Poor Verbal score in the MBAPrep practice test

[rohitgmat]

Hi All,

Today I took my first MBAPrep software practice test and it was on a horrible side for me, My overall score was 500(4 IR, 43 quant, 17 verbal). I am studying for past one month and I just concentrated on the quant skills and my score shows that. I see a scope of improving the score in quant but the verbal is a real challenge for me, as I have to go a long way from 17 to 40/43. My target score is around 730-740.

Thanks
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

I offered some general suggestions in your other post.

For your specific Verbal studies, here are some suggestions:

1) SCs usually represent the largest number of Verbal questions in that section of the GMAT, so you have to make sure you know the major GMAT grammar rules that are tested. Some of this comes down to repetitions and memorization, the rest comes down to building a "library" of the patterns that the GMAT uses to test these various rules, so that you can spot the correct answers faster.

2) RC and CR prompts require notes. DO NOT try to answer these questions in your head. DO NOT run to the answers and pick the one that "sounds best." Learning to predict the correct answer before you look at the options will help you to speed up and increase your score.
