I've been studying Verbal and have been maintaining an error log. Following the process too. But it seems I just cannot cross the v40 barrier. I get 27/28 out of 36 correct and it's always the same v37 v38 score. My recent official GMAT mock score was 720 - q50v37. Got 9 wrong in verbal -
The breakup of incorrect questions -
RC - 4/14
SC - 3/13 (meaning, modifiers, meaning)
CR - 2/9 (weaken, evaluate)
Time management was an issue here, I had to rush at the end.
The 2nd section (Q11-Q19 took almost 22 mins), and in that time pressure I got easy ones wrong. (1 sub-600 question in SC, 1 in CR, 1 in RC).
I am frustrated that I'm unable to cross this barrier
What should I do?!
