Target Test Prep is really amazing. It helped me to learn quant, getting quant 50 after going through the program. The systematic way of learning and reviewing quant is really efficient. They are also adding verbal review contents, so hopefully one day it will cover all areas of GMAT.
Target Test Prep is amazing!

P.S. Why do we need 100 words review? Stop wasting your time reading long reviews and GO STUDY!

I flunked my sentence correction in my first attempt. I got a score of 700. QA was disappointing (49) and VA was even more disappointing (35). My ESS told me that I had a percentile of 33 on SC. CR was 97 and RC was 80. I knew I had to prepare for SC anyhow

I took up Gmatwhiz SC course. It starts from the fundamentals. I actually really enjoyed studying. I forgot my score, I was actually really eager to improve my written English. The videos are awesome. The practice questions are to the point and test your concepts. The feedback are areas of improvement are clearly highlighted.

I made a point to watch the videos several times. especially one day before the exam. This time around I gave the online version and got a score of 740. Unexpectedly, I flunked QA again (49) but VA (42) saved me. I have a decent score now.

I now realise I should have taken up a course atleast for SC right from the start.

Special thanks to Piyush, who explained me how to use the material. Plus was available to clear doubts even when he wasn't supposed to

I was introduced to DJ 3-4 months before I gave my GMAT. He has constantly supported, motivated, and guided me through this journey.
DJ helped me pinpoint my weaker areas, formulate strategies to overcome the same and face my fears head-on(quant lol)

Thanks to the plans set by DJ, I gave ample mocks and quizzes to feel confident on my test day. There were strict timelines set by him and he motivated us to follow through.

Even though in my first attempt I have scored a 690, I am confident with DJs help I would be able to improve on this further.

With DJ and my cohorts support, I felt not so alone on this journey. Kudos to egmat for this initiative and to DJ for being a great mentor!

I began my GMAT journey at the beginning of the New Year and was recommended by a friend to use Target Test Prep (TTP) as a guide. The TTP Curriculum was thorough and gave me great insight into the different types of questions that would be asked on the exam. When I was first introduced to the course, only a guide for the Quantitative Section was available. After completing the guide for quant, I was consistently scoring at least a Q49 on Official Practice Exams. My struggles came on the Exam’s Verbal Section. Shortly after my first few practice exams, TTP released its Verbal Course and I saw an instant score improvement. My verbal score quickly jumped from low 30s to low 40s. After 2 in person test cancellations due to COVID-19 and a technical error on my first online exam, I was finally able to complete my first GMAT Exam, scoring a 730 (Q49/V41).

Overall the premium covered everything that was on the GMAT, It didn't go in depth on the subjects but was a good way to restudy the material. It a great place to start if you're studying for the GMAT after graduating college. If they were to go in-depth on some of the subjects it would be perfect.
Their customer service is great. They quickly reached out to you if you have any problem and they also give two weeks of test trial.
Overall it helped me start from a 610 and know what I need to study for the future exam.

I can remember the exact moment that I had discovered Target Test Prep. I had been using the Economist GMAT course for about a month (primarily for quant, because my verbal was decent) and I had taken a practice test and actually scored lower than my diagnostic. I am not one to panic, but I was truly at stress level 1000. I was learning some tricks and overall strategies, but really felt like I was not getting a deep mastery of the content and also thought that I would never truly understand the GMAT material.

In a panic induced set of google searches, I stumbled upon a Reddit forum where people had been praising Target Test Prep. I started a trial and even reached out to the team at TTP asking if it was even possible for me to get to 700+ with a baseline of 27. They were very reassuring that if I just took the time and went through the course, that I would be fine. I really needed that confidence boost to know I wasn't about give up my entire life for an endeavor that was in vain. I trusted them and put in the work. I don't know that I've ever had to work at something so hard in my life. It took me significantly longer than the "3 months" that you see people post about.

I had read so many times that what makes the GMAT so difficult is that you can't really study for it. That is nothing farther from the truth. It is just incredibly difficult to study for it. However if you put in the work, you can certainly do it. Additionally, even though I only maxed out at a 45 in the official test, I was scoring 49's pretty consistently on the practice tests and I think anxiety just got the better of me. And when I would review my missed questions, I would always know how to solve them. I think if I would have had time to take the test a couple more times, I would have easily gotten a 49 or 50+.

Long story short: just start with Target Test Prep and save yourself the trouble of using anyone else. It's not a short cut, but it is a key to acing the GMAT. Overall a 230 point improvement from where I started (including verbal).

Their verbal course is a good one if you are a non native speaker. In depth solution is given as well. The material for verbal is great, especially SC. It covers all you need in a detailed manner. And the pre-thinking approach in CR was also highly helpful. They take quizzes before and after each topics. That is very helpful as well during your preparation.

Scholaranium helps you to practice different difficulty level questions. Quant seems okay but go for verbal for sure.

They also conduct webinars, which are very very helpful. One should attend the webinars to get the improvement in scores.

I took GMAT 6 times and improved my score my 650 to 730. All this with the help of this course. Initially I started with top rated on-demand courses and felt confident before exam only to get disappointed later. After failures for 4 times, I took this course and scored 690 and then 730.

On-demand courses won't focus on dept. Their rules are simple and won't cover all exceptions. GMAT is a test of exceptions and eliminations.

I learned these things from this course and especially with their 15 tests. Normally we take tests, review the incorrectly answered questions and that's. Noobs in GMAT would pick the correct answer. Experts eliminate the wrong answers. These tests get 2 mins video solutions for every question by their experts so that you mimick their testing strategy.

This is the best course for non-native English guys especially Indians.

I started my GMAT journey late January so I had four months to study before my first exam on May 18. On the test date, I went there just to find out that the test center was closed (even though I was receiving all confirmation emails normally), so I rescheduled the test for 2 days later in another location (6 hours away from the city I live in). I took the test and got a 700 (35V, 49Q).

In these first 4 months I studied mainly with MPrep theory for verbal and quant and question bank from OG. My OG mocks were around 710-730 so I expected something closer to 710-720. And after the test, I felt that I had exhausted my study materials and even though I wanted to retake the exam, I didn't know where to begin or where to focus.

So, in early June I contacted eGmat, since I knew my biggest weakness was Verbal. We discussed my test performance (with the ESR) and I went through all the theory through their platform, but now what really changed was not the concepts per se, but how to apply their method (pre-think, don`t skim, etc...) and stick to it. A month later, I took a new mock and got a 750, which got me very excited.

That's when I contacted their Support to make sure I was ready to reschedule the test. In the following 15 days, Ashutosh worked closely with me, providing me guidance on where to focus and reviewing my progress every two days. My main weakness by then was CR, that I needed an extra focus to make sure I was going to excel in the test day. A week before the test I took another mock, which I scored 740. This made me feel confident that was really ready.

I took the test again July 18 and got a 730 (39V, 50Q) and felt so relieved! Now I`m working on the app process.

I can confidently say that eGmat was an exceptional part of my study improvement for two main reasons: (1) the mocks are HARD, but somewhat similar to test day, (2) they go deep into sticking to the method and that was a key differential + their quizzes are great for further practice (specially medium and hard questions, that are tough to find).

The handholding aspect is a must have if you like to study alone, but want some guidance during the process. I really appreciated Ashutosh support and feedback during the process. It gave me an extra energy to keep studying specially during the final days before the test.

I used Target Test Prep as my primary resource to study for the quantitive section of the GMAT and found it extremely useful.

Prior to TTP I was struggling to structure and pace my GMAT studying. After reading the reviews for TTP I tried it and have no regrets. The course is intuitive and offers a wealth of realistic practice problems to learn and review the concepts from the lessons. Some of the questions can be repetitive (especially in the later, more difficult tests), but they do a good job of reinforcing the concepts that the lessons highlight.

I did not use TTP for verbal so I cannot comment on that portion of the course.
