Hi amgmat15,

If you find that you're consistently struggling to get in the right 'mindset' to study Verbal material, then you might want to think about your 'big picture' plans and how your Verbal work will play a role in those plans...

1) What is your goal score?
2) Where do you want to go to Business School?
3) What kind of career do you want to have?

Your GMAT score will play a big role in the School that you ultimately go to and the career path that you will put yourself on, so if those concepts don't properly motivate you, then you might want to try some caffeine.

It might also be that the materials that you're using don't make the learning process exciting enough for you.

1) How long have you been studying?
2) What materials have you been using?

Hi amgmat15,

We helped someone in a similar situation tackle RC passages on our blog recently. You can check out some of the strategies we suggested here: https://bit.ly/1R7dG6K. Happy to elaborate on these further if you'd like.

Best,

Hi amgmat15,

Studying at the end of the day can sometimes be a challenge (especially if you're tired after a full day of activities). If possible, you might want to try studying for a bit in the morning (when you're more awake and alert).

I was a giving a practice test this saturday. I was in the right environment i.e. my local library with my personal desk and no distractions. And as per the standard sequence went through awa,ir and quant. Then came the verbal, my greatest weakness. As I was going through the first few questions, I couldn't concentrate and kept reading the questions/sentences multiple times. And then started feeling sleepy. Not a good sign. I consider myself to be a serious learner but verbal section seems so boring and dry and on that I such at it. I enjoy practicing Quant more than verbal. After my first gmat experience I did know this(verbal) was the section I need to practice more but the motivation is zero. The moment I start studying anything verbal related I get drowsy, but reading a book,article etc I'm deesky engrossed. Hon do I motivate myself to improve my hold in verbal for gmat?
