I am also enrolled in the gmax online course.

I will appriciate any advice. I would like to take the gmats in three months. and get 670+

To get 670+ you'll need raw scores in 40s. So I would definitely prioritize verbal.

Manhattan guides are good, but don't really lay down a grammar foundation. Check out some basic English grammar books. Do you have any sense of whether you did better in reading comprehension, critical reading, or sentence correction?

A scaled score of 11 on Verbal is not impressive at all and if you wanna get around 670 , you'll need an average of 40,as pointed out by Cbenk121, on both the sections- give or take few point. Going by your Verbal score, I think that you're a)not very familiar with the English language b) not been much into the habit of reading . I think it'd be better to firstly build up your foundation and then work upwards. You may wanna go through the basics of grammar,and then start with the MGMAT Guides. Also I highly suggest that you get into the habit of reading. Read as much as possible and as diverse material as possible.

Thank you. The reading comprehension was the most difficult. I bought the kaplan Verbal Foundation book i am going to do. I also enrolled in the gmax online course.
