Hi all,
Just came back from test center and scored 490 (44q/15v). The verbal score made me feel miserable.. On all tests/cats i scored between 20-25 so i thougt i will score around the same..
Any tips for me to improve verbal section? (Especially CR and SC)
My resources:
- Manhattan full quant and verbal sec 13th edition
- kaplan 2015
- og13
I always stick between two answers in cr (read manhattan CR book several times but dont get used to it) and SC is terrible for me.. I recognize most of the time the wrong anseers but still 2 or 3 answers left for me.. Someone tips?

Hello,
Sorry to hear about your score. If you want to improve your score from 600 to 700, there may be some tricks you have missed. However, I think score below 600 can be significantly improved via practicing questions. I know I may sound discouraging, but the GMAT questions has a standard of format which you can't really miss if you see it again. Leave no excuse to yourself and keep practicing is the key to bring it up to 600.
For instance, if I keep giving you the same 700+ question all the time, I am sure you can solve it in a minute. Practicing GMAT questions is just the same, but with a more variety of questions. Hence, you need a lot more time for revision.
For instance, ask yourself:
What's the idiom for using the word "aid"?
If you don't know the answer, or if you can't figure it out instantly, that means you have not studied enough.
