Why e-Gmat – I was not very good at verbal and I happened to come across the e-Gmat YouTube channel which has a lot of free content. I was very impressed, both with the quality of teaching as well as the quality of questions and I immediately decided to enroll with E Gmat.

Course Quality – The E Gmat course starts from ground zero and teaches you the most basic stuff. So even if you are not in touch with verbal/ quants for years, it becomes very easy to follow the course. It even has a master comprehension course which teaches you how to read a sentence with strategic pauses. The questions are graded in such a manner that the difficulty level increases as you complete each module.

Consistent Approach – Hands down, EGMAT is the best when it comes to the approach – be it in SC, CR or RC. It does not teach you shortcuts which often cannot be replicated across questions, but focuses on a meaning-based approach that teaches you the nuances of the topic which will help you to solve any question irrespective of the difficulty level.

Cementing Quizzes – These are application quizzes and there are several hundreds of questions that one can never complete all of them. The best part here is that the course tells you how many quizzes you need to attempt for each difficulty level and the minimum score that you need to get in these quizzes before you can proceed to the next module.
Such practice ensures that a student gets enough practice before he moves on to the next question.

Advance Algorithms – You can drill down on your performance in any area with e-Gmat’s user friendly and advanced dashboards and you get to know the exact sub areas where you are performing well and the areas where you need to go back and revise.

Support from Strategy Experts – I first wrote to the EGmat expert team on March 27, 2023 and I wrote my Gmat on Sept 20, 2023. During this period, there were so many emails exchanged between me and one of the e-Gmat Strategy experts, Akash Aggarwal. He guided me in every step and I can’t thank him enough for my GMAT score.

The best Verbal Mentor Payal Tandon – When I started my GMAT preparation, I found it difficult to even identify verbs in a sentence. Payal is so outstanding in her explanations that one thing I will miss post my exam now is listening to her videos. I attended a lot of her recorded seminars as well and she would often tell her students to ask themselves a simple question while trying to solve the question - Does this make sense. Now every time, I read a question – Payal’s voice would echo in my ears and I ask myself a lot of probe questions while trying to arrive at the answer.

Note – My review above is mostly on verbal as I had a strong base in quants. But needless to say, even the quants course of e-Gmat is outstanding.

Fantastic course for self-study. I used to improve my score from a 590 to 740 in 4 months time. It took me about 3 months to get through all the fundamental material and from there I started using a combination of TTP questions and official GMAT practice tests to get ready for the actual exam.
Their flexible program was great for someone who works in consulting and can have a varying schedule. They also have a calendar that helps you pace yourself (although I found that for me, alternating between verbal and quant throughout my study process allowed me to feel motivated and not get too overloaded with one topic). Also, they have great guidance on the best ways to study, such as not feeling the need to use the dry erase board right away until a month before taking the test.

I recommend it to all my friends starting the GMAT study process or ones that need to strengthen up in certain areas (especially in quant). Some other things to note are that the customer service is fantastic and they'll get back to you very quickly about any questions you may have.

My GMAT score improved from 650 taken in July to 690 in September , by 40 points with 2 months online course along with Experts' Global Mock Tests. No of mock tests is high--15. Both Verbal and Quant material are nice, focussed on Basics rather than shortcuts.
Mock Tests fine tune preparation and teach how to manage time on the actual GMAT. Video solutions to each question in the mock tests are extremely helpful. There are a lot of questions for practice with detailed solution. The online 2 months course along with Mock Tests comes at a very affordable price and are extremely recommended and is a no brainer.

Definitely one of the best ways to do exceedingly well on the Quant. The structure of the program and amount of resources given make preparing for the test rather easy. That is not to say that the test or prep is easy, but it makes life much easier when you only have to do the material in the course to know that you're learning as opposed to self-studiying and not being sure. As most people say, TTP is a god-send for Quant. Went from Q35 on a free mba.com practice test to Q50 on the real test. I only had to take the GMAT ONCE!

If you want a great score on the GMAT, TTP is a clear path to get there. I started studying with a solid grasp on verbal but really shaky quant skills. TTP's thorough, methodical process got me to a point where I felt really confident answering quant questions, and ultimately I scored higher on quant than verbal. For both quant and verbal, TTP does a great job of teaching you not just the topic, but also how to approach questions and eliminate wrong answers. By the time I was taking my practice tests, I was scoring highly and feeling confident in my knowledge. On test day I got surprisingly psyched out by the experience, but even while feeling really nervous and like I was doing poorly, I was still able to keep my eyes on the prize, keep moving, and secure a 760.

Even if you're already using some other prep materials, I'd highly recommend the $1 trial so you can experience the custom practice tests with clear, detailed explanations. I found myself really missing these explanations when taking the official practice tests or using questions from other sources.

The TTP course is extremely comprehensive, adequately covering all important aspects of a proper GMAT prep. I was especially nervous about how the verbal section of the GMAT would work, and I was delighted to learn that the course covers all elements. The video guides, course explanations, and problem reviews are all very helpful.

I had zero knowledge of the GMAT before embarking on my search for a preparation product. Despite TTP being the only one I've tried, I think it's safe to say that it was a great choice. The planning tool helped me with adjusting my daily life to the preparation, and was essential in ensuring proper balance between my job and prep.

Having started my GMAT Prep in May 2023 with a cold mock score of 660 (Q44, V37), I knew I needed to improve drastically if I wanted to be competitive for the programs I wanted to apply to in the fall. I realized the biggest issue with verbal was sentence correction, and quant too required work and looking at the provided reviews across platforms I decided to go ahead with TTP. The quant was helpful but something about the verbal section did not click with me and I knew that unless I actually discussed what I was doing with someone I had no chance at improvement. I found GMATWhiz at that point in time and contacted them. Upon doing so, I was introduced to Sunita ma’am who made me realize that my approach was firstly wrong and that I was unnecessarily rushing through questions without looking at the finer details. I went through their course along with weekly/bi-weekly sessions with ma’am and during this process I slowly started to get better at understanding the intended meaning of the sentence. CR had initially not been a struggle but I realized that harder questions on the GMAT were of a completely different level – and ma’am’s advice of focusing on the conclusion and not being distracted helped me get through a lot of them. Ma’am has been very helpful throughout the journey and even with my struggles and frustrations helped me keep calm and confident as the test date drew nearer. As I gear up for another attempt to improve my quant score (I, unfortunately, had noise issues at the test center that dragged it down), I hope to keep the learnings through the process with ma’am and the course.

This course really helped me study for the GMAT. I was intially worried about how to actually know what and how to study for the test. Through TTP, however, I did not have to worry about that and I could simply "trust in TTP" and focus on studying.

Each topic is explained very carefully and pedagogically, and the course also provides many different strategies on different types of questions, thereby eliminating a lot of uncertainty I usually experience when starting to solve a question.

Furthermore, the course is very easy since it is shows exactly what topic to study and in what order. Finally, TTP offers a ton of practice question, which is really fantastic since answering all of them (which you essentially do throughout the course) gives you a lot of confidence and reinforces your knowledge for the actual GMAT exam.

One recommendation I have is based on a personal mistake, and that is to give yourself a lot of time to study, maybe 4-6 months depending on how much you study each day. I gave myself 2,5 months and studied approx. 3 hours a day. However, I barely had time to complete the course before my exam, and as a result only did 2 practice exam prior to the GMAT. Having more time would definitely have been less stressful.

In short, I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone taking the GMAT, and thank you Scott and the team for creating such a great course!

When I was selecting a course, I chose TTP because it had great reviews and it was a relatively economical option. While I haven’t taken any other courses, so cannot speak to their effectiveness, I do think the TTP course gives you a great bang for your buck, and is definitely a more reasonable choice than some of the other courses out there.
Overall, the course is excellent and thorough. Even though I was studying from Asia, the TTP team responded quick enough to my queries that I never felt like I was waiting for a long time. If you truly trust and follow the full course, you can and will get a great score on the GMAT!

I initially gave the GMAT in 2016 when I graduated and scored a 680. I do not have the sectional scores but the verbal was around V40 and the math score was poor. For several reasons, I decided to retake the GMAT 7 years later and apply to the top MBA programs.

My case is unique in that I struggled with Quant section rather than the Verbal. I had a couple of bad maths teachers in high school, hated maths in O levels and never gave it in A Levels either.

I decided to firstly fix my foundation in Math. I chose the EGMAT because:

1) There are too many resources out there and it is not possible as a working professional to design your own study materials based on everything available out there for free.
2) I heard good reviews about EGMAT and especially that the Quant section was great.

I started off the course in February 2023 and decided to not settle an exam data beforehand and just see where the course takes me.

I would highly recommend EGMAT for several reasons:

1) The course is comprehensive for both Quant and Verbal. Every section starts off with a diagnostic that judges your ability in that area (for e.g. number properties > Even/Odd Numbers). Based on how well you perform on the diagnostic, the EGMAT algo skips certain lessons and tells you to do some other ones. This saves time.

2) The course is well organised in blocks of skills that you need. This gives you confidence.

3) Rather than approach the test from the mindset of "lets find you quick tricks to figure out complex problems", the course makes you do the proper math behind every problem. This was excruciatingly painful and time confusing for me but it was also extremely useful. a) It gives you confidence in your ability > less nerves on the actual test b) if you come across a very unique question, you have a solid foundation to fall back on.

4) The analytics for me were one of the two best parts of the course. Every question you solve gives you data: your accuracy in certain skill blocks, how quickly you answered the question and how quickly others have done on similar problems. This insight is very useful as it keeps timing in the back of your head from the very start.

5) The second best part of the course for me was the Cementing Quizzes. These quizzes are blocks of 10 questions that test your ability on a particular topic. EGMAT says that if you get 70% accuracy on the "Medium" and 50% accuracy on the "Hard" quizzes, you should be at 70th percentile. I was sceptical of this at first but it was very accurate for me. I consistently scored Q48-49 on practice mocks and scored Q48 on the actual test.

Moving on to the verbal section, the critical reasoning section was the best for me. The pre-thinking concept is a game changer when solving CR questions. These questions can get very tricky at the higher levels and pre-thinking can help you really ace those questions. The instruction is clear and concise and the course is neither too short nor too long.

I didn't make much use of the RC/SC sections so I can not comment on that. I will however say that you will find the SC portion very useful if you are a non-native English speaker with somewhat moderate/poor skills with the language. It is almost impossible to develop an ear for the SC questions (unless you already speak/write really well and read alot). If that's you, I'd highly recommend the structured approach of the verbal section.

That being said, I didn't make much use of SC for myself since this was not a problem area for me.

I have some other general advice for any test taker:

1) DO NOT SKIP the error log. It is one of those things that you wonder why you are wasting your time on it (especially when time is short!) but is extremely useful and will help you study methadically

2) The EGMAT Quant section is harder than the actual exam by a fair margin. This is a GOOD things as it prepares you very well for the actual exam and helps with both timing and accuracy

3) You should spend 80% of your time learning concepts and mastering those and only 20% of your time doing practices and mocks. Repeated mocks will NOT improve your score meaningfully. If you have an accuracy problem > master the foundations. If you have a timing problem > master the foundations!

4) On the verbal section of the exam, draw a 5 x 5 grid (like an excel sheet). The top row should be labelled A, B, C, D, E and the first column should have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Make three of these for all 30 questions. As you read the SC questions, use grammatical errors to identify and cross out 3/5 choices. These will leave you with two choices. This is where it gets harder. If you can't find grammatical mistakes anymore, chose the more elegant solution (which may not always be the shorter solution!).
