Hello MP! I do not know if this question is too specific or broad. I took a MP GMAT course in the fall and already had the post exam assessment. It has been over a month since the post exam assessment, and my verbal score has not improved from my initial baseline CAT.
I started the course toward the end of August and finished in October. I then took the GMAT in November and have now studied for another month. My initial CAT (alongside other CATS I took in preparation for the official exam), official exam, and CAT I just took today all hover around a 34-36 Verbal score.
I was told that I need to work on inference questions, but clearly there is something wrong here to remain so stagnant beyond inference questions. In your experience, what may be preventing me from staying in the mid 30s score range? I do not feel that timing is an issue, although I do finish too early sometimes. I am a native speaker and have been following Manhattan Prep's verbal strategy guides religiously. I have notes for each section and then apply what I learn to timed OG sets. This may be tough to answer, but is there any general advice for someone who is stuck in the mid 30s for so long? I am feeling very demotivated over this and was hoping that after the course I would at least see some movement. The post course assessment teacher seemed optimistic that I could crack it, but if you have hovered at this score for so long and have been following MP's advice, is there anywhere to go from here? It would be a dream to score at least a 39 on verbal
