Hi, All---
Just wondering if there's anyone out there who has also experienced this. I'm a native English speaker with historically solid verbal skills (got a 700 on the verbal part of the SATs, which were taken in '98, received a 5 on the AP English exam, aced all my humanities courses in college, etc.). I (perhaps naively) believed that my verbal skills for the most part haven't been declining all these years I've been out of school because the first item I receive positive feedback on for all of my performance reviews at work has been my verbal ability.
HOWEVER, I was pretty surprised to see that after 3 months of studying for the GMAT, it appears I'm doing better in math (85%) than in verbal (80%). There's no one section in verbal that I'm doing particularly poorly in - I'm hitting 80% across the board.
Has anyone else experienced this? How can I breakthrough this 80% barrier?
Awaiting your insights....Thanks!
