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.

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.
