Have taken the GMAT once and scored a 720.
My verbal score is touching a max of 40 in my practise tests whereas my Quant is consistent at 50.
I need some help pushing it to 44 in Verbal as I am desperate to touch 760.
RC is my weakness and how many questions out of 41 should I ideally crack to get a 44 in verbal?
Thanks
Need some help in strategy

Hi hopeforharvard,
With a 720, you already have a score that's above the 90th percentile, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Thus, there's likely no reason to retest.
Since I'm assuming that you're interested in applying to some competitive programs (Harvard, among others), you might be better served putting this time and effort into working on your application(s). With these types of programs, working with an Admissions Expert is also advisable - there's a Forum full of them here:

1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on your Official GMAT?
2) Why do you think that you need to retest?

Hi hopeforharvard,
Thought I'd give you a little nudge here. As Rich alluded to, before we can advise you on how to proceed, we'll need to know a little more about how you've prepared up to this point. Looking forward to hearing your responses to Rich's questions.
Best,
Rich
