Being a non-native English speaker, I found hard to improve the verbal part with the traditional books and resources. What I found really great about this course is that it really helps you understand the things you have to look at in order to answer correctly. After the course, you realise that it's not how you speak English but how you scan the sentence or passage.
Compared to other resources, it brings you step by step through the different cases and you gradually and naturally become ready to understand how the test builders think.
Highly recommended, in particular for sentence correction and critical reasoning and especially for non natives in English

The course is very well structured. You see your progresses, have intermediate questions to see if you have absorbed what you have studied, and also has every section organised by topic so that you can easily access the resource you are looking for.
It certainly requires concentration and planning, but it's full of resources that will certainly help you score a better score.
My advice is to start as soon as possible and to follow the structure as much as you can. If you fell comfortable with a certain topic, then it makes to skip some section but be sure you are not missing details that can help you save a lot of time during the exam.

I have used the scholarium almost at the end of the course and found it very useful, also much better than the official software provided by the official commission. The analysis is very deep and helps you focus on what you really have to improve. it's easy to detail. The most important factor of the gmat is dedicating time to what makes you improve, otherwise you will spend a lot of time doing something which will only improve your score by aa few points. The scholarium is the perfect tool for that and it will follow you during the course of your study.

The Verbal scholarium is a very important tool in everyone's preparation, especially for non-native English speakers. It doesn't matter your level of Englisih, what counts is the logic structure of the question you have to provide, especially for SC and CR. Scholarium, in addition to the course, is where you add value to your preparation. You can create your own test according to what you have to improve and get immediate and detailed analytics of your performance. I found a lot of value in it and I believe it was a key factor in my preparation for the gamt test

Experience during the program

I believe most of the MBA programs are similar, and everyone has its own characteristics. Haas is great for its location, connections with the Bay Area, connections with other schools at UC Berkeley, and distinctive culture based on values such as collaboration and honesty.
Classes are great too, I guess this is consistent across every business schools; there is plenty of choice for every subject, the workload is fair, and the curriculum is flexible enough to help everyone make his or her own path.
The program is also improving every year: whilst increasing the class size, it's also increasing the average gmat and the % of women/internationals, definitely helpful to maximize the learning experience.
