Hi Guys,
I have been preparing for GMAT since last 3 months relentlessly. I have worked on most of the recommended books suggested on this forum.
MATH - OG-12, Quant Review and all MGMAT books.
VERBAL - MGMAT SC, CR Bible and went though MGMAT RC once.
I have my exam in around next 20 days on October - 8th 2010. My mock test scores so far are -
MGMAT 1 - 620 (Q46, V30)
MGMAT 2 - 610 (Q44, V30)
MGMAT 3 - 660 (Q44, V36)
MGMAT 4 - 600 (Q44, V30)
GMAT PowerPrep 1- 650 (Q49, V30)
Knewton - 590 (Q39, V33) --- Though I find the scoring very weird, this was the exam of all, where I answered least incorrectly. 9 Quant were wrong and 13 verbal were wrong.
I feel my SC is still weak and which is something very disheartening for me. I have read MGMAT SC twice as well as prepared some 6-8 pages notes + basic idiom list (70-100 idoms) for it. But in all the above exams, I got 5-6 SC's wrong. My RC and CR are slowly building up, reflecting from my OG and Verbal practice questions. I am able to get them done correctly 85-95% times.
So coming to main point - How can I try to improve my Verbal section during the mock tests. SC is really bothering me up now. It seems my hard work is not going through proper channel, hence unable to see the output. Since, now only 20 days
are left, I need some expert advice very badly to shoot up my verbal section and esp SC. I will be able to manage through Quant, atleast I believe so.
Please pour-in some ideas / advices.
Thanks.

Hi amp,
I suppose that your RC & CR skills are good & you have difficulties in SC only.
Have you used the tag list function here at this forum? Do use this function to go through tough questions with detailed explanations. Also, do try to revise MGMAT SC book. I will also recommend gmat prep SC document. This document will really help you understanding the pattern of real gmat SC questions.
Let us know, if you need any help.
