How to get the basics of Verbal right?

I have used numerous sources for my verbal preparation. Started with OG, went to Kaplan, Manhattan, Magoosh, Bible for CR prep. But somehow nothing worked. My Verbal score never improved by a huge chunk which left me worried as to how will I be able to score a good percentile in my GMAT. After reading lots of reviews of e-gmat, I gave it a shot. I started with free SC webinar taught by Payal. In those 2 hours and 4 questions, I could understand way more than what I couldn't in past few months. The basic concept to perform any question, how meaning is very important - these are few things which I never focussed upon. Hence I enrolled myself into Verbal class and saw my accuracy go up drastically. Another interesting feature is Scholaranium which details out strengths and weaknesses. I haven't seen such analytics before with any other preparation company.
