Hi everybody,
I'm french and English non native speaker.
I have troubles with timing in verbal section. During this section, I used to read twice the sentence for SC et twice the stimulus in CR. Thus I used to guess the five last questions in a row at the end.
Here my last scores :
CAT 1 E GMAT Manhattan 5/6/2012 560 42 Math
CAT 1 E GMAT Manhattan 5/6/2012 560 25 Verbal
CAT 2 E GMAT Manhattan 5/8/2012 600 43 Math
CAT 2 E GMAT Manhattan 5/8/2012 600 30 Verbal
Gmat Prep 1 14/05/12 540 47 Math
Gmat Prep 1 14/05/12 540 19 Verbal
Gmat Prep 2 18/05/12 600 44 Math
Gmat Prep 2 18/05/12 600 27 Verbal
I need at least V36 in Verbal. Some advices from Club Gmatters?
Teoh

You mention timing as your main challenge, but that may just be a consequence of something deeper. Why are you rereading the question stem? Is it due to nerves or (forgive me for asking) do you have some trouble fully absorbing the material in English?
I see that you have been quite busy with practice tests. While these are good for tracking performance or improvement overtime, four CATs in twelve days is probably too much. Doing so many might cause fatigue and adversely affect one's performance.
I also notice that you did not mention any guidebooks or the OG. Have you incorporated any books into your studies?

Hi, thank you for your reply.
My books :
OG 12th
Kaplan Verbal Workbook
Kaplan Gmat Premier
Manhattan Books especially for Quant
Powerscore CR Bible.
I noticed that I'm used to read a text and answer the first question in 7 minutes that is too long I think.
In the last weeks, I was concentrated more in SC and CR and so I didn't practice the RC section.
I reschedule my gmat test on July 2nd.
