Hey all!
i have taken gmat twice
1) 570(Q49 V22) I took it 14th september,2020. get very nervous and blacked out on verbal. then recollected in quants nd did well. i cancelled this score.
2) 650(Q48 v31) i took it on 15th march, 2021. The test day anxiety was better, though I did get a bit distracted on my verbal, couldnt focus fully.
before my second attempt i also took MGMAT with the following scores:
1)590
2)600
3)640
4)660
5)640
6)600
i feel i dont have a consistent approach towards verbal. Verbal is also the key issue, i dont know anymore what to do for it.
i have been thinking to find a better platform for it
please suggest!

Hi Muskan,

Lack of proper structure can be the factor for scoring low on GMAT. The good thing is that you have improved your Verbal score a little and at the same time, maintained the same momentum in Quant. So, you are capable of scoring well on quant. It's just that you have to tweak your approach a little for Verbal.

GMAT Verbal is more about the methodology and the logical approach. Each module in the verbal section has to be approached in a certain way. For example, the process of solving CR questions involves a lot of things such as reading the argument, identifying the premise and the conclusion, understanding the question statement, pre-thinking in the right direction and finally eliminating the incorrect answer choices on solid grounds. If you are struggling with CR questions, it means that you are not doing one or more steps in the process in the right way.

Before suggesting you the plan of action, I would like to know a few more details about your GMAT preparation.
  • The way you prepared till now, as in, did you just focus on the concepts and practicing questions or did you do anything extra?
  • Your weak areas ( If you are struggling specifically with any module)
  • Your approach towards solving questions of SC, CR and RC

This information will help me understand your concerns and guide you in a better way. You can write back to me here or a better way would be discuss the same over a call. You can use the below link to get in touch with me.
