Need verbal guidence, especially building foundation [#permalink] New post   16 Dec 2019, 10:23
Hi,

I have been a while since I joined gmatclub.
I am looking for a complete concept of verbal.
I took gmat exam 3 times - 480(v3, q47), 490(v5, q47), 490(v3, q48) - 5 years ago right after my bachelor graduation. I gave up going to MBA and started working, but recently I have been thinking about going to MBA.
I have preparing GMAT since april. So far I went through MGMAT 1-8, OG, OG quant, OG verbal. Moreover, I read study plan 2019 from GMAT club and changed my preparation method by starting to build verbal foundation. then I covered GMAT club ultimate grammar book, MGMAT SC, Google, and other advanced grammar books. However I still feel that I didn't improve at all because I sometimes do not understand the sentence meaning, even when I am doing error log, I do not know some grammar concepts, or structure. I feel like I do not know some grammatical concept.
It would be appreciated if someone give me an advice where to find complete concept, or what is my weak point. Where should I more focus on?
BTW: my target score is 700+

Hi Enkhhulan ..
I am sorry to hear that you did not got the desired score. As you have gone through many books, why don't you look for an online course or personal tutoring? I would suggest personal tutoring for Verbal if you are in hurry. Surely, it will cost you more than online course but it is worth spending the money. Another way is to take live coaching from institutes in your nearby area.

Hi leadership,
Thank you for your advice.
Since my verbal score is extremely low, I gave myseft sometime to study. I'm planning to take the test on May 2020.
I really want to get solid foundation with well designed planning. Otherwise I may end up with low score on the test.

Hi, If you want to improve your GMAT score, this YouTube channel might help you. In my mind, it is hands down the best free GMAT resource out there, with the best explanations I have seen:

Hi Enkhhulan ..
You have enough time to attend a live course nearby. Keep checking your improvement from time to time. I hope you will overcome this situation.

WTH?

Really? It is a freaking text to speech engine reading the questions and explanations. And this question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOseohsskUc is taken from GMAT Club Tests: https://gmatclub.com/forum/m03-183612.html

Are you the person behind this? If you are, i suggest you STOP!
