I am simply not a math person. English, yes. I was an English major and a prolific reader so I was not overly concerned with the verbal section of th GMAT. Math, on the other hand... I have done well in math courses but always struggled in math standardized testing. So, I was already dreading the quant section of the GMAT from the get go.

Though I had attempted to start studying in 2016, I was not yet motivated enough to take it seriously and quickly stopped. I began studying again in March 2017 once I had MBA programs in mind. I went through the OG guides, solved every problem, sat the exam in mid-August, and ultimately scored a disappointing Q31.

At this point I reached out to Scott at Target Test Prep and he calmed me down and set me on a path to success. I restarted the Targe Test Prep quant course and this time finished every module and every exam, all with continued encouragement from Scott and Jeff.

I sat the exam again in December and scored a Q44. I never would have been able to get there without Scott and the team at Target Test Prep. I highly recommend the course, not just for how comprehensive and beautifully designed it is, but for the human touch Scott and Jeff bring.

I have always been dreaded by verbal section of the GMAT as most other non-native speakers do. To begin with my preparation I took an official GMAT PREP mock and ended up with V23. I knew this would happen as verbal has been my weak area. I started my preparation by going through MGMAT Strategy guides and after going through all the guides I knew all the rules and have memorized them. I thought I was all ready and gave the second MOCK and scored V22. I was devastated and felt that I am never going to crack verbal and left the hope of achieving a 700 score.

However, I came across GMAT club forum then and I found many positive reviews about e-GMATs course. I was initially skeptical about the reviews and thought its not going to help me anyways and I will just be losing some amount of money buying the course.

However, I thought I will give it a try and that's the best thing that I did as part of my preparation. Although, the MGMAT guides also covered most of the things, going through the e-GMAT content was very easy. The terminology used is plain and simple.

I would specially like to emphasize on SC, the meaning approach has changed the way I choose an answer and how non-underlined portion also plays an important role in determining the answer. I learned that its mandatory to read the entire SC sentence irrespective of the underlined section to be able to comprehend and answer the questions correctly. Especially the modifiers section of SC have been explained in great detail which was very tough for me initially.

CR Pre-thinking has similarly played an amazing role in being able to select answers without any ambiguity.
The RC 7 strategies when applied have given great results.

All in all I would say anyone who is facing issues tackling verbal can undoubtedly take up e-GMAT course and if you follow the approach taught by them, you can see a drastic improvement in your verbal score.

I am going to take my GMAT on FEB 10 and am happy that I took the e-GMAT course and would love to share my success story after I crack the GMAT.

Happy Learning and All the Best!!

This is hands down the perfect course if you are struggling with quant (or suspect that you will struggle) for the GMAT. It is extremely thorough, comprehensive and detailed for you to gain confidence solving every single problem you can encounter on the GMAT. I liked the structure in which they make you master each section/type of problem before going to the next. That really allowed me to be confident in each section and that percolated to test day.

Beyond serving as the best practice tool I encountered, it also ideal to learn concepts from zero, or help with concepts you might have been struggling with. For example, I was really bad at Combinations and Permutations, but after TTP it was one of my strongest areas, the same with Geometry. The videos are detailed enough for you to easily understand and master the skills needed for each type of problem regardless of your level of expertise.

In summary, this is the only course I'd recommend for quant and would save any potential candidate lots of time and money to start their quant training with TTP. Plus, Jeff and Scot were always helpful answering any questions (academic or test related) I had during the process. TTP is 100% worth your money and more importantly your time.

Hey guys. I'm sure you've all had the opportunity to perform much needed due diligence on all the various test prep offerings on the market. I have as well - and to be honest, I've tried it all. I began my GMAT studies with courses such as MGMAT, and later even tried out the Economist GMAT review. However - none of these courses were as comprehensive for the Quant section of the exam as TTP was! TTP's curriculum taught me to think more critically - Within a day, I was already rewiring my thinking process. I was looking for patterns, cues in the question stem and no longer simply just "solving the problem".

Additionally, I highly recommend the private tutoring sessions with Jeff if can make the commitment. I have tried private tutoring sessions with other test prep services, but none of them were as effective as the format, and pedagogy of my sessions with Jeff. Instead of many "Q&A sessions" that I had been previously accustomed to, Jeff threw me in the deep end every single session and tested my true knowledge of the material. Every session was spent effectively drilling down a specific topic, until it was near mastery.

Finally, I improved my quant score from a 45 to a 49. No
One can help you obtain the score that you want/need. However, the right tools can make or break your chances for success.

I’ve been using e-GMAT’s Quant Live Prep for ~3 months now and have seen a drastic improvement in my accuracy (from 60 to 80%). Their coveted scholaranium, remains the best tool available in the market to track your performance. It is hands down the sole reason why I recommend e-gmat to almost everyone who’s starting their gmat journey. I’ve reached out to Payal multiple times for both verbal and math(more often than not) for strategy rather than concept (which are anyway very well explained through videos) and her advice at each point has helped me refine my strategy. Fingers crossed for D-day and best of luck to those who’re sailing in the same boat.

I am writing to share my recent experience with GMAT. I have been trying to do well in GMAT for a long time. Quant is my weakest side in GMAT. In my first attempt in August 2014, I scored Q39 in quant. After that I didn’t get back to GMAT for a long time. On August 2017, I decided to take the test again. I started my preparation and buy a online prep course from EGMAT. On December 2017, I took the test and scored Q47 in quant. I am very happy and thankful to EGMAT for helping me in improving my quant score. There are few things which helped me a lot.

• Systematic Approach: 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 concept files also let me remember the important theories.
• Similar to Official questions: In my first attempt, I practiced a lot of unofficial question which let my ability down. However, EGMAT’s practice questions are similar to the official GMAT questions which helped me to get more familiar with the concepts that GMAT actually tests.
• Advance Topics: In GMAT, Permutation & Combinations, Probabilities and Sets problems are advance topics. I had really a poor understanding in those areas. EGMAT laid out those concepts in a very nice way so that anyone can learn them easily. I saw a lot of improvements in those advance topics after taking the course.
• Scholaranium: Scholaranium is a tool an EGMAT where you can take practice tests in a timed environment. In addition, it also gives the detail analytics about each test. It helped me in different ways. First of all, it helped to prepare myself in an exam environment. I made sure that I could answer the question within the time. Moreover, it also helped me to look at the areas where I needed improvement. In addition, it also helped me to prepare myself to take the Mock properly so that I didn’t get surprised after taking the Mock.
These are the main areas where I got help from EGMAT course. I am going to take the test one more time and planning to set a target of Q49 this time. I will highly suggest to people who are struggling with quant to take the EGMAT quant course and see the difference in their performance.

The whole experience of learning for the Verbal Segment with E-Gmat was very good. Shraddha's classes were par excellence.
She took the extra time to ensure all concepts were clearly understood by all the attendees. Post the classes, her explanations to any unresolved query were also very good.
The other segments of the Verbal Prep are very good and do help in the overall preparation for the GMAT.
Format of Scholaranium also helps to keep a track of your improvement as the course progress.
After going through the live classes, I could grasp the concepts of SC much faster. I found at myself at ease particularly in Bold Faced Questions.
Also, the methodology with regards to understanding a CR question is far superior to that followed in various guides,
Kudos to the team at E-GMAT for creating such a tool.

I am over the moon after pressing that final submit button on my GMAT test just a few weeks ago. After signing up for the test months ago, I had no idea where to begin studying. I opted for the free trials to a few of the programs out there, but after checking out Target Test Prep, I knew I found the course I needed to help me work specifically on Quant. I have a background in a reading/research/writing intensive field, so I didn't feel like I needed as much help in the Verbal section, but have not taken a math class since 2005. After going through all of the lessons and problems on TTP, I was able to go from a decade without math, to scoring a 47! Thanks Target Test Prep!

Verbal Online by e-GMAT is the best online course especially for non-natives. The course material is excellent & has a unique approach to cracking the verbal section. The course teaches you to crack the verbal using a well-defined and easy process. This is the key differentiator over other courses. CR course with emphasis on logical structure, pre-thinking and techniques like ABC test, negation test, variance test is very strategic & helped me to tackle most difficult CR passages with ease & save a lot of time too. The 3-step process in SC is an eye-opener. Understanding the meaning of the sentence & applying the steps in the right way I was able to reduce the time I take to solve each SC question. The RC section helps you to break down any complex passage and solve them with ease. I even upgraded to a Verbal Live Prep after taking this course. I would highly recommend e-GMAT to anyone who wants to crack the verbal section in GMAT.

Hi ,

I have enrolled in e-gmat study plan after an unsuccessful stint at GMAT exam in 2017 . I used the standard Manhattan and OG for the prep , but somehow i couldn't figure out the right way to grasp and internalize the concepts .
I heard about e-gmat from the forums and the feedback people gave about it on the meaning based approach and its interactive course . I am not done with GMAT yet but i already love the course work skeleton which was built up . Its video based teaching approach some how attracted me and i was able to grasp concepts with ease , the way payal explains each concept also has been very helpful . Hopefully , this time I will close with a good Verbal score .
