however, I was not able to grasp the concepts efficiently. Moreover, it was taking quite a lot of time to cover the concepts and progress was slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After going through some online videos and not finding a reliable source of preparation I contacted the same friend. He suggested that I should take a look at e-GMAT as it was highly recommended by his friends as well. Thus, I decided to start my preparation in earnest with e-GMAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-what-difference-did-you-notice-once-you-started-your-preparation-using-the-e-gmat-course\">Rajat: What difference did you notice once you started your preparation using the e-GMAT course?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Within 2 weeks of starting my preparation using the e-GMAT, I was able to notice a lot of improvement in my ability especially the verbal section. Earlier I used to mark answers based on my gut feeling and based on how the answer sounds. However, using the e-GMAT course I was able to pinpoint the exact reason why the correct answer choice is right and why the other choices were incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another difference that I noticed was that my retention of concepts had improved dramatically. I was able to progress much faster with the video-based interactive e-GMAT course as compared to books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-how-was-your-first-gmat-attempt\">Rajat: How was your first GMAT attempt?<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-22547 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Understanding-the-difference-between-the-right-choice-and-the-wrong-options-1024x692.jpg\" alt=\"V23 to V39 - Understanding the difference between the right choice and the wrong options\" width=\"480\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Understanding-the-difference-between-the-right-choice-and-the-wrong-options-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Understanding-the-difference-between-the-right-choice-and-the-wrong-options-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Understanding-the-difference-between-the-right-choice-and-the-wrong-options-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Understanding-the-difference-between-the-right-choice-and-the-wrong-options-1080x730.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My first GMAT attempt which was approximately 40 days after I started studying using the e-GMAT course, I scored a 660 with a V35 in the verbal section. I was very happy with the improvement in verbal. In fact, I believe it was higher than the score I had got in any of my sectional tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it was not a smooth journey to this point. There were numerous days filled with frustration when I was practicing using Scholaranium. I remember there were times when I scored between 2-4%ile in sectional quizzes, especially in RC. In some RC passages, I was not able to answer even half the questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-how-did-you-overcome-the-frustration-what-was-your-mental-journey-like-at-that-point\">Rajat: How did you overcome the frustration? What was your mental journey like at that point?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-\">&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My elder brother was a great source of inspiration and motivation. He asked me to not give up and lose hope. Thus, I kept my cool and continued to focus on my preparation. I went through the relevant parts of the course again and continued to practice using Scholaranium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-how-was-your-2nd-gmat-attempt\">Rajat: How was your 2nd GMAT attempt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my second attempt, I was taken aback by my quant score. I ended up scoring a Q45, something which I had never imagined. However, I was satisfied with my verbal score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I decided to take a break from preparing for the GMAT. I took a break of 2 months before I got back to my preparation. I started my preparation in March again by going through the e-GMAT verbal course. This time, I focused on following the meaning-based approach for SC and the pre-thinking based approach for CR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For quant, I completely relied on the e-GMAT course which I found to be more than sufficient for solving any and all GMAT questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-how-did-you-start-preparing-for-your-3rd-attempt\">Rajat: How did you start preparing for your 3rd attempt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h--1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-22546 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Reviewing-concepts-and-then-practicing-application-using-scholaranium-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"V23 to V39 - Reviewing concepts and then practicing application using scholaranium\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Reviewing-concepts-and-then-practicing-application-using-scholaranium-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Reviewing-concepts-and-then-practicing-application-using-scholaranium-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Reviewing-concepts-and-then-practicing-application-using-scholaranium-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/V23-to-V39-Reviewing-concepts-and-then-practicing-application-using-scholaranium-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I ordered the ESR for my 2<span style=\"font-size: 11.6667px;\">nd<\/span>&nbsp;attempt. On <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/3-steps-how-to-analyze-a-gmat-enhanced-score-report\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analyzing my ESR<\/a> I came to know that performed poorly in quant due to several silly mistakes. Also, I realized that I was not very confident about my ability in the Verbal section. Thus, I went through all the concepts again and discovered many things that I had either missed out on or overlooked during my preparation earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, based on my Scholaranium data I figured out my weak areas and proceeded to revise concepts in those areas one more time. I noticed that in CR, I was getting &#8216;evaluate&#8217; type questions wrong. For RC I resolved to read the passage slowly and deliberately and follow the strategies that were suggested in the e-GMAT course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through sectional mock tests, I was able to track my improvement. I was confident about scoring in the V36 range as I was consistently scoring the same in my sectional tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-what-was-your-preparation-strategy-for-quant\">Rajat: What was your preparation strategy for Quant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For quant, I went through the e-GMAT concept files and application files once again. After that, I decided to focus only on taking sectional tests. I practiced using Scholaranium and GMAT Club quant tests. From then on, I focused on performing consistently and repeating the same performance as in my sectional tests on test day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rajat-how-was-your-3rd-gmat-attempt\">Rajat: How was your 3rd GMAT attempt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On test day, I finished the Quant section 2.5 minutes before time and on verbal I was able to answer all question except one question. I knew that I had performed well in quant and was sure of scoring a Q50 or Q51. I was hoping that I performed well enough in verbal to score a V35 or a V36 so that I could score a 720 overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was such a relief to see the GMAT 740 (Q51 V39) score pop up on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rajat:<\/strong> Congratulations once again on scoring a GMAT 740 and the amazing improvement from a V23 to V39.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em><strong>If you want to try out the e-GMAT course that helped Vivek make the jump of 160 points from a GMAT 580 (in his first mock test) to 740,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/free-trial-registration\/?channel=blogsin_article&amp;utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=free_trial&amp;utm_content=about_the_gmat&amp;utm_term=blogs_in_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">sign up for our Free Trial.&nbsp;We can also help you with a personalized study plan and give you&nbsp;access to quality online content<\/a>&nbsp;to prepare.
