I've done verbal questions both on kaplan and OG... with not so bad results. probably I've to better understand the book explanations instead of doing more exercise.

do you think there is a good book for a specific verbal preparation ?

For SC people suggest Manhattan GMAT SC book , it's very good you should get one. Also try to answer the question in the verbal section of this forum , u will learn a lot .

As you mentioned knowing where u went wrong is more imp than doing tons of them and not knowing your mistake . Create an error log and after every test write down your mistakes and try not to repeat those again . keep reviewing it once a day . That will help too .

Master OG , go through their explanation , even u get the question write .
You can also create notes from there , that way u will know more about their objective.

For RC you can read editorial section on times,scientific american (https://www.sciam.com/) ,washington post , but remember read the editorial section .

Plus browse through form you will find lots of material for SC , contributed by many users .

Work hard on verbal and you will get a very good score next time . Your quant score is really good, so no worry there .

Good luck .

Hi ltm80,

With more practice, I am sure you can do well in Verbal. There is loads of info out here in this forum itself. Look thru the stickys in Verbal formum. Here is a few to start with (from GMAT forum) -
https://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=11569
https://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=22478

And the most important thing is - PARTICIPATE in the forum discussions. Of all, that helped me the most.

Good Luck!
