I started my GMAT Prep a year back. But due to critical health conditions, I wasn’t able to give the exam back then.

July 2023: After recovering partially, I started my GMAT journey with e-gmat starting by giving an OG Mock (760) and a Sigma-X (740).

I started my prep at a point where I knew the basics but where I lacked were:
• The identification of areas where I usually missed things (even though I knew the concepts), resulting in wrong answers
• The test-taking strategy.

The result: My mock scores fluctuated a lot between 710-750 on Sigma-X, although a constant 760 on all OG Mocks.

Note: Never take OG mocks as an actual representation of your GMAT performance. Questions on actual GMAT are way tougher than what you will see in OG mocks. One thing you’ll learn when you give the Sigma-X mocks – An almost equivalent representation of the actual GMAT

Akash, the Strategy expert from e-gmat, worked with me continuously to help me get constant with my strategy and scores.

Top 3 areas where e-GMAT helped me:
• Identification of conceptual gaps
• Identification of logical gaps while solving problems
• Test-taking strategy

Although on my best preparation, I, on the test day, was in a tensed state of mind.
(Tip to avoid: Stick to e-gmat test day strategies before entering the testing premises and follow them later on till you finsh the exam).

I started with Quant and saw some real challenging questions in the test, and I made the mistake of making the assumption that I somewhat missed a few questions and hence would have missed the perfect 51.
This self-doubt impacted significantly my performance in Verbal.

Thanks to e-gmat because of whose approaches I was able to do quite well on the CR and SC sections, but messed up in the RC due to lack of focus and in self-doubt. If not for the CR and SC methodologies by e-gmat, my score could have gone way worse.

Tips to test-takers:

• Believe in yourself the most on test day
• Do not doubt once you are finished with a section, focus on what’s in-hand now and not what can’t be changed now
• Stick to test-day strategies by e-gmat, the most important one being - Solve few questions before going for the exam (I missed on them)

I got a 720 with Q51 (the section I assumed I messed up) and V36 (my lowest ever score on any mock – Hence trust e-gmat and trust the process), IR 8, and AWA 6

Fingers crossed (I’m gonna give another attempt within 15 days. Will be updating my progress)

Update: It's 770 now (Q51, V 45, IR 8, AWA 6)

The course is user-friendly, allowing the students to easily understand the whole process and how to follow through with it. TTP provides deep insights and recommendations on how to tackle every detail of the GMAT questions. It gave me the structure/foundations to prepare myself for the GMAT exam. I achieved a 710 grade, but I truly felt TTP prepared me to do better than that and that I could have surpassed that grade had I taken the exam again.
I cannot think of any improvements to this course. It maximizes the efficiency of your time spent studying and I think it is worth the money.

I believe that eGMAT along with OG questions is more than enough for someone to perform well on the test. It is a one-stop solution to all your GMAT hurdles. Be it conceptual understanding or test readiness, eGMAT covers it all. The mentors at eGMAT are so approachable. They guide you at every step of the way. No matter how low you have performed on a quiz or how anxious you are about the test, the mentors know exactly how to reason with you and bring the best version of yourself.

QUANT:

I think eGMAT is underrated for its quant. It truly deserves applause for its concept files, quant quizzes, test-taking strategies and more. The concept files are very detailed. No matter how good (or not so good) you are in quant, eGMAT will help you boost your understanding and overall performance on this section GUARANTEED (of course, provided you put in a genuine effort and get involved in the process) They have broken down the quant in such easy to understand language. To top it all, they flood you with so many high-quality practice questions that, upon completion, you get so much clarity on the topic under discussion.

VERBAL: eGMAT lives up to its reputation. It has literally mastered this section and made an entire program that makes verbal smooth sailing for the student. It is a very comprehensive, very detailed, and highly intensive course. You cannot cut corners, You need to put in the hours. But once you do so, the rewards are waiting for you to reap. I want to specifically talk about their RC section. It is the shortest of all the three sub-sections (w.r.t hours of studying) on its platform but it is so impactful. eGMAT has videos that help the student work on his/her comprehension skills. How to read, when to pause and take notes (if you want to take notes), how to comprehend, the key traits of successful reading and more... they have you covered for everything on the RC section.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE:

1. eGMAT is a well-structured program. You are first asked to take one of their mocks - SigmaX - and based on your performance a starting score is established. Then, your target score is asked for and accordingly, a road map to your studying is created.
2. In each section and each sub-section detailed concept videos are provided. After completion of each sub-topic, you have concept questions under timed and non-trimmed conditions to solve. Once you reach the minimum threshold asked by them you move on to the next sub-topic. In doing so, the student not only gets an understanding of the concept under discussion but truly masters the skillset required to ace the topic
3. Once you are done with the concept phase, you move to the Scholaranium platform which helps you hone your test-taking skills. This is a game-changer. It floods you with all the details of your performance - accuracy, time, strengths, weaknesses, and much more.
4. Once you complete the threshold on the Scholaranium platform, you move on to the mock phase. Here, you are asked to take another Sigma X mock. And believe me, if you perform well on their mocks, you are sure to do well on the GMAT, period!

My final advice: For anyone who wants to understand the key concepts tested on the GMAT, who wants to improve their test-taking skills, who wants to break their score plateau or who wants to get a high score eGAMT is the answer. Try it and test it yourself.

I would highly recommend using E GMAT in addition to the standard open source resources such as GMAT Official Guide and the GMAT club platform. E GMAT made a huge difference in my SC prep. After a certain point, GMAT tests you by asking if you can bend certain rules and evaluate trade-offs between ambiguity and grammar. E GMAT does a good job of showing the user these type of questions so they understand the importance of not eliminating certain options immediately because of basic grammar rules. (ambiguity in meaning is the ultimate test in the SC section of Verbal)

I turned to Harry thorough GMAT Ninja after two poor GMAT results following my taking courses from Princeton Review and Target Test Prep. I was struggling from inconsistencies between my official practice tests and the actual GMAT and didn't have a clear path forward. I turned to GMAT tutoring for help knowing that I needed a great GMAT score to get into my target schools.

I initially reached out to GMAT Ninja because I was familiar with their Youtube channel. After watching several of their videos, their approach to GMAT problem solving resonated with me(I found the characteristics that I valued from their Youtube videos certainly carried over into our tutoring sessions). After several emails back and forth with Charles I decided to partner with Harry and give the GMAT another attempt.

Harry immediately set about rebuilding my foundational approach to the GMAT for both Quant and Verbal. This meant eliminating careless errors and easy mistakes that were handicapping me on easy/medium questions. We then focused on getting my timing to be consistent by implementing various techniques and strategies that I didn’t have from my other preparation courses. Lastly we focused on refining problem solving strategies and reviewing mistakes on the harder problems.

In addition to Harry being a phenomenal instructor, here are some other things that stand out. Harry sets a learning environment- I always felt like I could make mistakes without judgement. Harry gives you honest feedback. Overall, Harry is a phenomenal instructor who helped me develop the skills and confidence needed to obtain my 720. My only regret is that I didn’t make the decision to partner with him sooner.

My journey to 700 is a story of consistency. I started my preparations in late 2022 from e-gmat. Being a non-native English speaker, I was naturally weak in English. However, the best parts of e-gmat were the quality of the verbal section and how it taught me from the basics.

Although the initial learning process was smooth, I wasn't able to perform well in my section exams. That's when the team e-gmat voluntarily enrolled me in its online 360 program and assigned me Akash Aggarwalm as the mentor. Akash helped me in three areas:
1) Identifying my fundamental weakness in each sub-section
2) Create customized tests for me to improve on the weak areas
3) Create a pre and post mock test strategy to get e ready for the exam day

I would suggest the GMAT aspirants to try the e-gmat online course as the quality of the content and their mentors is unparalleled in the industry. Also, just believe in yourself and go an extra mile to realise your dreams.

After getting a 680 on my initial GMAT attempt, I had mixed feelings as the score was at the average mark. I knew that to improve my score, I had to work on my weaker areas. After having read multiple reviews on GMAT forums, I decided to opt for e-GMAT. The AI-based course helped me accurately identify my shortcomings. Focused prep in these areas, helped me strengthen the concepts, building a strong foundation. The last mile push, courtesy of Sigma-x mocks, coupled with the timely support from the e-GMAT mentors, ensured that I was test-ready, with me scoring 730 on the test day.

So as the title suggests, yesterday I scored a 770 overall (51 Quant and 44 Verbal) after prepping for 120 hours. I started prepping last October (pretty late for B School applications) and went on reddit to see what resources successful people had used. I saw several posts of scores in the 760-790 range from people using Target Test Prep, and thought “good enough for me”.

I started and quickly learned an essential truth: knowing the material isn’t enough. Everyone on this site is smart enough that, given 10 minutes per question, you could probably solve the problem. You have 2 minutes instead, 30 questions in a row. You need to have strategies for each of these questions. You need to drill these questions and your weak areas consistently. I’m convinced that I wouldn’t have scored anywhere nearly as well with a live course or a book, because where TTP really worked best was the strategy guides for specific problems and the additional bells and whistles to ingrain the strategy into your head.

When you first start, the site will auto generate a calendar with “To Dos” based off your preferences. I didn’t always follow this calendar, but it was really helpful to have a baseline of “this is where I should be at right now” or “I need this many tasks done today (even if they’re not the recommended tasks)”. After most individual lessons (about a page) there is a mini 3-8 question comprehension quiz to test how well you really get what you’re reading as well as a couple sample questions. The best part about these questions is right away you get the answer and detailed explanations for each choice. I don’t have to flip to the back of the book every single time like I did with my ACT study guide, and I don’t have to listen to a lecturer waste my time explaining why a certain choice was wrong when it was obvious to me. 120 hours of active study time is a lot, and staying engaged during that time is important. There’s no question I was maximizing the amount of learning I was doing in my limited time.

The custom test generator was one of the best features for me. You can make custom exams of any length, with any combination of chapter material in difficulty. If I wanted to drill hard Geometry questions and easy + medium Parallelism questions, I could do that. There is a LOT more, but those were the features I found myself appreciating the most. Features like error trackers and flash cards I probably would have used more but honestly I got a score I was happy with a lot sooner than I was expecting.

3 days ago I took my only practice exam and scored a 770 (50 Quant, 45 Verbal), took a last minute tutoring session on Quantitative through TTP, and scored a 770 on the official exam yesterday. The tutoring session was particularly helpful because the practice tests don’t give an answer breakdown like TTP does, and my tutor quickly got me up to speed on the questions I missed. He also had similar questions on deck to solidify my understanding of those types of problems.

I can’t imagine doing another course, book, class, etc. and achieving better results, especially in that amount of time. I highly recommend Target Test Prep, and you can try it out for $1 to see if that format is right for you.

I was not paid to write this, I’m just very satisfied with my experience and results and was encouraged to post about my experience here.

This course is really solid and worth the money. It covers a ton of topics with plenty of materials. The explanations are clear and make things easy to understand. Further, it covers a lot of great tips and tricks, meaning that you won't need any other materials (except for official mock exams) to study for your GMAT. The tool allows you to pick a score range you want to achieve and the automatically created schedule is contains everything you need to know. It's a good deal if you're looking for a course that's informative without being over-the-top.

I can definitely recommend it!

e-gmat helped me to develop my verbal skills, I saw a marked improvement in verbal score from V28 to V38 after I used e-gmat, this also helped me to improve the overall score from 640 to 700. The practice test (Scholarium) were very helpful and it helped me to understand the mistakes I was making. The analysis provided helped me to increase my accuracy. Besides, the mock test were aligned with GMAT test, and my final GMAT score was very close to the marks i got in my last 3 mocks. The quants section was also up to the mark , though i would say it was on the tougher side than actual test. At the end i believe e-gmat has the best content for serous GMAT takers.
