Badly Beaten by GMAT - Help

by sgofpl » Sun Mar 16, 2008 6:31 am
I got 430 (Q34 V17) yesterday. I would have settled for anything above 550 but I couldn't get my desired score. I know I can go above 40 in the Quant, but I don't know how to improve my verbal. Any help would be appreciated.

My preparation details - Studied for 2 months, in which I concentrated 6 weeks in Verbal and 2 weeks in Quant. I improved in SC but I couldn't get much handle in RC and CR.

Books:
Manhattan all books, but I didn't follow CR and RC strategy as it was taking more time for me.

I am planning to reappear after a month. Please help me.

Thanks
Suresh
