Egmat's verbal section has really helped me to conquer my weakest section, sentence correction. Since I had never been focused on using correct grammar, I was performing terribly in this specific section. The course structure helped me to clear the fundamentals and follow the meaning based approach which actually worked quite in my favor. Also the 3 step process designed by Egmat is quite a reliable tool for people who are not much experienced with grammar rules.
For QA, the best part is the course begins everything from scratch, which is helpful for people coming from non quantitative background.
I am thankful to Payal and entire Egmat team.

Back in 2018, I scored just a 580 on the GMAT. I was so distraught with the whole process that I almost gave up only to come back in 2021 to give it a try once more and start preparing for GMAT again. I started preparing back in Jan 2021 and solved all the OG questions and when it was time to give my mocks, I observed that my score was not levelling above 640-650 in all Manhattan and VERITAS mocks. That is when I reached out to e-GMAT folks in May to get the help I needed to improve my Verbal score. I had opted for just the Verbal online course from e-GMAT for which I had read a zillion reviews online of how intensive and thorough the course is.

I believed that my Quant was strong enough for me to score a Q49+ and that reflected in my prep and all the mocks too. I never scored below a Q48 in Quant, but to my dismay not sure what really happened on the test day that I just scored a Q44 even though I felt it had went well.

Verbal: The Verbal course was really thorough starting from the Master Comprehension module which makes you acquainted with how to read and comprehend really long sentences by taking appropriate pause points. This will help test takers in tackling both the lengthy SC questions as well as making sense of the CR and RC questions.
Although I was doing well in the OG questions and getting questions correct, I didn't know if I am getting a question right for right reasons and why are all the other 4 choices incorrect.
This is where e-GMAT's famous process proves to be utter useful. They have a very well-defined process for all the three sections in Verbal. For SC, they helped me inculcate meaning based approach which worked wonders for me to push those verbal barriers. It was an eye opener for me to realise how blindly I used to approach SC questions earlier. Similarly for CR, pre-thinking helped me get to that right answer pretty quickly. Although I felt it to be cumbersome and time consuming earlier, I realised its value soon enough and started using it while attempting CR questions. I personally was struggling a lot with RC more than any other section and personalised feedback videos from Harsha and my mentor DJ really helped me ace it. Like I never gave up on the journey and stuck o the process, neither did the entire e-GMAT team gave up on me. I could just send an email to the team and they would get back within 24 hours by hook or crook.

Their error log templates tailor made for SC and CR helped me pin point on the exact mistakes I used to make and eventually you do find a pattern of the mistakes you commit. Very importantly, the biggest help in e-GMAT was the question bank (Scholaranium 2.0) and the explanations. It is such an awesome tool with a plethora of questions to practice. each question had a clear solution with details of how to approach a question. And for the few questions where the explanations weren't understandable or thorough, I could just go to the ask an expert section where other test takers like me would have asked a similar doubt and the verbal experts would have clarified the doubts.

Lastly, I cannot finish my review without giving a special shout out to my mentor DJ. The kind of mentoring he provided and the way he was always brutally honest with me during the entire journey of prep was unparalleled. He was always very encouraging and pushed me in the right direction to get to this score in Verbal which I could have only dreamed of earlier. And when I was almost there and just needed a slightly harder push, he enrolled me to the Last Mile Push program wherein he just made me focus on my improvement areas and refine and finesse my verbal skills. The Last mile program made me believe in myself even more and got me to that score of V41.
I will always be immensely thankful to DJ and the entire team of e-GMAT.

GMAT journey is a very exhausting journey and takes a toll on you at times. It may not be easy to start with but eventually will lead to success. And the team sitting right here is extremely supportive and will guide you in the right direction. Personally, I would say that had I taken the course slightly earlier, my prep time would have been reduced by more than half. This is indeed a ONE STOP SOLUTION for acing the GMAT !

GmaṭWhiz improved my score and my understanding of the questions and approach . The portal is extremely good and the AI helps in providing structural guidance and plans . The verbal section is designed in such a way that all the relevant information is covered up and its super easy to understand. The Quant section has tough sums but from the videos and the tough questions a student will be able to do questions with logic and deep understanding of the variables in play in the question . The Gmat tutor Prep is something I would recommend for all students. The teachers are very experienced .They are focus more on the understanding and approach of the student and very easily dissect the problem and help in using the right approach to a question . And once a student follows this new approach he/she can easily score a high score . The GmatWhiz tutors helped my understand the intended meaning of the question, understand the way a question needs to be addressed and finally teach me the most full proof method of getting answers correct. Their classes and their videos together helped me improve my marks and really dissect the paper and make it approachable .

I took the GMAT on self study on the end of September and got 710. I was looking for a prep material that could help me get the additional 20-30 i needed and found Egmat pretty well structured and advanced.

The overall material is good, with nice explanations and exercises. However, i think the material is good to help you arrive to the 700 milestone. Still, it is not sufficient if you plan to score a higher score like top 5 % as it lacks the tips and tricks to do that. Some of these tricks, especially in Quant, were included in the Gmat club forums but not in the preparation material. Moreover, the Verbal section might be a little bit biased as my real verbal score was below all the mocks i took.

Overall, good for preparing if you are new to Gmat.

I started my GMAT Prep in June 2021, and was keen on joining a coaching institute that would teach in a live and interactive manner. I ended up joining another apparently "well-known" coaching institute and wasted 4 months (Jun-Sep) and 40K for a 3-month seemingly live course, only to realise that neither my doubts were getting cleared, nor was I getting any proper guidance (faculty was rude every time I'd ask a doubt in the live classes). All they taught were short cuts and tricks that never worked for me. In October 2019, when I took my first attempt at GMAT, I scored a mere 630 which wouldn't get me anywhere. (Please note, I got a 730 in GMAT Practice test 4 just one day before the test; I found out that the famous coaching institute had used some of the quant questions and RC passages from official mock questions in classroom teaching and perhaps hence my scores were inflated). After my GMAT, I contacted my previous coaching institute faculty seeking further guidance, only to get ghosted (faculty wouldn't respond even after I tried calling them 3-4 times). Frustrated, I rigorously searched online and came across e-gmat and after reading verified reviews and reading free eGMAT topics, set up a call with Sundeep on October 5 and explained him my situation. I had already missed R1 and desperately wanted to apply in R2. Sundeep guided me, explaining exactly how many hours I needed to put in, over the next 2 months. I immediately bought the 2 month online focussed course and started my prep. I started with SC, which was my weakest section (scored a mere 50th percentile in the first sigmaX mock). After going through most of the topic videos, taking all the cementing quizzes, and 1 ability quiz, my SC score touched 97th percentile in the second sigmaX mock. The meaning based approach was really the key! I knew most of the basic concepts (basically had the key ingredients), but did not know how to apply them without judging the correct intended meaning. Once SC became my strength, CR and RC had to be worked upon. I watched all the CR videos (at this point I hadn't touched RC) and took a few cementing quizzes. I must work more on RC and CR to score more than a V35.
eGMAT course aims to build the ability to solve questions, rather than just providing useless tricks that do not always work. Quant has been my strong area, as I am from an engineering background; however, the courses have helped me fill the gaps and reach a Q50.
I took another GMAT on 30th November and scored a 700 (Q50,V35). After that, I reached out to the team and was immediately responded back by Dhananjay. I'm now looking forward to his guidance to help me improve my scores (hopefully by December end) and I place my full trust on eGMAT and the faculty.
(Another positive point of this course is that your doubts get cleared immediately with the help of respective discussion threads, so you don't have to deal with unresponsive / rude faculty. At the end of the day, one must get the value for their hard earned money and eGMAT is worth every penny!)

After wasting 1 year of my life, and 1 GMAT online attempt in which I scored a 590 (Q48 V23), I joined GMATWhiz with a lot of hope. I have been associated with GMATWhiz for over 6 months now, and it has made all the difference. Their course is so well structured, and the modules are so well taught, that anyone who has no idea of Quants/Verbal can also learn and score well in this exam. The AI used is so accurate. It helps you structure your personalized course, with your own pace. The score predictor is wonderful. I haven't seen such an accurate score predictor. The quizzes and mocks are very close to the actual GMAT and the scoring system of GMATWhiz is wonderful.
They assign you to your personal mentor, who keeps a track of your overall performance and timely guides you. I was greatly benefited by the guidance of my mentor, Shreyyash sir. He pointed out all my weak areas, and gave me personal teaching sessions as well in the areas where I was struggling a lot. He also helped me setting a timeline and guided me throughout my journey. Thank you so much Shreyyash sir, I can't be thankful enough. He helped me reach 680 in just few months. I am still in contact with the whole GMATWhiz team, who are helping me to improve further.
I would recommend students to opt for GMATWhiz, which gives you what you are looking for:
1. Great course structure that can teach a newbie
2. Personalized course
3. A personal mentor who guides you throughout your GMAT journey
4. Accurate score predictor and marking scheme

For me, my weak area was verbal (as you can see in my score). I was never able to get any CR question right. And with RC I used to get scared just by reading the passage.
GMATWhiz has a well structured syllabus for Verbal. Their Critical reasoning module gives you all the frameworks which make it very easy to solve any easy/medium/hard level CR questions within 1.5 minutes. The CR module helped me a lot. I was able to see my improvement and it made me so much confident. Also the SC module is very well structure. With all the golden rules they provide you with, it will be hard making any question incorrect. And at last RC module, which is the most dreaded of all, turned out to be the easiest. With GMATWhiz RC course, you get the strategy to deal with every passage and every question.
And if you still have issues, they are always ready to give you a personal one on one session.
In short GMATWhiz makes you well equipped with all the tools you require for the actual exam.
With the verbal course I was able to improve tremendously from V23 to a V36 in less than 4 months. You just have to be patient, and trust the process. They are the gurus, and will definitely help you reach your goal.

Working as a research associate in the venture capital arm of a financial services company, time management was the biggest challenge for me as my work consumes almost 12-14 hours of my daily routine. I barely had enough time to plan things very well. Also, it had been quite a while since I left my education days behind and you know, once you enter your working phase, you hardly come across those quant/verbal logic in your daily life. So, I needed something that would help me from the very basics to the most advanced strategies. And as a full-time working professional, I just did not have time to attend tutoring classes.
For ease of prep, obviously, I started doing my research and used the trial period offered by various test prep companies like E-GMAT, CrackVerbal, etc, and used their free mocks. As a result, what I found was the content that these platforms were offering was quite static, lacked actual personalization, and would require a lot of my personal effort in planning. For a working professional like me, it would have been a very tedious task as I could not afford to give my time in planning, I could only execute. For that, I needed somebody to rely upon completely. Once I gave the GMATWhiz mock and used their free trial, I was amazed by the way their course was designed. The best thing about GMATWhiz was that everything was automated using AI. I did not have to do anything. The system asked me a few questions and basically gave everything to me as per my requirements. Things being in such organized fashion, I was like I have struck gold with them, and I chose to go with it!
Their course addressed every fear and concern I had. Especially with everything being so tech-focused. With covid, and everything going digital these days, it made sense to me, that their course was driven by an AI algorithm which basically told me everything I needed to do and, also told me how to do it! It asks about your weekly commitment and devises a study plan based on your schedule. All I had to do was just log in and see my tasks for the day and I was good to go. Being a working professional who could barely spare 24-26 hours per week, I was greatly benefited by its comprehensive nature.
The use of AI is tremendous, and it personalizes everything for you. Their course provided everything I needed to study, and I could blindly follow the study plan suggested by the AI as it was so intuitive. I also loved the concept boosters as they allowed me to learn specific concepts and the customized practice quizzes they offered allowed me to work on both my strengths and weaknesses. Quizzes were the best part. They have concept booster quizzes to strengthen the topics that you are good at, quizzes on topics you are struggling with, and time management quizzes too with a couple of questions to help to learn how to manage time. Plus, the approach due to the AI was very efficient. For example, when I took a quiz, my performance was recorded, and the next quiz would be based on my current level while considering the previous quizzes. This way, the quizzes were never repetitive in nature, and I was learning new things every time. I could skip the topics that I was good at and focus only on topics where I lagged. Since I only had a month’s time to prepare, this was a very progressive and logical approach for me.
The AI helped me find my weak areas and work on them. For example, despite being a fast reader, I was weak in RC, and I could not figure out where I was going wrong. RC, being my weak area, the AI helped me understand that I was following the wrong reading strategies. Accordingly, it gave me the guidance to follow certain exercises, focus on what I was doing wrong, and get the improvement required with the help of improvement modules. The approaches being taught for all the sections in Verbal were really helpful. My Verbal score improved from V31 to V41 in a month’s time using the right methods of solving the questions and my overall score improved to 720. I was more than happy!
On the exam day, I managed to finish both the Verbal and Quant sections before time, unlike many aspirants who struggle to finish in time. One thing that I understood from my experience was that if you get the concepts and methods right along with the strategies, time management will never be a problem.
Although the course was so well structured, there was no need for any personal mentor, the role of Piyush and the entire GMATWhiz team has been instrumental in my journey. I feel I was fortunate to have this journey under their guidance and support.
I would recommend my fellow aspirants to try the free trials offered by all other GMAT service providers along with GMATWhiz because only then you will be able to make out the difference that GMATWhiz offers. I am sure you won’t regret it choosing GMATWhiz.
All the best!

I scored a 640 twice on the GMAT and was completely lost after my second 640 not knowing what to do and how to improve from there and what I can do to get a better score.

Quant: I have always been strong in Quant and got a Q50 in most of my practice tests, but ended up scoring only Q47 and Q48 in the actual test. E-Gmat really helped bridge those gaps in a few concepts that stopped me from scoring a Q50. Each practice test and session was followed by a thorough review and a "going back to the basic concepts" kind of approach which really helped hone my quant skills to secure a Q50.

Verbal: The Verbal course was also really thorough. I almost had to start from scratch and redefine my whole approach in CR and RC and E-Gmat helped do this.

The biggest help in E-Gmat was the question bank and the explanations. Each question had a clear solution with details of how to approach a question. But for the few questions where the explanations weren't understandable or thorough, I could just send an email to the team and they would get back within 24 hours.

Lastly, I cannot finish my review without mentioning the mentoring that Aditee Biyani provided. She was always very encouraging and pushed me in the right direction to get to this score.
I'll always be thankful to E-Gmat.

Final words:
I cannot help but mention the fact that I did feel lonely in this journey many times and lost motivation to study. GMAT is a journey and you can only choose your vehicle but you have to do the driving. Looking back on my journey now, I cannot help but wish I drove harder and pushed above that 740+ score.

TTP is without a doubt the best GMAT prep out there. I started with a 530 and with only a few months of TTP I scored a 760. Q50 V42. I initially used Manhattan books, but I was really struggling with their books; so I tried something new. TTP is extremely lengthy and comprehensive, so you have to put a lot of time into it. It took me 250 hours to complete. $99 a month and a lot of time investment is a small price to pay in my opinion. The improvements you will make using TTP will serve you extremely well when applying to grad school.

It was after receiving a 610 (Q36 V37) In the second attempt at GMAT that I started looking for a good quant course for GMAT.

I searched the internet and found that TTP had a very good reputation. A lot of people had great things to speak about TTP.

I subscribed to their week long trial, After a week of using it, I was convinced of its value and subscribed to it.

TTP turned out to be one of our best investments for GMAT. The Target Test Prep course. This was a game changer, It had an extensive and exhaustive course structure and tonnes of questions to solve. I spent upwards of 400 Hrs on the course solving various questions, learning new concepts and analysing various errors that I commonly made. This course drastically improved my confidence in Quant. I owe most of what I learned in quant to this course.

This is an amazing resource, with amazing support form tutors when ever you have a doubt.

I would recommend TTP to anyone who is looking at a great GMAT course.
