Great Resource for Verbal Improvement

Improvement N/A

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

I decided to opt for a course in mid September 2021 because I realised while solving problems that my Verbal abilities needed some significant improvement. Based on GMATClub reviews, I decided to go for e-GMAT.
Their Verbal Section(Sentence Correction modules in particular) are really good. Initially when I started out, SC was my weakest area but eventually, it became one of my strongest sections in Verbal. By following the step-by-step e-GMAT process, I could effortlessly answer some of the hard SC questions.
In CR, the process of pre-thinking and breaking down the argument into fundamentals(premises and conclusions) boosted my thought process clarity and in RC, the notes on summarising paragraphs proved out to be beneficial as well.
In Quant, the hard questions in Scholaranium really test out your concepts and if someone is able to nail those, I feel he can answer just about any GMAT quant question.
The 'Skill data' feature of Scholaranium is pretty amazing as it helped me analyse my strengths and weaknesses by quantifying by abilities across each sub-topic.
I also felt that the Sigma-X mock tests are pretty good estimators of your actual ability. It's a bit on the tougher side but better have a cushion that inflate your actual level.
Finally, I think the game changer for me was the personal guidance in the LMT programme that I received from Dhananjay(DJ). I reached out to him a bit worried, one week before the test. He organised a call with me, where we discussed the areas where I was lacking and created a tailor-made plan specifically for me to follow in the last week. That really helped me a lot as I got to work on my weaknesses and give my prep that final finishing touch.
Overall, e-GMAT turned out to be a great platform for someone like me and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Dear Student,

Getting a 730 is an accomplishment very few people can talk about, welcome to a very elite success club. Your story is particularly inspiring for 2 reasons –

Reason 1 - I love your success because it is powered by your tenacity and your willingness to act on recommendations. You were not deterred by the 680 attempts, 5 days before the test. Rather, you wanted to fix the causes. We identified that stamina issues (Quant, see screenshot) and specific weaknesses in inference questions as areas of improvement (screenshot). You fixed both issues and the rest is history (Q50, V38) :)

Verbal Issues: https://success.e-gmat.com/Inference-Issues

Reason 2 - You improved your SC Ability from the 54th percentile to the 80th Percentile + in a matter of 2 months. Your concept and practice quiz scores (both close to 90%) show that you were destined for success right from the get-go and that you truly imbibed the meaning-based approach. We love students who are as diligent as you are.

However, the journey is not over. I am glad that you are working with me to improve this to a 99th percentile score and I wish you all the best for this second leg!

Dhananjay (DJ)
