Verbal Score

by ottvdiesel » Tue Jul 17, 2012 12:12 pm
Hi Brent,

I have done all the verbal practice questions and read all the rules in the OG12, yet my verbal score has been consistently low (between 16 to 20). I am a non-native English speaker, and I'm not sure what else I can do to improve my verbal score. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

The Official Guides are great for practice questions, but they're not really designed to be the final word on GMAT prep instruction. It sounds like you need more instruction, and there are plenty of companies on this site that can help.

Cheers,
