90 point improvement - V28 to V39

Strengths:

This course is very structured and assumes that the student has no prior knowledge of the concepts, which helps a lot, especially in verbal where as a non native speaker, I was not familiar with many concepts of the English Language.

Apart from that, this course does not go into technical terms, which is really good as the terms are hard to remember. For eg- The SC course refers to gerunds as verb-ing nouns, simplifying it for non native speakers.

Finally, the prompt support responses and the personal attention give to student make all the difference.

Would make the product better:

1. Faster playback option in the concept files - much needed if I am already familiar with a concept/revising a concept.
2. Revamp IR section - As IR would be a big part of the GMAT focus addition, it needs a revamp of the IR course.

Overall a great course which helped me improve my score by 90 points! The course is very well structured, explains everything in detail and builds step by step on every ability - by starting on easier level questions and moving on to tougher ones. Their strategies like maintaining an error log, had immense impact on my preparation. Initially, I did not follow these, but when I started following these strategies, it helped my verbal score a lot.

Coming to the verbal section, It has everything you could ask for. The meaning based approach in SC, the pre-thinking approach in CR and RC help a lot in solving those hard level questions, which take a lot of time and effort, in a structured manner. The small quizzes in the end of every concept helped me to cement the skills I learnt. After completing a subsection, there is a cementing process which helps in cementing the ability which I gained in the course by practicing on GMAT like questions. The level of questions in these quizzes was similar to those in the real GMAT. Helped in a lot to improve in my weaker areas, especially SC.

About the quant section, as my starting score was Q50, I was familiar with most of the concepts and the study plan recommended me to move straight to the cementing stage. The level of the questions in quant is little bit higher than the actual GMAT, which kept me grounded and not overconfident of my skills. Any concept which I was weak in I could practice and master through the concept files.

Last but not the least, the amount of personal attention and support the team provided me is the most important reason for my score improvement. I purchased the course in January and was not serious, not even completing the verbal course fully till mid April. I mailed the team about my situation and from that day onwards, they have kept no stone unturned in helping me better myself. From daily study plans to detailed mock analysis, they helped in every way possible. Special thanks to Akash from the E-GMAT team who helped me till the last night of my preparation!

Will recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their score, especially in verbal.
