I am done with the quant part preparation which I have done through TTP. I had a few queries regarding this:
- My accuracy with problem solving is 92% but with data sufficiency: 72%. Is this a major concern? My overall accuracy is around 87%.
- I have not taken a single mock in 4 month GMAT prep because I am not at all prepared with the verbal section, also I feel giving the mocks unprepared will be a waste of the resource. Is this approach correct?
- Now I plan to start the verbal preparation, I am a non native speaker. I plan to do SC with Manhattan and CR with powerscore CR bible. I would love other recommendations for my prep. I am very bad with sentence correction and average with CR. I really need to improve my verbal. I did try to understand a few topics from both books but I just could not grasp it. What do I do?

SC is like Quants; with practice, everyone can improve. So I do recommend the Manhattan SC as it is very detailed and sufficient. You just have to practice along with it.
And in quants, I'd focus less on overall accuracy and more on difficulty level wise accuracy as it'll be more helpful for you to get, for example, 95-97% accuracy in Easy questions, 87-95% in Medium and a little less for the hard ones. That's what I'm focusing on right now.
Go through the Powerscore CR as it'll help you to improve upon on your RC approach as well. RC strategy for me is to read and try to understand the passage as much as I can on the first read and then if necessary, come back to it for the detail based questions.
If you can't understand the books then maybe you're off getting a video course. But Manhattan SC is fairly straightforward and easy to understand even to non-natives. Maybe you haven't given it time.
Good luck!

Hi thank you for the response.
Yes I guess I'll be more confident with SC once I've mastered all concepts instead of practicing with just a few concepts.
Also about quants, my bad. I forgot to mention that TTP tests are very well segregated into easy, medium and hard level tests. So each test already has a benchmark set according to your goal score. Like for example my goal is Q50-51, so I need to score 90%, 70% and 60% on my easy, medium and hard tests respectively. Which I've been achieving.
Coming back to verbal, how long do you think I can cover and master verbal for v38+ score if I give 4-6 hours a day? I know it's a very subjective question but since you've done a bit of verbal and I've done nothing, you might be able to give me an estimate.
All the best to you too! When do you plan on taking the exam?
