Hello,
I have been preparing for the GMAT seriously since April. I took the GMAT today and scored 680 (V40, Q43) but i am aiming for 760.
My verbal score has remained within 41 - 43 since i started studying and i don't know how to improve it. I took GMAT Prep 1 - 4 and my accuracy was around 77.8%. I have noticed that i am quite weak in Critical Reasoning. I get almost all the RC and SC questions correctly on the GMAT Prep that i took.
I am planning to retake the GMAT in 3 weeks. What can i do to improve my verbal to V47 at least.
Thanks a lot

Hi OmotayoH
Is there some reason why you're not more focused on improving your quant score? If you're aiming for a top school with that 760 target, then quant carries more weight in the admissions decision making for most top schools (not that verbal isn't important). Given your background in Investment Banking, I assume you have good core quant skills.
If you're concerned about the time frame for improving quant, there are a lot of things that I work with test-takers on that can improve their scores within a matter of weeks. The focus is on test taking process not practice problems and practice tests. Get in touch if you would like to discuss.
