Success Factors
Kudos[?]:20538[171],given: Have you ever created a report or a presentation that you were truly proud of? Maybe it was in the 7th grade or in college. Something that
4339 you felt you could impress someone with or perhaps a project that had an amazing level of attention to detail? It did not have to be
appreciated or recognized but if anyone looked at it, they saw that a lot of work, effort, time, and love was put into it. Think of that now
you must do the same for the verbal section of the GMAT if you are serious about getting a solid verbal score.

Without commitment/obsession/love for the GMAT, it will be hard to achieve a serious improvement. Even before we get started with this
plan, there are certain success factors (study habits) that must followed for all of these recommendations to work. Your success will be
greatly determined by how much you are willing to follow these:
Do not rush
Spend the good hours of the day to study for the GMAT if you study at night, on the train, or between TV shows, your learning will be
sloppy and results will be inconsistent
You must be methodical if you read about the sequence of tenses and you have no idea what it is and it is not covered in your SC
book you must learn it elsewhere
Make notes (not in the book since that's a lazy ass way that does not work. Actually do not write anything in the book). If you see
something valuable/new write it out in your notebook CURRENTST

Preface

http://gmatclub.com/forum/studyplanforverbalgmat9834260.html 1/10
8/25/2016 "Ultimate"StudyPlanforVerbalontheGMAT:GMATVerbalSectionPage4
Before you start, make sure you have taken a diagnostic test and my suggestion is taking a GMAT Prep. Many believe that you waste a very
valuable test by taking it early (these are the real gmat test questions and this is the most accurate predictor of your score). However, I
would still suggest you do (here is why I think you are not wasting it). If you are not convinced, feel free to take any other one and use
gmat score calculator to adjust.
Start with area you are most comfortable with: CR, RC, or SC

Part 1: Sentence Correction (SC)

SC was the easiest section for me, partially because I had to study English grammar for another test (English Language proficiency test
similar to TOEFL), and I thought SC was the most clearcut section. SC is based on rules and assuming you know the rules it is very clear
which answer option is right it is not something subjective such as CR or RC, which requires logic/processing. The key to SC was learning
all the rules (which were finite) and once I knew most of them, answering SC's was easy. (not sure if you caught this, but in the last 2
sentences I switched from past to present and back to the past tense. Not something traditionally considered correct and I hope you caught
it; if not you will have to train your ear. More on that later).

1. Use one of the following books (MGMAT SC, PowerScore SC, or VeritasPrep SC) to study for SC and to nail down the strategy. MGMAT SC
and PowerScore SC are very similar in terms of content/strategies and it is usually not recommended to get both. If you want additional
help you can get VeritasPrep SC or Kaplan Verbal Workbook. (I have studied using Kaplan Verbal Workbook and found their strategies
solid and effective but MGMAT/Powerscore/VeritasPrep provide more indepth coverage).
2. Extra Step: 13 extra weeks
If you are not a native speaker, before you start tackling SC, you should get a good grip on English Grammar. I would suggest using the
best & free GMAT grammar book GMAT Club's Grammar Book. However, you are welcome to use any other resources you can find
such as MGMAT Verbal Foundations, Doing Grammar, Kaplan Verbal Foundations & notes scattered across this forum (most prominent are
listed at the bottom of this section).
3. Start reading fiction books plan to read 1,000 2,000 pages before the test. You are welcome to start reading The Economist or Wall
Street Journal but I would argue (you are welcome to disagree) that it is not an effective way to train your ear. On the other hand,
reading fiction with intricate plots that capture your attention and stay on your mind are a much better way to train your ear for SC. I
have compiled a list of books I call GMAT Fiction (also read the introduction before the fiction list). The books are just some broad
recommendations for books you can find in a local library that found very interesting and thought of recommending for everyone. I have
provided a short synopsis next to each title. Reading a significant number of pages that you actually WANT to read helps to
subconsciously train your ear. You will be much better at recognizing sentences that sound off, be able to deal with complex structures,
and just a lot more comfortable with English Grammar. I would say this was the most critical component of my SC strategy which
allowed me to get V42 (96th percentile in verbal). Reading fiction allowed me to spend less than 1 minute on each SC, thus save enough
time to tackle my nemesis Reading Comprehension
4. Create notes & error log (computer notes work great and you can download an error log here but so do notebooks). Write out the
following items:
1. List of all questions you got wrong along with reasons why (you will use this list as your "custom exercise list"
2. Every trap you encounter (there are not that many for SC; more relevant for other sections)
3. Important items such as new rules and new words you may not be familiar with
4. Your SC checklist. When you have gone though the underlined part of the sentence and nothing seems wrong or worse two options
seems correct you have two choices: 1) read through others and find differences and see if those differences were incorrect, thus
possibly conclude that "A" was the correct answer or 2) Run through a checklist of items you may have forgotten to check (the less
frequent rules) such as passive voice, vague pronouns, illogical construction, etc (sorry I don't have my own list anymore). I found it GMATRESOU
to be much faster to mentally run through this one (takes me 10 seconds) and see that nothing is wrong with the sentence than the
first approach. You can build this list from your error log. Here is a great example of an SC Checklist:
scstrategieschecklist107121.html
5. SC Resources:
GMAT Grammar Book Free
Compilation of 20 questions on As/Like
Get better at SC with videos
Free GMAT Pill Sentence Correction Videos

Part 2: Critical Reasoning (CR)

The only reason CR is part 2 is because it was the second easiest topic (this may come in a different order for you).

1. Step 1: Get the right tools & materials (See the latest verbal book reviews) and don't try to save $5 on $200,000 degree. Most feel that
the PowerScpre CR is the best book out there (it is actually a complete replica of the LSAT book by PowerScore, just without some of
the LSATunique sections). The other two books you may want to consider are the MGMAT CR and Veritas Prep CR (2 books actually).
2. Alternative Materials: Another alternative is the Kaplan Verbal Workbook (not as detailed as the other book options and probably does
not fit the description of "ultimate" but it has solid info and strategies in it, just maybe a tad short but works very well if you are short
on time. Same applies to the PowerScore Verbal Bible a generally unknown book.
3. Optional Step: something that worked for me was treating CR as a game. You may think it is sick (and it probably is) but it sure helps
make GMAT more fun. My favorite question type was Assumption questions it was a world I never knew existed and I made a habit of
trying to pin down the assumption an author made in a magazine, book, or anything else I read. I would also read through GMAT
questions I have done in the past (not assumption questions) and would still try to pin down the assumption. It was a game, it was fun,
and I got very good with assumptions, which not only helps with CR but is also very valuable when you have to prove your point or build
an argument
4. There are a lot of resources out there, including what we have in the CR forum. My suggestion would be that you give all of these
resources a fair chance but don't waste your time on them. Spend 80% of your time on the book you have selected to be your CR guide.
5. You may have built your confidence on the Math section and SC but now comes the time that requires you to be humble and follow
instructions for the CR and RC sections, it is absolutely critical that you follow the strategy in the book exactly as it is laid out. You
may disagree, you may feel that reading the question first is a waste of time or perhaps trying to answer the question in your own words
is a waste of time but you will be proven wrong. You can take it from me or find out yourself feel free to choose. My suggestion is that
you follow strategy/directions exactly as they are.
6. The most helpful exercise on the CR for me (and a real eye opener) was answering the question without reading the choices first. You
must be able to do this. If you can't do it, don't even bother moving along. You must answer every CR question in your own words first
that's the best and only strategy you can depend on to work for you and to save you time.
7. More important than for any other question type is to train your ear with the official questions before you take the exam. You are
welcome to use any book you want, but it is important that you go through a good set of questions from the Official Guide or GMAT Prep
at the final stage. Many test providers are good at matching official questions in math or SC but they have the hardest time imitating the
logic behind the official questions, and so they are always a little bit off. They are great for practice but you need to finetune your ear
before the test.

Part 3: Reading Comprehension (RC)

My most feared enemy and the hardest section was RC I had a 4050% success rate on it when just working on exercises in a book and if I
took a test or computer based exercises where I could not control/extend time, the result was very often even worse. My challenge was
lack of time to read the passage I would rush through the passage, trying to catch as much details as possible (I have taken some speed
http://gmatclub.com/forum/studyplanforverbalgmat9834260.html 2/10
8/25/2016 "Ultimate"StudyPlanforVerbalontheGMAT:GMATVerbalSectionPage4
reading classes when I was 14 or 15 but I am not sure about their value if anything they gave me the wrong strategy) and at the end, walk
out with a lot of details but unable to answer half the questions. I would then spend 23 mins per question trying to find the answer in the
passage and rereading the same sections of the passage over and over again. You are probably noticing that something is off with this
strategy but I did not when I was answering the questions I thought that was the best I could do. I have read the strategy of reading the
entire passage first carefully (make notes, analyze authors tone, etc) but I did not think it was for me. I felt it was for native speakers who
could read fast, get through the content, and not get bogged down in words they did not know. But after a week of really bad results (50%
is really bad), and no other alternatives, I have tried the method of reading the full text. At first, I just did it to see how long it would take
me to do this option, so I timed myself just reading the passage. I believe it was about 6 minutes. Then i answered 4 questions following it
and that took 3 minutes (much less time than usual per question) but overall, it was 9 minutes (not very good if you only have 110 seconds
per question or under 2 mins). However, the good news was that I got 3 out of 4 right (not a big deal since it could be a fluke). I practiced a
few more passages and the results were very encouraging and impressive. I got close to 80% success rate based on 4 passages and 16
questions. Now my focus was to cut down reading time taken per question (I was never really able to improve it) and to answer more
questions correctly (80% is good but 90% is better). What I ended up doing at the end was improving my SC and CR timing enough to
compensate for my reading deficiency (more of this is covered in the timing strategies on the GMAT). I attribute my 96th verbal percentile
to this reading strategy as well as reading fiction books and being comfortable with complex texts with unknown words.

1. There are 2 main books for RC: Manhattan GMAT RC and Veritas Prep RC. Both are fairly skinny VERBALEXPE
2. Alternative Materials: both of the mentioned above books that are generally shorter but are not as detailed either: Kaplan Verbal
Workbook and PowerScore Verbal Bible.
3. Polish your strategy (RC strategies are discussed here)
4. Read Fiction (more about this here: GMAT Fiction)
5. Learn to read text from the author perspective GMAT does not care about details or facts. That's there to throw you off and keep your
mind off the main element the reason and purpose of the passage/paragraph/sentence. When you read a passage you may see a lot of
facts, like leaves on a tree, but the key is to see the purpose behind it, that's similar to seeing the branches and the tree trunk that's
holding those leaves up. You must learn how to see through the leaves even if you may not see the branches behind them. Ask why the
author put this paragraph, why here, what is the tone, which direction does it go, and will it reverse at the end?

Thanks for posting. I took the MGMAT course and it was helpful. Unfortunately for me I took a month long vacation and forgot everything.
But now am in a rush to relearn everything in a month before the change in format. How many time did you read over the SC and RC books?

And get involved in the verbal forum. Post an answer and defend your choice. Don't just type "A." Again, that's passive and just plain
lazy. Tell us why A is correct and why B, C, D, and E are wrong. Even if your answer is basically the same as previous replies, do it
anyway! The ability to effectively explain verbal concepts to others is a strong sign that you truly understand the material.

I've been storming GMAT for 2 years already though with low intensity. RC kills me. It's my nightmare. When I read your comments on the
section I have come to realize that its just about me. Sure it'll help now. Hope in two months I'll post my story of how I got 750 .

What was your real exam experience in terms of Q difficulty?

I had practiced and studied from many resources but now i am only using Q's from Official resources such as OG12/13, QR/VR 1 and 2, and
QP1 to formalize my DDay Game Plan . People say that the real exam Q's are tougher than the official resources.
Am i making a mistake or its completely ok to do so?

I tried few of the tough problems (as per my error log) from VR 2 and OG12 again.
In CR and RC, I found that without taking abbreviated notes, i can not solve the Q's with confidence. The good part of the story is that with
Joined:03May2012
abbreviated notes my accuracy is close to 100%. It is so ironic is that i resisted taking notes until recently
Posts:69 But the bad part of the story is that i am taking around ~ 2 minutes (plus minus 15 seconds) to solve a CR Q.
Location:India
Concentration:Technology, In case of RC, the reading timing is ~4 minutes with 30 seconds plus minus variation. But after that i take ~1 minute 15 seconds with 15
Entrepreneurship second plus minus variation and with close to 100% accuracy. This timing data is for hard problems from QP1, OG12/13 etc.

Dont want to spam such an organised forum. Bear with me as my googling (read GMAT club searching) capabilities have proved redundant in
tracing the exact forum for such details...

Awesome in detail message....

Makes spending time on GMATClub completely worth it!

I gave GMAT 4 years back and managed a decent score of 730 (Q50, V40). It was just grit and self study...
With your advise and direction I am sure I can replicate, if not better my score.

Dear bb,

I have 5 weeks for my latest GMAT attempt. Quants have been improving exponentially, but the verbal seems to be stuck. I always
considered my verbal skills to be above average, and with a little practice would see me through. But looks like I was wrong and not just
once. I was frantically looking for a plan to help me improve my skills and I stumbled upon this plan . It is very very elaborate and I am
hoping that it will help me obtain the result I am hoping

Thanks a lot for your help
