Dear GMAT experts,
My career situation:
I have more than 7 years of working experience as Software Engineer/Designer/Architect/Project Lead. I am currently working in Dusseldorf, Germany.
My GMAT saga:
I was born in India and my education from childhood was English. However grammatically(GMATically) I am not so great at English. English was always my second language.
I prepared for GMAT in 2013 for a span of 2 months and gave up preparation since I got a new career opportunity in Germany. I moved to Germany and learned German, and over a period of time working and living in Germany has given me a great edge on German but my English became worst.
GMAT-Prep test:
In my last GMAT prep test, I secured a score of 470 (V-11, Q-43). I am devastated by this
I am aspiring a score of 730-750 to enter my dream B-school
I know how to improve my score from Q43-Q50, but I am clueless about improving my verbal score from V11-V40.
I knew it is difficult but not impossible.
I seek guidance and tips for Verbal preparation from GMAT experts here. Could you please guide me?
Thanks.

Improving from 470 to 700 or V11 to V40 is quite a steep jump and will take time. As I believe you have scope of improvement in every areas in both verbal and quant, instead of going hastily, I suggest you take atleast 3 months time to prepare thoroughly.
Get the Manhattan Books. Prepare the concepts thoroughly. Study 3-4 hrs everyday (preferably 2hrs in morning and 2 hrs in evening) for 5 days/week. Take 2 days off.
Get all the official materials (OG, EP1, EP2, QP1). Practice from Official guide and review each answer choice why it is right or wrong.
Once you complete step2, take the GMATPREP TEST1 again(dont waste TEST2! GMATPREP tests are really valuable!). Identify your weakness and put more focus on those areas(but dont forget to review other areas).
Also I suggest you go for a paid course. It will help you to keep focused on the objective and approach in a structured way.

Hi vin2win,
Welcome to the forum!
First, you need a study plan - The Definitive GMAT Study Plan
I guess you have to improve all three verbal sections. You can learn more about each section in the following threads:
The Guide to Reading Comprehension
Sentence Correction Megathread
Critical Reasoning Megathread!
As mentioned earlier, you will have to study consistently - get Manhattan textbooks and Powerprep Critical Reasoning Bible.
It is possible to improve your score. Read here - Best comeback stories
Hope this helps!
