For the GMAT Verbal, if you're a native speaker and proficient in grammar/writing. How do you improve your score? Simply practice? Or focus on re-learning formal grammar? i.e. Clauses, etc.

I found that doing practice problems and then reviewing the ones I got wrong and the ones I was unsure on was the best method

I am not a master of "proper grammar" but I know when a sentence reads well and when something is wrong. Will pure repetition be enough? I scored in the 85th percentile in my first practice exam fwiw.

*For verbal that is

Exam practice and more exam practice is the key to all exams like this. Do what a1 says. Find as many different exam practice material as possible

Awesome, thanks guys. I was dreading having to re learn definitions for past participles and shit

I was in a similar situation regarding score and knowledge. I'd recommend reading through MGMAT sentence correction. Great resource for strategies and will help clear up iffy grammar concepts. Sucks in the moment but it's satisfying when you see the results

I work for an ins. Company for 3 years as a case manager. I started at 70k, and have met goals and performed well, meeting all expectations required. I now only make around 75k. Recently another teammate, who has only been here for 3 months was offered between 80-85k to retain her, but she declined to make 6 figures as a COO. I, in-turn, am asking for an increase in salary. We just started a specialty program where I am doing 2-3 times the expected amount of work and now EXCEEDING

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
