I heard about e-GMAT course from a friend of mine and after going through the online reviews of the course,I chose the 4 month course.

My instant impression was that the course was well thought of,streamlined and engrossing. Well thought of as it started from basic and foundational topics which were tested through interactive quizzes;building on the skills acquired through application/GMAT level quizzes;refinement through scholaranium and finally evaluation through sigma tests.

I needed to improve on the verbal section as my quant was fairly strong.I felt the Verbal section of the course to be the best (I solved mock free tests of other course providers as well in the past).There was no ambiguity in the e-GMAT content. Unlike all other content providers e-GMAT course simplified the Verbal section through the strategy and approach towards any subsection be it SC,CR or RC.It wasn't based on some abstract notion which a person doesn't know how to implement.There were clear meaningful methods to improve one's skills.Meaning based approach in SC reduced the otherwise confusion especially between 2 options. Elimination of incorrect options became a breeze. RC approach provided more clarity towards the approach. The best advice was to approach them as an article in a journal or as an editorial rather than as a tool which evaluates a test taker. My weakest section was CR. I always felt this section to be quite random which was at times quite frustrating However,e-GMAT explanations were mostly logical and helped me in formulating subcategories within the section to solve the questions more efficiently.

Scholarnium is the prefect stage to gauge one's understanding of the foundational skills and implementation potential.It not only has GMAT relevant questions and their explanations but also has in depth explanation about the attempts,accuracy,strength,weakness.It also provides quite a a lot of customization options as per the stage of one's preparation.All these inputs helped me increase my score from 640 to 720.

The only aspect which I feel can be added to the course is to have human connection i.e. e-GMAT experts reaching out to the student atleast twice during the course. I feel once during the mid course and then towards the end. A lot of insights are provided by the e-GMAT AI,but I feel e-GMAT expert can help in clear interpretation of the data.

I will definitely recommend the course for its vision,style and particularly the Verbal content!

I recently took the GMAT Online test and scored a 710 (V38, Q49), finally crossing the 700 barrier. My score in the first attempt was 650. Overall, E-GMAT has helped me gain a 60 point improvement with their mentorship program.

Coming from an engineering background, I never faced problems with Quant. Verbal however, was my weaker section where I was scoring in the range on V27-28 when I started off. With their specialised mentorship program, I was able to exactly find the pain points of my approach to Verbal questions and fix them.

The E-GMAT pedagogy stresses on maintaining Error Logs. They believe in solving problem with the help of data and this approach clearly, works. Through my error logs, Atreya helped identify where I was going wrong in my approach. And my scores started automatically improving once we started fixing those errors one by one.
The meaning based approach completely changed my SC game and my accuracy improved drastically.

E-GMAT mocks are also very helpful and are quite similar to the actual test. The level of mock analysis provided by them is unbelievable.They break everything down to identify the specific areas where the student went wrong. These tests might feel a bit more difficult than the actual test, but I feel that is always a good thing since it prepares you for the final test day.

For someone who is just starting off their GMAT prep, I would definitely recommend taking help from E-GMAT.

E-Gmat played an instrumental role in my GMAT journey. The structured approach to learning concepts followed by cementing quizzes in Scholaranium helped me tremendously to internalize all the concepts, especially Sentence Correction. The large Question pool in the Scholaranium with features such as customize Quiz, which allows one to choose not just a specific section but also a specific sub-topic in that section really helps to work on your weaknesses.
Apart from a beautifully created learning platform, the entire support team too is very helpful in answering all your queries and doubts. Special mention to DJ, whose advice on re-thinking my approach to solving questions was crucial in my score improvement.
Thanks Rajat, Payal and the entire E-Gmat team for a great learning experience!

Let me just start my review by thanking the creators of the course and Scholaranium .

I would like to mention beforehand that everyone's preparation method is different and mine may not resonate with others. I literally used the course for 30 days (around 10 hrs per week). Due to my personal circumstances (having a 6 months old baby and full time job) I did not have enough time to go through the official guide. My strategy was just to practice questions and learn from the solutions (only for the incorrect ones) and for that I extensively used the Scholaranium and the practice test ( I purchased the official tests as well),

For quant, when I gave the first official test, it became more or less clear that I needed to brush up the number systems and that's where I spent some time on (solving the number system questions) . Apart from that I didn't do much. I wonder if my quant score was a bit more only if I had spent more time on it. However, I made a point that every day I solved 2 questions each from different topics of quant such as geometry, algebra, numbers etc.

Verbal was the section I mostly concentrated upon (with whatever time I had). I solved almost all the questions on Scholaranium and solved it in practice test mode in order to keep time as well. My aim was to ace the sentence correction question as I thought these are the ones that can raise my score. Though , my final results say a different story. In my comprehensive test report, I realized that I aced the RC questions and my accuracy was 100% (Thanks to Scholaranium questions).

I cannot insist anymore that if one has got limited time then all they need to do is practice practice practice (obviously look at the solution of the incorrect ones)

I did not spend anytime on IRA (except while I was giving mock test). This is evident from my score of 5.
I did not spend any time on AWA (did not even practice during the mock tests) . While in the exam my sole aim was to find flaw in each line of the paragraph given and highlight it. I just followed a basic structure :
First paragraph mentioning that the argument is flawed and list down at least 3 reasons for it. Next 3 paragraphs were spent on expanding the reasons mentioned in the very first paragraph one by one. I made sure to mention that what else the author could have included to make the argument stronger. The final paragraph was just the conclusion that based on the reasons and the rationale above, it can be concluded that the argument is flawed.


Honestly, with my experience I would like to give whole credit to Scholaranium and the mock tests as they essentially helped me to get an alright score.

Hi
I have taken e-gmat course for my Verbal prep. And I have few points to share:
1. SC part is really good. Meaning based approach really worked for me.
2. CR part is very confusing and I would not like to recommend. It's very time consuming I believe.
3. RC is also fine but it depends on ones capabilities in verbal. I really liked the cementing section. But I feel if you are not good at Verbal then whether you have taken their RC course or not, it does not matter at all.

I did not get time to use their quant section much. But it is very lengthy. If someone is planning to take GMAT in a month or so then you would not be able to cover all the topics but if you are just starting with the prep of GMAT and this might work for you.

I took a mock after about a month of on and off official guide practice- I got a 660 (Q43 V38). My quant fundamentals were weak since I had not done math in about 10 years.

I went through the trial versions of a few service providers. Target Test Prep seemed super intimidating at first, and I almost didn't subscribe to it. However, when I started to use it, I fell in love with the structure, the explanations and the interface. The 5 day trial with full access really allows you to take full benefit. They have an accelerated study plan versus a fullly structured one. I did the former.

For somebody with almost zero quant background, TTP was a life saver. There is an underlying 'do not panic' vibe through the entire course. The highlights, the notes and the search for keyword features were incredible. I could find problems that I needed more practice with so easily, as well as search for sub-lessons readily. The verbal section is also equally good! All of the concepts are there and the examples are very very good. I did not use any other material to prep (other than the Manhattan tests after my first official attempt, since I had exhausted my official tests).

I chose the flexible plan due to paucity of time- I really stretched myself thin in the two months and I went slightly off the course recommended path. I took my first official GMAT on November 26 and got a 640. I panicked and reached out to Scott. He said that I just need to do the fundamentals again and I'd be good. I realized as I did that and took a few Manhattan prep tests, that TTP had given me super strong fundamentals, and I just needed to calm my nerves. I decided to take it again on December 18, and I was set. My concepts were so clear that I managed a 760 (Q48 V47) even with a fever.

For anybody willing to invest some time to get better at the GMAT, I will wholly recommend TTP! It's affordable, easy to use and makes you feel as if you've got it under control.

The Verbal Section is excellent, and the videos helped me a lot. The Quant Section could be better, but I did not utilise it well, coming from a Quant rich background. The Sentence Correction did help me, and the reading comprehension techniques were good. The Quiz mode lags a lot and the team needs to improve it a lot. Overall it was helpful and would suggest someone utilise it. The AI approach is unique and actually showcases our weak areas in a better way. The overall experience was good, especially for the verbal section. The Materials available are divided into sections andd represents the right amount of dificulty.

E-Gmat offers a comprehensive course with several Concept and Practice quizzes to help get a good grasp on concepts of both Verbal and Quant.The level of detail with which each topic is discussed really helped cement the concept , especially the pre-thinking framework in the CR and RC course is very immersive and helps deconstruct the passage to a great extent.Once thorough with the course, one can easily try their hands at the Scholaranium which has close to 1000 practice questions on Verbal and Quant each along with helpul insights on time taken by you vs the median time. Sigma Mock is identical in design to the GMAT official practice test, with added advantage of detailed explanation following each question and analysis of time spent on each question. This helps you identify your weak areas and work on them.

TTP offers a great course that covers all topics for a very reasonable price of 100$/month.

Pros:
- explatations are easy to understand
- important points are highlighted and can be bookmarked for review later
- an excercise right after almost every sub-chapter to solidify the concept learned
- a lot of chapter tests for every topic
- error log
- chat function connects you to one of the tutors
- strategy section teaches you about mindset and test-taking

Cons:
- the first answer you get when you ask a question in chat is mediocre, so you need to ask follow-up questions in order to understand what you wanted to know
- for verbal there are not enough practice excercises or chapter tests (at least for me)

Generally I was very satisfied with TTP, especially considering the price. If you do decide to take this course I would recommend doing additional verbal practice questions here on gmatclub (maybe this only applies to me since I am weaker in verbal than in quant).
