Hi

It happens. But let me tell you that it is going to be better.

What were your previous score?
Which part of verbal kills you?
What is your background?
What were the materials you have been reading?

For one, make sure you are reading all passages carefully, not just skimming for the correct answer. Some answer choices are specifically constructed to attract people who skim.

I worked with a student who got a big jump in his RC accuracy by first reading the first and last sentence of each paragraph, then reading the passage carefully. Try that and see if it helps!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
