Hello, I've followed this forum for my entire studying period for additional help. Today was my exam day and I fell really short of my goal. I am trying to obtain a 620, that is all I need for my specific program. I scored in the 63rd percentile in the quantitative section but a terrible 30th percentile in the verbal section. I did wrong by taking advice from people saying that "if english is your native language then you won't need to study it much" Oh how they were wrong. I put most of my effort and time in the quantitative section because I though it would be the hardest of the two. I have booked my 2nd attempt for next month and I needed some suggestion as far as studying material that will help me improve my verbal score. My deadline for my application is June 1st and my test is May 28th, so this is my last chance.
Please Help
Thanks

Mike
