Hi Guys, I appeared for GMAT exam today....and scored a dismal..640..Q50..V27
Till today what I have done:--
Verbal:-
1 OG 12, OG 10, Kaplan800
2. Manhattan SC
3. Tests taken : GMAT prep
a. Test1:710
b. Test2 :690
Retook tests after installing in different PC.
c. Test1 (retake) : 720
d. Test2 (retake) : 740
e. Free Knewtown test: 690
f. Free Platinum test: 690.
So you can see that my GMAT D-day score is the lowest score (:.
I need to get atleast 700 and need you guys' suggestion..
I am strong in maths..no not much worried about it..but need to improve in verbal........
I have thought of the following course of actions:-
1. OG 11.
2. Aristotol SC & RC99
3. CR bible...I need some serious improvement on this.
4. Could you suggest any other material which can really shape my basics on verbal...
My gmat exprience:-
Quant: It went well I got two questions on permutation-combination.
Verbal: I really didn't know what went wrong. First three SC questions were out of the box..no special type..My guess is I made more mistakes in first 10 questions which cost me HEAVILY.
Lessons learnt: Since I used to get around 690 in GMAT prac test, I was over confident that I would score around 700..so bit casual which cost me heavily.
I will chill out this month and will restart prep from Dec...any suggestion on how to improve verbal will be greatly appreciated....

I play a silly game for Verbal SC. Move things around in your head until you get a feel for what the GMAT considers incorrect, wordy, etc. Take simple phrases you normally say without a thought and think of all the different ways GMAT might throw these phrases at you. Make yourself laugh. The one that makes you laugh the least is the best answer

1. "I wanted to have some pizza, initially; nonetheless, there had not been enough slices left."
2. "Initially, I wanted to have some pizza; however, there were not plenty of slices for me to have eaten."
3. "I wanted to have some pizza; however, there were no slices of pizza left."
4. "I had wanted to have some pizza: but it was all gone, before."
5. "Pizza, initially, I had wanted to have had - heretofore, I sha'n't any be eating."
