I intrinsically started off with a decent score in verbal, in that I could get to around a 39 by just choosing what "sounded" right without knowing why. Which is weird, since I always viewed myself as a quant guy. I guess from reading so much.
That said, the key difference for me was, for math, I think the most effective method was just doing practice problems. For verbal, I felt the most effective method was learning the rules (e.g. parallelism). Just by memorizing rules such as "the word 'which' always only impacts the word directly to the left" I was able to increase it 44. I took manhattan gmat, and they helped a bunch too.

What's your weakness in verbal? Reading Comp? Sentence Correction? Critical Reasoning?
For me it Reading Comprehension. I finally got into a mindset where I looked forward to reading the passages, enjoyed what I read(no matter how dull it was), and ultimately did better. I also read BusinessWeek any chance I got to get some practice reading non-fiction, sometimes dry, material.
I think I went from V37 to V44 (first mock GMAT to actual) and a good portion was Reading Comprehension. I improved Sentence Correction by doing lots of practice problems and following tips from the Manhattan Guides.

I was wondering how many candidates from India have received interview invites in this round (Jan 6 deadline) ? I did not receive the invite. How much percentage of the people get wait listed on March 13 ? Is there anyone from India who got wait listed in the previous round ?
I was thinking of sending an email to adcom committee some minor updates to the application. Now in dilemma, should I send or Should I wait till March 13 ?

I think that if you are set on MBB and only MBB it will be worth the $250 bucks to try again. If you would consider some other firms, you might have a good shot. I have heard of 650 and above getting into consulting with a bit of extra effort and strong networking.[/quote]
any tips on verbal. pl i would really appreciate if you guide me where i should study and practice verbal from. books and material which helped you immensely. i am fairly confident with quant and have always been but can't seem to go past 37 in verbal even though i got 35 in exam in gmat prep i got 37 once.[/quote]

well honestly i remember solving gmat advanced quant when i took the gmat in december and i did it with relative ease. all the questions at the back and yet i got 47 on quant and i was getting higher in mock tests. verbal- i have time issues. second i hate doing rc's and i tend to guess a lot when it comes to SC. i think i am fairly confident with critical reasoning but if there is something out there which would help me further i would appreciate it.
the books i have are gmat-all 8 books. og 13th edition. manhattan advanced quant. powerscore critical reasoning bible. all these i have practiced thoroughly. anything i should add to this?
i only want to retake it if i can manage a 720+. i don't see any point taking it and scoring a 690 or 700 as thats not a big step up from 670.
