Really great for a clear, simple, structured approach to GMAT prep for those just getting started. If you're looking to relearn the basics of math, their explanations (and interface) is stellar--I especially like the encyclopedic layout of all the math concept videos.
However, if verbal is where you're focusing, look elsewhere. I didn't find their verbal to be helpful anywhere past the 650+ level. Plus, their practice test score estimates are well, well below where you end up (e.g. 100+ point gap between their estimate and an official test the next week).
Good for people just getting started, but if you're past that--pursue other prep materials.
Here’s my review of e-GMAT.
After completing my BTech in 2021, I wanted to start my MBA preparation. So, I started without any guidance as I thought I wouldn’t need it.
Now, Having the zeal to prepare on your own is important so does having a right mentor, if not more.
After countless hours of research, I started using resources available on the internet but didn’t follow correct strategy nor was I on the right track. Despite all the hard work, I was stuck at mid 600s and the reason was obvious that I was just solving questions randomly under the impression that I knew all the basics already and that practice makes a person perfect.
But let me tell you this-It’s the RIGHT PRACTICE THAT MAKES YOU PERFECT.
Then I subscribed to e-GMAT(a friend suggested) to improve my VERBAL score as I was already good at QUANT.
Trust me when I say this- You only think you knew everything in verbal until you come across the course provided.
The attempt that the Verbal course designers made to try to make one understand each and every concept(relevant to GMAT Verbal) without one having to memorise is truly commendable.
I gave my Exam again on 1st March,2023 and scored 730(Q50,V39).
Here are the things I liked in the course from each of the three sections:
Sentence Correction(SC)-
I never would have thought of the concepts/application of the same, had I not come across the course. I loved the meaning based approach. I loved how the course sticked to the concepts relevant to the GMAT(I mean it was obvious of the amount of research you guys did while developing the course). The teaching really helped me to solve medium to hard question within 90secs.
Critical Reasoning(CR)-
Previously, I used to read the question,scan through the options directly and wonder how in the world could those options be relevant/correct in the context of the question. But the PRETHINKING process taught in the course not only helped me solve hard questions with ease but also developed my problem solving skills. Thanks team for this process. This process will help me in the real world too😎.
Reading comprehension(RC)- The strategies mentioned surely helped to speed up my reading and comprehending skills. And personally I believe that this section depends on the ability of the test taker ultimately.
Quizzes:
I liked the concept of cementing. I followed the plan to the tee and it is absolutely necessary to do so too. Reviewing the solutions to both correct and incorrect questions helped me to solidify the concepts.
Thanks to the team for responding to all my silly doubts/queries😅 within a day.
QUANT-
Kudos to the team for the PACE AI. I felt like it was tailed-made especially for me as I was already good at Quant and It helped me to save a lot of time by letting me avoid concepts that I was already good at and concentrate on solidifying the concepts in which I had some gaps.
Last mile push-
Last but not the least,
Let me talk about LMP(Last mile push though I thought it was Last minute Prep at first😂)
While there is no doubt about the Verbal course significantly improving my Verbal ability, I would also attribute my improvement (from V28 to V39) to LMP.
I followed the plan given to me, attempted test readiness quizzes and attempted two Sigma-X Mocks and scored 740,730 respectively. To my surprise, These mocks were very reliable as I got the exact score in my official GMAT as in my Sigma Mock.
Thanks Dhruv for prepping my plan, for conducting 1-on-1 sessions and giving me valuable insights, and responding to my mails immediately.
Thanks Payal for such a wonderful GMAT prep product.
My suggestion to all the aspirants,who feel at sea as to which prep course to go with, is to give it a try and you won’t regret.
To those who started your e-GMAT/already in the midway through the course, I would suggest you to trust the process, follow the course to the tee, make a habit of maintaining error logs, and analyse each and every answer choice to reassure yourself why you got it wrong or whether you got it right for the right reasons.
All the best!!
Hi Hope46s
Heartiest Congratulations to you on your 730 score!
A 60-point overall improvement combined with an 11-point Verbal improvement (V28 to V39) is certainly an accomplishment that needs to be shared and spread.
Your diligence throughout this journey has been at the core of your success.
As you have mentioned, you followed every suggested plan to the ‘TEE’. Your improvement in your CR abilities was due to the combination of your sincerity and the pre-thinking approach. This in turn led to a significant reduction in the takt time as well as can be seen in this image below

You followed a similar structured approach across all Verbal subsections, the result of which is apparent in your overall Verbal Scholaranium stats in the image below:

We are glad to know that you leveraged P.A.C.E. AI feature to save 30+ hours that helped you get to a Q50 in the most optimal time
At the end it all comes down to predicting success. The score you attained in your last Mock is exactly what you scored on the actual test. Hence you could predict that you were well on your way to success.

The e-GMAT course's emphasis on individualized training and assistance is one of its highlights. Students get access to live online sessions with professors who may provide criticism, answer questions, and offer suggestions on how to improve their performance.
An additional characteristic of the e-GMAT course is its interactive learning style. The course contains quizzes and practice exams that help students to apply and reinforce their knowledge of the subject matter. This helps pupils boost their confidence and enhances their GMAT performance abilities.
Overall, the e-GMAT course is an excellent resource for students who wish to improve their GMAT performance. The course is thorough, well-structured, and highly engaging, making it a great tool for individuals seeking to enhance their GMAT abilities and attain their goals.
Hey ruhin98,

I had a wonderful experience with GMATWhiz. While it has been over a year since I used the platform and almost 7 months since I gave the GMAT, it's safe to say that GMAT Whiz helped me refine all the concepts needed for performing well on the GMAT. Even though I had some quant background, the content delivery and the practice questions allow anyone to quickly grasp and utilise the concepts. The practice questions peppered in between and towards the end of the lessons help ensure that concepts are regularly tested and utilised. While the mock tests may need some improvement, their integration with the OG (you'll need to purchase the OG separately) allows you to create an error log within the platform and chart your progress well. While I did not utilise their chat facilities, I am informed that those also have a positive feedback. This course provides great value to anyone looking for a comprehensive test prep companion.

In all honesty, I could have saved a year if I had known about TTP earlier on. I was initially hesitant because of the price, as I do not earn in dollars. But TTP was worth every penny. So anyone who is confused where they need to start for the GMAT just get started this course is a life saver!
Just follow the course as they say. I covered all of quant first so you can do it one component first and then move to the other. Make sure to do every single question as Scott advises if you want to reach your score. The course is robust and the only thing you might need apart from the course is the OG question bank.
TTP is a wonderful product that helped me achieve a 700+ score over the course of 3 months. The study plan offered by TTP is extremely comprehensive and covers all the contents with great detail - both Quant and Verbal. It really helped me acquire the core skills that are required to succeed in the GMAT. Overall, it was incredibly useful to get a profound understanding of all the different topics tested in the GMAT prior to practicing with Official GMAT exams. TTP allows you to select the type of study plan that best suits your needs and, if you are willing to put in the time and hard work, I can guarantee you will achieve your target score.
The course was not very well designed or comprehensive. The UI also did not feel intuitive and some concepts did not feel relevant either. A lot of time was also dedicated to basic stuff repeatedly like how to create error logs and study which felt counterproductive and annoying after a point. For quant as well, the practice and the depth of questions were slightly off the mark and the content was repetitive and tiring. On the plus side, the course did cover all the major topics but needs improvement, customizations and a better UI to ensure that the content is engaging. The AI tool which gives suggestions needs some tweaking too.
Dear ssoniprady,
Congratulations on the impressive 720😊 This is Rashmi Vaidya, one of the senior mentors at e-GMAT.
I am glad that you liked our content😊 The ‘basic stuff’ in the course is important as we strive to create a comprehensive course that caters to all types of students – from the ones who are just getting started to the ones who are in the last leg of their journey. The content might be the same, but the path is customized based on the stage of the student.
I would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We are always striving to improve and evolve to meet the diverse needs of our students, and your suggestions will aid us in achieving this goal. Once again, thank you for your input.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Best regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
Good package for anyone who wants to revise concepts quickly and efficiently. In my opinion, these mocks are closest to the difficulty level of the actual GMAT exam. One of the key aspects of the mock tests is the detailed and interactive post-mock analysis based on individual sections, topics as well as the difficulty level of the questions along with the historical data on how a candidate has been faring in these sections. The interface is also similar to the actual GMAT test which helps the candidate to avoid any adjustments on the test day. I used the performance analysis tool in great detail to identify my weak sections after attempting every mock and to understand whether there has been any improvement in the performance or not. The tests also have video solutions available for all the questions.
It's a great course to strengthen concepts. However, if you are starting from scratch, you'd need to supplement e-gmat with Manhattan verbal books.
For SC, I had to go through the Foundation of Verbal by Manhattan. I was able to understand e-gmat course after going through FOV.
For RC, e-gmat is probably the best course. Though, I did get hard and M-H questions wrong, the way e-gmat teaches RC is straightforward and effective.
For CR, I found e-gmat course to be a bit confusing. pre-thinking does not always work. Also, I found some explanations to be insufficient.
For quant, the questions can get repetitive. For quant, I feel, once you've gone through e-gmat videos, practice using gmatclub's forum quiz.
Dear nikhilvsh,
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback on our course. We appreciate your honest opinion and are glad to hear that you found the structured videos, doubt support, concept quizzes, and Xpert Dashboard to be beneficial.
We understand that our course may not meet the needs of every individual, and we appreciate your specific suggestions for improvement.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the weekly doubt-clearing sessions. However, we have not found the need for that as we have found students to be satisfied with the detailed, timely response that SMEs offer on the internal forum/ emails.
We respect your opinion on the simplification of the Verbal course. However, many of our students who are non-native speakers have benefitted from the course. Here are a couple of examples of non-native students who have succeeded –
https://e-gmat.com/blogs/how-to-score-750-gmat-non-natives-success-story/ - Rohan Dalal, who managed a V40, even though he never had a formal education in English.
https://success.e-gmat.com/Petr-GMAT-720 - Petr Lavrenko, who managed a V39, explains in his review how the Master Comprehension course helped non-native speakers like him.
We would like to thank you once again for sharing your feedback with us. We value your input and will take your suggestions into consideration as we continue to improve our course. Please do not hesitate to 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!

Like the GMATwhiz concept although the videos are sometimes pretty slow and eating up much of our time plus the videos are like 35 minutes to explain the simplest concepts, also some of the videos are repeat telecast of those which are live sessions available on youtube,
Overall, great concept due to its personalization! The AI finds out weaknesses and trains them right away, but the mentors need to improve and they cant be sales person who will push you to buy tutoring sessions.
Overall the course is good and better than E-Gmat since i have used both and you can easily see the improvement of 50-60 Points
Other prep material as in?
