Hi all, I just gave a GMAT Focus Official mock and scored 665. I had given one two months ago and scored 655. I just saw a 10 point improvement. I want to fastrack this process. My major weakness is verbal, where my accuracy is stagnant at ~70% (Overall - Easy/Medium & Hard questions). I'm practicing LSAT Questions timed and the accuracy is again ranging between 65-80%.
What strategy should I follow to improve my Verbal skills apart from everyday timed practice of hard LSAT questions & OG Questions ?
I have attached my verbal result from today's mock. Any guidance would be immensely appreciated. TIA!

Hi cg123,
To increase your verbal score to a higher level, you have to go through GMAT verbal carefully to find your exact weaknesses, fill gaps in your knowledge, and strengthen your skills. The overall process will be to find weaker areas, learn all about how to answer questions of types that you aren't that comfortable with now, and do dozens of practice questions category by category, basically driving your score up point by point.
For example, assume you begin studying Critical Reasoning. Your first goal is to master the individual Critical Reasoning topics: Strengthen the Argument, Weaken the Argument, Resolve the Paradox, etc. As you go through the questions, do a thorough analysis of each question that you don't get correct. If you missed a Weaken question, ask yourself why you didn't get it right. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not recognize what the question was asking? Did you skip over a key detail in an answer choice? Getting GMAT verbal questions right is a matter of what you know, what you see, and what you do. So, any time that you don't get one right, you can seek to identify what you would have had to know in order to get the right answer, what you had to see that you didn't see, and what you could have done differently to arrive at the correct answer.
