I took my first GMAT in 2015 and scored a 610. I was hugely disatisfied with the score but due to other
personal committments, I did not get a chance to re-take the exam.

So towards the end of last year, I thought I will consider taking the GMAT again and started actively looking for resources.
For my first attempt, I relied mainly on the Manhattan series and Official Guides. I felt that these materials were good to
give me an understanding of the topics tested and to practice the format of the exam.
However, after my analysis on my first attempt I realized what I was missing on was the right strategy.
I figured out that my main issue was not having a proper strategy to tackle the exam. I thought the best way to overcome this was to find a good course which will help me teach me sound strategies to approach GMAT in a better way.

One of my friends introduced me to e-GMAT. She had taken the course and improved by 100 points in her GMAT.
Inspired by her massive improvement, I thought I should give e-GMAT a try. I first started by reading reviews about e-GMAT on GMAT Club and Beat The GMAT forums.
I also started attending some of the free webinars conducted by the e-GMAT team. The webinars were great in understanding more about how e-GMAT courses are structured and also to get to know their teaching style.
After attending the GMAT strategy webinar and a couple of other Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning webinars, I felt that I should purchase the course.
Hence,I enrolled into the Verbal and Quant online courses.
Needless to say, this was one of the best decisions I could have made!
The videos and materials provided by e-GMAT are amazing and very detailed. The sentence correction videos were very structuredand it walks through how to understand the meaning of a sentence, identifying clauses, subject-verb agreements and identifying
the errors in the sentence. The 3 step process for Sentence Correction was very helpful and easy for me to apply on complex Sentence Correction questions. One of the key strategies for Critical Reasoning was Pre-thinking which also greatly helped me in solving Critical Reasoning Problems. For Reading Comprehension, the importance given to get immersed in the passage was a great tip for a person like me who used to dread long passages. I no longer look at long passages as something which tires me out.
Instead, this strategy has helped me approach RC in a more relaxed manner which in turn has improved my overall accuracy.
One of the key things I like about eGMAT is the Pre-Assessment and Post-Assessment quizzes. These help to track my progress in each module and is a good way to test your knowledge in each sub topic.
I took 2 mock tests after finishing the Verbal course and I saw a 4 points improvement in my Verbal score (from 32 to 36).
The improvement can definitely be attributed to the Verbal online course as I used the approach recommended by the course to tackle the questions.
I also think that the e-GMAT Verbal course is the best among all other resources currently available for non-native speakers.
My GMAT is scheduled in a few weeks time and I am currently focusing on the Quant course. It has been great so far and I hope to see a solid score improvement for Quant as well.
For students looking at course options for GMAT, I would strongly urge you to consider e-GMAT as it is definitely worth
your money and time!

I will try to keep it really short and crisp. I came to know about e-GMAT from the online forums and after going through the reviews leave no room for doubt. Just attend any free webinar by e-GMAT and you will know what I am talking about. The crux of e-GMAT teaching methodology is that there is no shortcut and one cannot get away with a high score without paying attention to the details. GMAT is an exam of logic and just the concepts are not going to help anyone through to a high score. It's the application of those concepts that is tested and e-GMAT courses are really well designed for that.
The course contents covers all there is to know about the questions asked in the GMAT and the correct way to handle them. The content files stresses a lot on following the process irrespective of the difficulty of the question.
I have attempted GMAT once and did not score well on the GMAt and the only reason for that is not the conceptual gap but the application gap.
There are many courses or free material available on the internet for GMAT but having the concepts presented in the right and concise manner is what makes the difference. With the regular live sessions, really helpful faculty and continuous content upgrades the course is only going to get better with time.

My first attempt at the GMAT resulted in a 640 with a strong verbal score and a low quant score. I was waitlisted from my graduate school of choice and was told I needed to raise my GMAT score to at least 700 to be near my program's average score. I stumbled upon TTP through GMATclub and was immediately attracted by the clean website design and the methodical way in how each topic area of GMAT quant was covered by Scott & team. I was diligent to follow the TTP course calendar exactly as it was laid out; although TTP covers only quant, the course trains you and helps you to develop the analytical mindset that is necessary to score high in verbal as well. After three months of studying intensively with TTP and using only OG Verbal materials, I raised my score from 640 to 730 (and also achieved a significant bump in verbal!). If you are careful to follow TTP as prescribed, and take the time to watch the videos and do ALL the practice problems (as well as do significant work with OG problems), there is a good chance you will see score improvement as I did.

Target Test Prep made a major difference to my GMAT quant score. Before the course, I was mainly scoring around Q40 and was maxing out at Q45, but I knew that if I was to improve in Quant, I would have to find a logical way to understand Quant topics and have a systematic approach to attack problems. I had taken a classroom course and then also completed Quant books of another reputed test prep company, however I could never cross Q45 in any mocks. My goal was to reach at least Q49.

I had checked several other courses but they either focused mostly on conceptual depth without application or direct problem solving using techniques (i.e. smart numbers, testing answers). What works in Quant is knowing the concept well and ability to apply in a structured manner.

TTP does the following to deserve a big “Thank You”:
1. Builds excellent conceptual base for every topic. Furthermore, they have covered all possible concepts & Q types in a topic.
2. It provides a logical approach to solve any Question. Each Q has a video as well as text solution.
3. Provides excellent practice by having Chapter Quizzes of varying difficulty level (Easy, Medium & Difficult). Furthermore, there are review Quizzes before beginning every chapter to help in revising the concepts of the previous chapters. Additionally, there are Review Quizzes after a few chapters to solidify concepts in a cluster of chapters. Finally, there are the Global Review to test our entire Quant Ability.
4. The Quiz solutions also help to identify which concept we are lacking and provides an easy reference link to review the pertaining concept.
5. Provides the best dashboard to pinpoint what topics is our weak link area and focus on the same in terms of accuracy, pacing.

Overall, I recommend going through each module at least once and completing all the Quizzes.
I scored a Q49 in my 1st attempt at GMAT.

Target Test Prep was far and away the most thorough and well structured platform I used throughout my GMAT prep. I tried Manhattan Prep, solo-studying, various guide books, and none prepared me as well as Target. Each topic is separated into a different chapter with multiple chapter tests of various difficulty built in to test competency after the chapter is completed. Their system is well-structured and very efficient. Jeffrey Miller, a member of the team at Target, was also a tremendous help as a private tutor, as was Scott Stewart. Couldn't have achieved my goal without their help, these guys are the absolute best!

I secured a GMAT score of 670(q51,v28). I'm retaking the exam to get a better verbal score. My experience with the Quant course of EGMAT has been amazing and it helped me a lot to achieve my dream score of Q51. I have been poor at Verbal but the course has given me great hope as the topics were so keenly discussed, followed by practice tests. The course helps you understand the topics and Scholaranium is a beautiful portal where you can practice and excel the topics you've learnt. The feedback response for the doubts you've got is pretty quick from the EGMAT management which helps you clearly understand where the things went south. I have an amazing experience using both verbal and quant live prep courses.

In first gmat in october 2017, I scored a dismal V23 (overall 590). The score was below par and I knew there was something that went horribly wrong on the D-day, as I was scoring 670-700 in my gmatprep.
After the initial mourning period, I decided to get the ESR and see where the issues were in Verbal. I saw that I got 60% of the questions wrong in the first ten questions. The graph showed that the question level never went above the Medium difficulty leading to the low score. After ESR analysis, I decided to work on verbal and use 'e-gmat' course. The decision to use e-gmat was based on the feedback of other students , plus the fact that I was working full time and didn't had the time to attend any in-person classes . Also, I had used the 'modifier application' section, present in the 'e-gmat' trial version and on the GMAT forum, during the first phase of the study and found the trial version to be of great help. Bought the e-gmat online course and reached out to Rajat/e-gmat team for help. They responded quickly with the steps to be followed.

Before starting with the second phase of the study, I decided to check my verbal ability on e-gmat. The score was 44 percentile. It showed that I had some gaps that had to be filled, before taking second attempt. Over the course of next 2.5 months I religiously followed the e-gmat SC, CR , RC and IR section and saw my verbal ability improve from 44 percentile to 77 percentile, couple of days before second GMAT. SC and CR were the big beneficiary , RC was fluctuating as usual.
During December, My company announced a forced furlough and that was the time, I decided to give the second GMAT. I gave GMAT prep1 repeat (700) and prep 2 (730). then I decided to give my next attempt. In january 2018, I was able to increase my score to 700 score with V38 in verbal.
This wouldn't have been possible with the verbal e-gmat course.

If you are in the same boat as I was, there is no better alternative then e-gmat course.

I'm so happy I found out about Target Test Prep!
I was consistently scoring about 43 on the Quant section which was way lower than I wanted.
I am definitely a math person so was really frustrated that I couldn’t seem to bring it up. 2 weeks before my scheduled GMAT my friend told me about TTP, so I decided to check it out. Right away I was able to tell that this site was legit so I pushed back my GMAT 2 more weeks and even set up tutoring sessions with Jeff.

The program is really great, it covers all the important topics and contains really useful formulas and tricks to watch out for in each section. I also found the chapter tests and review quizzes extremely helpful and important. By the time I got to my GMAT date I felt super confident with the Quant and scored a 49! I ended up getting a 690 (target was 700) and am planning on taking it one more time and trying to improve my verbal a bit (got a 35 and know I can bring this up at least 2-3 points).

Anyone who wants to bring up their Quant score should definitely try TTP!

TTP really drills down into the fundamentals of quant. Most GMAT prep softwares use workarounds or one-off strategies but TTP really forces you to refine your fundamental quant skills. Therefore, TTP requires lost of time and dedication but it's well worth it.

The flexible option is really nice for those who have a full time job and have a decent understanding of how the quant section works on the GMAT. The practice problems did not allow you to use GMAT tricks to solve them, rather the problems forced you to use sound quant skills learned in chapters. Overall, TTP is great for those who feel as though they have gaps in their knowledge from a quant perspective. I would recommend TTP to anyone struggling with Quant especially if they have already taken another course or used other prep material that did not significantly improve their score.

I used to do practice problems for hours but TTP forces you to understand the logic and math behind concepts, which proved to be very helpful. I chose TTP primarily b/c my verbal was strong enough but quant needed work.
