vchirrav,
Does't your score 51 and 19 total to 57th percentile ,which is 570 instead of 590 ? Can you please confirm how did you get 590 ?

I got 43 and 20 and got 530.

Thanks.

Not to sound condescending, but have you thought about coaching. May some time in the class with a good instructor and other students might help.

If you get 51 in Q, that will take you to 590 (63%).

Dude .. I am no Verbal guru. I am myself struggling. But i followed the following and I have improved.

I hope this helps you.

First brush up the Grammar basics. Just the basics would do for start.

Read articles on McKinsey Quarterly website (free), Online Wall street Journal (free), sciam.com(free), nature.com(free) and economist.com (free). You would improve your knowledge and this will help you in your RC as well. After reading a paragraph close your eyes and say the main point of the paragraph to yourself in your own words (trust me, this helps)

Did you try Powerscore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible ? And ARCO's GMAT LSAT RC book ?

Try the retired GMAT paper tests for more official questions.

Finally , there is no alternative to practice. I recommend you to practice full length tests (AWA + Q + V). Get used to sit for 4 hours.

Hope this helps.


Thanks very much mate. I will check that and let you know incase of any query.

I agree. Try reading lot of scientific articles. I never prepared for my verbal because I read lot of scientific articles everyday. And looking at RC, I can tell a big percentage belongs to it. But instead of orginal articles read reviews. A good approach would be to go to Pubmed Central and search for only full text review articles.
