Hello GMAT Club members,
I am planning a retake on my GMAT to boost my Verbal score (details of my past performances in my profile). In the past, I haven't used any regimental program (classroom or online) while preparing for the GMAT. My last shot at GMAT was in December 2012 and in-spite of my good understanding of the core concepts (as compared to my first take, I was more thorough and used the Manhattan Guides extensively), I messed up the Verbal section specifically on the time management part. In fact, I had exactly 5 minutes for the last 12 questions and I randomly guessed answers. Even then I ended up with a 35, and overall score of 700. In the GMAT prep tests I was scoring in the range of 39-42 on the Verbal
My questions to you guys would be:-
1. What would be the best strategy to work on my weakness? Should I opt for a course that disciplines me on time management and at the same time helps me revise the concepts?
2. If the answer to the above question is a 'yes', which one would you guys recommend? I have heard good reviews for GMAT Pill, e-GMAT and the Economist GMAT Tutor. I would not be able to take time out for a classroom course because of my tight schedule and work commitments. So an online course is my only re-course (pun-intended![:P]( "Razz")
)
I am open to other suggestions and ideas on this. Thanks!![]()
