My first official GMAT score was a 650 (Q48, V31). This score came after many hours of preparation through a different company / program. I was extremely disappointed and felt that I still wasn't strong or confident enough in verbal.

After some research and googling, I found target test prep and gave it a shot knowing that they had just released their verbal program (I already knew that target test prep was amazing for their quant program).

I essentially completed the entire program from start to finish (quant + verbal). It took me several months but I credit the program for my improved official score of 720 (Q49, V38). The structure of the quant program was fantastic and it helped me solidify all of the quant concepts. The verbal section of the program taught me new concepts that my previous program didn't. Overall, I was really impressed with the verbal part of their program.

For me specifically, I really appreciated all of the practical advice that they gave me when it came to coping with exam stress/anxiety. You see, my score of 720 was actually my third attempt. I wrote the exam one month before this score and completely fell off the rails and scored 620 (even though I was consistently scoring 700+ on my practice exams). I was originally super confident because of all the prep I did with target test prep, but I just had a bad day and scored poorly. Luckily, I had an inspiring convo with Scott and was able to re-focus for the 4 weeks before my re-write. Fortunately, I followed up this poor attempt with a final score of 720 (Q49, V38), which was much more representative of my practice scores.

Without a doubt, target test prep is the best GMAT prep company / course out there, and I 100% recommend this course to any future GMAT test takers.

After spending more than 6 months experimenting with different platforms, I came across GMAT Whiz. After much deliberation, I decided to sign up for the full online course (verbal and quant) and take 10 private tutoring sessions across verbal and quant.
I benefited from GMAT Whiz in multiple ways. The format of the videos worked very well for me. Sunita was my verbal tutor - her personal attention, flexibility (especially with timings of sessions, as we were based in different time zones), intuition, responsiveness, and knowledge of the subject were commendable. Shubhakar was my quant tutor - I was impressed with his command over the quant topics, useful tips and tricks to solve difficult questions speedily, and patience. He was also very flexible in scheduling sessions at timings convenient for me (often meant that he would be taking sessions post midnight his time).
An aspect worth mentioning was the personal touch throughout - Sunita and Subhankar both checked in with me on the progress of my MBA applications months after my classes were over. I really appreciate the help and support I got from GMATWhiz and would highly recommend the platform to aspiring MBA applications preparing to take the GMAT.

I started working with Dana after scoring a 680. I would highly recommend Dana + GMAT Ninja -- the structure is organized, they have very robust content for practice and studying, and working with Dana really helped me learn both content and strategy.

Prior to the GMAT I had not done math since basically high school (!), and Dana helped me re-learn all of the concepts well and helped structure my approach. I thought I had no shot at getting a good quant score given my background, but with a focused approach and with strategies for facing different problem types, I was able to score a Q49.

For Verbal, Dana was helpful with establishing a consistent approach. I came in stronger on the Verbal side, but could be inconsistent -- she gave me helpful advise on tackling each problem type in a structure approach that kept me on pace.

I also found the online videos for both Quant and Verbal really helpful -- particularly for Verbal, the GMAT Ninja videos were really helpful walking through some more complex SC and CR questions and approaches.

Without Dana + GMAT Ninja I don't think my score would have improved so much -- would definitely recommend!

My GMAT journey was an interesting one, I had been studying for ~1 year before I reached out to GMATNinja. I had used a very popular GMAT online course for both quant and verbal prior to tutoring, and although I felt like I knew all the rules for the test, my execution was erratic.

My practice test scores reflected my erratic processes, as my scores ranged from 650-690, even though I felt as if I could do more. After reaching out to Charles, he quickly connected me with Bransen.

Over the next two months, we worked diligently in a structured way to target verbal (specifically CR and RC) as well as quant. Bransen was very deliberate in his approach and provided real-time feedback during our sessions that helped me adjust my thinking process and led to continuous improvement. On Quant, Bransen was quick to point out that where I was losing the most points was on careless errors, which were holding me back from reaching my potential. After eliminating these careless errors, he convinced me that I could achieve a strong quant score.

After two months of work, I took the test and received a 760 (Q49/V45). I am very happy with my decision to reach out to Charles a few months back and grateful to work with Bransen, whose methodical approach and patience working with me were instrumental in achieving my GMAT score goal.

I would recommend GMATNinja to anyone who is looking to take the next step towards an elite score on the test! These guys really know what it takes!

I took the experts global online program at the very initial stages of my preparation. I would say what makes experts global stand out is their question bank and the 15 full length tests that they provide. The course is immersive and exhaustive, to the point where you have enough material to go on to get a great score on the gmat.
I also believe that a lot of work has gone into curating these tests and I don't know if they are adaptive, but they are definitely great practice since official mocks are limited in number.
Thanks again Experts Global.

I bought egmat primarily due to my struggle with sentence correction and critical reasoning. The thing with sentence correction is that the grammar rules are just so diverse that it's quite a task to assimilate all of this stuff. EGMAT does a fantastic job at cementing all of these concepts.
Also a quick mention of their last mile program. Kunal Bhatia from egmat was working with me, analyzing my performance and giving me real time feedback about my performance, while also giving me concrete steps to take to improve my performance in both the areas. I am grateful for that. Thanks EGMAT.

A GMAT journey has many elements to it. I can vouch for TTP for clearing majority of the concepts for me especially quant. I love their error log and the fact that after every concept there is a test that you need to take in order to move on.

The best part about TTP is the scheduled approach. It keeps you on track. Also, the detailed analytics available gives you very pertinent inputs for you to get an idea of your deficiencies and strengths.
I struggled most with sentence correction and critical reasoning. Both were covered in a fair amount of detail. Also, the quantity of high quality questions available is really great. Gives you a good amount of practice.
Thanks TTP.

I recently took the online GMAT exam and score a 730 (Q49 V40)! Starting my GMAT prep, I scored a 550 cold mock - really haven't taken a math class since freshman year in college so my quant fundamentals needed work. After researching courses and planning for the GMAT for a few days, I settled on TTP because I needed to cement my concept foundation in quant. Without TTP, there was no way I would have scored a Q49 on the quant section. The density of material and structure of the mission reviews greatly helped me methodically tick through each quant chapter in a logical order. Additionally, the error log created by TTP is very user-friendly and helps eliminate the need to create a lengthy excel spreadsheet.

I started my GMAT Journey haphazardly sometimes back in August, preparing by myself using several freely available online resources. Unfortunately, that was not quite enough and I was able to score a measly 620. I was particularly weak in Verbal section.
However, I came across TTP through reddit and scored 750 last week:
Pros:
1. Great Course Structure - while I didnt follow their entire study plan, the course structure helped me maintain discipline
2. Verbal - Sentence Correction - Great/Must for non native speaker
3. Quant - Nothing else to do if you do it
4. Verbal - Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension - the types of correct and incorrect answers to expect were good

Cons:
1. Too extensive - Not suitable in case you have around 1 month to spare
2. Verbal Questions should be supplemented by OG questions, since they are not extensive like their quant ones

In summary, In case if you have >2 month to prepare, it is THE course to take for GMAT.

sc is part where egmat excel ...they can work on their cr technique as prethinking did not suited me that well but their sc is the best in market. and quant section is also fine . but i insist on sentence correction.
if u are someone who is having trouble with sentence correction then their meaning based approach is really good as it will help you to understand tough questions.
my weakest link in my self prepration was sc and they actually help me a lot in resolving this problem .
i did not score well on test day but belive me I feel very comfortable in doing sentence correction questions
