At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi All,
I have been preparing for GMAT since February and had scheduled an official GMAT in April end. Took a Princeton Review mock for a generic idea:
670 Q45V38
I was pretty happy seeing this as I knew Quant score can easily scale up for me with practice and there's a good verbal base to climb up. But over the course of OG questions, GMATclub verbal tests (V31 twice) I lost my momentum yet somehow kept going. My GMAT Official Practice Exams 3 and 4 results (kept aside 1 and 2 for pre-exam week) were as follows:
3. 710 Q50V36 (24/03)
4. 680 Q49V34 (01/04)
I was targeting for a 750+ score and seeing these results in April, I postponed my exam to May last week. I knew with this extra practice period I can hit Q51 as well, but the main focus was to improve those verbal scores. I had already covered much of the OGs sporadically but never maintained a proper log of my mistakes. In my April leg, I began to do that as well but nothing seems to be working currently as my Manhanttan mock last week I got a V31 again
It pretty much seems to be that I have reached a ceiling in my Verbal scores but what puzzles me is that without all this extensive knowledge I gathered during last two months over multiple GMATClub posts, prep materials/videos, my score was actually better earlier. (V38 in Feb to V31 being regular score now) I know that official mocks are better indicators and all but the difference won't be that big.
Want to hit target score in next three weeks, need help.[\b]
[b]Points to note:
1. Can't post link/attachments to score reports (before 5 posts) so didn't attach that.
2. I do feel a little bit anxious during my tests but that seems to be getting better day by day.
3. CR used to be a weak area but in last Manhattan mock I got 9/10 right (checked the difficulty of questions because my score is bad, maybe I got easier questions. But there was good amount of 700-800 questions(they were 65% hard on GMATClub as well)
4. I have kept my last 4 GMAC official tests for when I am actually in a better state i.e start hitting higher V30s or V40s (seems like latter is impossible now)
5. As for resources I have tried GMATNinja Youtube videos, TTP 1-month plan etc. Before this, I even tried e-gmat last year (but that can be ignored as I was never serious back then)

Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC to students. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, consider working on your solving approach. Had a 6-hour student who went from a V31 to a V40 in about 30 days, for example. Perhaps work with a study buddy who has really strong Verbal skills to see how they approach the section/cover certain areas you're a bit weak. You could teach them Quant in return.

Hi ab11003.
If you know more about Verbal than you did in the past but are scoring lower, then there's something about the way you're going about answering the questions that's not working. This type of issue with the Verbal section is actually pretty common among GMAT test-takers, and often once something clicks for test-takers about Verbal, their Verbal scores increase.
To make things click, you could see the following post and video, which discuss in detail how to prepare for GMAT Verbal effectively and increase your score from the 30s to the 40s.
