Hi,
I have been reading this forum alott and it has really helped me. GmatClub-you rock!!!!:-D I wanted advice on my preperation. I am a BBA student and into my last year of graduation. I have been studying for the GMAT since the past 2 months. I have studied for 250 hours(i had a lot of sources to study the same thing so alott of overlapping) . I have studied all the Manhattan guides thoroughly . I started at 580( Manhattan free test) and 690(Gmat pen-paper test). Last week, I gave 4 Kaplan GMAT Cats that come free with Premier 2014 book, all in the same week cuz my account was expiring. Here are my scores:
Cat 1- 670 (84 PERCENTILE) Quant-50(92 percenitle, 26/37 correct) , Verbal-31(58 percentile, 24/41 correct)
Cat 2- 640 (73 PERCENTILE) Quant-49(85 percenitle,20/37 correct), Verbal-31(58 percentile, 22/41 correct)
Cat 3- 630 (72 PERCENTILE) Quant-49(85 percenitle, 24,37 correct), Verbal-31(58 percentile, 18/41 correct)
Cat 4- 630 (72 PERCENTILE) Quant-49(85 percenitle, 22/37 correct), Verbal-31(58 percentile, 20/41 correct) : Had to skip 8 RC questions-not bec of timing, but because my account was expiring in a few minutes.
All the questions that i got wrong were of high level of difficulty and few silly mistakes. As you can see I am really bad at Verbal. I was a little shocked because i have completed all the OG verbal with 82% accuracy. My target is 720.
My questions are :
1. How can I improve verbal? I have a Magoosh account. Is magoosh good for verbal spcifically? I also heard that gmatclub tests are good but I am like broke now. Are they really worth it?
2. Is a quant score of 49-50 good enough for 720 (on kaplan)? So that i can concentrate more on verbal.
3. Keeping in mind where i am at now and my target score of 720, should i book the date exactly one month from now?(Because that is pretty much the only one available in the next 2 months)
I am stuck. Your advice will be of great help. Thanks.

For improving your verbal score, spending bucks is not the only solution!
Try the following:
While focusing on specific verbal topics, look out for threads on GMAT club for the relevant topic, try understanding the concept and solve the questions on threads. Even if you get the right answer, surely read on the explanations given by members. You may end up imbibing new concepts or strategies.
The Magoosh course has good reviews. Try understanding topics or you can try free videos by Egmat and others. They are pretty good.
Books
MGMAT SC may be a good catch
Powerscore CR Bible is another good option.
But remember the time you have in hand!
Read through CR, SC and RC forums to get more practice problems with explanations by users.
On scheduling your GMAT, well nobody can tell what is the perfect time.. but try to work on your problem areas for a week or two and give another mock CAT, it may help you gauge better, if your ready for your dream score or not.

Hi,
In regards to the verbal, hopefully the following information will help:
I recommend "English Grammar in Use" (intermediate and advanced levels).
Please be aware that almost all grammar books tend to be exercise-oriented and often go into much more detail than what the GMAT tests. In addition, many grammar books do not deal with certain sentence structure issues (e.g. dangling modifiers). You need to look for something that can help in that regard too, or simply fill that gap with a proper course such as ours. You need to cross-reference what is on the GMAT with the book you get. But "Grammar in Use" is probably the best grammar self-study book available.
Please remember that in order to beat the Sentence Correction section, you need to know the grammar and the techniques, AND how such grammar is applied in the GMAT itself.
Sincerely,
Evan
