Hello folks,
I am new to this forum and I am looking for your help regarding the GMAT exam. I took GMAT on 24th September 2013 and scored 530 (V19/Q45). I need some serious work on verbal as you can see it from my score. Now, I plan to retake, and I need some help from the experts related to the strategy I should adopt. I was going through some courses available online and I came across
e-GMAT. The reviews are pretty good for this course but I am confused between the verbal live prep and verbal online course. Please suggest me which course should I go for. I intend to study for a month before my next attempt.
Thank You

The biggest thing that will help you develop your GMAT verbal skills is:
READ. Read every day, at least a hour a day, over and above any GMAT preparations. Read hard, challenging material in English. Read sources such as the
New York Times, the
Wall Street Journal, and
the Economist Magazine. Here are some more suggestions:
