Although my quant is decent, I have hit a plateau in the Verbal section. I have been studying Verbal for the past 3 months but my score is not crossing the 32 mark. Will certainly appreciate any help.

Show more

It is CR Strengthen and SC Pronouns. Took me a lot of time and understanding of the subject to figure out my weak areas. Thank you for asking though. Finding my way to reaching my GMAT goals, slowly but steadily.
