GMAT Score of 650 Need help to improve

by amimukhe » Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:33 am
Hi,

I took the GMAT a month back and scored 650(Q-47, V-32, AWA-5.5). I want to improve my score and have planned to attempt the test again in May. During the preparation for my first attempt I was performing well in practice tests and was scoring 50-51 in quants, but on the test day due to lots of questions from inequality and probability sections my quants score slipped to 47(the lowest I ever got).
Verbal score was as expected. But, now I really want to improve my verbal section to get a 700+ and am requesting help to do so. All sections are my trouble area but RC is where it hurts the most. In my recent practice sets also I am not performing quite upto the mark in RC. I get only 50% correct most of the times. Please help me with how to increase the verbal section score and especially RC section. I am already doing lot of non-fictional reading to help me but with not much success.

Regards,
Amit
