Is Verbal not for Indians? Exam in 1 week :( [#permalink] New post   15 Nov 2014, 09:05
My Profile and History:
1st Real GMAT = 600 Q48 V25 and got an admit with some $$.
Indian IT Male, 5.5 years work experience
2nd and FINAL attempt of real GMAT in 1 week next Sunday.

Recent Practise Scores:
GMATPrep1: 630 Q49 V27
GMATPrep2: 650 Q50 V28
MGMAT 1: 630 Q42 V34(I dont trust MGMAT verbal section since its easier than real GMAT)
GMATPrep3: 640 Q49 V27

As you can see, I am stuck with Verbal at 27/28. I need to push it to 34-35 and my goal will be reached.
US people struggle with Quant and its hard for them to get 43-44 in Quant whereas Indians struggle with Verbal and gets stuck at 25-27.

I have used manhattan SC, Powerscore CR, Took a 2nd coaching from a different center this time but no improvement.
Any help guys? :(

You are not alone mate...
I have used some materials from MGMAT, MAGOOSH, and E-GMAT, but my verbal scores still vary from day to day
minimum I had - 26 yesterday, maximum I had 37 - one month ago.
I really do not know how to improve my V skills, and my GMAT is scheduled on 11/26/14 :(

Thats really sad. There should be someone somewhere in India who can actually teach us some REAL Verbal tips and where are we lacking.

Did you try e-gmat? I would recommend purchasing their SC course and reviewing that over the next week or so. It should help you add a few points to your verbal score. IMO, it's the best course out there to improve one's verbal score.
