Improving Verbal - For Non Native English Speaker

Hello EMPOWERgmatRichC,

I am facing the same problems. Can you help us with a better strategy, please... (As I think we are facing same problems)

Studies:
1) I have studied for almost 10 months ( excluding two breaks, each lasted 1 month)
2) For Quant i studied manhattan series, gmatclub math book, official guides (10, 12, 13, and16)
For verbal:
SC: i studied Mnahattan SC guide, power score Sc bible, gmat club grammar book + officials
Cr : power score critical reasoning bible + officials
Rc: I studied only official
I also practiced from GMATCLUB, but i think that was a bad idea, as there are many unofficial and complicated/debatable issues.

I also practiced quant from gmat club tests.

3) I took official tests 2 times each, i only can remember my last attempt (3 moths ago). 700 (Q50, V32)
I took 1 free test from Manhattan a few days ago 670 (Q 45, V 36)
I free test from veritas prep 670 (Q 50, V 32)
I have taken many tests from GMAT Club, Quant scores range from 46 to 51, verbal from 26 to 31.
I took my 1st GMAT on 25th October,a few days after i got 700, and scored shaming 550 (Q47, V20)
My weakest section is RC, whenever I take a little more time on the 1st RC, my score falls rapidly. I am giving you an screen-shot.

Goals:
1)my goal score is 720+
2) I am planning to take gmat again on 1 week of MAy, 2017.
3) July august I guess ( I am not well informed/I know little about the perfect time of applying)
4) Babson college, Boston, University of Oklahoma (Price), University of Texas--Dallas.

Now I have included LSAT CR and RC on my study list. I have planned to cover 600-700 CR questions and 80-100 Rc from LSAT questions.
I am trying to follow RC strategy suggested by GMATPREPNOW, and by veritas prep.
For CR i have included manhattan in my list.
OG 17 (including review) has also been included.
I have also collected GMAT prep question (previous questions I guess)

I lack RC skills. i take too much time understanding a sentence, or relating to sentences together. I was very weak at verbal, now I think i am improving.

Hope you can help us improve my score with a better strategy.
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes

Hi nahid007,

You've provided a lot of valuable information about your situation - and there are a variety of things to discuss (which I'll be happy to do). Rather than have that discussion here though (in Manish99's thread), I suggest that you start your own thread. That way, the entire discussion can stay focused on your specific circumstances and we can avoid criss-crossing conversations in this thread. Once your post is up, you can PM me and I'll respond in your thread.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
