I feel quite happy to write on this forum about my GMAT Journey, which I started in the beginning of 2017. Coming from an engineering background, I was good at quant; However, Verbal remained my Achilles' heel, and I could only reach V29 in my five attempts that I took from 2017 to 2018. With the breakout of Covid-19 in March 2020, I finally decided to give one last shot to GMAT, and this time, I chose e-GMAT for its structured methodology towards acing the GMAT exam.
After a few weeks of enrolling on the e-GMAT platform, I received an email that offered free mentorship for a selected few. My cohort of around 15 people was mentored by Dhananjay(DJ). Not only was DJ able to identify my weak areas but also provided weekly milestones that helped me improve the score linearly as I progressed through the milestones. As an example, For Reading Comprehension, I discussed the articles from 'The Economist' directly with DJ, and he asked me questions that helped me critically evaluate the passages as we read. This process helped me build stamina to read larger passages, and I also reduced my time from over 6 minutes to 3 minutes per passage.
Furthermore, I used to spend more than 2 minutes on almost every Verbal question before I enrolled with e-GMAT, however at the end of 4 months with e-GMAT, my average attempt time was 80 Sec for SC, 105 Sec for CR, and about 110 Sec for RC.
In the three months of my GMAT journey, not only DJ pushed me to do more but also motivated me to put in more effort to realize the dream score. I can also vouch for the e-GMAT platform because I have closely observed how e-GMAT selects its employees. I scored 710 in GMAT, and I can't thank enough to DJ and e-GMAT team enough for helping me reach the desired score.

I might be a user of the e -gmat portal for the longest time so you can believe me when i tell you- GO FOR IT!.Their best feature that helped me the most is their doubt forum- it has so many already solved doubts that it'll only help you learn more.Go through the already solved doubts of a tough question and you will see 30 different approaches and why the provided solution is the best one.Now imagine the amount of knowledge you can gain by just scrolling through the doubts.
Their courses need no introduction, their verbal and quant will prepare you for everything that will be thrown at you during test day, the scholaranium will help you improve your accuracy and the sigma x mocks will help you fine tune your strategy for D-day.I wish they had more mocks.Their support has always solved my doubts within a day,

If you need help ,email them, they WILL help you in any way they can.Ill highly recommend them for any serious aspirant.

I enrolled with e-Gmat for their GMAT Online Program a month before my test date. Even though I was scoring 750+ consistently on the Sigma-X and GmatPrep mocks a week before my appointment date, I could only manage a 700 on my first attempt.
I believed that this score wasn't a representation of my true abilities and so I decided to retake the test. Under e-Gmat's retake mentorship program, I got in touch with Dhananjay sir who was prompt in pointing out the fallacies in my exam-taking strategy. Analyzing my performance in e-Gmat's Sigma-X mocks, he pinpointed multiple intricacies that I never could've imagined would impact my score and following his 15-day study plan, I effectively overcame those shortcomings, ultimately scored 70 points higher. As students, our basic tendency is to step up the efforts we put in as the exam date gets closer and I succumbed to this tendency, over-spending myself in the last week. Had DJ sir not guided me against this and countless such blunders, my second attempt would have been the replay of my first one. Following Dj's hyper-specific study plan got me to my target score and a step closer to my dream B-School. I would highly recommend e-Gmat's mentorship program to anyone planning to take the GMAT. The course content is relevant and precise, the question bank (Scholaranium) is laden with analytical tools yielding meaningful insights and the mentors know just the trick to get you to your target score.

TTP is the best choice for Quant (From Q43 to Q48)

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

Location Online

I started to use Target Test Prep in the middle of my GMAT journey. Before, I used other prep companies' courses and studied on my own, reaching a 600 (Q43 V31) on my first Gmat exam. After that, I continued my preparation but I was stuck on a Q43-44 plateau, having some gaps in my Quant knowledge that separated me from my dream score (a 700+).
So, I decided to buy TTP course and start again with the basics. I selected my target Quant score from the 4 different choice they offer and completed the whole study plan they gave me (more or less 2 months).
Thanks to the in-depth concept explanations, the solid course structure, and the incredible amount of top-quality exercises that TTP offered, I was able to raise my Quant score to a 48 and score a 710 (Q48 V40).

In my experience, if you need help on Quant, TTP is the best you can get!

P.S. I was able to see the Verbal course they are building and it's full of really valuable material as well. The verbal theory section is already available (It could be integrated in your study plan), and maybe has an even better mix of theory and practice inside each chapter than the quant section has. Very impressive!

I purchased eGMAT in July 2019, but hardly ever used it. When it almost expired, I looked at it and fell in love instantly. Used it for several months but without a focus that GMAT prep generally requires. I was extending this course more and more. Honestly speaking, I used eGMAT for two-three months, very intensively. I was taking notes off its videos, practicing questions, etc. Let me tell you why I think it's the wisest investment:
1. It is very flexible - you can basically study whenever you want, wherever you want; it has a great study planner and progress tracker. Videos are bite sized and each video comes with a great summary slide with a recap of the whole lesson.
2. It focuses on making sure you understand the concept solidly. After each lesson, you take application quiz to test yourself whether you are able to apply concepts to real questions. It advises you to go back and study harder if you don't pass the predetermined benchmark.
3. It has a practice platform called Scholaranium, which has different types of quizzes and tests. It is so customizable as to allow you to pick number of questions, level, topics, etc. And most importantly, it gives you great and logical explanations to each question and answer choices. Another great feature of it is that you can practice OG questions in Scholaranium. OG provides notoriously short official explanations, and Scholaranium fixes it by giving you their experts' explanations to those answer choices. If you are stuck, there is a forum to each question, where you can post your query.

Overall, amazing investment, a very high ROI - Total score of 730 (Q49, V40).

After giving multiple attempts of GMAT and seeing no significant improvement in score, I turned to e-gmat's Verbal Online course as I was performing comparatively poorly in Verbal (V37/Q48). I reached out to e-gmat staff members for help navigating through the vast course material and in turn received prompt support from Dhananjay (DJ). DJ scheduled zoom sessions and walked me through ESR's of my last few attempts, identifying a pattern in the way I have been answering verbal questions and why I failed in my previous attempts. DJ drafted a week's worth of plan of attack which helped me identify my weaknesses via diagnostic tests. This intervention was very helpful as I assumed I was plateauing in GMAT because of multiple unknown issues.

Having tried more than three GMAT prep courses (including e-GMAT), I think I can write an honest review on this one. The course, apart from being structured and projectized, which most are these days is unique and holds a distinctive which almost all the others lack. The versatility and comprehensiveness. Versatile because their pedagogy does not limit itself to a certain cadre of students. It holds the potential to cover a born student to a made one. At the outset their process of deconstructing the sentence, framework driven CR technique and evolved reading mechanism are some things, to name, that helped me reach my dream score of V41. And comprehensive, as , it covers quant with equal excellence as it does verbal. Apart from teaching the right set of questions, they have proven their ingenuity, by providing areas of common pitfalls in not just mainstream DS traps but also in every other sect (of 750 level questions) and PS problems. All this helped me achieve a whopping score of 740.

I would strongly recommend anybody, novice or not, to go for this course.

Although I studied hard for 2 months prior to my first attempt, I didn't receive the score I wanted. I decided on TTP after seeing all of the reviews on Gmatclub and reddit. TTP showed me quickly through their trial period that I had a lot of gaps in my knowledge, and their program was straightforward in building a foundation in Quant. If I had more time, I would have also wanted to try out Verbal, but the Quant section alone took me around 200 hrs. I was not confident in my math skills, but TTP increased my score from a 39 to a 47.

TTP was my one stop shop for all things GMAT. My first score on a practice test was a 460 and with 6 months of TTP I was able to improve to a 730! Highly recommend! TTP's structure lessons and quizzes provide an easy way for you to structure your studying and cover all your bases all things quant. Additionally they track your progress and weak topics so that you can easily identify and improve those areas. Their verbal section was released about 3 months into my studying and i was able to study both quant and verbal in one place. The verbal section helped me significantly improve in CR and SC which were areas i had struggled with the most on my initial practice test

Course Experts' Global Complete GMAT Prep Online

Location Online

It was July 2020 that I decided to prepare for the GMAT. Like many aspirants, I started my preparation by directly answering the questions from OG. More often than not, I was not able to understand the official explanations provided for verbal questions in OG. I was able to solve most of the OG quant questions, but I used to take more than 3 mins even for a medium difficulty question. I realized that I should thoroughly understand the basics before attempting the questions. Without wasting more time, I searched for online prep courses which also include mock tests.

Luckily, In August, I came across the Experts' Global Prep course, which includes 15 mock tests. That was truly the turning point in my GMAT prep. The course is very structural and fully comprehensive. Everything one needs to know to ace the GMAT, from exam structure to exam day tips, is included in this meticulously designed course. Each concept is explained in a very simple and detailed manner. Experts' Global course and official materials were the only resources I used throughout my preparation.

Before I took the Experts' Global course, my first mock score was 630( Q48, V29). It is hard to believe (even for me :p), but in less than two weeks after taking this course, I started scoring around 700. I rarely saw a score less than 700 in any of the mocks I took later. Finally, On the D-day, I scored a 730(Q49, V41).

One of the best things about this course is that there is a video explanation for almost all the questions. Not to forget, It is definitely the most economical course(considering the unparalleled quality) available today.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is preparing for the GMAT.

Hi, I read your review and found it very helpful. I still have one doubt though. How would you rate the verbal section of the course? My current score is usually 650. Quant score is usually 42-44 and Verbal ranges from 31 to 33 to 36 sometimes. I really want to improve my score to 700+ (Q48-50, V 37-39). My SC is fine but RC and CR need more improvement.
