V32 suggests that you might have just touched the 700 level questions but faltered - let's say in 2 out of 3. For going up you need to be consistent at highest level or for that matter at any level. Also, you may have missed 500 level questions as missing 1 is fine but more than that leaves you with a penalised score.

Its better you review the mock test questions and see where you faltered. The bad thing about official mocks is you don't know at what juncture of time you missed a question - you only guess. Second, you might not even know what specific amount of time you spent on a particular question. Anyway, just review the questions and sections that may have led to V32.

Hi Vibha, apart from OG, what other resources did you use for your Verbal preparation? As you would know, OG is largely a compilation of old questions and so, sometimes falls short of imparting a structured training.

Also, which area is your weakest in Verbal?

If your Quant score is 49 or above, you should comfortably reach 670 or above.

Well I practice all questions from latest OG bundles, the gold standard among other resources

I've also been referring to the Manhattan guides. My weakest area is Sentence Correction.

Hi Vibha31,

If you are still looking to improve your Verbal score, then I would suggest you to focus on learning the right methodology to solve questions. Verbal questions can be very tricky because test makers often set a lot of traps by using similar words in the answer choices. To eliminate four incorrect choices and select the right one, you need to have a strong conceptual understanding and use the right methodologies.

Coming to SC, there is a common misconception that knowing grammatical rules will help you solve SC questions. But SC questions on GMAT test your ability to convey the intended meaning without any ambiguity. So, it is important to approach SC questions from a meaning stand-point. Because you will often come across answer choices which are grammatically correct and convey a logical meaning but are indeed incorrect. So, it is important to understand the intended meaning the original sentence is trying to convey and then eliminate choices which do not convey the intended meaning or which are grammatically incorrect.


I recommend you to focus on the meaning while solving SC questions. You might take a little more time to solve during the initial stages, but don't worry about that. Once you practice a few questions, time will automatically fall into place. Hope it helped. All the best :)
