Hello,
I just finished the GMAT and I'm very disappointed with my Verbal score. I got Q(47) and V(25)..Overall score: 580! (how is it possible to get in GMAT Prep2: 580 too when I got I higher score in Q and same in Verbal in the real test???)
I'm trying to get AT LEAST a 650 for a PhD program. I've done the CR powescore bible, SC Manhattan and both OG12 + OG Verbal. However, to be honest I haven't been practicing Verbal in the last 3 weeks. Is it possible to suck that much because of not practicing for 3 weeks ?
I've been reading about people recommending the E-GMAT verbal for non-natives. Do you guys think it'll help improve my verbal from 25 to 35 AT LEAST ? I mean I already had a V(35) 4 days ago I don't know how the 10pts decrease occured in such a way!
my previous scores:
Kaplan: 600
Kaplan: 600
GMAT Prep 1: 640 (4 days ago) Q(44) V(35)
GMAT Prep 2: 580 (2 days ago) Q(45) V(25) (it was at 1am so I was a little bit tired in the Verbal section that's why I thought I did bad in it)

Re-read the books you have mentioned. You can improve but you will need some time.
Remember e-GMAT offer a 4 point guarantee. So a 9 point improvement is possible but less probable.
IMHO re-read the books - MGMAT SC/Powerscore CR/OG12 slowly 2,3 times. This will take 2 months. Then enroll in e-GMAT and finish 1 month. Finally 2 weeks of tests/review.
Another strategy could be to improve quant to 49, this will take less time, 45 days.

Thank you for your reply!
The thing is I'm planning to retake the test next month or I can delay a couple of days more since I have to have my score before Jan 15!; however, I'm a full time student and I have nothing else to do but dedicate myself to the GMAT (8 hours) everyday!
I'm taking a 2 days break now and I'll start by Thursday. To be honest, I haven't done RC in more than a month so I only have myself to blame for screwing up in the Verbal!
I was thinking 10 days reviewing all the books ManhattanSC, PowerScore CR, OG12, OG Verbal (start doing 3 RC passages everyday too), and a 10 question quiz on Quantitative so I wouldn't lose my pace there.
then 10 days: E-GMAT. 7 days: reviewing all (verbal+quantitative). then 7 days of practice tests! that's 34 days! What do you think ? (PS: do you recommend doing fiction reading (I saw it in a post) every night before going to bed too ?)
I forgot to mention that I think in the Verbal section I suffer with timing. I mean in the first GMAT Prep that I ever took I scored 640 Q(45) V(35). What I did in the verbal was just relax and NEVER look at time and I got the 1st 15 questions right but then I had to skip the biggest RC passage that I faced but I solved 2 questions of them since they were highlighting a certain sentence in the passage so I was lucky to find the answer of both questions in less than a minute. How can I improve my confidience; thus, my timing in the verbal to be like the quantitative ?
