I got 710 (V39, Q47) on my GMAT after studying with E-GMAT for about 3 months. Here is a detailed review:

- VALUE/PRICE: A Brazilian friend of mine told me that E-GMAT had a great solution with a fair price and after reviewing other players in the market, I got to the same conclusion and signed up for it. I suggest taking both Verbal/Quant courses in a bundle because that will be enough for you to crack the GMAT and it has a good price.
- VERBAL: This is their main strength. There is a lot of content out there teaching you the WHAT (the concepts), but the thing about GMAT is that you must master the HOW to solve the questions. That's exactly the E-GMAT's value proposition and once you master the methods for SC, RC, CR it's impossible for you to forget. The concepts are well taught too, but the methods are the best part of it.
- QUANT: There is a detailed explanation of all the concepts throughout the course and they are mixed with diagnostic and quizzes, making sure one fully understands it. One suggestion I'd like to make is that I feel the Verbal course is superior to Quant because of its focus on the methods. Even though there are methods in Quant, there are just too many of them compared to Verbal.
- ANALYTICS: It doesn't matter if you study 8 hours in a day if you don't get the results you need, so you need to be smart about it. The best way for that is using data to understand what you don't know yet. E-GMAT does exactly that. Their practice questions (Scholaranium) is fantastic and it will allow you not to fool yourself and focus on what you need to. You will see your scores per VERBAL/QUANT accordingly to each topic requested on the GMAT.

If you are Brazilian, don't go for the local solutions. E-GMAT is great, it has an amazing price for what it offers and it will help you in your journey.

When I attempted GMAT 3 years back, I scored 660, with a decent quant score but a dismal verbal score. I started preparing for GMAT again around October 2020, with an aim to score 700+. I initially relied on questions from GMATClub and OG, and after a few months of practice gave my first official mock test, scoring a 660. Again, I noticed a stark contrast between my quant and verbal scores. Realizing that I needed serious help with verbal, I decided to opt for e-GMAT.

The video lectures offered by e-GMAT for verbal are unparalleled in terms of quality. The lectures start with explaining the basics, and then show how questions are solved by breaking down each option and eliminating options one by one. I learned a lot of strategies to solve various types of questions, such as placement of verb-ing words for SC questions, negation strategy for CR questions, summarizing RC paragraphs, etc.

e-GMAT Scholaranium provides plenty of questions. You get to apply the strategies learned from video lectures on questions of varying difficulties (Easy, Medium, Hard). Scholaranium comes with a dashboard to help you understand the areas/types of questions that need improvement. Apart from the video lectures and Scholaranium, e-GMAT also provides a myriad of helpful articles on their website, and I often found myself going back to these articles again and again to refresh my memory.

In conclusion, e-GMAT helped me overcome the verbal score plateau, and I would recommend their verbal course to everyone aiming to score 700+ on GMAT.

I decided to take the GMAT a few months back I was exploring web for test preps. I am an engineer and people I know around me do not take GMAT that often, so web search was the best option I had to find the right course for me. Initially I got some books from another leading test prep service provider and I just realised that the verbal section was not doing it for me. People on GMAT Club say that it is easier to improve on SC, whereas no matter how much I tried, my growth in SC was stuck! So in my search for course for SC, I found some reviews of e-GMAT on GC and I decided to give it a try. Now, looking back, I am glad that I did!

Here are my thoughts on the overall course prep-

1. For verbal, e-GMAT is probably the most effective course prep for someone who is not a grammar nazi. Their meaning based approach actually works- its not just another jargon created by the test prep providers. The quality of questions are comparable to OG and the real exam, and the difficulty of the questions made me comfortable in facing any surprises in the verbal. Their focus on grammar is limited to absolute essential and the structured steps suggested in the course got ingrained into me as I moved ahead with the course. The pre-thinking approach they teach in CR seems long and counter-intuitive initially but it works like magic once you get a grasp on it.

2. Quant was already a stronger area for me because of my background but I felt that their quant section has a very good step by step approach to getting to harder level questions for someone for whom quant is a problem area.

3. Scholaranium is the platform that they use to develop test taking ability. Obviously the quizzes customisable by topic/difficulty, but on top of that they have adaptive ability quizzes to each of the area in verbal and quant to develop test taking ability. The metrics that they provide has a lot of data that can can be used to identify any weak area with concept, timing or difficulty and work on it.

4. The Sigma-X mocks that the course offers are very closely comparable to the real thing. My exam score very closely matches with my Sigma-X mock scores. In my opinion, the quality and difficulty of the questions are very much in line with the real thing.

5. Most importantly, the e-GMAT team is very approachable in every way. They arrange weekly webinars on various topics which are extremely effective. Plus, whenever I wrote to them for guidance, they have reverted quick with extremely valuable inputs on strategy, identifying weak areas and even helped me plan study routines at times. A couple of weeks before the exam, when I reached out to them, they actually helped me plan the full weeks leading up to the exam day! Honestly, this was not something I was even looking for when I subscribed to the course!

I am writing this review because I felt that the reviews I've read on GC helped me when I was exploring course to choose from and I believe my experience should help someone else too. I think if you are planning on taking the GMAT exam, you can't go wrong with e-GMAT. Period.

Being a non- native candidate, verbal was always tedious and difficult to master for me. With about 6 months of self-preparation and hopping on & off from random contents of preparation from online resources, I realized that GMAT requires a structural approach than some random tricks.

I stumbled upon e-GMAT through reviews on GMAT Club and other forums. I was already scoring Q49 to 50 on mock tests but was scoring V25 to V28 on verbal section. I gave their sigmaX mock and got 640 with similar results in quant and verbal section. I reached out to e-GMAT for help in only verbal section. Thereafter, the journey has been great.
Module-wise review -
1. SC- One of the best section with foundation building concept videos. I think this is the best module prepared by them. Meaning based approach is really great.
2. CR & RC- Entire approach was around understanding the passages and thinking critically with out of box solutions.
PS: No mugging up (most imp :) )
I think for all the students whose basics are not on line. e-GMAT is the only platform which can help you.

I initially started off at a very low score [470] in my first mock test [before I started my GMAT preparation]. I was very disappointed to know that my basics were pretty weak and that I needed to study a lot to be test-ready for the GMAT.
After reading multiple satisfied reviews about e-gmat on gmatclub, I decided to purchase the online course. I think this is the best course out there because of the following key reasons-
Quant 2.0 course -
1. Quant 2.0 course has covered all topics that are tested on the exam.
2. It is very well structured and you are 80% test ready by the time you have gone through the concept files and the practice tests in the module.
3. Quant Scholaranium takes care of the remaining 20% preparation. The question bank is very comprehensive and there are no similar questions. So the more amount of time you spend on Quant Scholaranium the better you get.
Verbal course -
1. Verbal course is very seamless. After going through the Master comprehension module I could make sense of any sentence structure very easily.
2. The SC concepts seem very logical. The meaning-based approach is taught throughout the course, this approach comes to great aid while solving Hard SC questions.
3. In CR - Pre-thinking approach, taught in the course, helps to tackle every CR question and improves your accuracy.
4. RC - Concepts taught in SC and Master comprehension module helps a lot in understanding a long passage, and with sufficient practice on Verbal scholaranium, reading skills improve.
5. Verbal Scholaranium again has a very comprehensive question bank and the solution explanations are the best one can find on the internet.

One of the unique points about the e-gmat course is the graphical data that is available to you at all times.
How much of a module you have completed, What is your accuracy in different practice tests/ quizzes/ different level questions, How much time you are taking in different question types? It's all there. And it really helps when you are following a strict timeline.

The support from the e-gmat support team is also pretty amazing. I have received some amazing responses from DJ [Dhananjay] whenever I mailed him. His insights really helped.
The subject matter experts are very quick to respond and they write out very detailed explanations, clarifying your doubts at all times. Detailed explanations from Stacey, Vipul, Shraddha really helped in clearing a lot of my doubts.

Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

All the best for your preparation!!

I first took the GMAT in February 2020 (right before COVID) after studying for approx. 3 months using traditional prep materials. I scored a 630. Total devastated I started looking for other study programs and that's when a friend recommended TTP. The quant was particularly helpful. I had been struggling with it, but the program lays out exactly what you need and structures the curriculum in a sequential manner that is intuitive and builds on itself. Practically no previous experience needed. The verbal study sections and practice problems helped me identify common trap answers and think about how I was reading on a much deeper level. TTP was instrumental in me hitting 760.

I took an initial official GMAT exam to gauge where I stood and scored a meager 560, with particular difficulty in the quant section of the exam. After doing some research online about quant-focused GMAT prep courses, I found Target Test Prep and decided to give it a try. I opted for the Flexible Prep plan, not knowing how much time I would need to complete the course and associated practice problems. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Target Test Prep. The material is delivered in a format that is regimented and easily digestible. Additionally, the extensive practice problems closely mirror problems you will encounter on the actual exam and allow for reinforcement and mastery of all concepts. If you are looking for a GMAT prep course to take your score to another level, look no further than Target Test Prep.

The pacing, organization, and detail in TTP's program were perfect. TTP was exactly what I needed. Not knowing where to start with my own prep, I sought out the most effective program I could find, and luckily, I found it. Using Scott & the team's courses on verbal, quant, and even strategy, were immensely valuable. TTP had plenty of practice questions, of each difficulty level, answers and explanations that made sense, and recommendations that I found intuitive. I even found the strategy section of the course particularly valuable because it helped preempt the nerves and distractions that I would have to deal with on test day. Working with limited time, and no official practice test, I knew that I would have to organize my time as effectively as possible. TTP already had that covered. I highly recommend TTP to anyone at any stage in their MBA search.

TTP is a budget friendly option optimal for go getters. While it takes somebody with enough discipline to work their way through the entire course, TTP is a fairly comprehensive option when combined with the free problems available online, especially on GMATClub.

Frankly, I didn't have the discipline or the time to work through everything before I took the exam, but I found the piecemeal portions I went through quite helpful nonetheless. I certainly used many of the strategies TTP taught on the actual GMAT exam.

Far more effective for quant than verbal, as the verbal still has kinks to work out, but the quant alone is likely worth your money. I would recommend TTP to those looking for something cheaper than a class, but more thorough than a book.

At the beginning of my prep, I started with another company's course at the recommendation of a friend but did not find it to be helpful at all. The course had a good amount of practice questions but did not help with learning the theory behind the math (which is very important to do at the beginning of quant prep). Although I did not know anyone who had used TTP before, I took a chance and signed up for the 5-day trial for $1 to test it out. I was very happy with the format and quality of the course. The explanations were easy and TTP provides a wide variety of problems with easy to follow solutions ranging from Easy-Med-Hard. I was interested and motivated throughout and never did I find the course boring in any way. I would definitely recommend starting with the 5-day course to see how you feel and then if you like the structure of the program I'd say go for it! The Hard questions were immensely helpful in my preparation and gave me the confidence to tackle all levels of problems. If you are planning to give the exam in 3-4 months this is a great course for the value compared to others.
