I gave my first official practice test and got a 720 (Q49 V39). My target score is 740+ and I have about 1.5 months for giving the actual exam. Initially, I struggled with quant a fair bit, so I was working on quant slightly more than verbal. I've been using the TTP for quant. I have exhausted all the GMAT prep and OG questions for both verbal and quant. What other resources can I use to get a better verbal score? OR should I just continue reviewing my mistakes and doing mocks until my actual exam?

The online only question banks available through the MBA website may be worth checking out. The Focus Edition prep when it comes out may also have some fresh RC and CR questions you can leverage. Purchasing Official Mocks 3-6 would also be a solid choice, though you may want to save one or two in case you retake for any reason.

All the best hitting 740+. Fair to say a V40+ would help open more potential combos to hit that target.

How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?

Hi Uhfra,

Have you taken only one official practice test? I ask because you also say that you've "exhausted all the GMAT prep... questions for both verbal and quant". If by "GMAT prep" you mean the official practice tests, you may want to consider taking some (good) nonofficial tests as well.

Hi Uhfra.

The TTP Verbal course is super comprehensive, and the Verbal practice questions on TTP are solid. So, you could use the Verbal side of TTP alongside the Quant portion to ace GMAT Verbal.

Also, to ensure that your Verbal prep is effective, you could read the following post to learn exactly how to prepare for GMAT Verbal to get good results.
