Hi, guys
I would like to know your opinion on the strategies and the best possible way of getting 700+ on my GMAT test.
I started my preparation in October (short courses and then self-study), but, however, it was a little bit inconsistent and rushed due to the lack of time. I took my first test in January and scored 550. Verbal 22 and Quantitative 44.
So, what could you recommend in order to improve my mark?

Welcome to the GMATClub.
You need hard work to cross 700 from 550, but it is not impossible.
My personal conviction:
4 things must need to do well in GMAT.
1/ A good reader (with active reader)
2/ Logically strong (specially for CR)
3/ Good materials
4/ Hard working
How impact these 4 things in your life?
By the by, what course did you take as your short course?

Did you try any online GMAT Prep? I think e-GMAT can help one to score better in the verbal section. The video lessons are simply wow. I'm also going through video lessons of GMAT QUANTUM for Quant. You will be simply in love if you check free resources from https://gmatquantum.com/official-guides/og13/ .

By this I mean offline courses in my city. We had a group of two people. However, this course lasted for about one month and we even missed 2 topics because of the lack of time.
