Hello! Could I ask for help with finding the correct GMAT Prep resources?
I studied with Kaplan 2021 guides and GMAT Official Guides for my first attempt and scored 700 (Q49, V36). I am looking to improve my Verbal score, especially SC and RC, but keep running into far too many choices. Could anyone suggest which site/books would be good to focus on?
Thank you all so much!

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club!
700 is a great score! Still below average for the Top 10 but a great overall score! Congrats on getting to the magic 7's.
Did you use the Kaplan Verbal workbook?
I have used it to get up to V42, so it is possible. However, MGMAT Books would be much more detailed and in-depth. Lots of people scored very high with MGMAT's books.
Alternatively you can try the monthly courses such as TTP or EMPOWERgmat. They are just $99/month.

Hi GaiaS,
First of all, 700 is a great score. Congratulations! A Q49 indicates that you have almost mastered this section. However, there is still room for improvement in Verbal as already stated by you. Let me help you.
Verbal questions on GMAT are very tricky. Let me help you with the right way to approach your Verbal Prep.
How to Ace your Verbal Prep?
For GMAT Verbal, it is very important that you follow the right methodology and the logical approach. GMAT verbal is mostly about eliminating four incorrect answer choices rather than choosing the right one. Before you start learning, it's important to understand what is actually tested using the questions. Each module in Verbal (SC, CR and RC) has to be approached in a different way. For example, before you start learning the concepts of SC, you need to understand that SC questions on GMAT test your ability to convey the right meaning without any ambiguity. So, it's important to approach them from a meaning stand-point. You might have often come across answer choices which are both grammatically correct and convey a logical meaning but are indeed incorrect because they do not convey the intended meaning. So, the process to approach SC questions is to:
• Comprehend the original meaning of the sentence
• Identify errors if any (both grammatical and meaning wise)
• Eliminate answer choices which either are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning
You can go through the link below to understand the process in a better way:
Similarly, in RC, you need to have the right reading strategies to understand the inferences which are not directly stated in the passage. There is one fundamental mistake that most students do, that is trying to read the passage fast. The trick to ace RC is not to understand WHAT is written, but to understand WHY it is written. You need to follow a 3 step process i.e. 1. Involved Reading 2. Evolved Reading 3. Answer Choice Elimination

Having said this, I would like to know what is the approach you followed during the test along with a few other things so that I can suggest you a more structured plan. If you wish to discuss this over a call, you can schedule a free consultation call using the below link. Considering the effort, you have put, I would really like to know the concerns and help you improve your score.
