720-770 thanks to Dave Goldstein

I took a lesson with Dave Goldstein after I studied for a month and got a 720 on the official exam. My main issue was verbal and I had a non-native background with very limited proper English grammar education and I never read fiction books (though I picked up the professional usage of English on the job over ~4 years). I initially just used the MGMAT book, but after a month, I can feel that my progress was slowing down, the mere increase of familirty with question types no longer helps. That's where David came in, the most helpful thing in retrospect is that he instilled the correct way of practicing and pace of solving problems upon me. On the CR and RC sections, the sequence of reading articles, noting down key themes and answering questions, as well as practicing using more than a dozen LSAT test really helped me to be more comfortable on the exam. As we monitor the correct rate on the LSAT, the number just goes up over the course of a month. I think practicing is necessary, but to have someone where to pointing out exactly what you are doing wrong is incredibly efficient and allowed me to finish the whole GMAT workstream within two month (including one month with David), and save time for other improvements in my Bschool application. I highly recommend working with Dave if you are ready to follow his procedure and doing a lot of practice questions. In the end, you will gain a very systematic approach to verbal questions and confidence steamed from seeing your improvements week over week.
