Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

As a native speaker but a child of immigrants, I struggled with any sort of verbal section found on standardized tests i.e. STAR testing and SATs. I mostly focused on my strength which was math and science which is why I'm a chemical engineer. When I started my GMAT journey, I was averaging around V27. My ego got the best of me. I was getting very frustrated because in my mind I should be getting these questions correct since I was a native speaker. I did a prep course when I first started my journey and supplemented with the PowerScore bibles. But my verbal score was not increasing. After attending a free workshop from e-GMAT I was sold on purchasing the verbal online prep because of e-GMAT techniques. I put my ego aside and it was the best decision. After completing most of the e-GMAT verbal online prep, my verbal has increased to 34. I am still not where I need to be on verbal. But after months of struggling I am finally seeing the results after using e-GMAT. Since this course is for non-speakers, e-GMAT breaks down the sentence correction to the basics. I found that the most helpful. I really like the easy to understand videos. And the new interface is great too. I am able to study on my phone during my train ride to work. If you're a native speaker and struggling, I would recommend e-GMAT.
