When i enrolled with TTP, I was struggling a lot with Verbal and Quant concepts. My understanding on the concepts was weak and that was not allowing my score to increase. TTP's topic wise course structure helped me grasp each concept easily while also providing easy methods to save time. The question based learning method worked well for me in solidifying my concepts before moving to the next. I would whole heartedly recommend it to everyone starting their journey on GMAT. My score improved by 70 points through the course. TTP also provides cheatsheet around idioms and mathematical formulas which you would need to constantly keep going through to save time in exams.

I came across e-GMAT when I saw a success story video of a student, who had improved his score by over 80 points. Since then I have watched close to 50 such success stories and seeing those stories I knew that e-GMAT will help me succeed as well. My journey with e-GMAT was about 4 months long and it ended with me scoring a 770(Q50, V45) on GMAT online.

What I loved most about the course?
Structured Approach for each module:
Unlike other courses, e-GMAT gives you a structured method that needs to be followed for solving each SC, CR and RC question. For both SC and CR there is a 3-step approach that needs to be followed. Initially it takes students extra time to solve questions using these approaches but with regular practice, the approaches become second nature to the student, aiding the student on exam day in a situation of high anxiety and pressure.

Depth and Breadth of SC Course:
I always struggled with SC but with e-GMAT's SC course almost anyone can score in the 90th percentile. Obviously the Meaning based approach is a game changer, but I would like to bring attention to the 200+ SC concepts that are covered in the e-GMAT course. Once the meaning is understood it is absolutely crucial to know the pertinent grammar rule clearly and the e-GMAT course covers every such rule. Many courses only focus on the common error types and hence students of such courses fail to understand usage of different sentence structures.

e-GMAT support:
One thing every student from e-GMAT will highlight is the personalization at every step of the preparation. I was given a personalized study plan basis my performance on the diagnostic Sigma-X mock. Whenever I had doubts during my preparation my mentor Archit Bhargava was there to help. I would just send in an email and I would get a response within a few hours. Without this constant support, I am sure to have spiraled off my preparation.

Scholaranium 2.0:
The most impressive thing about Scholaranium 2.0 is the explanation for each question. The explanations are in written in line with the structured approach thought at e-GMAT. The explanations are absolutely crucial because only when a student knows why exactly he/she got the question wrong can he/she learn and make sure not to repeat the mistake. The explanations also make it very easy for students to create accurate error logs.

Sigma-X Mock Accuracy:
High quality mocks are very essential to any student's preparation. In the past I relied on the official mocks from mba.com but even those mocks seemed to be of lesser difficulty in comparison with the actual exam. The Sigma-X mocks simulate the real exam experience and gauge a student's ability accurately. Also, the data driven results from Sigma-X mocks help students to focus on the areas required and fine tune their approach.

Personalized Analysis and Support:
I was invited by Archit to join the Last Mile Program(LMP), a program in which Archit would constantly monitor my progress and suggest further steps. I am sure that without Archit's support I would not have achieved my score and I cannot thank him enough. Timing was a huge issue for me and Archit made me see how I could better manage my time. He analyzed my performances on the Sigma-X mocks in the form of videos and suggested hyper-specific practices to improve timing. His personalized videos helped me improve my timing issues easily.

Overall, I would highly recommend e-GMAT for anyone appearing for the GMAT. The all inclusive course, the data and the mentorship provided make e-GMAT the best available GMAT preparation company out there.

I’d just given an official attempt scoring myself a 700. Given I was touching upwards of 750 in my mocks but was not able to translate the same in my official attempt – I felt quite disappointed. I approach Atreya from e-GMAT for last mile support in GMAT. Him and the e-GMAT offered me unparallelly set of questions and high-quality topic wise study material that helped me improve 30 points in a month.

e-GMAT’s self-leaning modules are quite comprehensive and offer in depth understanding of concepts by offering examples with detailed solutions. The cementing quizzes helped me identify my baseline performance in respective sections and Atreya was kind enough to help me build an error log and to device a customized strategy plan to improve on my weaker topics.

Apart from practicing from their high-quality question bank, Scholaranium 2.0, the meaning based approach preached by e-GMAT helped me refine my approach towards solving, improving accuracy as well as speed.

Their Sigma-X Mocks offered under their comprehensive package were also quite accurate in their capacity and offer sectional performance insights, like what ESRs offer. Something quite helpful in planning out strategy for the D-day.

The support, as well as motivation, offered by Atreya and team was quite helpful in helping me improve. I would like to recommend e-GMAT to fellow test-takers.

I was struggling with GMAT verbal section when I started preparing for the GMAT. I began with V30 in mock tests. To improve my score, I studied hard and practiced random assorted verbal questions. I took two actual attempts and even after studying this hard, my best was V32.

Quite naturally I was distraught. I wasn't able to understand what was going wrong, I wasn't able to differentiate efficiently between two or three tough choices. Two of my friends separately then recommended E GMAT to me. I decided to give their Verbal course a try.

First things first, they changed my approach towards the test itself. It helped me immensely in formulating my study plan and testing strategy. Proceeding ahead, I started with absolute basics in verbal. Once I got the fundamentals clear, I learned the meaning-based strategy and that helped me eliminate the wrong answer choices based on more subtle meaning differences. Those lessons and the practice quizzes proved really valuable.

Once I got the hang of all the concepts, I practiced questions in Scholaranium of all difficulty levels. Overall I found it very challenging, but the more you bleed in preparation, the less you bleed in battle. I improved my timing in Scholaranium by roughly 10 seconds per question, which had a huge impact on my ability to finish all the questions in time in the actual test.

Overall I would highly recommend the Verbal course of E GMAT very highly, especially for non-native English speakers. All the best with your preparations.

I have been struggling to break the ceiling of 710 scores for 3 months before I encountered e-GMAT. The methodology-based learning that e-GMAT is built upon is just life-changing. I was able to absorb the methods and concepts very efficiently and hit my goal mark in less than 2 weeks! Methods such as meaning-based approach, pre-thinking in CR, and slow reading strategies in RC are all super helpful in changing my bad test-taking habits and stabilize my performance to reach the top percentiles.

The Scholaranium 2.0 is an amazing invention too. It truly helped me to pinpoint my weak areas across verbal sections and ensured I trained my muscles efficiently and targeted the areas that needed the most focus. Scholaranium 2.0 was the key reason that I was able to improve notably in such a short period of time.

Last but not the least, I was greatly benefited from the personal training program with Atreya Roy. He created a customized study plan for me, helped me improve on the targeted area with dedicated materials, and supported me academically and mentally on the preparations for the test day. I truly him and the support from the e-GMAT team.

Target Test Prep was everything I needed and more to break the 700 barrier and score a 720! I was stuck in the 600s, constantly making silly errors and missing some harder questions. The guidance and reps provided by TTP made the difference in getting my score where it needed to be. The quant prep is unparalleled, and the new verbal section was very valuable, as well. I was pleasantly suprised by the amount of detail in each lession. The chapter tests kept me on track, and the extensive test bank provided me with an abundance of resources. Absolutely worth the buy!

I had initially prepared only from the official guide and a few advanced GMAT Club questions, but my GMAT Prep score hadn't budged a lot from the 740 GMAT Prep score that I had got in my first attempt without any preparation. I then realized that I needed something that would point out specific areas of improvement and help me work on them. I then signed up for the eGMAT last mile program course, and here are the several ways the course helped me:

1. A key struggling point for me was SC. I simply did not know the rules because I hadn't studied any sort of theory in depth. The self learning modules of eGMAT solved this by giving crisp rules of SC, and as a result I started achieving 80-90% accuracy in every test thereon. 10/10 would recommend if you are struggling with SC.

2. The second area that I was struggling with was time in Verbal. This was mainly being driven by an average time of around 140 seconds in CR questions, although with decent accuracy. The eGMAT experts helped a lot here by going a step beyond and taking out time to address my issues specifically. It turned out that there was a flaw in my approach towards CR questions, making my method very inefficient. Next, I could cement the correct approach through the practice questions.

Specifically it was Harsha (Verbal Expert), and Aditee (Mentor) who guided me through CR, enabling me to cut down at least
15-20 seconds on my time.

3. The Sigma-X mocks were of a huge help as I could accurately see where I stood in terms of my performance. The level kind of matched the actual GMAT questions. My last score on the third mock was 760, which was very close to my actual score of 770.

4. The explanations of most practice questions (~80%) was on point, but even if it wasn't, you could get your doubts answered. Although, areas of improvement for eGMAT here could be their TAT (which sometime stretched to over 3-4 days) and the quality of replies of a few of their experts.

5. The most important thing by far was the detailed analytics that eGMAT gives out for your performance on all questions. This was of a huge help since I could see where exactly I was struggling, and what was the low hanging fruit for me to improve. This is something that is extremely important for people who want to push their score that extra bit.

TLDR: I was pretty happy overall with the eGMAT Course. Within a month it helped me identify weaknesses and work on them, and gave me that much needed improvement of 30 points.

Target Test Prep is incredibly detailed and thorough. It takes a lot of time to get through every module and take all of the practice quizzes, but the invested time is well worth it. Overall, the program is probably overkill, but this is important because once you are in the test environment, you need your responses to be second nature, which this course definitely helps you achieve. I would for sure recommend pairing this with the official practice tests, and you are pretty much guaranteed to get a good score if you complete the course and all the practice tests.

My very first GMAT practice test without any preparation was around a 580. I hadn't done any quant or verbal for 6 years! I then proceeded to study by myself using only the official MBA practice questions and after two months I eventually received a 690 on a practice, but I couldn't break 700. I knew I could do better, but I didn't have any direction. I was just doing mindless practice problems. My studies trailed off and ended after that. A couple months later I decided to try again, but with some help. After reading several reviews, looking through forums, and trying some free trials, I chose Target Test Prep (with the Verbal Beta). TTP is an excellent program to follow, and it's probably the best Quant program available. It will teach you everything you need to know from the ground up. You can easily gauge your understanding with the several chapter quizzes. I recommend getting 90%+ on all Medium difficulty quizzes before proceeding to the Hard quizzes or even the next chapter (If you want a 700+ score). Throughout the way, you can chat with their coaches. Marty, who scored an 800, is a master of the GMAT and an awesome coach. His understanding and in-depth responses helped me far more than any forums. Ultimately, I took the official test three times: 710, which I ended up canceling because I knew I could do better (I was getting 760's on Official GMAT practices), 730, and 740. I know I can do even better (I only did half the Verbal beta lessons, and on my 740 attempt, my Quant score dipped to a 47 because I was so focused on Verbal that I didn't review my Quant on TTP!!). However, I believe I have a high enough score to apply to the mba programs that I want. Overall, I absolutely recommend TTP and Marty. For Verbal I followed a mix of TTP Verbal Beta, which was incomplete at the time, and gmatclub's own GMAT Ninja. For Quant I solely used TTP.

I took the GMAT official test in June and scored a 430 (Q42 V 10). Post which, I signed up on TTP. TTP really helps you nail down the concepts. I found it incredibly useful for Quants and SC. Quant especially is really detailed and covers nearly everything necessary to get a high score. What I loved about the SC module was that the explanation of wrong answers was really detailed. Going through their set of questions and the explanations will make sure you know the 1000's ways a sentence can go wrong. I retook the GMAT last week and scored a 660 (Q47 V34), and a lot of the success is attributed to TTP. I like the kindle like notes making feature and the error log. The revision was easy peasy thanks to those features.
