Hey mate,

a couple of things that might help you improving your V score into the 40s

1. Check out the SC specific threads on this forum, some of them (generally those with a lot of kudos) are very helpful

2. Listen to some of the videos on the YT chanel from Veritas, Magoosh and GmatNinja

3. Maybe check out the link in my signature, it adresses some verbal topics in general.

If any points are unclear please feel free to reach out.

All the best for your prep my friend,
Chris

Hi  Deepanshi  D,

How to Improve from V35/36 to V40? 
Your current score of V36 suggests a good grasp over concepts and their applications. Going forward from here would require you to identify your weaknesses and plugging those gaps. Here is a 3 step process to improve to V40:
 • Evaluate topic level preparedness 
• Isolate weaknesses and improve upon them 
• Track Improvement and repeat the process until you achieve your desired scores  
 
 Evaluating Topic Level Preparedness & Isolating Weaknesses 
 •   Click here   to take a Verbal Ability Quizz to evaluate your topic level preparedness 
• Check ‘Skill Data’ section to Isolate the topics in which you are weak
