I started my GMAT journey by taking the first Official mock and got a 560 (Q36, V31). After looking at the median GMAT score for my target schools, I quickly felt overwhelmed. Luckily, I came across GMATClub, which introduced me to Target Test Prep. Target Test Prep is thorough and covers EVERYTHING you need to know to succeed on the GMAT. I chose the most comprehensive Quant and Verbal plan and spent about 1 hour per day on TTP, so it took me roughly 7 months to complete the whole course. After completing the course, there is a "practice test phase" where you take a mock, input the score into TTP, take a diagnostic test, work through your weakest topics and repeat. This phase took me another 3 months to complete. I took my time with TTP since I wanted to feel 100% confident about a topic before moving on to the next, but most could reasonably complete the entire course in 3-4 months. Ultimately, I was able to bring my score up to 700 on my first and only GMAT attempt!

It was after 4 failed attempts and 2 years of non stop preparation that i reached out to GMATWhiz. At that time i was stuck in a mid 600 score plateau and irrespective of how much effort i've put, I couldn't improve my score at all.
GMATWhiz actually helped me reach the 700+ score. I really liked the way their course is structured. The inbuilt AI engine helps in planning the study schedule and all we have to do is, just follow it. Another important feature of GMATWhiz is the score predictor (it is pretty much accurate) which actually starts predicting our score soon after we complete a couple of modules. Because of this feature, we know how much more effort we need to put to improve.
The support i've got from GMATWhiz is immense. I had tried a couple of test prep companies and non had provided me the kind of support that GMATWhiz has. Sunita Ma'am (Verbal tutor) not just made me understand the concepts thoroughly but also gave me the moral support during times when i used to feel low.
To be honest, the GMATWhiz team is as motivated as you to help you reach your dream score. Sharing from my personal experience, the GMATWhiz team has gone beyond their course offering to help me reach my dream score.
Finally i would highly recommend GMATWhiz for all those who are preparing for the GMAT.

I had struggled a lot with the GMAT verbal section especially with the SC and CR part. But the approach followed in the e-GMAT curriculum makes questions easier for you and gives you more confidence in the answer choice you have marked.
The dashboard and the analytics help you revisit topics where you seem to be getting questions wrong. The forum works absolutely great to help resolve any queries that you have. The quant section is as detailed. And the quant question bank is one of the best for tough questions. Commit to the process which is stressed upon throughout the e-GMAT curriculum and you would surely be good enough to grab a V40+.

GMATWhiz’s AI powered study plan made it seamless to cover the concepts during my initial learning days. The AI also made regular suggestions to take specific quizzes for conceptual or timing improvement. This ensured that all relatively weak areas were fine-tuned. The course video lessons themselves covered the concepts well fundamentally without overcomplicating the learning at any point.
Other than their AI powered course material, GMATWhiz’s mentorship program was particularly helpful for me throughout my prep. Zartaj, my Quant mentor, helped me strategize the prep during the learning phase with inputs on which topics to revise, which sources to practice questions from and when to focus on time management. As I fine-tuned my prep with Zartaj and moved closer to taking mocks, Shreyyash, the Verbal mentor drew up a calendarized plan for me for the mock phase which included the dates for taking the mocks and for a variety of quizzes across Quant and Verbal meant to continuously fine-tune my performance in between two mocks. Shreyyash also helped me approach RC better by reading the passage more actively and my RC performance improved considerably since then.
Finally, GMATWhiz was very proactive with its resources. The mentors provided me with a bank of official questions (other than the OG) which I was instructed to use before practicing from their proprietary question bank called Whiz Quiz. This was again really well planned – while the official question bank helped me apply the concepts I learnt from the video lessons, the Whiz Quiz was a useful fine-tuning tool as it allowed me to test myself on specific topics that needed further work.
I’ll be retaking the exam once more and using GMAT Whiz tutoring to improve my Q score further.

I used TTP almost entirely for quant and couldn't be more satisfied. I had major math content gaps when I started GMAT prep, but I learned SO much with TTP. Their quant course/lessons gave me the tools I needed to deeply understand the concepts, and then use that understanding to answer GMAT questions correctly.
What really set TTP apart, in my opinion, was the amount of high-quality, GMAT-style questions included throughout: there are questions in each lesson as you're learning and at in the end of each chapter via chapter tests. Then there are even more strategically woven across the curriculum (e.g. review quizzes on previous chapter content before starting new chapter, and cumulative tests strategically placed after every 3-5 chapters).

This review is only about the e-GMAT Verbal course. It is not a reflection of e-GMAT Quant whatsoever.

The e-GMAT Verbal course (especially SC and CR) is very comprehensive and very well planned. For someone like me who did not know where to start and how to proceed with learning, the course provided a very good structure which was easy to follow.

It seemed too tedious at times, but I trusted the hard work put in by the course creators and followed them diligently. It has everything, right from learning the basics to methods for problem-solving. There is a reason behind the extensive course and the taught methodologies. They make problem-solving intuitive and fast. I fully embraced the course and only slightly tweaked the taught methods to suit my style.

After completing the course, one moves on to Cementing Quizzes which establish test readiness. There is even a thorough process prescribed to approach these quizzes. Following this method completely was also very crucial. The ‘Scholaranium’ not only provided loads of questions to practise but also helped in reviewing progress and highlighting areas to improve.

I maintained a detailed Error Log as recommended. It seemed like a waste of time at first glance but was very important in providing focus and direction to my preparation.

The advice to write down a summary for each paragraph in RC was very helpful. The Scholaranium was also very useful for practising RC passages.

e-GMAT was a major reason behind my 99th percentile in SC and 91st percentile in CR. Thank you e-GMAT.

P.S.: I additionally solved all the questions in the GMAT Official Guide at least once. That also had a big role to play in my score.

e-GMAT is one of the best things that could have happened to me during my GMAT journey. I started looking for different courses backing August last year and then I came across the e-GMAT platform. I saw videos and testimonies of different students who were not good at verbal or even some specific sections of verbal and how e-GMAT's content and the people at e-GMAT helped them acheieve the score they wanted.
e-GMAT has the highest success rate of all the courses that I have come across and they update their content to make sure they are relevant and keep helping more and more students acheive the 700+ score.
For me personally, I started with a Mock score of 610 and verbal was very weak back then since I was already at Q49 in my first mock. e-GMAT has specific and detailed videos for each sections of verbal and that helped me understand the process that needs to be followed to achieve a great score in verbal. After my first attempt (where I scored a 650), I was very demotivated but people at e-GMAT were right there besides me ready to help me to get that 700+ score and help me achieve my target of 750. Rajat (CEO of e-GMAT) himself send me a video the next day after my first attempt to tell me what could be the issues in my process and what I am missing. In the next 40 days, I followed that process dilligently and got the results. Even in the last 2 weeks, Harsha (one of the e-GMAT experts) kept in touch with me to make sure I select the right date for my GMAT and I am completely ready for it.
Honestly, anyone thinking of GMAT should definitely consider e-GMAT and I assure you that if you follow their process and methods dilligently, you will see the desired results.

After months of preparation using different platforms, I was just able to cross the 700 barrier and get a score of 710. Though 710 is a decent score, coming from an Indian Male Engineer background, I knew this score was not enough for a good B-School.

Then I stumbled upon a video from GMATWhiz on Verb Tense timeline. I was previously having problems in this particular section of SC, so I decided to watch the video. I was amazed at how easily GMATWhiz’s content managed to solve my problems with verb tense usage. I felt more confident in tackling this sub-section now. It was then that I decided to book a strategy session with GMATWhiz’s strategy expert. I had an awesome discussion with Piyush who helped me understand GMAT more thoroughly and chalked out a plan to address my GMAT weak areas. I decide to go forward with GMATWhiz and started working on the plan the AI had laid out.

My stint with GMATWhiz was relatively small (less than 2 months) but I want to highlight how awesome the whole AI-driven platform is. It kept updating a predicted score based on my course progression and Quiz score, went deep into analyzing my weak areas, and automatically created quizzes and study content to help me address those areas. I was able to precisely target the areas I was having the most trouble with and could successfully improve as well. It saves you all the trouble of pinpointing your weak areas and then creating a quiz addressing them. These help you to apply the approach learned in the course, making you comfortable with the application of the methodology to solve the questions.

The content of GMATWhiz is comprehensive and addresses each GMAT-based question independently. I was facing issues with CR specifically before joining GMATWhiz course but I was able to improve it drastically using their course content. After each concept video, you have concept booster and concept solidifier quizzes that help to cement the process you have just learned.

From the very beginning, I was assigned with a Mentor, Zartaj who deserves most of the credit for my GMAT success. She helped me overcome my plateau and kept motivating me throughout the journey. After her guidance, I was soon scoring more consistently on each practice quiz. Although I was hitting my sub-section goals consistently, to further increase the chances of getting achieving a high score, I was introduced to Sunita from GMATWhiz who took out her valuable time to tutor me and fine-tune my approach to reach that upper echelon score. I finally managed to score 740(Q50, V40) on GMAT.

All in all, my experience with GMATWhiz has been nothing short of amazing. So, whether you are a first-time test taker, or a retaker struggling to overcome a score plateau, GMATWhiz is a one-stop solution for you. Highly recommend!

I started GMAT prep in 2020 during the first covid lockdown. I tried all my ways to improve my concepts. I tried every online free source available but could not improve myself for one long year. After a year of self-study, I attempted for GMAT and scored a 600. I was shocked to see my score and decided to give a break to myself. After that, I started looking out for online programs for the GMAT. I listened to all the webinars and checked all the reviews. I found that while the other options that I explored were more focused on providing short-cuts and so-called smart tricks to ace the GMAT, e-Gmat focussed on mastering concepts and processes, an approach that appealed to me.

How did e-GMAT help me?

1. The verbal course of e-GMAT is the best in class. It starts with Master Comprehension which helps us understand how to comprehend any sentence or problem in Verbal as well as Quant. Moreover, the meaning-based approach emphasised by E-GMAT is the best to solve hard questions, which can never be answered by just knowing the grammatical rules. Earlier, I used to solve verbal questions using short-cuts. However, as soon as I started applying a meaning-based approach, my accuracy started to increase and this led to a major increase in my confidence as well. The meaning-based approach made everything so easy and interesting that I never found it boring ever again. I started enjoying practising SC questions as well. The application quizzes in the verbal course are really helpful in understanding the whole process of solving a question and improving every skill required to master it.
2. Although CR does not have many concepts to master, the pre-thinking approach used by e-GMAT really helped me master CR. It helped me understand the importance of classifying the arguments into conclusions and premises and pre-think all the possible approaches to work on it.
3. RC has been my weakest area throughout. However, the master-comprehension approach and meaning-based approach helped me to read the passages with full understanding. I never had to go back to the passage again if I read it using the master comprehension approach. This really helped me to gain better accuracy and speed in RC.
4. Quant course gives a detailed understanding of all the concepts in quant and it really helps in leaving no concept untouched. Earlier, I used to apply short-cut approaches in quant as well. However, the level of understanding I gained from the e-GMAT helped me solve each and every question with a proper process and understanding. the e-GMAT quant course is really intensive and the Scholoranium 2.0 really helps to diagnose the weak areas and focus on them. The scholoranium 2.0 provides a diagnostic quiz, based on which, you can diagnose the areas where you are weak and require more attention. Moreover, the process and GMAT quizzes are really helpful in attaining the right efficiency for the test day.

The e-GMAT analytics-based portal is truly commendable. All the insights provided by the e-GMAT portal are very useful to work on areas that require the most attention. The portal helps us understand our efficiency in all the topics in both Verbal and Quant. Moreover, it also helps us to track the time of each and every question and helps us achieve optimum efficiency. With the help of this portal, I could focus on my weak areas and track my efficiency throughout. The course also provides the scholoranium, which has n number of questions in both Quant and Verbal. The custom and cementing quizzes based on these scholoranium questions really helped me to improve my performance and track it in every way possible. Moreover, the Sigma-X mock provided by e-GMAT is a real gem. I guess these are the only mocks apart from the official mock that adapts on a real-time basis, just like GMAT, and also contains questions equivalent to the difficulty of the actual GMAT. Moreover, the mock analysis provided at the end is a very very detailed analysis of one’s mock performance. This tracks every question, every block, difficulty level, timing and whatnot. One can get all the required insights to improve their performance based on this mock analysis.

Lastly, the kind of support you get during the entire duration of the course is worth mentioning. I was given the opportunity to enrol on ‘The Last Mile Program’, wherein Rida, one of the e-GMAT experts, helped me during the last stage of the GMAT prep journey. Rida really helped me plan everything. She gave me insights into my performances based on my Scholoranium and Sigma-X performances. She continuously helped me create a plan to improve my weak areas until I was finally ready to give the GMAT. The plans she provided were a real gem at the last moment of my journey and really helped me to upscale my performance. She was always ready to help and used to respond spontaneously too. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Rida and I would recommend her 10/10.


Summing up, looking for an all-inclusive GMAT package that can help you prepare despite a demanding job? E-GMAT is your answer!

SCORE DISCREPANCY:
As an Globally renowned institute of authority, and my mentors who are responsible for my score, it would be great, if e-GMAT (Ms. Payal & Mr. Rajat) took up my case and clarified the anomaly with mba.com and GMAC.
This will not just help me, but also help e-GMAT guide its students in a better way.
Q48 and V40 leads to a score of 720: courtesy GMAC Official practice tests. A Q48 & V41 SHOULD lead to a score of 720+.

E- GMAT PREP REVIEW:
Now coming to why e-GMAT is one of the best prep courses for a 700+ score on the GMAT:
1. One-of-a-kind analytics:
• Customized timed plans based on your current skills
• Zeroing down to your each strength and weakness; and suggesting a plan to improve the latter. They actually have graphs tracking your progress as you go.
2. Mentorship support:
• I was mentored by DJ first, and Harsha later. During our long back and forth emails, we discussed everything from difficult CR questions, to testing strategy. His mentorship advice is as comprehensive as his Verbal dissections.
• Towards the end, Harsha gave me detailed plans to follow every day- what to revise, what to practice, what to score on quizzes. Super helpful.
3. Great content:
a) Verbal:
• SC- If you’re an English buff who solves SC questions by selecting what sounds right, you’ll likely falter on this section in the exam. e-GMAT’s meaning- based approach along with the detailed grammar lessons are your go to- s.
• CR- The pre- thinking approach was a game changer.
• RC- Read The Economist daily and read the entire passage- once, carefully. e-GMAT’s Master Comprehension course is a good resource to start with.
 For all of Verbal, watch out for Harsha’s explanations on the forum- they rule!
 e- GMAT Verbal is the closest to Verbal Official imo.
b) Quant:
• I didn’t do e-GMAT Quant much; the questions seemed to be decently more difficult (and longer) than Official Quant. But they’re great to build concepts, and to make sure you’re roasted to a level that you can crack the final test, with high accuracy (Q48+), and in the given time.
c) IR:
• A solid combination of e-GMAT’s Quant and Verbal finesse.

 The OG bundle is actually a waste without e-GMAT. The questions are the same, but the answers are poor. Use e-GMAT's Strategic review process here. e- GMAT actually has several different types of quizzes they recommend you do at different stages of your prep.
 Cherry on top- The simple and polished software further makes the content easy to absorb.

Good luck!
