I was scoring around 630 on the GMAT Mocks and was clueless about how to handle the Verbal section especially. I was scoring around 28 to 30 on the GMAT Verbal. RC and SC were main concerns for me as I did not have an approach to go with. I realized that I needed to start with basics of SC and RC. I enrolled for the TTP Dedicated Study plan and started focusing on individual areas of each section. I improved heavily on SC and RC scoring around 85% on the Example and Sectional Test questions. Once I attempted official mocks after completing the TTP course, I was scoring around 740. On the test day, I was confident of a 730+ score. I scored 760.
I’m really grateful to e-GMAT for helping me through this journey. I’m a working professional in the finance industry with limited availability of free time, especially on weekdays. I was looking for a solution that helps me stick to my preparation timeline and provides me with a structured course to follow without me having to spend time figuring out what I need to study next. e-GMAT met my objectives perfectly. I had a mentor assigned by e-GMAT, Akash Aggarwal, who constantly pushed me to commit a certain number of hours per week for the GMAT prep. Also, the course structure of e-GMAT is so easy to follow. You just need to trust the process.
To be honest, my GMAT prep journey was anything but smooth. In all, my prep time was about 9 months. It included 3 months of no prep due to work commitments. Frankly, it was frustrating at times given the impact of these uncontrollable events on my prep timeline. However, the regular check-ins with Akash and his guidance really helped me push through this journey. I did give an attempt after my 8 months of prep. However, due to the final day exam anxiety, I panicked in the verbal section and, as a result, I had to cancel my score. I was really disappointed and was probably thinking about not giving another attempt. However, Akash made me realize that I was test ready and that I had to just work on my mindset for the final day. Thus, I prepped for one more month and gave another attempt, in which I was much more under control and ended up doing well.
For me, e-GMAT played the following three important roles in my journey:
1. Provided a highly structured course
2. Assigned me Akash as my mentor (I highly recommend him in case you end up opting for the e-GMAT’s mentorship program!!!)
3. Offered an excellent preparation module for the verbal section (was really important to me given I’m a non-native English speaker)
If you’re thinking about giving GMAT and are in the similar boat I was (working professional, limited time availability, non-native speaker), I highly recommend subscribing to e-GMAT.
Exclusively relying on TTP for GMAT Quant is a dependable strategy. TTP liberates you from the headaches of Quant preparation. by completing its chapters, you can confidently move forward without the need for additional resources, streamlining your study process and allowing for a more focused and efficient learning experience. TTP's Quants approach involves tackling each concept from various perspectives, effectively enhancing understanding and confidence in the subject matter. TTP stands out with its extensive question bank, offering twice the volume of questions compared to its competitors.
While I haven't personally explored the Critical Reasoning portion, I've heard commendable feedback about its effectiveness.
I went with EG's mock test series after realizing that my GMAT score was not hitting the target. The series had 15 tests that were totally in line with the actual GMAT experience and my score increased considerably as a result of this. Based on this experience, I reached out to EG again for application consulting and wasn't disappointed. The team is really professional and methodical. I targeted 3 schools with EG (2 were stretch schools) and received admits from 2 of them. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to practice with GMAT-like mock exams and tailored application consulting. EG is a must to do great in GMAT
Overall an amazing product with incredible support and well-suited for those who are self studiers rather than classroom learners. The product exceeded my expectations and would definitely re-enroll if I had to go back and do it all over again. The instructors are all very responsive in the case that you have questions or comments. The flexible payment plan made it so that I was able to pay for exactly how much I used their service. For those that prefer structure, they had study plans and progress bars that made your hard work readily viewable and you could accurately plan each part of your GMAT journey (from learning the lectures, practice mocks, test day).
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
The course content by egmat is extremely comprehensive and covers all aspects needed score 700+. I found the user interface better than any other prep company which was a big plus point.
I also liked the way the course is structured i.e. Learning, Cementing and Test Readiness, which ensures all weak areas are covered with multiple attempts.
The quality of questions is top notch and almost GMAT Like in Verbal. In Quant, they equip you with all the concepts really well, I was able to improve on almost all of my weak areas just with the course content.
The mentorship provided by my mentor Ms. Abha Mohan was very valuable. She guided me with corrective actions whenever I was in doubt or going the wrong way.
The mocks that come with the course are GMAT Like and the score prediction is spot on. The Skill data analysis and details of attempt post every mock is an added bonus which can really help to identify grey areas.
I recently embarked on the challenging journey of preparing for the GMAT, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to enroll in the e-GMAT's Online 360 course. This comprehensive program was nothing short of a game-changer for me, helping me boost my GMAT score by a whopping 100 points, ultimately achieving a score of 730.
Here are some key aspects of the e-GMAT course that I found particularly impressive:
e-GMAT follows a three-step process, which comprises Concept Files, Cementing, and Test Readiness. The first step comprises learning concepts in the form of very well-defined and interesting video lectures, notes, and quizzes. The course also has functionality, which by using various quizzes helped me to understand my current strengths and weaknesses in a topic, and accordingly, it suggests the topics I could skip and topics I should cover in order to bridge the gaps in the least amount of time. In this stage, I was able to understand each concept thoroughly and build a solid foundation required for acing GMAT.
In the Cementing phase, the course allowed me to apply those learned concepts in more GMAT like questions in a timely manner, building my problem-solving skills, enhancing my speed, and improving accuracy in both Quant and Verbal sections.
In the test readiness stage, I used the course's data analytics tool to understand the areas where I was weak and more focus was required, and I used custom Scholaranium quizzes to improve my ability in those areas. The mocks included in this course are computer adaptive tests and follow algorithms very similar to the those of official GMAT exam. Egmat Mocks are very accurate predictors of actual GMAT score and provide in-depth data analysis which is very similar to ESR.
While learning a new skill we are bound to make errors but the key to ace GMAT is to learn from our errors and do not repeat them. For this process, EGMAT suggests the use of error logs and provides very good templates to maintain error logs. Maintaining and revising error logs made me understand the mistakes in my approach and the wrong patterns that I was unconsciously repeating.
Moreover, The last mile program offered by EGMAT is a cherry on top of this excellent course. Through the LMP program, I received guidance and support from Dhruv, my dedicated mentor. I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and guidance that Dhruv provided throughout my preparation journey. He motivated and inspired me, even during the most challenging moments of my GMAT preparation. He instilled in me a sense of confidence and determination, reminding me that I had the potential to excel in the GMAT.
In conclusion, e-GMAT has proven to be a game-changer in my GMAT preparation journey. With its exceptional instructors, comprehensive curriculum, personalized support, and results-driven approach, I was able to achieve my target score. If you're serious about excelling in the GMAT, I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT as your go-to partner. It's an investment in your future that pays off in dividends. Thank you, e-GMATfor helping me reach my GMAT goals!

I started e-GMAT after a recommendation of a friend. The flow of the e-GMAT course was truly user-friendly. It began with a mock to get my current status, then as per my estimated required score, it helped me plan a schedule which could work together with my day job.
The ordering of the course and the emphasis on fundamentals helped me a lot as I often ignored minor mistakes as flukes or speeding errors. Using "strategic pausing" and "pre-thinking" drastically changed the way how I was attempting questions in Verbal and also allowed me to score well.
Another aspect that I liked about e-GMAT is the Cementing Quizzes. Even when we complete the study material, it is difficult to be confident about it & we often doubt if we can perform well in the actual situation. Cementing quizzes and Yes/No loops were very helpful for that since I had to take a break from studying in between and I wasn't sure about the material that I covered previously. After the quizzes, I could identify my weak points and focus on improving them, which saved me a lot of time.
For anyone who wants a self-paced yet organised way of preparing for GMAT, I would highly recommend e-GMAT.
Hi sudutt-h,

TTP quant is probably the most comprehensive material you could get for the GMAT. It is exhaustive and delivers on every count. I focused primarily on the medium and hard questions while going through each and every chapter that TTP has to offer, and they built a solid base for what I was to encounter on the GMAT. I never felt under-prepared after going through TTP end to end and though very long, I enjoyed the way the quant content was presented. One piece of advice to anyone going through TTP is to make good use of their bookmark feature and the Must know tabs while making your own notes simultaneously. The custom test feature is great for revision too, and the questions are very GMAT-like so kudos to the team!
Hello all! Last week I took the GMAT for the second time and managed to score 760 (V44, Q49), up from 710 in my previous attempt. For my preparation, I mainly relied on E-GMAT. I would like to share what this preparation looked like.
I started my GMAT journey back in March 2023. I approached my preparation with no rush as I was not clear, and still am not clear, when I would be applying to an MBA program. I recently graduated from college and simply wanted to “get the GMAT out of the way” and make use of the 5-year window it has. Another relevant piece of information of my preparation is that I was working full-time throughout my preparation, so time was an issue.
When I started choosing a GMAT preparation course, I had a preconceived notion that the most important thing for preparation was practice. I also needed a course that I could take at my own rhythm due to my lack of time. Because E-GMAT had the most practice questions among the courses I was considering and because of its flexibility, I enrolled to E-GMAT.
Coming into the preparation, my weakest part was verbal, specifically sentence correction. When I started the course, I realized that practice alone was not enough and that there were several conceptual gaps I had to attack first. E-GMAT’s structured course was perfect to attack these gaps. All of the modules were very helpful.
Even though making sure all the conceptual knowledge is clear was essential, the practice that came afterward was as well. I took my first attempt of the GMAT when I had not gone through enough practice, and hence, did not get my target score. After that, my focus was primarily in practicing. For this, the E-GMAT platform is perfect. Being able to create custom quizzes tailored to once needs was super helpful. Although the amount of option for these quizzes might be a bit overwhelming at first.
Lastly, a key part of the preparation was the actions taken after taking any practice quiz, which are extensively recommended by E-GMAT. This key part was making sure I truly understood the answer of every single practice question I took, even if I got them right.
In short, the E-GMAT course manages to tackle all of the key needs of a successful GMAT preparation.
