Hi all,
I'm relatively new to this forum, but have been soaking in some solid info from here. This is actually my first post. My goal is to get a score higher than 700 and you can see my progress I made so far in the file attached. I'm wondering if I can get some specific advice based on my current situation.
I'm a non native speaker and have spent about 80 hours into my prep and will be giving the exam on August 12th (exactly 3 more months to prep). I've made some progress on Quant as you can see but little progress has been made on verbal based on my latest score from earlier today. Manhattan's quant is much harder than gmatprep's and Manhattan's verbal grading seems to be more lenient than gmatprep's. As in I can get more questions wrong on Manhattan and still get a higher verbal score.
As far as verbal resources go, I read through Manhattan's SC 6th edition guide and honestly felt much better on SC, but there's a lot of room for improvement still. I've tried the egmat's free trial and read through some articles from egmat that have been circulating on this forum. You can see my % accuracy for the past 5 CATs for verbal as well.
I was able to get more questions right on the 5th CAT than the 2nd one (28 vs 31) but I got a score 3 points lower. Not particularly worried about the specific score at the moment but more concerned about not seeing improvements. I guess my question is what's the best approach from here?
I'm also open to online courses but not sure which one would be best.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions

Hi Caden111 ,
Raising your score from early 600's to 700+ will require some effort and 3 months of dedicated study should suffice. Firstly analyze how did you perform in the verbal sub-sections and then accordingly you can dedicate time.
Also, accuracy is not a reliable indicator of ability in the GMAT since two people with similar accuracy might have vast differences in their scores depending on the questions they got correct/incorrect.
-SC - e-GMAT, Manhattan SC. It is the easiest sub-section in verbal and can be improved in the least amount of time. Since you have already have used MGMAT SC guide, you can try e-GMAT SC course.
-CR - Powerscore, e-GMAT
-RC - Manhattan or Veritas reading strategy - RC is the most difficult section to improve.
- Stick only to GMAT Prep tests - there are 6 of them. Use other test prep company practice tests only for additional practice.
-e-GMAT's Scholaranium - a decent tool for additional practice.
For Quant , since you are already at a pretty decent level, you should try the GMAT Club tests.
Hope this helps!!
