Hi,

I appeared for GMAT sometime in year 2005 but got very poor score of 480 (Verbal-14, & Quant-44). I think I did not do any analysis of my week area in Verbal specially, SC & RC and just appeared for the exam.

I am again appearing for the exam sometime in Nov. I come from software background with around 13 year of industry experience. I am targetting somewhere between 650 to 680. I feel I can improve my qant to somewhere around 47, but I am having trouble in increasing my accuracy in SC and RC that is around (using 11th edition) 65%. My CR accuracy is 80+.

Now my question is.

1. Is there any specific strategy, which can be used for SC & RC?

2. What accuracy level in RC & SC you need to touch 37 or 38 in verbal. (based on your experiences)

Regards,
Raj

Hi,

To improve SC, order MGMAT SC book and read it all from first page to last page without skipping any strategy. Its really good book.

For RC, there is really not any typical suggestions that fits all but the best thing to do it is to practice, practice, practice and more practice.

For SC also download spidey notes from:

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
