Couple of key points need to be reiterated before I start (Did not take these into consideration for the initial 2 mocks):
1. Do not ignore the Official guides, they are extremely helpful.
2. Do not go without giving proper mocks
3. Ensure you're able to function at 100 % during the examination hours
For the course review, I want to highlight that this course is going to be extremely helpful to you in case you're a non-native speaker and verbal is your achilles heel. This was the case for me and my fundamentals for grammar were extremely weak (specifically SC). The 1st GMAT ESR report confirmed the same, that is, my weak areas were DS in Quants and SC in Verbal. For sentence correction, I needed a course that I could do on my own (full time job with variable timings across regions makes it really difficult to join a course and weekends are sometimes working as well). This is where E-GMAT Verbal Online course came in to the picture with the excellent reviews and the option of being completely online which enabled me to complete the course in any way I wanted.
The course is very well structured and covers the basic fundamentals. It also ensures that students are aware of the correct methodology to solving problems and how we can bucket these into various types. After a topic is covered, it has a set of relevant OG questions for the topic. This was the best approach because I was extremely confident of tackling SC questions in the scholaranium as well as the mocks I gave post completion of any SC section.
Honestly, a 110 point improvement was more than what I had expected, which was primarily due to the:
1) interactive nature of the course
2) In-depth explanations provided
3) Quality of questions
4) Flexibility of creating our own tests by
a. Level of difficulty
b. Topics, and
c. Time limits (among other things).
These were further complimented by the dashboard summary which proved to be extremely helpful to me in tracking what was pending for me to tackle.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an improvement in Verbal section (SC, CR and RC). The prethinking approach to CR questions is also quite good and ensures maximum efficiency and accuracy while solving CR questions.
