TopperV41 , following Target Test Prep's study plan to the T should be enough. For RC you could refer to GMAT Ninja's videos on YouTube, TTP has also some interesting Blog posts related to Reading Comprehension, you should also check those out.

For RC I would suggest to practice only from official sources . You will get a lot of questions in this forum. If you exhaust official question , you can also practice official LSAT questions. Gmat ninja videos are also a good guide.

Hi TopperV41.

To hit your verbal score goal, go through the each of the TTP SC lessons in a careful, thorough manner and carefully answer the practice questions UNTIMED to give yourself time to analyze each choice of each question, fully understand the question, and learn all there is to learn from the question.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that most of their SC learning will come from reading lessons and explanations and don't realize that a huge part of their SC mastery comes from learning to apply the concepts presented in the lessons by doing untimed analysis of practice questions. The SC course includes hundreds of questions. Take advantage of each question. They've been created to give you an opportunity to develop your skills in finding flaws in choices and working your way to correct answers.

Once you complete the SC course, you can move on to the CR course and take a similar approach, first fully learning each concept, and then practicing by carefully analyzing each practice question choice by choice. Here too, a big part of your success will come from taking the time to see what's going on in the practice questions rather than burning through them in two minutes each.

By the time you are done with the SC and CR courses, the TTP RC course should be available.

Hi TopperV41, Let me share my insights. For GMAT Verbal, it is very important that you follow the right methodology and the logical approach . Your focus has to be on eliminating four incorrect choices rather than choosing the right one . The key is to develop a solid understanding of the concepts that are typically tested on the GMAT and master the process skills that are required to solve GMAT questions. Only then, you will be able to smartly avoid the traps set by the test makers. Before you start learning, it's important to understand what is actually tested using the questions. Each module in Verbal (SC, CR and RC) has to be approached in a different way. For example, before you start learning the concepts of SC , you need to understand that SC questions on GMAT test your ability to convey the right meaning without any ambiguity. So, it's important to approach them from a meaning stand-point. You might have often come across answer choices which are both grammatically correct and convey a logical meaning but are indeed incorrect because they do not convey the intended meaning. So, the process to approach SC questions is to: • Comprehend the original meaning of the sentence • Identify errors if any (both grammatical and meaning wise) • Eliminate answer choices which either are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning You can go through the link below to understand the process in a better way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SGA8bwFNJM In case of RC , there is one fundamental mistake that most students do, that is trying to read the passage fast. The trick to ace RC is not to understand WHAT is written, but to understand WHY it is written . Let me take you through the 3 step process that helped me master RC. STEP 1: INVOLVED READING While reading the passage, focus on the role played by each sentence and understand what purpose does it serve? Simple questions that you can ask could be - does it support an argument, weaken it, oppose a viewpoint, provide more data, or bring in a different perspective and so on. The idea is to understand the transition in thoughts and which side is the author taking. STEP 2: EVOLVED READING Once you’ve understood the intent of each line, you can then choose to ignore the detail and focus on summarising the paragraphs in a line. Then, focus on the intent of each para and think about the structure of the passage. I even believe in identifying (at a high level) what is the main point of the passage even if there is no main point question attached. It helps in having more confidence in marking Inference or Organization based questions. STEP 3: ANSWER CHOICE ELIMINATION If the above two steps are done properly, this step is the easiest. All you need to do is, look at each question one-by-one and eliminate the answer choices from your evolved understanding of the passage. Involved and Evolved Reading will help you eliminate 4 choices in most of the questions. In few tough ones, you might be confused between 2 choices, but those can be easily eliminated by focusing on the following aspects: Scope of the choice – shouldn’t be out of scope or too limited in scope Minute details – shouldn’t have half-truths and rest distortion Confusing words – shouldn’t have words which seem similar but are different. You can refer to this video to learn the difference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baAy-q3JVBo Opposite – is opposite of what you should be looking for These 3 steps are simple and you need to ensure that you practice using this method and perfect it to get high accuracy. The importance of using a standard resource: The only method to make sure that you invest your time, money and effort in an effective way is to use a standard resource which teaches you the concepts, strategies and also helps you work on your weaker areas. Studying using OG or a few random resources might help you to solve GMAT like questions but I’m afraid that they won’t be able to help you much from a strategy perspective. I would suggest you to go for some standard course for your Verbal preparation which can help you prepare in a structured and efficient manner thereby increasing your productivity. It’s always better to spare some more time on your preparation until you are ready instead of missing out on your dream colleges/ b-schools in hurry. GMATWhiz helps you with all these things as we follow a structured and methodical way of teaching things , which makes the learning process simpler and efficient.
