Whether you are native or non-native speaker, eGMAT is a great program to use to prepare for the GMAT exam. I am a visual learner so the videos were extremely beneficial to me. They breakdown all the concepts into simple terms and emphasize the importance of finding the underlining meaning.

Scholaranium is essential to improving your score because it pinpoints your weaknesses. It’s also a representation of how much you understand the concepts or not.

Overall, I highly recommend this test prep program. I cannot thank Rajat and his team for their support. You will truly get your desired score if you follow eGMAT’s step-by-step process.

I gave my first GMAT after a lot of self preparation and scored a dismal 620(Q 49, V 27) and was terribly disheartened as i thought that self study should be fine to tackle the GMAT beast.
As it turned out, its not enough.
I after reading to a lot of reviews attended one of the Saturday courses with Rajat Sadana for CR that was based on the revolutionary approach of CR. I was dumb struck as for the first time I was looking towards mathematical and step wise approach to solve CR questions.
I was sold with the idea that i have to enroll for this course.
very next day i paid for it and took my GMAT test date after exactly 30 days as i wanted to apply in Round 3.
I work for a major oil and gas company in India and the working hours are as demanding as it gets.
Still, I was fascinated by the approach the tutors taught me for S,CR and RC questions.
I couldn't focus much on the course owing to my work demands but was learning a lot of new fundamentals and above all strategic approach for RC, SC and CR questions.
I couldn't study much in the last week before my exam but anyhow decided to go ahead with my score.
I loved the e-gmat course in ways that it taught me that there is a strategic and systematic approach which , if followed, shall guarantee a great score on the GMAT.
Pre-thinking in CR, Error analysis in SC and a logic consequence of the process that you could do through out the passage in RC are a score grabber.
However, due to some serious personal emergencies i missed by GMAT and couldn't appear for it.
After i recovered, I started my preparation again from scratch and appeared for the exam and scored a 660(Q49, V 31).
I know its not a great score but i am happy that i could improve 4 points in verbal, all thanks to the e-GMAT Verbal Online prep course.
I am again planning to write my GMAT again in the month of June-18 and am pretty sure that with the help of e-GMAT course and some serious dedication I shall be able to cross the 720 barrier.
All the best to everyone.
Peace.
May the force be with all of us.

I started preparing for GMAT July’17. The preparation was on and off as it was difficult to manage it while working full time, 6 days a week. Initially, I didn’t not take any courses and started prepping Verbal using Manhattan books. Things were very new for me. It took a while to get accustomed to it. But even after 3-4 months of prep it seemed like I was where I started, hardly any improvement in Verbal section.
Then, my senior introduced me to e-GMAT and I cannot thank her enough for having done that. Initially I was a little sceptical about joining but then I saw a few free lectures and decided to go aahead. The way and the structure of the lectures made them interesting. The structuring of the course is such that before moving on to another topic we have sufficient practice of the previous ones so that it gets imbibed in our system.
The verbal course is a blessing for everyone and the scholaranium is like a cherry on the top. The scholaranium tests can be customised as per your need and practise.
I started the course with V27. I dreaded SC like anything. Barely managing 20-30% accuracy.
I wouldn't say that a V35 is an awesome score, but for someone like me who dreaded SC to such a large extent, it was definitely an accomplishment, especially since I was now able to answer the questions with logic rather than on a hunch that it sounds right.
Thank you e-GMAT once again.

I had heard about the products of E-Gmat and the effects
I Had very very positive feedback about each and every product
But the most suggested course was sentence correction
It does not give you options for an individual course online
But if you E-mail any of the co-owners, he or she will definitely reply to your mail, which is rare in all cases.
If you request for it, they give you the options
They also give a bit of a discount if asked for.
I really suggest you take up the verbal course, especially if you're weak in SC
They also give you free webinars on various topics every now and then.

To summarize my review: TTP is awesome!
I just had a couple of weeks to study using TTP because I had a due date on my second GMAT exam, but studying with TTP was an amazing experience, based on a few things:
1. It actually teaches you math.
I've seen other courses that teach you only a few tricks to get some questions right, but that is not sufficient to get a very high score. TTP has a methodology that ease the learning process to you, so those tricks are only ways to fasten the solving process of a problem that you'll definitely know how to solve if the trick is not enough.

2. It helps you to track your gaps.
After each exam you take, it clearly states what are your main problems, according to question type, theme, and difficulty level. It even conveniently lead you to themes that you should review before advancing on the study plan. After each test, you review your answers and the official solution, and you can mark why you got it wrong. It helps a lot to become more aware of the changes you need in you.

3. It has an "infinite" questions set.
Seriously, I wasn't even near finishing all the practice questions TTP could give me. In addition to questions grouped into themes, it even has a tool to generate customized tests with a lots of parameters for you to choose, such as difficulty, your average response time on related themes, only new/known questions, only questions that you got wrong before, etc.


4. It has an use experience that meets nowadays expectations
Seriously, why there are still courses that makes you use excel spreadsheets or things like that to track your progress? TTP gets that done easily! There's a pretty amazing dashboard that easily gives you the information you need to take the next steps.

5. The customer service is great!
I sent a few messages on the customer support chat and they answered me really fast, even on Sundays! Theses messages were all about my attempts to optimize my use of the tool because I was so short on time. I did not have any problem to use it.

As a native speaker, I was initially very hesitant about signing up for E-gmat as it seems purely geared towards non-natives. The focus and strength of E-gmat seems to be with the verbal section and not on the quant section. They are widely known for verbal and not so much for quant.

Pros: The scholaranium feature is very helpful to identify weaknesses.
Cons: The videos could definitely use an update and at times seem pretty low budget.

Overall, I think there are better courses out there to help you with the quant section of the GMAT. However, if you are looking for verbal help, this is a good option.

As a native speaker, I was initially very hesitant about signing up for E-gmat as it seems purely geared towards non-natives. However, I decided to give it a shot as E-gmat is widely known for its Verbal prep and for good reason. The level of detail that the lessons go into is very helpful and they emphasize understanding meaning over all else.

Pros: The scholaranium feature is very helpful to identify weaknesses.
Cons: The videos could definitely use an update and at times seem pretty low budget.

Overall, I think its worth the money to invest for the verbal portion if you are willing to use the strategies to the T.

In fairness, I did not utilize the Target Test Prep software to it's full potential. I had already gained GMAT testing strategies from a different prep company and simply used this service to help identify some weaknesses. The user interface is very modern and by far the best of any company out there.
During our initial phone conversation, Scott at Target Test Prep seemed very caring and talked me through the mental hurdles of breaking score barriers.
I probably should've used this service as directed, but at the time, my needs were different than those of a beginner. Overall, it may be worth your while.

Some background: I am an international student based in a Middle Eastern country with absolutely no quantitative background. The last time I took a math class was in high school, and I graduated high school 6 years ago.

I decided that I wanted to take the GMAT and took a diagnostic test and scored an underwhelming 580. I signed up for an in-person private tutoring course by another well-known international prep company, and I was able to consistently hit the low 600s, but never past 650. After doing some research and seeing some of the great reviews on here, I signed up for an online course with Manhattan Prep.

Since the company is based in the US, all but one of the course timings were not suited for my schedule. The only course that was available, and took place at a convenient time, was Josh Braslow's course.

Josh is a GMAT instructor living the dream, teaching GMAT skills to people around the world online while living on a Mediterranean island. This works out great timezone-wise for anyone in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. We also had a few U.S. based students who wanted to get their GMAT lesson out of the way early in the morning before they went to work. The point to consider is that you will likely find something that works for your schedule.

Josh is a great instructor and will absolutely take you where you need to go with your quantitative skills. He makes himself available to all of his students for questions, and even offers great insights and strategies that he has taken the time to figure out himself. This isn't an instructor who is being provided with the lesson plan, he creates one that is unique to him. He makes sure that everyone gets a chance to contribute, and everyone walks away knowing so much more about the exam than before. His emphasis on strategies is essential to any significant score improvement. His insight on sentence correction is also invaluable, and he did a great job walking us through the various approaches that made the verbal section very manageable for a non-native speaker like myself. In the weeks leading up to the exam, my GMATPrep scores ranged from 720-770, (With my highest Q at 50, and highest V at 47) and I finally sat the test and scored a 730 (Q47/V42), which I am more than happy with. Definitely worth the money.

Target Test Prep made a major difference to my GMAT Score overall, especially since I was aiming to obtain a high quant score. Before the course, I was mainly scoring around Q40, but I knew that if I were to improve I would have to prioritize this section since I was not scoring at a high percentile. I took other courses and managed to score a 620 on my first GMAT attempt (Q43, V 31). While my Verbal was not as high either, I knew that it was important for me to achieve a high quant score since I am looking to switch to a career that values quant highly. My goal was to reach at least Q47.

I initially began taking other courses that did cover the fundamentals, but non were as comprehensive as TTP. Several other courses I checked out focused mostly on techniques (i.e. smart numbers, testing answers), but I knew that understanding the algebraic approach initially would ultimately help facilitate my understanding of the problems to then apply these kinds of techniques. I believe TTP has the best dashboard and comprehensive modules overall, allowing you to customize your own plan depending on how much time you have before your test. Having failed to obtain my target score previously, I decided to take more time to study for about 3 months (the first two dedicated to TTP) until I felt prepared to score highly on my second try. I did study approximately 3 hours a day to go over TTP and I went through each Module twice, initially focusing on understanding the concepts and later focusing on time management for each test on every Module.

Since I started scoring between 47-49 on my practice CATs, I felt more confident but I did schedule a call with Jeff who gave me a couple of tips to make sure that I was ready for my test and immediately booked my exam for 2 weeks after that call. I found that a lot of times there were concepts I found difficult to grasp entirely, but the Must Know page was of great help to focus on what the most important concepts are for the test and relaxed my mind from stressing to have to know every single concept. Overall, I recommend going through each module at least once since I understand that not everyone has time and based on your performance in the diagnostics, focus on your weak areas that are thankfully displayed on the TTP dashboard. It took a while, but I was finally able to score above a 700 and I owe my thanks to TTP.

Final Score 710; Q49; V38
