Hi Everyone,

I took GMAT in Nov,2009 and scored 670 (51Q/28-29V). At that point of time I knew my weak area were CR and RC. After the exam,I got very busy with work and never got chance to study again.

One month ago, I thought of getting into again so I started to prepare. I have worked a lot on my CR and RC, and I can see the results in CR section. Till now I have taken 3 MGCAT exams and my scores are-

640 (48Q/28V) : CR ( 10/14 ), RC ( 6/12)
720 (49Q/39V) : CR ( 9/14 ), RC ( 6/12)
680 (48Q/35V) : CR ( 10/14 ), RC ( 5/12)

I think my CR is OK now, but RC is consistently bad. Can some one suggest me some ways to improve my score in RC?

Regarding Quant section, I am not worried as I have not touched Quant section yet. I just do Quant on exam to simulate the real scenario.

Regarding SC section, I am OK in SC, as after revising my SC ( after 1st CAT), I am scoring 10-11 out 16.

Thanks,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
