I started my GMAT journey last year in October with a diagnostic mock on Mba.com. I managed to score a 600(Q49,V23). To be very honest i was clueless about the Verbal Section and was playing on instincts, i.e., what sounds better.
Coming from an Indian Board, I knew that Verbal will be challenging for me because I did not have much interest in reading books or writing. For the first attempt, I was of the opinion i can shoot up my score in a month with quality resources and hardcore prep. Joined GMATCLUB, the mecca of GMAT and looked through the materials. After studying like a 10th grader, i.e., completing the syllabus and doing questions, I could see how i was playing on instincts only. A month of prep and i registered for the GMAT (Huge mistake) only to find i did guess work in Verbal and ended up with a 640 (Q50,V28).
Due to Work, I took a three month gap and started preparing again. I had gone through some of the free videos of E-Gmat and during my first attempt so had made up my mind to enrol for the course. I started the course in April some time and Sentence Correction was never this easy.
I genuinely was not aware of Nouns, Pronouns, Parallelism etc. The Master Comprehension Course was a game changer. I went through their SC course meticulously and had started to see improvement in a month. My plan was to complete a module and try to filter the questions in GmatClub of that module and finish only Official Guide Questions. I was seeing the improvement. Meaning-Based Approach with crystal clear concepts, hands down, are impeccable approaches. My worst section became the Best. If you want to start from scratch in SC, E-GMAT is a no brainer. Just go for it. These institutes have done immense research and have got it into perfection. The amount charged is nowhere near to the knowledge gained.
In two months time, I registered again for the online Gmat and had a pathetic experience with some technical glitch. Registered again for an offline attempt and got a 710(Q50,V35) with a 91 Percentile in SC. Scholaranium on E-GMAT is a great place to cement your skills. The ability quizzes increases one's stamina. The analysis is on spot with insightful video explanations. Sometimes the background noise used to just reverberate in my ears while doing normal work. It became a habit to approach all the questions in a certain way.
Thankful to the E-GMAT team!
