To provide some context, I gave my first attempt in Sep-20 and scored a 670 (Q47, V35). Post that I took some time off preparation and resumed studying in Feb-21. I enrolled for the GMAT Online product and felt that the video lessons of both Q & V sections are very thorough. Also, the application / practice quizzes ensure that the concepts and process are cemented.

SC - I've never been great with Verbal, especially the nuances associated with grammar. However, the meaning based approach was a game changer as it helped me find the right solution (or rather eliminate the wrong choices) with reasonable logic.

CR - Initially I was very apprehensive about the Pre-thinking approach and felt it was not for me. My CR sectional scores were not up to the mark for me to reach my target of V40. With practice, I inculcated the Pre-thinking approach and noticed a sea of change in my accuracy. I would strongly recommend this to anyone struggling with CR

RC - I was fairly comfortable with RC, however, on further analysis (thanks to Scholaranium - it was a breeze to identify weak areas) I noticed that I was faltering on Main Idea questions. I was able to quickly address this by revising the specific topic files and taking a custom quiz (a process that I learnt from the e-GMAT team)

Quant 2.0 - During the prep for my first attempt, I skipped some topics (P&C, Co-ordinate Geometry etc) as I couldn't grasp the concepts easily. However, the introduction of Quant 2.0 really changed my approach towards Quant section. I went through almost all the concept files and was really impressed the way it is structured. Kudos to the e-GMAT team for their efforts.

Scholaranium 2.0 is my go to tool for GMAT prep and would recommend this to anyone looking for help to identify weaknesses. This is a brilliant addition to the already solid course offering and helps one track their progress in seconds. The level of data insights is really impressive and also provides the flexibility to create custom quizzes to replicate a sectional mock without wasting a full mock exam.

I really liked the Sigma-X mocks compared to the Gmatprep official mock tests. I felt that the official mocks are slightly easier than the actual exam, especially the quant section. The ESR like explanation provided after the Sigma-X mocks is very helpful as it highlights timing issues, luck factor etc.

And finally, the support mechanism and the Last mile program - this is where e-GMAT stands out miles apart from anything else in the market. The preparation can be an anxious phase and having someone by your side providing invaluable inputs is next to none. Having worked with a private tutor in the past, I can say that Dhananjay (DJ) does a fabulous job of mentorship. I would like to thank him for addressing all of my countless queries, creating hyper specific study plans, providing detailed feedback after each mock test and lastly the constant support throughout the journey. I still remember, two weeks prior to my exam I had scored a 680 on a mock and was highly disappointed with it. I reached out to DJ asking if I should postpone my exam, but he calmed me down and helped me identify where I went wrong and shared a specific plan of action. I diligently followed his advice and was finally able to break the 700 score-barrier.

Thanks to the entire e-GMAT team (Rajat, Payal, DJ, Archit, Aditee - sorry if I missed out anyone) who were part of my journey.

I joined E-gmat with the pursuit of improving my verbal score. I reached out to DJ when I was unable to cross the 710 marks. He was not only extremely patient, responding to all my emails but also put together a structure that helped me improve.

Though, my overall GMAT score did not improve. I ended up getting a V-39 on my attempt that definitely highlights my improved comprehension.

I also really wish I had reached out sooner to DJ - he made my life structure by putting together a plan and walking me through each step. Furthermore, he even helped me squeeze in prep just before my exam (not a usual practice) for me but I just needed a confidence boost.

The course structure is very straightforward and breaks down through concepts in easy-to-understand videos and slides. The section modules are studied in a fun way and offer ideas and methods to solve the GMAT questions.

I enrolled for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course solely to improve my verbal score. I reached out to e-GMAT experts who responded to all my emails but also put together a structure that helped me improve.

Though my overall GMAT score did not improve more than 30 points, I ended up with a score of 39 in the Verbal section - most of its credit goes to the e-GMAT verbal course.

I really liked the SC modules focusing on meaning-based methodological approach which really helps in 700+ level questions. All the concept and practice quizzes in between modules really helped me to fine-polish the specific concepts.

Overall, really good course for folks who wish to improve their Verbal score.

I wanted a course that would adjust to my full-time work schedule and help me address critical and challenging areas. TTP helped me the most to improve my accuracy in data sufficiency and sentence correction questions.

Despite my quantitative background, I realized I needed to improve my score for data sufficiency sections. TTP's strategy notes and the consistent application of these strategy notes in their provided solutions were of immense help.

In the verbal section, I sailed through critical reasoning and reading comprehension, thanks to my extensive reading habit but struggled with sentence correction questions. TTP's Verbal Beta helped me in recognizing splits and quickly arriving at the solution.

Additionally, the TTP design provides a good understanding of how you are performing compared to your target score throughout the program. This helped me focus on critical areas of improvement. Scott and his team are very responsive and supportive throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this course!

I had a very one-dimensional view of the GMAT before talking to David Goldstein. Dave realized that I used to get into a hurried state while practicing for GMAT and he helped me discover this and other biases by making me more self-aware. Turns out that each of us holds a number of blind spots that need to be flushed before we would improve.
Besides the GMAT, the sessions with Dave made me improve as a person and focus on the fundamentals that would make me do well. Turns out it was just a good night's sleep and all turned out well!

E-Gmat Club course for both in Quant & Verbal is more than enough for somebody targeting a 700+ in the GMAT test. All you need to do is religiously follow the process talked in the course.

I mostly used the E-Gmat Verbal Course which very well defines the process which needs to be followed to solve a question. Following it, I was able to see tremendous improvement in the verbal section.

The other great thing about the course is Scolaranium. It really made me test-ready. It also allowed to target my weakness with the data insights that it provides and with its custom quizzes.

I really owe this 720 to the E-Gmat course.

I gave my first GMAT without much prep and received a score of 640. For my second attempt, I did some preparations using OG and the free OG Mocks, but still wound up getting a disappointing score of 670 which was well below my target range.

I decided to give GMAT again about a month later due to a fixed timeline, but was not sure how to approach the preparations as I needed to raise my score significantly in just a month. On researching online, I found a few reviews of TTP, and found their monthly flexible plan to be quite cheap as compared to other courses.

The quant course was well structured and helped me raise my score from 42-44 to 49. Even the verbal section was helpful as I managed to raise my score from 38-40 to 44.

The major issue I faced in quant was that despite getting most of the questions I attempted right, I was not able complete all the questions in the time given. In TTP, the practice tests were extremely helpful as were the shortcuts and tips provided, and I was able to reduce the time I required. In fact for the quant section on the actual exam I had some time left over.

TTP was extremely helpful, and I believe anyone who religiously follows their course would be easily able to achieve their target scores.

I came across GMAT Ninja after months of using online courses with no significant improvement to my score, and in my first session with Bransen I realized I made the right decision.

Overall, I found in Bransen a valuable mentor who not only mastered teaching me content but who also took the time to prepare me mentally for test day. During our sessions, he was determined to uncover my key weaknesses and often went into great detail to explain what led me to make mistakes, such error reviews were honestly a game-changer and made all the difference in improving my score!

I can't recommend GMAT Ninja enough for your GMAT prep, you will have honest and amazing people supporting you every step of the way!

I started preparing for GMAT last year to get admission to a part time MBA program. After researching a lot, I subscribed to two online GMAT courses, e-gmat was one of them. My first attempt yielded a score of 690 (Quant 50, Verbal 31). I was not satisfied with my verbal score and decided to give GMAT once again. I accepted the score because I wanted to see my ESR report and get feedback on it. I approached e-gmat team with my ESR report and asked them for help. Within a day, I received a personalized video explaining my ESR report and steps to follow in order to achieve higher verbal score. Dhananjay explained the ESR report in depth and also pointed out my weaknesses. Dhananjay came up with detailed 21 day plan and started assigning tasks to me. There were clear instructions about what needs to be done and how to track my progress. Throughout my preparation, Dhananjay kept on motivating me and gave valuable tips to keep me on track. I thank Dhananjay a lot for his expert support. Kudos to Dhananjay. I improved my verbal score in my third attempt 690 (Quant 50, Verbal 32), not by much, but I am sure that if I had followed the instructions from Dhananjay word by word, I would have had a better score.

In this journey, I would definitely talk about E-GMAT course, especially about Verbal section.

Verbal course starts with Master Comprehension (MC). MC explains the very basic thing “reading and comprehension” in a very structured manner and makes it easy for you to follow the rest of the course. Don’t skip this section, this is one of the most fundamental technique you need in GMAT. Sentence correction course stands out as it emphasizes on meaning based approach, which is very important in tackling harder questions.

Critical reasoning course provided by e-gmat is the most comprehensive material I came across during my studies. It makes it extremely easy to break down the argument into premises and conclusion and helps immensely to understand the line of reasoning used by author. Pre thinking is difficult step to conquer and needs a lot of practice. I think this is where I missed the trick in CR. I would strongly urge that you practice pre-thinking in every CR problem you solve to gain mastery at it. Pre-thinking is the most important step at solving CR questions.

I did not go through Quant course much and directly started solving the questions (one very god trick I learned was wavy line method :)).

Scholaranium is the e-gmat platform for practicing GMAT like questions. I must say that the platform is well developed, the question bank is very mature and the questions resemble the real GMAT questions, especially Quant questions. You can make you practice quizzes, concept quizzes and even mini tests. Every question you solve is thoroughly examined by the platform and you get immensely useful statistic out of your practice. The stats report is exhaustive in nature and touches many aspects, such as timing, accuracy, classification based on question type, etc.

Another astonishing thing in e-gmat is Sigma-X mocks. I took mocks offered by GMAT Prep and by third parties. While GMAT Prep mocks give a very good idea about actual exam, Sigma-X mocks provide detailed analysis of your performance on the test. These tests are as good as real GMAT and I would advice you to take them in one sitting to get the best analysis of your performance.

In summary, if you want to excel in GMAT, E-GMAT is the platform to go for. Extremely useful video explanations of theory and solutions along with scholaraniam and Sigma-X mock tests and your disciplined efforts will definitely help you achieve your dream score on GMAT.

After months of trying to ace the gmat through self study, I decided to attend a free webinar offered by e-GMAT. Post the webinar I decided to purchase the course and I only wish I had taken this step a bit sooner.

The entire course is structured so well that the need to refer to other sources doesn't arise at all. The course lays great emphasis on conceptual understanding and application, and this is exactly what is required. I saw great improvements in both RC and CR. The e-GMAT reading strategy helped me tremendously in understanding complex passages, and the meaning approach in SC and the pre-thinking strategy in CR made an even greater difference for me.

I would like to highlight one of the best features of this course - the Scholaranium. This huge question bank was my favourite. The interface allows one to tailor the quizzes as per ones requirements. It is a great tool to help strengthen the application of concepts. Another aspect I loved about the Scholaranium was the detailed solution provided for each question. These solutions helped me further my application skills.

The course includes 5 sigma X mocks. I found these mocks in line with the level of difficulty of the actual test. The scoring in the mocks is also quite accurate. One might feel that 5 mocks are too less, but honestly, they are more than enough, and using the option to create quizzes, one can definitely create full fledged sections.

Finally, I'm grateful to e-GMAT's Last Mile Program and my mentor Atreya Roy. Atreya really helped me identify my weak areas quickly and ensured that I focus just on them. He kept me motivated even on days when I wouldn't do well on my quizzes or mocks. Without him, I don't think I would've been able to improve my score in just one month. A big shoutout to him!
