Need help on Verbal.. Low score in Verbal ..GMAT in 10 days 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.
