Hi. I am aiming for a 700+ GMAT score. I am confident in my quant but verbal is always a big struggle.
I am taking revision by doing questions in OG22 every day. (SC, CR, and RC) I am still ok with easy and medium-level questions (~85%+ and +75% accuracy respectively) But my accuracy rate for HARD questions in SC and CR dropped to ~50% significantly (I am a non-native English speaker, btw). Knowing that the exam questions' difficulty is close to medium level, I am super frustrated now with my study progress. It makes me question whether my study approach to drill deep into OG questions is correct.
1. This is my first attempt at doing OG questions. I know some people will redo it after their 1st attempt. Is it common for most people to get such a low accuracy rate for HARD questions in their first attempt?
2. In addition to that, what is the best strategy to use the OG efficiently? I will probably take the GMAT at the end of January and I am still frustrated with my verbal. Can anyone also comment on this study plan to the verbal part?
My current study plan: SC, CR, RC: 24 questions for each part every day Compiled mistaken questions as an error log on an excel sheet I will start doing practice exams a few days later.
Thank you very much!

It's fairly common, but you'd be better of achieving higher accuracy the first time through by spending more time per question.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that you answer a total of 3 x 24 = 72 Verbal practice questions a day. If so, you are likely answering too many questions and therefore are not getting the full value out of seeing each question.
I explain why it would likely be better to do fewer questions per day and provide other key information on how to prepare for GMAT Verbal effectively in this comprehensive post.
