same thing happened to me. GMAT is getting harder is the only explanation to me.

I don't mean to be harsh, but, after reading your post, it does not surprise me that you received a lower verbal score than you wanted.

To make this stuff second-nature, you have to incorporate it into as many facets of your life as possible - including forum postings.

so wait. what you trying to say? no need to butter it up with a cherry on top, let's get down to the nitty gritty. you trying to say my grammar is bad? you trying to say my posts are bad? my post count is bad? let's lay it all out on the table rockzom...

Not you, vw.

I guess that I should have quoted COEP. What I said was directed toward him. The verbal carelessness of his/her post is undeniable.

true. i will agree with you on that. good advice on incorporating the sentence correction tactics in everyday life. i try to do that but forget (sigh)

COEP- Don't get discouraged. There are many strategies/books/plans posted in this forum.

You should focus on basics, and practice from different quality GMAT resources. Keep an error log for every problem you solve from OG. It would give you an idea about section to focus. It's very important to know weak area to attack. Otherwise your efforts would not bring maximum results.

Hope it helps.

I agree with others. CEOP ,no offense but your post doesn't give a feeling that you actually deserved a better score than what you have.
I'm sure if you put sustained efforts,you should be able to get the desired score. Tenacity pays off.Always!

COEP, how was your timing for the verbal section in the real thing? Were the practice tests timed also?
