E-GMAT Verbal Course Review

I started my gmat preparation by solving questions from the official guide and from GMAT club . The questions were very useful for practice but the often contrasting views on a topic on the common forum caused confusion in understanding of concepts.To avoid this confusion, I decided to enroll for an online course which would help me be clear with different concepts. After some search on the web and speaking with some friends I decided to enroll for the egmat online course for 2 months.

Over the 2 months I accessed only the verbal section and mainly SC and RC as these two topics were my weak areas. The course on both these topics was highly structured and detailed. The practice questions at the end of each concept helped me gain a better understanding of each concept.

The course on SC helped me understand all the different grammer rules. After completing the course I could see significant improvements in topics such as modifiers, parallelism and comparisons. The course also gave a thorough demonstration of the method to be used to arrive at the correct answer while solving questions. This structured methodology was of great help in answering questions on the actual exam.

The course on RC, as the SC course was also very detailed and structured. The reading strategies provided were very useful in understanding how to gain proper understanding of any passage in minimum time. The insights provided on the way to approach a main point and inference question were very useful in solving questions and helped me increase my accuracy in these questions.

Post completion of the theory I began solving questions on the scholaranium section of the course. During this phase I solved a lot of questions through the cementing quizzes on each of the 3 verbal topics. The scholaranium provided me access to lot of questions where I could apply the concepts learned during the course. In addition to providing questions, the detailed solutions of the questions also helped me improve my question solving ability. After I solved some questions on the cementing quizzes I moved to giving the movk tests. Initially I struggled to solve the questions within the stipulated time as I was taking time to adjust to applying a different process of question solving. However, as I kept practicing questions I became better and was able to solve the questions within the stipulated time with a good accuracy. Consequently, my mock score also increased upto 740. Another good feature of the scholaranium was the fact that question used to get added after completion of a mock test. This ensured that I always had sufficient questions for practice. Also the analytics section in the scholaronium section helped me understand my accuracy in different type of questions and gave me an understanding on the topics on which I was supposed to work.

After i felt confident to give the gmat I booked a slot for the exam. I ended up getting a score of 760 with a 41 in the verbal section. The egmat course on SC and RC played an important role in helping me achieve this score.

Overall I would recommend the egmat verbal course for anyone looking for a structured and detailed way of learning. An important point in getting maximum advantage from the course is consistent practive. Consistent practice is very important if one has to gain expertise in solving questions.
