Srihari -- We'll need to bring that verbal score up... that's going to be a red-flag in your application. I'd encourage you to try to take at least one or two good practice exams and read Stacey's article -- https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2011/02/ ... sts-part-1 -- and use that as a way to more specifically focus on the places that are giving you the most challenge on the exam.

Quick follow-up question -- is English your first language?

Thanks.

-Brian
