I enrolled for eGMAT after some research and word of mouth. A friend told me it is solid and she got a good score with eGMAT.

I also read the reviews that eGMAT has great Verbal content, and I could see that as soon as I started my preparation. The SC course is taught with a focus on meaning with a solid base of grammar. They encourage you to read, pause and visualise. This technique helped me in all the 3 subsections.

I got a 680 on my first actual exam, but I knew it wasn't an honest attempt. My CR was weak and I did not pay enough attention to analyse it.

For my second attempt, I contacted eGMAT for the last mile push program for which I could get a mentor and a personalised plan. My mentor, Rida Shafeek helped me analyse what weaknesses I have and made a personalised weekly plan based on how much time I could commit. I just had a month for my retake.
Rida helped me with constant feedback, tailor-made quizzes and in-depth performance analysis.
With consistent mentorship throughout the final weeks, I solidified my weaknesses and finally scored a 730 on my second attempt!

The top 3 areas I needed help in were SC, CR and word problems in maths. Pre-thinking did not work for me, but what worked was identifying the gaps in CR arguments. And those were the key to any answer.

I highly recommend eGMAT, especially if anyone's struggling with Verbal
