Hi Rohit,

To me, your post reads "Help! I need to improve my verbal" :-)

There is little help anyone can provide till you are able to drill down the factors why you feel the scores are stagnating. If you think you need someone to sit with you and analyze it then you should probably consider personal coaching. Else take out time from practicing more questions and invest that in looking at your past performance - what type of questions are you good at, what kind do you suck at, what patterns do you see (for example in DS do you pick C when the answer is invariably A or B?), what area do you need improvement (I am good at assumption based questions in CR but suck at inference based ones), what you feel is the pain point (In RC I am spending too much time in eliminating the wrong answer choices so am left with little time to pick the right one) etc.

Come back with some more specific questions and I am sure someone over here will be able to help you out.

I agree with Arun. You should take some time to "diagnose" the issue. I would go back through the OG and GMATPrep and re-take the Verbal questions. Do you find yourself getting the same questions wrong? Try to go through a "label" each question with the CONCEPT it's testing. For example, you might write:

SC - "Parallelism"
CR - "Assumption"
SC - "Verb Tense & Idiom"
RC - "Main Idea"

etc.

Create an Error Log of your incorrect choices. Do you see patterns in your mistakes? Is there one q-type over others that's giving you a headache?

You might also want more focused practice in each area. I suggest looking at MGMAT SC and Powerscore CR if you haven't already.

For RC, I would suggest slowing way down and taking notes on the passages, rephrasing the questions, and writing down predictions. Accept that the only way forward is to go more slowly for awhile to really break down the passages. Don't rush. Have patience and you will improve! :)
