Hi KushalDhiman,

That is a lot of improvement you are expecting and might be difficult to attain in 14 days.

If you are aiming to score in the 720+ range, I would recommend you to reschedule the test.
Talking about your preparation,

1. How long have you been studying
2. Have you gone through any study material
3. Have you completed the questions from the Official guide and the Verbal review

Your quant scores are very good. But you need considerable amount of improvement in verbal.
But the good news is that Sentence correction prep does not take much time. Just do the MGMAT SC book and solve as many questions as you can.
Then do the Aristotle CR book. Give each of these books+practice 4 days each. You should be a lot better in the V section by then. There is not much you can do about RC in such a short amount of time. But your CR prep will definitely help in RC. See how this strategy goes for you. If you don't see improvement, you should reschedule your exam!
Would really appreciate kudos

Hi Icefrog,

I am really looking forward to study according to what you have mentioned.

I hope that my score improves as i don't feel like rescheduling my exam.

Thanks for the advice.

Happy to help.
But you should do the prep and write a mock to really assess yourself. If there is no real urgency, you should reschedule it.

Kushal,
There's a series of Reading Comprehension Video links I'd recommend trying out here: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmatpill-releas ... -guide-rc/

It's a video guide on how you might read a passage -- focusing on how to break it down in real-time. Once you go through it, I'd recommend applying it to some articles out there written publications like Economist or Harvard Magazine.
