Last-Minute Advice For Boosting Verbal

[evandrake]

I am taking the GMAT in four days, after studying for about five months. I am discouraged, because my score has dropped in recent weeks. I am shooting for higher than a 700.

I have taken 10 practice GMATs, and here are my results:

Test Date Verbal Math Total
VeritasPrep 2009-01-09 35 50 670
Thomson/ARCO 2009-02-06 36 42 650
800score 2009-02-21 41 36 640
VeritasPrep 2009-02-24 34 48 650
GMATPrep 2009-02-28 42 46 710
VeritasPrep 2009-03-03 40 50 700
800score 2009-03-05 45 30 610
Thomson/ARCO 2009-03-10 36 48 690
VeritasPrep 2009-03-20 33 52 670
VeritasPrep 2009-03-24 30 50 640

The verbal section is hurting me. It is the area that I have been studying to improve in the most. I feel a lot more confident on SC questions, but I am still not doing well enough.

Your advice for my final four days?

Not much you can do to get better with only a day or two left. Try to relax as best you can and realize that in most cases, business schools only care about your highest score so even if you don't do as well as you hope, you can retake with virtually no cost (outside of financial considerations)

Best of luck!
