Hi alok190690

Do you know which questions in the verbal section you have a tough time with? You may want to focus on those types of question when you start prepping. If you already know which questions you have a tough time on, let me know, and I can try and provide some additional tips for you.

To be true,I actually dont know...but yes my RCs are never more than 50 % correct.SC seems little bit easy to me but i take 2 mins to solve even SC problems.CR sometimes seems ok and sometimes i am completely screwed but even ever i read answers i always feel that i just missed it.

Hi alok,

You may want to take a couple of simulation tests to see if you can identify any more specific patterns. The thread that bb linked you to (how to improve verbal) is a helpful thread, so take a look at that as well!

With regards to RC questions, our tutors recommend that you alter your approach to reading passages. Instead of reading the passages to simply absorb the material, you should also have an active approach when reading. Ask yourself the following questions when reading the RC passages:

What is the main idea of this passage?
What is the author's position and tone?
What is the structure of the argument?

Start reading publications such as the NY Times, Businessweek, the Economist. Read the oped section, as they often use a language level similar with and are about the same length as the GMAT RC questions.

Here are some additional posts that we have on our site that discuss RC:

https://gmat.economist.com/blog/verbal/ ... -questions

I hope this helps. If you do decide to retake the exam, best of luck!
