Another significant advantage of Target Test Prep is its analytics and performance tracking. The platform provides detailed feedback on practice tests and quizzes, allowing students to monitor their progress and identify areas that require more attention.
Overall, Target Test Prep has proven to be a valuable resource for GMAT aspirants. Its comprehensive content, adaptive learning approach, and user-friendly interface make it my top choice for those aiming to excel in the GMAT.
Dear fellow GMAT test takers,
I recently took my 6th attempt at the GMAT and scored 730 (Q49 V40) after 2.5 years of preparation. I have used almost all the courses available for the GMAT, and I would like to share my journey on this platform. I hope my journey will help those attempting this exam achieve their dream score sooner than I did.
My journey started with Magoosh, Manhattan Prep books, and Official mocks in 2021, and I scored 600 (Q45 V28) and 590 (Q44 V23) in my first two attempts. I realized both my Verbal and Quant were weak. E-Gmat helped me improve my basics, enabling me to score 660 (Q49 V34). However, I wanted to score above 700. Though E-GMAT is good in terms of its content, I did not get the personal connect I was looking for. I knew I needed some personal connection, so I enrolled for 10 sessions with Crack Verbal to help me with the verbal part, but even that did not help much as my basics were also fairly okay. I was clueless about what to do next and then sought help from GMATWhiz.
GMATWhiz and Satyam Gupta, my mentor, deserve a special mention for the role they played in helping me achieve my dream score. GMATWhiz has exceptionally good content, custom quizzes, mock tests, and, most importantly, mentors whom you can talk to, to help resolve your issues. The course includes explanatory videos, easy quizzes to test and cement the learnings, and hard quizzes to help recall and apply the learnings. Both the verbal and quant sections have a similar format. The explanatory videos are very basic and help understand the concepts easily. The quizzes were equally helpful and served their purpose. But, most importantly, what helped me the most was the one-to-one connect with the mentor who helped analyze and address my weak areas.
I had already booked my GMAT on 30th August, leaving me around 25 days to prepare. I scheduled a call with my mentor, who understood my background and asked me to solve some quizzes in a fixed time. I took those quizzes and then reconnected with my mentor, who analyzed my performance and figured out my weak areas. He helped me understand where I was lagging and explained how those aspects were impacting my overall score.
I messaged him whenever I needed help. GMATWhiz Mocks were equally helpful in that I could see how I performed in each quarter, what my weak areas were, and what I could do to improve. This AI-powered platform is really amazing. With this preparation, I attempted and scored 640 (Q50 V23), a disappointing and unbelievable score. I knew right away that this was not my score; I must have been anxious in the verbal part.
Heartbroken, I called my mentor again. He motivated me to attempt the GMAT exam again and asked me to work on all official questions and Whiz quizzes in a way that simulated the actual GMAT. During this phase, I was constantly in touch with my mentor, and he made small corrections to the plan. Two days before the exam, he asked me to review the questions I solved incorrectly in the mocks and Whiz quizzes. Reviewing these helped me fix the areas where I lacked and also didn't put much pressure on me, bringing my mind to ease.
Now when I look back, I realize that before GMATWhiz and my mentor, I was only trying to score a good score and was not able to analyze where I lacked and how to improve my score. I tried to address the challenges without understanding the root cause and how could I. I didn't even know where to look for the problem. I only knew how to see the overall score and the number of easy, medium, and hard questions. Had I met my mentor sooner, during the course of my preparation, I would not have taken six attempts to reach my dream score.
I wholeheartedly endorse GMATWhiz and its one-to-one mentor connect program, which not only helps you understand the concepts of GMAT but also guides you through the journey. Having someone guide you in the preparation goes a long way in achieving your dream score. Good luck to everyone.
Thanks

Experts Global GMAT Course exceeded my expectations, especially in the verbal section. Firstly, the quality of questions is exceptional. They not only cover a wide range of topics but also mimic the complexity of the actual GMAT, providing a thorough preparation experience.
The resemblance of the questions to actual GMAT questions is noteworthy. This authenticity not only builds confidence but also enhances adaptability during the exam. The course’s commitment to mirroring the real GMAT experience is a key strength.

I was looking at MBA programs after working in the engineering field for over six years. So I started preparing for the GMAT after researching a few schools and had a target score range. I took the GMAT in Dec 2022 and got a 650, which is well below the average for my target schools. I enrolled with eGMAT after researching the GMAT club reviews.
eGMAT has great tutorial lessons with comprehensive material and good question sets across all difficulty levels. Their meaning-based approach brings clarity to the SC and RC topics. It is beneficial to non-native speakers of English. I also got valuable advice on RC passage reading that enabled me to read and understand long and complex passages relatively quickly. Their approach to CR will strengthen your skills and significantly reduce the time required to solve hard questions.
The website has an extensive question bank with good-quality questions and good analytical feedback interface. The student mentors are quick to respond to questions.
The hard-level questions on the quant scholaranium are significantly more complex than the real GMAT and can be demoralizing. But it builds confidence if you are not from a quant background.
Overall the course is of great value. I would recommend exhausting their mocks before the GMAT as they provide an accurate estimate of your GMAT score on test day.

My experience with eGMAT has been great from the start. I started my GMAT journey in June and took the eGMAT course on the recommendation of a friend. It turned out to be the best thing that I could've asked for. I started off with a score of 630 in my mocks and found myself lacking in both concept and process skills. Through the coursework, I was able to understand the gaps in my understanding in Verbal seeing as my quant had always been a strong point. Majorly, I'd like to point out a couple of things that any aspirant should look at while picking a platform for their GMAT prep. They are as follows:
1. Content - I went through multiple guides of different companies and I found the eGMAT coursework to be very meticulous and exactly what I needed. I would point out that it is very process oriented and it really takes a lot of time to go through the coursework, however it is equally rewarding.
2. Question bank and mocks - I don't think I've found a platform to the level of eGMAT. Their mocks and questions are very close to what official questions look like. Apart from this, their analytics blow other platforms out of the water. The precision with which I can see my strengths and weaknesses through their data analysis is unmatched and exactly something that I was looking for. I would even go to the extent to recommend using their platform solely for their mocks and question bank, if nothing else.
3. Support - I am a person that requires constant pushing and direction when pursuing a goal such as this. I would've sent over 200 mails to support@egmat over the course of my preparation and never had to wait for longer than 4-6 hours for a response. As a student, this kind of support was essential to me doing well in my preparations.
I'd like to thank a few people in particular on the platform namely Harshavardhan R, Abhishek Raj, and Rida for being a constant support throughout my journey. I would not have been able to pull off my score if it were not for them. They truly made the difference for me.
When I started preparing for the GMAT, I felt comfortable using the official guides. However, after taking my first test it was clear that there was room for improvement, as I was about 100 points below my target range. I especially lacked in the quantitative section.
I happened upon Target Test Prep while doing some research on the internet. Other people spoke favorably of it; so I thought I would give it a try. Almost immediately, it was clear why TTP was so well-received by others. The study plan was clear and straightforward, and was tailored to goals that I inputted upon signing up.
Each section of the study plan has extensive information and tips on how to approach each subject. If you study each lesson carefully, it is impossible to not improve.
What I found particularly helpful were the practice/chapter tests and the ability to make your own customized problem sets. The standard practice tests at the end of each section were a great way to apply what I gained from the lessons. Towards the end of my time preparing for the GMAT, making customized problem sets that included only my weak topics was incredibly effective in refining my approach.
Without TTP, my score of 720 does not happen. I could not recommend their services more strongly!
SC - Superb. Meaning Based Approach proved extremely helpful. This approach opened the doors for 700 or 750 level questions, which was really a big pain point for me.
CR - Pre thinking is more about practicing than any concept as such. I could not give enough time to practice Pre-thinking to the core and hence could not improve a lot. Though it did help me to a certain extent.
RC - Did not find the section useful, could be because I was at a decent level in RC and did not need a great deal of improvement. Though, I feel the passages are way longer than real GMAT, and much tougher than what you might encounter in your exam.
Did not use its Quant, so can't say much about it.

Finally, on behalf of e-GMAT, I extend my well-wishes for the exciting journey that lies ahead of you. May you embark on this path with great success and fulfilment.

I found the course helpful as there is a constant feedback provided by the experience counsellors. The quality of the house structure is very nice and covers most of the topics specially in sentence correction and overall verbal strategy.
The quants lectures also includes the basics and clears the concepts behind each and every formula. The course would be helpful for anyone starting from scratch or looking for a score improvement. There is a continuous communication with the counsellors and they help to recognise the grey areas, so it becomes easier as we don't need to spend time and analyse.
Overall the course is good value for money and will help you to build strong foundations.
Apart from the online GMAT course, the guidance provided by the mentors throughout our preparation is really invaluable. I would really like to acknowledge and appreciate the consistent technical and moral support that Ms. Rashmi Vaidyam has given me during my preparation phase. The meaning based approach of e GMAT is really helpful for non native speakers like us. The verbal section covers basics to advance level concepts and we do not need to refer to any other materials. e GMAT provides with unique and very logical strategic approach to solve each section of verbal. Quant module is self sufficient inteself and you can pace the course as per our level of competence.
I recommend e gamt for any one who is looking for 700 or above score. The module did not just help me with GMAT but it also improved my basics. e GMAT does not focuses on shortcuts like other products in market do, instead works on foundation which helps you tackel the 700 level questions.
Thanks e gamt and I am very grateful to Rashmi

I wish i had subscribed to experts global earlier rather than looking for open source material.
The way items are organized and the way each and every topic is explained. The main highlight is 15 mock tests, which are sufficient for you to analyze your mistakes and revisit the sections you are weaker at.
GMat shots will help you to revise specific topics without going through complete section.
The subscription price is also less compare to all other gmat prep companies.
