Hey everyone!

I am aiming at V35+ and have been studying verbal for less than a month.
What accuracy is needed for a v35 score?

my current score
CR level 600-700 (>=80%)
CR level 700 (=50%)
SC level 600-700 (= 50%) clearly have to progress here
RC level 600-700 (not relevant yet but i do not struggle too much)

tell me what you think?
is my accuracy for mid 600 sufficient in CR?
thanks!!

May sound strange but the answer isn't that straight forward. You could search for some ESRs people have made available on the site with similar Verbal scores to get an idea, though.

A general suggestion would be to simply get as good as you can be, partly because on the actual exam it's unlikely for someone to immediately tell all the time the difficultly level of the question they are tackling. That being said, it's probably fair to say you'd want a strong accuracy on the easy and medium questions during your prep (this doesn't mean neglecting doing decently on hard questions, though). If you're around the V30ish level, figuring out where you may have some fundamental gaps can also be helpful. I recently tutored a student who had a near perfect accuracy on RC (but had a V35). This meant focusing on SC and CR, for example.

Hello, jonNNNNNy. I agree with the suggestions provided above by GmatTutorKnight. It is not as simple a task to pin down a particular score in Verbal (below a perfect 51, that is) as to say, Miss X questions, get Y as a scaled score. A lot depends on the difficulty of the questions missed, in addition to the number. Sometimes missing a single question can drop the scaled score to a 50, a 49, or even a 48. That said, you have the right idea about establishing accuracy benchmarks for different levels of questions, since the GMATTM punishes mistakes on lower-level questions more than it rewards accuracy on upper-level questions. Provided the difficulty levels you reported above reflect their official designation, per the Official Guide, then I would say that your performance on Medium CR questions is in decent shape—see if you can shoot for 85 percent accuracy or greater, just for a little extra insurance that you will not miss the type of question that might cause the test to throw more Medium questions at you, resulting in a lower score; Hard CR questions could be a bit better—aim for at least 60 percent, but only after you can consistently hit your Medium benchmark; SC must be addressed. You ought to be at 80 percent or greater in terms of accuracy at Medium-level questions, or else your whole test will be spent bouncing back and forth in Medium territory. Keep in mind, a typical exam consists of about 14 SC questions and only 8 CR questions. You cannot afford to miss about half of the SC set at a Medium level of difficulty and walk away with a 35. Make SC a priority. As for RC, I agree that passage difficulty is less important to focus on than individual question difficulty. Some 500-level passages on this site will throw in a 50% correct question now and then, and some 700-level passages will have the occasional 90% correct question. It is more about being able to navigate any question from a given passage that will give you confidence in your performance.

I would recommend hitting the theory hard right now on SC. Practice a passage or so of RC a day, with maybe a day or two off per week for review (of all question types). CR looks to be in pretty good shape. You could probably afford to work through ten or so questions a week, however you broke that down, and be fine, as long as you could hit your accuracy benchmarks. Finally, I would recommend you let go of this particular scaled score of 35. If you learn as much as you can and put in sufficient practice, you will have no reason not to focus on getting as many questions correct as you can, and the outcome will simply follow.

Good luck with your studies.

- Andrew
