Unveiling the Triumph of Ujali Verma: A GMAT 730 Success Story

This is the story of Ms. Ujali Verma, who tamed the GMAT on her second attempt with a stupendous score of GMAT 730 (96th percentile) and a V42 (96th percentile). Ujali had achieved a GMAT Verbal score of V36, with a 680, in her first GMAT attempt. This is a story of how Ujali tackled adversarial conditions that would have deterred many and tamed the GMAT Verbal section.

A Tutor’s Pride: Nurturing GMAT Success Stories

As a tutor, I have always believed in the transformative power of education. Over the past month, I have had the privilege of helping 3 students secure the coveted GMAT 730+ and V41+ scores. By establishing a strong rapport with my students, I create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable expressing their doubts, concerns, and goals. It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I share the success stories of my students, highlighting the strategies and methodologies that have empowered my students to unleash their full potential and illustrating the tenacity and determination that my students show during the journey.

The Strong-Willed Ujali Verma: A Visionary GMAT Achiever

The latest GMAT 730 scorer, among a burgeoning list of such scorers, is the strong-willed and magnanimous Ujali Verma. Ujali and I worked together over 4 months dedicatedly on the Verbal section. When Ujali approached me in February through a reference, she had secured a 660 on the GMAT, with a Verbal V36 (79th %ile). She had a very clear vision from the time we had our first call in terms of potentially working together, and it is this vision and strong-willed dedication, coupled with a to-do attitude, that I admire most about her and aspire to learn from. Her vision required a score of at least 720 to make any time or resource investment worthwhile. We understood clearly where the majority of this improvement was to come from—the Verbal section.

A Vision Focused on GMAT Verbal Mastery

We worked on the most advanced of Verbal concepts and further strengthened an already well-established base. This had to be the best course of action, as her base was fairly robust (she had scored a V36 previously). We kept track of the progress at different stages of our journey through an error log. Any questions stemming from the document were dissected and analyzed in great detail. We planned the schedule around mocks and the final exam. All in all, we demanded a lot and held each other accountable.

Some people think that being demanding is negative. However, I think that being demanding contributes to growth. Ujali (rightly) demanded from me conceptual clarity, progress tracking, and mock analysis. I (rightly) demanded from Ujali her explanations and thought process for incorrect questions, completion of a certain number of questions, and documentation of her mistakes. In this way, our demands from each other played a tremendous role in and paved the way to Ujali’s securing a 16 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 improvement in 4 months, a feat she achieved while living in a foreign country, having a packed work schedule and familial commitments. This growth could not have resulted without the demands.

Ujali’s Phenomenal Improvement in Verbal Scores

Ujali’s exceptional GMAT 730 exemplifies her grit, relentless hard work, vision, and my belief in her potential. With a meticulous focus on advanced grammar in Sentence Correction, she leapfrogged from a V36 (79th percentile) to a phenomenal V42 (96th percentile), achieving a remarkable 17 percentile improvement in just 3 and a bit months! While, on the outside, such an improvement may seem remarkable, it wasn’t the least bit surprising to me. The amount of hard work we had put in merited this improvement. The sacrifice that Ujali had made merited this improvement. We analyzed till the very last day leading up to the exam. The thoroughness of Ujali’s efforts warranted her improvement.

Nerves of Steel: Ujali’s Steadfast Commitment

That Ujali had the wherewithal to approach Verbal methodically despite scoring a V36 on her first attempt speaks of her vision and our belief that she can reach the echelons of V42+. That she managed this while living in a foreign country during civil unrest is a testament to her courage and willingness to learn. She progressed with ice-like calmness and ruthlessness. That the Lady of Steel never left anything to chance, taking efforts to ensure that all her doubts were sorted, is a testament to her nerves of steel. Her ice-like calmness and relentless dedication set her apart. She leaves no stone unturned, seeking clarity with utmost precision. Ujali‘s nerves of steel shine through, making her a true inspiration. 💪

Ujali Verma is a true exemplification of the ladies of steel who live in our world today. Many well-deserved accolades to her!
