Hi!
I need help in how to proceed with my verbal studies, I started studying 4 weeks ago, 3 week ago I did a MGMAT prep exam and scored 640 (Q44, V33), and my weakest area wa SC and CR with a 29% and 40% accuracy respectively in each section and 92% accuracy in RC, therefore, in order to bump my score I decided to focus my studies in SC and CR.
Today I just did another MGMAT prep test and scored 570 (Q38, V30) as for right now I am not concerned with quant I wanted to focus only on verbal first, I didn't even put that much effort in the quant section (I even went to the bathroom quickly while the quant section was running). After studying intensively for 3 weeks verbal (20 hours a week) I only managed to lower 3 points, I have been studying from the MGMAT strategy guides, I only improved marginally in SC and CR (went from 28% to 43% in SC and 40% to 50%) but SC went from 92% to 60%.
My tentative exam date is July 15, I am aiming for a 720+ score, therefore;
Thanks in advanced for for your time and comments on my problem!

- What recommendation would you give me?
- Is it real to improve to 720+ in the next 2 months?
- Should I focus the next few weeks in verbal and then quant or should I start studying both section at the same time?
Thanks in advanced for for your time and comments on my problem!

Hi Martin,
There's enough of a difference between a 640 and a 570 that we really need to better define your current 'ability level.' As such, I strongly recommend that you take one of the Official GMAT CATs and take it in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). Once you have that score, you should report back and we can discuss how best to proceed.
1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi
Best Books for Verbal
For Concept Learning
For CR: The Powerscore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible
For SC: Manhattan SC Guide
For Practice
The Official Guide for GMAT 2015-18
The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review 2015-18
Start first with Sentence correction. One month for learning concepts and one month for practicing questions. During you Practicing question don't forget to make an error log to track your weak areas after practice. Once you know your weak areas revise your Concepts related to those areas and do some more Practice. 6-8 CATs are enough for practice the real tests.
Good Luck
