Hello Friends,
I have been preparing for gmat for the last 2 months now.

Yesterday i took GmatPrep1 and scored 570(Q 47, V 21).
verbal analysis:
SC: 8 out of 17 correct.
RC: 8 out of 13 correct.
CR: 7 out of 11 correct.

while practicing SC from OG12 my accuracy was not that bad but in test i almost screwed it.

I am not able to plan out my preparation now.
Friends please suggest how to proceed further to reach 700+.

This is what i studied till now:
Quant: kaplan maths workbook and OG12
Verbal: Manhattan SC, PowerScore CR, SC and CR from OG12.
So far i have not touched RC.

I would suggest getting the MGMAT book on SC.. I am a native english speaker so I was arrogant when it came to verbal... then scored a V23 on my 1st mock CAT...

I hit up the SC guide and it actually increased my accuracy from 5/15 to about 11/15. That alone will increase your overall score to above 600. Your Q is pretty good (GREAT for a guy like me) so really hit up that verbal. Improving your V score to a 33 is very obtainable and combining that with your Q47, you'll get a 660 atleast. I am now at 33V but can still improve come test day.
