Being an engineer, I desperately need a guiding hand in the verbal sections. I particularly had an issue with the grammar portion of the test. After struggling with self study books and not getting much improvement, I decided I need a prep course. I found Veritas offered a full course in the verbal section over just one weekend.

The 2 day course was intense and moved rapidly without losing anyone. My instructor, Neil Moakley, was very informative and had a knack for explaining the material. I picked up several nuggets of wisdom that allowed me to break into the 700s.

I am a non native English speaker and hence verbal is my weak area on GMAT. Hence I was looking for a course on Verbal only. I scouted for few days and then one of my friends, with similar background, suggested me to attend Veritas Prep's Verbal Focus class. I enrolled my self for the class and attended in last week of April 2010. I was expecting a group but to my surprise, it was just me and instructor! Some may say it is good opportunity for 1-on-1 but I missed the interaction, discussion about strategies, problems, solutions, etc. Instructor was ok and course books are also ok. However, I did not get what I was looking for. I completed all exercise problems after the class and still scoring very poorly on practice tests (in range of V26-V36), which is not very different from what I was scoring before attneding the class.
Personally, I did improve on timing or accuracy so I am not impressed with class overall and would not recommend.
