Advise choosing between empowergmat and target test Prep (TTP)

Hi msjulita,

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different study materials that you might use, so you have to consider which materials fit best with your personality and 'style' of learning. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you might have - and it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long ago did you put in that initial 2 months of studying (was it recent of further back?)? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi msjulita,

When you choose a resource, make sure to choose one which helps you with the right aspects for your GMAT preparation. As GMAT mainly tests your application skills, the resource you choose must help you with:

• Concepts
• Methodology (Very important)
• Practice questions
• Their detailed solutions

So, you first learn the concepts of a particular topic, then learn the methodology to solve questions of that topic and only then practice questions to solidify your learning. This is how you go about your GMAT preparation. The resource you choose must make your prep a lot more structured and effective.

And one more important thing to look for in a course is the study plan. To make your prep effective, you need to be really consistent. So, a study plan will help you to be consistent. Having said that, you cannot follow a study plan which doesn't suit you. For example, a person who can dedicate just 3 hours a day cannot have the same study plan as a person who can dedicate 6 hours a day. So, the study plan has to be personalized. And not just that, it's important to have the right guidance from the mentor because students often get stuck in the middle of their prep and do not understand how to proceed further.



The better way to choose an online course is to check the free trials of the courses and then decide which suits you the most. I suggest you to check the free trial of GMATWhiz and then take a decision. It provides you with a personalized study plan by taking into account the number of hours you can dedicate for studies in a week. It focuses mainly on the application of concepts and has detailed solutions for the questions which helps you to learn the right methodology. And a dedicated mentor will be assigned to the student once he/she enrolls for the course. The student can get in touch with the mentor once in every 15 days to seek guidance on how to proceed further.

Hope it helped. If you have any queries regarding the study strategy or the resource, you can get in touch with me using the below link. I will be happy to help.

Hi msjulita,

Have you had a chance to check out the trial to TTP?

Both are good . But to decide on which one to take based on your need , you can go with trial of both the courses .What many people say that TTP is great for Quant and empowergmat is excellent for verbal overall .

Hi msjulita,

For Quat, you can try TTP. They have well structured course and lots of questions(Easy,Medium and Hard) to solve/build your understanding.
