I recently wrapped up my GMAT experience after having taken a Manhattan Prep full online course with instructors Sergio & Ceilidh. From the very beginning, the GMAT posed as a serious obstacle to my business school plans. Before I got into the course I had attempted to self-study, picking up various second-hand study resources. This route just wasn't going to work for me: the complexity of the exam and the body of work was just too overwhelming. I finally decided to pay the money and get into the full online course. I'm so glad I did!

Right from the get-go it was evident that both Sergio and Ceilidh not only knew their stuff but also possessed the sort of teaching style that can only come from rigorous training and much time spent in a classroom. They were organized, insightful, thorough, and (perhaps most important) fun instructors. The structure of the weekly class and intense but manageable homework assignments helped to keep me on track. It was definitely a lot of work but it was well worth it. I'm perhaps most appreciative of the individual attention that Ceilidh and Sergio would give me, via out-of-class emails and the follow-up PCA/PEA. They definitely encouraged me to push myself further than I would have had I gone it alone!

If you're looking for a GMAT prep course, I'd highly recommend going with Manhattan Prep. If you can get in a course with Ceilidh and Sergio, all the better!

I started my GMAT preparation in September 2016. After going through several materials from various sources available to me, I did the mock exams. I was disappointed with my scores as I could not go beyond 670. Being an Engineering grad, quant section was not a big concern for me. But where I faltered the most was the verbal section. My score in the verbal was hovering between 29 to 32 even after putting in a lot of effort. Then I came across e-gmat from the various reviews posted on the site. The glowing reviews about guaranteed verbal improvement convinced me to subscribe to the verbal online course. When I went through the material it just blew me away. The structured content and the lucid explanations were the things I was missing in my preparation in the last couple of months. Meaning based approach in SC improved my accuracy to over 90 percent. The content of the scholaranium is of high quality and it helped me a lot in my practice for the next 2 months. The timely webinars are really handy to get a grasp of things. Finally scored a V37 in the actual exam in my first attempt owing to certain mistakes I committed in the actual exam. I will go for a second attempt and try to get above V40 this time around. I have even extended the subscription as well as it has become an integral part in my preparation.I would definitely recommend this material to anyone struggling with his/her verbal preparation.

Prior to using e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep, I was struggling with the GMAT verbal session. I wasn't able to come up with a solid methodology for answering SC and CR questions. I was also making a lot of mistakes in the RC section.

The systematic approach that e-GMAT instructors have and the progressive difficulty in concepts helped me understand how to approach each verbal question efficiently and effectively. Also, the summary at the end of each module helped me in my revision efforts. I also leveraged the Scholoranium quizzes to obtain a better understanding of where my skills were lacking and focused on these areas more to make my preparation air-tight.

Finally, the Verbal workshop identifies exactly where you stand and provides a plan to achieve your target score.

I would highly recommend the e-GMAT course, especially for non-native speakers, to achieve your target verbal score.

The first time that I took the GMAT, I did not have much structure in my studying. When I decided to take it again, I reached to a few friends to see what service they used for the Quant section. Nearly everyone suggested Target Test Prep! After giving it a try, I agree with them. The program is easy to use, and it is organized in a way to where it can meet anyone's needs. I only used it for two months, but I liked that it offered a short study plan. This abbreviated study plan is ideal for those who already have an idea of which subjects they need to work on. Also, TTP's founder reaches out to offer help after you sign up. I was able to increase my score, but most importantly, I felt like I gained a true understanding of the material.

coming form a non traditional background, I decided to use manhattan gmat at my friends' recommendation. When I first took the practice test, I ended up getting a score in the 500s. However, after I studied for 2 weeks with manhattan gmat, I ended up getting 760. it is a great course and I didn't even watch any videos - just reading the books and the practice tests were plenty. I highly recommend manhattan gmat to anyone taking the gmat. the drastic improvement was something experienced by all my friends who ended up taking the gmat to apply to business school. can't recommend it enough

Like any other Indian IT male engineer I have my fortress rooted and built with Quants. I left Verbal into the hands of luck though I failed every time thinking of a miracle to happen for a decent verbal score. Well it indeed happened after my thoughtful decision of choosing E-GMAT verbal online prep. " The best in the market for non - natives" is not just a comment but a commandment I would say. Breaking down the CR, RC & SC concepts to elementary level and building a strong course on those items is the real beauty of this course. I loved the CR & SC course more than the RC as I was quite comfortable with it. The concepts proved me how ignorant I was with the CR & SC concepts in spite of being excellent in verbal communication skills. I would definitely recommend E-GMAT if you want to improvise your accuracy in verbal. I am full of confidence that my verbal score is going to shoot up in my GMAT retake. Thank you team for your incredible content and excellent support.

Target Test Prep was truly invaluable in my prep for the GMAT. Before coming to Target Test Prep I felt like I had tried almost everything - Manhattan GMAT, Manhattan Review, Veritas, Varsity Tutors, Magoosh. I officially had the GMAT blues and was feeling a bit hopeless. Through Target Test Prep, though, I was able to raise my score from a 640 to a 730, a score I am incredibly proud.

After chatting with Jeff Miller at TTP for the first time, I immediately felt more hopeful and confident that I could master the GMAT. He explained that many people complete courses from other GMAT prep companies and still find themselves in the same situation I was in - I needed more thorough prep catered to my individual needs. The curriculum at TTP, written by Scott Woodbury Stewart, is the best GMAT quant prep resource I’ve found to exist (and I tried a lot of them). It is incredibly thorough and comprehensive. Jeff was also such an amazing teacher and cheerleader - he gave me more pep talks than I thought it was possible for one to give. I cannot thank him and Target Test Prep enough.

Target Test Prep is the best online software available to study and conquer the GMAT exam bar none. The website is user friendly, the platform excellent, and the material first rate. I would not even consider nor would I recommend anyone use another software or prep. I found Jeff and Scott to be awesome individuals to work with and very accessible. My score improved tremendously as a result of the material provided by Target Test Prep. The material was very applicable to the GMAT exam, the practice tests were on par with what I experienced during the exam and I could not have improved my score without TTP.

Hello,
I've been studying for the GMAT for quite some time now. I have taken many courses at different places such as Princeton, Kaplan as well as Manhattan GMAT. I am currently using E-GMAT for my GMAT preparation and founded it outstanding! Here are the reasons:
I am a non-native and thanks to E-GMAT not only I can read, but also I understand what I read. So, I am truly happy because I feel confident that my acquired reading skills will help me succeed at my career at a faster pace. So, you have two benefits. You are getting a skill needed for the GMAT and you're using this skill later on in life. Well.. yes, I have a degree, but when you start answering RC questions, you feel like you need to know how to comprehend the passage in an effective and efficient way. And this I got from E-GMAT Verbal Prep!

The course is organized and it has all subject matters tested on the GMAT as the other courses. But the fact that E-GMAT has the course structured on short modules and summaries at the end each modules, makes it truly easier for your to study. And it is convenient when you are reviewing topics. I love their explanations because the modules explanations have holistic approach explanations. This is beneficial to all students since we all learn in different ways.

You will be amazed when you start doing SC questions as per E-GMAT 3 steps. Oh boy, you wouldn't think understanding the meaning is so crucial and maybe by finding splits on sentences will get you to answer the question. I have not thought of a sentence the way I think of it now. When I read, I can visualize the parts of a sentence and understand the roles of each part. It s feels like if I have total control of the sentence and no matter what correct structure the GMAT test throws at me, I can analyze the correctness of the questions in light of my understanding of the sentence and the structure of the sentence.

There is a lot to say, but I need to say one last thing. I don't know if there are many students out there who expect their teachers to care about them truly learning, but E-GMAT has done a pretty good job in showing they care about you getting the concept well and going to the root of the problem. You can see this on their material preparations and on the E-GMAT Experts responses to the students' questions.

I have been procrastinating GMAT preparation for long time. This March, I decided to start preparing for GMAT and write it in June/July. E-GMAT has been great companion during my journey to prepare for GMAT. Course offered by E-Gmat is wonderful. I subscribed for E-GMAT verbal online course as I wanted to study at my own pace. As, I started learning with Verbal section, I really thanked god for choosing such a great course. SC is best course offered by Egmat. Sentence correction topics have been explained in such a detailed manner with very nice examples that I can challenge any one that he/she can score great in sentence correction part if one learn and follow all techniques and methods explained in the course. In reading comprehension part, I learnt how to comprehend instead of just reading by following E-Gmat strategy. Time is very important factor in solving passages. E - Gmat strategies have been very helpful in managing time and solve primary purpose questions or inference questions correctly. Then, there are various kind of quizzes which helped me to fortify my concepts and know my weakness in particular topics. There is a section in online course with name scholaranium which tests my ability in various topics and show my progress through detail statistics. I am able to understand my weak and strength areas through the Ability Quizes. I am still preparing for GMAT and so far able to improve my score v28 - V34.
