I had about 7 weeks to study for the GMAT (a lot less time than I wanted, but I had upcoming deadlines and other responsibilities), and I definitely don’t consider myself a quant person. I took a practice GMAT and scored a 560, which was depressing, but it gave me a baseline to work from.

I initially tried the MGMAT books but felt that they lacked an interactive, multi-sensory component, so I dropped that in favor of Magoosh. Though I think Magoosh is an interesting program, it basically just throws example after example at you in the form of videos, and I don’t think the concepts get reinforced.

Frustrated, I decided to look at reviews on BeatTheGMAT and GMATClub, and that’s where I first heard of TTP (the reviews were quite compelling). Since they offered a free trial, I decided to give it a chance. At first, I was overwhelmed with just how massive the study plan is, but I quickly realized that the program is setup extremely methodically, from the very basics of addition all the way through to every testable concept on the quant section. The provided quick study notes and the 15 page formula guide were fantastic additions that helped reinforce the concepts of each chapter.

About halfway through my studying, I realized that there were still gaps in some of my foundational knowledge, so I hired Jeff, one of the heads of TTP, to do a couple of extended tutoring sessions. He was able to reinforce some of the concepts I was struggling with and exposed others that I thought I knew well — in reality, I had comprehension gaps in several areas, and Jeff pushed me hard to dig deeper and really understand the concepts in and out.

I decided to push my test back by a week and dug even deeper to give my all to studying. I took the test on the last possible day before an international work trip, and I was stunned to receive a 670… in less than 2 months, I’d improved my score more than 100 points!

Ultimately, I got in to Darden’s GEMBA program with a scholarship, and I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to TTP and Jeff for taking me from completely quant-naive to confident in such a short period of time. I wholeheartedly recommend both TTP and Jeff.

EGMAT has a systematic approach to teach the concepts, to provide basic application question and then to provide advance practice question. This helped to learn and improve my accuracy. The audio visual aids helped me remember concepts .The Scholaranium is a perfect tool to provide the GMAT exam experience Moreover, it also helped me to look at the areas where I needed improvement .The different approaches to algebra and the concepts of P&C has made it easier for me to understand .
I am planning to take GMAT in a month and I highly recommend it to everyone that e-gmat quant's structured approach is going to help you increase your score .

E-GMAT is a very well-structured online GMAT course. I purchased verbal live online course by recommendation of my friend who was able to improve his verbal score from V31-V32 to V40.
As a non-native English speaking student, I found that verbal section of GMAT was very difficult especially SC which was my greatest weakness. After I finished SC course, I was very impressed by detailed explanations on most tested topics in SC. It made me realized that I had overlooked some important concepts in my previous preparation. Moreover, E-GMAT 3-step solving approach was very practical in the real practice test. It helped me improving my verbal score on practice test significantly.
Another challenge for me was time allocation for GMAT preparation. As a consultant, I normally work for 10 hours on average each day. However, with E-GMAT platform, I was able to access to my lesson or take a quick concept quiz via my smart phone during my trip from home to work.
In overall, I would recommend E-GMAT course to those non-native speakers who wish to excel in verbal sections. Good luck on your GMAT journey!

I originally signed up for e-GMAT primarily for the SC course based on its reputation for having great SC concepts, but I ended up finding out that the other two courses were equally as helpful. The pre-quizzes before each concept gave me a good indication of how prepared I was for each concept, but I discovered that the concept files provided very good explanations of the fundamental rules of grammar and sentence construction. The quizzes at the end of each concept file allowed me to test and solidify my understanding of the lessons I had just completed. 

I found the Manhattan Prep SC to provide me a solid foundation, but the e-GMAT course solidified the concepts and provided with different tricks and shortcuts that other courses did not fully implement.

Although the SC course was my main reason for signing up, I ended up trying out the CR portion as well since I had also used the PowerScore CR Bible, but I kept struggling in applying certain concepts properly.

I scored relatively lower on most CR quizzes for quite some time, but the pre-thinking concept as well as the concept on identifying the conclusions allowed me to focus on the important portions were most assumptions come from. Once you patiently apply pre-thinking steps avoid rushing through each questions, you can answer solutions accurately and quickly, allowing you to spend more time on RC passages, which can take up most of your time. 

I originally was scoring in the low 30s despite having studied Manhattan SC and PowerScore CR, but the concepts and strategies from e-GMAT helped me identify wrong questions quickly to find the correct answer and my scored have increased up to low 40s.

I strongly advise going through the concept files multiple times even if you score highly since certain concepts are tougher to master and you may forget how to apply them since they are not naturally engrained in your mindset.

I recommend going through the concepts in order especially the CR portion since it is important to master identifying conclusions to be able to infer, and it is important to learn inference questions to allow you to pre-think for assumptions.

Although it is recommended to skip certain answer explanations if you got them right, I highly recommend going through the explanations that e-GMAT provides since most of the times many questions can have multiple assumptions you don't necessarily notice or you may have gotten a question right by chance and not by proper techniques.

I also think going through the CR portion before the RC portion helps since many RC questions are based on inference and assumptions skills that you can master in the CR portion.

Make sure to use both the Scholaranium and the OG questions to test out your skills since both these sources provide the most similar types of questions that you will see on the real test.

I strongly recommend signing up for e-GMAT since many courses have good material and provide you with most of the information the GMAT tests, but e-GMAT Verbal shows you the best way to answer questions efficiently. I will be taking the GMAT once again in April and will post my results from results..

One of my colleagues referred me to Magoosh for GRE prep. I really liked the format of the website, questions, online support and video explanations. So when magoosh offered 78USD sale for GMAT I jumped and took it. My score before taking magoosh was at 580. My confidence was very low at that time. Magoosh blogs and videos helped me to rebuild the confidence.
The course material for Magoosh premium subscription consists of a video lectures for all topics then followed by more than 1000-1500 questions for quant and verbal arranged in the order of difficulty. Each question is supported with the text and video explanation. I personally liked the option to choose the number, type and difficulty of questions. This helped me to time my preparation. Magoosh is a best and affordable resource that someone who is starting their GMAT preparation should consider using it. Most of my basic concepts for SC & math are built solely by magoosh video lectures. The online support for questions was awesome, the responses were well rounded and quick. Even when I put dumbest of the questions, I get a relevant response.
So Magoosh is a great resource. Go for it.

I had taken the GMAT for the first time in September 2017. After having prepared for 3 months incessantly with a demanding job in Private Equity, i was scoring a modest 690 on my mock tests. I come from a convent school and have decent command over English language. Thus, I primarily studied from the Manhattan series (which is regarded as the holy bible for Verbal and thought that would be enough to crack the Verbal section. Being an engineer, Quant was never a struggle for me and i was scoring a consistent Q49 on my mock tests. This was going to be my first attempt and i was confident that i could get a decent score with this level of preparation. However, the GMAT taught me a lesson and showed how much i underestimated the test and especially the verbal section.
I scored a mere 640 on the actual exam and realized just how different the Verbal section was from what i had been practicing during my mocks. The GMAT tests very specific skills for the Verbal section. The meaning is of essence and not just the Grammar. I had focused only on the grammar rules during my preparation. At the same time i realised that the course material i used for practicing the Verbal section was far from what the actual questions were on the GMAT.
I was extremely confused about my strategy for prparation for the next attempt. More so because i had exhausted all the material - Kaplan, Veritas, Manhattan, OGs, in my previous preparation. This is when my friend recommended e-GMAT to me and i cant thank him enough. e-GMAT gave me a structure approach to tackling the Verbal section. Kudos to their support team for being so prompt and from the time i made my purchase they have been extremely helpful in guiding me through my preparation. Not only is the course content exhaustive, the approach to teaching the videos is simple yet detailed. The feature i love the most apart from the scholaranium of course, is the detailed explanation of each question and the trailing QandA. Reviewing the trailing QandA helped me understand what are the areas where one can go wrong and how to avoid those. Also, having answered GMAT once, i am now certain that e-GMAT's verbal section comes closest to the type of questions on actual test and difficulty level of the Verbal section.
I have been now getting a consistent 39-40 on my Verbal in mock tests. My next attempt is scheduled in June 2018 and i am hopeful that i can make it to my desired score this time around with the help of e-GMAT.

I took a 9-session, live online course with Stacey Koprince and Brian Birdwell at Manhattan Prep. They are FANTASTIC. Not only are they subject matter experts, but they are engaging and bring the material to life. Moreover, they made themselves available to answer my questions and always responded promptly, day or night.

While there are many GMAT instructors out there, one of the things that really differentiates Stacey and Brian is their ability to provide tailored guidance to people in all score ranges. When I started out my scores were in the mid-600s. By the end of my preparation, I was scoring in the high-700s. They were able to provide me with foundational tools and guidance that were vital to breaking the 700-barrier and test strategy that helped me reach the upper-700s. Without their guidance, I never would have reached these milestones.

The bottom line is Manhattan is a great test prep company and Stacey and Brian are two of the best. If you are serious about test prep (and you wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t) I HIGHLY recommend using their services. If is one the best investments you can make.

First of all i would like to congratulate all the educators of e-gmat that they are teaching the students and guiding them to right path.
Egmat properly guide students who really need to learn from scratch.
As always said nobody can reach everest in one day or ROME was not build in one day.
This course gradually builds your concepts and convert your weak points to strong points.
How this works?
First the conceptional video will help you to learn the basics and then you have to take the practice quiz (which is MUST to hone your quant skill). this quiz will build you more confident in applying concepts.
As we know GMAT is NOT A MUGGING exam. Its not that you learn the formula and start hitting the questions.
But, you should have solid understanding for the applications of the concepts that are mentioned in GMAT syllabus.
After this quiz , you will have chance to practice OG questions under time bound conditions. this will help you to be more self-assured. After that you can take assessment quiz which will tell you where you stand overall.
This part is my fav as this helps me a lot in knowing my weak and strong points. The Quant Online is not a course meant to be just get done with. It is designed in a way to make sure that you remember the concepts for times to come. I have been able to complete the course and during my practice sessions, keeping a score stable.
Even if you have any doubts , just go through forum or write your query. believe me they revert you within 48 hours. it means each student for them is valuable and paying close attention to his/her queries.

HATS OFF to team to have such a unique and best software that precisely measures your skills.

The questions that this team builds seems more related to Official questions that helps you more to be ease with application of process.
the best part of course is animation videos that doesn't make you feel bore. Moreover, if you are night owl and after work you are tired, i seriously suggest this course as it builds interest and makes you less sleepy in solving questions late night :).

Last but not least,Scholaranium will help you gauge precisely the areas of strengths and weaknesses and that too at a comminuted level. Because of this, you will know precisely where to focus your efforts on in the days leading up to the test.
in addition to perfect Scholaranium , Looking forward for CAT quizes also under this course soon :)

Pick up the tab in building these concepts with reference to right kind of practice material from the OG and Quant Review (stick to the official material). And get ready for D-DAY.

Special thanks for quant team for making me equanimous in solving hard questions with such a fantabulous course.

ALL THE BEST E-GMAT TEAM.
My wishes are with you and keep growing ........... :)

I'm a good test taker, but tried to study on my own the first time around and scored a 690, much below my goal of 730. I then sought a tutor and was put in touch with Target Test Prep/Jeff Miller.

After 4 months of working through the TTP Quant Flex program, I was scoring in the mid 700s on practice tests. I really contribute my improvement to 1) how comprehensive the quant course was -- it really forces you to learn each chapter and ingrains the information into your memory and 2) my tutoring sessions with Jeff, in which he introduced me to challenging questions that often came up on my practice tests/the real test, and helped explain solutions in ways that weren't conveyed through textbooks/courses.

Although due to the adaptive nature of the test, it didn't necessarily feel easier to me while taking it, my significantly higher scores after getting through the quant program were proof of how much I had learned and my improved ability to recognize and confidently solve a wide variety of problems. I would definitely recommend taking the Flex course supplemented with tutoring sessions from Jeff to focus on your weaknesses.

I was lacking in a suitable strategy . I was following raw methods . For sentence correction , I never understood the meaning of the sentence. With the 3 step strategy of egmat I could comfortably solve tough questions in decent time . How ever , there. was some problem with the videos and I had to oft en reload . Interactive questions helped to learn concepts effectively. Initially I took lot of time in learning the strategy . As I moved to the sectional tests , I started gaining momentum . Don’t concentrate on timing in the beginning . All concepts were not videos and few were in the form of articles
