I really wanted to know how should i study now to ensure my Verbal improves.. You gave it thrice you say, did you not get pissed off.. you know i mean.. studying the same thing.. again n again.. tht frustration.. that demotivation tht sinks in at times.. how did u cope with tht??
Oh it was brutal. I hated it...
I coped with it be staying focused on the goal. Honestly, at that point it wasn't "Get into school X" the goal was "break 700." I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I wanted to prove to myself that I had the ability to get over that first hurdle in order to legitimize my chances of getting into a top program to myself. Most people take this test more then once. Don't feel defeated.
The gmat is horrible... it torture... I think I started studying for it in September of 2011, and took it for a 3rd time in February of 2012. So, around 5 or 6 months of Studying on and off... Believe me, I understand how you're feeling. Just stay focused on the goal, once you achieve the score you're trying for, it'll all be worth it.
Verbal wise, which part is the most difficult for you?
MGMAT SC guide is the best for sentence correction. For RC, I think it's all about which strategy works for you... mine was always read slowly, read once, and don’t get lost in the notes you take
There is also always this strategy but it didn't work for me... For CR, treat it like a logic problem,
here are some great tips on CR. The key is, figure out which type of problem it is... and then use common sense.
If the issue is a lack of an overall grasp of the english language, your best bet may be reading daily papers and magazines like the wall street journal, ny times, the new yorker, and business week.
