Hi thakurarun85.
What appears to be going on is that your starting level of quant skill was much greater than your starting level of verbal skill, but you sought to prepare for quant and verbal in the same way. In other words, while simply practicing by using questions from the
OG was sufficient to get you to a high quant score, doing the same has not been sufficient to get you to a similar verbal score.
So, to increase your verbal score, you have to take a different approach, one that includes the following:
- You have to learn or review verbal concepts so that you have the foundational knowledge necessary for answering verbal questions.
- You have to develop or learn strategies that will reliably get you to the correct answers to verbal questions.
- You have to practice UNTIMED, rather than timed, to give yourself time to learn to see what's going on in verbal questions and arrive at correct answers. In other words, by doing sets of 36 verbal questions at test pace, you didn't give yourself time to learn and thus didn't develop strong verbal skills even though you did a high volume of questions.
