Improved from 620 to 650.
Mike and Cris are experts at what they do. They train you to tackle each and every pattern on the GMAT.
Quant : Questions were great . Explanations made sense and were crisp
Verbal : completed the tutorial in 5 days. That's amazing. It's comprehensive. The way Mike teaches sentence correction is perhaps the best I have seen 🐱
Best thing each and every question has an expert dictating to you his/her view and approach of solving a question.
Customer support: within 10 minutes all your queries are answered. They provide you with links to enhance your knowledge and clear all your doubts no matter how many how times you ask them.
I would recommend the product to anybody , who is trying to improve their score at a faster pace.
Best wishes 🙂

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I had done enough research to realize that for a non-native English speaker, e-GMAT was the best choice, so went ahead with the same. Fair to say, I was not disappointed.
SC: This is e-GMAT 's USP IMO. The depth and width of concepts that they cover is amazing, and I got clarity in the SC concepts. But on the higher difficulty level questions, this would have eliminated only 3 options. This is where the meaning based approach helped me. Always gauge the sentence by the meaning / logic it wants to convey, and then look for the grammatical errors in the sentence. This will reap dividends.
CR: I definitely benefitted from e-GMAT 's 3 stage approach. Identifying premises and attacking the conclusion keeping premises in mind by pre-thinking helped a lot.
RC: Full marks to e-GMAT in simplifying RC concepts. IMO, RC is just about practice. The answers are already with you in form of the passage. You have to be focused to be attentive, and be present throughout the passage. e-GMAT has good practice passages on RC
I found e-GMAT 's Scholaranium tool to be really valuable as well. It covers a good mix of easy to difficult questions, and allows you to test your skills accordingly. It helped me track my performance as well and gave me confidence that I was progressing in the right direction.
Special callout for Nava from e-GMAT when I reached out to them seeking help post my two failures in 2020. The level of detailed ESR analysis and recommendations provided by him was commendable.

720 Q49 V40 (Online)
I scored 660 on my 1st attempt after preparing religiously for around 4 months.
I scored very less on Verbal so I knew I had to change my strategy for Verbal. After reading reviews about EGMAT course, I decided to go with it.
I started my course in Jan but till April I only completed the SC module but then I was approached by egmat for its Mentorship
Program and that was a game changer.
I worked with Deepak and he did set daily tasks for me to complete. This strategy actually did wonders for me as now I was not alone in the journey and I was able to complete the course in next 3 months.
Deepak not only helped me to complete the course on time but also guided me how to approach the next stage that is mocks.
While I was giving mocks, Deepak not only told me my weak areas but also taught me a lot of tricks for the exam for example - how much time should I give for a question and what is the right time to skip a question and concentrate on the next,
which is very important to score good on the exam.
All in all I am thankful to EGMAT for its amazing modules and Scholaranium but I am more thankful to deepak for keeping a check on me, like a elder brother, motivating me, setting me on the right path and what not.
I can say I could have scored 720 without EGMAT because I can get the similar course somewhere else but without Deepak I could not have accomplished 720.
Thank you so much Deepak for your help.
Quants:
The videos include all the topics required to take the gmat effectively. The list of practice questions is also extensive and should suffice to score a q48 and above. one must go through the video solution of the problems which were difficult to solve.
Verbal;
SC is very well explained , the problem set in sc is also a great resource to understand the concept and build speed. Again go through the video solutions if you find any problem difficult.
CR and RC are above average. Not the best but are enough to build strong conceptual foundation .
The CAT provided with the premium service is not upto the mark and i would highly recommend to get a third party CAT series for testing and tracking your progress.
All said , Magoosh is a great tool to build a solid foundation and score a 620 on the gmat fairly easily .
I took the GMAT for the first time after doing a live online course and scored 680. As an engineer I thought I could do a lot better on Quant, so I did some focused studying for a month and got the exact same score (Q42).
At the suggestion of a co-worker, I decided to try out Target Test Prep and diligently worked through each of the chapters. It absolutely helped me rebase my Quant skills. As an engineer I was skipping a lot of the basics and falling for trap answers or rushing through problems I thought were simple. After TTP, I had a rock solid Quant foundation. I sat for the GMAT a 3rd and final time and scored a 740! Increasing my score from Q42 to Q49!
After underachieving on the quantitative section of the GMAT a few times, I turned to TTP for a fresh look at how to approach studying the material. What I learned after purchasing the product and using it for only a day or two, was that there is a better way to think about studying for the GMAT quant section. The lessons are explicit, insightful, and incredibly thorough. The number of quizzes and tests along the way as you progress through the content is substantial, yet if you are serious about succeeding, exceedingly worth the time and effort. I loved the explanations provided for wrong answers and, as a competitive person, I liked how you could compare your progression to all others who are using the course. It provided constant motivation throughout my studying journey. No detail is overlooked in the TTP module. My recommendation to anyone who utilizes the product: follow all of the instruction. They know what they're talking about. There may be times along the way where you're tempted to skip quizzes or lessons because you're feeling worn down. Don't do it. You don't want to put in all that work and then sell yourself short. The analytics provide excellent summarized feedback to help target your efforts along the way.

730 Q49 V40 (Online)
I gave the GMAT Online exam on August 14th,2020 after a month of intense preparation and got a score of 730(Q49,V40,IR7). This was my first attempt of the GMAT exam.
While browsing online during the start of GMAT prep days, I saw that there was a free seminar on CR hosted by e-GMAT and signed up for it to compare my ability with others. I found the seminar very useful and signed up for the e GMAT online - Verbal and Quant package.
I used the e-GMAT study planner to create a 3 and a half week 11 hr a day study plan.
Math and quant came easy to me so the course was used to gain a faster/better way of solving certain problems rather than working on fundamentals. But for people that find Math hard use the course diligently.
The verbal is the section that e-GMAT really excels at. The course helps build the fundamentals, provide a way to look at SC, RC and CR with logic and meaning. The support team was really helpful with clarifying any questions or doubts I had.
I would recommend e-GMAT's verbal package for everyone trying to improve their understanding of the verbal section.
If the platform is used properly it will definitely help in boosting your score.
Trust the process and study for GMAT with the intention of trying to use the learnings at your work rather than just from an exam point of view.
I highly recommend TTP. The chapters were easy to study through and the practice questions got progressively harder. I was very impressed with my results. I was testing 640 on official practice test when I started studying, and ended up with a 730 on the official exam once I completed 2 months of studying with TTP. I studied for a month in March 2020 and then fell off because of covid, and then picked it back up for 1 month in September, so really only 1 month of recent studying. The value and results were more than I could have imagined. Thank you to Scott and the whole team at TTP!
Target Test Prep was exactly what I needed to get my GMAT score to the right place. The quant section is extremely thorough and has a ton of tips and methods for how to solve each possible type of question. The practice problems throughout and the practice tests of sample easy medium and hard really test your understanding of the types of questions that you will find on the actual test. Every few sections there is a practice review test that helps keep you honest to date on how much you are actually retaining. Additionally, you can adjust the goals based on how well you want to score and your timeline. The verbal section is still in Beta phase, but even in its current state it helped me score extremely well on verbal. Overall, the course helped me focus with a well thought out plan, a ton of practice problems, and learning methods that force you to learn the material, rather just zoning out on a video. I can't recommend Target Test Prep enough.

Course Manhattan Prep Live Online
Instructor Sage Pearce-Higgins
Location Online
Manhattan Prep has a great set of workbooks to study from compared to the Kaplan books I was originally studying from. Although, the only thing I did not like was Manhattan Prep's quiz banks, of which had no explanations on individual problems along and the same goes for their practice tests. I took the 9-week Online Prep Course with Sage Pearce-Higgins. Sage is so passionate about the subjects he teaches. It is so easy to get excited with him about the topics he covers. Sage structures his lessons around real world examples and keeps the class easy to follow along. Sage is also extremely helpful; he wants to be sure every person in his class succeeds and you can see that from day 1. Sage has been one of, if not, the most helpful instructor I have ever had. If you have the chance to have Sage as your instructor DO NOT PASS IT UP.
