I am yet to appear for my GMAT, but the resources of E-GMAT are very comprehensive and up to date.
The focus of the course never shifts away from the core understanding of the concepts which is the most important part in the preparation. The design of the course takes care of the understanding and the sequence you should follow for your preparation and you can trust it and follow it without worrying about a separate plan for your prep. Make sure you never miss out on the detailed explanations even when you answer the choice correctly as doing this will make sure you take best possible approach.

The free resources and webinars are a plus which give you a snapshot of their live programs. Due to time and other constraints I would highly recommend it to fellow colleagues who want to max their score in the best way possible.

Best of luck to anyone who finds this review helpful.

I am really very grateful to the e-GMAT team in coming up with such a comprehensive program for every section of the GMAT exam. I had tried every prep book one could find in the market -kaplan,manhattan ,veritas etc and was still struggling to improve my score beyond V36 and Q48. I felt though i had hit a wall and could not break it. My best friend had taken this course and got a 730 in his GMAT and that's how i came to know about e-GMAT and my colleague scored a 740 after studying from e-GMAT for just a month. So I thought that since i have tried so many preps,i might as well give this a shot. I had no idea what a amazing ride i would be having for the next 2 months exploring each and every nook and corner of this thorough program. I had initially had bought only the Verbal live course but within a week i bought the rest of the courses as well. I feel e-GMAT gave me hope , and i am sure there are thousand of students like me out there. For students like me hard work is not a problem but finding proper guidance is. While watching each and every course video on e-GMAT, solving the problems given in the course list and sticking to a plan creating by e-GMAT i felt my standard improve slowly but surely. In fact i was actually surprised to see my I.R score improve as well after following e-GMAT's approach - this is something i did not even consider focusing on ! I would like to mention Shraddha ma'am especially for helping me out with S.C questions. After i gave the GMAT prep practice test i used to post the troublesome questions on the forum and she used to take time and answer each one of them patiently . In fact there was a time when she actually found a pattern in my mistakes that came as a surprise to me. From then I stared enjoying working on S.C as a result and always score in the 90% since then. Another aspect of e-GMAT i would like to point out is the Scholaranium. I am depended on this tool so much that i rarely touched the practice questions from Gmat prep. It is the BEST tool out there for GMAT preparations! My skills improved to such an extent that i started finding silly mistakes even in the correct answer option of the actual GMAT test prep tool - this is documented on e-
GMAT's form. I cannot thank Rajat and his team enough in giving hope to me.

Regards,
Gibran

The e-GMAT course has been one of the best resources to have for the GMAT preparation.

The verbal course explains the steps in details which are very useful to understand the GMAT question patterns & get habituated with the exam strategies.

The explanation to the questions are very useful & helps in examining the mistakes & correct them.

Provides a very well structured study plan with concepts and quizzes for each section. (This may be useful for anyone who lacks discipline)
It comes with free mock exams that can generate performance analytical reports.

The eGMAT course is so well explained that I helps me to clarify lot of my doubts in SC,CR and RC.
I will recommend each GMAT aspirant to enroll for this course and try to follow the approach taught here. This will definitely help you to improve your performance.

Hello everyone,

I am happy to write that I have managed to cross the 700 mark and scored 710 on my GMAT recently. I got a Q48,V39 ,IR5, AWA6.

To all the people who are just starting or in the middle of the preparations-

1. Please don't waste valuable time in reading multiple opinions on multiple forums. Everyone goes through a different experience and it's difficult to generalise anything here.

2. Please make quick and informed decisions and stick to them. With multiple resources , it gets difficult to decide but try to stick to the official material as much as possible.

3. E-Gmat review- great resource for verbal. I can't thank them enough for creating this. I almost wasted 2 months struggling with free resources to no use but then I decided to use e-GMAT. The entire course is very well planned and organised. Verbal is perfect. Quant is decent. Anybody who wishes to start from scratch should look into their module. Overall, very positive about the product.

4. People, preparing for GMAT is tough, but please don't spend all your energy and time into it. Please plan ahead of your time. There is no denying that a great GMAT score can do wonders but let's not forget that writing applications is the major part of the process. Save ample time for it.

5. Please seek professional help if you are finding it difficult to organise things. Small investments in the beginning save you a lot of time and effort towards the end.

6. EXCERCISE!

Laat but not the least, don't forget the bigger picture. Stay calm and focussed! Good luck. :)

My first attempt at the GMAT was after using Kaplan's GMAT 800: Advanced Prep for Advanced Students book. I found it to be helpful with verbal, but the quant section was somewhat lacking.

Taking the GMAT for the second time, I wanted to place more focus on the quant section. A friend referred Target Test Prep after using it for the GRE. I signed up in September but didn't start studying until early/mid October. I would study for about 5-10 hours a week dependent on my schedule.

I loved the interface and detailed explanations for every question. Having the option to review easy, medium and hard questions also helped me gauge how well I understood the lesson. The structure of the material also follows a very logical path and the dashboard clearly shows your progress throughout the course. At first I went through every lesson and quiz, but as the test got closer I started to focus only on the lessons that were indicated as weak areas on my diagnostic test (which is also a great feature to have).

The week of the GMAT I did a few of the larger review tests. An important aspect of my score below is that I did not review verbal at all (outside of 2 full length tests) between the two dates I took the GMAT.

My goal for this second test was to break 700. I needed to feel more confident going into the test and effectively use my time the day of. TTP delivered on both fronts. While my quant score increased less than my verbal did, (Q44-47, V37-42) I wouldn't have gotten a 720 without TTP. I started off with the quant section and felt far more relaxed this time around. Moving into Verbal knowing quant was behind me (and likely better than my first GMAT) was a huge asset and my confidence only grew. I am very happy with my score and would encourage anyone who wants a thorough amount of of practice questions, quizzes and lessons to use TTP.

This course is great for anyone who wants to really deep dive into the underlying math concepts tested on the GMAT. I spent about 2 months to complete all of the chapters and approximately 1500 practice problems. I used other test prep as well but nothing came close to really "dumbing" down the math concepts for me as well as Target did. I will say that Target isn't the best for teaching test-taking strategies for the GMAT, but it is a great program to complete before doing other test prep so you have a solid foundation of quant knowledge before learning how to guess and improve timing.

I really loved how TTP prepared me for the quant section of the GMAT. I hadn't studied most of the math-related coursework for 6-7 years, and I was concerned that I had forgotten many of the basic concepts that I needed to get through the GMAT quant section. TTP helped me go from a quant score of 46 to 50 by helping me relearn those basics in a comprehensive, easy-to-digest format.

TTP's teaching methods were more comprehensive than some of the other at-home courses I had tried. I really valued the opportunity to do all the learning on my own, while also having TTP staff on hand to help via chat/phone whenever I needed. Overall, it's a great service that I couldn't recommend more highly for someone trying to brush up on old quant skills before the GMAT!

I scored a 47 in Quant on my first try. I wanted to improve to a 49-50 and won a 4 month course in Quant from the GMAT subreddit. I used this course throughout my prep for my second try and found it very helpful. The lessons are arranged neatly and the quizzes are beneficial if you want a quick review of a particular topic. Also, they're very personal and reach out to you personally if you need any help and even ask you how you did after the exam. I'd definitely recommend if you're thinking about an online course. If you're looking for that extra push in Quant, go for this one!

I want to share my GMAT experience. I come from Georgia and live in a city where very few people know what the GMAT is. So when I decided to prepare, I had no materials, resources or someone who can give a good advice. I started to research some information and of course, I found GMAT Club and BEAT THE GMAT. I started using their resources, but still I felt that I needed some additional support for my study. I accidentally found e-gmat free trial and I constantly loved it. My first video was about verb-ed and verb-ing modifiers. I had no idea of these topics before e-gmat. I liked the free trial very much and decided to purchase Verbal course and several weeks later, I also purchased Quant course.

E-gmat has brilliant verbal course. Its videos are very informative and easy to understand. In SC, before e-gmat, I only focused on grammar error and never thought about the meaning. But after I went through e-gmat SC course, first I focused on the meaning and then on grammar. In CR, I loved the pre-thinking method. At first, it was really hard for me to pre-think the assumptions, but time by time I begin to pre-think before going to answer choices. The best part of e-gmat course was scholarinium. It is an incredible tool to practice, assess and see your performance. I also loved that the questions were divided in three parts: easy, medium and hard.

I also used Quant course. I always loved math and I thought I won’t have a problem in Quant section. But still I had some gaps in Quant and that’s why I bought e-gmat course. The best thing in Quant course is scholaranium. It has a very big pool of questions with incredible explanations. From questions, I learned different math rules and tricks. I also liked the question types (easy, medium, hard and very hard). Very hard questions were really VERY HARD and most of the time impossible to answer in two minutes, but these questions deepened my understanding of concepts.

So what happened to Exam Day? I thought I controlled my nervous, but I was wrong. I was very nervous. And it very much affected my score. I scored 660(Q48, V34).

Here’s my advice to avoid mistakes that I made:
• e-gmat verbal course was very helpful, but I found hard to transfer theory in practice. So practice and practice the way e-gmat suggests!
• LEARN YOU MISTAKES – I didn’t focus very effectively on my mistakes. I devoted little time to explore them deeply.
• Control your emotion – no quant or verbal understanding will guide you to your target score if you are unable to control your nerves. It is a very stressful environment and do your best to stay calm.

At the beginning of my GMAT experience, I took gmatprep and scored 540. At this time I had no idea and understanding of the GMAT. E-gmat helped me to go up till 660. So, I’m very grateful.

I think that the GMAT is very much doable exam if you find the course that fits you, if you practice effectively and most importantly if you manage to control your nerves.

Good Luck to future test-takers and Happy Holidays!

Manhattan is one of the best Quant resources to practice with. The self study basics kit had the tricky questions of the GMAT pinned down. Learning the question patterns helped me recognize question traps on the GMAT. Very good practice resource especially for those aiming to score 700+.

The verbal review of Manhattan was also above average. However, it may not be as detailed as the math sections.

I recommend the Manhattan self prep for those targeting Gmat scores above 700. Also, the self study tool is helpful in tracking progress and mistakes throughout the review process. If you are an independent and disciplined individual, self study prep would be perfect for you! It is cheaper, but just as effective.

Good luck!
