So finally i took gmat and could score only 640. As i was seeing in prep CATs verbal brought the score down. Q48 , V31 and surprisingly IR was only 1. In mock tests i was getting around 4-5 in IR.

I was planning top US 50 with scholarship. I think 640 may not be able to get me into top 50 and scholarship. Also, I already have almost 11 years of experience.So i dont want to delay it any further. Can anyone suggest what should be my next step. Im ready to take gmat again but without a solid verbal strategy it wont be of any use.

Thanks

Hi rakaisraka,

First off, a 640/Q48 is a solid score (it's just shy of the 80th percentile overall), so it's certainly enough of a score to put you 'in range' of any Schools that interest you. It might not be enough to get you scholarship money (but THAT depends on the Schools and Scholarships in question).

1) How long did you study?
2) What resources have you used during your studies?
3) How were you scoring on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

Here is a prospective plan to boost verbal scores quickly:

- Make sure you're up to speed on the principles tested in Sentence Correction. Here's our free SC lesson: https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat/free-gmat-lesson/

- Do all the SC questions in the Official Guide and make sure you understand them thoroughly. Post any questions you have here.

- Read voraciously everyday for two weeks. (Anything challenging will do.) There's research suggesting that the physiology of our brains changes when we read more: https://www.theatlantic.com/education/ar ... in/282952/

- Consider incorporating some mindfulness meditation. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archi ... on/275564/

Hi,

My average score in verbal in Mocks was 33-35. Sometimes it dipped to lower 20s as well. My Quant average was 49.

Im looking for some quick help in verbal. I think i can score 49 in quant and want to score atleast 35
in verbal.
Thanks

Hi rakaisraka,

I'll be happy to offer you some advice, but I really need more information than what you've provided.

1) How long did you study?
2) What resources have you used during your studies?
3) How did you score on each of your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
4) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?

5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

1) How long did you study? - 6 months - out of which 2 months were wasted because of some health issues. SO typcally 4 complete months
2) What resources have you used during your studies? OG13 , Verbal and Quant reviews , Material provided by my coaching centre. It had mostly retired questions.
3) How did you score on each of your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? In Verbal average was 30-33. In quant 47 -49 was the range
4) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)? Most of the times i took entire CAT.

5) When are you planning to apply to Business School? Round 2 for 2016.

I have solved a number of questions , i could see that my quant improved but verbal did not. I feel that i lack the strategy for verbal. Also, initially in CATs CR used to be my strong area but in later stages it became a pain area for me. In all the Princeton CATs i scored in CR with 80% accuracy. But in later stages in official gmat prem CATs i found it hard. Looking for strategy for verbal.
Thanks
