My first practice test I got a 600, and studied over the course of ~6 months and got a 740 on exam day. Manhattan Prep complete course was very helpful, and Jeff helped me outline my post-course study plan. I was able to get 50% extra time due to a learning disability, and he helped me understand how to adjust my timing strategies.

The course is broken up by week with homework assigned for each week. After the 10 week course I had more time until my test so I did not study regularly for the next ~4 months, but studied occasionally with my post-course study plan. It was great to have access to the online portal and books for that time.

I had a good experience with the team. Sunita and Subhankar were very helpful and were constantly available to discuss any issues I had during the prep. I would recommend this to anyone who is either starting out or is midway during their prep. The videos were interesting and the question bank had good variety of questions as well . The course structure is designed in such a way as to cover all topics in each subsection gradually. It is comprehensive and the explanations are easy to understand. Quizzes are designed well and the review section helps a lot to filter and find specific questions youve faltered in to create an error log. All in all, Its totally worth the money

Having studied for GMAT using various resources (Magoosh, TTP, Manhattan Verbal Books, Official Guide) for 9 months, I managed to increase my score from 620 (first attempt) to 680 (second and third attemp) but my score hit the plateau at 680. I didn’t have any problem on quant side(usually scored 49-50) but my verbal scores were inconsistent and far away from my target (fluctuated around 27-34). I was targeting for 700+ score, and I decided to work with a Private tutor. I was always amazed with Gmat Ninja videos on Youtube, so I knocked their door without a second thought.

The level of care and attention they give to their students was apparent even before I started my first session. They really dig into detail about how did I study for gmat, which materials I have used, my practice and actual exam scores and tried to understand my situation. I luckily had a chance to work with Harry. From the moment we start tutoring, he was super attentive and patient. He uncovered each factor that keeps me away from my target score in detail and forced me to apply the right concepts and thought process for approaching each question. He was like a traffic police that calls out and immediately corrects each flaw in my thought process. The only thing left on my part was to follow the steps that Harry laid down for me and be disciplined througout the process. After four sessions with Harry, I felt much more confident on Verbal and increased my accuracy rates significantly. Finally, I passed the 700 barrier and scored 710 (V38-Q49).

Overall, the course offers the best for value especially when you club the discount it offers on purchase of the official prep materials form mab.com. This is huge benefit since everyone has to buy them. I would rate the course a 4/5 due to the old nature of the verbal course. Since I have more than 6 months of subscription left I would be happy if they provide some updated materials. The quant explanations as mentioned are awesome and simple to understand especially the topics on combinations, set theory and probability. I hope maggosh updates the materials in verbal sections. I wish them all the best.

GMATWhiz helped me a great deal in improving my score from 610 to 710. It provided a strong foundation and understand of each and every concept and I was able to solidify these topics with multiple quizzes provided by the course. The GMATwhiz provides unique methodology that when applied, makes it easier to get higher accuracy rate. The course simplifies each and every topic and teaches you the approaches to tackle each type of problem. By the end of the course, I was able to have a clear understanding of each topic and I was able to solve 700 level questions using their methodology. I was mentored by Subhankar, who helped me work on my weak areas and also guided me in the best way possible. We discussed regularly on my scope for improvements and analysed my quant and verbal performance of each topic. The verbal section has defined methodology for SC, CR and RC, that makes it easy for students to identify the flaws accurately and solve the questions. I would definitely recommend GMATWhiz to anyone planning to take GMAT exam.

I got a 730 score on the GMAT in college, then took 3 years of a break off the exam. When I got back in the swing of things, I wanted to elect a service that would not only bring me back up to speed to a score level comparable to when I took the test last (730) but also give me the methodology to exceed my prior score.

TTP was able to do that by providing methodical ways to answer both verbal and quant problems that were proven, repeatable, and guaranteed strong scores on my practice tests and on my actual test. As a software person / product design person, I also really appreciated how the digital platform was designed for test success, and felt like all the features of TTP were pushing me toward a better score goal.

It was a very time-taxing journey (maybe ~200 hours total), but I am so glad that I opted into getting TTP to get me the GMAT score of my dreams. Now onto applications :)

My GMAT journey has been a long one with multiple break either due to family commitments, job responsibilities or my own procrastination. But along this journey one thing which was has been constant was E-Gmat’s consistence support and guidance.

Strength of EGMAT can be analysed in the following three segments:

1. Content/Course structure: e-GMAT has very comprehensive and detailed course structure. You can be sure that you are covering every possible concept tested on Gmat.

Course starts with basics and ends up covering even the most difficult concepts tested. Each module is thorough with ample examples to solidify the understanding. Course is divided into small modules containing concept files, application files and practice quizzes. Concept files cover the theory in detail, application files teach how to approach the questions involving those concepts and finally practice quizzes help you to test your understanding and gather feedback.

Grammatical concepts are as important as the process to solve the question. SC/CR/RC each has its individual process to approach and solve the question which is explained beautifully in the course. How to read strategically, utilizing the sentence structure to get the most meaning out of the sentence. Pre-thinking is definitely a game changer for RC and CR.

2. Process and Analytics: Egmat puts a lot of emphasis on following the process. My accuracy and timing both improved dramatically once I started following the process. Initially the process takes time which often disheartens us and we want to skip the process. But with time, once the process is ingrained then you notice the true power of it. The accuracy and timing both improves, which in-turn boosts your confidence.

Scholaranium (the practice platform) helps you practice questions based upon your weakness and provides insights on improvement area. Having such granular level of insights helps you keep moving and improving. The solutions are also in great detail which helps you understand the mistakes and analyse what you missed and what needs to be improved.


3. Mentorship: I believe this is the best feature of egmat. Mentors are tenured and take immense interest in your success. They keep you motivated and accountable. My mentor worked with me for more than 6 months, helping me improve bit by bit. She helped me create a plan towards success, analysing my performance and progress. She gave invaluable feedbacks at appropriate times and showed great faith in my potential at times when even I was not very sure about my progress.

In short, I would suggest to blindly just follow the egmat plan and path created by the team. I realized this later which did cost me plenty of time. GMAT is not about solving tons of questions but strategically learning from each question and applying the learning in subsequent questions. Honing the skill, following the process and working towards accuracy and efficiency.

I improved my score from 640 to 690 to 720 to 760 and this would not have been possible without egmats support and guidance.

Before my first attempt at GMAT, I had mostly self-prepared using the OG Guide, Quant Review, and Verbal Review. I had taken Quant classes from Wizako which I felt really strengthened my basics, and no classes especially for Verbal, except that one month before the exam, I had taken Magoosh but did not have time to solve all the questions.
I scored a 640 (Q49, V27) on my first attempt in Nov22 - I went into the exam with not much confidence, because my score was fluctuating even during the mock tests.
After the exam, I realised that I need a better and more structured approach for verbal because till then, I had focussed only on solving more and more questions. I took the GMATWhiz course mainly to tackle the Verbal section with more confidence. I had already referred to their videos and webinars before my first attempt and also read a few reviews on GMAT Club. I booked a consultation call and decided to take their course on Dec 22.
For verbal, the course was very structured and very detailed to be able to solve any question that comes along my way. Before GMATWhiz, I used to directly jump to the options after reading any question in CR and SC, and also in RC, I used to read the question first and then the passage. GMATWhiz helped me change this approach and molded me to pre-think and make assumptions which helped me solve any question.
For quant, the course identified my strengths and automatically added/deleted topics based on my performance in the diagnostic quiz. That way, I did not spend time on topics that I was already confident in.
I spoke to my mentor once in two weeks and he asked me to make an error log which was extremely helpful in understanding what exactly I had to work on.
My final score was 700 (Q48, V38). I had expected to do better in quant but due to certain unforeseen circumstances and exam day pressure couldn’t perform as well as I had expected.
Overall, I had a great experience with GMATWhiz.

The only drawback that I noted is that though the portal helps students create error tags (reasons for error) for each question, the portal itself does not generate the error log using this. It would be a great help if the portal itself provided the base for the error log for the student.

When I began my GMAT journey, I took the GMAT official practice mock test and scored 560 (Q46, V22), slightly less than the global average score of test-takers. I immediately knew that the Verbal section (SC & RC) is my Achilles' heel and needs significant improvement to reach the target score of 660 to be eligible for an MBA course at my target university, The University of Warwick. After spending two months learning from the GMAT Official Guidebook and GMATClub practice forum, I took another mock test once more and was surprised to improve by only 20 points to 580! At this point, I knew my learning method was not right and needed to up my game as I only had slightly more than one month left before my GMAT exam.

It was from GMATClub as well that I found e-GMAT and other courses. In the end, I decided to choose e-GMAT because of the great reviews on its verbal section. Moreover, a friend of mine, now studying for an MBA in a top UK business school, recommends I try e-GMAT. So I think nothing will go wrong and I needed to decide quickly.

I am glad that e-GMAT taught me not only practice questions but also a great understanding of the verbal section from its Master Comprehension. Before this, I did a wrong approach to verbal questions because I never really focused on the meaning of the passage itself, but rather answered by mere instinct. Another plus point was it also improved my daily writing skill to have better clarity and structure! Unfortunately, I cannot say much about the Quantitative section because I skipped the tutorial videos and dive into practice quizzes directly. But, I think Payal and her team did a great job as the section is adaptive, an improvement I'd love to see in the Verbal section as well.

For the mock tests, I can say the Verbal section is at the same level as the official GMAT, while the Quant section seems to be more complex than the official one. Nonetheless, it is a really good practice after all and boosted my confidence significantly before the real test, in which I scored 700 (Q49, V36, IR 5, AWA 5), a 140 points improvement from my initial score!

Overall, I highly recommend the e-GMAT to the GMAT aspirants and some tips for you to ace your test :
1. Start really, really, and really early on your GMAT preparation. At least 6 months of preparation should be ideal.
2. Begin by taking a mock test and understand where your weakness is. Be specific and honest about it, it helps!
3. Pick a course with abundant great reviews, especially a course that guides you through the process of understanding the learning materials.
4. Don't jump between sections before finishing one.
5. It's a good idea to listen to your body and take a break if you start feeling overwhelmed during practice. Enjoy the whole process - it is a marathon and not a sprint.

eGMAT was fundamental in helping me build a strong foundation in both Quant and Verbal. I did a Manhattan Online course right before eGMAT and found that it was lacking data-backed algorithms to help tailor where I needed to spend my time. Each video provided thorough explanations of the concept and there were a plethora of quizzes that ensured you understood the concept before moving on. You could also flag which concepts to return back to in the future. The eGMAT mentor that is assigned to you was also helpful in providing general advice and motivation to get you to your end goal.
