How to improve my verbal - just score 23 in real exam

Expert replies

Today I appeared the GMAT and to my surprise my score was in extreme lower side. I scored 600 , Quant - 49 and verbal - 23. It is the verbal score which took me by surprise. I knew I am pretty weak in verbal. My mock test score were all hovering around 640 to 660. Mostly I appeared MGMAT CAT tests and GMAT Prep. My quant was always between 45 - 49 and verbal I could never reach beyond 34.
I was not very confident about my verbal abilities. But 23 is way below my expectation. In the exam , I found it difficult to comprehend the CR questions quickly , as a result I had to guess a lot. Historically I never scored high in SC as well. Net net all areas in verbal , I need to re-look and prepare with strong fundamentals. I have 2 months time now , please suggest how I can improve my score in verbal. I want to be in the range of 35 - 38 and overall I want to increase my score by 60 - 70 points.

I am working full time and having nearly 13 years of experience. I want to do 1 year full time executive MBA in India and targeting 3 schools.

Two months should be enough provided you work systematically. You need to analyze your weaknesses and focus on them in the first place. Every time you do a task incorrectly, try to note down which area of language it deals with and look for this one particular language problem. That way you will know what to repeat.
You need to remember that to increase your score at this stage, what is important,is correctness. Therefore it is wiser to do a task a bit longer but correctly than to rush through questions.
Also a good idea would be to have someone that could diagnose your problems. Finally, in the last month before the exam you should do at least 2-3 tests a week just to get used to the effort of sitting the real GMAT.
