Today i gave my first gmatprep exam and scored 680 (q-49, V-32). I have given many tests but my verbal score has always been 32. How can i improve in verbal. I have only 14 days left for my exam. I have used Manhattan +Vertias books and Magoosh course. I have read many articles regarding this issue but they did not help me. I normally get the same no of questions wrong in SC,RC and CR. I guess i need to improve in all areas.

Here are some questions for you:
1. Are you following the question-type strategies exactly as outlined in these books/sources?
2. Sometimes quantity vs. quality matters - did you cover the materials fast and potentially overlooked something? Most people just cover 1 book.
3. If you saw no improvement in solving questions, why were you moving on to other types of questions? if you are unable to gain progress in getting higher accuracy rates, should you perhaps stop there and work on that area until you can see improvement and find what has been the issue?
P.S. It is hard to get a lot of improvement in 2 weeks in Verbal but potentially possible if you find your issue.

Thanks for your reply bb,
First of all i my accuracy was pretty good when i was going through these books. I also did not rush. But here is what i realized yesterday. I had stopped following the strategies listed in these books( as you rightly said). So, i have made a plan. Please let me know your opinion about it.
1. Go through Powerscore CR and solve it's questions ( manhattan CR strategies didn't work alot for me)
2. Go through Aristotle SC Grail and RC.(will just use the questions- use the strategies i learnt from manhattan sc and rc)
I have finished half of Powerscore CR.
Is there any change you would like me to make in my plan?
Thanks
