Chayanika’s GMAT Verbal Journey: From V25 to V83 with GMAT30
For many aspiring MBA candidates, the GMAT journey is often filled with ups and downs. Chayanika’s story is no different. When she first attempted the GMAT Classic, she scored 580, with the GMAT Verbal being her biggest weakness, scoring just V25 (35th percentile).
Despite using the Official Guide and other recommended resources, her Verbal score remained stagnant. No matter how much she practiced, she couldn’t see meaningful improvement. It was at this crucial juncture that a friend, who had significantly improved his own GMAT score, introduced her to GMAT30 and me. Intrigued by his success, she decided to take private tutoring from Paramjit Sir through GMAT30, hoping to turn her Verbal performance around.
The Turning Point: GMAT30’s GMAT Verbal Private Tutoring
Chayanika opted for just two sessions with Paramjit Sir, supplemented by a few follow-up sessions to clear doubts, with a primary focus on Critical Reasoning (CR). During these sessions, Paramjit Sir introduced her to mathematical frameworks and logical patterns behind CR questions. For an engineer like Chayanika, this approach made all the difference. Instead of relying on intuition, she now had a structured and logical method to tackle Verbal questions.
This shift in perspective was a game-changer. As her CR accuracy improved, so did her performance in Reading Comprehension (RC). The logical thinking she developed for CR passages helped her approach RC questions more efficiently, enabling her to grasp complex passages quickly and answer questions with higher accuracy.
The GMAT Verbal Process: Practice, Strategy, and Continued Support
As she continued her preparation, Chayanika practiced rigorously using GMAT Club quizzes and full-length mock tests. Whenever she encountered doubts, she reached out to Paramjit Sir, who was always quick to respond with clear explanations. Beyond just solving doubts, he played a crucial role in analyzing her mock tests, identifying weak areas, and refining her test-taking strategy.
His structured approach and continued mentorship helped Chayanika not only improve her verbal skills but also gain confidence in her overall test performance. With every practice test, she saw tangible improvements, reinforcing her belief in the process.
Her biggest challenge was maintaining consistency and managing test anxiety. Like many GMAT aspirants, she often found herself second-guessing her answers and feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of the exam. However, with Paramjit Sir’s encouragement and structured learning plan, she learned to manage stress, trust her preparation, and stay focused during the test.
The Final Breakthrough: GMAT 675 and Imperial College, UK
Through disciplined practice and Paramjit Sir’s guidance, Chayanika transformed her Verbal score from V25 (35th percentile in GMAT Classic) to V83 (84th percentile in GMAT Focus Edition). Her overall score skyrocketed to 675 (730 equivalent in GMAT Classic), a remarkable improvement that opened new doors for her MBA aspirations. She made full use of her tremendous score to work hard on her applications, and she secured a seat at the coveted Imperial College, UK.
The journey was not easy, but the results made it all worth it. Chayanika’s perseverance, coupled with the right guidance, helped her unlock her full potential. This experience also taught her the importance of targeted practice and a methodical approach, which she now believes are crucial for any GMAT aspirant aiming for a top score.
