hi guys
i gave my first prac test in mid dec. after finishing og11,og verbal review and og quant review and i scored 680(q49,v 36).
after that i i've done og11,og verbal review, og quant review,kaplan800(twice), mh's SC guide and some chapters of power score CR bible.
and my accuracy in og was also good.( in math 96-97%,DS-above 90%,CR-approx 90%,RC-approx-85% ,SC-approx 85%)
but my score on yesterday's prac test was 670(q-49 and v-31).

What question type are you missing the most in verbal?

in quant 10questions were wrong out of which 8 are from data sufficiency and in verbal 12 question were wrong (5 SC,4RC,3CR)

Ok. You need to focus on SC. Go through the MGMAT guide again. This time make flash cards and memorize important details. Also, pay attention to the specific question type that you're missing. Was it a modifier question, was it a parallelism question. You need to know your specific weaknesses. Good luck.

thanks dude

one more thing... i was not in touch with books from last 10 days . i guess that may be the one reason of my low score so i'm planning to do OG12 and after that 4 kaplan tests and then both prac test(twice) in next 15 days .

is this right approach or should i proceed in other way ???

and in SC, my weak areas are verbs and rhetorical construction ... what should i do for these two??
