Hi all members of this club. I have to get 550 from Gmat until June! I’m not a native speaker so my problem is Verbal section. I tried to study to memorize words but there are many words and I can’t motivate myself with this way. Also , I cannot finish all section in time , usually 6-10 questions remain. Can you advice me a efficient way to improve my Verbal section. Especially, Reading comprehension questions take me long and I cannot change it in this short time. Can I? My quant section is always around 35. How many questions I have to answer correctly in Verbal or how important last 10 questions? Is there anybody who had same experience before or having now?

Wait a second.
What do you mean by "memorise words"?

GMAT Does not have a VOCABULARY section like GRE!
Make sure you know all the sections before getting down to study for the exam.

I think you have enough time to improve in both verbal and quant. Start as soon as possible and don't look for shortcuts (especially in RC).

calm down yourself.
just do 200 questions and read the answer. Then, you soon see that questions in gmat have similar patterns. I bet you will get 600-650 by June unless you do not have time to practice gmat.
The best way is to use apps.
Do reliable sources such as Kaplan OG, Manhattan and bible powerscore

And, if you like my post, give me kudos. Thanks.

Quick suggestion: As you are not native speaker and verbal is a trouble, Above everything Start READING for 1 hour minimum everyday. Read University Journals, Articles and nytimes, newyorker, economist, HBR etc. Start this as early as possible and a lot of pain and stress would be gone before you're troubled with these :)
