At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Wow, I got the 1st 7 verbal in a row right on GMAT Prep #1. I only missed 5 of the first 32 verbal questions (all spread out). Then I did something interesting. I missed 3 in a row on a RC passage (I was running short on time) and missed 5 of the last 9 questions. I ended up with a 38 in the Verbal section. I can't help but think if I had gotten one of the 3 questions right, I would be sitting 39 or 40, which is where I want to be. I am shocked that missing the 3 in a row could drop my score so drastically. If I had given myself a little more time (maybe 3-5 minutes), I could have slowed down and read everything thoroughly and probably not missed some near the end. Anyone else run into this kind of a situation. Dang...I feel like I am sooooo close to where I want to be.

38 on verbal is 80+ percentile, thus you're at that point where getting back to back problems can either boost you or tank you. It's possible you didn't "tank" your score, but rather dropped a couple points in those last few questions.
I'd say if you can manage this consistency on the test, you're pretty much set on verbal section (40 would help, but a 38 is still good).
