Disclosure: I am not boasting or lying at any point of time in the post.
So I gave GMAT exam thrice:
Last year August was my 1st date when I was scoring around 680s in practice tests.
I booked 2 dates with a gap of a month, thinking 1st time will be a GMAT experience and the exam in Sept will be the one that gets me score.
My coach was super confident about me and I gave a lot of mock tests so he gave me a thumbs up.
I got 650 (Q51, V27) and 650(Q50, V28) back to back.
Disappointed, I let R1 pass by. I then moved overseas for another Job and booked a date in December with a plan of applying for R2
I made a study plan but after studying for a week I got all busy with new job so quit preparing.
Got a call from the exam centre a day before and helpfully remembered to go write the exam. Scored a 700(Q50, V34)
I don't know what I did wrong or right but I have booked a date 1.5 months away and want to dedicate 40 days to tedious preparation.
From most of the posts I understand the e-gmat is effective. Should I take the subscription? I have all the practice questions from e-gmat
and various other sources. Should I study the theory and brush everything up or should I stick to solving questions and taking GMAT mocks
on weekends? If I should take mock tests, should I stick to just one series (I feel that questions are repeated and that I have got the answers
in my mind already from solving it last time.)
Sorry for the long post. Please give me some inputs.
I don't feel like wasting a lot of money on pointless resources.
PS: At no point of time did I practice quant or am willing to so I can dedicate all the time to verbal.

akay91 - definitely take our free trial to see whether e-GMAT courses are suitable for you. Take Verbal Live if you score improvement guarantee is important to you. We will refund your money if you dont get a V38. Overall, here is how you should approach your score improvement:
1. Get you Enhanced Score Report to understand where (SC,CR, and/or RC) you need to improve.
2. Define the extent of improvement using GMAT Planner.
3. Start with the section in which you need the most improvement. Take ability quizzes to track your improvement.
4. Use analytics to identify and work on your weakness.
Also attend the Critical reasoning webinar that we have this weekend. Please click here to register for the same.

If there is a money refund on not scoring 38 or above I will definitely consider it. I am sure, however, that there must be some TnC s for the guarantee.
If there are any such terms and conditions please let me know about it. And what kind of timeline is required to take it up and finish it.
My weekends are mostly dedicated to mock tests from various sources. So I have 2.5 hours everyday including weekends, and
July 10th will be the last day I will be writing any test/doing any practice.
July 13th is my exam date and I plan to practice AWA/IR to keep my mind tension free in the last 2-3 day.
Let me know if all of this fits the requirement and I should take the course.
Thanks,
