When I started to prepare for GMAT I was going through several reviews in Gmat Club. Fortunately I stumbled upon a review of Experts' Global Gmat prep. On the basis of that review I purchased the course and started preparing. When you start the course you are asked to write a mock test to gauge your ability both quantitative and verbal. When I gave my mock test I scored 200. With an utter disappointment I contacted the Experts' Global Gmat prep team. They immediately informed me that there is no reason to panic and instructed me to follow the suggested procedure.

The most amazing thing about the prep course is that the team keeps a real time record of your progress in preparation and improvement. Having said that it's entirely upto you to take advantage of the tools they provide. You need to ask them about the doubts that you are facing.

Now coming to the quality of preparation material I found the quant part is well prepared and it's sufficient to get a score of 50 by only following their materials.
To be honest I did't liked the verbal part. I think there a scope for the verbal team to work on the material. However I think the verbal material would be sufficient for those who are scoring good in their verbal in mocks.

Now come the mocks that they provide with the course. As per my opinion the mock tests are the closest to a real GMAT and the scores that you get would ideally reflect the score that you would get in a real GMAT.

Finally a few words about the EG team. I found them as extremely professional but with a flexible mindset for their student. Whenever I faced any difficulty I reached out to the team and got a solution. They really take care of their students.

I would definitely recommend this course to those who want a comprehensive preparation course within a reasonable. I started with 200 and ended up scoring 710 in actual GMAT.

TTP was amazing! And really helped especially if you need a refresh in math. It gives you everything you need for the test and uses a scientifically backed process to teach.

Note that the course is a commitment though. Be honest with yourself: you have to dedicate time to doing the work. Moreover, TTP estimate for the time commitment is on the low end: if you really review your chapter tests and official tests question by question it is going to take longer than 180 hours that they quote. I would give yourself about 3 to 4 months to do this course. I crammed it into 2 months and felt like I was burning out and not deriving all the value that reviewing your mistakes and weak areas gives you. To be honest, the fact that it takes a long time to truly learn something is not anything on TTP, it is just a fact of life, there are no shortcuts.

So in sum TTP give you everything you need and it is set up in a convenient package (they don't stress that their website is mobile friendly!)...study on the train!

Area for improvement: They need to do verbal.

As for raw data: my my official practices I was getting around Q47-Q49. My Q46 on test day I blame on the horrible cold I had - isolate yourself the week before the test!

Overall 10/10. Great job. If you are dedicated, you will not be disappointed. Amazing value.

A lot of people mention TTP as a great way to bump up quant. It's true. Running through a couple sets of number properties and psets was far more efficient for me than, say, watching videos (but granted, I only used TTP for my final month of preparation). Looking back, I wish I could've used TTP for my first few months, too. Thanks, Scott + Jeff!

(More details - having spent a week running through as many questions as possible on TTP for the free trial, I ended up signing up for a month and spent my last week shoring up verbal. The bet paid off. The golden rule with all test prep material holds true here: you only get as much as you put in.)

I went through a Manhattan Prep in-person course before trying TTP, but I didn’t feel like I was consistently excelling in quant. TTP finally took me out of my plateau. TTP helped me drill the key concepts that are critical to executing on the GMAT under the tight time constraints needed. TTP’s process may seem time-intensive and tedious, but it’s all worth it. My mental math improved and the repetition of the course helped me learn how to identify the shortcuts of the exam. While going through each chapter and the exams at the end of each, you’ll see the improvement. There’s no cheating the system! Try out TTP if you want a great quant score (49+) and are willing to put the time in.

I took a GMAT course from Experts' and was really happy with my choice. The course is a very thorough and exhaustive that you do not have to look for additional resources to prepare for GMAT. The structure is very modular in design that you can squeeze in one or two exercises, which is 15-20 minutes long, even during your working hours in office.

The best part of this online module is that the user interface is exactly like you would see in real GMAT exam. It is really helpful because you not only practice real topics and concepts but also subconsciously practice how to read in most efficient manner in real GMAT, specially for verbal for long RCs and CRs.

Additionally, reasoning/answer explanation with each question of the module for both quant and verbal is very descriptive!

Furthermore, Experts' team was very responsive whenever I had any query!

Using only the Manhattan books with what I now realize was casual studying, I got a 680 (Q39 V44) with what you can see is a poor quant score. I ran out of time on quant and was penalized. I thought the GMAT would be relatively simple compared to the CFA, but really it's apples and oranges. It's tempting to white knuckle your way through the quant with tons of algebra and without a calculator, but for most problems, that's just not how it works. I took the test again a few weeks later but there was no improvement. Clearly I needed help with math.

I discovered Target Test Prep through a forum, and I'm happy to endorse the work that Scott, Jeff and the rest of their team have done with the platform. Rather than piecing my way through books, it was much more effective to use an integrated, online interface where you could learn the content and do practice problems. Everyone will advise that you track your progress and keep an error log, and TTP basically does this for you. If you're limited on time, I think you'll see a solid improvement with just the easy/medium problems. I will say, though, that having drilled their hard problems, I consistently got Q48/Q49 in my mocks. The math felt relatively simple — at that point, my inefficiencies were more about test-taking skills and falling for the GMAT's tricks rather than a gap in knowledge.

Overall the course is a good math review but it didn't help me improve my quant score. At the end of the course I felt as if I had learned math concepts but failed to learn how to improve my quant score. I am certain that many will improve their quant score with this course but it just did not work for me. I started off at q 39 (practice test averaged about 41) and after completing all the lessons and about 2,000 practice problems I ended up with a q 38. If you need a solid review of math concepts this is a great tool.

I literally googled a lot about various Test Series before purchasing one. I did not find many reviews because Experts' Global was quite new at that time, but believing in a few of the reviews I read, I went to buy its Test Series. Providing 15 Tests with amazing analytics to analyze your progress, it is worth every penny. Also, its platform looks quite similar to actual GMAT screen with the same background color and all, and you do not feel new to the screen while giving the actual Exam. And the icing on the cake is EG's quite good and supportive Customer Service. Due to some reasons, I needed to stop my preparation in between, and when I resumed, my subscription was about to expire. I ask the Support Team to extend my subscription by 7 days because I was going to have GMAT a few days after, and in good faith, they did. They actually extended it for 7 days. And I am really thankful to these guys.

The e-gmat course really helped me with SC and CR sections in verbal. Prior to taking this course I had the pick the right answer approach, however e-gmat helped me develop the eliminate the wrong answer choices approach. The concept file and scholarium provides you a good set of practice questions and are for sure GMAT level questions.
Also the e-gmat planner is a very healthy tool to put a timeline to your preparations provided you stick to it no matter what. Be honest about the time you can dedicate on a daily basis and it would provide you a timeline according to which you can plan your GMAT. Make sure you have sufficient time remaining post the e-gmat course completion to write the official mock tests available on mba.com as they help you access where you stand.
