Hi tzeremakos,

The Verbal section of the GMAT is as consistent and predictable as the Quant section is, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. However, doing lots of practice questions is usually NOT the most effective way to learn the necessary patterns and Tactics. For all of that, you need to work through the necessary lessons/tutorials/Course/etc. and THEN use your knowledge to attack CR prompts and hone your skills. From what you describe, it sounds like you honestly don't know what to do with a CR prompt when you read it and THAT is something that needs to be dealt with before you improve in any other area of CR.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
