Hi !
I have devoted a entire week for verbal Preparation. I have the Manhattan SC, RC and CR books and the power score CR bible. Can some one please suggest how to divide the 7 days between the 3 verbal topics. I find RC and SC the toughest and fare slightly better on CR .
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks !!

Seven days is quite a short time to master all the subjects from the Verbal section. My suggestion is to work a bit on each of the main parts of the verbal and not to concentrate on just one of them on a given day. This way you will be less tired and fed up with only one type of questions.

Agreed, 7 days is not a lot of time. The human brain can really only learn about 2 hours worth of material at a time before neurons are overloaded. If you're planning on doing 8-hr cramming sessions each day, you won't retain most of what you learned. For every 2 hours of work, you should take at least 1-2 hrs break.
Instead, start by taking a practice test (if you haven't already done so). Identify 7 topics that were weak for you, that you could reinforce in 2-3 hours apiece. (So, not CR as a whole, but assumption questions within CR). Focus on improving just a few weak areas, because if you try to improve everything, you'll spread yourself too thin.
Good luck!
