If you are looking for a course to study for the GMAT, I would recommend TTP without a doubt. One of the main things I've learned is that the GMAT is an exam that tests how much work you have put in. TTP has a great interface that maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. I would recommend switching to the calendar view and following the course as it is laid out. I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course (it will take time/hard-work) you will get an amazing score.
One last thing to keep in mind: they have a great and responsive team willing to answer any question you might have about the course/exam/a question/etc.
Thank you TTP!

Course Manhattan Prep GMAT Private Tutoring
Instructor David Mahler
Location Online
I took the 9-week Manhattan Prep course with Dave, and in addition to his top notch teaching, the class environment he fostered also made the time more enjoyable. Overall, Manhattan Prep's UI was very good and the strategy guides were as well. I had never taken the GMAT before and no familiarity with test, and scored in the high 500s on my first Manhattan Prep CAT. After the class, which was a great foundational intro, I began tutoring with Dave. His insight and ability to explain concepts and strategies were excellent, and he always knew the right leading questions to ask. Dave helped me fine tune my processes, time management, and strategy execution, and I scored a 710 on my first real GMAT. Just a month later, after only focusing on the areas that Dave helped me identify, I nailed my target score of a 730. I am thrilled with my improvement and I cannot recommend Dave highly enough!
My journey with E-GMAT started on May'22.
I fell in love with the platform immediately. The platform is super easy to navigate and use. e-GMAT's Scholaranium question bank is one of the best. The platform saves a lot of your time. Maintaining and revising error logs became very convenient.
The platform helped me identify my weak areas and the time I took in each section by providing analysis of all my quizzes.
This analysis was important to me as it gave me new insights and helped me identify where I had to focus more.
e-GMAT's meaning based approach for solving SC questions is the best
I used to take 1minute 45 seconds to 2 minutes to solve an SC question and my accuracy was also not high, but after going through e-GMAT's meaning based approach the average time I took to solve an SC question came down to 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 and half minute and my accuracy also improved a lot across both medium and hard level difficulty questions.
Apart from the course the thing that most impressed me is the support and encouragement they gave.
I requested for a personalized study plan and I was assigned Ms. Rashmi as my mentor.
She gave my preparation a direction and helped me get out of my comfort zone.
She was really concerned about my preparation and kept pushing me to be consistent with my preparation.
Her pep talk and last minute tips before the exam helped me calm my nerves and helped me do well on the exam.
I want to genuinely thank e-GMAT and Ms. Rashmi for being a part of my GMAT journey.
Happy Learning!
The best thing about the TTP course is its comprehensiveness. While I had studied before also for GMAT, the detail and user friendly language offered by the TTP course is unparalleled. The error tracker and analyzer are just the cherry on top. It took me almost 3 months of dedicated study to complete the entire course. The course's details on how to prepare for the test is also an amazing feature along with the daily video of the day.
I got a 110 point improvement on my previous GMAT score and I would highly recommend the TTP course to anyone looking at improving their score.
Having scored a 640 (Q48, V28) in my first attempt at GMAT after preparing on my own, I knew that I needed to take some preparation course that would set me on the right track and help me achieve my target GMAT score and that’s when E-GMAT came into the picture.
When I was preparing for my first attempt, I thought that the official guides were enough to help me reach the 700 mark. So, I just solved the questions from the OGs and would sometimes randomly look up certain topics on YouTube where some of the top videos that would come up were from E-GMAT. From there, I understood that E-GMAT is a trusted source. Anyway, I wanted to take my first attempt without any external help, and I scored a 640 then.
After that, I explored a bit more about E-GMAT and it seemed like everything I had wanted for GMAT. So I signed up for the course. The things that I liked the most about the course were the personalized approach and the expert guidance that I got throughout my preparation. Every step of the way I was getting constant feedback and corrective measure plans for the areas I was faltering in. Abha Mohan (one of the E-GMAT experts) who was mentoring me made sure that I was not leaving any stone unturned and constantly motivated me to push further.
I also want to break down my learning experience in various sections/subsections:
Sentence Correction: I think I can safely say that this course changed the way I read sentences. The meaning-based approach that E-GMAT teaches compels me to understand the logic behind every sentence.
Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension: These courses taught me to read between the lines and get as much information as can be extracted from a set of sentences.
Quant Section: Starting from the very basics of mathematics to teaching how to tackle difficult and tricky questions, the quant section is divided into various subsections and teaches in a way that does not involve any memorization or shortcuts.
Scholaranium (the E-GMAT question bank) is an extremely resourceful tool that offers carefully selected questions (resembling those that are asked on the real test) that can be accessed through various types of quizzes. The cementing quizzes that are ought to be done after completing each subsection helped me retain my learnings while moving on to the next subsection.
So after preparing for two and a half months, I started with the mocks. And even though I did not perform well on the first 2 mocks and felt demotivated, Abha was there as always to my rescue; she helped me gain my confidence and provided a corrective plan, setting me on the 700+ track.
Then I booked my test date 10 days in advance and just practiced with the already solved questions in the last few days. Through the entire preparation period, I solved 850+ questions from both Verbal and Quant with more than 60% overall accuracy in hard questions. On the test day, I was confident and calm, and as I clicked on the next button to see the final scores I kind of already knew that my hard work had paid off. I scored a 710 with a Q49 and a V38.
All in all I can say that E-GMAT was the best choice I made in my GMAT journey. I had a wonderful experience. I really want to thank Abha Mohan (my mentor) and the whole E-GMAT team for tremendously helping me achieve my target score. I highly recommend E-GMAT to anyone who is looking for a preparation course for GMAT.
Additionally, I would advise that once you take up the course and if you have sufficient time, then don’t rush through the learning part. That’s the most crucial segment and if you do that right you won’t face many problems with the questions later. I wasted a lot of time coming back to certain files again and again. And also make full use of the discussion forum. I wish all the best to anybody who is reading this post. Thank You.
Great course.
Verbal-
The frameworks in CR and RC are instrumental. The sentence correction course structure was fantastic. The way the concept quizzes were created ensured that you would get similar questions of increasing difficulty levels, making it easier to identify areas of improvement. The strategies adopted by egmat are effective and well explained.
Quant-
I went through only a few topics I had faced difficulty with earlier. The EGMAT course helped me clear my doubts and cover all concepts. Also, the PACE feature enables you to trim your course prep to only those topics you have issues with, determined by the diagnostic quiz at the beginning of the module. I used to not tune into quant modules because I used to feel slowed down. Still, the PACE feature helped me focus only on the relevant portions, thereby ensuring I could cover topics faster without the fear of missing concepts.
Mocks- The Mock's UI was similar to the actual GMAT exam, which helped me immensely on the test day. The questions are also well balanced. While I did not score very high on mock tests, those were more because of the gaps in preparations and time management than the EGMAT mocks being unrepresentative of GMAT.
In my opinion, the EGMAT course's outstanding feature is its Scholarinium analytics. The Scholarinium product is data-driven, and I felt that they kept throwing up questions in which my understanding was suspect earlier. The questions are on the tougher side, especially the Hard questions, which help you formulate your concept application strategy. I would recommend everyone to use the dashboard analytically, and when used in tandem with your error log, it can help you dig deeper into your preparation.
All the best on your GMAT preps !!!
I bought the EGMAT online focused course which gives you 2 months' access. Very comprehensive and quite reasonably priced, would strongly recommend this, especially for people who prefer interactive videos to reading off a book.
For quant, EGMAT does a great job of dealing with bite-sized basics and the concurrent practice quizzes help you test yourself on individual concepts in an incredibly precise manner. I followed the course from top to bottom.
For SC, I went through the EGMAT course (~30 hours) - covers everything - verbs, pronouns, modifiers, comparisons, parallelism, and idioms. EGMAT keeps things simple and easy to comprehend, avoiding any unnecessary grammar jargon (which GMAT does not expect you to know either).
I found EGMAT mocks' difficulty level to be quite close to the actual exam.
I've put up a slightly more detailed debrief as a post.
Definitely among the top providers of GMAT prep material globally:
1) Very affordable as compared to other resources, especially if you live outside US
2) 15 well constructed mocks, which should be more than enough for preparations
3) Detailed answers of each questions so you don’t have to Google stuff up to understand, along with video explainations that were crisp
4) Difficulty seemed quite accurate, as I am not a fan of attempting unnecessarily difficult mocks which can hamper confidence
5) The SC e-book was a very helpful addon
Would definitely recommend Experts' Global to anyone looking for a realistic simulation of the final exam

Verified GMAT Classic score:
730 Q50 V37 (Online)
I started my GMAT journey June 2021, yup it took me more than 1 year and four attempt to score a 730.
First attempt in August 2022 : 670
Second Attempt in October 2021 : 700
Third Attempt in March 2022 : 680 :(
Fourth Attempt in July 2022 : 730 :)
So EGMAT technically helped me improve my score by 50 points, I was struggling with SC a lot but EGMAT helped me work on my SC skills, the meaning based approach is perfect. In none of the question I looked at options until I know what the sentence was trying to say and this approach became wired me in mind, I was hitting 90-100% accuracy on SC questions.
CR again I was facing a lot of issues and the questions I used to solve were always repeated since by my third attempt I have solved almost all the official question. EGMAT with its scholarium product brought 100s of new questions and helped me build my brain muscle to understand the CR passage and follow a right path while eliminating the wrong choices.
RC and Quant I didn't use much of EGMAT since I was already at 90th percentile.
I would say go for EGMAT and a tip make sure to connect with a strategic partner and no matter what make sure to share with them your daily progress.
Hi kshitizrai,
Hearty Congratulations to you on your 730!
What an inspirational Journey yours has been!
The resilience and the perseverance you have displayed through this adventurous GMAT prep journey is commendable. You stood up every time you fell, and now, here you are with a mammoth 730 score on your GMAT.
Despite struggling with SC initially, it was commendable to see how effortlessly you grasped the essence of the meaning-based approach so much so that in the later stages of your preparation this approach became instinctive to you. You rightly exploited the luxury of having a vast question bank at your disposal. This vast repertoire of questions also helped you build your muscle while learning the pre-thinking approach and answer choice analysis in CR.
Here is an image showcasing how you immersed yourself in the process which in turn helped you attain 90%ile ability in SC and CR in Hard questions.

Kshitiz, no one can predict the future, but I can predict this one thing for sure- Your ‘Never say die’ attitude will sail you through your professional and personal journey of life.
On behalf of e-GMAT, I wish you the very best in all your future endeavours.

Excellent aid to GMAT preparation and for practising a good number of tests for the real GMAT. The biggest benefit in my opinion would be the very realistic pattern of questions, more or less, they conform to actual GMAT standards and the timer gives one good practice (remember GMAT is not just a test of knowledge, but of speed, accuracy, intelligence, logical and reasoned guess work, handling stress etc.)
The solutions are well detailed and the 1-2 minute GMAT shots are an excellent help for revision , especially a few days prior to the actual exam, help a lot in course correction, understanding concepts. I believe that sustained practice with this Test Series and reading their solutions to correct my mistakes and watching the GMAT shots to revise definitely helped me push through to my final score of 750, even though coming from a non traditional background.
Please note that test series are useful only after months of practice reading theory, practising questions etc. and the Official GMAT prep books, mock tests are a must do first, start with Expert's Global Test Series to test your performance,get a hang of exam scenario and timing, finally improve your score.
Hi suchit2000,
This is Abha from e-GMAT. Congratulations on your 710 and thanks for sharing such lovely words. I am very happy to see you be a part of the 700 Club.
The sheer determination you have shown to get to this point is phenomenal. You followed a structured approach throughout your preparations which helped you attain a massive 10-point Verbal improvement from a V28 (49%ile) to a V38(84%ile).
You mastered the concepts and process by cementing each of the sub-sections attaining 80%ile ability in Hard questions. Here is an image below showcasing how your SC Hard-level questions accuracy improved from 61% to 87 % using the meaning-based approach.

I am so happy that Quant 2.0 helped you build your ability from basics to higher difficulty level questions. Our main aim here was to minimize surprises on D-Day.
Your repeated success gave you the confidence you needed to succeed on the test day. You could predict your success just by having a glance at your last two mock scores, wherein you scored 710 on both. I hope you did notice the same 😊.
Please refer to the image below to see the last two Mocks with 710 scores before the actual test.

At last, I just want to say, it was a pleasure working with you and I am so proud of the work you have put into this journey.
I wish you all the best for the next steps.

Abha
