Hello,

I took the GMAT yesterday and scored 530 (Q48/V16). I am a non-native and as you can see I am struggling with the Verbal section. My target score is 600+ , so I have to keep my Quant score and move my Verbal score to the high 20's. I definitely have to focus on Verbal.
Regarding my past studies:
I studied around 9 weeks - fulltime - 30h/week and I used only the Manhattan Books. I went through all of them (9 books) and did all the problem sets. The last 14 days before the exam, I did some real tests (GMAT Prep & Manhattan). My scores were between 520 and 600.

I am posting this, in order to get advices in terms of providing me with a 5 week-strategy (I will take the GMAT again on the 20th of May).
How can I boost my verbal score? Can you recommend any additional books or how should I proceed. I have the feeling that Sentence Correction is pretty okay, but CR/RC is really hard for me - especially under time pressure. It is hard for me to understand the arguments/text passages in the very short time frame during the GMAT.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!
