Hi,
I have scored 660 (Q50, V30) in GMAT. I want to retake GMAT and my target score is 720+. I have gone through the basic OG, OG verbal and quant , GMAT prep, Manhattan SC etc. I am confident about my quant section as I have continuously scored 50-51 in GMAT prep and then in actual GMAT. I am worried about my Verbal score. I am facing time management issues in this section and low accuracy in sentence correction questions. I got panicked due to less time available for last 10-15 questions in my actual GMAT, leading to this poor score.
Please help me how can I get better in verbal. I am planning to go through Manhattan SC again. Any Suggestion on this.
What other resources should I refer to overcome these problems and achieve my target score. I am planning to retake in one and half month.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Hi mayankgupta01,
First off, a 660/Q50 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary.
1) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
2) When are you planning to apply?
From what you've described, you used a 'book-heavy' study approach; many Test Takers who study in this way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular scoring level and that is likely what has happened to you. If you do decide to retest, then you'll probably benefit from investing in some non-book resources and learning/practicing some new Tactics.

How much time are you normally left with towards the end? If the situation is something like 15 questions in less than 20 minutes, then fixing that would be my first priority. The effort that you're going to put in over the next 1.5 months will help, but you also need to have a basic time management strategy in place that prevents such situations from arising in the first place. Don't go in trying to get the first 20-25 correct without considering the impact doing that will have on your accuracy towards the end.
