Need help to improve Verbal Score

Expert replies
by shalzz9 » Wed May 19, 2010 3:30 am
My CR and RC were pretty good when i started studying GMAT
but my hit rate is low now in these two sections.

I have done most of the major books, like OG, Manhattan series, Kaplan 800 and some LSAT qns too.

I have been taking Cats and here are my scores

GMAT Prep 1 - 660 V37 Q44
MGMAT Cat 1 - 670 V36 Q45
MGAMT Cat 2 - 680 V38 Q44
MGMAT Cat 3 - 650 V35 Q44

I am trying to work both on quants and verbal
Though i feel i have reached my max in quants and i really want to improve my verbal score.
Im trying to target 700+ . (I have about 2 whole weeks time left )

My questions is, since i have already done most of the material i have, Would doing OG - CR and RC alone Suffuse to increase my verbal score ?? I do know that OG qns are usually easier than the actual gmat 700 + qns.
At this point should i try to do tougher RC n CR or Just do OG qns and strengthen my basics ??

Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

I find this thread at the following link :
https://www.beatthegmat.com/improving-ve ... 22857.html
The advices are also true for native speakers.
V35 - V37, it is not that bad, I think is around 75-80% percentile, of course you can do better but see if it is not better and easier for you to excel in your main strength math to get around 48-50 because you still have many room of improvement for this section, and if you target 700+, V36 may be enough coupled with a good Math score.
I think you focus on hard materials, which can sometimes not be relevant for your GMAT preparation. you can gain a lot in focusing on the Official Guide to build and consolidate your foundations (hit around 95% on these materials before moving on tough materials such as LSAT and Kaplan)

Thanks for the link and your insight akondakar

I think i will do OG again and brush up my skills and see if it helps and then move on to tougher material.
