Need Serious Help in Verbal - 650 Q50V27 07 Oct 2013, 14:17

I just took my first GMAT and received 650 (Q50V27)...
I've scheduled 2nd GMAT for the first week of November and I need to completely re-strategize the verbal part of the exam. Any advice from the experts would be greatly appreciated...

I'm completely lost, I've always thought that I was decent in all parts of the Verbal : SC,CR,RC. It seems like I need to start from the ground zero and attack the basics again. Does anybody have a great a month study guide to follow?

I'm desperate at this time, any advice would be helpful.
I'm a hard worker, will follow any guide-lines.

Thank you for reading...

Dear Joseph,
I'm happy to respond.

Here's a three-month plan designed precisely for someone in your predicament:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-gm ... l-focused/
Because your GMAT is in a month, you will have to compress this schedule --- you could also use:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/1-month-gm ... -schedule/
and add to this schedule from the first.

Also, to help you out, here's a free idiom ebook to help you:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/gmat-idiom-ebook/

Here's a free practice CR question:
https://gmat.magoosh.com/questions/3149
Here's a free practice SC question:
https://gmat.magoosh.com/questions/3292
For each one of those, when you hit submit, the next page will have a complete video explanation. Each one of Magoosh's GMAT practice questions has its own video explanation, for accelerated learning. Also, because you already took an official GMAT, you would qualify for our score guarantee:
https://gmat.magoosh.com/score-guarantee
We are so confident of our ability to help you reach the 7000 threshold that we will give you a full refund if you don't reach it.

Even if you decide not to explore the Magoosh product, I hope you take full advantage of that free Magoosh blog --- there's a ton there that could strengthen your verbal performance.

I hope all of this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Mike :-)
