DIFFICULT-VERBAL

by neilsheth1 » Thu May 09, 2013 1:05 am
Hello

I am a non native speaker from India and I am giving my GMAT on June 20. I have just given my practice test(GMAT prep 1) in which I got a 570(Math-47,verbal-23) I am aiming for a 680+ score so that I can try for my ylp programme.(ISB)

Is it possible to accelerate my Verbal score to 40+ in a month? Has some one ever done that?I am ready to work hard but is it actually possible?

I have Manahattan Gmat SC but still the rules are too much too remember and difficult to apply.

In verbal I made errors in SC the most then RC and a question wrong in CR.

Is there a definite pattern to study SC I mean should I just read the book(MGMAT) and then start solving the questions in the text book or should I go topic wise?

I am in desperate need of an advice.
Pls also guide me that should I postpone my test also to July end as I have my final date- August 7? (YLP deadline)

I would most definitely postpone your exam. Give yourself ample time to learn all of the grammatical rules and techniques to solve other verbal questions. Your jump will be hard enough with a couple months prep, let alone just a month...
