TTP is the best and cheapest available GMAT prep course, which can get any individual to score 700+ on the GMAT. Following the program step-by-step, I was able to improve my GMAT score from a 570 to 730 in just 6 months, a 160 point improvement.

Having taken the CPA exam prior to the GMAT, I expected to easily find the best prep course to maximize my GMAT score. Surprisingly, searching through GMATClub and R/GMAT, I had a hard time deciphering what prep course really was the best to help me earn my goal score of 700 on the GMAT. I initially signed up for the Manhattan Prep Interactive course, a $1000 commitment. Going through the course, I was frustrated with how little detail the course went into each topic and subject. I felt that I was given a high level overview of various subjects, given a few practice problems, and moved on to the next topic. Frustrated with only a 20 point improvement after 2 months of studying, I knew I had to find another prep course and resource that could comprehensively cover each topic on the exam, and provide me with enough practice questions to master every topic.

TTP provided me with everything I needed to master every topic on the exam. Each subject has video solutions, many example questions, and detailed explanations. I literally felt that the course could help me score an 800 on the exam, a feat I didn't think was possible when I first started studying.

Thanks to the amazing content provided by the Verbal and Quant TTP courses, I was not only able to achieve my dream score, but exceeded my score goal by 30 points! The detailed analytics provided by the course also turned studying into a "game" in which I was constantly motivated to improve any weak areas I had.

I would recommend this course to absolutely everybody, and am a bit surprised why not every student searching for a prep course chooses the TTP course. For reference, I spent $1000 on the Manhattan course. I only spent $600 in total on the TTP course, and felt that TTP gave me 10x the material and value I was given by the Manhattan course.

Thanks for all the support Mart, Jeff, and Scott! I couldn't have done it without your support!

I started my GMAT preparation with 580 in my first mock test.
Seeing my verbal score of V22, it became clear to me that I needed to start from basic for verbal and some improvement in Quant (that last improvement is hardest from V47 to much higher.)
I came to know about TTP and decided to go with it. TTP is the reason, I could achieve my 730 score. There is no doubt in its quant as well as verbal course. If you need to learn from basic to advanced without any gimmick, TTP is the only course.
Apart from the course, their on-spot support is great. Shoot any doubt to their experts, you will get your query resolved with complete satisfaction. The only thing you need to do is just holistically follow their course structure (you can set your target score, it will automatically set your course and practice test goals.) One best thing is that they will never teach you any gimmick that works some of the time but not others. In last, I will say TTP is an awesome program and worth more than its cost.

I was struggling with Quant and wanted a service that had plenty of practice questions for me to familiarize myself with the various question types. After seeing the plethora of questions on TTP through their 1-week trial, I decided to pull the trigger. My quant obviously improved but I found that the verbal was also super helpful. The OnTarget Analytics was also great at the very end of my prep to go back and strengthen my weak points. If you follow the course and complete it 100%, doing all of the chapter tests and hitting the target scores, your GMAT score will improve for sure. All around 5 stars!

TTP comes prepared with an extremely detailed study plan and all I had to do was follow it exactly as they had laid out and put in the hard work. They teach all concepts so thoroughly in such a way that you actually feel like you're learning and understanding the information. They put you through numerous practice tests (split by difficulty level) which really drills in the concepts that they teach. They even have review tests throughout the prep to ensure that you remember concepts taught earlier in the course. This is quite important as it is a comprehensive and detailed module, so these recaps will make you feel more confident about concepts you have already learned.

Personally, I loved how available the instructors were at all times. They were just one message away and I got the feeling that they really wanted to help me out. This is a really important factor especially in these online courses and adds that personal touch.

The AI-based platform is well integrated and all the necessary modules are covered well for the initial part of the preparation.
The AI engine is also good at finding your weakness automatically from your practice questions so that you won't have to. This makes the progress faster.
But do not believe the practice test scores, the only true measurement of how you are performing is official OG and nothing comes close. Take the predicted score with a grain of salt and make your own evaluation of what is good for you.
That being said, the platform acts as a good assistant in your initial phases of preparation is much better than Magoosh.

The path towards completing the GMAT is indeed well trodden and well documented these days. Whether you are just starting this journey, or find yourself at an impasse like I did, I hope my example can offer you some guidance and encouragement.

My journey was long and at times a struggle. When I decided to take the GMAT, I knew that it was going to be tough, but I never anticipated how tough. The last time I had grappled with maths was at the age of 15 when I finished my GCSE's. Some 12 years later, with a language degree and brand consultancy career behind me, I set about learning Maths again from scratch. After 2 months I had studied the Manhattan Foundations Quant book from cover to cover and buoyed with confidence, sat my first mock....which was a disaster. 350. At this point I realised that if the GMAT was my Everest, I had yet to arrive even at basecamp.

Undeterred, I set about another month's study, concentrating my energies on the higher-level Quant questions, however further mocks showed only modest improvements. By this stage, deadlines for business schools were fast approaching and I realised I needed to reach out for help.

It was about early December 2016 that I was introduced to Michael Maietta, (@GMATNinjaTwo) via Charles Biblios, aka GMAT Ninja. Mike came highly recommended by Charles. As I was studying from the UK, I questioned whether working with a teacher based in the USA was a sensible plan. However, Mike quickly found a schedule that worked for me and we set to work via Skype.

From the moment we started, I knew that working with Mike was going to be a rewarding experience. He is both hugely talented, professional and insightful while at the same time bringing a level of fun and energy into the classroom that kept me looking forward to the next lesson (something I didn't know was possible with Maths!). He very quickly got the measure of me and created a plan that would build upon my foundation level and enable me to advance towards the harder questions.

Having achieved a top GMAT score himself, he was able to not only give me a secure grasp of the core Quant and Verbal topics, but also teach me those crucial time saving tricks that I wasn't able to learn from pouring over books or watching online videos (I had watched a lot of self-help videos to little avail!). As Maths was not a natural discipline for me, it was even more impressive that he was able to translate these concepts, at times very complex, into a language I could understand and use.

I also would not have prevailed were it not for Mike's remarkable ability to motivate and push me forwards. Given the size of the task ahead, it was easy on occasion to lose focus/spirit and whenever this happened, he would find a way to get me fired up again. His level of dedication to my cause was exemplary and far exceeded what I expected. This is a real string to his bow and again another reason why going down the tutor route paid dividends.

One final credit I would like to bestow upon Mike was his insight into the tactics of taking the test. Mike helped work towards my deadlines and had a solid strategy for using the precious Mock tests/ practice material. As the test date neared, he adjusted the intensity to ensure I was exam fit and was always conscientious of the external factors that would also play an important role in optimising my test day performance, such as sleep, exercise and diet. I trusted in his guidance and when the big day came, I felt as ready as I ever could be.

When I left the exam centre, I not only had a 280 point improvement over my previous scores (I'll let you be the judge of the scale of this improvement), but also a score that got me into IESE Business School, one of the top 3 business schools outside of the USA. So, if you're reading this and are thinking tuition might be something for you or you've hit an impasse and don't know how to move forward, I really can't recommend getting tutor support more. You can check both Mike and Charles' profiles on their GMAT Ninja web-page (google search). Thanks to Mike, the GMAT didn't stand in the way of my career aspirations. I am forever grateful.

I was suggested the verbal online course by a friend who used it a few years ago. The verbal section is very elaborate. It covers everything from basics and prepares you to tackle the difficult SC questions. I improved significantly and learned to tackle the SC questions with a structured approach, saving precious time.
The CR section also introduces you to the different types of questions you may find GMAT and gives you enough practice to learn. The RC section could have some more difficult questions. I found the RC of GMAT to be more difficult than what I solved in RC practice questions.

I bought the quant course only to practice questions and did not go through the whole course as it covered maths basics and I didn't need it, but it is great for someone who does not have a Maths background.

I really liked the Scholarnium with clear classifications of questions by difficulty level. The analysis after you give a test is very helpful to understand where you can improve.

The mock tests were good but I didn't find them very close to the real GMAT. It is good for practice but please do not take the scores seriously, as the marking scheme is very different from what GMAT has. But it does teach you time management and gives you a glimpse of what to expect in real GMAT.

Overall I recommend this to every GMAT enthusiast, especially its verbal course.

Entering the GMAT world was so overwhelming with a ton of options available everywhere and I initially looked at the prep companies with a lot of scepticism. Once I was done exploring GmatClub and attending various webinars, I could figure out the most prominent players. I came across E-GMAT during that time, attending their free webinars every weekend to gain familiarity with the GMAT but never actually seriously considering it. I only took the plunge once my GMAT score had plateaued at 690 after 4 attempts over 2 years of self-preparation. Looking in hindsight now, how I wish I had gone for it earlier. Attending those free webinars, I always thought that E-GMAT had a methodical and simplified approach to the application of concepts and it became the reason I trusted them over others.

The product that E-GMAT has created is just phenomenal. A simple interface, yet one containing a ton of insights and data that gives you critical feedback points throughout your prep. If utilized in the correct way, following the step-by-step process that E-GMAT advocates, the Scholaranium platform is designed to help you succeed. The concept files, the Scholaranium question bank and the mocks are seamlessly integrated within the product and you don’t need to go outside this ecosystem.

The verbal prep from E-GMAT was an eye-opener for me. The course starts with strengthening the most basic fundamentals of understanding and constructing a sentence through the Master comprehension course. It significantly reduces your mistakes and prep time across all the sections. Mastering the meaning-based approach, deeply embedded throughout the SC course, will alone improves your SC ability on GMAT. The logical intended meaning of the question will always take precedence over the grammar rules.
Similarly, the pre-thinking approach taught in CR section forces you to think of possible answers before attempting a question until it becomes a habit. The attention given to each question type and subtype in CR course provides so many different perspectives of looking at a question stem. The course teaches the concept, and the approach and solidifies both through application files.

Every person has somewhat a unique approach to Reading comprehension; however, RC ability is built over time and the only way to do that is to read a lot. RC ability is tested by the GMAT over a range of topics that you may like or dislike. E-GMAT RC course focuses a lot on reading strategies that encourage you to read more actively and understand the intent of the author.

Quant course is even better. The course advocates a series of steps that help you solve a question under 2 minutes effectively. Its flexible enough to let you skip the stronger areas and extensive enough to work on your weak areas. Needless to say, all concepts tested on GMAT are present in Quant course and solving difficult level questions methodically gives a real boost to your quant ability whether you have a quant background or you don’t.

The scholaranium has one of the best question banks I have come across my prep and it’s aided by a lot of data points that help you identify your weak areas and fine tune your prep. You can see the performance statistics for the individual sections such as assumption, strengthen, etc. and further drill down to your performance over a number of attempted questions as well as the difficulty level. The takt time can also be seen to identify any timing issues over a particular set of questions. All these stats are based on the questions attempted via customizable quizzes that highlight non-ideal issues such as luck factor, rush factor, etc. The answers explanations are superb and in case of any query, every question has a discussion thread where answers are provided by E-GMAT experts.

E-GMAT mocks are also really good and closely resemble your ability as per GMAT. I can vouch for it because I had tried both official and Manhattan mocks, which are also awesome. The insights provided with the mocks are mind-boggling. They give you the sense of your block-wise timing, accuracy, etc. Its ESR + additional cool info. There are 6 Sigma-X mocks available in E-GMAT with each having its own question bank, so no repetitions. Leveraging my analysis of the mock, I transcended from a score of 660 on my sigma-X mock to 740 on my actual GMAT just 3 days later.

Lastly, the support provided by E-GMAT mentors complements everything mentioned above and really is the difference between getting a good (sub-700) vs an awesome (720+) score. I was lucky enough to be engaged in the Last mile push program by Dhananjay (DJ) who gave me a structured and personalized plan right from the beginning. I was already saturated with 4 attempts on GMAT and yet I learned so many things in my 5th attempt that I didn’t before. DJ pushed me a lot to do that introspection and get over my weak areas. He helped me analyse my performances through the error logs and came up with key inputs or training videos from time to time whenever I got stuck in a particular section. He kept me accountable by setting up the weekly milestones. There was I time when I got frustrated and wanted to move to another section but DJ quickly identified that word problems was my weak area and helped me improve my ability to 80% from 30% in the section. Despite helping so many students, his replies were always prompt and always carried I tinge of motivation that is so much needed when you are trying to ace the GMAT.

To sum up, if you want all-in-one package for GMAT prep, you don’t need to look elsewhere.

I started with a score of 680(Q49V34) in my official practice test in September. I had planned to prepare for two months. Since I prefer learning through a structured course, I searched online and came across e-gmat. I liked the structure and content and signed up for it. What I enjoyed the most about e-gmat was Payal's video lectures. I really appreciate the time and dedication she and the team have put into providing such excellent explanations. The concepts are very well explained, and I felt great re-learning some of them. It didn't translate to an increase in my quant score, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning things like probability which I was previously nervous about. The tabular approach for distance and rate related problems helped me become more confident tackling these problems. In Verbal section, Pre-thinking for CR questions was very helpful. Their approach for solving bold-faced questions was super useful and I started to enjoy solving them.

The biggest mistake I made during my preparation was trying to complete reviewing all the concept videos before taking up mock tests. If I were to do it again, I would have simultaneously taken mock tests every weekend while going through the concept videos and also not try to complete all the videos in a short sitting.

Because I hadn't practiced enough, I was super nervous for my first attempt. I hadn't developed my time management skills either. I ended up exceeding my break time between Quant and Verbal by 4 minutes. That along with my lack of sleep and anxiety contributed to a super low score, much lower than my first practice test. I had to cancel immediately.

I planned to prepare better for my next attempt. I realized that it wasn't that I wasn't good enough to get a good score. It was that my approach was not right. I reached out to the e-gmat support team and decided to follow their advice promptly. Atreya first responded and suggested taking the practice quizzes and completing the cementing stage. When I reached out again a couple of days before my test, DJ responded with helpful suggestions. The guidance provided by the e-gmat team was also very helpful in taking the required quizzes which prepped me better and helped reduce my test-day anxiety. I was able to get a score of 740 (Q49V42) in December.

One thing which I felt could be improved in the e-gmat course was providing an overview of what the Sentence Correction is testing us on and what the different kinds of errors are. I could have missed this as I went through all the videos and concepts of this section without really understanding the application of them. I really struggled with SC and it was only after going through Gmat Ninja's YouTube videos that I was able to grasp the bigger picture better. After that, the Scholaranuim quizzes certainly helped cement the concepts.

Overall e-gmat has great content, practice quizzes, and support available. I would definitely recommend it. For others who are reading this, I would say please plan to leverage all their resources, reach out to their support team early, take as many practice quizzes regularly even if you don't feel ready, and continually iterate on your approach, see what is working and what isn't.

Hi, I recently took the GMAT and scored a 760. I have been using the online preparation material provided by GMAT Whiz. Following is my evaluation of various aspects of the course:

1: The content: The content is well-curated, comprehensive, and to the point. The integration of AI into the course is one of the most important plus points of the course. I could feel the benefit of this especially when I was learning the Quant section. Coming from a quantitative background, I was already aware of most of the aspects needed for the section. However, to regain familiarity with the concepts, I felt that it was necessary to watch sectional videos. Unlike the other GMAT test prep platforms ( a few of which I have used in the past), the Whiz platform provided curated content based on my performance from short sectional tests. Honestly, this avoided watching the videos on the basic concepts and helped save a lot of time. Furthermore, each video is broken up into different sections with specific time markers that let students navigate through the sections with ease. Again this helped me focus my effort on the weak areas and make the best use of my time. In addition, the quality of the questions on the platform is top-notch and commendable.

I felt the verbal section is very comprehensive and the experts are very knowledgeable. For instance in CR, they have broken down the pre-thinking approach ( as some call it) into a series of practical steps that anyone can follow while solving a critical reasoning question. Earlier I used to believe pre-thinking is a method that is more intuitive than method-based. But on the Whiz platform, the team has broken down the CR stimulus into several sub-sections and provided multiple pre-thinking approaches to identify the conculsion/strengthner/weakner depending upon the nature of the stimulus. This boosted my confidence in the CR sections and improved my timings.

2 The Team: Unlike most of the other test prep companies, the service provided by GMAT Whiz is not just limited to the course it offers. The help that the Whiz team offered me in my GMAT journey is praiseworthy. I had catch-up calls scheduled directly with the Founder, Piyush Beriwala, every single week. The strategies, insights, and motivation that he provided have contributed immensely to my GMAT test score of 760. In addition, the strategy calls with the verbal expert were immensely helpful in identifying my weaknesses. The commitment that the team has shown in helping me realize my goal and the expertise of the team are two factors that I absolutely loved both the platform.

I strongly recommend GMAT Whiz to all the aspirants who are serious about accomplishing a great score on GMAT.
