Hi,
I'm giving my exam on June 2021 with self preparation. I attempted the free mock exam and I saw that both my quants and verbal are weak. After giving the mock exam, I started with my quants preparation from the very basics and now I'm a little confident on that part with a rise in accuracy and able to grasp what and where did my answer went wrong, but I'm a little worried about my Verbal portion as even after following the guidelines on how to solve RC, SC and CR question, the accuracy isn't rising. I'm targeting a minimum score of 720. Should I consider joining an institution or is there any other way to deal with it that I can follow as I do my self preparation?
Also, I saw a video on Gmat Club wherein the instructor said that RC and CR question will be doable only when you've developed a reading habit on a daily basis, there isn't any shortcuts to these questions. How strongly do you believe this?
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, it is true that if you have not bee an avid reader RC, CR could be a real trouble for you and might need a lot of consistent practice to achieve a first quartile score; However, it is not impossible to master if you are consistent and show perseverance in your preparation
I hope it helps.

Hi I have also been studying independently and for CR going through power-scope bible helped me immensely, I suggest that you go through that book and do the following
1. Go through initial 4-5 chapters and start solving low difficulty question(preferably LSAT) from the topics which you have studied, meanwhile continue going through the PowerScope book
2. Once you complete the book, start doing LSAT questions without the timer and solve each question with depth, I write the reasons in a notebook while solving question on why each option is wrong, this helped me reinforced the concepts visited in the book, this phase will help you strengthen your understanding and will help increase accuracy under time pressure
3. After performing step 2, start doing the questions with the timer, because solving a CR question in 5-10 mins is one thing vs solving it when the clock is ticking
Also GMATNINJA videos help a lot on verbal
For SC, I have just covered the fundamentals of SC and am currently on step 2
