Gaurav,
I am a
MGMAT student as well. Currently I am struggling with my verbal. What did you do to push your Verbal score from 34 to 38?
Dear Friend, thanks for your message...And an interesting question, because I had not evaluated my own performance in the tests, till the time one of our fellow warriors asked me for the breakdown...Anyways, you can follow the following simple steps to improve your verbal score:
1) List the three sections based on your priority - in my case I took RC extremely seriously, then the CR and on the last spot was SC.
2) Select source for your study
For RC - OG12 of course!, 3000 RC (amazing stuff)
For CR -
OG 12, 1000 CR (only the GMAT tests, don't waste your time in LSAT questions),
Official Guide for CR (many questions do overlap with
the official guide), GMAT prep CR - download it from
gmat-prep-critical-reasoning-collection-106783.htmlFor SC - 1000 SC (please do all of them!!), do go through the
MGMAT SC,
OG 12
3) Look into your schedule ad put in some real dedicated efforts to practice these resources
Now, the key point here is that do not try to pace yourself in the start - just try to be accurate, you will have problems in the beginning but with time you will surely get familiar with the question types, formats etc.
BOTTOMLINE - Focus on the logic, timing will tune itself with time(Trust me!!)
Finally, forums are a wonderful resource - use them wisely (GMAT Club forums have helped me a lot!!), and yes
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!! - Stay blessed and work hard!!P.S. - Let's help and motivate each other, who knows the guy you are helping might turn out to be your future classmate (pun-intended
