I used Target Test Prep for close to 2 months as I studied for my second go at GMAT online, which at the time was the last time we could take it too.

I went with TTP specifically after reading these reviews and how they moved the needle with quant: back to add another positive review for that reason!

Despite studying for a good 4-6 months before my first exam (stopping and starting with COVID first breaking out), the truth is I just hadn’t fully grasped quant and was avoiding it. I was just getting a 700 by the skin of my teeth (my first gmat score), and I wanted to be much more comfortably in the upper range. I had tried rewatching videos from another learning platform over and over but something wasn’t sticking.

Enter TTP and those tough spots really unstuck. More than that, there were really useful tips throughout that ended up saving me a lot of time in the way I calculated answers in the exam. In my mock exams I scored 730+s, and despite every obstacle on the day - 3 hour check in process and unexpected construction next door! - I still achieved a 710.

Last but not least, the TTP team themselves, particularly Scott and Jeff, are absolutely fantastic. Any question any time you’ll get a quick, friendly response. They really made the difference for me.

Good luck to anyone studying - try out the free week on TTP and you’ll get why we all came back to write reviews. ⭐️💫

Hi,

Target Test Prep helped me get a score of 710 (Q47 V 40) on the GMAT, which I took in May 2021. I had ample time to prepare so I signed up for the maximum learning plan (6 months).

What I liked about the program is it teaches you the quant concepts and formulas, as well as practice problems to make sure you've retained the material. I had previously used Manhattan Prep's in-person course and felt that Manhattan was good in teaching me strategy for the exam, but TTP was better in teaching me content which is what I really needed help with.

I mostly used TTP for the quant portion, while for the verbal I used mostly practice problems from the Official Guide. What TTP is good for is helping expose you to all the different possible topics on the exam, so that even if on the actual test you are faced with a specific question you haven't seen before, you can use the tools you've learned from the TTP program to approach the topic being asked on the actual exam.

Target Test Prep is the sole reason for my 130 point improvement. It helps you transition from measuring progress by hours counted to content absorbed. As a task oriented person, the way that the course is structured was vital to my success. If you follow the plan laid out by the course and put in the work, there is no reason that your score should not dramatically improve. The course gives you everything you need to succeed and is incredibly affordable! As you move along in the course, the target accuracies on the review quizzes give you a sense for how well you are progressing towards your target score. As you continue to move forward, the analytics that the course provides are incredibly helpful. For every mistake you make, you have an opportunity to improve. You will then be able to look back on your weaknesses through the analytics and see the potential score sinking topics that you should put more time into. I would use this product again in a heartbeat.

I used TTP as preparation for my GMAT exam in the hopes of being able to supplement my undergraduate GPA with an extremely strong GMAT score. I had seen that TTP was widely recommended across various GMAT preparation websites, so I initially decided to give it a one week free trial. Based on the the content within, and in particular the guided solutions to the math portion of the exam, it was clear that among all the test prep sites I had dabbled in, this one was a step above. So when that week expired, I signed up for the one month subscription. I spent probably 10-15 hours a week for the next four weeks cranking through most of the Quant chapters, taking notes, and then moving on to practice exams. I exclusively used custom created exams, with only "Hard" rated questions. This was critical to my success on the actual GMAT exam. And again, in practice mode, you are able to see immediately the correct solution and thought process to any question you get wrong during the practice exam. While my verbal practice on TTP was limited to just about a week, it was also excellent. It was beneficial in understanding the type of thinking necessary to progress through CR and RC type questions. All in all, after just 5 weeks of using TTP, and no other prep beforehand, I was able to score a 760 on my first GMAT attempt. I can't recommend them enough. Put in the time and effort, and the content within will certainly help take you to the next level.

When I first started my preparations for GMAT, I used only the Official Guides as I thought that my subject knowledge was good enough to crack the exam. But boy, was I wrong !!

When I figured out that there's more than just subject knowledge needed to crack GMAT, I started looking for an online course that would help me in the same. That's when I took a trial session with E-GMAT.

The course is so comprehensive that I didn't find the need to look further. E-GMAT not only helps understand the concepts but also helps with the approach to get above 700.

The course has everything you could ask for, and more. I would strongly recommend E-GMAT to any person, be it a professional or a student, preparing for the GMAT.

If you are looking for easy, stress-free course and ready to spend 2 years for GMAT, this school is not your choice. If you are determined and need to get the score as soon as possible, it is.

I started my course with Harry after training GMAT with other school for 1 year. I hit 670 in half a year but was struggling to improve further as everyone was.

Harry gave me many homework, fundamental skills, motivation and my target score in 5 months.

GMAT training is never easy. There is no magic and you need to go through hard and time consuming training, doing a lot of problem sets. GMAT Ninja will give you the best and shortest endurance as long as you are ready to overcome.

It's not easy. It's really stressful. However, it's worth.

After my first GMAT attempt stood at a 690 score (it took a good amount of self-study and practice), I could not leave it to chance to get past the 700-mark since I had given it all. As for most non-native speakers, my first score reflected a lack of preparation for Verbal section with a V34. And so, researching on which verbal prep course to sign up for became the Level-0 for my second shot at GMAT. The reviews on GMAT club for the course providers seemed to be a credible source given the verified score improvements, and among those, e-GMAT stood out by a huge margin. My secondary research for e-GMAT on its free webinars and recorded videos gave me no less reason to go for it.

e-GMAT asks a simple thing of you when you sign up. Forget what you think you know. Doing so is not as simple as it sounds, but rewards you the more you believe in the course’s philosophy. The course is designed in such a way that it makes you effortlessly dive deep into basics and ensures that you haven’t lost the crux of the initially studied concepts till the very end, while comprehensively touching upon every testable area in the GMAT exam.

Beginning with its infamous SC course, e-GMAT brings in the Meaning Based Approach which, in my opinion is the life saver for many when attempting a lot of 600+ and 700+ level questions. This approach, combined with the relevant grammatical rules, makes up for a huge chunk of the course, proportionate to its importance in the Verbal preparation. For the CR sub-section, the course introduces to concepts usually overlooked by a lot of test-takers such as identification of premises and conclusion, grasping the author’s intent, and prethinking the assumptions before jumping to option analysis. Following the prescribed process reduced my average time spent on the CR questions by about 25%, which let me have more time to attempt the once dreadful RC questions. RC too became easier through e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension pointers at the beginning of the course, which became a habit by the time I reached RC sub-section.

To supplement it all, the newly introduced Scholaranium 2.0 which includes all of e-GMAT’s practice questions has a very high-quality database for explanations and data insights for each and every question in it. This same quality applies to the Sigma-X Mocks designed by e-GMAT, giving these tests their accuracy.

In addition to all of the preparation, the support provided by e-GMAT’s strategy experts in the Last Mile Program is something that brought me to a V41 and a 70 points improvement. Shweta Koshija, one of the experts at e-GMAT, was available throughout my course tenure and helped me through personalized videos and hyper-specific plans for any and all of my queries.

Considering all of it, signing up for e-GMAT should be a no-brainer for anyone aiming a competitive GMAT score.

My GMAT tutoring experience, like many others, has been a journey. I started with Veritas Prep, attracted by their low-costs - nearly half of the standard rate. Disappointed by the quality (not surprising right), I spent several hours of due diligence to locate the best GMAT tutor on web. I had wasted 2 weeks of my time essentially, and wanted to devote my energy and attention to the test, not on vetting my tutor. For context, I had self studied on and off for about 3 months, and was scoring around a 690 on practice exams. My goal was a 730.

When I stumbled across GMAT Ninja, I was intrigued by their site's content - Charles, the founder, was spewing GMAT wisdom like it he'd written a dissertation on it. While I was attracted by the content, I stayed ultimately for the reviews. Particularly, one reviewer shared her experience about how Mike helped improve her score from a 690 to a 730 in 3 weeks. For me, that was enough to pull the trigger, and specifically request Mike as my tutor.

On our first session, I immediately knew I had made the right decision. Mike was extremely friendly, open, and understanding to the strenuous and often frustrating process of studying for the GMAT. Like Charles, Mike had an incredible amount of wisdom to share regarding study habits, test dos and don'ts, best practices, etc. For one, don't touch fake verbal questions with a 10ft pole. After a few weeks together, it became abundantly clear that Mike wasn't just helping me master the content, he was helping me master the exam.

Without going too in the weeds and boring you with details, I'll say that Mike's approach to teaching made the process feel like less of a choir, and more like a challenge. He was very honest about where he felt my potential lay, and would constantly push me to strive for nothing less than my very best. In the end, I ended up surprising him and myself with a 770, greatly exceeding my goals and what I could even fathom as a possibility. I would 100% recommend Mike as a tutor. The journey won't be easy, but at least it's possible with the proper guide.

Content : The content for Verbal is extremely thorough. The concept files are probably the best you have ever seen from 2 aspects, first of course is the actual material, second aspect is the progression it follows.

Practice: the platform that E-Gmat uses to help you in practicing questions provides more than enough data for you individually analyze your weak sections and subsections.

Quant: The new quant 2.0 prep material is extremely targeted. The idea is that you can focus on areas that you need particular help with (if that's the approach you need to take due to time constraints)

Mocks: The mocks are slightly tougher than the actual test (quant is tougher, verbal is very representative). But the best part is you can get an ESR like analysis after each mock test you give you more than enough metrics to actually strategize to improve on your next mock.

My journey began with a baseline score of 650 on the official mock test. I analysed my results and began working towards improving the 'weaker' areas like most of us after the baseline. However, after about 2-3 months of self-prep (about 3-4 hours per day during the week and 6-7 hours over the weekend), I did not see any improvement in my scores for the second official mock. I decided to do something about it as (again, like the most of us) I wanted to secure a 700+ score for myself as soon as possible.

Having read positive reviews about e-GMAT and having heard a few personal experiences from acquaintances as well, I scheduled a quick strategy call with an e-GMAT expert to understand the best next steps and went ahead with the focused online course the very next day.
Due to my work commitments, I could only spare about 3-4 hours on a weekday and about 6-7 hours on a weekend, and that was sufficient to cover the complete course in about 15 days. This was also the estimate provided by the course in the initial set up which was pretty accurate. The support team was extremely professional, I checked in with them almost once in two days and received quick responses in terms of feedback and next steps. The master comprehension for verbal in general, meaning-based approach in SC, pre-thinking approach in RC and extremely well guided modules for Quant helped me immensely. The Scholaranium 2.0 dashboard and analytics helped me identify weak areas as I progressed - not just in terms of questions I got wrong but questions where I spent significantly more time than the median population. The explanations and solutions were super helpful and helped me save a lot of prep time as well.

I scored 690 on my first GMAT, but I knew I could've done better so I decided to re-take it in 16 days.
For these 16 days, I was provided support and guidance by Dhananjay Lowe, who customised my ability scores from my previous mock by adjusting the luck factor (since I was sure my e-GMAT mock score of 680 was skewed upwards), provided a 16 day customised plan, checked in with me and provided super honest and useful feedback. He also shared a personalised video feedback on a few critical areas where I faltered in a custom quiz (this was a test readiness quiz one day before my test) which guided me about topics I needed to revise before my test and about mindful of my time-wasting tendencies (which also reduced my takt time overall).

I ended up with a score of 700 on my second test (where my quant score improved from V41 to V48) and I'm extremely grateful for Dhananjay and team's honest feedback to help me keep pushing till the last very last day.

While I know the feedback is very lengthy, I hope it helps fellow students in taking the necessary steps to reduce their prep time and achieve their target score. Good luck! :)
