GMAT 720 to 750 using e-GMAT Verbal Online (2 week preparation)

Dear GMAT club users,

I gave my 1st attempt in May-2015 after 2 week of preparation using OG-2015 and GMAT Prep tests. I scored a score of 720 (Q50 / V38). Then i had to resume my work duties and was extremely busy with work life.

As i was unhappy with my score, and i knew that i had to tackle the Verbal section properly, i decided to get my ESR (Enhanced Score Report) from mba.com to better analyse my weak areas. The ESR was extremely helpful in helping me understand that my weakest area was Sentence Correction, while on the other hand i had a perfect score in RC.

Thus, i decided to take a 2 week vacation and focus all my attention on SC. I enquired with my friends and looked into courseware from many providers. After a day of careful consideration, i decided to go ahead with e-GMATs Verbal online courseware to focus on SC. Best GMAT related decision. Thanks to my friends for this wise advice and thus the reason for this post, to help my fellow GMAT club peers.

Result was a 750 (Q50 / V41) after just 2 weeks of preparation.

Strengths of the courseware:
1) The course is well structured. It ensures that the courseware is presented in a cogent manner. This ensures you don't forget the earlier portions, as you progress with the courseware.

2) I was much more confident in tackling SC questions after completing this coursework. I am sure you would feel the same even in practice tests. Before the start of the courseware, my success rate on SC questions was 50%. After completion of the course, it shot up to 80%.

3) Courseware tackles modifiers very strongly. In my opinion, its the best part of the SC portion in e-GMAT.

4) The articles by Rajat are a must read.

Weaknesses:
1) The courseware in the initial phase seems a bit boring. Ensure that you carry on without losing trust in the courseware. I felt i am going in the wrong direction, in the first two days of the courware. But i was wrong. Be patient.

2) The online videos are good, but some portions/topics need more polishing and better editing.

Overall Rating i would give is 4.5 out of 5.

Thanks e-GMAT.

Regards,
Ekansh.
