Congrats to you.

I’m also facing issues in improving verbal score, it feels it I reached platue in verbal, my score ranging in V27 to V32 range, my quant score is moreover near Q50 to Q51. I am preparing for about 8-9 months and Moreover I devoted more than 60 % of my time to study SC but still accuracy hovers between 50 to 80%, and even worse is RC which takes too much time hence I decided to do only 2 RC, whichever seem easy to me, and skip rest 2 RC on test day. Is this strategy fine.

I need your advice on how to improve my verbal score.

Please mark kudos if you also facing similar issue, so that this post can come forward and hence we can get experts guidance on it.

Thanks.

For RC, becoming familiar with how INFERENCE questions could be helpful. If you want to practice just the reading side of things, similar articles from The Economist may be helpful. Consider working with a study buddy who has strong Verbal skills. You could teach them Quant ("my quant score is moreover near Q50 to Q51").

Hey guys!!

Today got 565 in GMAT FE, and I need to increase my score by 100 points in the next 15 days, I would love to get some guidance for my next 2 weeks.

The mistakes I have made, that I realised a little too late were:
1) NOT giving mocks. I have exam anxiety and kept procrastinating giving full mocks. I gave sectional mocks and was getting good scores. But the full mocks make me sweat and I lose all the focus I usually have.
2) I am not that good in Quant. Which is the main cause of my anxiety regarding giving full mock. So, how can I improve my score in the next 2 weeks? I am especially weak in algebra topics, and with the rest of the topics, I struggle with time management and careless mistakes usually (which I hope will get better as I get more used to full mocks)
3) Verbal has been my best section till now, but I just dropped in full mock. I feel time management is the main issue there. I have used Manhattan to do my basics and feel that I have a solid base in verbal.
4) In Data Insights, I struggled with DS questions mainly, and the rest was okay. After, 2-3 mocks, I think I'll be doing well in Data Insights.

So, the real struggle will be getting better at quantitative and time management. Getting my confidence up will definitely improve my performance.

I would appreciate some help.

PS. I am planning to apply for MiM courses by October. So time is really short. (That too is making me very anxious.)

HELP!!
