Hello everyone,
I have taken the GMAT 5 times now. It feels exhausted for not getting the desired score. The following are the GMAT scores:-
GMAT 1 - 450 Last year March
GMAT 2-590 Q 42 V 30 Last year November
GMAT 3-480 Q 36 V 24 This year April
GMAT 4-530 Q 29 V 25 This year May
GMAT 5-580 Q 44 V 26 This year June
After the 5th test I just wanted to jump from the test center because I was devastated by my verbal performance. I have had too many worse feelings after the tests because all I wanted was a score of 630 and nothin more. The following are the materials I used:-
OG 11
OG Math
OG Verbal(Partly)
Kaplan Comprehensive
Princeton review
Kaplan 800
Manhattan GMAT-Geometry
Manhattan GMAT SC,RC and CR.
I followed the manhattan techniques of diagramming for CR and the RC techniques of manhattan for the 4th and 5th test. Diagramming did not help me much and consumed a lot of time. I did ok on the SC as well.
I need real help on how I can increase my verbal score. I have an admit for the MBA program at Pepperdine University but because I dont have a strong GMAT score I did not get any scholarships. So I have decided to defer my admission for next year and write the GMAT one last time in December this year. It may sound funny but my target score is a 700 and I would not settle for anything less.
So, all said I have 6 months now and I need strong strategies for attacking the verbal section and some help on the math section as well.
Please help me guys..
I have the old MGMAT CR SC and RC guides. The CR techniques just dint work for me. Should I buy the new MGMAT SC RC and SC guides to improve my on my verbal. Please guys give me your suggestions on how I can improve my Verbal score. I have 5 months left and its really serious this time. Please share your thoughts.

..so m sure anyone can do it....Cr is tricky but rather than wastin much time on diagramatic techniques I believe its much better if u can try understandin the CR arguments or asumptions and try analysing it in ur own way... the best approach for RC is break the passage for urself.....while reading the passage;conclude each paragraph's meanin in ur mind and try linkin each paragraph's conclusion with one another....as u wil definitely get the question on it...try to make note of important words in whole passage like some complicated word used or anyword used in quotes...if not much;just write down the line no. of that word in ur notes.....it might help u when u go through the questions....i hope it helps...even m not the perfect..me too tryin to improve..
