Hi everyone,

As you can understand from the title, I'm looking for a question bank for the Verbal. I have already finished the OG and I need other exercises. Does anyone know where to find them?

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Hi bito94,

There are various sources of practice. But first of all I would recommend you to go through the official questions.
You can buy the Verbal review official guide and Question Pack 1 from mba.com

We offer a great question bank of questions. You can opt for a trial and see if that fulfils your needs.

Ok, thank you very much I think I'll try. However does anyone know if there is some question pack made by forum members for free? I found one with 1000+ questions for Math and I'm looking for something similar for the Verbal part.

You really want to stick with official questions for Verbal. Math is universal and has clear rules that are accepted everywhere. While GMAT Verbal follows many generally accepted rules, it also has a style of its own, and the test writers determine which rules they will enforce and which they won't. Quality verbal questions are hard to come by, and people who study from sub-par questions often learn the wrong things and get confused!

So I'll second the recommendations for GMATPrep above. You can also purchase other official materials, such as older editions (the 10th ed. OG is good and available second-hand at low cost) and the mba.com "paper tests." Given the cost of a GMAT retake, a few bucks on quality questions is a worthwhile expense.

Having said all that, I also recommend that you work back through the OG. Most people are too quick to look for new material without truly mastering what they've already covered. The OG should really be all you need! For instance, in SC, can you explain all the issues in each question? Can you find the quickest way to get to the answer? Can you eliminate multiple choices based on just one issue, such as subject-verb or meaning? In CR/RC, how often can you prephrase the answer before looking at the choices? Can you see why each answer is wrong?

I have some more suggestions in this post: where-to-practice-after-og-154845.html#p1239328

Hi DmtryFarber, Thank you very much for your reply. I'm following your advices and, since I did all the exercises more than two months ago I am working again on the OG; moreover I am using the 2016 version instead than the 2015. If I feel that I need more exercise I'll definitely follow your advice for GmatPrep. Actually I think that the part in which I should work the most is the Reading Comprehension; do you have any specific tips for it? I think that my problem is that I want to understand EVERYTHING when I read something and not being mother tongue it's hard for me in some texts.

Here's some general advice I gave another student: reading-comprehension-strategies-needed-207005.html?hilit=passage#p1589161

You can definitely get in trouble trying to understand everything in the passage. Even my students who are native speakers of English often struggle to do that. Fortunately, it's not necessary. You want to focus on the big picture and how the paragraphs fit together into a coherent whole. If one of the questions asks you about a detail, you'll need to go back and make sure you've understood it well, but remember that there will only be a few questions. There will necessarily be many details that you are never asked about, and you will only hurt yourself by trying to master them all in your initial read-through.

Hello, I'm here to thank both of you for your answers, but especially to dmitri because his tips were really helpful. At the end I took my GMAT exam on the 25th and I got 760 (Q50, V42) so I can say that I improved a lot on the verbal part also because of your tips. Thanks again!
