I suggest you take the entire test with CAPS LOCK on to impress them and show them you're a go-getter. For passages, you need to have a pretty firm grasp of english, something that takes a long time to build up. For SC, you can learn grammar rules and sneak by. Critical reasoning you also need a decent grasp of english, but not nearly the command required for passages. The real solution is to immerse yourself in english for a good period of time, but if that isn't possible I'd suggest pure memorization of rules, patterns, and constructs.

Caps lock on? You are either joking with the person who posted this thread or you have got a wrong idea! Do not do that because it could annoy the reader of the essay and result in possibly lower score.

RUHULDUMKTGMAIL, you should not use caps lock (capital letters) on. I also think that you need to improve in English as much as possible because it will prevent possible confusion while reading the material.

i have those books and read most of them. my problem is either not to understand the intended meaning of sentence or fail to decide the wright one.
is it due to my lack of concentration or inherent limitation?
i have involved in gmat since 2009 janu.

i read, understand ,and make someone understand ,but i can not pick the wright one on gmatprep or online test. say e.g. manhattan free test, i got 29 in verbal. is there no way to escape from this problem? how many hours and days/months need to study to overcome this barriers? plz suggest me.....

Stop preparing for GMAT for a few months and get familiar with English. Read a lot of novels/ non fiction books. Get hold of a basic grammar book and try to identify parts of speech etc. Try to write essays and get them edited from someone who is excellent in English. It will probably take 6 months of intense reading cycle but that would surely help.

Have you tried a coaching center? Forget quant, read as many books as you can in English. Don't read the Daily Star.

Read newspaper a lot everyday and check the meaning of the unknown word. That will help you with RC.
For grammar I suggest "English grammar in use" by Raymond Murphy.. Hope it helps and good luck.
