Khattak2144 - I am honored you are considering us especially considering that you probably have access to TTPs Verbal course free of charge.

The thing is I have heard many negative things for
Egmat also that it is heavily marketed mediocre product on other platforms like quora and reddit. I have
OG 2020 but should I go for
OG 2021?
View any course that "only" has positive reviews suspiciously. Why .. because no test prep company (or admission consultant for that matter) can make everyone successful. Success after all depends on your efforts as well. I would rather look at debriefs and reviews that have been validated either by score reports (as GC does) or by B-school email addresses. Those are very difficult to fake (how would you fake an mba.com score report that is linked to MBA.com). What else is difficult to fake - the 75+ success story interviews you will find in the link below:

Lastly, check the identities of those who have posted negative reviews on quora. You would find that most of them are fake.
Bottom line: Your GMAT score will probably have a huge impact on your future. So it probably wont hurt to do some primary research. What do you say?
What about the course being "heavily marketed"?One thing I can tell you is that a company is defined by two things:
1. The kind of people who work there
2. What jobs do they do
Out of ~47 people who work full time at
e-GMAT, just 3 work in Marketing. On the other hand, we have 8 "full-time" employees who work in technology and many more in SM (Quant + Verbal). We just completed a hiring round in March. While the positions themselves are closed, you can compare the # of open positions we had for sales/marketing vs. those for other functional roles (SM, Tech, CSC, GMAT Strategy) etc.
Here is the link to our careers portal.
One other thing - check out this company orientation if you want to know about our values.
How should you proceed?Good managers/leaders make good decisions. Try doing the same. Evaluate multiple products, starting with
TTP. See what works for you. A good way to evaluate
e-GMAT would be to attend the strategy session this weekend. That way you would be able to compare how we approach the test vs. how others do.
Here is the link to the same.
I am glad to see that you are putting in effort. Just stay focused and you should be able to ace the GMAT.
Cheers!!
Rajat
