Hi,
I gave GMAT twice last year. In both the attempts, my score was disappointing. Then, I scrutinized myself a lot and realized that being a non-native I don't have that command and natural instincts that should come naturally to me.
I started my journey again and began reading newspapers, articles, journals, novels etc to garner my skills. I completed one offline GMAT verbal course, which really helped me in gaining more commands on many grammar concepts. I observed that I am improving
. On attempting several questions on gmatclub, I realized I was able to crack many 700-800 level questions within 2 minutes. But later after practicing many CR, SC and RC questions, when I give mocks my verbal score still hover around 30s, less than 35.
I am still struggling what methods should I follow now that can really help in improving my score. Anyone who has been through such phase and adopted any strategy that helped them, I will be grateful if they can share. And anyone else who really think of any way that I can adopt that can help me in achieving a good verbal score, the effort will be appreciable.
Thanks.

Hi akshat_Cheetah,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How did you score on each of your Official GMATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) How long did you study for each attempt? How long have you studied for this current attempt?
3) What study materials have you used for each attempt?
4) Have you taken any practice CATs in the new, shorter format? How have you scored on EACH of those CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
6) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
7) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
8) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

3) Currently, I am following the study materials of my GMAT offline course, which I completed in March. And daily practicing questions from this great forum.
4) No, I have not given any of the CATs but I am planning to give in the near future; I have given Manhattan Gmat practice tests and my score juggles around 620-650
Goals-
1) Target Score- 750
