TTP Quant is the most amazing program I've ever come across for preparing for GMAT Quant. It increased my Quant score from a 41 to a 49. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I love the UI/UX design of the website, first of all. It is really easy to navigate. In addition, the lesson plans are really well-designed for students who may not be the best at standardized testing. TTP designed their Quant study plan in a way that forces you to think the way that the GMAC writers think. If you stick to the study plan, your score is guaranteed to improve to your goal.
I’d like to start by thanking my instructor, Deepak Bansal, and E-GMAT for assisting me with achieving my GMAT target score and bringing me one step closer to my dream school.
I joined E-GMAT mentorship program after a long year of studying for the GMAT exam. Initially, I aimed to send my application in 2019, but because I failed to achieve an acceptable GMAT score I pushed my application to 2020. When I started, I was all over the place – I purchased books of 3-4 different companies and mixed them all up. I did not have a firm strategy and my biggest weakness was consistency. After about 8 months of ups and downs, I decided to try enrolling E-GMAT course, which, in a hindsight, was a game-changer for me.
Soon after signing up for the E-GMAT course, I happened to speak with Deepak Bansal, an aspiring instructor of E-GMAT, who analyzed my situation and gave me some insightful advice. I realized how inefficient I was with my study plan. Soon thereafter, along with several students from all over the world, I joined E-GMAT Mentorship programs under Deepak’s supervision.
Even though I’m a young professional who works 5 days a week, Deepak assisted me with committing and studying on a daily basis. Some of my biggest challenges were:
*Consistency – to study on a regular basis without pauses
*Organizing – to have a game plan in terms of what to study every day
*Feedback – to understand what do I do right and what do I have to improve
Deepak assisted me with each of those challenges by providing me with a study plan and a time schedule that fits my lifestyle. This schedule was updated from one week to another based on my achievements.
On test day I felt I was very prepared. I was confident in my skills and I knew I can achieve a high score. Eventually, I successfully scored 710 (Q50 / V46), which is 70 points higher than the first official score I received and more than 100 points higher than the first several mocks I took. This is a huge achievement for me and I feel that Deepak and E-GMAT have a significant role in my journey.
My journey with e-GMAT began in the beginning of March, 2020. After having done extensive research on GMAT Club, I came to the conclusion that 2-3 months of solid prep should be enough for my target score of 750. After giving the first mock test, I realised that I was weak in the verbal section (Especially SC) and needed assistance. I looked over the reviews for online courses on GMAT Club and concluded that e-GMAT would be the perfect fit for me.
For most part of March, I casually solved questions from the OG and went through some of the SC material at e-GMAT. While the material was really good, I was not very confident in my ability to apply the concepts yet. That is when I received a call from Ashutosh at e-GMAT who asked me if I'd be interested in sort of a group mentorship program wherein I'd receive more personal attention. He had gone through one of my mocks and said that by working together we could get my score to reach that 750 mark. I decided to give it a shot and I am glad I did.
For the next 2 months, Ashutosh crafted personalised weekly plans for me and constantly pushed me to achieve those targets. He helped me realise the value of cementing the concepts first rather than aimlessly attempting a large number of questions. My confidence in SC increased considerably as I then began to cement my concepts through the Scholaranium questions on e-GMAT. Scholaranium is a wonderful platform with a wide array of challenging questions and it certainly helped me get a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. In addition to this, the performance of my peers in the mentorship group motivated me to improve further. With the mentorship, I followed a more focused and well crafted path to my target score.
One of the biggest advantages of this program is that your mentor is always there to solve any queries you might have and will give you personalised attention. All my mock attempts were carefully analysed and I was suggested areas where there was scope for improvement. My performance in the mocks improved and I became increasingly confident heading in to the test. I took 8 mocks and the scores read : 710,730,770,770 (Sigma-X), 730 and 760 (GMAT Prep), 710 (MGMAT) and 730 (Kaplan).
On the D-Day, I was certainly more relaxed than I had expected to be. Since Quant was my strong suit, I attempted that first. Things went fine till I encountered the first few questions on the verbal section. Not being able to solve the first 3-4 questions, I flustered and ended up wasting time unnecessarily. Luckily, this panic mode did not last long and I was able to get myself back on track. Following the time management techniques recommended to me by e-GMAT helped me a lot. As I finished my test, I was incredibly satisfied to see myself achieve my target score of 750. Yes, I was perhaps a tad disappointed I didn't get a V40+ but achieving the 750 mark was the aim all along and I had pulled it off. All that hard work had paid off.
All in all, I benefited greatly from e-GMAT and its mentorship program. I would certainly recommend e-GMAT to anyone who is serious about cracking the GMAT.
Good luck to everyone reading this and I hope you all achieve your goals!
Bit of a background of my GMAT attempts-
Attempt 1: Jul 2018- 680 (Q49, V33)
Attempt 2: Jun 2020- 680 (Q49, V32)
Attempt 3: Jul 2020- 740 (Q49, V42)
Yes, I did score the same even after 2 years. More of it in the sections below
For my second (and third) attempt I started my GMAT prep in Feb’20 and I was sold on to go with e-GMAT on the basis of sheer number of positive reviews that it has from non-native English speakers. I referred to only e-GMAT material and Official Guides for my preparation.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that e-GMAT provides a custom generated study plan for you. This became the corner stone of my preparation. In absence of a proper plan, I would end up spending hours without realising if I am going in the right direction. Although this worked for me for almost a month, I slipped on the preparation due to an official commitment which lasted for more than 2 weeks. I had lost my steam and was finding it difficult to focus my energy on GMAT prep.
Right when I needed it the most, in Apr’20 week 1, I was sent an exclusive invite to the e-GMAT Mentorship Program. It was a pilot that e-GMAT was doing with select students, based on its interactions with them on various query forums. It happened to be free for us. Only thing asked of us was honest feedback for the program, and we were offered- 1:1 Consultations with a dedicated mentor, custom milestone-driven study schedule, weekly feedbacks and course correction, strategy sessions, and admission consultation. Although I have not experienced admission consulting part fully, I can surely say that this program is all one needs to prepare for GMAT. This program hits the sweet spot between online preparation and 1:1 teaching, and delivers way beyond what one would expect.
I will cover my experience with e-GMAT Mentorship Program as a lot of reviews have already covered the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of e-GMAT curriculum, and I completely agree with them. Some details on the various offerings of the Mentorship Program -
1. 1:1 Consultations with a dedicated mentor- The program starts with a kick-off discussion with assigned mentor to understand the student's background, needs and aspirations. E-GMAT or Official Mock Test are recommended to understand areas requiring focus.
For me, Dhananjay (DJ) was my mentor, and I would say that I was lucky to have him as my mentor. He could really understand my issues well and guide me each and every time.
2. Weekly Study Plans- While an algorithm-generated study plan is a basic feature of e-GMAT, the Weekly Study Plans are actually made by an experienced mentor to suit your requirements. These have details of what you need to do on each day of the week. The plan would include minutest of details such as doing specific sections of the e-GMAT curriculum, taking mocks, debriefing mocks or even reading articles from specific sources.
3. Weekly feedback and course correction: Mentor takes weekly calls with the student to understand the progress made during the week, personally guide on any issues that the student faced during the week, identify any red flags in the preparation, and plan the further course of action.
While it may seem as a very basic exercise from what I have explained, believe me, the mentor goes extra mile to make sure that you are on track and motivated all along the journey. In my case, DJ reviewed my progress, at times more than once a week, and provide very detailed feedback that I would have never been able to make out on my own. He reviewed my performance on mocks, conducted detailed debriefs to understand the exact problem areas, and even guided me in understanding newspaper articles to strengthen my RC ability.
4. Strategy Sessions- As a part of the e-GMAT Mentorship Program, you are part of a 10-15 student cohort under a dedicated mentor. Topics like time management, success stories of ex-students, stress management, online GMAT features, etc. are covered by the mentor in the Strategy Sessions. These sessions are undertaken at a frequency of 1-2 per month.
5. Admissions Consultation- I had limited experience on this front as I chose to get done with my GMAT prep first. Basically, e-GMAT connects you to a pool of select consultants to kick-start your discussions on applications.
Coming to my performance on D-day(s) -
A week before my GMAT exam in June, I was consistently scoring 720-740 on all mocks- OG, e-GMAT and GC. However, I got a shocker when I scored 680 after 4 months of preparation and after getting all the personal guidance. I was in a kind of an emotional shock and lost hope on taking GMAT again.
It was this moment when I realised how much a mentor can help you get back and prepare to face the exam again. DJ was instrumental in pushing me to retake the GMAT within 15 days and in guiding me even more aggressively, almost on a daily basis. He analysed my ESR and identified clear areas of concern and how to address each one of them. The kind of feedback I got within 6 hours of receiving my ESR was phenomenal. We identified that I had spent disproportionate amount of time on first 15 questions in Verbal and that I needed to strengthen my CR ability. I guess, I would have been lost if I were left on my own after scoring a 680.
In my next attempt in July’20, I was more confident and had a clear strategy defined on how to approach the test. I could clearly see the difference this mentorship program made and helped me achieve 740 on GMAT.
I was recommended Experts' Global by a friend who'd done pretty well on the GMAT himself. I was a little apprehensive because unlike most other test packs, this wasn't as expensive. I took the free mock and was instantly impressed. I signed up for the 15 full-length tests and I am very satisfied with the test prep. I found the Quant to be slightly harder than other test preps, but that helped me do the quant section well on the GMAT. Particularly liked the text and video explanations for each question. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking to practice mocks for GMAT. Practising mock tests from Experts' Global is a great way to supplement your GMAT prep.
I took Expert Global's test series. It was indeed very helpful. The test pattern and scoring was very accurate in comparison to the original exam. My score in the test series and the main exam had only a 10 marks difference. The SC Concept book and the GMAT shots videos also proved to be very helpful. My score increased from 620 to 700. The test series was pretty affordable, and the test experience was very close to actual GMAT. The best part was that I could also evaluate my AWA section, and that helped a lot. Amazing experience. Keep up the good work.
I am an international (eastern European) student and I've used TTP for the entirety of my GMAT prep (3 months from 620 practice to 760 official). I can tell you that this quantum leap would not be possible without TTP.
The greatest thing about TTP is how it makes studying for GMAT enjoyable. Going through the study plan that the program offers you feel the need to break you accuracy scores, to learn a new trick or method and to work through every difficulty offered. Nothing is more gratifying than hitting your target during studying and TTP makes sure to notice that and motivate you further.
While the Quant course is entirely complete and perfect, the Verbal has been introduced recently and is still under development. Nevertheless the CR part is very comprehensive and the SC is just enough for a non-native to get the grasp of the GMAT issues. The only thing lacking from verbal at the moment is the vast amount of practice questions that are there for Quant.
All in all - TTP is an amazing course, which will change you from a GMAT n00b into a GMAT Rock Star and as soon as you start using it, you'll know why.
Highly recommend!

Verified GMAT Classic score:
720 Q49 V40 (Online)
Target Test Prep was an incredibly valuable tool in my preparation for the GMAT. The way the topics were broken down lesson by lesson was very helpful to learn material and the quizzes reinforced them. The course takes dedication to go through lessons and quizzes with proper review. I estimate it took me about 2.5-3 months to complete the Quant portion of the course. My studying consisted of 1-3 hours per day during the week and about 4 hours per day on weekends. Ultimately, I was very pleased to score a Q49 on the online GMAT (no whiteboard) and feel Target Test Prep alone helped get me there. This course is helpful for anyone from beginner to advanced and can really help fine tune your skills.
I can credit TTP with boosting my score within a month of regular prep, from a Q44 to a Q49. The chapter breakdown was instrumental as a first step in gauging the quant "syllabus" (if you can call it that). The easy, medium and hard quizzes and targeted accuracy levels are designed such that you can hone in on the areas you need to focus on. I did not see a need for any other prep other than the chapters and the quiz sections. Did not get a chance to check out the new Verbal section, but if the Quant is anything to go by, I am sure it will be worth the investment!
I was refreed to egmat by a friend. At first i was apprehensive of taking an online course, so i tried the trial version of the course. I liked the trial version and so i went for Egmat Verbal course. I would say Egmat Verbal course helped me in clearing my basics well. Specially i would recommend the Sentence correction approach that Egmat teaches for anyone who has just started with GMAT or for anyone who wants to clear his or her basics. I stated with egmat while taking my first gmat attempt. Its Pre-thinking approach in Critical Reasoning gives the gmat warrior an approach how to go about the CR questions. This course has helped me in breaking the 700 mark.
Hello! Please can you tell me how can I join the e-gmat mentorship program? I am looking for it but it is not in their website!
Thanks!
