Need Guidance (GMAT 690)

Hi Shashank,

First off, a 690/Q50 is a great score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. You're actually remarkably close to a 700+ score right now, but retesting is likely not necessary.

Using your CAT scores (and your Official GMAT Score) as reference, your performances in the Verbal section are remarkably consistent. This means that you're consistently doing certain things correctly, while making the same consistent mistakes. Since you've been studying for 3 months, you've likely developed some 'bad habits' in how you approach the Verbal section - it's these bad habits that are keeping you from scoring well above the 700 level.

From what you've described, you appear to have taken a 'book-heavy' study approach. What 'steps' do you go through when dealing with a typical SC, RC or CR prompt?
