I need Help with GMAT Preparation!

by Jim Sands » Tue May 04, 2010 8:52 am
I have registered for the GMAT on May 18th. I am not sure if i can reach my target score of 650 because my practice tests are giving very low scores. I need help on how to go about from this stage. I took the GMAT already once before 2 years and got 380 only. I started again before 3 months. These are the scores that i got on the various tests that i took :

Kaplan 1 : 470 ( Math : 34 , Verbal : 16 )
GMAT Prep 1 : 530 ( Math : 47 , Verbal : 18 )
Kaplan 2 : 600 ( Math : 40 , Verbal : 28 )
GMAT Prep 2 : 420 ( Math : 34 , Verbal : 16 )

There is no consistency in my score, that worries me. I have done the OG 12 once and the Kaplan Book once. Reviewed my mistakes also. My scores indicate that i am weak in verbal. I need help on what i should do for better verbal score. Please help me out.

Thanks,
Jim Sands

Yes i can. How many weeks beyond May 18th is it advisable to postpone? What steps should i take to improve verbal?
