e-GMAT is an excellent GMAT prep provider, which caters to all types of students - those starting out from scratch or for those who are taking the course to improve their existing level of proficiency. The pre-course diagnostic test helps students assess their current proficiency levels, which enables the student to pace his course work accordingly.

e-GMAT mentorship is a standout feature. An expert evaluates the various mock exam and other test scores to evaluate the strong and weak areas and would suggest correction course of action. My mentor, Dhananjay, analyzed my mock and other test scores and intervened at the right time to provide the right direction. He specifically identified my weak areas and provided a plan to improve my scores in those areas, the results of which was visible.

I seek to retake my GMAT after scoring a 700, and Dhananjay continues to provide his insights on the retake plan, which is commendable.

I first took the GMAT in November 2020 and scored 640, with a quantitative score of 44. I was not satisfied with this score and wanted to improve my quantitative score in priority because this was key for my university applications.
I subscribed to Target prep in January, the quantitative course section was extremely helpful to improve my quantitative score in only 1 month from Q44 to Q49.
The lectures are great, very well structured, they cover all topics in details and enabled me to be very well prepared for the exam. Moreover, the platform offers a lot of exercises, which are very similar to the ones on the GMAT, which is crucial.
I strongly recommend it is worth the investment!

I finally broke 700 and it was all because of TTP.

I started this messed up journey in 2018 when I thought I'd attend my unranked state school's MBA program. I studied for a month or so then sat for the exam. ... 480. I couldn't even be taken seriously by my state school's standards of a 500 minimum GMAT. In that moment, I had a real epiphany - I'm going to have to work twice as hard to get half as far in life. It's a humbling moment when you realize you're well below average.

I spent that year learning how to learn, studying, reading, and bettering myself in all aspects. In the early summer of 2020, I thought I was ready to try the GMAT again. I took one of the GMAC practice tests and ... 530. Are you kidding me.

That's when I realize I needed help. I couldn't do this alone. I scoured reviews, YouTube, and even reached out personally to people to see what test-prep they liked best. I watched webinars, and realized, a lot of these test-prep companies weren't for me. To add to this, the predatory, HEAVY advertising gave me a lot of trust issues - I know this because I work in advertising... I'm part of the problem lol.

After going to the deepest darkest depths of YouTube, I ran into this review video about some Australian guy who spent a year getting from a 470 to a 710 with the help of TTP. I wanted to believe it was authentic (still not sure because I think he's affiliated with TTP in some way), but tbh, his story was super similar to mine. Real or not, TTP's sales pitch was the most relatable to me.

And oh boy did I make the right choice. If you didn't have a strong foundation in Math or Grammar, you NEED this. Honestly TTP should sell it's course to High-Schools. It's literally life changing.

What I liked most is that TTP didn't FEEL like WORK. Their UI/UX (design of website) is aesthetically pleasing and the module are very easy to follow. But not too easy - they still make a point for you to learn and internalize the concepts (this was HUGE for me).

Also, Scott, the guy who talks in most of the videos is candid and seems like a guy you could have a beer with. Most of the other test prep videos are so monotone and lecture-like. If I had to listen to 6 months of someone droning on about probabilities I would have literally lost my mind. TTP is super casual with their approach to learning which really helps you give a crap. They get it - you're probably not doing this because you live math or the GMAT. It's a means to an end and they make it as painless as possible.

By the end of this long journey... I can say I earned that 700!

2019: I'm from Vietnam and currently a college senior majoring in Management Information Systems in the US. I thought that I had a decent background in math so I didn't focus on the Quant section at first. For my first attempt in December 2018, I got a Q44, which was very disappointing. I decided to give Target Test Prep a try after reading a lot of reviews on GMAT Club. I was in a time crunch so I decided to go with the accelerated study plan. I used the ESR from my first attempt to study my weakest chapters first. For each chapter, I studied the Must Know Review and then did 3-4 medium tests and 1-2 hard tests. I invested approximately 40 hours in total over 8 weeks and finally got a Q49 in my second attempt in March 2019. My improvement from Q44 to Q49 definitely came from the structured approach of Target Test Prep. Target Test Prep does an amazing job at breaking down each chapter into a manageable unit of knowledge. I love how each test question connects directly to a lesson so that I can quickly fill my knowledge gap. Jeff and Scott are also very responsive to emails to answers any questions. I'd highly recommend Target Test Prep for anyone who wants to improve their Quant score.
2021: On my 3rd attempt at the GMAT, I used Target Test Prep again to practice and keep up my quant skills. I ended up getting the same score as in 2019 (Q49) with a total score of 760! Again, highly recommend Target Test Prep for quant prep

The difference between e-GMAT and other services is night and day. e-GMAT has a very detailed course that provides all the tools need to succeed in the GMAT.

Based on your strengths and weaknesses, a personalised study plan is composed to better focus your study time. I struggled with SC and RC as well as overall time management before starting the course. Following the program, I scored in the 87th percentile for sentence correction and vastly improved not only my time management but overall score.

The teaching methods used are intuitive to follow, starting with the fundamentals and building upon that to move onto more advanced question styles. Furthermore, there are countless practice questions within the scholaranium to reinforce each topic that you have learned.

The material does not stop there as the team at e-GMAT provides interactive live sessions where you work on various question styles to best prepare for the exam. You also have several mocks to assess your potential score on exam day and identify your weaknesses.

Rajat, Payal and the rest of the e-GMAT team will work with you to enhance your strengths and help develop your weaknesses so you perform better on exam day. I cannot recommend e-GMAT enough as it is the best service to prepare yourself.

For anyone planning to take the GMAT exam, E-gmat's curriculum is a godsend. I had a low score on Verbal (V27) in the first mock I took and the Master Comprehension module given right before the verbal module, helped me in building concepts that were required to solve the tricky and often lengthy sentence correction and critical reasoning questions. The verbal module breaks the entire SC, CR and RC into small blocks where each and every possible information is covered and learning is retained due to multiple repetitions and practice and application quizzes.
Designing tests according to my aptitude in the Scholaranium platform helped me determine my exact areas of weaknesses and the areas which needed the most attention.

I was impressed with the detailed course breakdown. Verbal was my weakness but the course really helped me improve a lot. The theory for SC and CR is just phenomenal.
SC- The Modifier section of eGmat is the best you can find. The practice questions are also of the actual GMAT type.
CR- The way this seemingly abstract concept has been broken down is just too good. The learnings from this module goes well beyond GMAT exam. Needless to say it's a greatly designed module.
Quant- For me quant was never the issue. The questions given by eGmat are on a tougher side but it's better to practice.
Support- This is the main USP of eGmat. Any query and they are there for you. Even after my GMAT, they helped me in my college selection process.

I followed the one month study plan and increased my score by 30 points. Before buying the premium account, I was having trouble finishing the math section in the allotted time. I was surprised because I do a fair amount of math in my work. Magoosh helped me see more patterns in GMAT math questions (and even re-develop “number sense”). After practicing their “hard”/“very hard” questions in their test bank, I could better assess which questions were worth skipping on test day. I got interviews to 3/3 top graduate schools I applied to and think my GMAT score supported my candidacy. Big thanks to the Magoosh team for creating great study plans to hold oneself to!

I finally got a 700 in my GMAT today ( Q50 , V34) .
I wanted to take the opportunity to share my journey here to help all students who are perhaps confused among the many sources available for preparation.
I started my journey with e-GMAT sometime back and my first GMAT Prep Official mock was 560 (Q45,V22). Given an engineering background i was confident of being able to do well in Quant if i brush up on some concepts, however the Verbal score was very disappointing. Here i would like to share that even though i am a non native speaker, my medium of study has always been English - thus a V22 was shocking.
My friend recommended e-GMAT to me for improving my Verbal. Here i would like to highlight that the course is very structured with a focus on 3 stages of learning - Building a strong foundation , cementing methods learnt, Gauging the Ability through custom quizzes and full length tests. The entire Verbal course focusses on meaning based approach , which is the key to getting higher scores.
The verbal course helped me improve my point by 8 and My first GMAT attempt was at 620 ( Q43, V31). I would like to highlight here that i did not focus on Quant much except solving OG questions. While i did well in the OG questions, the actual GMAT quant was much tougher especially if you are aiming at scores above Q48. I came back and wrote to the support team in E-GMAT. Within a few hours , i got a response from them - with an analysis of my account and requesting an ESR. I did provide the ESR and again within a few hours - i got a full analysis of my ESR, where i might be going wrong and what i should be doing to improve my scores. Again a very step by step approach was suggested - with major emphasis on doing the QUANT 2.0 course.
This course is a game changer ! The structure of the course again is on the 3 stages of learning - however they very interestingly have divided the modules such that you first give a Diagnostic test ( by topic) to gauge your understanding on the topic - then you have concepts, practice tests and then GMAT level question practice. Each module has been designed the same way and in the end you are recommended to go back and do the diagnostic test.
That in itself is a proof because you immediately would see your scores increasing.
Given that I was working full time , i was looking for something structured, on point and with best ROI of my time and Quant 2.0 course of eGMAT was exactly that. I would highly recommend this to professionals as it would help you reduce your prep time significantly. One more interesting feature of the course is that you have video solutions for everything and you can adjust the speed of watching the video :)
Post the course , cementing and practicing questions - the actual GMAT test seemed much simpler and the evidence is the Q50 i scored.
I also would like to highlight the role of the support team here - DJ, Ashutosh, Nava - the response time as well as the willingness to help is really commendable. They do care for every student's score, career and time as if it was their own .
Highly recommend the course !
Good luck on your GMAT journey

'Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did"

These words above are in brief the story of my GMAT journey which spans across 3.5+ years and 5 attempts (excl. one failed GMAT online attempt).

Disappointed after getting another sub-par score in Aug 2020, I spoke to an e-GMAT mentor and enrolled for both verbal and quant course i.e. e-GMAT online course.

On my enrollment, I was advised to take a mock to understand my level of understanding from previous attempts. Based on the score in mock, I was enrolled to a mentorship program. At the time of buying the course I was not aware of any such program and didn't realize how important it will be for my preparation. This mentorship program and the scholaranium were the key factors for my 160 point score improvement and 20 point improvement in verbal section.

The mentorship program provided the customized touch for the students and encouraged students to perform better with right strategy and focus. This human touch to the prep was what I needed after 4 failed attempts. I worked with Dhananjay (DJ) during my preparation and he was the constant motivator for me as he knew that I not high on confidence after failed attempts. He provided an initial strategy to go through the course. After I have gone through the content, I was provided a plan to build my ability through the ability quizzes. As I moved closed to my exam date, DJ provided a 15 day exam readiness plan to prepare me for the exam day. This exam readiness plan helped me work on my timing strategy that I used during the exam. DJ was very reachable during the entire course and helped me achieve my target score.

Scholaranium provided insights into the type of questions that I was getting wrong. This data driven approach helped me identify gaps in my preparation and guided me to concepts or process that I needed to revise or needed to get polished to it right in exam.

In terms of content of the course, verbal course is one of the best that I came across during my preparation. The focus on getting the process right for solving each type of question led me to use a structured approach (3 stage process) for each question. This provided clarity during the exam as I was not left on my own to find the right approach and also led me to reduce the time required to solve each question. Moving on to the quant course, it is one of the most comprehensive course. It covered all concepts that are tested on GMAT. The course is structured in such a way to develop a good memory of concepts on topics such as number properties or geometry. The quant course pushed my quant score from 49 to 50.

I will be happy to address any further queries. Please drop a message on LinkedIn.

Apologies for the inadvertent typos
