Hi all,
I am looking to enroll for Knewton and was looking for opinion on the verbal section of knewton as it is my weakness. I scored 29 and 31 in verbal on my two GMAT attempts. Will this be helpful?

Hi Ali,
I think Knewton will absolutely help you with your verbal score. I recently completed the Knewton course and I found it to be extremely helpful in improving my score. My weakness was the quantitative section and I pulled my score up from a 38 on the diagnostic test to a 49 on my actual GMAT. But I did find the Verbal lessons extremely helpful and well organized. I even think they do a great job of making a boring subject like english grammar seem interesting and engaging and they provide you with a ton of great strategies to tackle difficult questions.
I hope this was helpful. Good luck with your test!

There is a Knewton subforum that you should visit. (it's at the top)
I'm taking the course now and it's been pretty good so far. The lessons are very clear, especially the verbal lessons.
However here are some points:
1. The math is generally easier than the math from a company like MGMAT.
2. There is a lot of HW and assessments (which is like "pre-HW"), which is good because that means more practice. However, it can be overwhelming when you're joggling a job or other school work. I've had to postpone my testing day because I'm behind since there is just so much to finish.
3. Make sure you have time. They have schedules for live classes and I suggest taking days with breaks in between (meaning not consecutive days). HW and assessments already take at least an hour plus your lessons take 3 hours. That's at least 4 hours for 1 lesson. (Not including the extra work that can be done)
Also, they give you like a year to use their materials so you can miss classes and not have to worry. Though, you'll really need to bear down if you're committed to taking the GMAT soon.
