First off, let me just say thank you to all of GMATclub for the amazing wealth of resources you guys have put together. I've been lurking around here for about two months (never posted anything) so a big thanks in order. Now I'm coming to you guys for help.
I've got 13 days until my 2nd attempt at the GMAT (Dec. 4th) and have been studying pretty consistently over the last 5-6 weeks. My first GMAT attempt was a 630 (Q40, V36) with minimal studying. This go round, I bought the Magoosh full prep package and the MGMAT guides to help me prepare. I can't tell you how helpful these have been. I've taken 2 GMATprep and 3 MGMAT Cat's:
MGMAT #1: 640 (Q44, V34)
GMATPrep #1: 650 (Q43, V36)
MGMAT #2: 660 (Q43, V37)
MGMAT #3: 630 (Q42, V34)
GMATPrep #2: 680 (Q48, V35)
The last two exams were under exact test-taking conditions -- AWA, IR, etc. The problem for me is the verbal. My quant has skyrocketed with the Magoosh prep; however, my verbal has stayed pretty consistent over the last 1.5 months despite more focused prep in RC and CR. Also, I am a native speaker.
What would you guys suggest I do for these final two weeks to improve my verbal? I'm hoping to reach the 40 threshold before my test, while working on maintaining my quant in the upper-40's. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks guys.

Based on the data from your 3 tests, how are you performing in verbal? That is, which areas are your strengths and which are weaknesses? How is timing for you?

Hey man
My case is very similar to yours. My first attempt almost a month back got me 620 (44/32) and I am retaking on the 6th Dec, very close to your retake date. I had used all the MGMAT books for my first attempt and was scoring in the 700s on the practice tests (MGMAT and GMATPrep) so my actual score was a bit of an aberration that I have put down to nerves and verbal in equal measure.
While I don't know what specific advise to give you, for my retake I have been using Aristotle Prep books for verbal and have found them extremely useful, especially their question banks because I had run out of all official questions in my first attempt itself. In your case though, I think quant is the bigger problem so I'd suggest these last few days you focus more on quant because, from what I've gathered, it's possible to get a 47-48 in quant, even if you get a lot of the questions wrong, as long as you can get some of the tougher questions correct.
Wish you luck!!
P.S. - What is your test date btw?
