I just took my GMAT. It was my second attempt from 580 (Q 44, V27) to 630 (V49, Q28).

I have no doubt I dont need any improvement on Quantitative, however my Verbal skills seem weak for the GMAT.

I went through all Manhattan GMAT Verbal Books (RC, SC and CR), Kaplan 800 and Cracking the Gmat.

My verbal skills varied from 33 to 37 on my Manhattan GMAT CATs and I was pretty confident.

During my both exams I had a very hard time choosing the correct answer for Verbal. I was always between 2 and in some cases 3 answers, specially on SC.

Can anyone recommend me books with good verbal exercises ?

I already did OG13, and OG Review exercises. I also did all the exercises of Cracking The GMAT and Kaplan 800.

Thanks!!

Before you go through more books, I would recommend going through each of the answer explanations in the OG they are very helpful. Create a list of rules that are used and use google to find things that you do not understand.
