Hey everyone!!
The first time I gave my GMAT I scored a V39 which was close to as high as I'd scored in my mocks. In my second attempt however I dropped to a V34 which is a lot lower than what I was scoring in my mocks. In verbal I often get stuck with 2 choices and waste a lot of time trying to choose between them. End up with 50-50 result. In SC I dont follow the normal "learn the grammar" rules approach. Instead I use my own approach of what makes the sentence logically most clear. I do pay close attention to certain grammar rules such as the ones pertaining to "which", "like vs such as" and "tenses". I tried going deep into the grammar rules but it just didn't make any sense to me so I adopted a different approach that doesn't work all the time. In critical reasoning I'm decent. In RC it all depends on the subject of the passage. I struggle most with science or technical topics and thrive on politics, economics, etc topics.
I've practiced questions from - OG13, verbal review 2nd edition, veritas advanced, SC grail and gmatclub.com forums
I some how need to improve my verbal to a 40 or 41. I would really appreciate if someone could provide a plan of action for me to adopt and also provide some information on where else can I practice verbal questiosn from?
Thanks in advance
