Urgent help needed with GMAT verbal [#permalink] New post   11 Oct 2023, 10:35
Hey!

Reaching out as I need some guidance for the verbal section of gmat

I have been studying for a long time now (approx 6 months) with avg 10-12 hrs prep every week (only verbal) but my score seems to be stucked.

I have solved all the official practice questions but not seeing any results.

I want at least V36 for my goal and have been scoring less than V30

I have hit a blocker and I dont know what to prepare now and how to reach my score

Could you please provide some guidance?

Consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC and CR. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful as well. If/when you feel your fundamentals are solid, working on your solving approach may help a bit. Had a student who went from a v31 to a v40 in about 30 days. Perhaps include working with a study buddy who is strong on Verbal into your prep.

Hi ynchopra,

When we last discussed your studies, you were planning to take the GMAT sometime around the end of August. Did you take the Official GMAT at that time (and if you did, then how did you score?)?

Over the last 1.5 months, on what dates did you take your CATs/mocks and how did you score on each? And what are your current application plans?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi,

Could you delve a bit deeper into your preparation methods? Given that you've tackled all the official questions, how have you approached conceptual learning? In the verbal section, are there specific areas you find more challenging than others? Conversely, are there topics where you feel quite confident?
