Dude congrats on your score.
You deserve it and hats off to your patience. I liked the point you made about other test prep companies.
Candidates must protect them from these test prep houses, i had also fallen prey to one such company Ed roads , kolkata. Mostly all Indian test prep companies are hopeless.

Consider kudos if my post helps!!!

What was your approach for RC?


As soon as i read a paragraph i noted the gist of that para. I did the same for all the paragraphs in the RCs. At last i came up with a main idea of the passage. I did all this in 3 to 4 mins then i answered the questions.
This is how i approached RC. DO let me know if you have any questions.

According to me E-gmat approach and Grockit questions are best source.

Is e-gmat only good for SC improvement or does it help with CR and RC as well?

E-gmat is the best source for verbal, particularly for non-native speakers of english. I scored 39 in verbal only because of e-gmat verbal live prep course. E-gmat is good for SC, RC, and CR.

Hey,
Congrats on your great score. You deserve it after all the patience.
I actually just started out preparing for GMAT. And most of the people I've spoken to have advised me to join e-gmat for Verbal.
One thing i've noticed across the board is that no one seems to have a problem with Quants.
Is it that the OG for quants is more than enough to get a Q49?? Or did you refer other books to get a Q49?
And also if you don't mind, could you post the Q & V scores for your previous attempts???
Again, congrats on your score.
All the best for your future.

Vijay,

Congratulations! Your story sounds almost exactly the same as Raghu's - interesting!

Same Indian background with the same problem of taking GMAT 3 times and not getting anywhere until the 4th time.

Two different approaches - both resulted in great improvements from 570 to 710. Great story!

How many exams did you take and what were the verbal / quant splits for each mock.
