I dont think many people can help you there. GMAC uses an algorithm for converting your performance into a score. Since no one knows how this algorithm works it would be very difficult to make an estimate on how much you need to score in verbal. It is obvious that if you score only 20 percentile in quant then you need to score much better in verbal to get to 520, how much better is something unfortunately I (and I am guessing most people) wont be able to tell you.

based on my old scores when i first started studying for this demon, i believe you would have to hit atleast the 70th percentile in verbal.
