Mock Verbal Tests

Question

Hey everyone.

I am looking for mock gmat verbal tests, 36 questions in 65 minutes. My intent is to gauge how I perform in the limitation of time, to practice and seek methods to improve my speed with accuracy.

Can anyone share any relevant sources (preferably free but not necessarily) that I can use?

Thank you. 
Vidur

You might try the gmat club quiz in which you can see the analytics mentioned above.

Yes, you can give GMATClub mocks a try. Others would be Manhattan, Veritas, ExpertsGlobal.

I don't think they have separate Verbal standalone mocks. But you can always choose to give verbal first in those mocks and skip the quant part. I guess Veritas will still provide you with a verbal score.

Hi Vidur,

While I understand why you are interested in that type of Verbal practice, taking an individual section of the GMAT - outside of the context of taking the FULL EXAM under realistic Test-like conditions that match-up with how you will take the official GMAT - is NOT a great way to measure your skills (as doing so eliminates many of the factors that can impact your performance on Test Day).

The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, but retaking a CAT that you've already taken is NOT a realistic way to assess your skills - since you will likely see some 'repeat' questions that you have already faced. Unfortunately, seeing even a couple of repeats can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all appear to be better than they actually are). Thankfully, the CATs from Kaplan, MGMAT and Veritas are all 'close enough' to the real thing that they will provide you with a relatively realistic score assessment (assuming that you correctly take the CAT in a realistic fashion that matches the parameters that you will face when you take the Official GMAT) - so you can use any NEW CATs from any of those sources next.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Vidur,

Before diving into taking timed quizzes, it's important to learn the right methodology and practice a few questions to solidify that methodology.  And while learning the methodology, you don't have to worry about time . The focus should be on getting the process right. Once you are confident about the methodology, you can start taking timed quizzes to get used to solving under timed constraint.

Having said that, we can get in touch over a zoom call and solve a few questions together. This will help me understand your approach towards solving questions and identify the flaw if there's any. Based on that, we can decide whether you are ready to take timed quizzes or need to work more on the methodology. Because without learning the methodology, there's no point moving forward. So, if you wish to get in touch, you can use the below link to schedule a call.

Hi Vidur, I can totally connect with you. My first Verbal score was 27 and then I was confident about my conceptual knowledge. But little I did know about the strategies used to solve verbal questions. I started approaching questions in a different way and I started seeing the results. In fact, I have made a couple of debriefs of my journey. You can go through them to know a few tips and how differently I approached my prep. Debrief of my journey from 570 to 720 https://gmatclub.com/forum/my-journey-f ... l#p2648110 Scoring a perfect CR 51 ( 97 percentile ) from being an amateur in CR https://gmatclub.com/forum/scoring-a-pe ... l#p2526853 Do not just focus on practicing questions. Instead, I would suggest you to focus on the process, choose a good resource, learn the right strategies and then practice questions. I personally used GMATWhiz online course. All the best
