There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:
Do RC/MSR passages scare you? e-GMAT is conducting a masterclass to help you learn – Learn effective reading strategies Tackle difficult RC & MSR with confidence Excel in timed test environment
Prefer video-based learning? The Target Test Prep OnDemand course is a one-of-a-kind video masterclass featuring 400 hours of lecture-style teaching by Scott Woodbury-Stewart, founder of Target Test Prep and one of the most accomplished GMAT instructors.
What do you think are some good ways to asses verbal weaknesses? GMAT prep CATs don’t really give any analytics...
Are there any good diagnostic tests specifically for verbal?
Also, when approaching verbal prep is it best to take a broad strokes approach (I.e, I missed X SCs so that’s where I need to focus) or should you spend time determining the detailed question types that are causing trouble? It seems like there are many clear lines for quant topics but verbal is seemingly more broad.
Thanks in advance for any input,

1. You should take Verbal sectional tests to gauge your verbal abilities. You can also practice questions from the official guide, under time constraints.
2. Only GMAT Prep Practice CATs provide the closest approximation of the real GMAT. That said, you can take practices tests offered by the leading test prep companies: Manhattan GMAT, Veritas, and Kaplan. All these three provide excellent analysis.
3. You should always review practice tests and sectional quizzes by analyzing the question time, meaning you should focus on determining the strengths and weaknesses. A few tests would provide you an idea, to be honest.

Thanks for the feedback. Who do you think offers the best sectional tests?

Almost all of them offer sectional tests. However, you need to practice as many official verbals questions as you can, to get a higher verbal score. For the quant section, nothing comes closer to the GMAT Club Test Center.

I took the following GMAT prep cats under test like conditions...#1 V41, #2 V41, #3 V44, #4 V44, #5 V42...actual GMAT on Monday V35...so it seems like something must have just gone completely wrong on test day. That being said, I don't want to use the last GMAT Prep CAT as a diagnostic. For good measure, I picked up the Manhattan Prep verbal guides because up until this point I did not actually dedicate any time outside of reviewing practice tests to verbal prep / verbal strategy. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Right now, I'm planning to retake in two weeks and the idea is to hopefully have another successful outing on the quant side (Q48 earlier this week) and to pair that with a verbal score of at least 40...that way I'd have a solid GMAT in the bag for my applications this fall. I'd begin working on my apps, securing letters, etc., but would also continue studying to take the test 1-2 more times and push for an outstanding score.
