I went through the whole Quant course - and yes, it can sometimes be overwhelming - but when I concluded the course I knew I had all the foundations needed to get a good Quant score. After concluding the course, during my last 3 weeks of preparation I kept studying timing strategies by practicing oficial questions until I was confident to hit my target score, and I was able to see my Quant score goes up every mock. So by the day of my oficial GMAT I was felling confident that would reach at least a Q48 and I did it! I appreciate Target good job and I believe their phases style course is just what you need for Quant.

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

I tried E-Gmat Verbal for few months(signed up in July 2019) and I found it be very lacking regards to the content. Also I feel their questions in the Scholaranium to be harder than usual. Overall, I found it very hard to finish their course and I felt that their layout of content to be a bit lacking. My verbal score did not increase even a bit after spending few months with E-gmat Verbal. I feel they do a lot of marketing for their course to gain people but wish they would put more effort towards the course. I also got a lot of their promotional emails which can get quite annoying and had to unsubscribe eventually. Their money back guarantee is also bogus I feel.

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

Hi, my name is Gary. I am 25 years old and I have 3 years working experience in a retail company in Indonesia as a Business Analyst. First time I studied GMAT was in September 2019. I studied hard by myself through free resources for 4 months until I took my first GMAT test in December 2019, scoring 550 (Q42,V24). This score was not enough for me to apply to any business schools I want. After that, I studied for TOEFL and got a good score in January 2020. In February 2020, I decided to deal with GMAT again but with a different strategy. I searched for the best online preparation platform in the internet and I chose e-gmat and here was the beginning of my journey.

The most astonishing part of e-gmat platform was the step-by-step approach strategy to finish a question. I realized that the failure of my previous test was due to lack of strategical approach to answer the questions. I only used brute force and pure logical thinking to answer each question. GMAT will give you a hard time if you just using pure logic to answer the questions. Yes it is true that what is tested in GMAT is our logic, but with a right method, we can answer many more questions with much higher accuracy. The strategies taught by e-gmat was easy to understand and applicable in each question, and was served in an interactive videos. We just need to simply follow the sequences given my e-gmat. The team has already designed the courses in the best way a student can learn.

Another highlight features of e-gmat was the Scholaranium, Mock Test, and Course Correction. The Scholaranium helps the students to cement the methods learned, thus we can practice our newly learned process in this bank of questions. We can track our progress, determine our strong and weak areas, and review each questions with complete explanations. After we finish practicing in Scholaranium, we can move to Mock Test, a simulation of the real GMAT Test. In this part, we can get the summary of our performances, which is very important for our evaluation and track record to reach the target score. Lastly, the free course correction by Mr. Deepak was so beneficial for me. He helped me to analyze my Mock Test, determined my weak areas, and gave me the solutions step by step for me to follow.

Actually I want to take GMAT test in late April, but because of Covid-19 situation, I took GMAT on June. I could not take Online GMAT because of technical issues (failed twice). After several months grinding, I finally took my GMAT Test on 10th June 2020 and guess what? I got 660 (Q48, V34)!!!

My weak area is surely Verbal part, and I spend a lot of time refining my Verbal skills in e-gmat. Surely e-gmat has a very great verbal section so that I can improve from V24 to V34. Finally, I want to give my biggest thanks for Mr. Deepak and the rest of e-gmat team because finally I reach my target score.
Good luck to all of you for the GMAT Test!

Overall I found my e-gmat experience really rewarding as I was able to improve my verbal score from V33 to V41 by following their structured approach to each question type on verbal section.
I feel to score good on GMAT, two things are really important – one is to have good fundamental understanding of the concepts and the other is to follow the correct approach. This course is structured in a way which will help you in getting good at both of these aspects. Their focus on approach and fundamentals in every single lesson will help you ingrain it in your mind.
Personally for me the SC was something which I wanted to improve upon as my current approach of splitting options into groups of 2/3 was not panning out. Therefore, I tried out their 3 step approach for SC questions. At the start, it was really difficult to follow this approach. But if you give yourself time, it can do wonders like it did for me and many others.
e-gmat helped me overachieve my target score of 730-740 and get admits from multiple schools. I would 100% recommend this course to everyone who want to improve their verbal score, enabling them to get closer to their MBA dream.

Target Test Prep - Worth It

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

Location Online

Target Test Prep has a great structured comprehensive self-guided study program. The lessons and interface are great and make the user experience pleasant. Expect to spend ~3 solid months on TTP if you're doing a comprehensive review. I was consistently scoring 720-750 in the practice test phase. TTP helped me break 700+ on the official exam.

Quant
TTP is the way to go here for sure. Early on I naively thought I could handle quant because it's all high school math, right? I soon realized GMAT quant is a different beast. Being good at math can help you pick things up quicker, but it won't be a breeze until you become familiar with GMAT questions. TTP dives into each topic and has lesson questions and chapter tests to reinforce the skills. I think most people will consistently score Q47+ after going through TTP.

Verbal
While TTP is still in beta and tests aren't fully built out yet, it's still very good. Like other programs, TTP concisely explains why each answer choice is wrong and why the correct answer is correct. TTP CR demonstrates and categorizes what typical correct and incorrect choices and trap answers look like. Learning how to identify and categorize answer choices helped me save time by teaching me how to quickly recognize and knock out incorrect/trap choices while at the same time perform logical reasoning to narrow down the final choices. I supplemented with OG verbal questions. Once TTP verbal is complete, I think TTP will hands down be the best comprehensive GMAT program.

The target test prep has been very useful in my preparation. It was condensed and organized that I could finish each module with relative ease. It was also really deep in terms of depth. Lots of information. One thing I wish the Target Test Prep would have is that it should have a discussion or comments section for each page or each module. Additionally, now that it has a verbal section, this program has been even more useful than before. The verbal questions are not the most ideal. Think it's a bit subjective. However it is still a good resource.

Hi all,
Hope your preparations are going well!

I'll just get straight to the points about how e-GMAT helped me
1. The only problem I had was with verbal. I knew the basics of the language but didn't know the exact rules. Doing this course helped fill those knowledge gaps and make a foundation to work upon. This was important when I was down to 2-3 choices and I needed a concrete rule to decide the answer
2. For practice, I used to take pictures of the summary slides and the practice problem that I got wrong. I used to go through these pictures anytime I was free. While revising I used the remember where I went wrong. Since I have the habit of forgetting small rules and points, this practice style helped a lot.
3. Scholaranium really helped to gauge my levels of understanding of different sections. The easy/medium/hard selection for "cementing quiz" is a great way to do this.


4. Having a strong quant background, I didn't use the quant section, so I can't say anything about that. But judging from how well they've made the verbal section, I'd bet the quant section is awesome as well.
5. This might be irrelevant now given that GMAT online has allowed scratchpad - if you plan on using the whiteboard feature, I would advise practicing for at least a week. You can also use the whiteboard to cover the answers before you're done with your pre-thinking (e-GMAT).
6. GMAT online is not as scary as some people think. It went very smoothly. The comfort of the home gives an edge to the test taker. Be prepared for some glitches(in my case the exam window closed for 2-3 minutes before coming back on. NO, O DIDN'T LOSE ANY TIME. IT WAS RESUMED ON THE POINT THE WINDOW GOT CLOSED).
7. I wasn't able to take mock tests after completing the course due to time constraints (i finished my course 4 days before the exam. I used cementing quizzes to target my areas of weakness.) But I did use them 2 times before the course and they are pretty accurate. The analytics also help to understand where exactly is your weakness.

General advice-
a. try to complete the course learning at least 2 weeks before your test date. Give yourself 1 week to work on cementing quizzes then another week for the mocks.
b. BE CONSISTENT. e-GMAT provides a perfect tool for creating a plan for your target score. STICK TO THAT PLAN. If you are ahead of schedule go ahead and do some extra work. Better to have some extra time in the end. Keep in mind that while making the plan exclude the 2 weeks mentioned in the last point for self-testing.

Finally, I would say that GMAT is hard when you don't approach it with a proper strategy. With proper knowledge and practice, good scores are easily achievable.

Good luck with your upcoming exams!
I hope you all achieve high scores!!

TTP is a great resource for quant. I started around 37 in Q and scored 48 on the official test. If you complete the entire TTP program, it is pretty much a guarantee of getting 48+. The whole course does take awhile. I felt like I had a stronger understanding so I did not complete all of the module tests, but for some sections like Number Properties, I appreciated the numerous tests. The team at TTP is also very nice and helpful. My plan was expiring a few days before my exam and I asked them for a few days extension. They were more than happy to do that and did that in a very short time period. They are always available to chat if you have any logistical or content related questions.
