Hey,
Since this platform Gmat Club has been super beneficial to me while preparing for GMAT, it is only justified to share my journey! I hope this adds value to your journey for GMAT prep.
I am currently a final year student pursuing Computer Science and Engineering! I mention this fact as it was super hectic to manage uni and prepare for the exam at the same time. Nevertheless, it is indeed possible. During my first month of prep, I revised the basic concepts of Mathematics. It was not very hard for me as I had covered almost all the topics in high school. Also, engineering kept me in touch with mathematics!
For reference, I covered the Veritas Course Books for mathematics. By the end of the month, I easily scored around 49-50 on Quant. Verbal on the other hand was dicey for me. I had covered Manhattan course books as well as veritas and those helped a lay a strong foundation with grammatical rules and made me familiar with the question types. Unfortunately, my verbal score had a wide range, from 37/38 on a good day to 32/23 on a bad one. My confidence skyrocketed on one day and dropped on the other. It was only then that I started looking for a good verbal course. Reading the reviews on GMAT Club Forum, I thought to go with E-GMAT as it had good reviews and a 2-month flexible period, which was right what I needed. I had planned to give my GMAT in the month of March-April, but it got dragged to May due to my fluctuating verbal score.
Hands down, e-GMAT was what I needed to give me that push!
To describe e-GMAT, it had a three-step learning process.
1. Learning the concepts (Foundation Videos) Pre-thinking is a major learning concept that helped me get through the Verbal section easily.
2. Cementing ( Applying the concepts learned in the concept videos to real GMAT-like questions ). Honestly, it takes you from a beginner to an expert in that particular section. The solutions are well detailed and explained. So the major learning happens here. It was at this stage that I maintained an error log to understand and analyze the errors I was committing over and again.

3. Quizzes - A mix of questions from various blocks!
For my nerdy friends, here are statistics of Verbal: Verbal Prep

1. Completed MC, SC, CR, and RC courses

2. Solved 536 verbal questions during cementing and test readiness phases
▪ You solved 100 questions in SC – 75 for cementing and 25 for

▪ Reattempted close to 126 questions across all the sub-sections

3. Demonstrated excellence in SC as indicated by 70% accuracy in hard
questions and proficiency in CR and RC as indicated by > 60% accuracy in
hard questions

Finally, there was the last mile program which is offered by e-Gmat, in which I was contacted by E-Gmat mentors for personal guidance on how to navigate and follow the course better tailored to my needs.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with the course. I was confident of my score based on the last three mocks I gave on the platform. I ended up scoring a 41 on verbal, and 51 on quant! An overall score of 760!

PS: If you are looking to improve your verbal, you need to check out the e-GMAT course! Depending on your time and need, you can choose either a 2-month course or a 6-month course!
