I just took the GMAT for the 2nd time and, once again, I did not do as well on the Verbal as I thought I would. The first attempt I scored a 32 in Verbal and I just got a 35 Verbal score this past weekend. It is perplexing to me because I scored well over 40+ on all of my practice CATs (Manhattan and GMAC). It seems like the sentence correction questions on these practice tests are different than those on the actual exam. Has anyone else noticed this? What are the best resources for SC practice?

Are you sure that your score is lower because the questions appear to be different? How many simulation tests did you take before going to the exam? Were you relaxed? Weren't you distracted by anything?

"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."
