Check the link in my signature for a host of verbal studying tips.

But mostly--WHAT is going on on test day? Your verbal score is plummeting from mid 30s to a 17, am I seeing that correctly? How is your timing? Are you running out of time and having to guess at the end? That can really kneecap a score. Are you trying to get every question right you can until you realize you're out of time and then burning to the end? It's far better to strategically burn throughout the whole test.

A drop like this is usually due to timing or nerves. Nerves don't seem to affect your quant scores, though.

Hello sir,

I feel very anxious while attempting verbal and on the contrary very confident in quant. I feel like I can solve quant anytime that after my first attempt in feb I solved quant questions only for 15 days or so berfore my second attempt.
and right when I saw the first question of verbal on the screen at the back of my head I was thinking
1) verbal will help me now reach the desired score.
2) am I perfrorming well ?
3) I was sweating out

Yes sir I did guessed last 2 questions on the vebal.
Thank You for your reply I will check out verbal studying tips you mentioned

Please check the post link metion below what I did during the prepration.

So it really sounds like anxiety got the best of you. That's a huge part of prep. Mindfulness and meditation have been shown to help. You can't worry about how you're doing on the test--you just have to look at the question in front of you and use the time you have wisely.
