Experts; Hi,
I have been preparing for GMAT for the past one month. My exam is scheduled on 17th May, however my scores in verbal are at the lower side. I took a test today and scored almost in the same range as the diagnostic test (29-32).
My quant scores are also not that decent (45-50, targeting 51) but i know my weakness areas in quant and confident on improving upon them.
I used Powerscore to study CR, MGMAT & Aristotle for SC
Order of correctness efficiency in verbal: as CR (~70%)>RC (~55%)>SC (30-50%)
Can someone help me in planning my next 25 days (Till 30th June) where i can improve my verbal score and track the progress as well. I know a lot of you have faced similar challenge/situation.
Determined to score 42+ in Verbal. I am 24 Hrs available and currently living,eating and sleeping GMAT.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The best way to improve your performance in verbal section is to drill down deep is each problem set:
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.

Hi mynamegoeson,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores. Since you've beens studying for just 1 month - and it sounds like you plan to take the GMAT after 2 months of study - then you might be limiting your potential score improvement. This is meant to say that you might want to consider a longer study timeframe.
From your post, I'm hoping that you can clarify a few details. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) Have you used any other study materials besides the ones that you listed?
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
3) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (with the Essay and IR sections)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT (do you have an Official Test scheduled?)?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
