"Ultimately, I am going to be the winner."

VS.

"I am going to be the winner at the end."

vdbWhich sounds better to you?
It depends on the context:

We are playing a tennis match today. We are evenly matched, and the score will seesaw back and forth, but I am going to be the winner at the end.

It's been a long struggle with this disease, and I won't let it defeat me. Ultimately, I am going to be the winner.

Broadly speaking, in the end is more likely than at the end.

Thank you for your reply.
This sentence "Ultimately, I am going to be the winner." seems more nature for me.

I am planning to take the exam at/in the beginning of March. The problem is I need to get 7 overall and not less than 6 on each.

Ultimately is fine, but less common in spoken English.

Which is better "Broadly speaking" or "In general"? Both are fine. Much depends on the context.

Can I say "Everything is fine from my side, so please check at your end or in your end"?
Say 'at', not 'in'.
