GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy. - May 08

Hii all
I took the gmat yesterday and scored a disappointing 580 (Q44, V26, IR 5). I'm planning to retake it after 2 months i.e in May. As you can see my weak area is verbal and I badly want a 700+ overall.
I was not able to do well particularly in RC and CR. So I'm planning to take the e-gmat verbal live online course. I wanted to know whether its worth it or not. And the next thing is can anyone suggest a study plan which is verbal focused for two months. especially i need some suggestions on how to build practice sets of RC and CR ( how to time RC and CR while practicing )
Pls somebody help thnq

Hi Lucky009,
A 580 is slightly above-average score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years), so it's understandable why you would want to retest. I'd like to know a bit more about how you've studied so far, so that I can offer the most useful and pointed advice possible:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used during your studies?
3) How were you scoring on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Using this Official Score as a 'baseline', you're likely going to have to improve in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections to hit your goal score. As such, you should be looking to invest in new GMAT materials that will help you to improve in both of those sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a predictable, standardized Test, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

hello Rich first of all thanks for the reply.
I prepared for the GMAT for 4 months and I've used the following materials
1. ALL OFFICIAL GUIDES INCLUDING QUANT AND VERBAL SUPPLEMENTS
2. MANHATTAN GMAT 8 STUDY GUIDES
3. POWERSCORE FOR CR
4. LSAT BIBLE FOR RC ( DIDN'T HELP ME MUCH)
5. GMAC QUESTION PACK
6. MANHATTAN 6 PRACTICE CATS
7. GMAC EXAM PACK
8. GMAT CLUB TESTS
I also joined princeton review in class course which was terrible and waste of time and money. I took like around 10 CATS but now I have only these scores. The other CATS were also around 590 to 640 range.
MGMAT CAT-1 530 (Q43, V21)
MGMAT CAT-2 590 (Q44,V29)
GMAT PREP -1 600 (Q47,V25)
MGMAT CAT-3 540 (Q39,V27)
As you can see there's an inconsistency in the score. I struggled particularly in verbal. CR and RC were the devils that made me struggle a lot. I was facing difficulty with timing and pacing in the verbal section. I desperately want a 700+ score so looking to invest a good verbal online course. I will retake the gmat in may 2015. So please can you help me achieve my dream score.
Looking forward for a reply
Thanks
