Again I will remind you that the schedule has branched into two: Verbal Focus and Math Focus. If you feel that you need more focus on Verbal, you should choose the Verbal Focus. But, if you think you are good in Verbal but need more focus on Math topic, choose the Math focus. I suppose you have already done this in the start of the last week. So continuing this week from last we will finish the rest of the material. Enjoy! Choose your branch: Verbal Focus OR Math Focus Branch A: Verbal Focus This week we will take up from where we left last week in SC. We will finish revisiting the Manhattan Sentence Correction.

Read MoreWelcome! Congratulations on getting past the Build phase. Half the battle is won at this point. From here on we will start the Recovery Phase, followed by Advanced Phase and then finally the Test phase. In this phase the goal will be to tweak areas in which you are weak. By now, you have a fair idea as to where you need more help. If you feel that you need more focus on Verbal, you should devote next 2 weeks for Verbal followed by 1 week on Quants. But, if you think you are good in Verbal but need more focus on Math topic, devote next 2 weeks to Quants followed by 1 week to Verbal. So the Recovery phase will have two branches.

Read MoreBefore we start this week, I would like to tell you something important. On the GMAT you have 75 minutes for 41 questions in Verbal. That is less than 2 minutes per question. And if you consider the relative toughness of SC, CR and RC questions, the recommended time to solve problems from each category is: 50 SC questions per hour, 7 Passages or approx 42 questions from RC per hour and 38 questions from CR per hour. When you solved the Kaplan Verbal last week, the practice test had similar times for these sections. Now considering this the target time, I have designed the following week. It has got some slack, but it is the least you have to aim. So let’s get down...
