Overall feedback is the Course is not worth of the investment and the support only provide the robotic type of feedback as per book. I was literally studying for 6-7 hours a day for around 4-5 months in a very disciplined manner and I really thought I was improving but when I gave a mock I was at a 610-620 . I was given feedback to revise multiple times which i did but Alas the improvement was not not that great, the only one tutor Harsha whom i found worth giving feedback rest all the not worth the penny on the course we have spent.
The course is not helpful for the begginers but it can be helpful for the 2nd time test takers and for those who has completed the course.

Preparing for a standardized test can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to the GMAT exam. The Graduate Management Admission Test is a challenging test that requires diligent preparation and hard work. As a test-taker, it is essential to use all the resources available to ensure success.
After taking the GMAT exam for the second time, I found the questions to be quite challenging. However, this was a beneficial experience for me as it pushed me to go beyond my limits and improve my skills. Unfortunately, by the time of my second attempt, I had already exhausted all my available resources, such as the Official Guides, Verbal Review, Quant Review, and MBA.com mock tests.Despite this, I found a solution in Manhattan Prep's GMAT question bank. Their questions are well-constructed and challenging, which helped me to refine my skills and strategies. The Sentence Correction questions, in particular, were explained in a manner that was easy to understand, making it easier for me to identify and correct grammatical errors.
Using Manhattan Prep's resources allowed me to approach the GMAT exam with a fresh perspective and tackle questions that were similar in structure and difficulty to those found on the actual test. Additionally, the detailed explanations provided by Manhattan Prep allowed me to understand my mistakes and learn from them, which ultimately helped me to improve my performance on the exam.
In conclusion, taking the GMAT exam can be a challenging experience, but it is important to use all available resources to succeed. Manhattan Prep's GMAT question bank proved to be an excellent solution for me, providing me with well-constructed questions and detailed explanations that helped me to refine my skills and strategies. If you are preparing for the GMAT exam, I highly recommend utilizing Manhattan Prep's resources to maximize your chances of success.
TTP offers the most comprehensive GMAT Study Prep material. I also bought E-Gmat course but TTP Verbal course was much better and helped me understand many concepts in depth and it provides advanced and basic questions for each topic in the verbal section. Also Marty is a great tutor for the verbal section whose tutoring videos are available on youtube. TTP simplifies advanced concepts and helps you improve speed, accuracy and provides simple and efficient strategies for the verbal section. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to improve their verbal score to choose target test prep. Although I scored a V32 , I would have scored better if I had more time with TTP material but I was satisfied with my overall score due to Q50 which helped me get into MS CS.
I took the GMAT raw thinking I could beat the test and was severely mistaken. I knew a 640 wouldn't get me to where I wanted to go, so I did some research and purchased one of target test prep's packages. After studying for 4 months to complete the course, I took the GMAT again and scored a 750. A 110 point jump. Couldn't have done it on my own. They truly check every box to make sure you know the information and how to apply it. They made it almost impossible for the test to trick me come test day. If you're serious about getting the score you want, I would recommend target test prep.
I really enjoyed studying for GMAT with Target Test Prep. The wide range of questions for various difficulty settings helped me grasp the material first and improve my knowledge even further. I started with almost no knowledge in Verbal and I didn't think I could improve myself significantly in a few months. However, the course prepared me in the best way and I managed to get an even higher score on Verbal than I aimed for. I also loved challenging myself with the hard questions in Quantitative part. The lessons were very understandable and the questions were similar to the ones I encountered in my exam. I owe my success in GMAT mostly to the TTP. If you aim for a high score, I believe that TTP is the best course that will help you achieve your goal.
I scored 600 in my first attempt of GMAT. I decided to I have a call with Piyush from GMATWhiz after reading reveiws in GMAT club. He gave me roadmap of how I can use GMATWhiz for score improvement. Initial lessons on how to read and comprehend a sentence were the change makers in my preparation. After going through them, comprehension improved greately. I was able to hit 90% in SC section with meaning approach. GMATWhiz also provided excellent lessons and practice questions for CR, RC and Quant. Its AI tool provided precise suggestions for improvement. My final score is in the range of score predicted by AI. I was guided by Satyam Gupta who was my mentor. His suggestion during the prep and final tips before exam played crucial role in achieving my score. Thanks to GMATWhiz team!

Verified GMAT Classic score:
720 Q49 V39 (Online)
Because of high workload (combining full-time job in consulting and finishing my bachelor degree) I was able to start my preparation for GMAT only at the beginning of 2023. At the same time I had to pass the exam in mid February, so that I could have some time for preparing all the other things for the application. This all led to just one month of prep. I wanted to start on January 2, however I needed some time to recover, so I started only on the January 9. I took a vacation at my job for a month, however I still had 3 exams to pass at the university at that period. I completed my first free mock at e-GMAT on the January 9, then purchased the e-GMAT subscription and booked an appointment for GMAT the next day. My exam was set on the February 8, and that’s how my preparation started.
The reason for choosing e-GMAT for me was simple – my mentor with a score of 740 told me that e-GMAT was the best preparation service he used in his prep.
My mock result was 630 (Q47 V29). I knew, that Verbal section was my major weakness (as for many non-native speakers), so I focused on it for the whole prep period. And here comes the first thing I loved about e-GMAT: they provide extremely detailed analysis of your mocks and quizzes. From this analytics I knew, that my skills at RC are ok, but I have a lot to improve in SC & CR.
At this point I started e-GMAT Master Comprehension course. In fact, it solved my major problem: I was reading the questions multiple times but didn’t understand anything. After completing this course I felt a lot more confident as I started to fully understand the questions. Personally, I think this course is a MUST for non-native speakers if they want to achieve high Verbal score.
Then I started SC course. It was very difficult for my to memorize all the concepts in such a short time, however I did it pretty successfully. I should notice here that the approach to solving SC questions was extremely helpful. It gave me a straightforward structured way to solve both mid & hard difficulty questions. After completing the “theory” I moved to “practice”: I completed few quizzes in SC and saw a significant improvement, thanks again to detailed analytics provided.
At this point I had less then 2 weeks to my exam date and started CR course. While reviewing the concepts I understood that this type of questions is easy for me, so I did a review of my first mock again and noticed that my bad score was due to timing failure: I randomly clicked the last questions because of lack of time, which dropped my CR result (at the beginning of the mock I performed very well). That meant that if I fix my timing problems in SC (which I already did) I can already have a better result. This made me more confident, so I “rushed through” the CR “theory part”. I still completed all the course, but I was skipping some parts of videos, when I understood that I already knew these concepts well enough. Then I also did some quizzes and was left with 2 days before the exam. I’ve spent those on refreshing some formulas and approaches for Quant in express manner and took my exam.
So my improvements are:
630 -> 720
Q47 -> Q49
V29 -> V39
In the end I’d like to summarize all the thing I liked at e-GMAT (and that helped me to achieve such improvement in less then a month). The first and the most important thing for such express prep is the fact that e-GMAT is a great one-stop-shop for GMAT: it has theory courses, quizzes, mocks and personalized analytics all in one place. Secondly, courses structure and content are great: these are really MECE, so they provide you with all the concepts you need and do it in a way that you can memorize them fast. Thirdly, the overall quality of materials, UI/UX, tests was great. For me, it plays a great role in overall experience: if you are comfortable with using the tool, you’ll be able to extract maximum value of it, which is totally about e-GMAT. So, I really liked the product, I’m very thankful to the e-GMAT team and my mentor who recommended it to me.
Dear petrlavrenko,
Congratulations on a 90-point improvement to 720😊 What makes this success all the sweeter is that you achieved this feat in less than a month while balancing your university studies and GMAT preparation.
The commendable improvement from a V29 to a V39 in less than 30 days, is proof of your diligence and extraordinary grit. This image shows how by laying a solid foundation and using analytics on the platform, you improved your hard accuracy from 40% to 60% in SC while reducing the overall time taken to 1 min 24 sec
https://success.e-gmat.com/petrlavrenko-SC-Accuracy-Vs-Timing
The methodical approach that you employed to learn concepts and applications in SC helped you save overall time that in turn helped you apply process in CR allowing you to improve to an 80th percentile plus in CR. Refer to this image for the great CR accuracy across all blocks:

I am glad that after following this meticulous study plan, you were able to improve to 700 in your next SIGma – X mock. Further leveraging the analytical tools on the mock, you were able to identify areas that you need to concentrate on the last two days. This helped you improve to a 720 on your test date. This image here shows this amazing improvement:

petrlavrenko, a 10-point improvement in verbal from a V29 to a V39 is no small feat. You have displayed that with hard-work and determination, you can achieve all that you set out to achieve – hurdles like being a non-native speaker, strict timelines, and busy schedules just get transformed to steppingstones.
I, on the behalf of the entire e-GMAT family congratulate you again for this tremendous achievement and wish you all the best for your future endeavours.
Best Regards,

As I'm sure many of the people reading this have, I came across TTP while scouring reddit and GMATclub to find the best prep company. I decided to get the free trial and after I had used it for a day or two, I knew it was right for me.
The UI and course material of TTP is second to none and is really simple to understand! In terms of volume and quality for quant - TTP is the clear choice. Historically TTP has been known to not be very comprehensive for verbal but credit to the team for really building that out too!
The TTP instructors were highly accessible and were always happy to answer queries and to provide insights over mail.
Would definitely recommend taking this course for someone who is planning to get massive improvements in their score via a dedicated/clear action plan, especially for the verbal section. The math section also prepares one pretty well for the actual exam (which is much easier).
Kudos to their mentors & the LMP program in general - this program really enables one to focus on the right thing at the right time, without wasting much time in planning what/how one needs to study. The structured study plans/programs are definitely a highlight for a working individual who doesn't have much time to think/plan their prep. Mentors also enable you to move in the right direction & have a clear trajectory of what is needed/not needed in the whole preparation journey. Special shoutout to Akash who was always up for helping/guiding/supporting & mentoring me through the different learning phases!
In addition, the modules are structured in a manner that meets you in your own learning journey, without making it too generic/specific.
Lastly, the analytics/algorithm adds to your reflection journey by helping you pinpoint your weaker areas or areas of concern so you can create a more targeted revision plan & focus more on the weaker/strength areas.
Dear SS97,
Congratulations on your score of 710 with a remarkable Q49 and a V37! With this, you have crossed the 90th percentile mark in the GMAT exam.
If I have to give an example of someone never giving up, it will have to be yours. 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 CR hard questions from 60% to 80%, translating to greater than 90%ile ability, by adopting the pre-thinking approach effectively –

You maintained your diligence and perseverance through all 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 that the consistent approach helped you get to that V37 (81st percentile).

You effectively used the Scholaranium analytics and improved your time management abilities in Quant with each mock, making your success on the GMAT exam predictable. It was only a matter of time before you could replicate the same Quant score in your actual GMAT exam. The image below shows your journey in Quant from the mocks to the actual exam –

Dear sampathgelam,
Thank you for your feedback. This is Rashmi Vaidya, one of the senior mentors here at e-GMAT. I am really happy that you liked our material. I am also sorry that it did not help you improve your target score.
We understand that each student has a unique requirement, and no course is one size fits it all. I am sorry that you found our support wanting – we strive to make our students’ preparation smoother by offering customized and comprehensive support. On looking back into your account, we can see that between July’21 to January’22 we have satisfactorily resolved 44 of your queries. Each of our teams has been involved in responding to these queries – from Subject Matter experts and mentors to support staff. We noticed that in none of your correspondence have you pointed out that you are dissatisfied with our support or that you found it lacking, so I am assuming that the responses resolved your concerns at that time.
However, I understand that the suggestions did not help you improve your score, and I am sorry for that.
Regarding your feedback about the course not being for first-time test takers, I would like to say that a lot of our students are first-time test takers. They have made the most of the course – improving by massive points to reach their target scores. Here are a couple of examples of students who have improved by 150+ points to reach their target in the first attempt itself:
Devansh improved by 240-points to reach 720 in his first attempt: https://gmatclub.com/reviews/comments/e-gmat-online-360-345361979
Rohit improved by a massive 150-points to score a 740 in his first attempt. You can watch his interview here - GMAT 740 (Q50, V40) | 150-point score improvement | 90%ile in GMAT Verbal
We would like to thank you once more for your feedback. As a company, we truly value all the feedback that we get as it allows us to grow and help more and more students achieve their dream scores. While we understand that previously you were not able to improve, we would be more than happy to assist you if you are still looking for help in getting to your target.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Best regards,
Rashmi Vaidya
