Hello everybody,
I am currently preparing for my GMAT.
So far, I've taken three practice tests with an average of 650 (Quant avg 42.7; Verbal avg. 37.3). When creating my study plan I found a website (GMATpill; doesn't seem to be really reliable, though) that states that the verbal part has a higher relative importance than the quant part because on average people perform better in the quant part. According to this site, you should spend more time improving your verbal score because e.g. q40 v45 results in a higher score than q45 v40.
What do you guys think? Is this statement true? Assuming the speed at which I improve in both sections is the same (e.g. 10 points improvement per X hours preparation), should I really spend the majority of my time preparing for the verbal part?
Thanks a lot for your insights.
