Am I on the right path to get 164+ in verbal?

GRE Verbal Problem Solving
1

I am on week 4 of 2month GregMag prep, in total I am planning for a preparation of 3 months to take GRE. In mock test after 1 week of prep I got 168 and 151 in quant and verbal respectively. Evidently it seems my verbal is far behind than my target score of 332. I am giving GRE big book test for text completion as given in gregmat prep and getting a score of (10-13) out of 14 constantly. Upon discussing with people it seems that this is the most easy section and I should be getting full with respect to my target score.

Wanted to confirm if getting this score is usual to improve till my target score or am I missing something or more practice can improve this?

Any help would be great.

For context, I got a 164V on my last GRE.

Sounds like you’re only halfway through the 2 month plan, so once you complete that I’d expect you to have improved on your verbal skills. Your timing is odd though. It sounds like you’ll finish the program 2 months early, which feels like a bad idea.

If I was in your position, I’d finish the two month program, than build a regimen for myself to make sure I didn’t lose any of my skills. This might include GMAT questions, doing the mini-GRE tests in GregMat+, going through PrepSwift material, and taking the PowerPrep+ Tests 1, 2, and 3 (they’re 40 bucks each sadly, so if you don’t want to spend that type of money then you can skip this step). Big Book is great for Verbal practice material as well.
