RC Effective Improvement for 330+ (target 165V)
Scored a 311 in my first attempt (158Q, 153V) about a month ago with minimal prep (GregMat for 1–2 weeks), mainly to see whether this exam was for me and establish a baseline. Since then, I’ve been following PrepSwift for Quant and OMP for Verbal, and I’m halfway through the Vocab Mountain.
I’m hoping to retake in mid-May, with an eventual goal of 330+, but at minimum aiming for 325+ on this next attempt.
My main problem area is Reading Comprehension. Quant feels trainable and is improving, but RC is where I’m losing out. For context, I’ve attached my diagnostic report from the official attempt last month. I’m also working painstakingly through Greg’s RC Strategy videos and homework, and trying to approach RC more actively than before.
However, in a recent mock (ETS PowerPrep 2 – free diagnostic), 8 of my 13 verbal mistakes came from RC!
I want to use the next few weeks before my retake to focus heavily on improving RC. Any guidance from people who’ve made a similar jump, or from Greg/Vince, would be hugely appreciated.
