Coming from an engineering background, I was always confident of my quant abilities. But even after reading several different books to prepare for the verbal section, I was not confident of my verbal abilities, especially my CR and RC abilities. I attended free webinars on SC, CR and RC sections organised by e-GMAT and was impressed by its approach to the verbal section. Finally, I decided to sign up for the course as I prepared to give one last shot at the test.

e-GMAT assigns you a dedicated mentor from day one who helps you throughout your GMAT journey, providing weekly study schedule as well as motivating you from time to time. The verbal section begins with Master Comprehension section which lays foundation of your verbal ability. The SC section is based upon ‘meaning based approach’ which tremendously helps you in solving 700 level questions when grammar rules fail in helping you distinguish between answer choices. The CR section emphasises the ‘pre-thinking’ approach. The RC section teaches you ways to effectively read a GMAT passage, focussing on the bigger picture without getting bogged down into the details. Since, in verbal section, it is more about eliminating four wrong answer choices than selecting the correct answer choice, ways to identify wrong answer choices are taught. Trust me, it is very crucial to learn to eliminate wrong answer choices when it comes to verbal section. As is the case with verbal section, the quant section also contains a foundational module and is divided into different modules. Each module contains lectures on different topics, covering different quant abilities tested on GMAT.

Apart from the Sigma-X Mocks, the course content that helped me the most was cementing quizzes. These quizzes help you apply the skills that you learn by watching videos on the platform and ‘cement’ the concepts in your brain, making the complete solution process a natural reflex, a kind of muscle memory. This reflex boosts your confidence and saves time while solving a question. The platform also provides analytics of your accuracy and time for different question types in the sub-sections of both verbal and quant. These pictorials help you pin-point your strengths and weaknesses. You can either analyse these analytics yourself or simply drop an email to your mentor who provides his insight into your statistics. e -GMAT also provides one-on-one sessions with SMEs to help you with your preparation. These sessions are generally meant to pin-point your faltering points and to help you bridge any conceptual gap or make behavioural changes to your approach. One such session helped me identify my weakness and improve my CR ability, increasing my mock score by 30 points and eventually boosting my verbal score on the test. In addition to one-on-one session, the e-GMAT forum can be used for any queries pertaining to the concept or the process used to arrive at the answer. My only pain point was the Word Problems module of Quant section. I believe that word problem questions were way too lengthy and complicated to be solved within 2 min and not up to GMAT standards. These questions do teach you a systematic approach to solving different questions, but the module can, at times, become a bit overwhelming.

In the end, I would like to highlight the importance of sticking to the process. Believe in the process taught in the modules and no matter what do not change your process while under pressure during the test. I would like to thank my mentor Dhruv Sir and the complete e-GMAT team members for their support throughout my prep journey, and congratulate them on a job well done in developing the platform.

This is Akash. I scored a 740 (Q51 V38) on the GMAT with the help structured preparation from GMATwhiz.

After getting a 680 on my GMAT, I knew I had to work on my approach to solve the questions and also fine tune the concepts. That's when I came across GMATwhiz and after taking a call with Piyush I subscribed to its 2 month plan. I really liked how the AI gauged my abilities and helped me work on my weak areas in an efficient manner. The meaning based approach helped me reach 90% accuracy in SC. The 3 step GMATwhiz process used to solve CR and RC really helped me improve my verbal score by a massive 7 point. Again the AI powered quiz platform with its pinpoint accuracy helped me work only on concerned areas in Quant and accelerated me to a Q51.

Apart from this, the mentor support from GMATwhiz is amazing. Saquib analyzed my attempts really well and gave me accurate areas to work on. Maintaining an error log for RC helped improve my accuracy a lot.

Another thing that really impressed me about GMATwhiz was its mocks. The mocks predicted my score with an accuracy of 10 points. Even the adaptive platform that GMATwhiz uses guessed my score in the range of 730-750, which reflected in the actual GMAT.

The quality of questions in the whizquiz platform is another impressive feature. The questions prepare us well enough to easily handle the 700+ questions in the real GMAT, especially in RC. The analysis provided by GMATwhiz for each question does a pretty good job too. It not only explains why the answer is right but also explains why other options are wrong.

So, I can definitely say GMATwhiz is a perfect blend of AI and mentorship that guides you in the right path to achieve your dream GMAT score. I would recommend it to everyone aiming 700+.

I gave a test on 30th August and got a 640 with a Q49 V27. With R2 deadlines looming, I had one final attempt at GMAT. Having used GMAT Club for the bulk of my preparation, I came across eGMAT in the club and read great reviews. Hesitant at first, I attended a free webinar on one of the verbal sections and I was convinced that eGMAT could be the solution just 10 minutes into the webinar.

Since I had many other commitments in my life, I needed a way to prepare for the GMAT that was already structured and did not require my effort to organize what to study and when to study. eGMAT provided exactly that with a comprehensive study planner.

Though my study efforts were a it overestimated, I was nevertheless able to approach my preparation methodically. I had exactly 40-45 days for my preparation and eGMAT platform was able to help me make the best out of that time.

I was already comfortable with quant, so having finished the Arithmetic module (rather quickly, thanks to the PACE engine), I did not delve much deeper into Algebra or Geometry.

Verbal was my weakness and I needed solid improvement in the same. Knowing that the density of SC questions was the highest of the three question types, I started with the SC course (after the master comprehension course). The meaning based approach was extremely useful as it helped me develop a framework with which, by the time I reached the cementing stage, I was able to already pre-guess the right answers (and wrong answers!) without even looking at the options.

The fact that a certain order is emphasized (SC --> CR --> RC) is not for nothing. There is learning in SC that can be taken to CR and there is learning in SC & CR that can be taken over to RC. In essence, given my time constraints, I could not focus much on RC; however, the way eGMAT inculcates reading (and interpreting) techniques in SC and CR was helpful enough in RC.

After getting decent scores in my Sigma-X mocks, I was ore dependent on my own skills rather than on luck by the time the D-Day arrived and I was happy to end up with a 710 (Q50 V35).

I would wholeheartedly recommend the platform to new GMAT takers and repeat GMAT takers alike.

My last piece of advice to people deliberating on the which test-prep company to use - GMAT is a game (the adaptive test engine is literally one). There are rules in the game that may or may not hold good in real life. The key is to understand these rules and take them for granted while you play the game. With my little experience, I can say that the eGMAT team is one of the pro players and learning from eGMAT's platform can surely help you achieve your high score.

I used TTP to improve my quant score drastically. As my verbal was already quite strong, I did not use the verbal section at all.

For those who are rusty and weak on math, TTP is great for providing structure. It's incredibly comprehensive, and provides a dedicated study plan that helps to keep information fresh by forcing you to do do review quizzes after every chapter and module. My quant score improved from just above the mid 30s to a 48 on game day with TTP being my main prep source.

I would highly recommend TTP to anyone else looking for help with quant!!

Target Test Prep does an incredible job preparing students for the GMAT. The course takes a holistic and exhaustive view of the GMAT and ultimately delivers a user-friendly curriculum focused on mastery of fundamentals and underlying concepts rather than strategies to "hack" the GMAT. Because of TTP's distinctive approach, there was no question on the GMAT exam that I was not prepared for. I am truly a firm believer that by combining Target test prep's curriculum with hard work and dedication, anyone can obtain consistent, exceptional results. Would highly recommend this course to everyone and anyone thinking about taking the GMAT.

I thank the team at e-GMAT for helping me achieve this score. I actually got to know about e-GMAT through this gmatclub forum so i really felt that i surely have to share my experience here so that it can help more people like me.

One of the main reasons I've choosen e-GMAT is because of the reviews that I've seen about its verbal course and from the point I started my prep i was very much lagging behind in verbal. My diagnostic test was (620 - Q48 and V28).
The coursework for verbal was pretty thorough and it really helped me build my basics from scratch. The methodology and approach towards the questions from different sections was unique and with practice i improved a lot.

The best part of the e-GMAT according to me was the scholaranium where I almost practiced 5-6 custom quizzes everyday and reviewed those quizzes after taking them. I felt they were a little difficult than the official gmat ones and thats what i liked about it as I already had a good quant knowledge it helped me solve difficult questions and make mistakes during my practice so that i can go ahead and learn from those mistakes.

One last thing that I specifically wanted to mention is that e-GMAT probably has the best User Interface and level of details that goes into analyzing your time and mistakes is amazing. It is very very underrated and not many people talk about this but unconsciously it does make your life easier.

Overall I highly rate the verbal course and scholaranium of e-GMAT and they provide good support throughout your prep with the help of some really experienced startegy experts.

I would recommend TTP without hesitation.

I started using TTP after a failed attempt with another prep course, and I don't regret my decision.

My takeaways are the following:
1) TTP helped me demystify several aspects of the GMAT. We all know that the GMAT is a difficult test, but some elements are over-mystified.
2) The platform is neat and well-designed. You won't waste time navigating through the interface.
3) The course is comprehensive and somewhat extensive. But it has a purpose. The level of detail in each of the lessons is intended to help you master the topics tested on the GMAT. Don't feel discouraged by the quantity of the study material! I promise you that you'll go through each lesson with ease.
4) The calendar feature is amazing! At first, I struggled to organize my study sessions. But, when TTP introduced its Calendar feature, I had a clear idea of which lessons I had to tackle on a particular day.
5) The course has plenty of practice material. You'll have access to practice problems within each lesson and quizzes for each topic. I barely used other question banks.
6) The TTP team does an excellent job to help you whenenever you are stuck. Don't hesitate to ask them for help!

In the end, TTP helped me achieve a score of 700 (Q45, V40).

TTP is a brilliant course overall. After all the research I conducted, I found out that TTP is best known for it's Quant section prep, but the verbal is brilliant too. Even though I am a non-native speaker, I've always learned English how a native speaker would, and TTP's SC uses exactly those principles, with a clear and concise explanation for all the concepts tested. Moreover, the entire team at TTP is extremely helpful, it's incredible how they haven't run out of patience(lol). Scott, Marty and Jeff are the only ones I've had the pleasure of having an interaction with. Whether it's a question about the course, or a certain concept itself, they're always active on Gmatclub, and the Gmat subreddit. If you need one GMAT course, that won't break the bank, please choose TTP, your score will definitely do your decision justice.

I gave my first GMAT test in July and i got 490, the score disappointed me a lot. It made me doubt my preparation. To be honest I was overconfident and did not prepare well initially. I had bought egmat 5 months online course in April 2022 but i did not use it in correct way at all. I just used the course to practice questions more and more without actually understanding the process behind each type of questions which impacted me a lot during my GMAT.

After my first GMAT, I took time to clear my head regarding the doubts I had on myself. Once I cleared everything I extended my egmat course for one month and started preparing for min 2 hours everyday. Egmat verbal course was really helpful, it trained me in how to read a RC, how to think in CR and what all i look for in SC. I felt the verbal section of course has covered every inch of the topic and with lot of dedication and preparation this course really helped me to get a good score in verbal.

I havent used e-gmat quant course at all because I have always been very strong in quant. So i cannot comment on the quality of the quant section of the course. But what i can say is that the range of questions they have in Quant is very
extensive in terms of quality and quantity.

1 week before the exam I took 2 mocks from sigma-X mock tests. My mocks score were less. I got around 580-590 I panicked but I remember that during a egmat free SC seminar Mr. Rajat and Ms Payal has told that error analysis is very important. So I took my mocks and analysed every question that is when I realised that in all the verbal questions my thinking process was correct but either I was overthinking or I was misreading the option and choosing the wrong option. This error analysis made my realise that my basics are strong I just have to concentrate more on rejecting the wrong options. So, for the last week I concentrated on my option analysis and basics only and looked at my previous mocks and questions I answered.

On Oct 24,2022 i retook GMAT exam and I got 680. I am very grateful to each and everyoneof e-GMAT team who designed the verbal course.
