hi,
i am planning to take gmat in june , i am weak in verbal section can anybody suggest me how shud i improve my verbal section , and which books i shud refer to increase my score..
Thanks.
Start with the verbal tutorials and practice questions.
Each of these tutorials and sets of practice questions contains suggestions for further reading/practice if you need more study materials.
A good grammar book is an essential start point. I strongly recommend Prentice Hall's "Handbook for writers". It has an indepth coverage of grammar so you will have to filter out some information but it provides a good grounding for attacking the verbal section. Not sure if they have it in the press presently but you may find a used copy.
Thanks for the suggestion, it's still available on Amazon.
