How to improve my verbal score from 36 to 40+ within 2 weeks [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 27 Nov 2021, 13:47
Hi,

I took an exam and my verbal score is 36. I did 3 practice exams in the past two weeks, and my verbal scores were 41, 38, and 35. I have an exam on June 5th (in two weeks) that I registered months ago. I would like to hear some feedback and recommendations on how to improve my verbal and what I should focus on.

Here is a breakout of how many questions I got wrong for each subsection from those practice exams:
1. 5/15 41- SC 3, CR 2, RC 3
2. 5/16 38- SC 4, CR 2, RC 3
3. 5/20 35- SC 5, CR 2, RC 3

I feel like I’m okay at CR. RC takes too long to improve, so I should focus on SC. I’ve spent more time on SC in the past, and improved my verbal score from 30ish to 36. However, i would like to get higher than 40 next time. I’m a non-native speaker.

An update, i didn't get 40 but 38. which is fairly consistent with practice exams.

Hi
After a tremendous success with Quant, TTP's Verbal might just give you the 'edge' that you are looking for. It sort of has a rigorous study plan with all the level of tests one needs to master Verbal skills.

You can try their 5 day free course and see the results. :)
Cheers!
