Re: From 600 to 650. Should I retake one final time? [#permalink]
Thanks for your encouraging words dk94588 and rigger. I must have gone through cover to cover of manhattan SC at least 5 times. In all the practice from various sources, always had a hit rate of more than 90% on SC. CR and RC were always iffy for me although I could see the scores in these two areas stabilising in the last two weeks. Having said that, I was never as confident tackling CR and RC as I was solving SC problems. 1000SC and 1000CR should help alongwith some active reading of scientific journals etc. I have got powerscore CR bible. Good feedback by some fellow members here at GC notwithstanding, I found the book a bit too much of a dry read with quite abstract contents. Now I think I should put my foot down and read some of the technical details which were, I must confess, useful.

I agree with dk94588 about building endurance and short sprints of say 3 hours at a go on verbal seems like a good idea. btw, what do you guys think about GMATClub verbal tests. I have about 3 of them left. Are they good practice? Also, does someone of you have any opinion on any verbal course by the testprep companies in the market?

I have almost decided to take GMAT on one final time. So please let your thoughts and opinions on handling verbal flow. I would much appreciate them. My absolute dream school is LBS followed by insead, cambridge and imd in that order. Right now all of them seem to be a stretch.

Re: From 600 to 650. Should I retake one final time? [#permalink]
any practice is good practice, but GMATclub, as well as all other providers, does have strengths and weaknesses, so I would do a large array of different providers. I am sort of trying to get the tests for free by making 200 posts or getting kudos tho, so I can't really tell you if they are or not. I know searching the forums here and trying to answer the questions ppl post is helpful tho, i mean I got a 41V and I'm still learning stuff on the forums.

It looks like you are showing good improvement with each test. Like other posters have mentioned, perhaps taking a month and focusing on the verbal will help you get you to where you want to be.
