I came across E-Gmat on YouTube when I was looking for a specific GMAT topic. I somehow landed on their website and it was the best thing that happened to me in the entire 2020.

I had an introduction session with one of their team members. He very politely told me that they way I was studying for my GMAT was not correct. You see, I was studying to learn, not to score. It's the worst strategy for any competitive exam. I knew absolutely everything in the course but could not translate that to a decent score.

I purchased their GMAT Online package. Their course is so well designed that it almost programs you to do well. It is self-paced and it tests you on the smallest concepts before you proceed. You learn in a way that your scores become ironclad. Say you are getting a 700 in their mock tests, there is absolutely no way you would get any lower on your final exam without a solid reason.

It works well for someone with a weak quant/verbal ability as well as someone with a strong ability.

Another brilliant aspect of their course is that it creates a dashboard for you that can tell you EXACTLY what your problem areas are. For example, it doesn't just tell you that your sentence correction is a problems. It will tell you that you are weak in a very specific type of modifier questions. It is a very scientific approach to studying. Honestly, it has changed the way I approach many other aspects of my life.

Let me try to sum up in a few points:

Pros:
1. Very structured approach to the course
2. Minutely detailed dashboard that helps you pinpoint your problem areas to a tee.
3. Very prompt team in case you need extra help or guidance or just moral support
4. Large question bank across all topics.
5. Both, verbal and quant, sections are robust.


Cons:
Honestly, none. I did struggle with their platform in the beginning because it's extensive. I wrote to them and got an explanation in less than 30 mins.

Who is it for?

-Anyone looking to take the GMAT without wasting any time. There is a lot of material out there and I have tried it all. My advice, just take this course and that's all you need. A very unpopular but gold advice - you do not even need the The Official Guide for GMAT.

Good luck!

Target Test Prep is without a doubt, the best GMAT prep on the market. I studied for months using one of the bigger competitors (e.g. Manhattan, Veritas) and couldn't break 680. If you are truly committed to earning a strong GMAT score, Target will get you there.

Target made the difference for me and got my score to a 730. If you commit to the full program, you will walk into your test completely prepared for anything it throws your way. Target has detailed lessons on every type of problem you will encounter as well as thousands of practice problems.

I was a little worried about the fact that Target is self-guided, but Scott and his team responded to each of my questions within 5 minutes

Thank you, Scott and team, for providing life-changing test prep at an affordable price.

I signed up for an intensive course with Reed Arnold at Manhattan Prep. The group met twice per week for a month, and at the end I came within ten points of my goal score (and 15 points above the median for the school I want to go to). This class is HARD, but if you stay focused and do the work, it will absolutely get you the results you're looking for. Quant was much weaker than verbal for me, and after months of studying on my own, I had made very little improvement on my practice tests. By the end of the online course, I had learned how to break down quant problems to understand what was really being asked, and how to do fast, accurate GMAT math. Manhattan Prep is a powerhouse for a reason; they have tons of great data and insight into what you should be putting your time and energy toward learning. From timing strategies to daily meditation, they really take studying to the next level.

In general the platform is really user friendly and the quality of the content is amazing. I loved how I could go over a certain topic as much as I wanted until I finally understood the topic 100%.
The best thing about e-gmat is their focus on LEARNING THE CONCEPTS. Most gmat tutors or coaches focus on shortcuts or tricks for gmat exercise But e-gmat wants you to have a clear understanding of the concepts, a clear understanding of the meaning of each sentence and proves that gmat exercises CAN be solved on time when you have strong foundations. Strong foundations are key to solve 700+ exercises.
In addition, e-gmat platform is very data driven and really helpful in detecting weaknesses and pain points. During the final weeks before the actual exam this can be a game-changer to get the most of your final hours of study.

I found the Interact program through Manhattan Prep to be quite beneficial in helping me to achieve my target score. I began studying in early February and by early April I was consistently achieving above 700 on the official practice exams.

The course is a great combination of original material and official guide problem sets, and the video lessons almost always helped me to better understand the topics covered.

My only issue was finding the Manhattan mock exams a lot more difficult than the real thing. For example, I scored 590 on a Manhattan mock and a 760 on an official mock two days later. At the same time, however, I can't argue that they didn't help prepare me for the real exam.

I took the gmat course from e-GMAT for two GMAT attempts over four months. I first took the course and received a decent score, and worked with them to get a much higher score in my second try. I also worked with the consultants/advisors to work through my ESR report to focus my attention on areas of improvement and improve my score. My score did jump significantly in the Verbal section, thanks to the process suggested by the E-GMAT team. The scholaranium practice questions were incredibly helpful and so were the mock tests. I definitely recommend the E-GMAT course, and in particular the Verbal course.

e-GMAT's Quant program is great for people with no Maths background!

In my current job, I only use basic maths and I rely heavily on Excel. As a result, I knew that I had a long way to go in Quant after seeing just a few practice GMAT questions. I did heavy research online and found that e-GMAT had many great reviews in both Quant and Verbal, so I signed up!

After starting the Quant section, my belief that I have a long way to go in Quant was confirmed. e-GMAT's lessons are well structured, with videos and clear explanations. However, at first I found there to be a giant leap between the concept files and the practice questions (the practice questions got hard for me, really quickly!). e-GMAT's Quant questions are actually tougher than the actuals GMAT's Quant questions, but this is great preparation and people who are serious about getting a high score should embrace this.

e-GMAT then rolled out Quant 2.0, which is a substantial upgrade over the original Quant files. Quant 2.0 takes more time to assess your current skill level, before then recommending next steps. If your baseline knowledge is low, Quant 2.0 does a great job of slowly teaching the concepts from a foundational level. My Quant reached another level after completing some Quant 2.0 materials. However, due to the time crunch before my GMAT date, I only used Quant 2.0 for Number Properties and going into the exam, I knew that I still had some work to do on Algebra and Geometry.

When it comes to Verbal, I made the mistake of believing that a native English speaker like myself will fly through the Verbal section. Hence, I put a heavier emphasis on Quant and my GMAT score clearly displays this.

Moving forward to the exam day, I decided to take the exam anyway despite my gaps in Algebra, Geometry, Verbal and mental stamina. I wanted to get the first crack out the way and experience the exam pressure first-hand. I completed the GMAT Online on Monday 4th January 2021. My overall score was 670 (Q49, V32, IR6), which is significantly lower than my target score. On the bright side though - I achieved a Q49 by doing Quant 1.0 and only Number Properties in Quant 2.0, so I still have plenty of new, useful content to work through as I prepare for my retake.

Looking ahead, as I am not happy with 670 and I know that I can achieve a higher score with the right preparation, I now look forward to completing the rest of Quant 2.0 and digging deep into Verbal, before retaking the GMAT on 4th March, 2021. I strongly believe that by completing Quant 2.0 in Algebra and Geometry and by completing the robust Verbal program, I will achieve Q50+, V40+ and my target score.

What is even greater about e-GMAT is their commitment to their students' success. e-GMAT are now helping me craft a study plan to help me achieve my target score, which is outstanding support in my opinion.

I will be back to update this amazing community again after my GMAT retake :)

EDIT AFTER RETAKE - 12/MAY/2021

I started my GMAT journey in July 2020 with quant capabilities in desperate need of development. After a couple months of frustrations, I started e-GMAT in September 2020.

By the time December rolled around, my Quant still was not up to par. However, my online exam was booked for 4th January and I felt that instead of postponing, I should get sit the exam anyway just to get the first shot out the way and make myself feel comfortable moving forward. Whilst doing some last-minute revision, I noticed that e-GMAT had upgraded their Quant course, Quant 2.0. I completed part of the new Number Properties and realised how much of a massive upgrade Quant 2.0 was over Quant 1.0, so I emailed e-GMAT with some positive feedback and a few questions. e-GMAT then offered to put me through their mentorship program, with Archit as my mentor.

I ended up taking the GMAT three times – the first two online and the last one in the test centre. Archit helped me from just before exam #1 all the way to exam #3, and I cannot begin to explain how valuable his guidance and support was. My exam results were:

1. 4th January 2021: 670 (Q49, V32) - Online
2. 4th March 2021: 690 (Q47, V38) - Online
3. 7th May 2021: 740 (Q48, V44) – Test Centre

With the ESR not available after the first attempts, Archit and I had a couple debriefs then he would recommend next steps. Archit would also check in from time-to-time to see how everything is going. Archit not only held me accountable, but also took the time to analyse my quiz and mock results to recommend the best possible next steps.

Overall, I strongly believe it would have taken me much longer to score 740 if I had not worked with Archit from January. A big thank you from me, and a strong recommendation for all reading this to consider e-GMAT and their mentorship program!

I would like to split the review in two parts one is the course for imprroving your fundamental skills other is skills/strategy for taking the exam .

I give a 10/10 for improving the fundamental skills ,the first aspect,especially your verbal . And as most of them already know e-gmat follows a step-by-step process, there is not much i could add up to its value which has proven the test of time.And regarding Quant i dint much stress on my preparation, may be i should've , thats what is reflected in my gmat Quant :47. By the way , I got a score of 680 (V35,Q47) , I dont want to stress much on how i got here or the score , becuase i want to emphasise more on the improvement you can make through the course. So no complaints so far with material , scholaranium and approach.

On the second point i have some reservations the stategy , the plan . This is the most underrated thing in GMAT , As when i started the prep i thought i could win with brute force skill. I Wouldnt recommend that. In this particular aspect , may be e-gmat could provide some help. And the mock gmat scores might represent the actual score.they have tendency to show high score. Having said that , may its too much to ask of it since the strategy needs are dynamic from person to person.

As the title tells you, it is an essential course, which I will recommend for whom who is starting to prepare for GMAT and have no idea to where to begin with.
As I have mentioned that this course will give you all the topics and the theory related to them, but It is not the only thing which you will need in your preparation, I mean you will need help from couple of other sources specially for practice.

I really liked the Critical Reasoning part. I will say with respect to CR its pretty much a bible/Geeta.

Overall, its a very good course specially verbal section.

They have most comprehensive test series. questions are inline with actual difficulty. Also to note no. of tests are 15 which are ample for practice. Best value buy option. Also each answer has a video explanation.

The test analysis has section wise summary and difficulty level mentioned as we that helps you to identify key areas for improvement.


The GMAT shot videos are very crisp summary of key concepts and a must to revise in short span of time. It also encapsulates the errors that you can do due to exceptions which are key for scoring.

and beyond that the support team responds pretty fast for any issues that adds icing to the cake. My experience has been good.
