I've taken the GMATPrep tests 4 times. The first 2 times I got 48-49 in verbal, and 34, 39 in quant. The last 2 times I took the tests, I got 44 and 49 in quant, but 39 and 37 in verbal. Obviously I'm very happy about the improvement in quant, but why is my verbal score declining? I took all 4 tests within 10 days.

if you are getting same question then you should concentrate more
but whats my observation you get some different qquestion every time
so may be when you are getting common question irrespective of quant or verbal you are doing good and in new question you are getting wrong no need to worry this thing happens just carry on learning whatever new problem you are getting

Ideation without execution is delusion

Whoa- that's a massive drop on the verbal section... Did you take the tests under the same conditions? If you saw some of the same questions on the math section this will obviously inflate your score, but that usually only happens a couple times... As for the verbal section- what are your break downs, that is, how many of each type of question did you miss? Maybe you had some hidden weak areas that the first two tests didn't touch (although I don't think it should make a 10 point difference)

"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."
