710 Q47 V41 (Online)
As a 23-year-old student from Argentina, I am thrilled to share my incredible GMAT journey with e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course. Purchasing the course on February 6, 2023, I gained access to unlimited resources for four months, including content courses, a question bank with over 1,000 practice questions, and five mock exams. The results were astounding, as my initial mock score of 500 skyrocketed to an impressive 710 (V41, Q47, AWA 6, IR 6) when I sat for the official GMAT exam in the second week of May.
e-GMAT's three-step process, comprising Concept Files, Cementing, and Test Readiness, formed the backbone of my success. The Concept Files offered comprehensive theory lessons, enabling me to understand each concept thoroughly. This solid foundation proved essential in tackling challenging GMAT questions.
The Cementing phase was a crucial component of the e-GMAT course. It provided me with opportunities to cement my knowledge and refine my problem-solving skills. The Pre-thinking approach, advocated by e-GMAT, encouraged me to strategize and hypothesize solutions before considering the answer choices. This technique not only enhanced my speed but also improved accuracy in both Quant and Verbal sections.
e-GMAT's Scholaranium, an exceptional question bank, offered immense value in my preparation. Its custom quiz feature allowed me to focus on specific areas and assess my progress effectively. The detailed statistics provided invaluable insights into my strengths and weaknesses, enabling me to fine-tune my study plan.
Moreover, I cannot overstate the impact of Dhruv, my dedicated mentor from day one. His personalized study plans, tailored to my weaknesses, allowed me to overcome my challenges effectively. Dhruv adjusted my study schedule to suit my personal needs and was always available for strategic planning calls, keeping me motivated and on track.
For aspiring GMAT test-takers, I offer a few tips based on my experience. Firstly, establish a study routine and stick to it consistently. Consistency is key to mastering the concepts and building stamina for the test. Secondly, practice regularly using reliable resources like e-GMAT's Scholaranium, focusing on quality over quantity. Lastly, embrace the Pre-thinking approach advocated by e-GMAT, as it can significantly improve your speed and accuracy.
In conclusion, e-GMAT's GMAT Online 360 course provided me with a transformative learning experience. Through their three-step process, comprehensive study materials, and invaluable mentorship from Dhruv, I was able to achieve a remarkable score of 710. The Pre-thinking approach, Scholaranium's question bank, and personalized mentoring were the standout features that propelled my progress. I highly recommend e-GMAT to GMAT aspirants seeking a comprehensive and tailored approach to reach their target scores.
When embarking on my GMAT journey, I knew I wanted to leverage a prep course to provide me with effective study materials and a flexible schedule that could be customized to my needs. Again and again, my research pointed me towards Target Test Prep. As soon as I started the course, I knew the reviews were right and I had made the right decision. The course is a one-stop shop for all things quant, verbal, IR, AWA, and test strategy. I worked through the TTP 6-month course and found it was perfect for my busy working schedule and, ultimately, led me to achieving a 760 (Q48V49, IR8) score. Thank you to Scott, Jeff, and the entire TTP team. I would recommend this course to everyone looking for an awesome GMAT prep experience and score to match.

I had the privilege of working with Jeffrey Vollmer from Manhattan Prep as my GMAT tutor. Jeff's mastery of the GMAT was evident in his deep understanding of each question type and his ability to develop effective test strategies.
Jeff knowledge of the GMAT was truly impressive. He possessed an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of each question type, enabling him to guide me through various problem-solving approaches and techniques. Whether it was critical reasoning, data sufficiency, or sentence correction, he had a wealth of insights and tactics to share. His expertise not only helped me grasp the fundamental concepts but also gave me the confidence to tackle even the most challenging questions.
Moreover, Jeffrey's talent for developing personalized test strategies was invaluable. He didn't just provide generic tips; he took the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. Jeff taught me how to dissect problems effectively, manage my time wisely, and make informed decisions during the exam. His guidance enabled me to approach the GMAT strategically and maximize my performance on test day.
Thanks to Jeff and very very recommended!
Great test prep program! Will use again if I ever need to take another standardized test.
I think that the Quant section is excellent, close to perfect. I basically had everything I needed for self study and was glad to see that videos were included to show you how to do problems you get wrong when you complete the lessons. The quant review chapters are also really helpful because they help to solidify your knowledge.
Verbal was good overall, hoping that they will create a comprehensive verbal review section as this would be super helpful during final week prep.
I definitely found it worth the money since I had to study while working full-time and you can access materials at basically any time.
I really enjoyed the experience and think its the best I tried in price and in quality so very happy overall. Very grateful with the E-Gmat team and Dhruv specifically who was very supportive and friendly.
They really help you all along to follow a simple plan and to master comprehension of subjects and perfection of excecution through repetition. I do feel now i understand everything and why things are correct or wrong. I liked questions and the answers to any doubts you have, helped everything more clear and they are very quick in replying to any inquires.
Would recommend 100%.
Hi rlaban
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 700 score!
This is Dhruv. It was a pleasure working with you towards your target score.
Achieving a 50-point enhancement in the overall score, including a 4-point advancement in the Verbal section, within just one month is an accomplishment that one can take pride in.
By assimilating the 'Meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction' and the 'Pre-thinking approach for Critical Reasoning,' you not only improve your Verbal skills but also enhance your abilities in Reading Comprehension. It's pleasing to learn that mastering these structured approaches for SC and CR had a positive impact on your RC proficiency. The image below shows your Verbal abilities during the last leg of your prep.

I am extremely contented to know that you believed in my mentorship, and I could contribute to your success in the best possible way. This motivates me.
Thank you for your feedback and we take every feedback as an opportunity to learn and grow from it.
At last, I just want to say, on behalf of e-GMAT, I wish you all the best for the journey you have ahead of you.
Regards,
Dhruv
My GMAT journey began when I took my first mock test at mba.com in September 2021 and scored 500 (Q42; V14). I was overwhelmed by the Verbal Section of the exam. For the next few months, I was improving my general English skills by preparing for TOEFL, and at the same time, reading a lot of scientific articles and enhancing my vocabulary.
On 30 April 2022, based on positive reviews, I decided to purchase GMAT 360 subscription. The feature of the course that I liked the most was profoundly deep explanations for every concept that enabled me to understand as many details as possible. Moreover, e-GMAT experts always responded to my questions within a day. Scholaranium is a great tool to practice by creating question sets. When I finished learning concepts and practicing them, I was contacted by Rida, Senior Consultant at e-GMAT, who designed a review strategy for me to get ready for the test. After reviewing, I took three mocks and scored 750, 730, 760.
On 29 April 2022, I took my final exam – and scored 760! So, I improved my quant score by 8 points and my verbal – by 28 points. For sure, I couldn’t imagine such a strong improvement when I started my GMAT preparation, but hard work and dedication led me to decent results.
I wanted to say a big thank you to the e-GMAT team and especially to Rida for guiding me!
Hi stas0nchik,
CONGRATS ON GMAT 760!!!
A 260-point improvement is what dreams are made of. This is Rida, your mentor, and I am so glad to have been a part of this journey.
You put in all the required time and effort needed to get to a 99th-percentile score. Throughout thick and thin, you have persevered in your journey to get to 760! Just a glance at your stats on the CR course shows your dedication towards achieving perfection.

You worked to learn all the necessary methodologies to achieve GMAT success. You moved on to mastering the application of these processes on Scholaranium, where your outstanding scores are proof of your 760 ability.

I am sure that you will approach your future endeavours with the same zeal, dedication and perseverance that you have shown throughout your GMAT Prep. All the best for your next steps and future endeavours.
Regards,
Rida
If you are struggling with Quant, it is a great resource to get to Q50+. The learning path, the question bank and the analytics will help you a lot.
However, the verbal questions are unnecessarily hard, and quite low in number.
The SC questions, particularly, are very different from what you would get in GMAT. In GMAT, the SC questions are amalgamation of all the different SC concepts. In TTP, the SC question bank has questions that test only a particular concept of SC. Knowing about the concept prior to answering the question is not going to be the case with GMAT SC. You wouldn't know before answering the SC question, what concept is being tested and one of the crucial aspect of GMAT SC is being able to identify markers for the questions.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I enrolled in the GMATWhiz course in December 2021, but I paused my preparation shortly thereafter. I resumed my GMATWhiz studies in September/October 2022 with full dedication. After completing the course material in early December 2022, the GMATWhiz predictor estimated my score to be in the range of 700-740. The prediction was accurate, as I ultimately scored a 720 on the final exam on December 30th.
Quantitative reasoning had always been my weaker area, and I lacked confidence in it. However, the GMATWhiz course boosted my confidence in this section. The platform provides a comprehensive question bank for both quantitative and verbal practice. The "Whiz Quiz" question bank was particularly helpful for me to gain confidence in time management for both quantitative and verbal sections. During the final stage of preparation, I took several short, timed quizzes. The GMATWhiz mock analysis is thorough and precise, which assisted me in identifying my weaknesses accurately.
My initial mock scores were 660, 660, 650, and 710. During the first few mock tests, I used to panic a lot, particularly during the quantitative section. This is where the one-on-one mentorship feature was exceptionally useful. My mentor, Satyam, was always available whenever I needed him. We had several calls during the three-month period, and he monitored my progress regularly.
Overall, GMATWhiz is an excellent platform for any GMAT test-taker, and I strongly recommend it.

Mark Sullivan was an incredible teacher and resource throughout my time studying. His energetic and analytical approach to the 9-week course, as well as his advice leading up to the test (and subsequent re-test) was invaluable. He made the entire experience feel much less overwhelming, and instead connected what we were learning to the topics we might encounter in business school. Quant is a particular strengh for him: he shared additional drill sheets and resources to help me raise my quant score, which ultimately led to me increasing 40 points between my first official test and second official test. I couldn't have succeeded without his guidance and coaching, highly recommend!
Target Test Prep is the best service in the business. At the start of my prep I thought I was overly ambitious when setting my target score to 750, but did not feel surprised at all when I surpassed it on test day. Prior to starting TTP I had tried both Magoosh and Manhattan Prep and struggled to attain a quantitative score of 40. I had exhausted all of the OG questions and was beginning to think a score of 650 was out of reach, let alone 700 +. Enrolling in TTP was the best decision I made. The course provides nearly 400 comprehensive lessons covering each subject that the GMAT tests. There are thousands of practice questions, and each lesson tests you throughout. I often find myself going on autopilot and skimming through textbook reading, but the interactive interface of TTP kept me engaged for the entirety of my journey. When test day arrived, I knew I had the skills necessary to achieve the score of my dreams, all I had to do was execute. TTP instilled in me the confidence necessary to score in the 99th percentile. Trust The Process! TTP is what you need to ace the GMAT!
