How to proceed after i got V10 Q51 in mocks

My target score for verbal is 45+.

Probably fair to say there are some fundamentals to plug. Once you improve, it may be good to take anything V42+ as a win given the very high Quant score you can potentially combo with it for a 760+ score.

past V45 student tip:

"I would say the simplest thing is to read and understand what the passage is saying for any question type. You are guessing if you lack understanding. Reading carefully and slowly and digesting the information is actually the fastest / most efficient way to go about verbal. You will end up losing out on accuracy AND time if you try to skim, or you read faster than you should. You will miss info and have to rescan, even more inaccurately because of the time crunch.

This is especially helpful for CR. On hard CRs I would spent like 2 min on the passage to figure out what exactly it’s saying and I’m being asked before even looking at the answers. Once I had a solid understanding eliminating / finding iffy answers was very simple."

Not sure about the predictive abilities of Princeton review test.

Might be a good idea to give an official mock test.

Hi desertEagle

Official mocks are the most reliable ones as they are believed to be the closest to the actual GMAT exam. You should probably consider to take an official mock to analyse your current prep status in a better way and then plan the road ahead accordingly.

A drop from V28 to V10 suggests something really unusual happened. Based upon your message construction, it seems unlikely that is your representative score. I am happy to discuss it on a call as well.

Nice work on quant.

50 hours and 100 questions is not a lot of verbal prep, although that fact does not explain the score drop you experienced.

A possible explanation for the drop is that the questions you saw on the Princeton Review test may have been flawed. So, that score may not be accurate. If you want to get a more accurate sense of where you stand, you could take an official practice test.

That said, if your score goal is V45+, then you need to get 90+ percent of verbal questions correct to achieve your score goal. So, if you are not getting close to 100 percent of medium and hard verbal questions correct when you practice, then you know you aren't at your score goal. So, taking a practice test may be a waste of time and and a test.

All the same, if you really want to see what kind of progress you have made, take an official practice test. If your score hasn't increased, then you know that you need to change how you have been preparing for verbal.

Dear desertEagle,
I also read the Manhattan guides, SC Grail, and CR Bible, but these books did not bring me the visible result; the issue is that reading the materials and learn from them are two different points. Thus, to improve my verbal score I have started to employ the TTP service, because its well structured study plan and unique approach already helped me to improve my quant score. I have not consummated the Verbal part yet, but what do I say is that its curriculum, not only covers all general materials but also provides step by step guide to hone the acquired knowledge. Furthermore, I have found answers to some SC questions that were not disclosed in the Manhattan guide such as delayed subject, inter and outer list etc.
