I think it’s just a measure to see if you can handle the business school course load.

Hi Demanakar,
The Verbal section is as consistent and predictable as the Quant section is, but Verbal questions have no 'safety net' - meaning that if you make a little mistake or miss a vital piece of information, then you will convince yourself that one of the wrong answers is correct (and not realize it). There are certainly 'parallels' in this type of thinking to how you might make business decisions (and potentially 'bad' decisions out in the real world) - so there's something to be said for building a proper 'framework' to process information and keep track of the essential components of a prompt/argument. Proper note-taking is essential for all RC and CR prompts; your ability to predict what the correct answer will state before you look at the 5 choices can greatly increase your Scores, so you have to train to do the proper work on every Verbal question that you face.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
