Best verbal course for non-native!

Improvement 60 Points

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

I'm a non-native who used to be quite confident about my English skills. I got a TOEFL of 113/120.
Math has always been my worst nightmare, but I had no idea verbal part could be so traumatizing.
GMAT verbal was nothing like what I thought it would be.

I've finished all the questions in the Official Guide and Verbal Review...twice.
I took a GMAT course that cost around 1,000 USD.
Hired a native private tutor that cost around 100 USD/hr.
Still nothing really worked.
I still couldn't improve my verbal score that much.

Then my friend introduced to E-GMAT. My first thought was that it was a lot cheaper that all the courses I've attended. I've done no research on the reviews about the course whatsoever, but decided to try it anyway.

I've found that the course structure and interface were so easy to navigate.
Each VDO clip is short, yet informative. And they are structured in a way that makes your learning curve about each topic improve very quickly.
(You have to take a quiz at the end of each clip before you can move on to other sections. The quiz helped to improve my application of each of the concept a lot.)

E-GMAT focuses more on training your brain to be more used to GMAT kind of logic, which to me, is the most important of all.
The pre-thinking approach they've introduced was very useful. It helped improve the time I spend/que. a lot.
The scholaranium part was the best part. It will help you keep track of your progress so you can strengthen one part at a time.
The course helped improved 5 points for my verbal part for my last GMAT. And I'l still be using it to improve my score further more.

I would highly recommend this online course to anyone taking the GMAT to give this a try.
