Personally, for me, my only problem with the Verbal section is the Reading Comprehension section. I didn't even read through the
MGMAT SC yet. Instead I went through Powerscore's On-Demand Course and those resources are very similar to
MGMAT. My hit rate for CR and SC went up phenomenally after I did this. However, with RC, I lose focus. I tend to finish my GMAT practice CATs like 25 minutes before scheduled end and then I'll realize that I just got glazed eyes and skipped over something so obvious.
I use three strategies when it comes to Verbal (I've been scoring 38-40 with like a 96% hit rate for both CR and SC and like a 85-90% on RC)
1. For SC, read vertically. Eliminate groups of answers that have something wrong in common. Splitting the answer works.
2. For CR, paraphrase the answer. Take notes. Identify premise and conclusion. You can also refer to my CR guide in the signature of this post, if you wish. I took a lot of time with this one as it's not quite as conventionally defined by rules as is SC.
3. With RC, I have begun to fully read the passage and take down notes regarding the main purpose, the author's tone in conveying the passage and the general structure (Introduction, Example, Contradiction, Conclusion etc). This has been working so far, but we'll see.
I think the primary point is to make the best use of the resources you have to get the best out of them. I learnt this the hard way, but there is no substitute to practice and familiarity. That's half the battle won.
Good luck with your preparation. Hopefully we'll meet in the V40+ club soon
