I have not had too many issues with quant but despite considering myself good at English, I struggled in the verbal section, which was clearly visible from my first GMAT mock test and subsequent practice tests. Everyone kept on mentioning that SC is the key to a good verbal score but I was unable to make sense of it after reading books. After reading reviews of e-gmat from gmat club members and signed up for the verbal online course. I found their approach very innovative but most importantly structured. I think that resonated with me the most. The idea of application files and concept files is also equally innovative and helps grasp the crux of the SC approach easily. With a whole host of practice sentences and their detailed analysis especially simulating a class enviroment, the mind automatically gets wired to approach SC questions. All this helped me in bringing down my timing from around 3 plus minutes to 1-1.5 mins. The other section that really helped was the CR section. The concept of prethinking seemed very obvious to me but the application was just as difficult. However, adopting the step-by-step e-gmat strategy I was able to get to a proper structured approach to CR questions. What I found excellent were the solutions to the OG questions, which I think gave me a confidence boost.

However, last but not the least, I am impressed with the scholaranium platform. I think it is a collection of really good GMAT questions and helps you guage your performance. Especially because it becomes really hard to find the right quality of questions outside the OG.

My verbal score on my mocks is now around 40 vs 33 earlier and I highly recommend e-gmat to others on the same gmat journey.
