Hello Everyone
I have scheduled GMAT (Test Centre based) in 10 days. I have prepared since last 3 months
Here are my mock test scores ->
14-10-2022 GMAT Official Mock 4 - 700 ( Q50 V34 )
17-10-2022 GMAT Official Mock 5 - 700 ( Q50 V35 )
22-10-2022 GMAT Official Mock 6 - 700 ( Q50 V35)
Although preparing for Verbal since last 2 and a half months, I feel quite clueless / have low confidence in Verbal.
Any suggestions on how to approach studying Verbal in the next 10 days.

Hi. I think the positive and good news is your scores are very consistent. While you may not have, super high score, 700 is respectable and very consistent. A lot of the testtakers recently have been suffering from scores, jumping all over and not knowing which way is up.
Here’s my opinion, and feel free to disagree with it and push back, but usually, you do not want to make any changes this close before the test. At this point in time, you have your habits, your rhythm, your approaches, and any change you make will have unexpected consequences. This is the time when you protect your score rather than try to grow it. I know it may not sound very reassuring or positive, but if you had to spend the last 2 1/2 months studying, why expect the last 10 days should be any different? I think about running a marathon, your rent, or 90% of it, and usually the last 10% you don’t run at the fastest pace. You do some faster running maybe at the very very end to try to pass a person or two since the end is so close , but you don’t change your whole strategy or approach, you just run a little faster
So my recommendation would be to focus on your mistakes and get confidence with easy and medium level questions. Find an area that scares you the most and focus on that and see if you can get more comfort with it by learning grammar or practicing certain CR question types. I would also make sure your timing is planned out in advance and that you have a plan what to do in case you cannot answer the question and being able to give up and move on without getting stuck. This is a test that eventually will get you stuck so it’s totally normal and it’s totally normal on the test to be uncomfortable because you are tested at the peak of your abilities And the less you are one of the very few, GMAT experts, you will feel uncomfortable. I had verbal 42 and I felt I was failing half my questions.
So I think you can count on some incremental improvements and potentially eat out some points here or there, but I would recommend against making any significant changes to your test taken approach.

Need to revise the questions you got wrong during the Mock Tests. Such a 'Focussed' revision will empower you with confidence over handling the 'weak' areas of your preparations.
