This is the best bang for the buck if you like self-study like I do. There is everything here needed for you to get a Q50 or Q51. If you do not have a solid math base, the program will get you there. And if you have a solid base to start with, you can do like me (though it might not necessarily be their recommendation) and do the chapter tests and read the chapters as you need to refresh. There are three different difficulties (easy, medium, hard) for each of the topics and both PS and DS exercises. Doing their DS exercises was my prep for Data Sufficiency.

I also really liked the Sentence Correction course. The cherry on top is the fact that you can speak to a member of the staff at any time through their chat. I needed some guidance after taking the diagnostic prep and also needed general advice after taking my exam and they were very helpful.

Instructor Jamie Nelson

Location Online

Came in with a 36-7ish range in Verbal. Had a 44 on practice tests senior year of college but 3 years of emails led to poor grammar habits. Knew I wanted to transform my verbal approach and Jamie was excellent at giving us ways to methodically work through every question type.

Overall Jamie is a very patient instructor who gave good problem solving tricks and methods that were easy to remember on test day. Comes with decades of GMAT-specific teaching experience. She always stayed after class to answer questions which was good, as the 3 hours seemed to fly by every week!

Only Tool Needed for Quant, Provides Great Foundation for Verbal

Course Target Test Prep Maximum Learning

Location Online

Spending 15+ hours per week, it took me over 3 months to work through all of the material and practice questions. For a typical user, this material will most likely take you 4+ months to complete.

The platform provides a structured approach to GMAT preparation. TTP offers the best Quant prep compared to any other test prep provider. While I had a strong math skillset to begin with, TTP helped me lock in a Q51 on 2/3 of the official tests I took. I'm convinced that anyone with some aptitude for math can score a Q50 through TTP alone if they put the work in. For Verbal, I felt TTP excelled at setting the correct mindset and approach for CR and RC. I believe SC is TTP's weakest aspect of the platform. TTP goes through all the core topics well for SC. However, there are not a lot of practice questions for SC and the practice questions that are given tend to be much harder than those seen on the actual test. While this can be ok for some, as someone who was weaker in SC, I felt that I had to complement my TTP learnings with questions from GMATClub and other question banks. I did not feel this same need for any other Quant or Verbal sub-section.

Despite the above, TTP is the first platform I recommend to anyone starting to study for the GMAT. It simply has everything. Post TTP, I got a Q51 on 2/3 actual tests. I got a perfect CR on one test and a perfect RC on another. I feel that these achievements are predominantly due to my learnings from TTP. While TTP helped me develop my SC skills, I needed other materials to help get me to a 98th percentile score for SC. I encourage others to do the same. TTP should serve as the foundational test prep on someone's GMAT journey, with other supplemental materials added when needed.

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

Target Test Prep helped me understand the principles behind the questions on the GMAT exam, gave me large amounts of practice problems with which to test my understanding, and helped me pinpoint areas of weakness for further review. TTP focuses on teaching the foundations of mathematics, grammar, and logic rather than teaching “tricks”, allowing users to develop greater consistency in answering the GMAT’s questions. TTP also helped to lend structure to my preparation efforts, by virtue of being organized into chapter form and roughly alternating between verbal and quant test topics. Additional helpful features included notes on how to efficiently parse questions to determine what grammar principle or math technique to use to solve the problem.

Course Experts' Global Complete GMAT Prep Online

Location Online

I was introduced to this course through a friend who was kind enough to let me try her purchased course free of cost for a month. Until then, I had based my preparations on the books from a renowned test prep company without indulging in a lot of practice. After receiving access to the course, I immediately took a mock test and scored 370. This score shook me up and made me realize that my preparation was not up to the mark in spite of the effort made to brush up on all the content from the books. I decided to purchase the Experts' Global Full Access course for 2 months in August and later extended it for another 4 months in October. The course helped me develop a methodical approach toward the test with a good split between theory and practice. When my score plateaued around 650, the GMAT Club acted as a perfect ally to go along with this course towards the last leg of the preparation. The EG Tests predicted an average score of 710 and I was elated to see the same score on my first GMAT attempt. I can vouch for the course and recommend it to anyone who wants a well-structured prep at an amazing price. The access to 15 Mock Tests is the icing on this cake of a course!

Course e-GMAT Mentorship

Location Online

E-Gmat went above and beyond. They have helped me overcome all the difficulties I faced during my preparation for the big day. If you are looking to ace the gmat, E-Gmat is your best bet!
At first, I tried studying for the GMAT on my own, but as most people following my strategy would eventually realize, you can only go so far flying solo. So I had to request assistance from professionals. E-Gmat was the answer. With the help of my mentor Rashmi, who devised a very efficient study plan, I was able to progress step by step and reach new heights. It is her guidance and perseverance that contributed to my success. With her help, we were able to address lingering weaknesses and recurring flaws which I could have never solved on my own.
Her time and devotion to my GMAT journey outweigh all costs that I incurred during my training. I cannot possibly thank her and the members of the e-Gmat team enough for their contribution to my preparation as they paved my way to success. They make learning fun and worthwhile!

Dear JadKhairallah,

Congratulations on a humongous 200-point improvement to 680😊, with a 23-point improvement in quant and a 14-point improvement in verbal.

Being a non-native speaker, you knew that GMAT verbal was a challenge. You did not let this deter you but rather followed a structured approach to build the ability.

The time that you invested in building the foundation and then mastering the meaning-based approach really helped you improve your SC accuracy across all blocks that helped you go from 34%ile to a 70th percentile ability in SC:

I am really glad that you leveraged the data analytics on the Scholaranium to identify and work on your areas of weakness. See how this data-driven approach helped you improve to a 75% accuracy in CR while reducing the overall time to 1min 48sec:

In Quant, I am glad the course architecture of introducing concepts and applications and then testing it out through practice quizzes was helpful. This along with a structured, data-driven approach helped you improve by a massive 23-points to a Q48.

During GMAT prep, being able to predict ability and understand areas of improvement points is critical. I am happy that the SIGma-X mocks were helpful not only to predict your final score but identify areas of improvement and track your progress. This image shows and how the SIGma-X mocks were able to predict the final score:

Jad, I must say, it has been wonderful working with you as your mentor and I am impressed with the hard work you put into the preparation. I wish you all the best for your future.

Best Regards,
Rashmi Vaidya

Course Target Test Prep Dedicated Study

TTP is the best way to prepare for the GMAT, period. The content is well-structured, and ensures that your base of knowledge as it relates to the type of questions asked is very strong. I was initially skeptical about the efficacy of an online course, but there is a reason why so many people, including myself, recommend this course. It is comprehensive, and perhaps most crucially, it has features that eliminate so much of the administrative pain associated with studying. The integrated error log as you progress through the score is so helpful. Same story with the TTP analytics, which help hone in on weak areas.

If you put the effort in, a fantastic 700+ score is possible.

I was stuck at a plateau of 700/710 and saw no way out. I took one month of the TTP course for verbal and some sections of quant and it was a game changer. The curriculum was very well structured and covered all important aspects needed. I followed the course cover to cover and did all the quizes as they came. Within 30 days, I saw a great improvement in my concepts and was able to apply them much better. After that, I re solved the Og and my practice tests had over 30/40 point difference. Would recommend to anyone aiming for a 700+

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

I was referred e-Gmat by a friend and I'm so glad I referred to the e-gmat platform to get through the GMAT exam.
Some highlights of the platform and the e-Gmat team that are relevant for anybody considering e-gmat for their preps
• e-Gmat provides a structured approach to preparing for the test- this process driven approach really helped me in the verbal section in which topics are interlinked to a large extent and can be overwhelming even for some one who knows good English.
• The PACE tool in QA helped me in saving time in concepts I already had a good hold
• The subject matter and strategy experts are very helpful. All communication happens through emails and I always got a prompt response for my queries. My mentor, Akash, provided a lot of assistance by preparing customised plans and strategies for the test- he always kept me motivated. Overall, the e-Gmat team is great. Never felt like I’m dealing with people here to make money- it was more like the team is there to help me- in my opinion its very important to feel that way.
• All in all, great team, fabulous platform- never faced any technical issues and strong credibility.

Hi Govishta ,

Akash here from e-GMAT.

Congratulations on 680 and thank you for taking out the time to share your feedback!

You trusted the process and followed a structured approach throughout your preparations. I am glad that you could leverage P.A.C.E. and that it helped you save time on the Quant side of preparations.

Here is an image showcasing you were able to save 8 hours in your Number Properties preparations using the P.A.C.E. engine.

Thank you for choosing e-GMAT and we wish you continued success in your future endeavors.

All the best!
