Dear
blackpanther2015,
I'm happy to respond.
My friend, my question for you is: how badly to you want excellence? Would it merely be convenient and enjoyable, or do you hunger for it? If you don't hunger for excellence, you won't achieve it. You need to be passionate about improving yourself. As is typical, making the biggest improvement often involves diving into what is most difficult for you, least enjoyable, most challenging. In your case, you are "
not a fan of book reading." Here's the hard medicine. You can make tremendous improvements in your GMAT Verbal, but you must READ for an hour a day every single day. You must absolutely force yourself to read all the time, to build your verbal skills. See this blog:
