I bought a subscription to TTP after my friend recommended it to me. I was so lost trying to find an effective yet digestible way to study for the GMAT, and I was pleasantly surprised with the TTP course. The Study Plan it provides is tailored to your score goals and simply lays out content, tests, quizzes, etc. My GMAT studying was a bit rocky from putting it off because of a girlfriend to going through a breakup to eventually scoring a 720. Throughout everything, though, I really attribute TTP to my sustained grasp of the material and its Study Plan that really drilled the material into my memory.

Highly recommend TTP to anyone looking to score high on the GMAT at a bargain.

My background and my score before purchasing e-GMAT course-
I am non-native English speaker and I did my primary and secondary education in my mother tongue – Marathi. So, I was not much accurate with English grammar, lengthy sentences and big passages. I come from engineering background. Before starting my GMAT preparation, I took a mock to see what my starting score is. I searched on Google for a mock test. Coincidently, I gave e-GMAT sigma-X mock. My score was 520 (Q44 V19). So, there was long way to my target score of 700+. By the way, e-GMAT gives excellent analysis of all sigma-X test result.

Why I chose e-GMAT-
As verbal was my weak area, I was looking for course that shows its effectiveness on verbal. When I analyzed all courses available on Gmatclub, e-GMAT was one that captured my attention the most. After going through free trial, I found the course worth to put my efforts into.

My experience with e-GMAT-
Master comprehension module - At start of verbal section, there is master comprehension module. It taught me some techniques that helped me understand and recollect maximum information from I read. In my view, e-GMAT verbal course is great for non-native speakers.
SC module- 3 step process that SC course suggests is excellent way to solve the SC question. Sentence structure breakdown, meaning-based approach, and asking probe question were the keys to my improvement in SC.
CR and RC module- By following e-GMAT Pre-thinking approach for CR, You understand the argument so thoroughly that choice elimination becomes a lot easier. RC became my very strong area after following the e-GMAT process of getting immersed in the passage.
Cementing process- cementing process of e-GMAT basically made me so much familiar with concept and process of solving both quant and verbal questions that I did not forget what I studied as time passed. Queries that I posted on forum were answered very logically. I was really impressed with analysis that e-GMAT SMEs provided.
Finally, strategy experts did excellent analysis of my mock tests and gave me action plan to improve my weak areas. All plans given were impressive and because of those plans I started scoring 700 on the sigma-X mocks. These plans filled the gaps in my concepts and solving process. After this, I went through official guides, Official advanced question bank and gmatclub quizzes. On the official prep mocks as well, I started scoring 680 to 730. Finally, on test day(6th October 2022) I scored 710 (Q50 V36).


My suggestions to someone who is purchasing the course-
I think it’s the best course. So, you can start your preparation with high energy after this choice. 6 process skills that taught in quant might seem too much in the beginning, but if you follow them, they really contribute to your accuracy. I suggest following process steps very carefully. Initially they might seem time consuming, but after some practice they turn out to be time savers. I suggest taking help of SMEs and strategy experts whenever you are stuck. If you are already very good at quant, then, in my view, you don't need to go through all lessons and quizzes.

All the best for your preparations!
Regards,
Sameer

A course that focuses on fundamentals to build concepts. It was a great fit for me as I like to learn every topic in-depth instead of taking shortcuts. The UI/UX of the course is great as well. Being a front-end developer myself, I really appreciated it.
I first spent 1$ to get started with the trial subscription. Immediately, I understood that this was the course I was looking for. The number of questions, especially in quant, is exhausting but worth it. Verbal too, meticulously builds on one concept after another - it is all very well designed and implemented. Finally, the motivational videos from Scott are a wonderful feature!

The e-GMAT course is an awesome resource to prep for e-GMAT if you wish to self-study and reflect on what is going wrong and improve. If you're a self-starter this course provides amazing insights to improve as you move forward.
The one thing that stood out to me was the verbal section which really helped me to improve my verbal. The verbal section comes with amazing practice exercises which help cement the process and concepts and helps you understand how to attempt any question.
Also, the support from the team on your queries is amazing, and they also reach out to confirm if the resolution made sense or if you wanna follow up to understand better.

First of all, my English comprehension level is pretty high (every day I read news that cover advanced topics such as politics and economy), so my review of the Verbal part of the course may be overly critical.

The Good (there are many, but these are the most important for me):
-The lessons are written only, which suits my learning style. If the student prefers videos, then I suggest to look elsewhere, since the only videos that this course offers are the ones that solve the questions presented in the lessons.
-The written lessons are short and easy to understand, so you wont get bored easily.
-The difficulty and type of questions were very similar to the ones presented in the GMAT test.
-I liked that for every question I could see the percentage of people who got it right and the average time.

The no so Good:
-Although I did learn a few new topics for SC, the CR and RC didn't teach me anything new. The tips on how to approach these questions didn't resonate with me, because I thought they were too time consuming. Sticking to my own way of solving these questions worked for me, but for a more intermediate student, the tips may be more helpful.
-Though the analytics section is interesting, I found it a bit gimmicky and not that useful. The problem is that the topics have varying number of questions. some have just 15 hard questions, while others have more than 90. Thus, a single silly mistake in an easy topic that has few questions is going to make it look like it's a weak area for you, even though you know it really isn't.
-I would suggest TTP to improve the error log. I would've prefered to see all my wrong questions at first and then have filters by topic, reason for the error, difficulty, etc.. The way it's currently presented is too cumbersome and time consuming, because I need to first select the topic and then the type of error.
-My biggest gripe was the fact that there was no question forum. Particularly for certain CR questions that I think had wrong correct answers, I would've liked to express my objection and why I thought the correct answer was wrong. However, there's no way to do it, which made me very frustrated.

Overall, I think TTP is very solid for the price. Most of the people I know have studied in classes that cost over USD 1000, but I wanted to save money. The result was that I only took one test and already got a score way higher than I expected. Particularly grateful for the Math section of the course, which helped me go from almost zero knowledge to a respectable 48.

For me the best feature of the GMATWhiz product was its diagnostic quizzes at the beginning of every module. These diagnostics ensured that I didn’t waste time on areas in which I didn’t need much guidance and hence could utilize my time to get the maximum bang out of my buck.
I must also mention that initially I was too concerned with RC and was sure that I needed to focus on RC to improve my Verbal. However, Piyush suggested me to follow the natural sequence of the course – i.e. first SC, then CR and finally RC. I followed his advice and stuck to the personalized study plan. What I noticed was that my SC and CR foundation was lacking in the first place and GMATWhiz’s learning material definitely helped cement these two areas for me. Post that once I moved on to RC, I no longer felt RC to be a weakness for me.
Finally, the mentorship program was helpful because Saquib and Shreyyash gave me very specific to-dos and laid out the next steps in a well-planned way which definitely helped me improve on my relatively weaker areas. I wish I had taken up their mentorship in my previous attempts as well.

I have a very hectic schedule since I run a startup. GMATWhiz’s platform was a great fit since it gave me clear guidelines along two areas –
A – Personalized feedback to customize the course as per my skill level. They have diagnostic quizzes for every module based on which the learning material adapts itself to give you the maximum benefit in the least amount of time. You can also override the diagnostic changes made according to your judgement.
B – The program designed a study plan which kept me accountable and set weekly targets for me. As a result, it was easy to visualize the timeline required for me to get close to my target score. This study plan was customizable as per my availability and adapted according to my changing skill level.

Another feature of the offering I found really helpful was its one to one mentorship. My concerns during the progress were addressed timely. It boosted my confidence whenever there were inconsistencies in my performance. A structured quizzing plan, with multiple quiz formats, was formulated and it was instrumental in getting me exam ready. Additionally, the mentor suggested some additional resources meant to uniquely address my weak areas.

Target Test Prep was a huge help for me to bring my score up from 710 to 720. Back in 2020, I hadn't used Target Test Prep and achieved a 710; however, I struggled to move my Quant score above the Q47 range and I felt my verbal score was at or near the max I would be able to achieve. I knew that I needed to think about my studying approach differently, so I used Target Test Prep. Target Test Prep's program made sure that I knew everything I could've possibly needed to for Quant. I ended up completing about 95% of the program and every time I walked into the test, I felt confident about the Quant section as I had already seen every type of question hundreds of times through TTP. This was a huge difference from when I took the test back in 2020 and felt anxious each time about the Quant section. Ultimately, Target Test Prep helped me bring my score up to a 720 through a Quant increase from 47 to 49! I had always been concerned about being under the 720 mark so I'm very grateful I used Target Test Prep to help me get to the score I was hoping for.

I started my GMAT prep back in August 2021 and self-prepared with OGs and a few other books and ended up with a score of 640 (V-29, Q-47). While doing the prep, i came across several success story videos of E-gmat and was quite intrigued with the process discussed such as meaning based approach for SC and Pre-thinking for CR. I did go through a couple of webinars of E-gmat for SC and CR and tried to imbibe the process into my prep, but clearly, I had too little time on hand to do justice with it. After the 1st attempt, I was sure that I was going to buy the E-gmat course because the process made logical sense to me, and I needed a structured approach. I took a break from my prep and purchased the E-gmat course in February 2022. The plan was to prepare for 4 months and give the test in June 2022. But due to work commitments, I could not really prepare regularly till mid-May. Coming to the course, to start with, it asks you about your current scores and your target scores and accordingly suggests a plan forward. The most important course to start with is their Master Comprehension course. It literally helps you to master the comprehension. It teaches you the basic structure of a sentence, the pause points, how to break a sentence and how to assimilate the meaning. Post this, I started with my verbal course doing SC, CR, RC in that sequence. Each course comprised of concept files, concept quizzes, practice quizzes and the most important, the application files. The application files teach you, in a guided manner, how to solve a question in a structured way. Post completing all these files for each section, the course suggests you to cement the concepts by taking few cementing quizzes. The cementing quizzes are handpicked questions by the E-gmat experts of medium and hard difficulty. I did the cementing for all the sections (i.e., scoring 70% or above in medium difficulty, and 55% or above in hard). Though it was not easy at first, but post reviewing each of the question I attempted and taking the corrective actions such as going back to the specific concept/application files where I feel there is a gap, I was able to build up an ability to solve questions. Post this, I went on and did OG questions for practice. In between, I attempted my first 2 sigma X mocks (E-gmat mocks) and scored 650 (V35, Q44) and 690 (V40, Q44). I realised that I have built a base ability in verbal and just need to refine some areas to maintain the ability. Post scoring a 690, I was included in the Last Mile Program, a program where a mentor helps you out to get test ready.
My mentor, Abha Mohan, connected with me and helped me out with a plan to refine my rough patches. By looking at my account statistics she figured out that I was struggling with concepts such as modifiers and subject verbs in SC, Evaluate and Strengthen in CR. Hence, I went back to the course, revised few concepts, and reattempted the practice files. Post this, there was a confidence within me in my ability to solve questions within a limited time. Next, she shared a plan with me for my test readiness where I had to give few combined quizzes of 25 questions and 33 questions. I scored a decent 76% on both the quizzes for verbal and around 60%-70% in quants. I gave my last official mock before the test and scored 710 with a V37 and Q49. Finally, went ahead with exam and ended up scoring a 700 (V35, Q49). The test day was not a great experience because of lack of sleep and some bad decisions during the test. As I was struggling with time in Verbal section during the end, I made the most terrible mistake to not finish my Verbal section and ended up getting a 3-point penalty, which was evident in my ESR where my average Verbal score was a 38. It was my bad decision which may have cost me about 10-20 points in my overall score.
To conclude, few important things that the course emphasis on are: 1. Just because you have completed the course, that doesn’t mean you will not have to go back again and again to the specific concepts. Revising the concepts is going to refine what you have already built. 2. One should strategically review each question that he/she has solved and in that review each of the options are to be reviewed. One should have absolute clarity as to what was correct in the correct choice, and what was incorrect in the other four. Unless you do this process with diligence on all the questions that you solve, the improvement will not be visible. 3. Maintaining an error log is as important, if not more, as solving questions. If you do not maintain it, it will be difficult to understand and accept where exactly you lack or what mistakes do you make. 4. The solutions to each of the questions, be it verbal or quants, are detailed and follow the structure which has been taught in the concepts. If there are still any doubts left post reviewing the solution, there are forums below each question where there are several questions asked by previous students and these have been responded to by the E-gmat experts. These forums helped me significantly in getting clarity over every aspect of the question. The final thing to note is that just buying the course alone will not guarantee success. One must imbibe the process and be diligent to really make use of this excellent course. Have patience and trust the process.

I started with GMATWhiz after trying out a different prep company that was cheaper and had longer course validity. I really appreciated the structure that GMATWhiz provides during the prep. The platform tests your proficiency before starting any sections, and it adapts to your perceived level of proficiency. If you go on to make mistakes in this "proficient section," the platform will automatically add the skipped modules right back up. The meaning-based approach really changed the way I approached verbal.

I think the most underrated perks of this prep course were the mentorship calls I got for free. I was able to evolve my prep strategy many folds with every mentorship call. My mentor wasn't shy about suggesting that I use other free resources on the web, a suggestion that I felt pleasantly surprising. I would recommend GMATWhiz for anyone who is looking to improve their score by a lot (:D) and who needs structure in their prep. And 6-months is plenty of time to finish your prep, and if you can't finish the prep in time, you can extend the course on a monthly subscription, and you won't lose your progress/data.
