I have targeted for a PhD in business, which means I should obtain at least 700 for my overall GMAT score.
In February 2015, I had my first GMAT attempt in order to fulfill the condition required for a Master degree position.
It was a pretty low score requirement. Besides, I was occupied by my full-time job. So I did not spend too much time on practice, apart from getting myself familiar with the examination format.
Eventually I scored 590 - V24, Q47, AWA5.0, IR4. That means my mathematics is not a major problem though I can be better.
And now I am able to spend more time to practice verbal. However, I have been trying many different sets of exercises, including the Kaplan Verbal Book and the official guide. I can only get, on average, 7 out of 10 questions correct for all types of questions in the verbal part. I am quite upset, since it would be quite a long distance for me to reach the desired score.
I admit that I have not tried any sort of free test which will predict a score, because I think I am not ready in the light of the above situation.
I am to take the next GMAT in Mid-September. Please kindly advise how to break the bottleneck. Thanks a lot...

Hi universehk,
PhD programs tend to be really competitive (and since the incoming 'class' is so small, Admissions Committees tend to really 'nitpick' applications) - as such, you'll need to make sure that you have a really strong (and well put-together) OVERALL application.
That having been said, you've given yourself plenty of time to study, which is good. Since it's been a few months since your Official GMAT, and you've been studying on your own to try to improve your Verbal scores, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections), so that we can see how far you have progressed on your own. Those scores will go a long way to helping you figure out what adjustments you have to make to hit your goal score. Once you have taken that CAT, you should report back here with your scores and we can talk through some study options.

Hi,
I spent time on 2 sets of 800score Verbal Section Test, downloaded from another thread in GMATClub
I put the mathematics in later stage.
There are 5 sets, which I have done 2.
I scored 21/41(35% percentile) in the first set, and 26/41(50% percentile) in the 2nd set...
For both set of them, RC remains a nightmare for me, which i score only 6/14.
Assuming I can also get Q47 in next attempt, I may only get an improvement of 30-40 in overall score. Sigh.
Any advice? Thanks!
P.S In deed I did not complete the quantitative part in time. May be Q47 is already a score that has adjusted downward due to in-completion?
