Target test prep was key for my GMAT score. I have used other platforms before, but none of them provided me with top content on a great platform. This was extremely important for me to have a good view of my performance over time and decide where to focus my efforts to increase performance in my weak areas.

I used it for two months for both quant and verbal. It was important to have a clear view of how I was doing, something I did not have in other platforms, in order to prioritize my time and decide what to study next. I believe we all have busy work schedules and it is difficult to find time to study at this point in our careers, but what I found out is that having a platform that helps you prioritizing what to study is extremely important to succeed.

I had prepared for Indian entrance exams but it was very unsuccessful. I was confident in VA but my quant was really dicey. I came across eGMAT through Youtube. I saw many debriefs and I tried their free trial. It looked extensive but great. I took their free mock and it went really bad. Considering I gave it just after an offcial mock where I scored 660, i was skeptical. But I knew, I needed help with SC and Quant. I spoke to a counsellor and went ahead with it. I do not have any regrets. It's a great course and I was able to score a 670 within 1.5 months of 8-10 hours of prep per week.

After reading all of the glowing reviews online (Reddit especially) I really expected to be blown away by TTP. It was pretty good and definitely comprehensive, but there were a fair number of drawbacks to be considered. I consider it a useful tool to supplement your prepwork - if you're only using TTP and no OG materials you will have a bad time in trying to achieve a top-tier quant score imo (see my score for reference lol, still trying for it).

The quant materials are undeniably thorough; if you're a total beginner to quant this course will help you master the foundations. They drill the most basic concepts into you over and over. But the TTP quant questions are incredibly straightforward, even at the hardest difficulty levels, and they won't teach you the common "tricks" that browsing 600-700 level OG questions on here would. It won't teach you any novel test-taking strategies either.

I would recommend TTP if only to use as a foundation for drilling OG questions either here or through Wiley's site. I don't regret the money I spent on it but I'm also a bit confused by all of the rave reviews, as if the course has no flaws.

E gmat is a very good online platform for sentence correction in GMAT. It gave me great confidence and saved a lot of time for other sections in the test. The meaning based approach was extremely important for me to achieve the 760 I got in the test. Sentence correction was my weakest section-But the structured approach by e-gmat gave me confidence to master SC through application of the approach and through constant practice using GMAT club. I could not find much use of CR and RC from e-gmat mainly because I was not a good reader. So I had to strive a lot on improving my reading skills outside of the course. Nevertheless, the time I could save on SC by completing questions within 75 secs to 90 secs, helped me achieve a better score on RC & CR

Background:

I am a non-native speaker from India with an Engineering background. I was always confident about my Quant ability but was sceptical about Verbal ability. After taking an Initial Mock, my hunch was confirmed in which I scored a 640 ( Q48 and V26). Even though I scored less in verbal in my Initial mock, the thing which boosted my confidence that I can score well in Verbal was that Verbal in GMAT is more logical play than a theoretical play. Having given GRE before, the one thing I didn't like in GRE prep was the requirement to remember a lot of information which can lead to exhaustion very easily.

Course Shortlist:

Knowing I had to mostly concentrate on my Verbal ability, I was searching for the best Verbal course for non-native speakers ( I was looking from utter basics to advanced level). I came across the E-GMAT course while I was researching for courses. I took the trial to see the user experience of the course to decide if it is fit for my likings and I immediately liked and enrolled on the course.

Preparation:

I started with my Verbal prep carefully going through all the videos, tests and practise questions in the course. After done with Verbal course completion I skimmed through the Quant course to brush up on my Quant knowledge. After I was done with all the concepts, I started with scholarium for practising the concepts. Initially, the score was low in all three sections in Verbal, but with scholarium analytics, I slowly improved on my weak areas.

Mentorship:

E-GMAT mentorship played a crucial point in my journey by giving structure to my preparation. Archit has been super helpful in devising an improvement in each of the three sections in Verbal. I would strongly advise getting mentorship as it will be helpful to have a mentor to guide you in the right direction based on their experience.

Result: Scored 730 on The Day with V38 and Q50. Scored 95% in CR, 90% in SC and 28% in RC. My average RC percentile has been around V40 but scored only V22 on exam day. Clearly, there is scope for improvement in RC, so will be giving the exam again.

Things that helped immensely:

Pre thinking approach for CR was a game-changer. I improved my accuracy from the mid-'60s to above 90's with the approach. I scored above 90% in all the mocks and also in the final exam with the help of the approach.

Sentence Correction takes time and there is nothing to worry about your ability. Your ability will increase with practice and you will notice an increase in accuracy and speed with more practice. Attention to detail in sentences is very important to spot errors. I cannot stress this point more as we usually tend to skim through the sentence. The meaning-based approach also helps in improving speed and accuracy.

Jotting down points and summarising each paragraph helps to remember more information from paragraphs. A comprehensive reading course by E-GMAT helped me realize the need for easily understanding each statement.

eGMAT verbal course has helped me in improving my grammar a lot. I was able to improve my score by +70. You will understand the contribution of eGMAT in my GMAT prep journey if I give you more context on where I started : when I started the journey I wasn't even aware of Subject - verb agreement rules or correct usage of verbs in a sentence. This course helped me learn the basics and build confidence I need to score my target score. I haven't achieved my target score so I am planning to retake the exam soon. Scholaranium 2.0 is one more product which I will highly recommend. It will help you in identifying your weakness. Unfortunately, I didn't spend enough time on this product. I could see progress I made in CR which reflected in actual exam too. Scholaranium 2.0 helped me in identifying my weakness in some of the SC topics too but I didn't have enough time to improve those. I will recommend you to go through all the concept videos and Scholaranium 2.0 questions to achieve your target score.

I had pre-conceived thoughts about an online tutoring program and it's efficiency, and was initially skeptical about choosing the e-gmat online course. But, I was proved wrong! The course is curated in a very structured manner. The personalized study plan actually works! It helped me pace myself efficiently. Best part of e-gmat course was the SC component. It helped me secure a 98th percentile on the particular section. The meaning based approach yielded dividends on the exam. CR and RC materials are on point as well. The Scholaranium made a huge difference. Cementing, Custom and Ability quizzes really prepped me up for the exam. Overall, the course was amazing.

I was approached by the e-gmat team for the Last Mile Program and Atreya Roy ( big kudos to him) turned out to be my mentor. The best parts of the LMP are the guidance and review sessions. Atreya spent a good chunk of time curating the right personalized strategies for me to implement. He was always reachable (even for the silliest of the doubts). The plan was easy to grasp and follow. The constant monitoring and the push from the mentor's end definitely helped me ease through the last mile of my preparation. Big thanks to Atreya and his team for guiding me through my prep journey. I would definitely recommend e-gmat course for any gmat aspirant.

I was already enrolled with another GMAT prep course when I came across the free webinars organised by E-GMAT. I attended a few of those and realised that their strategy and tips were fundamentally better than my previous coaching and so decided to go ahead with the E-GMAT course. It turned out to be really helpful, with all its specifically categorized modules, quizzes and concept skills. I was able to recognise my weak areas through the multiple sets of quizzes and their detailed analysis, and work on them specifically. The course is amazingly insightful when it comes to analysing your mistakes and reviewing them.

The verbal modules - SC, CR, RC, have very detailed concept files which gives you a clear understanding of each. For me the major strategy that helped was Prethinking. The concept and its constant practice made me improve my verbal score evidently. Additionally, the modules on how to go about the different sets of RC questions helped me follow different strategies for each and answer the questions with a logical approach.

The Quant section helped me with the detailed analysis of my weak areas so that I could just improve the specific concept gaps and keep practicing the overall quizzes consistently. The huge number and the large variety of questions kept me on my toes throughout.

My mentor, Atreya, had been really helpful as he devised such specific study plans for my prep. He was consistent with me and extremely supportive throughout. He helped me analyse the various aspects of my performance, which I was unable to focus on initially. The last mile in my prep, the Sigma mocks, were incredible in terms of their level of questions, their appropriateness and of course, the detailed analysis available to review my attempt.

To sum up, I am extremely satisfied with my decision of choosing E-GMAT for my preparation and highly recommend it to anyone starting their preparation as well! All the best!

I started preparing for my GMAT in early July 2020 and gave my first attempt at October 13th 2020. I had prepared well, I was scoring 710-720 in official mocks and I was hoping to convert the same in my real test, but I got shocked when I ended up with a 660. Now, I have always had a fear of tests, I tend to do well in prep, mocks and solve questions with high accuracy during my practice in a limited time frame, but the D-day is where it all goes wrong. So I decided, I will go with a nothing to lose attitude and attempt gmat once more in a month. In my second attempt, I ended up with a 670. One month and 10 point improvement was not what I was expecting. I thought since I have a good momentum going, I will focus on gmat for one more month completely and try to just beat my current score, whatever it maybe. I subscribed to the egmat course and I ended up with a 680 (Q50, V32). I wasn't completely satisfied but I took it in my stride and started thinking of applications.

I decided to give one last attempt in July 2021 before I start my applications, and that's when I resumed my egmat subscription in May and asked for help from a mentor to guide me through the prep and correct me in case I go wrong. And since the first day itself, Atreya was as involved in my prep as I was. I was given a complete day to day plan with instructions on how to review the errors I was making. Since I had lost touch in the last 5 months, it was not easy to pick up right where I left off. But within 1 month, my mock scores went from 690s to 740s. My verbal improved from V34 to V42 in my mocks and my Quant stayed consistent at Q49. I was given a constant push from Atreya to hit Q50 in every mock I give. And that is when the error log and going through the explanations helped me a lot. Through the data analytics after my each test, I was able to understand that I was making a lot of errors in the Number systems and word problem sections and I went back to the drawing board to do concept cementing quizzes to better my quant performance. And it worked within a week of consistent effort. For verbal, what helped my performance was patience to go back and do the questions using the correct approach. Trust me, meaning based approach to solve SC questions is a miracle. It surpasses the need to find flaws in a sentence and saves a ton of time and effort. Similarly reading skills are really important for CR and RC. Having a proper approach really helps in answering these questions.

I was still super afraid of the tests as a lot of it was banking on the score, but one thing that sigma mocks helped me do is to gauge my performance in a gmat and gain some confidence. The mocks are really close to the gmat exam, especially the verbal section, which will test your test taking temprament very well.

In the final 2 weeks, all my weak focus areas were pointed and Atreya was able to get me help from all the subject matter experts in a very short time frame. He very dilligently helped me everyday with my doubts and questions and kept the motivation up till th every last day of my exam. It helped me a lot to get over my nerves and do better.

I would recommend e-GMAT to anyone who is planning to start their prep. It is always helpful to have a constant guiding light when one is confused about so many things.
