Maxprep score-590--Goal is 700+

by prachich1987 » Fri Dec 17, 2010 7:33 am
Hi guys

I am planning to take GMAT in January end
I took GMAT Maxprep yesterday & scored 590 (Q49 & V22)

I really need to work hard on verbal part.
I am done with OG.
I am not a native English speaker
I would be grateful if someone can guide me on which books should I refer taking into consideration that
1) my verbal score is low 2) & I have only a month in hand.

I am quiet sure about my quant part.
My goal is to score 700+
& I think for that I need minimum 36 in verbal
Plz advise which books should I refer to??Plz share your thoughts

Thanks!!!!

Do the OG again. Read the explanations thoroughly. Believe me, its the best book and you just cannot do enough of it.

Use the MGMAT SC guide too if you feel SC is your weak area.

Hi,

I have about the same problem as Karan. I just finished my first test and scored 570 (Q43; V25)

I definitely have to work hard on the verbal part. So, what is the OG? And how realistic is it to improve significantly in this particular area?

Cheers

If you're looking for practice material for RC, I'd suggest that you may wanna get RC99. It's probably the best book out there for practicing GMAT type passages. However, make sure that you don't do many passages from the book in a day as it is not gonna be beneficial then. Just keep doing a few passages on a daily passages . Also don't jump the difficulty level of the passages if you really want to see improvement. Start with the passages from the low difficulty category and then you can move on to medium and high difficulty level pasages. If you prepare systematically, I think you should be able to nail RCs.
