Hello BTG community

I have preparing for the GMAT for around 8 month now and I still feel that I can't improve my verbal at all.
I took the GMAT tutor course and I was planning to do exam on mid of FEB but I noticed that I did't improve much in Verbal, So I stated preparing for verbal on my own tried almost all the books in the market and started reading the economist to improve my reading and vocabulary. But still I'm very bad

my weakest point I think is the RC. I'm not that bad in SC and CR while studying but in the practice exam I think I have time problems

below are my scores

GMAT Tutor #1 17 Jan 2013 510 Q36 V26
GMAT Tutor #2 24 Jan 2013 440 Q29 V23
GMAT Tutor #3 01 Feb 2013 510 Q46 V16

Then I took Kaplan test

I scored 600 & 620 with Q48. (don't know why I cant see the test review on Kaplan website )


Any advice for me ?

Well, I can understand your problem. For RC, I recommend you reading the question prior reading the text. In this way, you can easily keep the questions in mind as you read the text for the first time. It can save you lots of valuable time in not having to re-read the text multiple times. I hope this strategy will help a bit.

Hi Kassim,

Before offering additional advice, can you provide some additional information on:

1) What is your scoring goal?
2) Where do you want to apply to school?
3) What kind of deadline(s), if any, are you on?
