Verbal Worries

This past weekend I had planned on doing some extra practice questions along with taking a full length test. Due to some immediate family needs, I didnt get a chance to even touch the GMAT yesterday. Between taking a practice test and doing more practice questions from the OG, I decided on the latter and tried to keep the breakdown of the questions similar to a full length test. Essentially I did 42 Verbal and 37 Quantitative questions roughly broken up equally into the SC, RC, PS, DS and CR.

So far I have completed about a fifth of the OG questions (300 or so in total or 60 from each section), and the Quantitative seems to be well under control except for the ocassional twister. Verbal continues to be more of a worry with a hit rate of about 70-75% on an average. On today's practice set, I got 34/41 in Verbal and 36/37 in Quantitative. I was also thinking, perhaps the tougher sets are yet to come given that I am only in the 60s right now. That underlines my need to improve on Verbal even more.

Hopefully with more practice this week, I will continue to gain confidence on Verbal.
