Hi,
Thanks in advance for going through the post and a special thanks for helping me out.
I am currently preparing for GMAT. I am at 51 in Quants, 8 in IR, 5.5-6 in AWA (I guess).
But I am struck at 34 in verbal (Non-native speaker). My score kind of oscillates between 33 & 34 constantly and this is happening for the past 5 weeks, despite practicing 100's of questions.
I have my official GMAT exam on July 8th, 2019. I am looking to improve my score to V-37,38,39 (I think it is possible if I do things right, but I do not know "how". NOTE: I once scored V38, but then fell back to V34). I clearly know that I am missing an important piece that allows me not to cross the V34 mark.
Scenario - My performance is as follows.
1) I get either ~50% of all the questions right in the verbal section.
(OR)
2) I get ~80% in CR, ~60% in SC, ~30% in RC.
If I concentrate on RC and do well, It still lands me on the same V34 as the other two parts, namely SC and CR, are pulling me down.
What should I do now?

Hi
I completely understand what you are facing. Basically it's the time crunch that is pulling you down. When you do well in RC, you spend more time and hence give less time to SC and cr.
Being a non native speaker, even I take time I. Reading and understanding RC. I compensate my time by solving sc quickly.
I recommend you to learn concepts in SC so that you can increase your speed and break v34 barrier.
PS:- if it helps, press kudos
