..translates to a 3 point drop. I got 48 on my second attempt at Gmatprep 1 (my first attempt resulted in v47, with two mistakes).
So, getting a 51 requires a perfect score on verbal, and a single mistake drops it down to 48. Not fair.
My verbal is better than my quant.
I hate the fact that 1 single mistake in verbal

The alternative is a longer test where you do a number of questions with little or no impact on your score.Woozler wrote:..translates to a 3 point drop. I got 48 on my second attempt at Gmatprep 1 (my first attempt resulted in v47, with two mistakes).

Hey, Woozler
I think u r perfect on Verbal. Could u share some of ur experience with Verbal?
I work very hard but still feel impossible to enhance my Verbal score over 40. I always get a 34-36 on Verbal and can hardly get a 40...
sigh

I'm with rx_11 on this.
Any pointers on how to get my score up from a 34-37 to >40?
I've decided to get back to basics and brush up on my concepts, but I'm running against the GMAT test deadline here. I'm not sure whether the time spent on basics will really pay off.

46 and above is 99th percentile. The difference between a 48 and a 51 is not going to affect your chances of getting into a business school. Congratulations on a great score!
