I have 3 weeks left, any strategies

by moadhia » Mon Apr 06, 2009 12:04 pm
So I have been preparing for the GMAT since Jan... I basically took a couple of weeks off in Feb & March and now I am back to studying and feeling recharged. My exam is in another 3 weeks

My verbal is stuck in the 34- 36 range. How can I effectively bring that up? I am consistently making errors in SC (getting 5 out of 17 wrong). The thing with RCs and CRs is that when I do well on one of them , getting 90% of them correct, I mess up the other one.

what should my strategy be to counter this ? I want to bring my verbal close to 40 :)

gmatprep1 (4jan) 600 (Q49 v25)
manhattan cat 1 (16 feb) 630 (Q45, V32)
manhattan cat 2 (3 march) 670 (Q46 V36)
powerprep1 (15 march) 750 (Q51 V39)
gmat prep 1 (6 april) 700 (Q50 V35)

I have used the 3 OG books, manhattan Sc and kaplan 800. I am currently redoing 60% of the Sc and Cr questions from OG

I think u should get the Manhattan or Power score CR book and Manhattans RC and KAPLANS VERBAL WORKBOOK book ASAP and with some dedicated studying and lots of GMAT CAT practice you should be able to get around 41+ because ur already around 36ish
