Need help on Verbal.. Low score in Verbal ..GMAT in 10 days [#permalink] New post   03 Aug 2014, 20:30

Hello, I have my GMAT on August 14th 2014.

My Mock Test Scores below:

GMAT Prep 1 - 400(Q35,V12)
MGMAT test1 - 470(Q39,V17)
MGMAT test2 - 530(Q37,V26)
GMAT prep 2 - 510(Q44,V17)

As you can see from above scores my Quant score is improving in every mock but my verbal consistently low in all mocks.

After reviewing mocks I realized that my performance is very low in all Verbal sections. I always take more time for verbal questions and end up selecting a wrong choice.

My prep materials for Verbal are eGMAT verbal online and GMAT Club material for Verbal. What I should do differently and what approach I have to follow to improve my score in verbal sections? Please help me.

Thanks, Srikanth

Srikanth,

You should get in touch with E-gmat and see if you need to re-schedule the test. I see lot of gaps for you in verbal. E-gmat has done fairly well and have had positive review by many students on GC

I don't think you have used the resources well.

May be you need to re-look at your strategy for approaching verbal questions.

I have rescheduled my GMAT today from August 14th to October 29th(which is next available date for me) due to low score in GMAT.
Also my Verbal Online subscription is expiring on August 15th .How I will be able to retain subscription till October end? Will I be charged extra?

Thanks, Srikanth.
