I have gone through many posts in last one month or so but your case seems to be the closest of mine. I am also from a 'English non-native language' country so am bad at Verbal but am good at Quant. With my GMAT scheduled around 3 weeks from now my scores are also hovering around the same levels as yours initially were. The strategies you've told here are similar to ones that I've developed and are better in some cases. Will be putting them in my practice now as and when they suit me.

Your post has bolstered my confidence to gun for 720-760 level.

Have bookmarked your post!!

Now with these BIG BADGES on your chest you'll certainly land in the B-School you've wanted..Good Luck!

THANKS!
Thanks dude! You flatter me! Nevertheless, glad that I could be of help! I hope things work out well for you. Do let me know how your test goes.
