Hi, I have just started preparing for Gmat and regularly getting 80% correct answers in verbal section, which means out of 41 verbal questions i am getting 30-34 correct answers every time.
Please tell me is it sufficient to get 700+ score or I need to have more correct answers.

Please guide me so that I can start preparing for quantitative section also.

Thanks

Dear Pankaj,

I am not a GMAT expert, so I think you will find better insight on the exam in other sections of this website. However, the scoring on the exam is not just a function of how many you answer correctly. Questions are weighted differently depending on the difficulty.

Good luck,
Lisa
