Well, undoubtedly the best course for the Verbal section in GMAT. The concept videos are exceptionally good, give a very clear foundation regarding the concepts, and the concept quizzes in between the videos are very very helpful. Especially for Sentence Correction, e-GMAT is GOD. Before taking e-GMAT, I used to solve SC questions by intuitive guessing and by thinking which option sounds more suitable. I didn't had a thorough understanding of the grammar and SC rules. But then I took the e-GMAT course, and when I started to watch SC concept videos, I got the recipe to solve GMAT SC questions. First of all, I learned lots of grammar rules. Then I learned the technique and strategy to solve SC questions. And then, I never ever used intuitive guessing to solve SC questions, I just used e-GMAT's strategy and methods to solve, and boom, my score in SC soared.
Even for the RC section, I used to waste lots of time reading the passage and solving the questions and so, in every mock, I used to solve one RC question by just guessing. But after doing e-GMAT's RC course, I spent less time solving RC questions, and so, in the actual GMAT exam, I solved all questions in verbal without guessing anything. Completing all questions is important, just guessing some questions or not being able to complete all questions on time leaves a huge penalty on the score!!

E-gmat Verbal platform was exactly what I was looking for to drastically improve my score within 3 weeks. The Application Files methodically take you through each and every aspect of a question and not just focus on the final answer. It trains you to understand meaning through meaning quizzes, pre-thinking (not just in CR but all 3 sections) through pre thinking quizzes and finally tying up everything to arrive at final answer. It takes out the instinct factor which is crucial for 40+ scores in verbal. It trains you to treat verbal very objectively and brings an analytical approach. Highly recommended and worth the investment. Scholaranium and Sigma-X mocks are amazing resources for test simulation

I had always considered getting a business degree right after my undergraduate studies, but life happens. I found a deep interest in engineering and physics. I continued my graduate degree in engineering and worked for almost a decade before the idea of going back to B-school surfaced again. With decent work experience under my belt, I start looking for executive MBA programs in the USA. A common thread connecting all good programs was a high GMAT - north of 690 for almost all highly ranked programs.

I started preparing on my own, gave several Mock Tests, both official and unofficial, and came close to the target score of 700 in mock tests after a month-long self-driven preparation. I took my test in 2019, and it turned out no so sweet. Landing with a 630, my hopes of applying in the 2019 cycle fuzzled out.
Like for the rest of humanity, 2020-21 was not easy either, but I convinced myself to take another shot, and I enrolled myself in the e-GMAT online coursework and took the test in July'21. This time the score was 700 - decent to support a competitive application.

One might ask why I picked e-GMAT out of so many other branded products? The answer - authentic reviews with great success stories. The authentic reviews increased my confidence in the course, and the success stories motivated me to retake the test and score well. There are brilliant parts to this online program that anyone could leverage despite their schedules and preparation timelines.

Like other non-native speakers, my weakest link was Verbal, and that is where I pressed hard during my preparation. e-GMAT's verbal suite is beyond excellent. It starts with mastering basic concepts and then further builds on that foundation. The accompanying Scholaranium platform gives a very detailed assessment of your learning on any topic.
I benefited a lot in the VA (all three sub-sections) from Scholaranium tests.

Having a deep quant background, I always believed QA to be my strength but, the little nudges in the trick questions - you can only get exposed to them if you have access to quality test resources and e-GMAT has a rich collection of such problems. And that is how I increased my QA score by two points in my re-test.

Another brilliant aspect was the detailed feedback that I got on the mock tests helping me to identify the weak links and work on them. The summaries are very graphic and give a good picture of where you stand in terms of your preparation. The forum is very active if you ever have conceptual questions.

If you are willing to invest in yourself, find a training partner who is not only willing to walk that extra mile with you but also willing to push you towards success. And e-GMAT is that partner.

Premise: I used Magoosh 2 months before my first attempt on May 31 and was very disappointed in my results. I was focusing on building up my knowledge base but after the first attempt, I realized that I was lacking insight on how to practically apply my knowledge. I was looking for a personalized solution to target my weak areas and had at that point also tried e-GMAT. I found the whole pre-thinking approach confusing so I choose TTP because of all the amazing reviews. I had 1.5 months before my next and final exam attempt (due to the application deadlines).

Course: I primarily focused on Quant and just did 2 easy, 2 med, 2 hard quizzes for each topic, reviewing content for the problems I got wrong and making sure I am able to solve them quickly and correctly. I did not get through all the quant topics but covered all foundations and all the topics that show up most often. I also reviewed the high-level Most Important Concepts document TTP provides and took notes throughout the course to review a few days before the exam.

For Verbal, I took about a week to review my weak areas in each subject of CR and SC. So thankful that TTP does not use the pre-thinking method because honestly, it made me perform worse. I found the TTP Verbal explanations to be very clear and comprehensive, and I definitely felt more comfortable going into the exam.

Results: Just in that 1.5 months (142 study hours) I was able to boost my Quant score by 7 points and my Verbal score by 2 points. I wish wish wish I had more time because I know that additional practice with TTP, especially with the verbal course would take my score even higher, but honestly I am so relieved to have achieved a 710 in the short time frame I had. Couldn't have done it without TTP!

The E-GMAT Course came as a blessing in disguise when I was struggling for some direction after a dismal 610. I decided to sign up for the course after multiple recommendations and extensive personal research. If used right, this course might just be your key to a 700+ score.

Verbal: The verbal course is par excellence, to say the least. The course has been designed in a manner that slowly takes you through the learning process and ensures that you not only get familiarised with the type of questions the exam tests you on but also learn and internalize the skills. As a result, I can say with confidence that I will carry the skills with me and will, hopefully, build on them.

Quantitative: Quant has since time immemorial been my Achille's heel. Quant 2.0 was potentially the best thing that could have happened to me for my exam prep. The painstakingly designed details go a long way in ensuring that you get your basics right and steadily move onto the tougher portions. I managed to secure a Q47 (trust me, even this means a lot to me) largely because of this course.

Finally, the LMP Program adds that extra finish to your prep efforts. After having scored a 690 on my second attempt, I sought the assistance of the strategy team to help me identify my development areas and work on them. I was then put in touch with Dhananjay who used to give me regular feedback after mocks, feedbacks that were very insightful and accurate. Additionally, he would also provide me with feedback about my quiz performances and how I need to utilize the Scholaranium to maximize the impact of my practice sessions. With periodic feedback, tangible goals and constant guidance, I was able to break the 700 barrier.

To sum it up, if you're struggling with finding the right resource for your preparations, I would strongly suggest that you consider E-GMAT and give it an honest try!

I had a very toxic relationship with Quant or maths per say. Since school, I was very weak in maths and never got the hang of it. The day came when I realized that I had to give the GMAT and had to do well in quant. I didn't know about TTP but used another 'famous' course. I took a baseline and got a 510 ( Q33 V27). After 3 months of doing that course I got a 590 (Q37 V34). I realized that I needed to put a lot of effort in Quant. One day, while scrolling through Reddit, I came across r/GMAT and a program called TTP had rave reviews. I went to their website and realized that they were quite unique in terms of selling the course. They insisted on us taking the 1$ trial and then only thinking to buy it. I did so and found the modules very very simple to understand. The easy, medium and hard tests prepare you well for what's to come. I also tried their verbal which was in pre-launch ( That's all you need for Verbal). They started from the basics and went higher up. I scheduled a call with Scott and he made me connect with my country's representative. He patiently listened to my weaknesses and analyzed stuff and got back to me with a plan and a method to achieve a great score in a month ( I had a couple of months only). I told him that I needed to score a 650 but he insisted that I can easily score a 700+ and a 48-49 in quant ( I laughed tho). I rigorously followed the plan for a month and they gave me a few days extension to finish the course which I did. I gave the official practice tests and started scoring in the 700+ range and quant in the range of 47-49. I was really impressed with myself and TTP. Then Covid struck my family and I could not strike when the iron was hot. Immediately after all of them recovered, I gave my GMAT online ( which was a disaster - 620 (Q47 V29)). I Immediately scheduled a call with them and they formulated another plan. I did the entire verbal course again and for the quant did their custom tests and read the modules in which I was making mistakes. I gave an official mock and scored a 730 ( Q49 V41). I knew I was prepared and gave the in-person exam and scored a 710 ( Q49 V 37).
From mid 30s in quant to a Q49- the entire credit goes to this amazing course.

I started my GMAT journey with the e-GMAT's GMAT online course back in December 2020 after some research on the GMAT club about the different available tutoring options. I am glad to have made the right choice as the e-GMAT provides an extremely well-tailored prep program where smart analytics and experienced strategy experts guide you towards identifying your weak areas, resolving the weaknesses in an appropriate manner, and scheduling your prep in a manner that you can manage it as I did with a full-time job.

When I started my GMAT journey, I had taken a diagnostic test from the Sigma Mocks available in the e-GMAT course and scored a 630 (Q49V27), hence I was aware that Quant was my strong foot coming from an engineering background therefore I used the E-GMAT course only for the Verbal prep.
E-GMAT provides a comprehensive and very well-rounded verbal course. The meaning-based approach for SC is the best suited to solve hard questions on the GMAT where you can't just get away by looking at splits. Not only the approach but also the basic concepts are very well covered in the course. For CR, the concepts were covered really well to develop an understanding of the argument structure in terms of identifying the premise and conclusions and identifying the author's perspective. Here the prethinking of the assumption/strengthener/weakener is a game-changer in getting your accuracy right up there, and, also with sufficient practice, helps you reduce your average time on a CR question considerably. For RC, the strategies on how to approach the RC passages, how to break up the passages and summarizing in between for a comprehensive understanding, and realizing the author's perspective through your summaries from the passage really helps tackle some of the difficult RC passages irrespective of the topics.

Talking about the sigma mocks from e-GMAT, I found the mocks to be one of the closest to the actual GMAT exam as I got the exact same scores in my final 2 sigma mocks and my actual GMAT on the first attempt. Also, the ESR-like analysis reports available at the end of the mocks really help you improve your approach for the sections with respect to timings, and identify accuracy in the different difficulty level questions for the different sections to shed light on the weaknesses. Also, with the introduction of Scholaranium 2.0, e-GMAT has taken their analytics game to a different level providing brilliant insights and accurate representations of the current ability levels in the different sections of verbal and quant.

But out of all the features of the e-GMAT course, the one that suited me the most was the constant support provided to me by Dhananjaya from e-GMAT who helped me create an elaborated study plan and fix my issues with my verbal approach, especially with my weaknesses in RCs. His incredible analysis from the sigma mocks, official prep tests as well as the ESR from my first attempt, in the form of personalized videos, helped me identify my timing issues and fix them significantly. Even when I was not able to give the best of my ability at the GMAT and fall short of my target score, Dhananjaya and others from e-GMAT were constant support on my journey forward and helped me get back to intensive preparation.

My journey has not ended yet with the GMAT, looking forward to what should be my final attempt(hopefully) to crack my target score and I trust the support from e-GMAT to achieve that.

To summarize, I would say that the e-GMAT course is without a doubt, one of the best overall packages for the GMAT prep, and I highly recommend it.

I started preparing for GMAT in June 2020. I started studying from the OG. After few months, I realized that OG was necessary but not sufficient. I started looking for an appropriate course and came across EGMAT. Since, I needed the most attention in Verbal , I decided to join the EGMAT Verbal course.

SC: I found this section to be the best. The meaning based approach and the 3 step strategy to answer the question was just the kind of approach i was looking for.

CR: The emphasis on the pre-thinking approach was the highlight of this section. This approach made me realize the importance of taking a moment to think about the probable answers first and then proceeding with the answer choices.

RC: I found this section to be the most basic yet the most effective. The emphasis on taking a couple of seconds extra to "Comprehend" is the forte of this section. I was surprised to see my accuracy shoot up by just applying the strategies covered in this section.

Scholaranium: This is the forte of EGMAT. It is surely one of the most well structured interface to practice and assess the GMAT like questions. Kudos to the EGMAT team for designing this unique platform. It is surely a game changer.

To all those who are looking for a structured way to prepare for GMAT , I would highly recommend EGMAT to you all.

Background

In 2020 I planned to take the GMAT and started the self-preparation using various free material. I scored a subpar 660 (Q49, V30). This score was not going to get me into any decent school for a Full Time MBA. In May 2021, I gathered the strength and decided to prepare for GMAT once again. I had heard from friends that e-gmat was a one stop shop for all my preparations for the GMAT. Right from video lessons to Scholaranium2.0 to sigma-x mocks, e-gmat offered a complete package.

The Study

To make life easier, I was offered a pilot program at e-gmat - “Last Mile Touch”, which is essentially a one on one mentoring program to ace the GMAT. I got in touch with Archit and my journey resumed. Archit assessed my performance in the first sigma-x test and my ESR from 2020 and immediately came up with a 4 week plan for Verbal, the section where I needed most help.

CR was a strong sub-section and Archit without changing my approach much, asked me to just revise and practice questions on Scholaranium2.0. In the RC section, I had a weakness for passages on Humanities. Archit shared various sources where I could find GMAT level passages and asked me to start reading at least 2 passages every day. This helped me comprehend such passages much easily and hence the propensity to get its subsequent questions correct.

SC was a nightmare for me and this is where Archit’s contribution was the most impactful. The 18 day plan to restructure from a random approach to a meaning based approach based on the e-gmat video lessons helped me improve my skill in the SC section. But my timing was still way off and took me 120-150 seconds to solve medium level questions. The next plan was to improve the timing by taking sub-sectional quizzes from Scholaranium2.0 - initially with extended time and slowly and gradually towards the 90 seconds mark, which is the standard for GMAT SC questions. Within a week, I had a decent accuracy and timing at the same time.

Test Readiness

The next step was to improve test readiness and the ability to switch quickly within there 3 sub sections. Archit helped me simulate the exact Verbal section from Scholaranium2.0 and helped me improve my accuracy from 64% to 86% within 2 weeks. Now, I was ready for the mock tests and I took a week off from work. I attempted a mock everyday in these 7 days at the exact time of my exam. I also had a good mix between the sigma-x mocks and the official practice tests.

On the exam day, I followed the exact same schedule and was super happy to see a 740 score pop up on the screen.

Last, I’d strongly recommend e-gmat and Archit to anyone trying to improve his/her score. E-gmat has all the resources to fill the conceptual gaps and an exhaustive list of more than 700 medium and hard level questions in the Scholaranium2.0 forum for anyone to practice from. All these questions also have a solid explanation to solve these questions. Archit is an expert and has helped many people achieve their target GMAT scores. He knows the test in and out and will quickly identify areas of improvement, improvising the study accordingly. A massive thank you to e-gmat and Archit.

I am a non-native speaker and was stuck as late V20's till I came across TTP Verbal course. I spent a countless number of with GMAT online prep courses from one of the leading company but despite putting in the effort, my score never improved especially in SC. I was kind of losing confidence which is when I came across TTP Verbal course. The best thing to happen for me was them offering whole course on free trial. Due to free trial I could know the quality of material and was able to immediately decide that I want to go ahead and purchase the plan and prep for my SC again from start. I was able to complete my SC prep in one month and was confident on my SC skills by the end of it. Scored V38 on the day with 88% in SC. My RC percentile was 28 on the day which costed me a lot. Eagerly waiting for TTP RC course too.
