What is the scope of improvement in verbal in next 30 days...Which section to target? also in both the mocks i guessed last 8 to 10 ques's due to tiredness and less time.

Need a verbal score between 35-38, is it possible?

Good news -- you are improving. Bad news, based on the data you shared, it appears the opportunity is consistent across all three areas. Question for you -- What types of questions did you spend the most time on that caused you to guess? I'd encourage you to take a look at this article -- https://www.manhattangmat.com/articles/e ... verbal.cfm You are asking for a pretty sizable score jump in 30 days, but if you figure out where you need to focus the most.. anything is possible! -Brian

I took little longer while doing RC, but that was not the entire reason to guess the other half reason was that i was tired.

Also it has been two years since i studied anything in verbal, i feel comfortable doing all the 3 sections of it but my favourite is CR...Also in both the mocks i attempted 3rc's and got 2 or 3 questions wrong in it, so i believe my RC is also fine..But yes i have started reading mgmat SC and CR....

But can you tell me how many to get right on verbal to get atleast 35 on it...at present the highest correct was 23..

Remember -- it's not about the raw # right... it's about the degree of difficulty relative to the questions you are working on. The test will feel hard for everyone -- because of the adaptive nature of the exam. I'd just encourage you to get out of the mindset of "I have to get x number questions right." You need to get AS MANY RIGHT as you can.

Hi Brian

I have started reading mgmat sc 4th edition and did pretty well on chapters like Ch2-Grammar ,meaning and concise got 8/10 correct from og12 and Ch 3- Sub-verb agreement got 10/11 correct.

But on chapter 4 Parallelism i did excellent on the quiz but later got only 15/26 correct from Og12, moreover i got 13 questions wrong which were below question number 50 on og12( since its arranged in level of difficulty those questions should have been the easiest).

Any idea why did i get all the easy questions wrong and got most of the higher level questions correct? one more thing is when in practice mode i write few words because of which the option is incorrect and later i tally it from the solution, so i havent guessed any.

Thanks
