At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hello everyone,
I started to actually study for the GMAT around a month ago, I just finished to take my second practice test and I scored 670 (Q49, V32).
I previously scored a 590 (Q39, V33), but it was around six months ago and I did the mistake to take it before knowing how the test is graded, the type of questions, the fact that in theory is more important to answer all the questions than to answer correctly etc. So I don't think it's indicative. After that test I stopped everything GMAT related until I started to study.
I am quite happy with my quant score, but the verbal is terrible. I am not a native speaker, but I thought I would be able to score much more.
I was planning to take the test in two weeks, so to be able to apply for the January application rounds. I was hoping to get at least 700.
What's my chance to improve that much? I imagine that since my quant is already good I should mostly focus on verbal. How do you suggest to study? Maybe reading tons of books and articles can help? Also, I will finish my finals in the next week, so I'll be able to focus 100% on GMAT.
Another point is that the section in which I had the worst performance was Sentence correction. Is this a good sign, since I guess it's the one with the highest chance to be improved? I scored very well in Reading comprehension and ok in Critical reasoning
How much time do you think I need to study in order to reach my goal of 700+?
Thank you!

Hi pv23.
You can score as high as you want with enough effective preparation, but perhaps what you're asking is how much you can improve your score in a few weeks.
To get to 700+ with Q49, you need to get to 35 or 36 in verbal, meaning you have to get a few more verbal questions correct and you have to increase the difficulty level of the verbal questions you get correct. Going from 32 to 35 or 36 in verbal is not a huge lift. So, it's possible that you can get achieve your score goal in a few weeks.
Fortunately, as you suspected, SC is the easiest part of verbal to improve in. You can get from the following posts some insights into how to improve in SC.
