Hi, i'm feeling a little stuck in my preparation so looking for any tips or advices I can get here.
I'm trying to improve my verbal score, and I purchased E-gmat course following some of the reviews. It's great, I felt I could spot the mistake in SC and choose the answer for the right reason in contrast to before when I would choose the one that 'sounds' right to me. For CR I tried following the step most of the time (though not all the time under time pressure). The problem is my score never seemed to improve. I have scored 28, 31, 33 on gmatclub test, and after studying verbal I tested myself i merely scored 31 despite feeling rather confident while doing the test.
Another observation I had is I'm rather inconsistent. In my scholaranium quizzes I could be scoring okie on SC for one test but not the other. Same for CR.
I'm kind of hitting the wall here, any advices would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello, Li6ning. I am glad to hear you are pleased with the e-GMAT course. My advice is to stick with the methods you have learned but to focus increasingly on practicing official questions and mock tests. I was working with someone not long ago who earned a 31 on a GMAT Club Quant quiz (and was crushed) but followed my advice to take an official practice test and earned a 49 in that same section on that test. Quite a swing is not exactly common, but the point is that you never know how your performance on one platform will translate to a performance on official practice tests. Work on the fundamentals to pin down consistency. Do not focus on the clock so much. Just focus on your techniques for taking on whatever question is in front of you, and your accuracy will start to increase while your timing will decrease.
Third-party questions are fine for Quant practice, but I have yet to see anything that comes even close to matching official Verbal questions. (Companies do not want to get sued.) Stick to official questions for Verbal. Even for Quant, you want to make sure you are working with primarily official material. Otherwise, you might have a horrible feeling that you are doing something wrong when you could be better off than you think.
Good luck with your studies.
