Can somebody give me a way to improve my score in verbal?
Back ground : Last week I have appeared for the test and was able to score just 24 in verbal. I have used only
og to prepare. I am seriously facing problems to deal RC and CR. It takes a lot of time to solve questions on RC and CR.
I have being preparing from last 4 months. I think there is some loop holes in my preparation but I could not find a way to overcome it.
For SC my percent rate to score correct is just over 50%. How do I improve it further?
I believe if i get a little guidance I can develop it quickly.
What sources do I have to take up to improve it further to score more than 40 in verbal?
Also Can some body provide some details on test series that I must take before I appear for the final test.
I plan to give the exam on last of Jan 2018.
Thanking you in advance.

GMAT Club Forum mobile appHi anirbandatta27,
You should solidify your concepts first. It’s a good thing you have taken a GMAT test. You can now know your weaknesses and work on them. I believe you may benefit from taking a GMATPREP course. If you are willing, there are some great GMAT prep companies that can help you with your preparation.
Also for verbal, I would highly encourage you to consider
e-gmat verbal online or the
e-gmat verbal live course. They are both amazing courses especially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the
e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in both the courses is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market. You can easily track your progress in that you can identify your strengths and analyze and improve on your weak areas.
You can also try out the
MGMAT guides they are phenomenal and cover the entire syllabus really well. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in quant; a subscription to
GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them. Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP,
Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have a good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practise tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
Further, I would also encourage you to purchase the latest version of
OG and the Quant and verbal review for some great additional practice. Here is a link that will help you with your decision.

Lastly, you can check out a very interesting article by Mike McGarry from
Magoosh detailing a 3 month study plan
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-g ... -students/. You will find it very helpful as it gives out a study plan as per your needs.
Hope this helps. All the best.
