My friend's GMAT FE score plateaued at 645. Q87, V79, D79.
Since, then they have attempted two times within 4 months, the score they got was 585 (Q81,V83, D77) & 625(Q86, V78, V79).
Before the re-attempts, they even got 1on1 tutor for verbal especially, but the verbal score is just not improving. it is hovering between 78 to 81 in the mocks.
Anyone here gone through similar plateauing in verbal score, what did you do to improve, how long it took?

Hello RJ3001274402,
This is a common challenge during one's prep. Here’s a structured, step-by-step approach to help you push through:
1. Consolidate your concepts
Revisit all the conceptual material you’ve covered so far and work on strengthening it. If your existing prep method is not working for you, you need to change it to understand concepts from scratch.
2. Re-attempt all previously incorrect questions
Review your mistakes from earlier practice. Understand why you got them wrong and how to avoid those errors going forward.
3. Practice with a new set of high-difficulty questions
Use either official sources or reliable third-party material to build deeper familiarity with challenging questions.
4. Practice consistently over the next few weeks
Every couple of weeks, go back and re-attempt your earlier incorrect questions. Continue revisiting weak areas in your conceptual understanding along the way.
By diligently following these four steps over a few focused weeks, you’ll likely find yourself performing at a significantly higher level.
All the best!

Hi RJ3001274402,
The good news is that your friend already has a very good score (645). However, it's very hard to say what may be going wrong just from the score, and 4 months is (usually) enough time to have worked on weak areas. Has your friend analysed his/her mistakes to identify any patterns (even broad ones, like CR/RC or question type and time management)?
