I began my test preparation with a diagnostic test. Despite a full-time career in a quantitative role, I quickly realized regression analysis and microsoft excel shortcuts don't translate 1:1 to a quality quant score, and quant was revealed as my greatest weakness. After reading through some of the glowing reviews on here, I decided to give the free trial of TTP a try. Early on I liked the format. The structure of really learning the concepts tested on the GMAT through lecture and then repetitive practice really resonated with me. Additionally, as someone with better short-term memory than long-term, by bringing back old concepts each chapter with the review test, everything was kept fresh in my mind. I ended up scoring a 49 in quant, and I owe it all to TTP. If you are struggling with quant, give the free trial a go at least to see if the format gels as well with you as it did with me. Good luck!

Took me from 35Q to 50Q (mock exam) and 48Q (actual exam) . The course does take a long time. I would say it took me ~300 hours from start to finish (including all lessons and quizzes). However, going through the entire course gives you all the tools you need to answer every quant question that might be thrown at you. The lessons are extremely detailed but easy to understand and the quizzes build on and reinforce your understanding from previous sections.

My only criticism is that the hardest problems in TTP are not really representative of the hardest problems in OG or the actual exam, but getting 700-800 questions correct is equal parts knowledge, skill, and luck.

My GMAT journey started with a 490 on my first Manhattan Prep CAT. I had no clue what I was doing and only got 2/3 of my way through the quant section. One of my friends recommended I look into Target Test Prep (TTP as it is now part of my everyday vocabulary). After using the TTP curriculum I was able to almost double my quant score to the 47-49 range. Despite making the jump in quant, my verbal score lagged behind severely. On my first GMAT attempt I scored a 680 (47/35). A month after my 680, TTP released its Verbal curriculum, and I was able to boost my verbal score from a 35 to a 42! I finished my second official GMAT attempt with a 740 (49/42). I put a lot of time and hard work into my studies but there was comfort in knowing TTP was a program I could trust to make all my work worth while.

I first started my 7-day trial with TTP as I wanted to see whether this program would suit me before signing up for the subscription. After the trial week I immediately paid to continue using the program. I loved TTP for its neat, easy-to-use interface and its quant content. The curriculum by TTP is incredibly thorough and comprehensive; it is broken down into each chapter such as linear equation, general word problems etc. At the end of each chapter there are chapter tests at easy level, medium level and hard level so that you can apply what you have learned. I only did medium and hard level questions in my practice and I covered almost all of them. Doing tons of questions focused on a topic helps to drill concepts into one’s head. In addition, there are solutions to each of these questions so that for every question you get wrong you can read the solution immediately after (or at your own pace) and learn from your mistake. What I also like about TTP is that you are able to tick a box at the end of each wrong question to categorise your error, whether it is because you made a careless mistake, you guessed the answer or you didn’t fully understand the concept, so that you can look at the analytics section and see what your problems are. You are also able to create a customed test, picking the topic you’d like to appear in your test (ie number properties, geometry) and the level of difficulty of questions. I usually created a customed test of 31 questions to mimic the GMAT exam.

I used a combination of TTP and GMAT Quant club test in my quant preparation and I HIGHLY recommend TTP to anyone studying for the GMAT.

Overall, the course is structured in a very well defined manner and it is suitable for a beginner who is just starting to prepare for GMAT. My favourite part is that it teaches you in a very structure manner with examples and quizzes in between which help in applying the concepts learnt.
With job, it becomes really difficult to focus and read GMAT books, so the EGMAT course with its concise and structured helped me understand every concept in a detailed way. I also retook the course again just to revise and to make sure I don't forget the concepts. Making short notes of the subject may also help specially for students who are looking for verbal improvement.

Prior to taking the GMAT I had studied for and taken the LSAT, so my verbal abilities were already pretty decent. I searched for a while around the internet before settling on TTP to hone my quantitative skills. I could not be happier with the course. No matter what your previous experience is, TTP will provide sufficient lessons and practice problems to help you achieve your goal score. Like most things worthwhile, it is not going to be easy. However, the organization and depth of the course will keep you engaged and allow you to become extremely prepared for the test. I also really liked how accessible the founders of the course made themselves throughout the journey. I would often get messages from Scott either just to check in or to offer additional support and webinars. You can tell that these guys really care about their students and want to help each of them succeed. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to begin their GMAT studies!

I have been using this course for about 3 months now.
Started with RC, then CR then SC. Will start off with RC.

e GMAT's RC: It redefines the way you look at RCs, ranging from How to Read & Comprehend faster to Pre-Thinking the next line. e GMAT divided this portion on the basis of question type namely Main Point, Inference, Detail etc. and provides the correct way to approach each problem.

e GMAT's CR: This part will fine tune your pre existing concepts of Premise, Conclusion, Counter Premise etc. Every type of problem will be solved basis e GMAT's approach. Best parts were Assumption & Bold Faced.

e GMAT's SC: One word - Modifiers ! Want to solve every question on Modifiers, then Go to e GMAT's Verbal.
Parallelism & Comparison parts of course can be improved a little.

At last I recommend e GMAT's Verbal Course definitely to those who already at some level & want to improve their score further !

Fingers crossed for my next GMAT...

I purchased the e-GMAT GMAT online course with which i got complimentary access to GMAT Club tests. The biggest advantage of GMAT Club tests is that you have access to plethora of questions for your practice (more than 1500 question) in both Quant and Verbal.
The flexibility of attempting these questions in the form of CATs/ quizzes was another brilliant feature which enables you to first improve your understanding on a particular topic and then track your progress.
You can also create custom quizzes based on your strength ad weaknesses and analyze where you are going wrong. The analytics is another great feature which will help you understand where are you making most of your mistakes/ spending more or less time.
I would suggest everyone to first test your current level by taking a CAT and then work on the weaker areas. After which you can attempt one CAT per week to measure your progress and further refine your strategies. E-gmat Online course along with GMAT club tests helped me jump 100 points in my GMAT score and secure an admit from my targeted Business School.

I signed up for the verbal eGmat program to focus on sentence correction, which is where I really struggled in my practice tests. eGmat has a great feature where not only can you watch videos teaching you sentence correction technique, but you can create your own quizzes based on difficulty and verbal question type to practice over and over. You can sort on easy, medium, or hard and number of questions. For each question missed, it shows you a video or explanation about how to go through the process of figuring out the correct answer, not just giving you the correct answer. I found this really helpful because instead of meaningless practice, it helped establish correct procedure a develop a plan to attack the questions on the real test. The timer and suggested times really help you learn to pace yourself.

I purchased e-gmat course subscription and I would rate it very good. Their concepts files are amazingly well described and their questions on testing the concepts are well structured. They will give you two close options so that we can actually test out whether we have understood the concepts.
PS and DS: Being an engineer, i was good with Math, so I followed a unique approach. I did question banks/quant mocks from GMATClub tests and for topics, I didn't get the questions right, I would quickly go to the concept files and watch the videos.

SC : I would rate this better than Manhattan SC books and other books. The concepts such as Modifiers are very detailed and descriptive. The scholaranium questions are also very good.

CR: I would again say it is worth the time to go over the files and understand actually the different types of questions, specially the examples.

RC: Okay, so even though the content might be good, I feel they could make it a little better and closer to the actual GMAT exam. Even while performing well in their scholaranium, I couldn't score well in mocks and eventually the exam. I followed all their rules to the book, but some concepts weren't that clear.
