REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I reached out to Piyush as I was stuck at my GMAT score of 680-700 despite 6 months of work. I had gone through multiple course loads and solved over 1000 questions in verbal and math.
I took a leap of faith and signed up with GMATWhiz.
After 5 lessons with Sunita, I was able to identify the issues that I had and was able to improve my Verbal score by 8 points from 33 to 41.
I feel that the GMATWhiz AI is sophisticated enough to realize your weaknesses and can really help you improve those area.
It also helped that the course load was not voluminous and I was able to complete it in a period of 20 days.
I only wish that I could have spent similar amount of time on Math with GMATWhiz (who knows, I may have even gotten a 760)
Highly recommend taking their course and the tutoring package
As someone who works full-time and hasn't studied for a test since graduating college, I give TTP full credit for helping me achieve my goal score. I started my GMAT journey with a different test prep course and got a 720 on my first attempt but was unsatisfied with my Quant performance, so I decided to retake. After some careful research, I landed on TTP. I'm lucky I did, because TTP is exactly what I needed to brush up on my weak Quant areas and stay motivated after months of studying while working full-time.
TTP has thorough explanations of concepts and covers everything you need to know for Quant. The course does a great job of not only providing in-depth explanations, but also summarizing key takeaways (‘Must-Knows’). Although I mainly used TTP for Quant, the parts of the Verbal course I did were similarly spectacular.
With the other course I used, it was easy to fall into the trap of forgetting content I had previously reviewed. By using TTP, I avoided falling into this trap because TTP not only incorporated questions throughout each chapter, but also had review tests that included questions from previous chapters. For Quant especially, the key to solidifying my understanding of concepts ultimately came down to drilling questions.
TTP also has several features that really helped me succeed. First, the progress tracking: the progress bars for each chapter kept me motivated to study even after a long work day, and I often found myself studying more than I initially planned. Additionally, TTP’s custom tests allowed me to build my own problem sets using a variety of customizable settings, including specific chapters and difficulty levels. TTP also keeps an error log of questions you’ve gotten wrong and even allows you to create custom tests from these. I was previously keeping track of an error log manually, so this saved me a lot of valuable study time. Finally, TTP has easy-to-use note-taking and bookmark features. Note-taking is as simple as highlighting some text in a lesson, and the bookmark feature lets you save a specific question, Must-Know, or even entire lesson. I used both features throughout the course, and being able to easily review my problem areas in the days leading up to my test kept the information fresh in my mind.
Thank you TTP for building such a well thought-out platform and effective study plan, I truly believe it is the golden standard of any test prep platform.
I was really impressed with what e-gmat does for the prep. Their methodology works. Hands-down the best course that's out there. It was a unique experience and it has sharpened my verbal ability by a lot. The data that these guys give in scholaranium is just next level. You just need time to work on your weaknesses and you will be set for that elusive 700+ score.
I have other friends who bought the e-gmat course. No one got less than 700. The course feels a bit slow at some point, but i believe it builds up the required basics of the language. The verbal section was so so good. Can't even describe how good it was. It was just next level. I was skeptical spending hundreds of dollars but it was so worth it as i got my 710 in the first attempt itself. If you are looking for a course, buy this blindly and then spend time on this religiously, You will not regret it.

Working with Harry was the best decision I made during my GMAT preparation. During our time together, Harry instilled in me a systematic, gimmick-free process to attacking the GMAT that gave me the best odds at reaching my target score. More impressively, he tailored the sessions based on my weaknesses and delivered the sessions in a cordial manner. Lastly, when I had to travel halfway around the world in the middle of our sessions, Harry gladly accommodated my new schedule with a convenient session time. After two months working with Harry, I walked away with a 750!
P.S. Don’t be afraid to ask Harry for book recommendations!

Pros - Scholaranium to practice questions
Cons - Students may probably sleep listening to their videos for Verbal. No feature of listening to videos at 1.5x/2x plus lack of mentorship from the company. The experience was more of singing up for some AI based service.
SC may be a little average but a big big no for CR and RC.
Ideally such a well known company should have gone an extra mile to help students.
EGMAT team is quite unwilling to accept that their course was sub standard. I was wondering how a 4.9 review company can produce such a horrible course. Signing up with EGMAT is waste of both time and money.
Dear AnubhavC97,
Thank you for posting your review and scoring a 700! It’s a commendable feat and you join a long list of our students to have achieved this. (With or without our help)
I am confounded by what you have stated in your review. While you seem like a diligent student who has put in the work to score a 700, your review does not speak volumes to that character.
For example, would a diligent sleep while watching videos that have helped thousands of students score 90th percentile for SC, CR & RC? Yes, it would surely be a waste of your preparation if you did sleep through the videos. Also, these videos are not meant to be played at that pace since the rate at which you should absorb is not 1.5x or 2x. There is intent behind it.
Another example of this, if your experience was just more of an “AI-based experience” – why would you feel that Scholaranium is amazing as a platform to practice.
I would like to correct a few things you have stated in your review too -
1) We are not rated 4.9, we are rated 4.7 😊
2) We did go the extra mile to help you – we had 2 experts go on a call with you to help you out, let alone the exchange of over 100 emails.
I will leave you with this thought, you stated the course was sub-standard, especially for CR, RC – then why would you –
1) Complete the entire CR course
2) Comment on the RC Course when you have not even completed it?
Your Course Usage - https://success.e-gmat.com/Your-Course-Usage
I will leave you with this thought, while the course is not for everyone – you used it, you were supported for it in every way possible, but we ACCEPT that the course is for diligent students, not everyone.
We wish you the best!

I am a non-native speaker and gave my GMAT about a year ago. I scored a disappointing 590 Q45 V28 on the test. It was the test day anxiety that really got to me and I failed to solve the problems that I could've gotten right. I emailed Scott and Jeff about the situation. I performed a memory wipe against everything I knew for the GMAT and started fresh with each fundamental concept and practiced accordingly. I was recommended to take a practice test each week but I was still lacking the conceptual clarity.
TTP is made for clearing your conceptual gaps. I don't think I even needed to look at any other question banks except TTP questions and OG practice questions. Once you start hitting more than 80% accuracy in TTP practice quizzes, solving an OG question will be a relaxing experience. The similarity of questions in TTP Quant to the OG questions is remarkable, not that they are copied exactly as it is but that they are quite different and have some kind of different gravity to them in that if you solve a TTP question and later you were given an OG question of the same type, I guarantee you can solve it.
Another thing was the timing in solving a question, something in which I was really bad. You can checkout an article about this on TTPs website, the first recommendation is to SLOW DOWN while solving, something which I directly started to practice. In my second attempt, I didn't care about timing while solving a QUANT question. What I needed to know was
1. Do I know the concept behind it ?
2. Have I solved a problem like this before ?(which you might have if you've used TTP)
3. Is this my weak area? or Do things in these type of questions go wrong for you?
If I had answers to all three of them, which I guess you will have if you've practiced and reviewed enough, I would just go ahead and start solving it. Once I reach an answer/conclusion on DS question, I used to look back once and submit.
Jeff has been a great mentor, he gave me a detailed plan on how to go about preparing for your test. Marty is also a great guy, his recommendations for RC and CR have helped me a lot and I cannot thank them enough. Essentially TTP is a great course and you should definitely add it into your GMAT Prep if you want to crack that 700 mark!!
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
TTP has created an excellent course that covers the ins and outs of both Quant and Verbal, providing users with the necessary tools to ace the GMAT. I started at 570 as a baseline after going thru another prep company's materials.
I was introduced to the course over at r/GMAT on reddit, and I was initially suspicious of the many glowing reviews given by users there. After using the course for myself, I have found it to be not the case and that it really prepares you well for the GMAT.
For the Quant section, the materials are substantial and go in-depth, allowing anyone (even those with years out of school or not having a quant background) to be able to grasp all things GMAT Quant. This "one-stop shop" method is truly convenient, especially when one is juggling work and studies at the same time.
For the Verbal section, the SC and CR are very well developed, going deep into the material and giving users good insights into how the GMAT tests on Verbal. Basics are drilled deep into one's learning plan, as frequent quizzes are interspersed throughout. I would say the RC is new, and I haven't really used the material, but give the excellent team sometime, and I am sure the RC would be on par with the rest of the sections, if not better.
All in all, I would say I had a good experience with TTP's course. The only caveat I would add is that the course is long, so please be prepared to allocate sufficient time for you to prep if you're aiming for a good score (700+) or is coming from a slightly weaker background.
Totally agreed, definitely one of the best options to consider if you're aiming to excel your GMAT. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fantastic course of TTP amalgamated with the basic and advanced levels of PREP mode. Selecting a proper GMAT prep company is V.V. important. I must recommend Target Test Prep, strongly.
There are many pros while selecting this TTP, overruling other ONLINE/OFFLINE prep companies.
TTP course is designed in a perfect methodical way... from beginner to Expert level concept and application effectively. No matter whether you are at present in QA or VA, you can reach your target if you follow exactly the recommendation, which is fully customized to our unique situation.
Besides, many unique USPs for TTP is there such as calendar-based daily targets, customized micro- quiz, regular motivational videos, etc.
From TTP, I came to realize that morning study for around 2 hrs. before leaving to work would give a perfect kick-start for your day.
Recently TTP has started private tutoring, also. One may go for it according to his budget also. In case of any quarries, just ping me. I have experienced this while studying through many online/ Offline modes including e-GMAT etc... Go for TTP to grab your dreams.
My journey started from a score of 600 (Q48, V25). I was consistently getting 680 to 700 in my Gmat Official Mock and I was shocked when I saw a score V25 in my 1st Gmat test. Feeling disheartened, a friend of mine recommended me to join E-GMAT full online course.
Skeptical at first, I decided to enroll for E-GMAT course. It was the best decision that I had taken in my journey of GMAT. I was amazed by their videos. Even the smallest of thing(especially in the verbal section) is very well explained. In no time, I was able to figure out my flaws and able to correct them.
The pre-thinking approach taught in CR is section is undoubtedly the best and most sought after approach in answering the CR questions. I was able to answer around 80% of the CR questions correctly in each and every mock using their Pre-Thinking methodology.
FInally the Scholaranium, set of thousand of good quality GMAT questions. In my final days of preparation, All i did was solve questions from the Scholaranium. The quality of questions on the Scholaranium is by far the best that i have seen amongst all the other platforms. Each question has a well detailed explanation at the end, helping me to identify even the smallest of things that I might have otherwise looked.
Scoring 710 would not be possible without the support of E-GMAT mentors and their material. I would highly recommend anyone preparing for GMAT to enroll for E-GMAT course.
Dear hsoni66,
Congratulations on scoring a 710 on the GMAT! A 110-point improvement is just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G 😊
I am glad we could change a student with a skeptical mind into a true believer. What you said really means a lot to me and the entire team. These are the words we work for.
I want to pick one thing out of your review – the quality of questions. Usually, most students love the number of questions, the explanations, or the data for these questions but let me tell you this, we go through 5-6 intensive rounds before even a single question goes live on Scholaranium. I am glad you noticed the value of this.

I have been associated with GMATWhiz for almost 6 months now and the experience has been amazing. The course is very well structured and the score predictor based on the performance in the quizzes and mocks is very close to the real score.
Apart from the course and it's structure, I have also greatly benefited from the timely guidance by Saquib Sir, Shreyyash, Zartaj, and Piyush. They have extended their whole hearted support throughout. I was facing challenge with the verbal section and Shreyyash helped me pinpoint my weak areas and helped me strategize my preparation to work on those areas.
Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend GMAT Whiz to everyone who has been struggling with their preparation.

Hands down, TTP is the most useful prep tool for GMAT I’ve ever used. The most important thing is that the practice questions can properly train your way of thinking, and mold it in the same way that GMAT uses to test the students. When I did GMAT the last time, I actually kept a good pace cause I needed not to overthink what the question was asking - I just instantly knew which option would make the most logical sense. I wish I had known about TTP earlier - I might have gotten a good score way sooner!
Dear Nigam,
Thank you for dropping us a GMAT Club review. It means a lot to us that you think e-GMAT is all that a student needs to be successful at the GMAT. I would love to say I feel the same way, but your friends would attest to the same! 😊
Scholaranium does list out your weakness by difficulty, average correct, and incorrect time among other things.

I believe that each GMAT course should be like a diesel engine, it should build up slowly from what you may or may not know to sure shot performance. Most diesel cars have way better performance than their petrol versions.
Thank you for spending your hard-earned money on our course and being a wonderful ambassador.
Take care and stay safe.
