well ur GMAT level is ur GMAT prep score....invariably, its + or - 20 points...

Hi there,

In answer to your question, you are not there yet, I would not feel comfortable saying that you can achieve the 710 (although is is possible, your scores suggest a bit lower than the 710). Mostly it is because of the distribution of the score. While the quant is great the verbal is stuck at that 30 mark which tells me that you are having trouble probably not with the basic Verbal aspects and easier question types but the more medium to advanced topics including in the SC (for example perhaps you do not see ambiguities, changes of meaning, or altered sentence structure questions well). It could even have to do with your reading and CR skills. If you have trouble with reading skills, then this can easily translate to trouble with CR skills as well.

It would be interesting to know how you scored in all areas in the Verbal. This needs to be done so that the particular area(s) can be dealt with properly. You may need an overhaul of technique or it can be simple tweaking in all 3 Verbal parts. For now, it is hard to tell with the little information made available. Especially in the Test Prep exams (but in the others as well), I suggest you do a serious analysis of where you made the mistakes and what question tyoe it was exactly. You may start to see a pattern.

Thanks Isaac and Karan.

After going through your post, I tried to analyze and investigate my mistakes further... and surprisingly, they were surely the ones more related with what you had pointed - ambiguities, clarity of meaning. I went back to basics and tried OG SC list again.

Recently I gave Manhattan CAT test 2, and scored 680 (48, 36). This time I somehow managed to cross 35 target in verbal, but still I need more improvement in CR - "Draw conclusion", "Inference" and SC "Clarity of meaning - modifiers, parallelism, pronouns".... My accuracy for SC (in this test) is about 70%, and CR is about 60% The moment, question level goes to 700-800 level, I get the question wrong

Can you suggest some reference to practice more on specific "Clarity of meaning" SC and CR?? Any tips would be helpful.

Hi All,

Can anyone suggest me any reference/ site/ books to practice CR and SC which are of 700-800 GMAT level?? I am getting questions wrong of these level. I have gone thru OG twice... but I suppose, I need some more practice.

Kindly suggest.

Hi All,
I take this opportunity to thank everyone in this forum. Today I gave GMAT and scored 700. Though its a bit less than my target score (710 - 720), but I am still content with the score.
