Hey
gmat1102Thanks for reaching out on the forum, it feels good to see you coming out and asking for advice.
I can see that you putting too much focus on practicing questions but not on learning the concepts. GMAT Verbal is not as much about practice as it about the concepts and its application.
This is a major mistake because if you start your preparation by solving questions, you are skipping to practicing questions without learning the concepts. This is a trial-and-error based preparation methodology which cause a two-fold problem:
1. It increases your preparation time by up-to 5X.
2. You tend to miss out on concepts even after solving many questions.
We have helped more than 25,000 people in last 1 year in achieving their target of a good GMAT score. Maximum people attributed their success to the structured process which we suggested them. I suggest you break your preparation into 3 stages and follow the below plan:
Stage – 1 --> Learn the concepts
Stage – 2 --> Cement the concepts by practicing a sub-section in Isolation
Stage – 3 --> Become test ready (practicing all the sub-sections together)
You have devoted a lot of time in Stage - 3, but Stage 1 and 2 form the foundation for Stage - 3. You should spend some time in Stage 1 and go through the concepts where you are continuously faltering in your mocks. This will make sure that you are leaving no concept un-touched.
