I am a non native speaker. I already got 600 score on TOEFL but can not get 50 percentile on verbal

I wonder my reading skill is weak or my vocabolary is weak

I do research and see that the GMAT passages dose not have new words which affect understanding. So, I conclude that my problem is not relevant to vocab but to reading skill

Is my conclusion correct?

Dose Any non native speaker have experience of this, Pls, give your idea, pls, help me

Hi Duongthang,
I am non native speaker, it seems the GMAT does not test your english ability, there are many words that even the native speakers don't understand, actually these words are there just to distract you, you should focus more on the structure and try to get the big picture.

"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."
