Dear Friends

Need your help I made two attempts

21.9.2007 550 ( 51 Q and 18 V)
25.7.2011 550 ( 51 Q and 20 V)

I am not sure what went wrong with me after 20th question.i found questions level were difficult than what i was preparing in tests and practice. Although I was scoring 640 - 690 in Manhattan test series and my last gmat perp score was 710 , the test day has doomed me .Although the gmat test prep test was second time in one month time period.

Can some body suggest me a tutor on verbal who can motivate , build confidence and set some direction to master verbal.

Write now i have lost the direction and finding difficult where to start from.

I am based out of Delhi and have 3 months of time to apply my target B schools.

Expert please suggest

Hi

It would be better if you tell us your preparation material. You just described the test day stuff and practice test material.

Well I can see your Quant is quite strong so you need to focus on Verbal part for now.
SC : I would suggest Manhattan SC guides they are really Good ,if you have not gone through them earlier. Test the concepts by doing problems in OG afterwards
CR : I would recommend powerscore bible. Definitely a must have if you want to improve CR .. I went through LSAT guides chapter too but you can avoid that.
RC : Try some good passages .. OG 10 has lots of them .. try them .. I dont have any well strategy for that part

Dont loose hope you will do better in your next attempt.
I jumped to 730 from 620 in first attempt after 2-3 months of prep

"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."
