you should find a good verbal course and practice alot.
for RC by reading alot to improve you RC skills , I wasn't struggling much with it because I already read alot of scientific material in English because of my job requirements.
But I was struggling with SC, I tried both E-GMAT and TTP, I found that TTP SC section more organized, comprehensive and realistic, they provide detailed explanation for each Question answer and why it is correct and why it is not, and that Explanation is what helped me understand why I keep making mistakes in SC questions, and how to analyse each part of the sentence and determine whether it is correct. so bit by bit I started to realize how to approach SC questions, analyse the sentences, and answer the questions. after finishing their SC section I realized how much I was missing. with E-GMAT things were not as organized and clear as with TTP, so I felt lost and frustrated with E-GMAT.
for CR I haven't yet started.\
Anyway TTP has a 5-day trial for 1$ so you can try and decide yourself.

Hi PradeepVemuri95.

The key to mastering GMAT verbal is understanding what it tests and how to prepare for it effectively. The better you understand those two things, the better the results you'll get since effective preparation always leads to score increases.

So, one step you could take to get better results from your GMAT verbal prep is to read the following two posts, which discuss in depth how to prepare for GMAT verbal effectively.

How to Score High on GMAT Verbal

Three Key Practice Tips for Mastering GMAT Verbal

Also, if you tell us about how you have been preparing for verbal so far and any specifics about your performance on the different types of verbal questions and your practice test experiences, we could probably give you some advice tailored to your situation.

Hi PradeepVemuri95,

Many GMATers find at least some aspect of the Verbal section to be challenging - so you're not alone. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for though, 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? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

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

Consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th edition for SC and CR. In addition, working with a study buddy who has strong verbal skills may be helpful. You can teach them Quant in return. To practice your reading, using articles from The Economist may be good too.

Here are some quick verbal tips:

Hi Pradeep

It would be helpful to know the material you have already used.

If you are looking for some free resources you can consider going through Powerscore CR and Manhattan SC for the concepts. And then solve questions from the official guide.

And in case, you find it difficult to jump from one material to the other and are seeking a structured study plan, you should definitely check out Target Test Prep. They prepare the plan for you, all you have to do is religiously follow the study plan. They offer the best value for your investment in terms of the content provided. You will not regret it.

The TTP material is very detailed and after going through the TTP course you will realise how it provides clarity regarding a lot of concepts you might not be confident about right now.

Dear PradeepVemuri95,
I concur with the view of sakshi2022; to improve my verbal score I have started to employ the TTP platform because its well structured study plan along with unique approach already has helped me to ameliorate my quant score. I have not consummated the Verbal part yet, but what do I say is that its curriculum not only covers all general materials but also provides step by step guide to hone the acquired knowledge. Additionally, I have found answers to some SC questions that were not disclosed in the Manhattan guide such as inner and outer list, delayed subject, etc.

Hello, PradeepVemuri95. I see that you have plenty of excellent recommendations above, and my own builds off of some of what has already been said. If I needed help with Verbal, I would look to the free GMATNinja Resource Collection posts on CR, RC, and SC. You can find the SC Resource Collection post here, for example. Apart from actual practice questions, which you can complete prior to checking out any solutions that GMAT Ninja has posted in the forum, you can find just about everything you would need to ace the Verbal section.

Good luck with your studies.
