Hi,

I need some assistance about my verbal study plan for my next attempt...

My condition:
Target Score: 700+
Current GMAT Score: 660 (Q50 V29)
I've done all MGMAT preps and V score range : 37-41
GMATpreps' V score range: 37-40
Study Materials for Verbal: 1000SC, 1000CR, 3000 RC (Only GMAT parts), Princeton Verbal Workout, MGMAT SC - CR - RC, MGMAT Turbocharge your GMAT Verbal, Kaplan higher score - 800 - Verbal, MGMAT online question banks, OGs (10,11,verbal), Scoretop VIP Verbals, Powerscore CR Bible, many questions sent to forums and I've been trying to enhance my vocabulary knowledge for the last month...

I'm planning to have GMAT again in 3 months... The only questions I didn't solve are LSAT RC, CRs and some SCs (Brutal SC & GMATprep SC)... Some of my friends advise me to solve LSAT Verbals and they say that LSAT RC and CR really improve verbal skills... Your advice is very important for me about making my final attempt's study plan...

What do you think? Should I really go through LSAT materials? Or Do you advise something new that will make me have a V>37 verbal score?

Cheers,

Ozge

Hi in my previous mail I forgot to add ETS paper tests and set questions to the "Materials" part...

Are you actually planning to use ALL those materials? Wow. Methinks you might have toooooooo many. You'll fry your brain!

I would drop OG 10 (you don't need it with OG11), any Kaplan materials (Kaplan is decidedly not good for verbal), the Scoretop stuff (it's not a reputable site anyway; they post illegal materials), and probably the LSAT materials. You have plenty of GMAT materials without confusing things with LSAT materials, which are slightly different.

Don't forget to continue practicing quant stuff. If you completely neglect it, that score will go down. Seen it happen many times!!

Hi Frantastic,

Actually "study materials for verbal" is composed of materials I've studied for verbal so far...

So I've already studied those materials before my last attempt... I had enough time for that, because I have studied almost nothing for MATH...

I'm trying to enhance my vocabulary knowledge and do some RCs and CRs from LSAT... I have to do the LSAT materials, because there aren't any GMAT verbal materials that I didn't solve left... I'm planning to study OG11 and verbal before my next attempt, again... Except OGs what do you suggest most? Or what should I do to improve my Verbal skills? I need to score V>37 in my next attempt...

"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."
