Being an Indian candidate, I found the quants section relatively easier but the verbal section was really tough. Even during my prep, I found that non-native English speakers rely on their intuition which is the first thing e-gmat verbal course broke. It gave me a set of rules that came handy for all sections. Although it started with very basic concepts at first, which I skimmed through, once it got to the complicated concepts the rules were really helpful. I saw a score improvement from a V30 in diagnostics to a V37 in first attempt to a V40 in second attempt in real exam.
I would like to highlight the 3 important sections of the whole course.
1. Roadmap: e-gmat allows students to create a course roadmap as per their tentative GMAT exam date highlighting the number of hours to be invested in each section as per their target scores. Thus, at the very start, I was able to visualize and plan the kind of preparation I wanted.
2. Course material: Verbal: One word, Awesome! This course was precise and interlinked in terms of the topics. Within SC, the gradual progression of topics ensured that by the end of SC each portion was well understood. I was able to identify the areas where I was going wrong and improve on them through practice in Scholaranium. Similarly, the methodology of understanding small portions (2-3 sentences) in each para, creating a summary of each para and then consolidating the summary to create a passage summary was the step-by-step approach that I needed to learn RC.Quant: The quant course covered right from the basics of primes and divisibility tests to the advanced topics of probability and PnC in a detailed manner. For revision, I found the pace of videos tad slow but for freshers, the pace might be appropriate.
3. Guidance: Most importantly, the e-gmat team is extremely supportive and helpful in clarifying your doubts. I was able to receive a lot of personal guidance from them whenever I needed, right from the course correction to the post-admit program selection. I'm thankful to Rajat and Sharang for giving their time and for helping me in my journey.
Signed up for Magoosh at $99 for the 6 months. It was too good to pass up. The tutorials and videos were very helpful and organized. Their weekly videos and youtube channel also has a ton of helpful and great material. Their mock questions were very well made and explained.
Some of the cons were the person in the math videos had a monotonous voice. However this didn't have too much of an impact on learning. The videos were short and not very indepth. I am the type of person who likes to dig deep. Hence the videos could've been longer.
Overall though its great for the price and the website has a ton of valuable material to improve GMAT score. I used it early on it my studies so it helped me alot.
e-GMAT is an excellent resource for improving your verbal score. Their approach to CR and SC is not something that I have seen in other courses.
However, the course itself is VERY extensive, and it is difficult to complete it, especially for working professionals.
The interface itself appears primitive and the videos are a bit monotonous, might put you to sleep. But if you can overcome that, the course is worth its weight in gold. It is one of the most comprehensive GMAT courses out there. Although, the course did not have a good app for remote learning.
It is a great course for fresh out of college GMAT aspirants. Just the extent of the course makes it difficult to complete.

I started TTP after getting a few Q49. I figured I would need to review from the ground up and strengthen my weakness in order to achieve the next level. I trusted the platform based on raving reviews, but I didn't see any noticeable result. Most people who use TTP are barely getting Q40~45 and they are happy with what they get. I don't think this program is for people who are at an advanced level.
I found the questions and lectures very repetitive. Questions are too easy and I don't think they prepare you well for the actual GMAT.
Followed the 6-month GMAT study plan from Magoosh. The key feature that was the biggest help was the numerous video lessons and the video explanations for each problem. My quant needed a lot of work and the video lessons were a massive help, and emphasized logical understanding of how to solve problems, which allowed me to tackle most any problem. My verbal started strong, but a few tips and tricks helped me get a great score. The fact that you can watch videos at 2x speed is a great timesaver as well. I will note that the course was not perfect- Magoosh does have flash cards on a variety of mobile apps, but they were oftentimes glitchy. Additionally, the course required a review of the Manhattan Prep material, which I did not find incrementally useful after reviewing the Magoosh material. However, the course brought be to a fantastic score so overall it was very well designed.
Verbal course from e-GMAT is best in class. Especially the sentence correction course is very comprehensive and a must have if you want to score high in the GMAT verbal section. The explanations for Reading comprehension and Critical reasoning sections are also well done. Scholaranium is one tool which cannot be skipped. It provides better insights on your preparation by highlighting your weak areas. Kudos to Rajath and Payal for creating such a wonderful verbal course. When it comes to the quant course, its a good one maybe few more additional questions can be added. Overall the GMAT online course provided by E-GMAT is very comprehensive and can be the go to solution to crack the GMAT with very high score
I have purchased egmat verbal online course for which i got SC,CR,RC videos and verbal scholaranium GOLD with 500 question.
I heard that sentence correction is only worthy out of this entire course, even i felt the same even after going through the course.
Sentence correction is a bit helpful in knowing all the grammar rules but in reading comprehension i found the process a bit hectic and time taking which is not practically possible at the time of exam, also i didnt find any info which can be helpful in improving my accuracy in reading comprehension. in case of CR pre-thinking is one think that is helpful, i expected much more from this course but my application part is lacking where the course would have been helpful but it didn't.

I enrolled to Target Test Prep after hearing about it from a friend who was also preparing for the GMAT. Only thing I regret is that I didnt listen to him right away and delayed in enrolling to this course. If you are looking to score somewhere in between Q47-Q50 in quant then this is the course you should enroll to. The best part about this course is that it improves your basics and then develops your skill to do GMAT level questions. I gave the GMAT thrice till I finally scored 720. In first two attempts I got Q48 and the final one was Q47. The success rate of TTP is huge. It literally conditions you to solve GMAT quant questions accurately till you actually end up solving them correctly on the test day. Another point I would like to mention which I feel is very important: while going through the course I had some questions regarding a quant problem which I just couldnt figure out. There is a chat window which enables you to contact someone from TTP and ask them questions. I explained my doubt in the chat window and immediately got a response. In fact I asked too many questions till I was absolutely confident about the question and each time I got a quick response. I highly recommend this course. Just close your eyes and get the subscription. The ROI is huge.
I took the course from Expert's Global in 2017 to prepare for GMAT and found it really useful especially for the test series part. Gave a number of tests and was impressed with the level of analysis provided to improve the score. Hence, could focus on the areas of improvement very well and this really helped in gaining confidence & practice for the score. Plus, it is a great tool to learn how to manage time well since time-management is of the utmost importance in the GMAT. All-in-all, the materials & test series were very helpful in performing well in the GMAT exam
why to head over to TTP if you have decent score in math?
