When I first started studying for the GMAT, I noticed a slew of comments say that TTP was far and away the best program to prepare you for the Quant portion of the GMAT. After having completed the program and taken the GMAT, I can say it is worth the hype.
TTP's comprehensive and meticulous study plan takes you through every area of studying for the exam, so that you can feel confident that you will get the score you need to come test day. The amount I learned through the program in such a short amount of time is pretty incredible now that I look back on it. The number of chapters and amount you need to learn to complete the course may be daunting at first, but it is on purpose and to ensure that you know the topics in and out, not just shortcuts that may or may not help come test day.
As far as verbal goes, TTP is just starting to roll out the verbal program, but it looks to have the same quality you expect from the Quant course. Truly really pleased and happy with my choice to study with Target Test Prep and know that it helped me reach my goal of a 700+ GMAT score!
I took egmatcourse in November 2019.
egmat paid special emphasis on my verbal ability, especially sentence correction and critical reasoning questions. they have me an insight into how to actually break down the problem and the importance of eliminating each answer option. further, scholoranium questions really helped me expose my self to trickier, out of the box questions that have really expanded my horizon. Further, it was extremely easy to look at detailed analysis, identify my improvement areas and work on solving problems specific to those areas of development. I also recommended 4 of my friends to subscribe to egmat and they were extremely happy as well.
I took the e-gmat course twice since i was learning slowly.
In my first subscription i opted for Egmat Verbal. The SC portion was really superb. i went to ready each and every element & make a thorough note of the same. The concept quiz & practice quiz really helped solidify my learning. Adding to that the scholarium was as add on.
THe CR portion i found not that great. Frankly speaking, i would prefer CR Bible over Egmat CR, though for beginners the egmat Cr is good.
Quant section: i was already comfortable with this section, so when i received the full egmat subscription as a prize for Game of timers competition of gmat club, i practiced some quant questions as those were also good.
Like most people, I started with Manhattan Prep's "All the Quant" and, quite frankly, it was just not much more than a thorough description of each skill tested. It just did not do much for me and I did not feel confident in any of the quant (nor verbal) sections of the MGMAT tests (I started with 40Q and hovered around that number). I theoretically knew that I needed to "fill in gaps," but I had no idea where I was lacking; honestly, I felt like I needed help in everything.
I've heard enough about TTP and I was sold after the initial week trial. Having prior teaching experience, this is best practice - diagnose your current level of performance, then fill in the gaps. I no longer having access to TTP since my membership expired, but I started really sub-par. If I recall correctly, the program questioned my desire for 49-51Q based on my diagnostic, but I knew what I wanted! TTP does a fantastic job of providing exemplar questions for each question and skill type, content that Manhattan Prep lacked.
TTP is a marathon. I spent between 2-5 hours a day on TTP (I wanted to give up during Number Properties), but it was certainly worthwhile. IMO there aren't quick fixes or shortcuts to the GMAT. Invest the time in a program like TTP and you will definitely see gains - not just in your score, but your confidence.
Thank you, Scott, Jeff and team!
I had initially scored 640 in GMAT after utilizing several top books in the field. Did well in their mock tests too. However on D-day i experienced that the tests are of a totally different league. am not talking about difficulty, but my mind was already set on a different tone. After reading some reviews of Experts global online i bough the complete package online. The way the course work is set out is really amazing and i am sure you would find this the best way to study. The 15 mock tests are perfect and i can vouch for it since its almost exactly like the real one once you have done it. I scored 700 on my next attempt after preparing on experts global for 2 months.

TTP is 110% worth the money. The quant is without question the best option if you're serious about getting a very high score and are willing to put in the time and effort to do it right. The verbal, while not complete yet, looks VERY promising, and taught sentence correction in a way that progressed and felt logical 100% of the way through. I went from getting 8 sentence correction questions wrong on Official practice tests to 1 or 2. Their explanations were much better than the official material which I was using to supplement the TTP Verbal due to the lack of Chapter Tests at the time. The results speak for themselves, I got a 760 (Q48 V47) thanks to the incremental and exhaustive content from TTP.
Be warned, this is not a good option for people with extremely limited time to study or who just want to hammer out a "good enough" score. It is built to take 100+ hours of study to get you into the Q48+ range and doesn't really have a good option to rush if you are just looking to get over a minimum threshold of 650 or something. I spent 4+ hours a day studying with TTP to get my score, don't expect to get similar results in a month without dedicating serious time and effort.

I stumbled upon eGMAT while looking for some strategies from previous test takers to boost your GMAT score. I was overwhelmed by the amazing things eGMAT students had to say about the course and how it helped them structure their GMAT preparation. This really resonated with me since I was struggling with keeping a clear track of my preparation. I decided to attend an eGMAT webinar on pre-thinking for CR and that's when I knew that I was going to enroll into their course.
At first, I bought the Verbal online package and absolutely loved the focus on the basics. It's funny how much you can forget what you've learned in school and that became quite evident when I started the verbal course. What I found to be particularly useful was the blend of concept and strategy that eGMAT offered. I feel that very few, if any, GMAT prep companies offer this and thanks to eGMAT's pedagogy these strategies become second nature.
eGMAT's program definitely requires patience and though there were times I didn't understand why things were explained in such a detailed manner, it was essential to internalize the concepts and strategies.
Lastly, I feel that the eGMAT Quant prep is highly underrated. I never felt challenged by GMAT Quant but never managed to get to a Q50. It was only after going through Quant part of eGMAT that I managed to hit Q50 (despite the online whiteboard) so I definitely recommend not skipping the Quant section unless you are a math genius.
My experience with e-gmat verbal was good. It was very comprehensive.
The videos were really interactive and the practice just after the concept explanation was helpful.
It focused on understanding the meaning rather than look for what was wrong immediately. The process of steps to check what is wrong for sentence correction, was very useful.
It helped for other sections too.
The solution explanations for OG questions was really good and strengthened my understanding.
The scholaranium provided extensive practice and helped in identifying my weak areas so that I could focus on those better.
Overall, it provided good practice and improved my understanding.
TTP helped me improve my GMAT quant score by 7 points from 41 to 48 in a month! I probably would have done even better had it not been for some technical difficulties during my test, for which I lost 4-5 minutes at the beginning. TTP's chapters are super clear and helpful and the chapter tests really allow you to identify your weaker areas. I thought TTP was especially helpful for Number Properties and Absolute Value/Inequalities which I definitely had trouble with at the beginning and are two of the most common topics on the actual test. Definitely worth the money and highly recommended!
Before joining Gmatwhiz, I did prepare for quite some time using various material and after all the effort I got a score of 480 with a Quant 33 and Verbal 23. I was shattered and clueless about what to do. This is when I came across Gmatwhiz’s tutoring services. It was a new company and I had doubted before signing up, because I couldn't check the record of this company, as it was completely new on the market. However, after a demo with Saquib, their Private tutor I signed up for the service, as I felt completely ensured by tutor that he can explain me the concepts and generally the Gmat algorithm.
The structure of the entire program is that they created a schedule for me with homework from their online course and after completing my homework, they deep-dived and analyzed my performance. So, every session I had with them was entirely focused on my weak areas and the right strategies to improve on them. I worked with Saquib for Quant preparation and Sunita for Verbal Preparation. What is more important, I got bonus advice from my mentor all the time, because GMAT is also a psychological test. Since the course content was created by the same people, there was consistency in the methods being taught in the session and the ones used in the course. That helped me a lot in improving my overall score to 640 within couple of months, which helped me secure an admit from Duke, HEC Paris, CEMS, Bocconi and RSM. Hope I had more time to work with them and I could have improved my score further, but all is well that ends well !
I would recommend Gmatwhiz tutoring to every student as the tutors are really dedicated. They know how to simplify things and make it easy for all kind of students. Saquib personally analyzed my performance regularly and was always there when I needed him. I could text him in the middle of my practicing and he would write the steps and send me a picture in a minute. He helped me with the Test taking strategies also. The program is well organized with focus on concepts and the right methods to apply those concepts. They have created a lesson named "concept-booster" that teaches the best methods to solve every gmat styled question and with the help of their innovative platform, my score was correctly estimated !! The practice questions that were given to me were very close to GMAT and I really learned the trick to improve my scores. In fact, the system used to serve me improvement modules with additional lessons if I was weak in some concepts.
I'm so glad to see that the TTP Verbal Course worked so well for you!
