I just took the GMAT but I didn't do well as I wanted to do. I performed well in Quant on test day (Q45) but I failed in verbal (V25). It seems like I am missing something critical while studying because I am putting in the time but the results aren't translating in a higher score. I went through all the OG12 problems. Below are the resources which I have used for verbal.

SC: Manhattan SC guide
RC: Manhattan RC guide
CR: Powerscore bible.

prep test Scores:
Manhattan - 540
GMAT 1st try - 530
GMAT 2nd try - 560

Please let me know how can I improve my verbal score.

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

I would consider a tutor to help you focus on your weaknesses and bring the scores up. Most people focus their study time on doing problems and checking answers. A more effective method is to spend the majority of the time reviewing questions, identifying patterns in content and sentence structure and analyzing each answer, not just the correct one, to see how the GMAT writes questions. Another effective use of study time is to create a study sheet that formalizes your approach to questions and therefore makes each question a part of a larger topic instead of something to be solved all by itelf.

Best of Luck

"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."
