Can I go from V35 to V43 in 4 weeks?

Question

I am a non-IT Indian Male. 29 yrs old, working in my family owned conglomerate.

I have kept a target score of 750.(Q49 V43)

Last GMAT Prep breakup.

Q48 V35

The Cause of Concern : 3 weeks Back my Diag was Q45 V31 and I devoted maximum time to Verbal.

I have 4 weeks left for the Actual Test. Need to hit V43+

Any tips and suggestions would be highly appreciated :-D

Thanks.
Amantran

My SC is at 90% level. CR and RC are a menace. Any specific strategy to improve upon that?

Hi  AmanKidCACS

It is great to know that you have a great target score & you're striving hard for it. Additionally, I quite agree that GMAT Prep are the closest indicator of what you might end scoring on the GMAT. Having said that, I'd like to tell you that it is quite subjective to mark a comment on questions such as "I have a current GMAT Prep score of V 25, can I take it to V 40?" or " I have observed a lot of inconsistency lately in different mocks in my Verbal score. What and how to do?" or "Is it possible to increase your GMAT score by 60 points in 3-4 weeks?"

I would say if you think you can, then you can. Identifying and working on what went wrong will definitely work for anyone and everyone. I am NOT against any prep company when I say that they are here to offer you the right resources and direction! My point is ultimately it is "you" who'll have to earn that score. If a prep company guarantees a 60 point improvement and you are not genuinely studying hard for it, nothing can help!

In short, to answer your question - Yes, it is possible to improve from V 35 to V 43 if taken the right steps.

Hi AmanKidCACS,

The SC section is the easiest verbal section to make improvements on. Once you understand how to think and approach this question type, there are only so many ways you can be tested. Here at GMAT Pill we developed the 10 core frameworks which detail the 10 ways to approach GMAT sentence corrections.

Here is a sample video detailing one of the core frameworks: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... stion/2184

To improve RC - you really need visual guidance. Don't read articles about how to improve reading. You improve by actually doing or watching someone else do.

That's why you might find these video walkthroughs helpful: https://www.gmatpill.com/practicequestio ... tions.html

For CR, we recommend a visual framework approach to help you understand the complex short passages and how each item relates to each other.

Here is a video describing the visual framework approach: https://www.gmatpill.com/criticalreasoni ... Estate.mp4

Best of luck on your studies!

Well, you need some sort of strategic framework to approach each verbal section. I'd recommend my guides, of course, which are linked in my signature, but there are other guides which could work as well. Beyond that, you need to keep track of your errors. Do problems, get them wrong, understand why you got them wrong, and do them again in a week.

The specific jump from V35 to V43 is a tough one, but it's doable. What have you been using to prepare so far?
