After I didn't do as well as I wanted to on my first test, I signed up for TTP and bought a few hours of tutoring with Jeff. TTP and Jeff are both amazing - my whole score went up 40 points after going through this program. I can't recommend them enough.

The website is SO helpful - the lessons are really easy to follow and efficient. I was able to get through the short study plan and learn so much in 2 months. I had been using Magoosh before but I found myself not retaining a lot from the videos. TTP has questions after each chapter and videos on the most efficient way to solve them, which makes it really easy to practice. If I didn't get something, I never had to wait more than 30 min for Jeff or Scott (the co-owners) to answer a question. They have a chat feature and respond themselves with how best to think about problems.

Tutoring with Jeff was also amazing. Even though TTP only focuses on quant, Jeff's general advice about how to approach the test helped me with my verbal as well. I had a less expensive tutor before, but that wound up being a waste of money. It's really worth it to pay for someone who can help with your GMAT strategy, not just generally how to solve a problem.

Hi guys, i am sandeep sharma from India. I have around 14 years of work experience in IT domain. I have domestic as well as international experience. I joined e-gmat on 15- march 2015 . My order no on e-gmat was #14994.I joined verbal online course and as a complementary , i got access of scholaranium free of cost. Before joining e-gmat , i used to have different approach for tackling SC questions. As i could read from internet , most of the guys preparing for gmat were using POE approach. hence I also started using POE approach. Although i was using this approach but there was no methodology or logical approach . With out meaning clarity and structural approach , it was just a blind game with no clarity on how and why we are eliminating. After joining e-gmat , i went through all concepts . majorly, using ed and ing was always a confusing point for me but e-gmat clarified all and now SC questions are a cake walk for me
Prethinking methodology for CR question was a break point for me to handle CR questions. Rethinking has increased my accuracy from 50% to 80%
E-Gmat provided a definitive and structural approach that would work for all types of CR or SC questions. I started scoring from v33 to 38 in all mocks.
Last but not the least ,my favourite scholaranium is the best tool for practice. you can gauge yourself on real performance.
I would recommend this course to all ( specially non-natives) who want to score 700+

I have used e-GMAT for Verbal section. The first impressive thing is the material is very well organized and easy to follow. The concepts are nicely explained with several examples and the at the end if each section they have provided summary. I particularly like following strategies:
1.For Critical Reasoning section to tackle Assumption and Evaluate type questions.
2. For Sentence Correction section, how to split the Independent and Dependent Clauses and various types of connectors for these two clauses. The question bank in Scholaranium is very helpful and resourceful. Overall, I recommend the course material for both native and non native speakers.

Before egmat's verbal online course i used to have different approach for different types of SC questions and the explanations seemed to me biased with the answers, even in OG's explanations, where for most of the choices of SC questions , the explanation would be its wordy or not grammatically correct, or for CR answer choices, the explanation would be just OUT of scope / opposite... without any further explanations, In that case there is little chance of gaining from solving these questions. But egmat provided that definitive, a structural approach that would work for all types of CR or SC questions.
A checklist of 8 points to look for errors in GMAT SC goes with questions of any difficulty level, which i found most helpful . the same with CR question, its focus on proper allocation of time to comprehend, prethink and POE really makes solving CR question fun and easy.(specially after prethinking approach all the OG explanations seemed to be within my line of thinking ).
After video lessons( with emoticons), application practice quizzes really help build up the concept and then segregation of OG questions provides a lot to practice on just one concept.
Though I am yet to write my GMAT exam in 15 days, I am getting 690 -710 in every mock now. with verbal score of 36 to 40.

I would really recommend verbal online course to anyone who have problem in CR or SC.

I'm yet to give my GMAT but I just had to write this review. Big thanks to the e-GMAT team for helping me out with my prep. This is a debrief of my journey so far and how e-GMAT has helped me improve.

The first thing I realized while prepping was that despite putting in effort, I was not seeing an improvement in my score. My GMAT score was 550 - 48Q, 19V on January, 2015 and all subsequent efforts were around the 600 mark - 520, 570 & 620. This obviously got me worried as I had hit the dreaded 'score level'.

I started going through debriefs on BTG and GMAT club to determine if there were others who were facing a similar issue. A commonality that I found was that these fellow GMAT-aspirants had signed up for the e-GMAT course and were swearing by the improved results that they saw. I had my doubts about this course and started off with the free verbal webinars conducted by Rajat from e-GMAT. I absolutely loved the webinars and promptly signed up for the e-GMAT Online course.

The prep:
I was struggling with RCs and thought that I good at RC, SC and CR. However, I didn't have empirical data that backed this perception and there was no baseline. I decide to start from the start and the first module that I completed was Master Comprehension. This is the fundamental course for verbal and greatly helped me reorient my reading habits. The learnings are basic yet so important and I could feel the difference as I attempted SC and RC and CR questions - improved focus and attention to detail.

Next up, I started with Scholaranium as I had to determine my baseline. This is what blew me away. Super Stuff. Schloranium is a dashboard that slices and dices your abilities in terms of strengths and weaknesses in all topics of verbal. I started with solving all ability quizzes in verbal and was amazed at the level and quality of material.

I prioritized my study scheduled basis my strengths and weaknesses and put a countdown to my next full-length. I took my next test in about two weeks after I started my course and scored a 670 (Q43, V40). This was a big bummer but I was determined to figure out what went wrong since I was very confident going into this test. Turns out it was a timing problem - back to the drawing board. Two weeks of prep peppered with drills on e-gmat and practice from OG17, 16 & 15. Next test on 1st June 2017, I socred a 680 and 720 (Q45, V44) on Veritas Mocks. I have now the confidence that anyone can improve with perseverance and patience.

My test day is a couple of weeks away and I'm now spending time in perfecting the core skills taught in the e-GMAT course and am going over fundamental principles in the concept files and yes, solving multiple sets of questions. I will definitely share my debrief post my GMAT but in the meanwhile I want to say this:

"If you're feeling stuck, disappointed or demotivated because you've hit a low score level, don't worry. I was there too and the e-GMAT Online Prep course and OG practice has helped me overcome this. Attend Rajat's free webinars and if you like them, go ahead and buy the course because you will absolutely love the prep."

Please let me know

Good Luck !

FROM 13 TO 32 IN VERBAL....ONLY DUE TO E-GMAT

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

hii guys,this is chandan from India.I am in my final year of graduation in a government college of Odisha.I recently took the GMAT and got a 660(48Q,32V) with a 200 points increment from my first mock.I am very much thankful to E-GMAT for my score improvement in verbal from 13 to 32.
You guys perhaps know how heartbreaking is to witness a score of 13 in verbal while scoring 48-49 in quant .My first mock score on the gmatprep was 460!!!!! (42Q,13V).I was just shocked to see my verbal score as well as the overall score.So expecting a 650+ at that time was pretty foolish.I started my verbal prep afterwards extensively.I bought MGMAT SC,CR Bible and started reading those stuffs seriously.But my second mock witnessed me a 520 (17-18 V) .
I just could not handle that verbal part at all.After 15-16 days I took again the GMAT Prep and score 590(48Q,22/23 V).I knew that crossing 650 was nearly impossible with this kind of verbal score.Suddenly I came across a webniar of GMAT stategy by RAJAT of E-GMAT.It just made me believe that I could also crack the verbal.I was going to sit for the GMAT in 10 days.So may be that online session with Rajat gave me new energy to tackle the verbal section.I instantly bought the SC course and started doing that in a religious manner.I was able to finish that course in 7 days and I was fully surprised to see my progress.Besides that, the prethinking technique for CR and main idea generation technique for RC just gave my prep a new direction.Time management in verbal was always an issue for me.But the time management technique and specially the takht time management by Rajat solved my problem.I got a 680 on the last mock and finally on the D-day I got a 660(48Q,32V).Lil bit of disappointed for quant but quite happy for verbal.I prepared for the GMAT for 3-4 weeks and developed my verbal score from 13 to 32 in one month and 23 to 32 in just 7-8 days only because of E-GMAT.If i had purchased the course a little bit earlier then I would have touched the 40 in the verbal.I know 660 is not that good but I am quite satisfied as I achieved it by preparing for nearly one month.

E-gmat's verbal live prep - Excellent

Hi guys,

I have gone through the gmatclub so many times and now that I have achieved a decent gmat score of 700, I would like to highlight how e-gmat's verbal live prep helped me to achieve this score.

Being a non-native, the skills in the verbal section that are tested in GMAT didn't come naturally to me. I needed a prep course which started off from the basic foundation of grammar. The audio-visual tutorials at E-gmat are effective and intuitive, Had I learnt the same from a text book, I really doubt I could have grasped 50% of the concept.

The E-gmat's course is beautifully designed - one lesson at a time. This was best for a non-native guy like me. In SC section, there are great articles such as verb-ing vs verb-ed modifiers. These articles are really well written and are mostly targeted at sections which create a bit of confusion.

Finally, the scholaranium provides a test-environment where you can practice sections in a timed environment. The results I achieved in the scholaranium were almost similar to what I received in the GMAT. For all those guys who want to improve their score from ~27 to ~40 or above, I would really suggest them to try the E-gmat course.

Dont give up on your Verbal part

I had given my GMAT more than a year ago (620- V31, Q45). Actually, mostly because of my low score I was waitlisted in all BS (fall 2017) , to which I applied. Few month ago, I realized that I’m at a point where I should decide «to be or not to be». I mean a decision to follow my MBA goal or to forget about it. Thus, I decided to continue and to give one more shot to the GMAT. The last one.

Firstly, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m 31 years old women, non-native (my native languages are Ukrainian and Russian) and I have 2 years old daughter (without any help from my parents as they live far from my place). Thus as most of non-natives I have big problems with my Verbal part. Verbal for me is a real challenge. To be more precise I had problems in all SC, CR and RC.

I’ve read a huge number of reviews, tried free trial version and decided to take Verbal Online course on E-GMAT. This course consists of 5 parts:
Master Comprehension
Sentence correction,
Critical Reasoning,
Reading Comprehension
Integrating Reasoning
Scholanarium (practice platform)


In addition, you get
GMATclub tests (26 Q and 9 V) and
800score tests


I will tell you a little about each of these parts.
Master Comprehension. The first my desire was to skip this part and to start as I thought «real» preparation, but this part, in my opinion, wont take too long to finish and gives you something fundamental, without which, I think, I wouldn't have a full picture of the exam and wouldn't know how to approach SC, CR and RC questions. Must to do.

Sentence Correction. I really loved the e-gmat approach in covering all this boring grammar in a such interesting and «alluring» way. I adore how e-gmat structured all information. They divided SC course in several topics and you can easily plan you study. For example, SC in two weeks means that you take pre-ability quiz, then just follow all these topics one per day (sometimes ,in case of modifiers, you take two days on a such topic) and after two weeks you take a final ability quiz. In my case I improved my SC from 47% to 89%.

Critical Reasoning. I still struggling with this part as I realized that when I solve problems on a particular topic I’m OK. However, when I have mixed problems sometimes I’m confused in determining the type of question. I found the «Pre-think» strategy very helpful as it not only a time saver but also a correct answer guarantee. This strategy gives you a full understanding of the passage and as a result doesn't allow to trick you when you go through POE process. I’m still working on it, but I already have little progress from 44% to 67%. What I said about SC also applies to CR, RC and IR. All information perfectly structured and you wont have a problem to plan your study and of course to understand the theory. As for me I know that I need more practice.

Reading Comprehension. This part was very helpful and easy to follow. When you practicing it through the e-gmat platform all these passages are appears to be not so boring and difficult. I loved the "to get immersed» strategy that worked for me great. I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!"

Integrating Reasoning. This is a great addition to all these parts.

Scholaranium. I absolutely loved this part of my Verbal online course. I had decided to do at least 3 passages every day, along with 15 SC and 15 CR. I used to create a lot of SC, CR and RC Ability quizzes and while I started with a 47%, 44% and 53% accuracy respectively, by now I have 89%, 67% and 60% accuracy which is a great achievement for me. After each quiz you can review you questions and get perfect explanations. Moreover, there is a forum after each question and if you have still concerns about particular question you can ask an Expert and get an answer in just several hours.

Gmatclub tests are great to practice your Quantative part as well as Verbal.
As to 800score.com tests, I would say that after reading all reviews about them I decided not to waste my time and purchased Manhattan tests. So, I would recommend to e-gmat to exclude 800score tests and substitute them with more reliable tests OR dispel myths about them.

Finally, in my mock test(Manhattan tests) yesterday I got V 38. This for me great result and I hope to score the same in my real test(in several weeks).

Thank you e-GMAT and thanks to all those who read my review till the very end. I hope I was able to motivate a few of you out there like me, who may have totally given up on Verbal and on the GMAT at all.))

All the best to you all !!

I started my gmat preparation with verbal score of 29 and was really worried about how to improve my score. You can exhaust all the material and still feel stuck because right approach is really necessary and that is where eGMAT came into picture.
Before egmat's verbal online course i used to have different approach for different types of SC questions and the explanations seemed to me biased with the answers, even in OG's explanations, where for most of the choices of SC questions , the explanation would be its wordy or not grammatically correct, or for CR answer choices, the explanation would be just OUT of scope / opposite... without any further explanations, In that case there is little chance of gaining from solving these questions. But egmat provided that definitive, a structural approach that would work for all types of CR or SC questions.

After video lessons( with emoticons), application practice quizzes really help build up the concept and then segregation of OG questions provides a lot to practice on just one concept.
Though I am yet to write my GMAt exam in two weeks, I am getting 730 -750 in every mock now. with verbal score of 39 to 42.

I would really recommend verbal online course to anyone who have problem in CR or SC, or attend a free webinar by Rajat, you can make your own decision afterwards.

I started studying for the GMAT middle of last year when I took a Manhattan GMAT course. Upon completion of the course I felt I knew the material but realized that was not the case when I took the actual exam. Next I utilized magoosh which improved my quant score a little bit but no where near where I had desired. After magoosh I tried TTP as a a friend swore by it. I utilized the course as well as Jeff once a week for private tutoring. TTP excels in breaking down each topic thoroughly. After utilizing TTP and Jeff my quant score increased 10 points to a 48. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone struggling with Quant.
