Dear All,
I am really worried about my verbal and would like to have some advise from GMATclub friends and experts.
In my first GMATPrep CAT, i scored 35 in verbal while my quant score was 44. My target score in quant is 50+ and verbal is 42+. My test date is Dec 2nd.
I did a lot of work in quant the last month and my score has really improved. The last Knewton CAT I gave, my quant was 49 (made two mistakes which were really silly mistakes). I will iron out my flaws and come back strong. I am confident that I will get to my 50+ score in quant if I continue working hard.
Before that, the first 2 months I did a lot of SC, CR practice and was feeling somehow confident. I took some tests and my verbal score ranged between 35-38. I thought I was about to reach my tipping point and would soon start consistently hitting 40 mark.
Somehow, I have hit upon a wall in Verbal
. I am faring even worse in practice assignments and CATs. I've done a lot of work in verbal but there seems to be no improvement! In the last Knewton CAT, my verbal was a dismal 31.
I know where I am going wrong. Its mostly psychological. These days, when I read verbal questions, I am not able to register the details, something I was able to do effortlessly earlier (when I had zero preparation). Please tell me what I am heading to? I am really jittery about verbal. Now I have to work my way from 31 to 42 which is a daunting task.
I have a reading habit and I've read a few of the books mentioned in the GMAT Fiction. I dont understand how do I motivate myself. I've read MGMAT SC, LR Bible and did SC/CR from OG11. I use an error log too.
To make matters worse, my SC accuracy has gone down too - which I'd improved after a lot of efforts in the first 2 months of my prep. Nothing is going right for me at this moment. Please advise whether its normal. Is there anything I wouldve to do differently? Should I take a few days off my prep?
I would be delighted to hear from you.
Regards,
Y

If I were you, I'd take a few days off and gather yourself/clear your head. It's probably mostly psychological right now. After a few days off, devise a written plan of attack. Go through MGMAT SC again and make sure you use the error log to your full advantage. Prepping well is not the number of practice questions you do, but what you learn from the ones you get incorrect. If your SC accuracy is going down, that is probably the reason your overall V score is dropping. Make sure to focus on SC during the rest of your studies.
