At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi,
I have been working on SC for quite a long time, and quite comfortable with most of the rules that are tested. When it comes to application while taking test, I do not seem to perform well. Over all verbal is not improving ( except CR) as it should be. I scored 600 on gmatprep- Q 50 and Verbal 21. I think even while taking test I do not feel confident on verbal section. When I come to verbal section somehow I loose my focus, and after a while I start feeling that I am not performing well, and it deteriorarte the situation further.
If I do not have time pressure or when I am not taking test I see 85% as tick rate. I think I lack confidence on Verbal, and somehow not able to give my best. I am taking Gmat on 18th May,and don't want to postpone it.
After taking test, I do not feel very +ve..... It would be great if you can suggest something that I can implement to improve my score in verbal.
Thanks...

Are you a native speaker? If not, you need to surround yourself w/English everyday. Try to read WSJ, NYT, the Economist everyday. These publications use words and sentence structures that are similar to GMAT. It'll get you into that mind frame of thinking like GMAT people. You only need to take 1 hr everyday, 30 minutes if you don't have time, reading online. And it's free. Your RC will improve greatly after this. I didn't even study the verbal section my second time and my verbal went up A LOT, which I attribute to my reading everyday.
Do you keep an error log? if not, you need to start one asap. Do a practice test, and check the error log to see if there're concepts you consistently miss. Concentrate on those.
On SC, break down the components of a long sentence and simplify the sentence into its most basic form. I found that helped me in eliminating wrong choices.

I read MLIC notes, and I found them quite comprehensive. I have also gone through Manahattan SC. I have also created the error log. So far what I have observed that during test, I forget to apply the SC rules or I do not apply them properly because of time pressure. I think main issue could be that I can not make the right picture of sentence in first reading and that leads to inability to analyse the sentence further. But if time permits I can read the same sentence again and again and can analyse the issue better. I find it hard to apply the rules mechanically.
I am not a native speaker. In addition, I did my studies in non english medium until 12th standard. I feel quite OK with quant as I can grasp information as I read the question ( by jotting key information). But when it comes to verbal, I find it difficult. I do not feel very confident about verbal, and when I come to something that I find little hard, I get a message that I am not doing it properly, or I can not do it with in stipulated time. As advised, I will start dedicating my time on WSJ and other suggested material to remove this -ve feeling.
I guess in my case solution is to gain the faith that I can perform well in verbal also, and few scenario that give boost to to this thinking.
