getting a better verbal score

I have been studying for awhile and i noticed that i am better in math than writing. I took three practice test, the first with kaplan, the second one with princeton review, and the third one with the gmat site. I got a 550 the first time, 390 the second time and 380 the third time. I am really disheartened as i started off well and then i did bad. I really increased my math score but my verbal section was bad. After taking the first test my verbal and math were the same and i thought i'd focus on math but that was the wrong strategy. I am increasing my score on the math everytime but the verbal is really hard for me. I get tired towards the end and I can't put in the same focus. People are telling me that i need to focus on theory and basic concepts for the verbal section. I just bought the verbal prep test for the manhattan gmat book so I am going to use that to help me but are there any other techniques i can use?

Hi there,

Yes, you'll definitely need to start with the basics. I'd buy the Official Guide, then move on to the MGMAT Sentence Correction book, and Powerscore CR. If you really study the Verbal questions in those three, there's no way your score CAN'T go up!

For RC, read and listen to high-quality English publications. My recommendations include The New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or any scholarly journal that you find interesting. Listen to NPR or audio books of English-language classics. Set a regular schedule for your reading and stick to it. Practice a good strategy that helps you attack the passages and do it for a minimum of 20 minutes every day to conquer Reading Comprehension.

Good luck!
