HELP! Verbal Score Improvement Needed!

by hifunda » Fri May 11, 2012 5:19 am
Please check here for my practise test progress so far: https://www.beatthegmat.com/last-2-weeks ... 1cb472a456

Took the third MGMAT practice test yesterday and am really frustrated with the results:

Score: 620 (Q41, V34)

Obviously, my Quant score has come down and I guessed on many questions to save time for later questions. This must have resulted in a string of wrong answers and pulled the score down.

I'm really at a loss of words about Verbal- I have been getting the same 34 score since my first practise test, there seems to be no improvement. Last week, I revised CR strategies which was my biggest weakness till now, thinking it will add to my score a little, but clearly I am missing something crucial in my verbal preparation. I'd like to add that I still have CR and RC questions left in the OG to complete, which I plan to complete in the next few days.

I also realize I need to more thoroughly revise the most frequently tested topics that are my weakness for Quant, And, from now on - only GMATPrep tests till test day. Enough with the Manhattan CATs...

Does anyone see something obviously wrong in my strategy that I'm somehow missing? Waiting to get some feedback.

I have less than 10 days left!
Experts please help!

Best quick shot I can give you without seeing your methods is to approach all questions with the question, "why is this answer wrong?" and then eliminate answers leaving only the least wrong...
