Hi Experts,
bb GMATNinja ScottTargetTestPrep KarishmaB
I gave my GMAT last week and score 760/V42. In my GMAT prep mocks, I was consistently scoring between 47 to 51 in verbal. Even in Manhattan mocks, I mostly scored above V40.
I plan to give the GMAT one more shot in about 3 weeks.
Looking for tips on how to go about the same.
Thanks a lot!

Hi cygnus87.
Any idea why you missed more questions than usual on test day?
One thought I have is that, in your preparation, you learned things that apply more to the official practice tests than to GMAT Verbal in general. That type of outcome is common because so much of what's said about the GMAT is based on what appears on the official practice tests.
To get to V51 next time, you have to develop greater consistency, and you may need to fill some knowledge and skills gaps as well. One approach you could take is to practice as many Verbal topics as possible using the streaks method and shooting for E M H streaks of 20+. If you can get 20 hard questions correct in a row for each Verbal topic, you should be set to score V47+ on test day.
Any time a question breaks your streak, you would figure out why you missed it and address the issue. Then, you'd attempt the streak again.
To learn how the streaks method works, see the later sections of this post.

Thanks for the quick response Marty!
During the mocks, I was able to pace myself well but in the actual GMAT I was running against the clock in verbal. It could be due to test anxiety since I take verbal first. Hopefully the anxiety would be less the second time around.
Could you please elaborate on this bit? ‘you learned things that apply more to the official practice tests than to GMAT Verbal in general.’
Thanks for your suggestion on practicing the streaks method. I am a TTP student, and I did practice that for quant. I will apply it for verbal as well.
