GMAT Score:730
Hello guys,

I took the GMAT yesterday and scored 610 (Q 44, V 29). Would like to try once more - this was the first multiple-choice test in my life, so now I know what's that. I need something above 700.

For that time, I studied for 3 weeks, looking mostly for SC and Quant and doing timing. In GMATPrep I did the first test before study for 590, and then for 690, Verbal always near 30, no more. Apparently, SC is still bad, even I read quite a lot English texts. For the timing it was OK - I had 20 minutes extra in Verbal, and could spend 10 minutes for the last two questions in Quant.

I would deeply appreciate if some expert could tell me, how much time in my case would be necessary to improve Verbal. Quant should be improved too, but I suspect I didn't understand some word problems, so improving Verbal should help in Quant, maybe I am wrong though.

Thank you very much in advance!

I have the same problem.whatever I do, nothing helps to improve the verbal side. I get 29 or 30 in verbal always and 45 or above in quant.
