GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hello,
I had attempted GMAT last week and disappointingly ended up with a 640. I am targeting to appear for GMAT again in November. Can you please guide me as to how to pace the Verbal part.
I am not bothered about Quant as I had been scoring 50 but something wrong happened on the test Day.

Hi Buddy : Trust me, This indomitable spirit of urs will help u in sailing through the turbulent waters of gmatland.
U are almost there , V 28 is not a bad score but then there's no harm if it could be raised to ur expectation level.
Now the tripods of ur 2nd attempt can be the following ;( Though u will be a better judge )
1.Concepts : Anything in particular that's giving me jitters ( Modifier / Parallelism / Comparison / Tense / SV = Guess these are the main ones bxn which 70-80% of GMAT V revolves ); If yes, plz try n revisit the concepts from any material that suits u best = plz don't club too many materials to have a hang on the basics of same concept , it somewhat becomes disillusionary.
Once through now u can shift gears and try to search for the Advanced versions of the same topics / the shortcuts / the mind reading game : For this there are some very good materials on forums such as gmatclub/ BTG / MGMat etc = my personal opinion ( Search for RON PUREWAL aka lunarpower = he is a legend / he is magical ) / u can lay ur hands on thursdays with RON ( either live sessions or can download the recorded sessions - search vimeo / youtube/ mgmat site/ gmatclub 0
2. Pattern recognition : V 28 suggests that u must have exhausted all resources but still if u can, think of redoing OG / verbal review / GMATPREP docs = Practise with the official retired questions, mark the wrong ones = Search in forums to get a feel of how forum wizs / experts read the particular problem ; you won't find a single question that's unanswered = My humble suggestion, though a cliche , stick only n only to officcial questions . for fresh meat u can lay ur hands on GMATPREP question bank 1 @ 1000 bucks from mba.com ( 400 official retired Q's not found elsewhere )
3. Timing : u can realize that 90% of SC , in particular, can be solved from the cosy atmosphere of one's room but when that timer starts ticking, it becomes a completely diff ball game - things start to get tangential. So once through with 1 & 2 bring out ur error logs & practise in blocks of 40 (yes 40 and not 15 / 20, till 15/ 20 ur mind stays alert/ u stay agile but as the number increases fatigue creeps in and the GMAT beast unfolds itself ) under timed condition ( 1.5 for SC / 2-2.5 for CR ) ; once comfortable try n mix SC / CR , this will really help u in taking a stab under time crunching situations.
Take as many tests as u can till it becomes ur second nature; GMATPREP both older n newer version / MGMAT 6 tests :Don't fret too much over the scores, the tets should be taken with an intent to acclimatise urself with the gruesome grind of those 4 hrs, build up ur stamina/ energy level .
My learnings from 2 miserable attempts.
