Getting really frustrated with Verbal section

Expert replies

Hey everyone.

If anyone would be able to give some input that would be awesome. So I started out a couple months ago with a 35 on my verbal diagnostic. Seeing that, I figured I could leave verbal till about a month before to get it up to a 40-42, since I am seeing people go from 20's to 40's, I thought it wouldn't be an issue. However, I seem to be stuck at the same score, 35 and its driving me crazy.

For RC and CR- I usually get maybe one or 2 wrong. It all depends on the questions and passages. Sometimes I get lucky and their history and science based, which I can do. However, if I get one on economic theory, those are harder for me. But I don't think I can really improve that much in that area. RC is forsure stronger than CR, so I am starting to practice CR lightly.

For SC- this is my weak spot. I got 6 wrong alone from this section on my diagnostic. I have been studying now for 3 weeks SC and I am seeing very little improvement. My accuracy is about 70 percent. I know everyone says use the manhattan gmat SC but it is to technical for me and I think it'll be counterproductive in my situation.

I'm not sure exactly how to attack this and my test is in a few weeks. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Can I assume that you are an English native speaker and in engineering field rather than financial sector ?
As a non-native speaker, I find it hardest at RC because some topics I can't even comprehend it. But you have a good start with RC. It's your forte & keep making it works for you.
For SC, I think it's the easest part of the GMAT. Manhattan SC is the most powerful book you could look into and you could also find difficult questions in this helpful forum.
If you could spend 3-4 hours a day studying SC, for around 2 weeks, I could assure you see significant improvement of your SC.
Hope it could help!

Hi- I am a native speaker and thank you for your help. I have been practicing a lot and will continue to do so. Hopefully I will see results when test day comes.
