I found e-gmat's course for the GMAT to be incredibly valuable. The course content covered all the necessary topics for the test including Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Quant. The methods taught, such as the meaning-based approach, Prethinking and reading strategies, were particularly helpful in getting me more confident about the right answer, especially for the hard questions. The quality of the questions, mocks and analytics on the platform were also impressive. The mentorship support was also very helpful, the mentors were always available to answer any questions I had. The Last Mile Push program was a great addition to the course, it helped me to focus on my weaknesses and improve my score. Overall, I highly recommend e-gmat to anyone preparing for the GMAT.

I had invested more than a year of effort and two average attempts at GMAT before I discovered the GMATWhiz course.I honestly wish I had discovered the course sooner. The programme helped me realise where I was going wrong and what steps I needed to take to bridge gaps and improve my skills.

I strongly recommend this programme to everyone because it is designed to provide the benefits of both a self-paced programme and an in-person class room programme. Prior to GMATWhiz, I often felt uncertain of my abilities. But at GMATWhiz, it's all science, and there's nowhere to hide. The AI algorithm charts your plan and assigns you weekly responsibilities, the Whiz creates quizzes based on your strengths and weaknesses, and the dashboard keeps track of your progress. The team is prompt and thorough in responding to questions on the forum. All of this helps intelligently prepare for the exam and save on time and effort. I also benefitted greatly from check-ins with my mentor, who helped me realign and hone my skills.

Before GmatWhiz, I would usually lose track at the end of practice tests. I would focus too much on one topic and end up compromising on the others. It was an unending circle. However, at GMATWhiz the approach to practice tests is super efficient. First of all the GMATWhiz practice test, unlike other providers on the market, uses a similar algorithm to the original practise tests. The AI analyses your performance at the end of each test, charts recommendations in the form of videos to watch and exercises to practise, and provides an estimate of your score improvement if you follow the plan. They also feature an accurate score predictor that considers your performance throughout the course. My gmat scores matched the ones predicted on the platform.

The scientific approach to studying, end to end guidance and the quality of content is what truly sets this course apart from other players in the market. I am super happy with my experience and have continued with the team to take on admission consulting services.

Here's my GMAT journey :
I decided to go with GMAT exam in 2019. Since I already prepared for CAT in India, I thought I won't need any new coaching. So I bought the official guide and advanced guide. watched few youtube videos on Sentence correction rules. I was fairly confident after solving the official guides so went with official mocks. As far as I remember, below are the scores.
Official mock 1 - 730
Official mock 2 - 700
Official mock 3 - 710
Official mock 4 - 720
These scores were right in my target range and these were official mocks, that too 4 of them. What confirmation else do I need? "This is most accurate prediction of what my actual score on GMAT might be" I thought. Boy was I so wrong.
I gave my first official GMAT attempt in December 2019.
After the exam, the score popped up - a 650. This was devastating. This is not even close to my official mocks.
I was dissapointed. But I had only close to 2 years of experience and I knew that average work experience in US MBA colleges is around 5 years. So I knew I have time.

I kept preparing from other sources that I could find for next 1.5 years. But this was not a serious preparation, not even close. Fast forward to October 2021. I decided to ramp up my GMAT preparation as I have almost 4 years of work ex in next 4 months. I watched few youtube free sessions and e-GMAT caught my attention.
Why?? Because they had a super power. They read my mind. After the great GMAT debacle of 2019, I went into retrospection mode. And in my retrospection, all strategies and concepts that I realized were cause for my low score, were specifically mentioned by e-GMAT also to be major causes for lower scores of candidates in the GMAT. They also kept giving importance to 'No shortcuts to success in GMAT' mantra.
So I signed up and looked at the free modules and realised that this might be the course that I needed. I purchased the course in January 2022.
I blindly followed their module because, as I mentioned earlier, they were reading my mind. For every time some skepticism popped up in my mind be it about my ability or whenever I felt like I don't have it in me to succeed in GMAT, they already had a video debrief on youtube with candidates who went exactly through what I was going but still got a great GMAT score. This boosted my confidence that it is not just me - everybody feels the same - If they could do it - I can too. So I kept going with the modules, cemeneting quizzes, test readiness quizzes and finally the mocks.
The mocks are the most important of all as they even showed how the scored progressed with every question/block that I attempted. This helped me with coming with my own startegy that suits my personal style. 1 week before the GMAT official exam, Payal Tandon reached out to me saying that they observed inactivity on my account and asked me if there were any change of plans. I told that I have my GMAT exam in next 5 days. They immediately assigned me a mentor under Last Mile Program. Unfortunately I had only 3 more days to do what the suggested based on my weak areas. Yet they made a plan and scheduled video call sessions to help in with the last leg.
D-Day, I gave my exam on June 30th 2022 (offline centre exam) and it was 700.

Then I joined the ELP program to get feedback from mentors and followed their advice.
I gave my 3rd attempt after 2 months from my second attempt and the score 740 flashed on my screen.

Thanks to e-GMAT for their well-structured course and for not selling 'tricks to ace GMAT' just to onboard as many students as they can.
Special thanks to Rida Shafeek for taking time and mentoring me in the last days of my exam.

For anyone trying to decide which online course to go for, I will 100% recommend e-GMAT.

Reaching 720 has been a roller coaster ride, and throughout this ride my constant partner has been e-GMAT Online Course. The more I say about the well-structured course, interactive interface, easy to comprehend material, humongous question pool, and realistic Mock Exams, the lesser it is. And most importantly, a very special thanks to the extremely talented, prompt, and professional team at eGMAT, especially Ms. Rashmi. The kind of handholding she did in the last phase of my preparation, especially focussing on my weak spots, providing step by step approach, following up on my progress, I can’t thank her enough for her role in my success story.

I appeared for the GMAT exam for the first time in 2018. Since I am an engineer and loved maths and had this feeling that I am good at English, I reached the exam hall with 2-3 months of self-study with official GMAT materials and came out with a disappointing 660(Q49 V30). Disappointed with this score and then overwhelmed with family and professional responsibilities I dropped the idea of GMAT.

In Dec 2021, I realized that in order to break the monotonous job cycle, I need an MBA and hence a good GMAT score. And this time i would not be approaching the exam ill prepared. I analyzed my weaknesses and simultaneously researched for the best online course to prepare with. And my thorough analysis led me to ‘eGMAT Online Course’. I started the preparation, but it wasn't a smooth ride till around July 2022, because of my demanding work schedule. Only in July I started following the structured approach as per eGMAT course structure. I started with SC, followed by CR, and then RC. Quants, I approached last. And for each of these sections, I followed the eGMAT’s principles as it is:

SC:
eGMAT course adds a whole new dimension to approaching SC sentences. The Meaning based approach that you learn is the only solution to 700 range questions. There is no way around this for anybody 🙂

CR:
Pre-Thinking approach not only saves a lot of time, but also, it's very organic and lays out a methodical framework which an engineer like me needs to solve problems.

RC:
Reading for GMAT is unlike any other reading approach. The art of visualization that I learnt after going through the course saved time and improved my accuracy, especially on 700+ questions.

I completed the course going through concepts, application files, solving cementing quizzes and scoring 740+ on mocks. I appeared for an exam in Aug 2022, and my score bombed at 680. I was devastated. I had zero doubts about my preparation, but probably the pressure of the actual GMAT exam, or probably the difference in aspect ratio of my small sized laptop vs the big screen in exam center, or probably the discomfort of big sized noise cancellation headphones became some of the reasons for the tanking of my score.
I immediately approached the eGMAT team and they offered me the LMP program. I was skeptical about that, so I declined, but Ms Rasmi from the eGMAT team was kind enough to motivate me for a reattempt.

I booked a slot in Sept 2022, and from that point of time to the exam date, the kind of support I received from Ms Rashmi has been invaluable. I was very thorough with eGMAT material, and the eGMAT strategies for each of the sections. Ms Rashmi identified my weaknesses by analyzing my past tests scores, approach to questions etc. That’s where I would like to mention the GUI and kind of data analytics the eGMAT software platform does is amazing. eGMAT team even extended my subscription by 11 days short of exam without a single penny on my request, else I would have to pay entire subscription amount. And, her step-by-step guidance led me to break the 680 ceiling and I scored 720. It was indeed a very happy and satisfying day for me. Thanks to the entire eGMAT team.

Overall, an outstanding GMAT prep course. For each module, I first had to complete a diagnostic test, based on which, I was given course material to complete. This approach was something that I really liked.

Each practice problem for quant had a detailed solution approach - video solutions for tougher problems as well.

For verbal, on the other hand, each question type in CR, RC and SC had its own systematic approach that was well-tested by some amazing mentors and program creators.

As I like to study on my own, in my own pace, this prep course was the perfect fit for me. The AI was great at giving constructive feedback and in case of any doubts, the tutors and mentors were always within reach. Each query never took more than 24 hours to get resolved.

I strongly recommend the prep course to anyone starting from scratch. I was able to get a 150 point increase within 3 months, thanks to the methodical prep course.

Attributing to the amazing support that the team provided, I also chose them for admissions consulting. To my surprise, the support there was even more extensive. I was initially lost, having only knowledge of the schools as per rankings. The consultants reviewed my profile, discussed my career path with me and then suggested schools that I could apply to, aligning with my career goals. They also helped with writing the essays and were a constant source of guidance and support throughout the application process.

I enrolled with e-gmat towards the end of June 2022, after spending some months on my GMAT prep with another test prep company and a mediocre GMAT score. Getting an e-gmat subscription changed the whole course of my GMAT prep. I earlier relied a lot on guess-work and instincts to pick an answer choice. Later, the whole process became entirely logic driven and concept based. What I loved about e-gmat -

i. Course structure

The e-gmat course has been wonderfully designed with superb analytics and a student-friendly user interface. I was initially asked to take a sigma-X mock, and using results of that score a personalised study plan (PSP) was created for me. The PSP took into account my current abilities and amount of time I could devote to my GMAT prep and came up with the plan that I needed to follow in order to achieve my target score. The plan was designed in the most optimum possible way.

ii. Course content

The e-gmat team has wonderfully designed the entire course content. Each module, be it Verbal or Quant, has been so beautifully designed, that a student need not refer alternate resources for anything. The Master Comprehension module was really useful. It put me in the habit of consciously reading, with an intent to absorb the meaning. The content videos are short and crisp, and cover the subject matter comprehensively. The practice files and the application files after each concept videos helped me solidify my understanding before moving to the next concept. Although I initially planned to use the subscription for the Verbal course, I ended up going through their Quant modules as well!

iii. Methods learned

I. SC
The e-gmat methods of learning were a game-changer for me. I earlier relied on a lot of guess-work and luck to arrive at the correct answer. For SC, their meaning-based approach helped me understand the meaning of the question statement and the author’s intent. This is a very crucial step, as it helped me eliminate answer choices that were grammatically correct but worded in such a fashion, that the meaning changed entirely. The meaning-based approach is especially useful when it comes to solving Hard level SC questions.
II. CR
I can’t emphasize enough on the usefulness of the pre-thinking activity in CR. For a major part of my GMAT prep journey, I ended up with 2 answer choices in CR. I would then end up choosing either of them, and thought that there was nothing I could do to change this. The pre-thinking approach helped me pause, and visualize the entire argument. It precisely helped me visualize the conclusion and come up with a solid framework to analyse the answer choices. This entirely eliminated the need to revisit the question stem, and read the answer choices again and again. I was able to confidently mark the correct answer choice. I took a lot of time to develop this habit, but my mentor Rashmi, provided me with a lot of tips and plenty of useful content to perfect this process.
III. RC
Honestly, I had discounted it initially, leading to a poor accuracy in RC. But after following the e-gmat structured approach to RC, I realized how important it is to tackle RC in the right way. The modules are wonderfully designed and focus a lot on comprehending the passage and understanding the author’s intent. It helped me consciously absorb the meaning and the tone of the author. It enabled me to identify the incorrect choices and select the correct one on solid grounds.
IV. Quant
The quant module is very thoughtfully designed. The PACE module saved me a lot of time and allowed me to focus on only those modules that were necessary. The entire quant module emphasizes on process skills, and following these process skills clearly enabled me to approach quant questions the right way. It eliminated any possibility of making errors while solving questions. Each concept video in quant wonderfully explains the concept, along with adequate questions for practice to solidify your understanding.

iv. Analytics / Questions / Mocks

The best part of the e-gmat course is the Scholaranium. The quality of questions and the solutions provided to it are top-notch. They resemble a lot with the questions on the GMAT. After each practice quiz, the analytics came up with really good recommendations and quickly highlighted my weak areas and what I could do to polish those. The Cementing quizzes after each module helped me cement my concepts in the best possible way. It also identified any gaps and my mentor would then guide me how to polish those. The custom quizzes feature allowed me to practice test-readiness, by allowing me to pick and choose questions from any topic and practice it. The sigma-X mocks provide a very close representation of the actual test, and are a great way to guage your performance.

v. Mentorship support and Last Mile Push program

Rashmi, my mentor from the e-gmat team has been a blessing in this entire GMAT journey! She would analyze my performance in every module and provide me with a clear road-map for the next steps. She would come up with very detailed analysis of my quiz attempts and provided me plans that I could follow with my work commitments. After she onboarded me in the Last Mile cohort, she came up with an elaborate plan specially designed to help me get to my target score. She designed a module-wise improvement and revision plan, keeping in mind my time constraints and other commitments. The amount of effort she has put in to help me get to my target score is HUGE. It wouldn’t have been possible without Rashmi’s effort. At times the plans that she made me follow and revisiting modules when I didn’t perform well on the practice tests felt cumbersome. But she kept me going, motivated me when I felt low and not-so-confident about my performance on the test. Huge thanks to you, Rashmi! The Last Mile Push program is a great product designed by the e-gmat team. It helps you push your score beyond the upper-600’s to reach the 700’s. the support team at e-gmat is always an e-mail or a call away, I can only advise students to follow to your mentor’s suggestions to the last T!

Overall, the e-gmat is a wonderful product to cater to all your GMAT prep requirements. The course content along with the mentorship support is fantastic! I’d like to thank the entire e-gmat team in helping me achieve my desired score!

I scored a Q39 in my first diagnostic mock using the GMAT Official Practice Exam which wasn't a great score. I tried using other resources to improve my Quant score but wasn't doing too well with them. I learnt about TTP through a YouTube video review and decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. The program is well-structured and ramps up in difficulty gradually for each topic so that you get the basics right before you move on. The explanation provided for everyone question is clear and helpful - I never felt confused while reading them to understand why I went wrong.

It took me about 2 months of regular studying to finish the course (excluding the weeks spent doing only practice tests and reviews), though this should be taken with a pinch of salt as my schedule was quite flexible. The length of the course is long and shouldn't be underestimated, but this means that you will definitely get to understand your concepts pretty well. For me, even if I still struggled at the harder questions, it was more than enough to get my confident in dealing with questions of medium difficulty and that says a lot for someone who always have had trouble with maths.

Even by my final official practice test, I scored a Q45. This isn't great for some people but for me it was sufficient since I was doing well for my verbal section. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I scored a Q47 for my first actual GMAT. I highly recommend this course for anyone who has always struggled with maths - the structure and concise explanations will benefit you greatly, as well as the frequent review tests that come every few chapters. The study plan that is generated for you is very realistic as well based on the number of hours you're willing to spend per week or daily. If you're unsure, give the 5-day $1 trial a try (make sure you use it daily!); that was what got me convinced that TTP was the course for me.

Initial preparation by myself:

I started to seriously focus on GMAT in May 2022. I had just moved to a new country and was settling into a new job, while juggling a bunch of extracurricular activities. Having gone through the Official Guide already, I knew I needed help to get an attractive score for a top b-school, help particularly in Verbal. While I enjoyed solving CR questions, I was quite slow with RC and SC was my worst enemy. I often felt confused even after reading SC solutions as I lacked the appropriate knowledge of gmat SC rules.
I began researching options and found a lot of positive reviews for e-GMAT, so I decided to put my bet on it. I had scheduled my first exam on July 28th. I had roughly 2.5 months to prepare. In those 2.5 months I went through all the verbal concepts in e-gmat, completed the advanced OG book, and tried all the official mocks. I was repeatedly scoring 740, 750 in the official mocks with Q50s and V40s. I felt really pleased. I thought I would be done and dusted with gmat in no time. Gee, was I wrong. My official score of 680 (Q47, V35) glared back at me. I was mortified. I didn’t even reach 700.

Targeted Improvement with the help of e-gmat mentor:

I wrote to e-gmat asking for guidance on my strategy for re-attempting it. That’s when Rashmi, my strategy mentor came into my life like an Angel. I also realized I had under-estimated GMAT quant. The quant in the official guides and mocks is actually a lot easier than the real exam. This had taken me off guard. I also realized I needed to practice applying SC concepts better as I was often guessing between 2 options.
Rashmi helped me identify weak areas and prepare an improvement plan to go over the concepts I needed help in. It was then that I started using Scholaranium (e-gmat’s question practice tool) too. Rashmi helped me prepare customized tests to cement the concepts I learnt. Scholaranium is honestly a wonderful tool that has a large pool of gmat-style questions categorized based on difficulty, sub topic etc. You have a lot of flexibility to cater your practice to your specific needs. Scholaranium’s pool of hard quant questions actually reflect the difficulty level of the kind of questions you’ll face on test day. I had scheduled my exam for November. In between preparation I had a few obstacles like a knee injury, covid, travels related to family emergencies etc. Although we hadn’t completely finished the improvement plan I decided to still give it a shot and attempt the test as I was hoping I could apply for this upcoming application cycle. I scored 700 (V38, Q48).

Final attempt:

I was happy to reach 700s, but I wanted to improve it further. I came to know about e-gmat’s last mile push program - an intensive 30 day focussed plan. Rashmi made my life easier by laying out each day’s plan and tracked my progress through interactive dashboards. It felt motivating to see the plan ahead of time and encouraged me to meet each milestone on the targeted date. The last week of the plan, we spent doing a couple of sigma mocks in which I scored 740 (Q48, V42) and 750 (Q49, V42). I felt a lot more confident with verbal and started enjoying SC questions too. I went through the SC concept files multiple times to solidify my understanding of the process and rules. I was able to eliminate each option on solid grounds a lot more confidently. I ended up scoring a 720 (Q48, V41).

Introspection:

In hindsight I feel I could’ve improved my quant a bit more, but I am happy with the 720 and extremely happy with the V41. Also during the actual exam after my break I got lost in the test center and wasted ~4 minutes of my time for verbal while I found my way back to the correct room. So didn't expect to get a good score as I was writing it. :P

Product Strengths:

-Great mentors to be by your side and give you individual attention
-Wonderful Verbal Concepts course
-Great pool of questions reflecting actual GMAT standard in an organized manner so that you can curate your practice
-PACE enabled quant course to help you focus on subsections you need.

Would make the product better:

-Bigger pool of quant hard questions as most of the GMAT qns are of that difficulty.
-SMEs give timely responses, but the responses are not always helpful. But I enjoyed reading all the previous doubts/conversations from other students and even most of the responses from the SMEs are good.
-Revisit the actual content of the qns. I encountered qns that confirm to gender stereotypes which was a bit disheartening. I did mention this to the team citing specific examples. They responded positively and said they will look into it. So I'm hopeful this will change soon :)

I would HIGHLY recommend this course. I've taken other courses and showed little to no improvement. TTP REALLY is the way to go. I have been out of College for over 10 years and forgot a lot of things. TTP starts and builds on the basics in an amazing way. It really is the only product out there that can get you a 220 point score improvement. It's an amazing product that you can take at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. I also did some tutoring with TTP tutors along the way and it's a great way to cement in topics you are having troubles with. 10/10 recommend for anyone out there looking to improve your score on the GMAT.

TTP was an incredible product that helped me achieve a score of 770 after 4 months of studying. It's comprehensive and covers everything you'll need to know to get a great score on the GMAT. That said, you have to put in the work and trust the process. It took me 500+ hours studying approximately 25hr/wk to go from a 640 to 770. Big shoutout to Jeff, Marty and Scott from TTP for their help on throughout my GMAT journey. I couldn't have done it without them.

Tip: Although TTP is a great tool to achieve a great score, for those that want to achieve mastery, I'd highly recommend going through as many of the GMAT Official Guide questions as you can after you've completed the TTP course. There's no such thing as overpreparation, Make sure you rest your mind before the big test and work on managing your time and anxiety.
