I have been preparing for the GMAT since July 2024 (second attempt, the previous score was 595 Q86 V81 D 71).
I've enrolled with TTP to strengthen my fundamentals and have been attempting questions from there and GMATclub forums. I know that my verbal and DI are weak compared to quant (Indian, engineer), but I can't seem to cross 645 in practice tests for some reason.
The previous test I took was practice test 2 where I scored 645 but I feel like I should discount the score mostly because I've taken that test numerous times (repeated questions).
To resolve my issues with verbal, I started reading articles from The Economist and Reuters, newsletters from Wharton and McKinsey and scholarly papers (for my full-time job). The strategy includes breaking down each sentence, observing how they relate to each other and finding conclusions.
For DI, my weakness was going through the graph too quickly (observation from Error Logs) but I haven't made any improvement in this Practice Test.
My order for this test is Verbal->DI->Quant. Replicated test conditions. Q80 V81 DI 78.
My first attempt followed the order Quant -> DI ->Verbal (this made the verbal section too hard for me).
Any advice/suggestions are welcome.

You're definitely on the right track! For verbal, keep practicing with those articles and focus on breaking down complex sentences, as you're doing. For DI, try slowing down when analyzing graphs since you've noticed rushing is an issue. Sticking with the Verbal -> DI -> Quant order seems to help, so keep that up. Also, avoid relying too much on repeated practice tests – try a fresh one for a clearer picture of your progress. Lastly, keep using your error logs to target weak spots. You've got a solid plan, just keep refining it!

Hi albert_jokelin,
Things are looking pretty good! Regarding your path forward, continue to work through the TTP study plan, and if you can complete the course in full, you should be set for your GMAT. I'm here if you need me.
