(The following review is an honest, unpaid and unbiased assessment of e-GMAT's Verbal Live Prep course as a satisfied user.)
I signed up for e-GMAT on July 27, went through their general instructions, and went straight to the SC concept files. I discovered that the concept files provided very good explanations of the fundamental rules of grammar and sentence construction that are most relevant to the actual GMAT test.
The quizzes at the end of each concept file allowed me to test and solidify my understanding of the lessons I had just completed.
I also found the explanatory notes at the end of every answer quite comprehensive, precise and easy to understand. These explanations showed that any question can be attempted by sincerely following the approach laid out in the concept files.
I didn’t always score well in the quizzes that followed the concept files. However, I followed e-GMAT’s suggestion to flag the incorrect or trickier questions and return to them as often as required, until I began to answer them correctly. Gaining complete clarity on e-GMAT questions in this way proved to be the game-changer for me, because those questions seem to be designed to closely resemble actual GMAT questions.
I scored relatively lower on most RC and CR quizzes for quite some time. The breakthrough happened when I began to patiently apply pre-thinking steps and started to zero in on the correct solutions faster and with significantly better accuracy.
My suggestion to anyone who signs up for e-GMAT -
Pay attention to the instructions and try not to deviate from the suggested way of using e-GMAT.
Try to stick to the order in which concept files are presented.
Don’t skip the quizzes at the end of the concept files.
Don’t get discouraged if you cannot score well on the quizzes in your first, second or even fifth attempt. Just read the explanatory notes carefully, flag the question, and come back to them.
e-GMAT’s RC and CR questions can be intimidating, but that's only to prepare you better for the actual GMAT. The trick lies in perseverance and practice.
