Hi Everyone!
In my 2nd attempt of GMAT, I scored 690, a 90 point improvement from my 1st attempt which was based mainly on self-preparation. After my 1st attempt, I realised the need for a more structured way of preparation which is when I came across the e-GMAT free trial. I really loved the way their course was designed and immediately signed up for the Online focused prep. A detailed review of each section -

Quant - Since I was familiar with the basic concepts of quant, the PACE time saving method was really effective in helping me identify the basic modules that I could skip. The concept + test based method of preparation actually instilled confidence after every topic. The questions from e-GMAT might seem more difficult than those from the official guide, however, one should solve these questions as it thoroughly clears your basic concepts and improves your speed drastically. However, "Word Problems" was the only section where I felt that the solutions were extremely lengthy and this approach could not be practically used in the exam.

Verbal - The meaning based approach for SC and pre-thinking approach for CR were a game changer. I initially took some time to get comfortable with these methods, which late on fared me well. Plus, the cementing quiz after each section gave a fair picture of my time bound performance and the extra-efforts that I needed to put to ace the topics. Also, the last mile program with a dedicated mentor helped me understand my weaknesses at a granular level and build strategies around them.

Lastly, I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly impressive. The Sigma-X mocks were very much in line with the kind of/level of questions one might encounter in the exam. The mocks actually helped me hone my time management skills, and fine-tune my strategies around each question type.

All the best to everyone!

I used TTP course as my only preparation for the GMAT (without considering the official practice exams)

I found TTP's course structure easy to follow, and removed the mental stress to figure out my own course structure, I could dedicate my whole time to study.

As for the content, I think both Quant and Verbal are tought brilliantly, the course curriculum covers everything you need to know for the GMAT, the explanations are very clear, and the questions resemble the GMAT perfectly, when I took the practice tests/offical test I din't feel any difference vs the TTP questions.

Overall, I am very happy with my TTP experience and would definately reccomend to anyone looking to get an excellent GMAT score

My experience with e-gmat was good for the most part.
I personally had great potential, though, untapped, and e-gmat helped me utilise my strengths efficiently and minimise my weaknesses.
My Quant was phenomenal even before, however, the concept files gave a lot of conceptual clarity.
My verbal performance was a zig-zag line, thus, indicating conceptual gaps. I was able to consistently get better and better. Various live sessions and lectures helped a great deal as I was able to progressively identify and correct my mistakes or fill in conceptual gaps.
However, some issues I faced included the selection of the question bank. I found many questions with conflicting and closely related answer choices missing the whole question setting method of GMAT which specifically rejects closely related answer choices.

I came into the program with already a solid GMAT score but I was hoping to use the program to get a truly exceptional score. I knew completing the last mile would require a considerable amount of effort since it's a lot easier to go from 600-720 than 720-760. The TTP program reinforced my fundamentals in basic math and grammar, as well as teaching me useful methods to break down more advanced questions. I feel like after going through the program, there's no limit on how high I can score on the GMAT exam. I've gotten perfect scores on each section for my mock exams. It's just about bringing everything together and executing on test day.

Hello everyone!
I took the GMAT in July 2023 and scored a 760 (Q49, V44). This was my second attempt and had a 50-point improvement from my previous score of 710 (Q49, V38).

With a strong quantitative background as an engineer, I confidently handled strategies and time management for the quant section. However, the verbal section posed a challenge. Despite grasping grammar concepts for SC and the structure of CR questions, I struggled with accuracy. I was keen on exploring strategies online to improve my accuracy. That's when I discovered the eGMAT workshops before my first attempt. The meaning-based approach (SC) and pre-thinking (CR) strategies stood out as highly beneficial.

Unfortunately, time constraints prevented me from fully implementing these strategies in my initial attempt. So while choosing a new prep material, eGMAT was a no-brainer. Having exhausted the OG guides in my first attempt, I sought a fresh set of questions to refine my strategy. The 2-month GMAT Intensive course not only met but exceeded my expectations, playing a crucial role in my achievement of a 760. The personalized study plan and test analysis with Mansi from eGMAT proved invaluable in structuring my study schedule for the next two months.

I found the Scholaranium and the Sigma-X mock tests to be particularly noteworthy. The sectional tests, with adjustable topic and difficulty filters, were invaluable for refining my approach to different GMAT question types. Utilizing this option significantly contributed to enhancing both my accuracy and speed, resulting in a notable 6-point improvement in my verbal score
The mock tests accurately simulated the GMAT exam environment, enabling me to hone my time management skills and build confidence. The detailed performance analytics helped me identify areas for further refinement, allowing me to fine-tune my preparation strategy as needed.

Overall, eGMAT’s strategies and question banks proved invaluable in boosting my GMAT score significantly. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a comprehensive and effective GMAT preparation experience.


Here are some tips GMAT prep:

DO NOT BLINDLY SOLVE THE QUESTIONS. A crucial lesson from my experience is that the quantity of questions solved does not necessarily correlate with exam performance. Whether you solve a few or many questions, conduct a thorough analysis of the solutions, regardless of whether you answered correctly. Extracting shortcuts and key insights from these analyses will significantly enhance accuracy and substantially reduce the time needed.

ENSURE THAT YOU PRACTICE YOUR APPROACH/STATEGY TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF QUESTIONS. In the majority of GMAT questions, eliminating 3 out of 5 options is often straightforward. However, when faced with the final two options, selecting the correct one demands the right strategy. Each question type requires a distinct approach, so delve into each category and familiarize yourself with the application of your techniques.


All the best to everyone attempting the exam.

took a 1 month plan to improve on my Verbal score which was 38 and 35 in my two attempts and after spending 1 month on their portal I got a V31. The portal is good but the support and the course material are not good for someone at 70% in all CR, SC and RC as when you have all three at this level the data fails as it will ask you to do all the course work and that will be impossible to do in 1 month with work commitments.
regarding the support- I am not sure about other companies on how they communicate with their students but E-Gmat only do it via mail and that too is in 24 hrs, which will not work if you have your deadline in just one month.

I gave my GMAT FE on the 12th of December 2023, scoring 665 with Q90, V81 & DI 78. I used e-GMAT's course for the exam preparation. I took 2 months to prep for the exam. Some notes on the overall experience:

1. Quant:
I am an engineering undergrad working in finance, so I was confident in my quant skills. However, Hard quant questions can lead to time-drain if you do not know some essential tricks to solve the question faster or eliminate wrong answer choices. So, if you are starting at a higher ability in quant, revising these tricks can increase confidence by improving time management. I referred to e-GMAT's course materials / videos for these and practised some Medium and Hard questions from the OG. Overall in the actual exam, I solved all questions with 7mins to spare. I reviewed all answer choices but was confident in most. Thankfully, I got all the questions correct.

2. Verbal:
I dedicated 50-60% of my prep time to this section. e-GMAT's materials were helpful and their Question Bank (Scholaranium) is quite advanced. I learned techniques like Pre-thinking and honed my skills through their Cementing and Ability quizzes. However, I could not attempt all the questions in the Scholaranium or the OG due to the short 2-month prep time. I made a few consecutive mistakes in the exam which led to an 81/90.

3. Data Insights:
What a tricky section! Not sure if I was a bit exhausted since I came to this section after Q and V or if the section itself was tricky. Anyway, for DI, I had some familiarity with the different question types (TPA, MSR, DS, etc) in the section but struggled a lot with time management. I think I guessed the last 2 questions in the exam. Due to the no-partial-credit nature of the questions, time-drain is common for questions which you know you can get right. e-GMAT has a lot of DI questions in their Scholaranium and the course materials. I took this section up at the end of my prep and kind of hurried through it since I thought Q and V skills were transferrable to this section [not an excuse for the score ;) ].

eGMAT provides a comprehensive GMAT preparation program with excellence in various aspects. In the Quantitative skills domain, the course ensures a thorough understanding of concepts, fostering holistic learning and skill advancement. For those proficient in Quant, P.A.C.E. learning helps pinpoint weaknesses, saving valuable prep time.

In Critical Reasoning, eGMAT employs a pre-thinking approach, serving as an effective strategy that guarantees consistent results by systematically eliminating answer choices. The mentorship support from eGMAT is invaluable during critical moments and proves highly beneficial during revisions. I recommend reaching out to the eGMAT team for mentorship, enhancing the overall learning experience.

A standout feature of eGMAT is its Data Insights (DI) section, marked by in-depth exploration, real-world application, diverse problem sets, and the cultivation of analytical thinking. This specialized focus not only equips you with technical skills but also readies you for handling complex data scenarios in real-world applications. eGMAT's comprehensiveness positions it as a standalone resource, eliminating the need for additional study materials and making it a valuable asset for GMAT preparation.

This resource significantly contributed to enhancing both my Quant and Verbal skills, along with improving my DI scores, ultimately leading to the achievement of a score of 695.

TTP is an amazing program. It provides guidance not only on which subjects to study but also on how to study these subjects. Before using TTP, I was misguided on the level of proficiency I needed to achieve my desired score. I was unsure of my study plan and its effectiveness, and this uncertainty led me to doubt myself even though I was studying diligently. Having a tailored plan from the TTP experts gave me confidence that I was on the path to success.

TTP includes everything from easy-to-follow instruction and question breakdowns to non-content related prep, such as how to address test anxiety and how to think about question timing. I used other prep materials in the past, but TTP by far was the most effective for me.
