A bumpy ride with a smooth ending. My 705 journey!

I took 2 attempts on the GMAT Focus to reach to a 705 in my second attempt (with the first being a 655). It took me 3.5 months to reach my target score of 685+. In my first month, most of my time was dedicated to the course videos present in the e-gmat course and the rest of the 2 months were focussed on exam strategy and timing management. E-gmat's personalised mentorship was a gamechanger for me as I was given much important direction to build a solid strategy and identify areas of improvement comprehensively. My mock scores in official mocks ranged from 665 to 715, with most of the scores between 695-705. On the test day, I followed the sectional order of Q,DI,break, VR. I wasnt able to solve the first question on the QA and ended up spending 6 minutes initially on it. However, the rest of the questions were fairly easy, hence I was left with 12 minutes spare post completion of the section to return to the first question and edit it to the correct answer. The DI and VR section was fairly smooth. The E-gmat scholararium was key to facilitate necassary practice to master every GMAT topic!

TTP is as good as it gets, just like everyone else here has said. I think what I appreciate most about the course is the team. As you can see, the team is all over the forums supporting their subscribers and others alike. They are go-getters who want to provide an A+ experience and they do so. The material is deep enough where it would take a full 3 months to review everything, so you may need to be strategic on a limited timeline. The custom practice tests are a great way to find your strengths and weaknesses and continue to refine them

In the age of Artificial Intelligence it feels really nice to be catered by Human Intelligence. Egmat does exactly that. In my previous attempts I had tried things my own way with a subscription of a particularly famous organization. But it lacked the interactive aspect that is a usp for egamt.
All concepts are explained in videos. Their algorithm is carefully designed to gauge your skills and adapt with that.
The PACE feature allows you to skip skills which you are already confident in. But it feels like the olden days as if a coach is there to guide you. I have, on occasions not liked some explanations and replied to them and they have promptly replied and a proper argument led to a rectification of the issue.
Too many organizations have claimed to not use any 'gimmicks' or quick tricks to ace the exam. I can attest personally that egmat, (sometimes a bit annoyingly) always avoids quick fixes. This forces you to adopt the conceptual clarity and as they like to call it 'own the dataset!'
Following the basic principles of learning and no quick tricks the curriculum induced in me a regular habit of the pre-thinking and falsification techniques. I was able to handle complicated CR questions i.e. rejecting the right options for the right reasons and narrowing down the best option.
One ability that always felt impossible for me was completing the first RC question within 3.5 minutes. But egmat's resources allowed me to handle the same with ease.
They have a strongly crafted set of resources for the DI section which I felt was an apt reflection of the official test.
It goes without saying that the quant section is as good as expected.
If their methodical approach of learning, cementing and test readiness is adopted there is no reason why one can't ace the gmat.

Course e-GMAT Online Intensive

Location Online

Methodology
- Simply put, the methodology consists of learning content for each sub-module (e.g. CR), practicing this content to reinforce learnings (called “Cementing”), and then practicing all parts of each module together (e.g. Verbal)
-In my opinion, this works quite well, especially in cases like mine where I had no idea what was tested on the GMAT. With this, I could fill all “knowledge gaps” I had on each topic and reinforce the new learnings before moving on to the next one
-As a con, this approach followed to the letter may not be the most time-efficient, so those with less time available probably would need to adapt it. Also, I would’ve liked more focus on tips for facing the test (e.g., solve some Quant questions by choice analysis or other shortcuts, practice on timing and skipping, etc.)
-For Verbal questions, learning was based on "Pre-thinking", which is basically doing specific reasoning (depending on the type of question) before reading and selecting choices. In my experience, these strategies were valuable in the first stage of learning, although in my particular case I had to adapt them quite a bit for the real exam: as in my case I have some difficulties with English, I needed more time to read and understand the texts, and if I developed the complete pre-thinking then I spent too much time per question; as I could not improve this much, I developed a "simplified" pre-thinking in which my focus was on understanding the logical thread of the arguments. Basically, I would recommend doing these pre-thinkings at the beginning to reinforce learning, but then practicing to find the optimal distribution of time between reading the text, pre-thinking and reading/analysis of alternatives
-The platform also teaches some reading strategies that can be helpful in Verbal, especially in RC. In my case, it was difficult to apply them all and always, but I think that having some in mind helps improve reading speed and comprehension (practice them is key)

Resources
- In my opinion, the strongest point of e-GMAT. You can find both the material to learn and a good set of questions to practice, as well as 5 mocks (I took 4/5, and I consider that they were of pretty good quality). In addition, together with the e-GMAT subscription you are entitled to a few months of GMAT Club quizzes, which I found to be an excellent complement
- As a con, I think sometimes questions are more “complex” than in the real exam (e.g., in Quant, some Hard questions are too long, while in the real exam I found hard questions to be “trickier” rather than longer). For this reason, in my case it was useful to complement the study with the GMAT Focus Edition Official Guide (you can find OG questions in GMAT Club too).

Support
- With your e-GMAT subscription you are assigned a mentor, and in my case, my mentor was of great help for my improvement since she helped me define concrete actions based on my results. I would recommend being proactive in seeking help from your mentor, given that I found the base resources (like the study plan) quite generic
- I would also like to mention that I was part of The Last Mile Program, which consists of having a more personalized plan and greater follow-up by your mentor. I consider both points to have been very important towards the end of my study since, as I mentioned before, my mentor was developing specific action plans based on how I was doing, and the continuous follow-up also forced me to be more consistent in my study

I hope this review is useful. Good luck in learning and preparing!!­

I highly recommend e-GMAT as a test preparation course. I particularly emphasize the Verbal section, which was incredibly helpful in achieving a high score, especially considering that English is not my native language. The Quant and DI sections are also excellent, and the way the material is taught is ideal for learning step by step, following a very clear structure. Additionally, the Scholaranium is very useful for practicing and tracking your learning progress and results.

Moreover, I greatly appreciate the personalized attention from the e-GMAT team, who are always available to resolve doubts and monitor the study process. It was truly positive to have that personalized support. In this regard, the Last Mile Push was extremely helpful in wrapping up the preparation and focusing on the final details that needed to be corrected to face the test successfully. During this stage, Rida provided exceptional support, being very attentive to the doubts and concerns that arose.

TTP is really an amazing platform that certainly helped me to score 715 (Q88, V85, DI83) in the GMAT Focus Edition. What I loved most about the course was the level of detail of each lesson, the Study Plan design and the Error Tracker. I feel the course is designed specifically to make you an expert in every topic, because it really makes you practice until you can answer each question with multiple strategies.
The only advice I would give someone that would like to purchase this course is to give yourself enough time to master each topic. It took me about 6 months to complete the course with a full-time job, which I know is a lot of time. There were days where I felt impatient or felt I was not advancing at the pace I wanted. However, I followed the TTP Study Plan as closely as I could, and I would advise all people to do the same. Trust the process. If you give you enough time to read, understand and master each topic, you will certainly achieve your dream score.

Overall, I attributed most of my score improvement from my previous attempts to this attempt to TTP Flexible Prep Course. Some of the features and strategies recommended that were the most helpful to me:
+ Study plan featuring comprehensive syllabus of topics and question types that GMAT asks
+ Active review worksheet: complement the course syllabus closely. I would advise all students to actively take notes to absorb the contents from the study notes better. This really helped me memorize the knowledge almost instantly and become a quick source for reference as I was doing my practice tests.
+ lots and lots of practice questions and tests: nothing is more effective in upskilling than practice, practice, practice. and this course provides an abundance of practice tests, dedicated reviews, on-target practices (where based on your performance in practice tests & study notes, TTP picked specific questions for you to practice in a dedicated on-target practice test)

As someone who is inherently skeptical about paid test preparatory courses and attempted to take the GMAT twice just from studying on my own, TTP Prep Course really debunked my skepticism. It was, no doubt, my most worthwhile and rewarding investment in boosting my GMAT score. Highly recommended for anyone who just started looking at GMAT or who struggled to break through to achieve a score you desire.

The content is trustworthy and helps a student from scratch. The topic based development is appreciable. One can expect good and genuine support for the team. The team works hard for the students so that they can reach the goal. The question bank matches/surpasses the standards of GMAT Focus test. The cementing quizzes give a good flavour of actual test. The videos are engaging and discusses every option at length. Further there are complimentary test access to GMAT Club. In a way it is pocket friendly and surpasses the standards of certain leading Indian coaching centers. However please note that GMAT as a test demands some basic skills in quant and verbal without which no coaching can help you. GMAT also tests how fast you can implement your skills. It also demands lot of practice and dedication. e-GMAT team ensures that you are practicing hard.

E-Gmat, A great place to improve your score by atleast 50 points

Hi, My name is Abin Selby and I recently scored a score of 675 on the focus edition (Q84,V84,DI82) with the help of E-Gmat LMP program. Do I would like to post my experience here so as to help other students who are in similar position as me.

I had started this course on 9th March 2024 and through the LMP program I was assigned my mentor Rashmi Ma'am without whom I wouldn't have been able to get the score I got. Now like most Indians my quant was strong (though didn't get what I expected in the test :/) my verbal was weak, and to add to that, with my busy schedule at work I was away from studies for a long time. So after my first mock with E-Gmat (I scored 615) I connected with Rashmi Ma'am wherein she guided me through my report and highlighted places to improve on. She then made me a personalized plan to follow so as to increase my score. Now for 2 months in between I wasn't able to study due to work and even with that she believed that I could get a good score with a month in hand. That's what propelled me to focus even more on Gmat and here we are with a score of 675😁 (96th Percentile) a 60 POINT IMPROVEMENT.
Now that might not seem like a lot for some people but I am happy with it and this wouldn't have been possible for me without E-Gmat.
I hope this helps atleast a few people 😁😁

Peace ✌️

My journey from 595 to 665

I am thankful to e-gmat for providing exceptional support during my GMAT journey.
My GMAT journey started in May'2023 when I gave my first attempt. I had not signed up for any course and took the exam after 1-2 months of self study from Official guide and GMAT club. I received a score of 650 (much lower than my target score of 700+). After interaction with alumni from my target schools (IIM A,B, C and ISB) and considering my strong academics, I applied to my target schools with this score. Fortunately, I received calls from IIM B, C and ISB but couldn't convert any of them. Hence, I planned to re-write the exam. Since all my peers had improved their scores through e-gmat course, they advised me to join the course. I did not want to take any chances this time and so, I joined e-gmat's focused study course in Mar'24.
Before beginning the course, I was required to take a diagnostic mock test in which I scored a 595 (V79, DI74, Q86). The journey from these scores to my final 665 was challenging, but e-GMAT's comprehensive approach made it possible. e-GMAT's PSP (Personalised study Plan) feature helped provide a clear picture of the time required to achieve my target score. I could also input my tentative study hours for each day in advance, which ensured that the plan was thorough.
Coming to the course, the course is so intricately designed and structured that it ensures interactive and immersive learning. Each course is followed by an assessment quiz, which are followed by application and practice files containing more practice questions. After completion of a course, cementing quizzes are to be passed without which the course is not considered complete.
E-GMAT's pre-thinking approach for Critical reasoning is a game changer and makes solving CR questions a cake walk.
The Quant course is also excellent. Being from engineering background, I had good quant skills already but lacked the process skills required to solve 21 questions within a time span of 45 minutes, that too with a high accuracy. The skills taught in the course along a large pool of practice questions helped me improve my Quant accuracy from 80% to 95%.
After completing the Verbal and Quant courses, The Data Interpretation questions seemed pretty easy to understand and solve. Furthermore, the course approach of teaching through case study application and practice files really helped. My DI score improved from 74 to 81.
Last but not the least, The Last Mile Push (LMP) program played a key role in my success. The thorough study plan devised in the program helped improve my accuracy on Hard questions.
E-GMAT team's continual support, strategic guidance, mock analysis and feedback throughout the program is commendable.
I highly recommend e-GMAT course to everyone aspiring to achieve a decent GMAT score.
