The Sentence correction module teaches you how to comprehend sentences based on a meaning-based approach. <strong>The most fundamental aspect of SC is to identify the intended meaning of the sentence.<\/strong> Once I knew that I was able to solve difficult level questions by applying a meaning-based approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After SC, I moved to the <strong>critical reasoning module that helped me build critical inference and assumptions through the pre-thinking approach.<\/strong> I used to struggle with critical reasoning. Before, e-GMAT course, I did not know why I got a question correct or incorrect. I lacked a basic understanding of assumptions. <strong>I focused on the assumption module<\/strong> that e-GMAT&#8217;s verbal course has, which gave me a foundation. Once I was done with the CR module, pre-thinking came instinctively to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I took the reading comprehension module, a mash-up of sentence correction and critical reasoning learnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cementing learnings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arjun:<\/strong> After learning the concepts, I:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Took custom quizzes through the e-GMAT Platform where I could filter and solve high difficulty level questions.
