Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

It hurts me a little to write such a negative review but I feel it is my obligation to save other potential test takers from wasting their precious time and money. In short: do NOT use eGMAT. The quant section is absolutely awful. eGMAT is EXTREMELY shallow. They only briefly dive into each quant topic and do not provide enough examples to truly master a subject. I'm not kidding when I say for some topics they only provide 5 practice problems. In addition to this, and this is the absolute saddest part of this dreadful service, the quant problems written by eGMAT are LITTERED with grammatical errors. They are not written by native English speakers and it shows. Since this is a test prep service, this is absolutely unacceptable. Additionally, their platform is unintuitive to navigate to the point where I could not find solutions for certain questions I had answered. For reference, I've also used materials from Manhatten, Veritas, OG, GMAT Club, Powerscore, Target Test Prep and EmpowerGMAT, so I'm well aware of what options exist in the market. eGMAT is absolutely not a leading platform. Do not buy into their marketing ploys (which is how they got me). Please take this review to heart, and go with a different service that can actually help you achieve your dreams of getting into your dream school. Buyer be warned! Go elsewhere for your prep! Seriously!

MGMAT Interact Post Exam Assessment (PEA)-Elaine Loh

Course Manhattan Prep GMAT On Demand

MGMAT Interact is an impressive product. It took a lot of work and dedication, but I was ultimately able to surpass my goal of a score of 700 (I got a 710 second attempt) through many hours of work and a highly effective Post Exam Assessment (PEA) after not reaching my goal on my first attempt, and having started out at a baseline of 570. I started the Interact course in the beginning of January, 2019. As an active duty member of the U.S. military, I had not exercised many of the academic skills tested in the GMAT in nearly 7 years. MGMAT Interact was a great tool that allowed me to "plug back in" at my own pace. I worked 10-15 hours per week for 3.5 months completing the Interact syllabus, and then left 1.5 months for review and practice before my test date in late May. I think the Interact syllabus could be completed in 2ish months with a less demanding work schedule. Owing to a very demanding work training tempo prior to my first attempt, I did not achieve my goal of 700 and scored 660. MGMAT offers a free, 1 hour Post Exam Assessment (PEA) on videochat with one of its tutors if you do not achieve your goal on attempt 1 and you are taking one of their courses. I had one month between my first and second attempt, but really only 2 weeks of good study time owing to work commitments. The PEA was highly effective. Elaine Loh did a great job of giving me tangible "do this" advice, while still really listening to and giving thoughtful answers to my questions. She helped me tailor essentially a 10-14 day study plan (obviously highly compressed) to give me the best shot of hitting 700. She sent me a ton of helpful drill sets for my weaker areas, and she gave me hard, tangible priorities for what I needed to work on and for roughly how long. She also helped drive home the importance of error logging. Most impressively, she stayed in contact with me for the next couple of weeks and promptly answered my questions via email. Her feedback on a day by day study plan I created helped boost my confidence in the final week before my second test attempt. Her efforts during the PEA and after it really underscored how MGMAT is committed to getting you to where you want to be, even if you don't hit your goal on your first attempt. That being said, Elaine went above and beyond; she was invested in my personal success and really wanted me to achieve my goal, irrespective of reviews, etc. The PEA is a great feature and I attribute much of my rapid score improvement (50 points) to Elaine's effectiveness and sincere efforts as an instructor.

Course Experts' Global 5-Weeks GMAT Crash Course

Location Online

For my preparation I solely referred to Experts global 5-weeks crash course. the Week before the exam I also went through few OG questions.

The material is very comprehensive divided into three phases. 1st phase contains concept videos plus exercises . 2nd and 3rd phase contain exercises with questions of increasing difficulty. All the exercises are timed.

Question bank of this course is huge and solutions to all questions are explained through videos which is great. There are 15 test, all similar to actual Exam in terms of quality.

Plus access to crash course is valid for 6 months. I took around 2.5 months to complete.

Hi, you mentioned that you were able to complete the crash course in 2.5 months. How many hours were you able to dedicate daily? If I can dedicate 5-6 hours daily would it be possible to complete the course in a month? Also, would you recommend this course for an improvement in verbal score (say from 33 to 39)? Overall, I found your review very helpful.

Great verbal course

Course Experts' Global GMAT Verbal Prep Online

The verbal course by Experts Global is the most efficient option for GMAT verbal preparation.

Sentence correction has been awesomely covered by a group of beautifully segregated electronic books and a large set of detailed videos covering all main concepts and paired with 2-3 detailed exercises for every concept. In later stages of prep, one gets to solve jumbled up exercises and at the end one gets hundreds of 700+ questions.

Reading comprehension has been explained through a set of strategy videos followed by a really rich set of exercises. The reading comprehensions are a fir mix in difficulty, subjects, and length, like on GMAT.

Critical reasoning has been especially beautifully explained. They have cover all of CR in around 10-12 topic rather than only 6 topics or so. This makes mastering each type of question really easy; for example, a topic like "Evaluation" or "Main point" in CR is not there in most materials but Experts Global has taken care of it.

The quality of questions as well as explanations is amazing throughout the course.

The short videos are a lot of fun for revising concepts. Flags and sticky notes are very interesting feature. The GMAT type screen throughout really helps in practicing and getting used to the pressure and environment of GMAT. Timer in exercises turns red when you take extra time so this keeps you on the edge; they have been careful to not include this feature (of timer turning red) in the practice tests which is great as full mocks must be just like GMAT.

Kudos, Experts Global.

Course Experts' Global "Must Have" GMAT Review

Location Online

This prep option has been correctly mentioned as "must have" because I can really say that everybody must use this really rich resource.

For just $50, you get 15 amazing mock tests coupled with video solutions and outstanding infographics. These mocks are the closest to GMAT among those by all prep companies and the really high number of these mocks made me feel empowered to take mocks freely as I took as many as 3 per week in the final month of my preparation.

The huge set of GMAT shots are another beautiful tool for watching quick videos for important things on GMAT for all four sections.

The SC e-books are a great pool if you wish to go deep into the nitty gritty of sentence correction and English grammar.

I started my association with Experts' Global with this option and I later also opted for their verbal course. Overall, I have gained a lot from Experts Global GMAT platform.

2.5 months with TTP | Q45 to Q50

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

The TTP program is exactly what you need to get the quant score you are aiming for. Like many before me, I took a quant/verbal course to get up to speed on the GMAT and then self-studied for a couple months before taking an official test. Unfortunately, my score was not competitive, especially on quant (45). I thought all I needed to do was more OG problems, so I went through them again and also bought the supplemental quant guide and worked those problems. Three months later, after countless problem sets / late nights / review sessions / some tutoring / etc etc, I got the same quant score (45).

Discouraged but not ready to give up, I searched through the GMAT Club forums hoping to find tips / advice / success stories in which someone was facing a similar situation but made a change and saw a breakthrough in their score. Several stories I came across mentioned TTP, their comprehensive quant program and how the program actually led to real gains in their quant scores. I gambled and decided to give it a shot - it's the best decision I made and I only wish I had found it earlier in my studies.

The program is thorough and requires dedication - I cannot emphasize this enough. It breaks down all the key areas of quant into individual modules which include a text book portion with example problems to learn the topic and, when you are ready, multiple easy / medium / hard chapter quizzes (each quiz ranges from 10 - 15 problems). The quiz problems are very close to actual GMAT problems, so you are getting a ton of repetition and building up confidence that you actually understand how to tackle a topic, no matter how it is presented. Answer explanations are also provided for each question, so if you got one wrong, you will learn how to better approach the question and if you got it right, you may find that there is a more efficient / easier way to solve the problem.

To illustrate the benefit of this, lets say you struggle with roots/exponents and only use the OG to practice - you have a limited number of problems to pick from (10-20?) and you only see problems presented in a few of the numerous ways the GMAT could actually test you. For TTP, they have at least 150 root/exponent problems to work on presented in all different ways that you could realistically see on the actual test. This applies to all the quant topics - number properties, word problems, statistics, overlapping sets, geometry, etc. If you decide to give TTP a shot, I would encourage you to follow the program as outlined (the course really does build on itself) and give yourself ~3 months to complete it (hour or so after work and a couple hours on the weekend). By the end of the program, you will be amazed by your performance and you can get the score you are aiming for. After 2.5 months and cutting the program a bit short, I was pleasantly surprised to get a Q50 on my latest GMAT - a score I never thought as realistic for me but one I owe to all the time spent on the TTP program.

Not too many people have a sense of purpose in life and I was no different. An economics degree and three promotions later, I decided to take the ‘next logical step’. In the search of self-discovery, I decided to opt for an MBA; but, first things first, I had to get a good score on my GMAT. Aware that I would not be able to accomplish the task all by myself, I decided to look for expert help. I wanted experienced mentors who could advise me on the right approach to take GMAT – from preparation to test-taking strategy - and that is when I came across Experts’ Global’s GMAT Preparation Program. The sheer breadth of the GMAT prep resources immensely helped me grasp the concepts better. Importantly, Experts’ Global GMAT Preparation Program helped me improve my GMAT score from 650 to 690!

I started my GMAT journey in February 2018; I had no idea of the long road I had ahead. Indeed, as an attorney-at-law, I had not studied math since high school (i.e. for more than 10 years).

After two months of studying with the Manhattanprep books, I took my first official practice test and scored a dismal 560, with Q32. I was devastated and did not know what to do to improve my score.

This is when a friend of mine recommended me to use Target Test Prep; this course is extremely thorough in teaching you the basic math skills to acquire, and then the advanced skills in order to score high in quant.

This platform requires dedication, but is extremely efficient; after approximately 4 months of serious studying and a few private sessions with Scott (who is again highly recommended for his teaching methods), I took another official practice test and scored Q46. I then switched to verbal studying in order to obtain the last push to 700 in my official GMAT.

I am now admitted to the INSEAD MBA program. I would not have been able to achieve this result without Target Test Prep and the help of Scott.

This is a no brainer: for anyone coming from a non-traditional MBA background who lacks math skills, Target Test Prep is the way to go. Forget about the other companies.

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Having studied from multiple sources such as Manhattan, Official Guide, Classroom Coaching etc. I have developed a skill to separate wheat from the chaff. In my view, the quality of the eGMAT course is class apart and significantly better as compared to any other source. The program helped me develop concrete solid fundamentals, analyse my weaknesses in the scholaranium and build my stamina by giving multiple mock tests. I never had to rely on an alternate source of study to gain additional knowledge as the content of the course is highly comprehensive, elaborative and a cakewalk to understand. The e-learning course made me study at a self pace and take my fundamentals to an amazingly next level. I never thought there was a difference between "Due to" and "Because", "Do It" and "Do So" etc. Knowing the correct usage of various idioms, tenses etc. really helped in eliminating the wrong options on the fly.

I would highly recommend a test taker to enroll in the program and blindly follow it without any second thoughts. I was able to improve my score by a total of 60 points by the program :)
