Hi himbha93.

Increasing your GMAT verbal score takes a few key things.

- You have to get what GMAT verbal tests, which is not really whether you know a bunch of facts. It tests your vision, your attention to details, your skill in using logic, and your execution skills.

- You have to learn key concepts. Yes, GMAT verbal is not a test of knowledge. At the same time, to play the GMAT verbal game, you need to know the rules.

- You have to learn some basic strategies, but NOT any shortcuts. Shortcuts will not work.

- You have to train to develop the skills mentioned above.

So, if you have not succeeded in increasing your verbal score, you have to figure out which of the above you have not achieved.

Maybe you have been preparing as if GMAT verbal is a test of knowledge rather than a test of skill.

Maybe you have to better understand concepts.

Maybe the strategies you are using are not sound. (I suspect they are not.)

Maybe you have to do more analysis of questions to develop the vision, attention to detail, and execution skills necessary for rocking GMAT verbal. (I am basically certain that you have to do more.)

My best guess is that there are adjustments that you can make related to all four of the aspects of mastering GMAT verbal mentioned above.

Dear Marty.

TTP has begun to release a verbal course.

At the moment, it includes only the CR and SC chapters, along with 180 CR practice questions.

That said, for many people, it is working very well, even as is, partly because they have succeeded in using the course along with official questions.

If you are a non-native English speaker, you could sign up for the 5-day trial and check out the SC chapters in particular. Non-native English speakers have been taking their SC skills to whole new levels by using the TTP SC Course.

Just, if you do try the course, be very thorough in doing the exercises and example questions. You won't achieve a score increase by just clicking through the course.

Also, if you end up using the course, TAKE YOUR TIME in answering the Chapter Test questions. They are designed to teach you to think, see, and execute, and for best results, you should spend at least 5, if not 15 minutes or more, per question.

You have to learn to plan the game!

Hi! Marty! Nice to hear that TTP verbal (SC and CR) is live. When are you planning to make the RC section available?
