I used the E-Gmat portal for just a month and ten days. Firstly, I am very confident that if I would have used for another month, I would easily have cracked above 760.
Verbal:
Sentence Correction: I only attended a webinar by Ms. Payal Tandon and if not more atleast sixty pc of job related to SC was done. She taught how to just go with the meaning. This put the intensive grammar at the back foot and allowed me to focus on real issue. I did do the portal's grammar lessons but meaning based approach was most important. Frankly, I didn't have any time to give a mock test. In the exam, I just attempted with the meaning.
CR: They give sufficient practice with the help of lessons.
RC: E-Gmat's lessons revolved around basic reading skills and this is what is required for RC. The lesson taught me how to pause and summarize at the right time. I was already an avid reader and I just needed this training to attempt objective content of GMAT.
Quant: Sufficient practise is required for quant even though one is an engineer. Here also I did not have enough time to attempt all the lessons. But managed to get 88percentile
Overall, the portal has excellent other techniques to improve score and that would have easily helped to cross 760.

720 Q49 V40 (Online)
TTP was a great ROI and allowed me to achieve my score goal. Prior to any prep, I took an official practice test and scored a 500. After completing TTP, I took the GMAT and scored a 720.
The ability to track the time spent per week and month in the program as well as easily see progress towards completing the entire study plan. TTP created a very easily to follow study plan to achieve your score goals.
I'd suggest to those taking the test to start with their weaker section (or section with the most score variability) on the official test, so they will be fresh for their more challenging section.
Hi, after taking the practice test how much time did you give to your preparation before giving final gmat?

I will comment mainly on the TTP Verbal course, because before my V33 GMAT attempt I had studied Verbal from other sources, and it definitely didn't work for me. After the V33 attempt, I started to use the TTP Verbal course to improve my Verbal performance.
The Verbal course was unique. Mind-blowing is the word I would use.
In roughly 3 weeks, the Verbal course brought me to an outstanding V42 on my 2nd GMAT attempt.
The course never focuses on made-up gimmicks or grammar, but teaches you to use bullet-proof logic and concrete reasons to eliminate incorrect answer choices.
I could see daily improvements in my Verbal performance in ANY section, on ANY question type, I was just amazed at my improvement.
If I had started to study the Verbal section from TTP from the very start of my GMAT prep, I would have likely scored even higher. Quite a statement.
With this Verbal course, there is not any ceiling to how high you can score.
I won't even bother commentating on the completeness and well-thought design of the Quant course. It's the best in the market and it's not even a secret. I was scoring Q48 and Q49 on the OG Official Practice tests, consistently, and it definitely showed on the real exam.
If you're in doubt, do yourself a favor and buy this course right now.
I had a score improvement of 130 points.
I went from being super weak in verbal from v22 to v35
The main USP is the help/support
I suggest everyone to be in constant touch with the egmat support team.Talk to them atleast once a week and ask them for tips and vids to improve
ask them for help they are the best out there.
I was struggling with everything in verbal
I reached out to the support team in desperation they sent links to videos which helped me a lot.
All i want to say to people reading this is
Make sure you give yourself adequate time for prep
I thought i would complete my prep in 2 months but actually felt like i was never prepared
Finally even though i still felt like i needed more time
I just booked a date and gave the exam
You dont need to be perfect at the first try
Please dont think the way i did
I thought i will first perfect myself and then book the exam date.This led me to go in to a downward spiral where i was prepping day in and day out without any foreseeable date.
Just book the exam date and give it
You can iterate on it if you feel like you need better
Dear aymankhan92,
Congratulations on your score of 680 with a Q48 and a V35! A 130-point improvement overall and a 13-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.
You were always willing to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve in Verbal. The image below shows how you used the Scholaranium analytics to understand that Verbs were your weaker area in SC and then how you improved your accuracy in it from 19% to 69% by practicing the meaning-based approach on a regular basis –

You did not stop yourself right there. You gave this effort in all the subsections in Verbal. Through your consistent efforts in Verbal, you got that 13-point improvement in Verbal from V22 to V35.
It was interesting to read about your approach to booking the test date. We as mentors suggest students book the exam date once they score within 10-20 points of their target range in 2 consecutive mocks. However, it is fascinating to see your improvement from your first mock to the last mock in the span of almost 5 months. The below image shows your journey from the mocks to the actual exam –

We appreciate all your feedback, and we strive to put forward the best experience for you and we take every feedback as an opportunity to improve further.
You have greater heights to climb, and I am sure that you can overcome any situation ahead after this journey.
All the very best for your next steps!

700 Q50 V34 (Online)
Verbal Module and SigmaX Mocks are AMAZING! I really benefited from these two product features. I have improved my verbal score from V24 to V34 with eGMAT's thoughtful course content and exam strategy.
SigmaX mocks are very informative to simulate the CAT environment, more effective for exam sprint time prep.
The quant module is too easy or not reflective of the true GMAT difficulty. This could be significantly revamped and improved.
Overall, I really recommend this product! The regular pricing is a bit too expensive IMO. I got my package on sale during the summer, better value for money. I would recommend to get the package when it has promotion unless you don't care about the cost of the course.
Dear greenhouse7,
Congratulations on your score of 700 with a V34 and a remarkable Q50! An 80-point improvement overall with a 10-point improvement in Verbal from V24 to V34 is a phenomenal feat to achieve.
You were always willing to understand where you were going wrong and where you could improve in Verbal. The image below shows how you used the Scholaranium analytics to understand that Pronouns were your weaker area in SC and then how you improved your accuracy in it from 47% to 89% by practicing the meaning-based approach on a regular basis –

TTP gave me the fundamental building blocks to approach the test differently and more efficiently than I had before I started with TTP. Before starting with TPP, I would just do random problems sets and problems from the GMAT book. At the time, I didn't understand how much I had to un-learn and re-learn in order to approach problems from a new, improved perspective.
TTP offers countless problem sets that are very high quality and prepared me well for the test. While I can only claim this from my own perspective, I feel like a good portion of the TTP 'Medium' questions were actually borderline 'Hard' by GMAT standards. Because of this, I felt comfortable and capable when difficulty would start to increase on true practice tests. (I don't claim this to be the case! Just an anecdotal pattern I picked up on).
If you are considering the 6-month, Maximum learning option, be prepared to commit yourself to the GMAT process for the long-term. I needed this option as someone who had plateaued in studying on my own and as someone who has testing anxiety. TPP is ultimately what you make of it, but it offers the ideal framework to succeed.

I gave my final GMAT attempt on 4th March 2023 and scored a 740 (Q49, V42). This was my second attempt, less than three weeks after my initial attempt (690 - Q48, V37) on 13th Feb 2023. In between both attempts, I signed up for e-GMAT's $149 course.
I first came to know of e-GMAT through their Youtube channel when I was watching their Sentence Correction videos on the Meaning-based Approach. I liked their approach because it felt quite natural and relatable to how I had approached SC questions when I had attempted them without any preparation. Most importantly, it took the focus away from Grammar rules, at least partially, which I had dreaded from the time I was in middle school. After my first attempt, I felt that I needed professional help to identify and address my weaknesses in a pin-pointed manner but in a short amount of time. After my introductory call with Mansi from e-GMAT, I was convinced that they would be able to help me in the hyper-customized fashion that I was looking for.
Based on my ESR from the first attempt and a few diagnostic quizzes I took over a week during the evenings, the strategy expert from e-GMAT, Rida, helped me with a day-wise plan to address my weaknesses. Within 3-4 days, we were able to cover most of the topics and were ready to re-evaluate my test-readiness through a Sigma-X mock. While my overall performance on the mock was not as expected, it did give me confidence on some of the topics I had worked upon during the preceding week. Eventually, during my second attempt, just 12 days since my journey with e-GMAT started, I was able to apply the learnings from the concepts, practice questions and mock that e-GMAT provided to land on a score I was glad to accept.
The concepts that were instrumental to boost my confidence were around Sentence Correction - Comparisons and Modifiers. The deep-dives into topics like As vs Like were extremely helpful. I was also able to brush up my concepts of Geometry and Inequalities as it had been a while since I had put them to use. While I do feel that the phase-wise prep style at e-GMAT is extremely helpful as a comprehensive prep strategy, what worked for my time-sensitive use-case was the analytics-driven approach to identify my weaknesses across topics, difficulty level of questions and the time taken to solve questions.
I would definitely recommend e-GMAT to test-takers who are at a stage where I was when I approached them, i.e., if you are scoring 650+ and need the help of tools and a professional to pin-point your weaknesses and work on them to achieve a 700+ score. I’m sure e-GMAT has a lot more to offer to a lot more people, but in my limited interaction of 12 days, they were able to help me in a time-sensitive hyper-customized manner. The motivation that Rida, my strategy expert sent my way was the icing on the cake.
Hey Glancer97,
Congrats on GMAT 740!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review! This is Rida, your mentor- it was a real pleasure working with you on your journey to your target score!
Your dedication to giving it your all in the two weeks that we worked together was evident in your prompt completion of milestones and the way you utilised the course to tackle certain areas where you required additional support. This is most evident in SC where you improved your accuracy to 76%.

Since we were working on an extremely limited time frame, every step had to be precise and to the point, so that not a minute of study time was mis utilised. Thus, for each day, you had extremely clear plans as to what needed to be tackled, what improvement you needed to see, what scores you needed to achieve and more. And you made sure to follow these steps to the letter and trust the process.
I admire your drive and confidence- even when you didn’t get the best score on your last mock, you still believed in your abilities and did your best to learn from the experience, rather than let it bring you down.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the quant questions – we believe that preparing for the GMAT is like preparing for war and there is no such thing as over preparation. As for the Last Mile Program- it is something that we discuss often on our YouTube channel but is meant for students in the last stages of their prep who have gone through the course. Your unique situation and starting score where what allowed you to join the program from the get-go. However, all e-GMATers can get help and guidance from mentors by writing to us at [email protected].
All the very best for what comes next!
Regards,
Rida
Overall, the course was great. I got a lot of tips and recommended practices that allowed me to prepare as well as I could to pass the GMAT. During the course, Jamie provided a lot of super useful examples, or "Jamiesms" as she would call them, that helped me a lot to become better at this test. Jamie was super available to help me decrypt my results and see how I could improve after the mock tests, which was very helpful to better target the potential areas of improvement. She also provided corrective measures and recommended practices to direct my efforts. Thank you very much for everything, Jamie!

770 Q49 V47 (Online)
This program is extremely comprehensive and will take you 95% of the distance to getting an extremely high score. I would not have scored nearly as high without the structure that this program provided. Being able to reach out to tutors to answer individual questions was also a great option that I used often. It took me around 4 months to get through the entirety of the course. It was definitely a grind but worth the effort. After I completed the course, I took my first practice exam and scored a 690. To be fair, by the time I finished the course, there was quite a bit I didn't remember from the beginning (for the Verbal section specifically). I then switched gears to practicing only OG practice problems to figure out where my weaknesses were and then would return to TTP to review my weaker subjects. After lots of practice problems I was feeling comfortable with problems at the highest level of difficulty. TTP is a fantastic program and I cannot recommend it enough.
With many online courses available it is very important to get enrolled in one which is inline with your thought process.
One of the best feature about Egmat is the video solutions for almost all the questions. They have a detailed course available with them. One can easily build a solid foundation with their course.
What lacked for me was the exam readiness preparation from their side. On comparing the ESR from my attempt to my Egmat dashboard, things did not match. I knew of my strengths and my weaknesses which was not the same on their dashboard but quite inline with my ESR.
This is why i would urge each student to take up the free trail given by different courses and see if they are actually inline with your thinking process.
Dear devtashrey,
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback on our course. We are glad to hear that you found the video solutions and the course to be beneficial for building solid foundations.
We understand that our course may not meet the needs of every individual, and we appreciate your specific suggestions for improvement, especially to test out the trial versions of a course before coming to a final decision.
We are sorry to hear about your experience with the mentor guidance. We strive to put forward the best experience for you and we take every feedback as an opportunity to improve further.
We respect your opinion about the comparison of an ESR with the Scholaranium dashboard. However, the Scholaranium dashboard represents a comprehensive representation of your progress over more than 1000 questions in Verbal or Quant, not just the data from a single day,
Please reach out to us if you have any further suggestions or comments.
We wish you all the best for your next steps in the future!

Hi khandelwalsidd,
Congratulations on your 710!
Thank you for taking out the time and sharing your feedback and we are glad we could be part of your journey.
I am pleased to know that you found the meaning-based approach in Sentence Correction helpful and were able to see an improvement in your accuracy. Here is an image where your stronghold on the process translated into exceptional accuracy across SC blocks.

Although you were naturally strong in RC, it's great to hear that you still found the reading skills such as pause points and summarization helpful in improving your skills. It's impressive to see the effort you put into the course, as shown in the image.

You have rightly pointed out the importance of sufficient practice, even for individuals with an engineering background, when it comes to the quantitative section. Despite not having enough time to attempt all the lessons, you were able to achieve a Q48.
You made the most of your limited time by staying focused and as a result, you excelled in the test.
I, on behalf of the entire e-GMAT team, wish you all the best for the next steps.

Abha Mohan
