Hi Everyone,
I am preparing for GMAT and having a hard time with its verbal section. So far I am using OG21 for understanding different rules and conceps but it lacks a detailed explanation. I was looking into various verbal course and I am really confused as to which should I opt, I have attended there trial classes but even after that I am not able to judge the quality and authenticity of the content. I have reviewed Magoosh (only the plan), egmat and gmatwhiz, I am really confused is to how should I decide. Earlier I had attended WIZAKO'S sentence correction lecture on YouTube and I liked there approach, but the problem is Wizako is more of quant oriented and does not have much content on verbal.
I am looking for something which is similar to WIZAKO. Please can anyone of you help me as Verbal is making me depressed and demotivated.
Thanks.

Hi muggergammy,
To start, a 580 is a solid initial CAT score (the Average Score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years). In addition, you've given yourself plenty of time before your planned April Test Date - which is great! With a Score Goal of 730+, you will have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections (and by extension, you will have to learn and practice some specific Verbal Tactics).
From what you describe, your immediate study plan is 'book heavy'; unfortunately, many Test Takers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. The OG books are great sources for practice questions, but they're not designed to teach you Tactics, patterns or the little 'secrets' behind the GMAT - for those, you'll need Course-oriented materials.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied so far? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
