Verbal help for GMAT in 4 Days

Thanks. Do you really think 6 hours with you at this point can help me?

I have started giving mocks and 620-650 is what I am getting. Going through the Idioms right away.

thank you

700-710 will be acceptable for me given my situation rn

Thank you, and agreed.

But still what should I try in these 5 days as per you? OG, mocks, concepts?

Sent a DM.

You have to score V39 or V40 assuming you get Q47 to score 700-710. That would be a great jump. I am sharing an excel file to you which contains around 650 SC official OG questions (compiled by Chiranjeev). You can practice them and review your mistakes which can help you in SC.

I have shared the file. Kindly tell me whether it's useful. You don't have to create separate error log. You just have to review your mistakes.

Hi jain808,

Since you are so close to your Official Test Date, you have to be careful about trying to do too much studying at this point (since we do not want you to 'burn out' before Test Day). In these last few days, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - you would be better served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.

We last discussed your studies in December, 2020 - and at that time, you were planning to take the Official GMAT sometime soon. Did you end up taking the GMAT as planned (and if you did, then how did you score - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?)?

In addition, I'd like to know a bit more about how you've been studying over the last 3 months:

1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you been using? Since you were using the OG20 during your prior studies, did you use that same book this time?
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)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

I did and I scored around 450, all thanks to the built up exam pressure that I literally gave up in the Verbal section after a point of time and cancelled my score. Coming back to this time.

1. I have studied around 20 hours weekly from past 2 months.
2. I used Egmat's verbal videos to understand SC, CR and RC. And I am solving OG 2022 this time.
3. I just took one mock and scored 640 (Q47, V30)
4. Round 1, as ambitious as I can be. I applied to UNC KF last year with a GMAT waiver and got interview out.

I normally ask my students to give themselves at least 1-2 "rest days" (some opt for an entire week) before the actual exam. That means no full-length tests, and only light practice sessions. Revision is also fine.

Hi jain808,

I've sent you a PM with some notes and additional questions.

Hi jain808,

Looks like tomorrow is game time. Good luck!!

Thanks Scott. Still stuck with basic modifier errors, finding noun referents , use of it and that, but well, it is what it is

Also, how bad is it if I'm getting merely 40-45% correct on the OG Advanced Verbal part?

Dear jain808,
I hope you will ace the desirable score tomorrow and forget about the GMAT
In case you decide to improve SC, I would suggest to try TTP course because reading the materials and learn from them are two different points. I have not completed 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. Furthermore, I have found some answers to SC questions that were not disclosed in the Manhattan guide such as inner and outer list, delayed subject, etc.

How did things go with your GMAT??
