Hello everyone
Below are my official mock scores:
28-02-2021 - GMAT Prep 2 - 570 (Q48, V21)
19-03-2021 - GMAT Prep 1 - 540 (Q48, V18)
25-03-2021 - GMAT Prep 3 - 530 (Q48, V16)
I got 6 SC wrong 5 CR wrong and 11 RC wrong in the latest GMAT Prep mock from yesterday.
Starting mid February till 24-03-2021 took GMAT Linear tests from IMS and got below results. I don’t completely rely on below results because these are linear and non-adaptive tests but took them more as a reference to get used to the exam environment.
Exam 1 - 520 (Q33, V27)
Exam 2 - 580 (Q38, V31)
Exam 3 - 500 (Q28, V29)
Exam 4 - 590 (Q42, V28)
Exam 5 - 500 (Q29, V29)
Exam 6 - 670 (Q47, V33) 24-03-2021
In the official mocks, I always run out of time in verbal section and random guess last 5 questions on the other hand while trying to hurry from the beginning I end marking wrong answers. Both ways the results have been same for me.
I studied verbal from EGMAT going through all the video lectures at least thrice in the last 2 months. Made notes on SC concepts and best practices to approach CR questions. Practised questions from gmat club as well.
31st May is my deadline and a reason for my panic because I need to get a score of 600+ and submit before this date.
It looks to me that I need to get somewhere between V26 and V30 to reach my goal.
I already exhausted exam 1, 2 and 3 from my gmatprep account and need advise on how should I move forward?
Is it feasible to achieve my target score in the given timeline and what techniques should I implement/follow to not get disappointed again (GMAT Prep 3 result shattered my confidence in reading comprehension skills
Thank you.

Hi gabbi,
You can definitely improve your Verbal score if you do your prep in the right way. It's the approach on which you have to work. GMAT verbal is more about the methodology and the logical approach. Let me help you here.
I'm not sure how you approach the questions as of now. For example, the right way to solve SC questions as of now if to approach them from meaning stand-point. SC questions test your ability to convey the right meaning without any ambiguity. You might have often come across answer choices which are both grammatically correct and convey a logical meaning but are indeed incorrect. So, you need to understand the intended meaning the original sentence is trying to convey, identify errors if any and then eliminate answer choices which are either grammatically incorrect or which do not convey the intended meaning.
So, as you see, based on the purpose of the questions, you have to prepare accordingly. The same goes with CR as well. Most of the CR questions are based on one of the frameworks. So, if you know the framework and learn the guidelines for each framework, you can easily pre-think the missing link.
All in all, follow a more structured approach and focus on the process more than practicing questions. I'm not sure how you prepared till now but to suggest you in a better way, I would need a few more details about your GMAT prep such as
- your weak areas
- your approach towards solving questions
- were you able to score well in the practice quizzes?
Answers to these questions will help me guide you in a better way. You can write back to me or a better way would be to discuss the same over a call. I'll PM you the additional details. Meanwhile, you can get in touch with me using the below link.

Hi gabbi
It's absolutely POSSIBLE to improve score from V-16 to V-30 and we have a good number of stories of our students who have done it under the guidance of Dr.Sushma Jha (Verbal faculty).
However, what it takes much more than just practicing the material blindly. The process of improving the score starts with a diagnosis of the problem. The first thing that you need to do is COMPLETELY STOP referring to IMS material as it will help you worsen more than improve.
Secondly, You need to stick to only the official source when it comes to practicing Verbal.
Thirdly do it in a way it needs to be done. i.e. blindly solving the question will NOT improve your score but intelligently working on each section definitely WILL.
Start with SC section first because the section is very mechanical and can be improved significantly in short duration if the rules of sentence correction are learnt well. While learning, you also need to develop the aptitude to apply them when you come across a question that requires application of the learnt concept.
Then move to CR.
While dealing with CR and SC, you must practice 3-4 RC every day and understand the mistakes you made and why you made them. It will help you improve reading speed and comprehension of language in a very disciplined manner.
For crisp and effective guidance and diagnosis of your major areas to improve, you can consider taking a free demo session with Dr.Sushma jha and for that you just need to get in touch with me.
