Hi,
I took GMAT on 3rd January 2021 and scored 690 (Q49, V34). This is my second attempt. In my previous attempt, I scored 660 with a split of Q44 V36. With a somewhat over-represented profile -Indian Male, Work profile - Manufacturing sector -R&D, 4.5 years of WE in one of the leading engineering firms (Non-fortune 500 though))- average acads, I'm planning to re-take GMAT and targeting 750+. I can try to max out on my quants but the biggest thorn is my SC skills. I get nearly 9 out of 12-13 questions wrong. In my previous attempts, I sought to push my GMAT purely with quant and never studied verbal. I have started with manhattan SC now and planning to give a sincere attempt at SC and CR.
My target schools are 1) Ross 2)Johnson 3)McCombs 4)HEC 5)NUS 6)CBJS 7)Said
The US schools in my list do seem to have a relatively higher GMAT score weightage, referring to an earlier post by Narenn - 'Impact of GMAT Score on Admission Chances at Top Business Schools!'
the following are my questions :
a) Is it possible to get a 7 point increase in verbal in 45 days? - I'm planning to spend 3 hrs every day.
b) Are chances in these target schools (in R3/R4) realistic if I score above 750?
It would be very nice if experts could pitch in and comment on these two questions. Thanks

Hi Bashyam! Since you mention SC as your specific area of concern, thought I would mention that our sentence correction book Sentence Correction Nirvana is perhaps the only book that offers a score improvement guarantee, and is especially designed for non-native speakers.
After reading the book twice (yes! it's an academic book, and so must be read twice in all seriousness, to reinforce the concepts), you will start looking forward to solving SC questions!
The book is available on Flipkart and Amazon.in. You might want to refer to these sites, to also read testimonials of how readers have benefited.
You can als go thru this post on how Soubhik, who scored V51 (overall score 780), vouches for our book.
If you want to sample a chapter before deciding to go ahead with our book, please PM me your mail-id (along with the chapter that you would like to sample) and I will be happy to send that chapter to you by mail. In addition, the entire Grammar section of the book is also available for free preview at pothi.
