I was struggling with GMAT verbal section when I started preparing for the GMAT. I began with V30 in mock tests. To improve my score, I studied hard and practiced random assorted verbal questions. I took two actual attempts and even after studying this hard, my best was V32.

Quite naturally I was distraught. I wasn't able to understand what was going wrong, I wasn't able to differentiate efficiently between two or three tough choices. Two of my friends separately then recommended E GMAT to me. I decided to give their Verbal course a try.

First things first, they changed my approach towards the test itself. It helped me immensely in formulating my study plan and testing strategy. Proceeding ahead, I started with absolute basics in verbal. Once I got the fundamentals clear, I learned the meaning-based strategy and that helped me eliminate the wrong answer choices based on more subtle meaning differences. Those lessons and the practice quizzes proved really valuable.

Once I got the hang of all the concepts, I practiced questions in Scholaranium of all difficulty levels. Overall I found it very challenging, but the more you bleed in preparation, the less you bleed in battle. I improved my timing in Scholaranium by roughly 10 seconds per question, which had a huge impact on my ability to finish all the questions in time in the actual test.

Overall I would highly recommend the Verbal course of E GMAT very highly, especially for non-native English speakers. All the best with your preparations.
