I am getting a current accuracy of 68-74%(24-27qs out of 36 qs correct) for verbal in the sectional tests which i am attempting with no more than 2-3 questions in a row. In order to achieve a V40 what should be my percentage accuracy? I have not yet taken a full length test yet.

Hi Chinmin123,
The Scoring Algorithm is more complicated than most people realize - and it takes into account far more than the number/percentage of correct answers. While working on individual practice questions and Quizzes are both a valuable part of the overall training process, there's no practical way to determine how ready you are to face the Verbal section of the GMAT except by taking a FULL-LENGTH CAT under realistic testing conditions (meaning that you take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). If you have not taken any practice CATs/mocks yet, then I suggest that you take one soon (perhaps this weekend). Once you have that score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and how best to proceed.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thank you so much for the information Sir. I will try to take the mock as soon as possible.
Studies:
1) Its been a month and a half since i started studying for the exam. I had joined a GMAT coaching institute and have finished attending the classes. Now i am in the post class phase and focussing on speed and accuracy. I typically study 3-4 hours a day which is around 21-28 hours a week.
2) I am done solving the Official Guide and have reviewed all the tough/tricky questions for the quant and verbal sections. I am going through a list of idioms everyday. I have also started reading articles from WSJ, Washington Post etc to get more familiar with American english and improve my reading speed. Besides this i am using the material provided by the institute which is a compilation of all the famous books for GMAT prep. I am also giving 1 sectional test per day for verbal and reviewing it thoroughly.
Goals:
3) My overall goal score is 710+
4) I am planning to attempt the exam in October mostly around the 15th.
5) Since i am still in the final year of my bachelor's program i plan on applying for Deffered MBA or MiM (after a year's work experience).
6) For Deffered MBA:
1) Indian School of Business
2) Chicago Booth scholar's program
3) 2+2 program at Harvard Business school
4) Yale Silver Scholar's program.
5) IESE early admission program (YTP)
For MiM:
1) HEC Paris
2) London Business school
3) Essec France
4) Insead
5) Duke Fuqua MSM
These just the options which i am considering, but it finally depends on my GMAT score.
