In my first attempt in GMAT, my weakest area was Verbal (V27) & more specifically SC.
Before the exam i completed OG 12, 13 & Verbal Review, but my accuracy remained quite low during the practice & never improved. Same thing repeated in the exam & i ended up scoring badly
After the exam i was clueless on how can i improve my score, since i have gone through Manhattan guides thoroughly, practiced from whatever resource i could find.
Through Beat the GMAT, i came to know about E-gmat Verbal Live course & teir pitch was that their course is design esp. for Non-Natives. I decided to enroll myself for the demo SC class which they were hosting, i really liked the demo class & decided to enroll for the course, as i was out of ideas on how to improve my score.
Their approach to break down the sentence in clauses & then look for the parts of sentence was very helpful & easy for me to objectively look at sentences & find the errors in them.
Further, I dont think any other course covers modifier topic in such a detailed extent as course has done. Also in course the practice question are designed along with the topic you study, with this approach the topic gets cemented with you. I liked this very much.
After spending some 35 hours on their SC module, i realized that SC is most logic based topic & can be mastered very easily. Now i feel it to be my strongest topic.
Second, I found the Reading strategies in RC module to be extremely helpful & they improve your comprehension & reading speed simultaneously.
After going through the course, i have done exceedingly well in official mocks & i hope my success in them get translated to actual exam.
I will Highly Recommend this course to Non Natives, as they gain from it immensely.
When I purchased the Verbal Live Prep course, i got the Scholaranium along with that.
Initially i thought it to be just a question bank, but when i went through the same, i have never seen anything tool more comprehensive than this.
Due to its adaptive nature, it gives an accurate score of your ability in certain topic & also points at the specific topic, which you should study again.
Further the tool is very user friendly, you can pick & choose on which topic (SC,RC, CR) you want to take a test. On how many questions you want to attempt & etc.
Once test is done, it shows, question wise relative performance against other students who have attended the test. & also compares your time taken to ansewr each question than the average time.
This tool has become indispensable to my preparation & i recommend the same highly to other students who are preparing for GMAT.
