I have this particular problem. When I study Verbal consistently, my accuracy stays in shape or increases. But whenever I do not study verbal for say 10-15 days, I need some time to get back on track. This does not happen with quant.
Another scenario is whenever I wake up and attempt a few CR questions, I get them incorrect while later in the day when I attempt the same questions the result is the opposite.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this normal?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi sahilsnpt,
After working with GMAT students for the past 15 years, I can say that both of your issues are in fact normal.
The verbal skills tested on the GMAT do not come naturally to all test-takers. Thus, many people studying for the GMAT have to work very hard and CONSISTENTLY not only to improve their verbal skills but also to ensure that those skills remain at a high level. So, when you take 15 days off from verbal prep, it’s not shocking that when you restart, you are a little rusty when answering verbal questions.
Regarding your second issue, it’s likely that you are not a “morning person,” meaning that you probably do not perform as well in the morning as you do later in the day. Thus, try to study in the afternoons/evenings and take your actual GMAT at a time later in the day.
Outside of the issues mentioned, how are things coming along with your prep? When is your GMAT?
Feel free to reach out with further questions.
Good luck!
