Updates on
E-Gmat course : I have completed CR and would be completing RC pretty soon ( 1-2 hours work left).
So far my experience has been great as I could see the audio-visual tutorials and video liveon help saving the concepts in my mind. This helps the subconscious mind to filter out few choices quickly.
eg. You is right, but she are wrong... when you read this you don't have to think for the reason. I know it is a bad example
but the crux is the subconscious mind needs training.
The practise questions also does the same.
If I compare this to
powerscore CR, I would rate both A+.
Powerscore CR is a great book, but if you go for
e-gmat CR you might skip powerscore. If you have time, then don't skip powerscore as it would build strong foundation of your CR concepts when you would be working on
E-gmat CR.
Another good think about
E-gmat CR and RC is the emphasis on pre thinking. It really helps as it forces you to arrive at some situation. Even if that situation is not present in the answer choices, the pre thinking does help you to link the things.
For CR : Powerscore and
E-gmat is a good combination.
For RC:
E-gmat looks sufficient. Once you do CR the RC skills are improved too. I have done
Mgmat RC and I didnt like it.
Mgmat CR I have not done so m not so sure.
Live Addon: This is an interesting thing. The live practice in presence of peers and the teacher is a good way. Not only it helps understanding that particular question, but also it helps understanding some new relevant concepts that could be used in future questions.
So first kudos to teachers who helps students, irrespective online offline any mode.
Second kudos to
e-gmat teachers who prepare and execute the session.
Practice questions: Questions in
e-gmat were of good quality, but nothing would beat the GMAT prep and
OG questions. So one must give more emphasis on official question. Here I m drawing a clear cut line between official questions and non official questions.
Other good non official resources of CR and RC are RC99 and LSAT CR ( Gmat Centric)
I will be starting
MGMAT SC soon since I have already done that book several times for my first take and I hope it would help building strong foundation before starting the
e-gmat SC lessons.
Last tip for today : Whatever you do, even if you work for long hours - Keep yourself Healthy and Happy.
If you are not healthy or happy you would be hampering your preparation and the final outcome. Have a good diet and do not forget to move your butt even if you afford 30 mins a day. There is no way for an excuse- just compromise your facebook updates for a while. is this fb more than your dreams? If not - lets all beat this Gmat.
Good luck to all !!
