What should I do?

by gmat_700 » Wed Jan 14, 2009 6:13 pm
I have been preparing for months, but I still can not improve my verbal part. I have used GMAT Manhattan, OG11th, and private tutor. However, I still score between 17 - 22 for verbal. In math section I score between 48-50 when I took GMATPrep and Manhtanttan tests.

I have lot of anxieties about this. I really do not know what to do anymore. I wanted to take the GMAT in Dec 08, then I decided to take it in first week of the year, and now I do not know when to take it. By the way, my target score is between 620 - 650.

Any recommendation?

Honestly, if your verbal score is in the 17 - 22 range, I'd recommend taking a community college class to relearn fundamentals. I find for my students that if they're consistently scoring in that range without improving, then they need to brush up on the basics before proceeding further. Starting now, I'd also recommend doing lots and lots of reading - newspapers, magazines, you name it, as part of your verbal practice.

If you're not in a huge rush, I'd hold off on taking the test for a bit. You also mentioned that you're getting exceedingly anxious - that probably doesn't bode well for your stress level when taking the test, either.

Good luck!
