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!
The couse has very detailed SC and Quant. They both helped me iron out few key areas and cleared my confusion about certain concepts. It solidified my learnings and gave me confidence.
The most beneficial area, as per me, is the egmat mentor, who guided me along the way with systematic plans and metrics to achieve. Sometimes it was tough to achieve the metrics. But it meant that i needed to work on that topic. But, whenever i achieved the prescribed metrics on 2 or more quizzes, it meant i have achieved sufficient competency in the topic. All of this helped me achieve the increased score.
I started my GMAT journey with no background and tried to navigate on my own. After a couple months of preparing from different websites in a very unstructured way, I scored 650. To improve my score, one of my seniors suggested me e-GMAT. I took a free lesson of Sentence correction and it was an eye opener to me. I trusted e-GMAT as the single source of prep (along with GMAT official mocks) and scored 740 (target score I submitted during e-GMAT registration). I would strongly recommend this course for every GMAT aspirant (irrespective of his/her journey stage) for below reasons:
1. PACE methodology : I had 3 months for my next attempt and I wanted to make sure that I focus only on my weak parts and PACE helped me A LOT. It helped me skip the contents where I had a good command by testing me on various difficulty levels and helped to give more time where needed.
2. Verbal content : The content of Verbal course, especially SC and CR, is really good. I was able to figure out my right weakness using error analysis sheets and made sure I never repeat those mistakes. Once I did this, I could see a huge difference in the e-GMAT sectional tests which replicated in e-GMAT and official mocks
3. Forum Discussions : I learnt a lot through the discussions forum of every questions. It increased my capacity to look questions from a different perspective or other possible ways which I could have taken and probably would have marked the incorrect answer. This helped me a lot in the negation approach of tackling a question.
4. In depth videos and cementing : Last but not the least, the videos on every topic is very relevant and cover crucial topics in depth with an interesting pedagogy. The concept of cementing really helped me in assessing my understanding and work on my weaknesses accordingly.
Dear Teddy777,
Congratulations on a 60-point improvement to a 740! Thank you for posting the review! I am happy that e-GMAT could help you ace the GMAT.
It is commendable that early into your preparation, you were able to identify the need for a structured approach and took the necessary steps toward this including testing out the trial version before finalizing the course.
I am impressed by how you leveraged the PACE time-saving feature to selectively address just your weak areas in quant. I can see that through this approach, you were able to save over 16 hours in your quant study. In Algebra alone you were able to save over 10 hours as seen in this image:

The effectiveness of this study plan is demonstrated in how this helped you excel in the quizzes during cementing, helped you score a Q50 in the final test:

In verbal, you followed a similar structured and strategic approach to identify and fix your weaknesses. It is good to know that the error log helped you internalize the meaning-based approach in SC. See how this helped you improve to an 86% accuracy in SC while reducing the overall time to 1:30 min:

The course is as good as the student who uses it. I am glad that you used all the resources on the platform including the internal forums, the error logs, and the process of cementing to reach the 97th percentile in the GMAT.
I am so glad that your efforts paid off, and I am sure you are going to excel at everything that you set upon in the future.
Wishing you all the very best,
Best regards,

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for creating such an outstanding GMAT course tailored specifically for non-native speakers. As an engineer, I had previously neglected my quant skills and focused primarily on the verbal section. However, after taking E-GMAT, I can confidently say that this course is the gold standard for GMAT preparation.
The sentence correction section in particular stands out as the most exceptional I have come across. I have tried various sources, but none can compare to the quality and depth of E-GMAT's solutions. The detailed explanations are approximately 13 minutes long and allow students to thoroughly comprehend each question. Additionally, the forum review component adds another layer of learning, enabling students to view questions from multiple perspectives and identify mistakes they may have missed. The prompt response by the mentors is another significant advantage of E-GMAT.
The scholaranium section is where the true value of this course is revealed. It helps students identify their weaknesses and provides insights on the aspects they need to improve on. Sometimes we misinterpret our weaknesses due to time constraints, but the medium and hard cementing quizzes in scholaranium provide an excellent opportunity for students to challenge themselves and fine-tune their skills.
I wholeheartedly recommend E-GMAT to anyone looking to excel on the GMAT. The course and mock tests are on par with the actual GMAT, and the benefits are immeasurable. Thank you for creating such an outstanding resource!
Dear munindra95,
Congratulations on your score of 700 with a Q49 and a V35! This is Akash, your mentor. I am so happy to read about your success. A 150-point improvement overall and a 15-point improvement in Verbal is a phenomenal achievement and everyone here at e-GMAT is so happy to have been a part of your journey.
Your diligence and hard work made the journey easy for you, as the processes became second nature to you through continuous efforts. The image below shows how you were able to improve your accuracy in SC hard questions from 60% to 85%, translating to greater than 90%ile ability, by adopting the meaning-based approach effectively –

You maintained your diligence and perseverance through all the Scholaranium quizzes for all the Verbal subsections, allowing you to reach your GMAT score in a very predictable manner. The below image, showing your statistics across the three subsections in Verbal in hard questions, depicts how this consistent approach helped you get that 15-point improvement in Verbal.

We are glad you found our forum responses helpful and the mocks effective for your preparation. You have greater heights to mount, and I am sure that you can overcome any challenge that you may face with the same grit and determination that you have shown during the preparation.
All the very best for your next steps!

Akash
Thank you Akash. Without your concrete action plan, I would not be able to reach this score.
I started my GMAT preparation in the first week of August 2022 and soon realized that there was just too much information available on the internet. I needed a structured course and purchased the e-GMAT course on a friend’s recommendation. As I had my GMAT scheduled in mid-October, I quickly went through the course without really going according to the plan. I scored 630 (V31, Q45). I knew I could score better so after returning dejected from the test centre I decided to mail the e-GMAT team. They were really quick to respond and Dhruv was assigned as my mentor. He went through my ESR and laid out a detailed step-by-step improvement plan starting with SC. The meaning-based approach helped a lot here. I was also told to make an error log which also helped me track my mistakes and understand the pattern of mistakes I was making. After I was done with my SC improvement, I was given another detailed plan for CR. Pre-thinking was a game changer in CR as it gave me a direction on how to go about answering CR problems. I was able to solve hard questions with ease with the help of the pre-thinking technique. After CR improvement we went ahead with similar plans for RC followed by Verbal test readiness and Quants. The analytics page especially in Quants was really valuable for me as I was able to target my weaknesses and this allowed me to devote more time to Verbal. The level of questions in the Sigma-X mocks was also great and representative of the actual GMAT and the scores I got in these mocks were also close to my actual GMAT score. I gave another attempt in January and scored 710 this time (V39, Q49). Dhruv was a great mentor and provided a lot of value as he was quick to respond to all my queries and in drafting apt improvement plans which helped me improve by 80 points.
Hi madhurjya98,
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 710 score!
It takes an enormous amount of effort and extreme diligence to achieve an 80-point improvement, and you demonstrated both qualities as you progressed from a score of 630 (Q45, V31) to 710 (Q49, V38).
Your impressive improvement in Sentence Correction (SC) is notable and deserves recognition. By adopting and internalizing the Meaning-based approach, you were able to raise your SC percentile from the 60th to an outstanding 90th percentile, and your success in this regard is depicted in the SC improvement image that serves as an inspiration for aspirants.
https://success.e-gmat.com/madhurjya98-SCImprovement-90thpercentile
Your Verbal score underwent a remarkable improvement of 7 points, which can be attributed to your adoption of the Meaning-based approach for Sentence Correction (SC) and the Pre-thinking approach for Critical Reasoning (CR). These two strategies were the key factors that enhanced your Verbal score, elevating it from a V31 (59th Percentile) to an outstanding V38 (89th Percentile). Here is an image that serves as evidence of your exceptional Verbal ability achieved during the final phase of your preparation journey.

It's great to know that you found the Data-Analytics feature on the platform and the P.A.C.E AI feature in the Quant section to be beneficial in your progress from Q44 to Q49.
Your performance on the SIGma-X mock test gave you the confidence you needed on the actual test day, as you could predict your performance by simply glancing at your last mock score, which happened to be exactly the same score 710 :). Here's an image that displays your last mock score.

Verified GMAT Classic score:
700 Q49 V37 (Online)
I initially started preparing for GMAT from the Official Guides. However, it took me only a short time to realize this strategy wasn't right. I needed more than the concepts in the guide before the questions to solidify my preparation for the exam. Hence, I started navigating the internet to select an appropriate course. I came across excellent reviews for e-gmat on websites such as Quora, Reddit, and GMAT Club. A lot of people said that the verbal course is ideal for non-natives. I decided to opt for the 'GMAT online 360' course in e-gmat.
I was amazed by the depth of the content for each part of the test. Every topic was discussed in great detail, covering all possible ways the test maker may test that concept. To minimize the time spent, the modules in SC had pre-assessment quizzes s that one could go through the files accordingly. Post-assessment quizzes tested how much one had learned through the file. RC strategies were beneficial. The quant part was extensive; if one diligently follows their course, one can easily crack GMAT quant.
Cementing process was one of the most impressive parts of the course. It ensured that the concepts were solidified. Additionally, it helped me get comfortable with the hard questions required to score high in every section.
AI and data analytics helped me identify my weak areas to work upon. We could identify the questions that took us longer than the median time. Analysis of such questions was a great opportunity for improvement.
The subject matter experts were extremely helpful. Each doubt was cleared within 24 hours. Their intent wasn't just to solve the immediate doubt but to identify why the student had that confusion and to recommend suitable courses of action to bridge the gap in understanding.
Strategy experts were exceptionally helpful at every step of the preparation. Whenever I hit any roadblock, they would guide me. As a part of the Last Mile Program, I received direct support from Rida. She was an outstanding mentor. Not only did she help me analyze my mocks in the right direction, but she was also a constant source of support. I would contact her after each mock, and she used to help me with the corrective actions. The study plans made by her allowed me to practice a disciplined approach to the exams. You could feel the level of commitment from each of the e-gmat mentors.
I highly recommend this course!

I have been studying with e-GMAT for around 4 months before I got the latest 710 GMAT score.
I first took a mock test and got 650 score. After 2 months, I finished Verbal section and took my first GMAT test in Feb 23 and got 700. Then, I joined the Last Mile Push (LMP) program from e-GMAT and took another test in Apr 23 and got 710.
Before breaking down into each parts, my overall impressions to e-GMAT are:
1. The courses are well-structured. The content are taught in a good sequence. The topics are broken down in a good way, so I can see the big picture of what I need to learn and how important each topic is.
2. The forum posting/commenting in every questions or contents. When you have any doubts, you can always post in the forum and the experts will answer you in 1 day. I used this feature a lot and most of the time my doubt was clarified.
3. The Scholaranium portal is a very good and convenient tool. It is a question bank where you can do practice quizzes or mock tests on the platform itself. The platform collects the statistic and provide valuable insights regarding your performance. Your mentor can really see how you perform and provide on-point feedbacks.
My feedback towards Verbal:
1. SC is really great. The content are provided in the way that you can see how SC questions can be. The meaning-based approach is honestly a pretty simple but very powerful technique. The way of thinking e-GMAT that teaches you is very structured and practical.
2. For CR, the general conceptual knowledge about CR is well taught. The approach is practical as well. However, I think some logics from e-GMAT original questions are a bit off for a few questions. There is nothing as good as OG questions when it comes to CR part I think, but e-GMAT is doing quite okay for me though.
3. For RC, I think the reading strategy taught by e-GMAT works for me, but it might not work for everyone. The more you read and practice, the more you excel in RC. The reading strategy is just another way of cracking this type of question.
For Quant part:
1. I think the general knowledge are taught well. The concepts are quite strong in my opinion.
2. However, I think the content lacks application aspects a bit. There are a lot of question types in Quant. One topic, let's say divisibility, can be twisted into many many types of questions. Knowing the concept helps you to be able to solve the question, but mastering how to apply the concept helps you to be able to solve the question in time and in a easier manner.
3. The solution provided are sometimes not realistic and practical for GMAT exam.
Last Mile Push (LMP)
1. I think this program helped me a lot. You will be assigned a mentor who will plan things out for you, analyze your performances and come up with a corrective action, provide suggestions in terms of testing preparation, and talk to you over all other aspects of GMAT.
2. My mentor closely worked with me. She first planned out the schedule for me, but I failed it by getting a lot behind the plan. She then adjusted and tried to make the best alternatives for me according to the situation and limited time. In short, the mentor worked with me closely and kept adjusting things based on the real situation. It is always better to work with someone rather than to work alone towards the same goal.
Hi oattp,
Congratulations on the massive 60-point improvement and achieving 710!
Thank you for taking out the time to share your feedback.
Your hard work and dedication throughout your journey is impressive. You internalized the meaning-based approach in SC, which improved your accuracy and timing. Your accuracy in Modifiers improved from 50% to 67% in hard-level questions and time was reduced to 1 min 12 sec per question, as shown in this image.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/oattp-SC-accuracy-improved-67percent
You completed each step along the way with utmost sincerity and attention to detail to such an extent that you made following the right approach become second nature to you.
I am happy to know the RC strategies helped you improve your reading skills and accuracy. Here is an image that displays how diligently you completed the RC modules and achieved great scores in practice quizzes.
Image Link - https://success.e-gmat.com/oattp-diligently-completed-the-RC-Course
As for the Quant section, it's good to know that you found the foundation well-taught. We believe it’s important to master the concepts and their application to questions of all difficulty level and I am glad you did exactly just that. Here is an image to showcase you scoring 60% and above (80th percentile) across Quant sub-sections.
Image link - https://success.e-gmat.com/oattp-excellent-stats-predict-Q49
It's also good to know that sharing your concerns over the forum and Scholaranium portal were helpful tools for your preparation.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the Quant section and Error Log. While an automated log may seem convenient, documenting mistakes manually and reflecting on them provides students with a better understanding of their thought processes and weaknesses, leading to more effective improvement.
It was a memorable experience engaging with you in the LM program.
I wish you all the best for the next steps!

Abha Mohan
Certainly, one of the best in the market and stands apart from the rest of the test prep companies with respect to its fees. Quant section has questions very similar to those of real GMAT with very similar difficulty level. I would recommend to all those with their basics in place.
Verbal section too for most of the course is satisfactory. Questions are meticulously framed.
The most important aspect of the whole of the preparation stage with EG is its 15 mock tests. It is needless to mention that no one offers such a number of mocks with all varieties of questions.
Hi RakshitG
Heartfelt Congratulations to you on your 710 score!
Obtaining a 150-point boost in overall score is a notable feat that merits acknowledgment.
Your exceptional aptitude in mastering and implementing the required procedural skills resulted in an outstanding Quantitative score of Q50 (87th Percentile).
Your remarkable achievement was always on the cards as is seen in the attached image.

Your diligent efforts to master the Meaning-based approach for SC paid off, resulting in a strong foundation and eventual improvement. Despite facing initial challenges, you persevered and used them as steppingstones to improve your accuracy at the same time reduce the time you to answer SC questions,
It was a delightful experience for us to be a part of your wonderful GMAT journey, Rakshit. We wish you all the best for your future endeavors.
