Hi all,
I'm a week away from my second attempt at GMAT. My first attempt was a devastating 530 (Q40,V21, IR7, AWA6).
For this attempt I've been going through GMATNinja videos on YouTube for SC and pretty much studying MGMAT guides for the rest.
My MGMAT mock scores have been as below:
610 (Q44, V30)
630 (Q44, V32)
630 (Q44, V32)
640 (Q45, V32)
(I had previously also taken an official gmat mock before my first attempt at the official exam, and the mock score was Q48,V22. )
I have seen that MGMAT quant questions normally take not only more time to solve, but are also slightly more difficult than the OG questions.
But I'm more concerned about my Verbal score. It seems to be pretty stuck in the 30-32 range.
I do have a grip on CR for the most part, but SC concepts are way too many to remember and apply. RC is not consistent for me either.
Any tips to improve the same would be great!

Might be worth checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th edition for SC. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful as well. If/when you feel your fundamentals are solid, consider working on your solving approach. May help boost your score a bit. Had a 6-hour student for example who went from a V31 to a V40 in about 30 days. Perhaps work with a study buddy who is really strong on Verbal. There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you could have a look at/sign up to.
