Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

The focus on data, analytics and process skills to excel at the GMAT is what led me to the e-GMAT online course.
After my first attempt, I was looking for a course that would help bridge my concept and ability gaps. Though, I was comfortable with Quants initially, after going through the course, I did learned the correct methods to solve higher difficulty level questions. The Quant course is very comprehensive and the Quant 2.0 course helped me identify the exact nuances and traps present in difficult DS questions.

The e-GMAT strategy team was always supportive and helpful with providing concrete next steps throughout my preparation. My call with Dhananjay (DJ) helped me understand where exactly I was faltering and and how to improve on the same. The last minute pro tips were super helpful in building that confidence just before my exam. The video analyses from DJ and Ashutosh were very helpful in understanding the exact areas that I could improve on to reach the score I deserved and kept motivating me to keep working towards achieving my goal.

If you are dedicated towards excelling at the GMAT, then the e-GMAT team would leave no stone unturned to help you realize your potential.

I was really struggling with gmat quant until i found ttp! It is a thorough course that goes from math basics to complicated topics, and believes in the fact that practice makes perfect. I started the course with Q39 in the gmac official practice and i ended up getting a Q48 on the real GMAT after a few months of tough studying. The ttp team helps you with any problem ir request you could have. The verbal section is also amazing, but it is still in pre-launch, im sure that the full program will be as good as quant is. Totally recommended for the dedicated student (as they also claim).

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

The course was very comprehensive. Really helped me improve my fundamentals. The well curated video lectures coupled with powerful analytics of Scholaranium, helped me improve my verbal score. The video lectures were easy to understand as well as detailed. With Scholaranium, I could improve my SC the most,followed by CR and RC.The score in cementing & custom quizzes actually was true reflector of actual score. The Quant was a little harder than actual Quant but was good enough for practice. Also the Quant 2.0 as recently launched by Egmat looks promising
The strategy team also helped by offering timely study schedule and mapping progress timely. The support the team provided was commendable
Highly recommend this course for GMAT verbal prep irrespective if anyone is starting or is retaking the exam

I struggled with the key concepts (number properties, set overlaps, rate / work) but the TTP course is so thorough in its explanations. It gives you neat tips and tricks to master these tough concepts, for e.g. the grid method for overlapping sets or the R-T-D/R-T-W chart for rate/work problems.
I also love love love the Easy/Medium/Hard tests at the end of each chapter. This builds your Quant muscles like now other. I used to dread taking them at the beginning, but after a few chapters, you get into a rhythm – the habit of taking these test regularly also prepped me well for the actual GMAT exam.

E-gmat has been very helpful throughout my prep to reach my target score of 760. Starting off with a well tailored plan structured according to my schedule, which gave me a very realistic preparation timeline, I was able to pace the journey at my own time. The conceptual videos especially for verbal section really helped me understand the core concepts and customized quizzes on Scholaranium helped me perfectly brush up my concepts before moving on. The support provided by the team throughout my prep really helped me feel secure and confident. I did not even buy an OG and that's how comprehensive the materials are. Mock analysis tools helped me improve with each mock and when combined with Scholaranium, helped me focus and direct my efforts on the areas that needed work. So thankful!

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

I started preparing for GMAT 2.5 months back. With a full-time job, I used to find 2 hours a day on weekdays and 4-5 hrs on weekends for test preparation. I started by taking a diagnostic test by Manhattan Prep in which I scored 640. I completed OG verbal and quant first and then gave another Manhattan Prep test in which I again scored a 640. I realised that there were gaps in my preparation and I needed to get a strong hold on fundamental concepts first. I used the study materials available on GMAT club for all Quant and Verbal topics and made notes on all the concepts. I found Manhattan GMAT study material quite helpful for verbal. For quant, I focussed on solving more and more questions and building my approach by reviewing solutions. And this is where my Quant strategy did not improve at all!

I gave the Free Sigma Mock Test available on EGMAT and found myself scoring a 43 on Quant and a 43 on verbal. After weeks of practice, this score led me to seek support in understanding gaps in my preparation. I reached out to Dhananjay Lowe, an expert with EGMAT. He helped me analyze my Sigma Mock Test and devised a preparation strategy that could cement my work thus far. My exam was exactly a month away. And how EGMAT works is that they analyze your latest mock (only MBA.com mocks or Sigma Mocks btw!) and highlight gap areas to you. In my case, my preparation was at varying stages in different topics. For e.g., I needed a stage 1 (conceptual and process skill development) training in Algebra and Geometry whereas Stage 2 (Cementing Quizzes) in NP, Word Problems and Advanced topics. Similarly in verbal, I needed to go through Stage 1 again (Concepts and Process development) in CR and Stage 2 in RC and SC.

What is amazing about EGMAT is that it is very logical and structural in approach. It won't let you leave things to chance. Payal's videos on Quant helped me improve my techniques drastically. After practicing quizzes in concept files and scholaranium, my confidence went up a lot and I found my test anxiety also going away.

If I were to do it all over again, I would honestly start my preparations with EGMAT (not an exaggeration). They help you save time, get your approach right and get a strong grasp on fundamentals.

Oh, and please don't forget to check out their new Quant course. The section on "GMAT skills" is amazing! If you take that up, you are going to seal a great score.

I do feel that if I had more time in hand, my preparations given all the study material and quizzes available on EGMAT could have been better and I would have gotten Q50 on the D-Day which I really hoped for. :-P

Thank you DJ, Rajat and Payal for helping me out at the right time with the right strategy.

Jamie is a fantastic instructor and makes the online course format as engaging as possible. She makes the material, particularly Quant, easy to understand and provides her unique strategies for tackling certain types of problems. The post-course assessment was great to provide some structure on how to study after the course ends and before the real exam. It's also great that Manhattan Prep offers a post-exam assessment if you don't meet your score goals so you know what to focus on to prepare for the next exam. Overall Manhattan Prep is a great service for studying for the GMAT, and Jamie in particular is a fantastic instructor who will help you achieve your goal score!

Tremendous Improvement - Diagonastic Q32 to Real Q44

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

I had very very rusty math and on diagonstic test I scored Q32. I was searching for something solid and found TTP on internet. I browsed the site and it got hold of me - it was like love at first sight.
The only mistake I did was, I did not buy it via gmatclub's marketplace and missed additional discounts. This happened because I was a visitor to this gmatclub and used this forum just to see reviews on GMATclub, and I was not a member.

The course is very very nicely structured and user interface is clean and neat. You have very detailed theory for every chapter and then the concepts are reinforced by means by easy, medium and hard tests at the end of every chapter. Also, you can create your own customized quizes/tests.
I am NOT a video person and the answers in plain text made sense to me - precise & step-wise. Of course, there are video explanations as well for the ones who love it.
Moreover, the course ensures that you won't forget the chapters you learnt in beginning, while you are learning new ones. It offers you periodic reviews in plan and tests for the topics you had covered so far. Just follow the plan and you are all set.

I was on and off studies during my preparation, which got elongated to almost 16+ months and I had to repurchase the course as my subscription had ended - Jeff/Scott were generous to give me good discount then and afterwords.

Because of unexpected events in my personal life(my wife's sudden illness and surgery, my 2 yr daughter was falling sick often) and professional life (got promotion but it brought new assignments and changed schedules), I had to take breaks - a month long and sometimes 2 month long breaks.
Because of the breaks I kept forgetting few of the things I did learn in beginning. I had done all the 2500 problems almost twice and was exhausted with OG 15,16,17 guides for verbal and moreover my wife also got tired of this long preparations and I had to wind up GMAT. I scheduled it on Oct 31,2018 and scored 600 (Q44 V28 IR3).
The course did wonders to me from diagnostic Q32 to Q44 on real GMAT. Had I been more disciplined and consistent in my studies, I definitely could have reached 48-49 with this wonderful course. my ESR revealed the same weak areas, what the course was telling me.

My sincere advice is just be disciplined, follow the plan, within the course, read the strategies, that are included.
Don't rush through the course take the time to work and solidify your concepts and it will do wonders.
I definitely am going to retake this wonderful course even for my next attempt.

Highly recommended for "learning” the concepts. I would suggest going for the entire thing which includes Quant and Verbal. It covers exceptionally important yet often overlooked skills such as reading (in its Master Comprehension tutorials) that are absolutely critical on all the GMAT sections and helps you hone specific skills with its endlessly customizable quiz builder (Scholaranium). It's easily the most well thought-out and one of the most comprehensive online courses out there and is well worth the investment.
One of the amazing things that e-GMAT did was get me into a habit of following their 3-step process to answer a question and maintain an error log.
The prompt doubt solving and the sigma mocks were simply amazing. Ask anything you want on the forum and you'd get an apt and detailed reply within the day. It never took me longer than that to reach them for any issues I had. The interactive user experience is one of the bests I've seen and it would facilitate your learning for sure!

Sufficient and Straightforward Standalone Way to Study for Quant

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

As a standalone Quant course, TTP was perfect. Probably one of the hardest parts of studying for quant is finding a place to start and developing a comprehensive study plan. For me, the OG book was woefully insufficient in order to reach an acceptably high quant score. TTP had a very structured and comprehensive study plan. It took about 4 months of 3-4 hours studying/day to complete the whole course but it was “easy” in that it was all very straightforward. TTP also forces you to do a ton of practice questions which gave me more than enough reps to feel comfortable with every concept. I feel my foundational math skills have also just generally improved considerably as a result. I have no doubt that most people who complete the course in its entirety will be more than prepared for the GMAT. My one caveat would be to not neglect the recommended official MBA practice tests at the end of the course. While TTP encourages great concept mastery, the format and style of official questions still take some getting used to.

I also completed a portion of the Verbal offering, which is still in Beta. I won’t be rating the Verbal portion because it’s still a work in progress but it’s definitely on the right track. Content is still sparse right now but, I would assume, more lessons and questions are on their way (they added new tests while I was studying).
