Hi Kannu25,

To score well in verbal your vocabulary has to be strong.It would be best if you start reading articles, science journals , business tabloids and read them online and figure out for yourself if you can understand the language and the main idea present in the passage. This would be a better way to tackle vocabulary on the GMAT. Idioms have been posted on this forum , do have a look at them.

For CR, you need to understand & gauge what question types you are getting wrong most frequently. Then, you can work on & practice the question types you are facing problems with.If you are targeting to score high in Verbal, it is important that you get to the Verbal section stress free. So, make sure that you don't carry the stress & pressure of the previous sections to the Verbal section.

You can refer to the Official Guide Verbal Review for your practice.You can purchase the Question Pack, which will provide you with new questions and increased computer-based functionality.To crack GMAT, you also need to buy strategy guides if you don't have one.

Hope this helps.Good Luck

Thank you the list, though it hasn't been updated in some time, it still looks pretty relevant.

I have read many of the reviews, but I can't see to decide which prep course to move forward with.
My main weakness is the verbal section and I am leaning with e-GMAT because it seems to make the basic concepts simple.
Does anyone have any experience or recommendation on my situation?

Also, it seems as the Knewton program has been shut down since 2014. I feel like maybe it's just me since it says the front page was last updated in October 2015.

Hi Kurai,

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different options. Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

If you have any additional question, then just let me know.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Never take Byjus for Gmat!!!
I enrolled for Byju’s GMAT program for INR 25,000 . My overall experience was very bad. Please read this, before you go for Byju’s for GMAT. Find below the details:

You will be provided with pre-recorded videos in tablet or SD card. The delivery was quick. They delivered the product to you in 7 working days as promised. Along with the pre-recorded videos, you will be asked to attend online webinar. Ideally we have to attend the webinar after we have learned the basics of that particular topic from the tablet.

The theory given in the tablet is good. But lot of practice questions given in the tablet are incorrect. The questions are very difficult and solution does not make any sense. At the end, it is very difficult to consume the entire material.

Lets come to worst part. The online webinars. I found that the faculty are teaching wrong concepts of Sentence correction in online webinar. I was shocked. I complained to Byju’s and they assured that faculty will be changed but in my next webinar, i found the same faculty. Also, she was a very bad speaker. Let me give you an example:

Imagine a SC question with 5 choices and C be the correct answer. Her response was

Read option A

“So here A is clearly wrong, Ok.”

Read option B

“B is clearly wrong Ok”

“Similarly D and E are wrong, So c is the answer”

I have mail chains of me complaining repeatedly to Byju’s about the tablet questions to be incorrect, online bad faculty. But it was of no use. They never gave me a proper reply and nothing was done about it. Also, when i asked i can come down to the center for doubt clarification, they simply said no to the same.

One more thing with Byjus, they never keep a log. If you are complaining about something, the next time you call, you have to explain everything again as if you are telling them the first time.

Just for credibility to this post. I was actual byju’s student.

Thanks for your feedback! I see they have an app to study and practice. Can you just take the course on your own device or so you actually have to buy another tablet?

No bb, Byju's only offers TABLET and that too for a particular duration depending on the charge and to keep the tablet for further use, student has to pay more. We CANNOT see or use the data on computer but JUST use the tablet - to see videos, to read from pdfs and to give CATs. And yes when you return the tablet again pay for courier service - In this amount, we can buy veritas or gmatclub CATs :-D

Note: Every aspirant should first research a lot and then opt for a course depending on the needs. Money is just one aspect but researching before buying/using a course helps you save TIME, save you from learning something that is not tested and most importantly save you from developing bad habits and processes of doing questions.

Interesting - just saw an article about Byju's - they are definitely painting a very different picture in the press:

I am planning to take up my GMAT. But I am very new and I have never taken it before. I have 12 years of experience and am based out of India. Can you please suggest me the best GMAT coaching institute where they provide virtual online classes? What do you suggest about TPU?

Thanks
Sushmita

Are we going to get any additional discounts than what is posted in their websites by using gmatclub deals? Because I was checking price of magoosh, I think the offer given in their website is same as the one mentioned in gmatclub deals.
