Verbal strategy advice needed please

by radhika88 » Wed Jul 10, 2013 11:41 am
Hello,

With roughly a week to go before the D-day, I've been attempting various practice tests. While my quant score seems to have shown a continuous improvement (41, 44, 46 on GMAT prep), my verbal score is stuck at 31/32. The result being, my overall score refuses to cross the 700 mark. I realize that verbal scores can be the real game changers here but I can't seem to get 'something' right. I feel extremely disappointed and would appreciate any quick help to push the verbal score up.

Thanks a lot guys!

hi radhika88,

Do you have time in your schedule to push your Test Date back? The type of "shift" in how you do Verbal will take more than a week to learn and incorporate consistently. If you can't push back your Test, then you should still do your best, but write back with your Scaled Scores and I'll be able to offer some insight into the categories in which you missed out on points and the work that you'll have to do to pick up those points on your next attempt.
