Need help!
I took GMAT twice.
First - around 3 years ago and second - Today.
Last time, I scored 590 [Q49, V22] and today 530[Q44, V20].
It was so hard to see clearly while driving back home.
Last few months, I thought I was focused, I knew what I had to do to improve especially verbal.
I thought I had tools in my repertoire this time, unlike last time.
For last 5-6 months, I have been reading NY Times and Economist, though, I admit I didn't really analyze the paragraphs.

To improve on verbal, I referred following books-
1: PowerScore CR Bible
2: Manhattan SC
3: PowerScore Bible
4: Manhattan RC

I spent last 2 days on 700+ level SC questions and the success rate was around 80% - it seems all the questions I got wrong were in that I didn't understand the meaning clearly.

In last 2-3 months, I took following practice test -
MGMAT CAT 1 - 650 Q44, V35
MGMAT CAT2 - 630 Q42, V34
MGMAT CAT 3 - 660 Q43, V37
MGMAT CAT4 - 600 Q42, V32

In last month-
GMATPrep 1- 710 , 740 (I think scored were inflated as I'd already worked on 700+ Quant questions and as there were quite a few repeat questions.)

For some reason, I was quite anxious today. I think I wrote a pretty good (awa-argument) but got out of time ; hit 'Next' button too late. I guess I will know when official score arrives in a week or so.
Also I exceeded my break time, after AWA, by 1 min and 38 seconds

I don't know what to do now. I am in my 30's. May be to obtain MBA degree from a reputed school will remain a dream.

Thank you,

I read that the last 2 MGMAT tests are easier than the rest to boost your confidence. I will use the official test sim for a more accurate estimate.

Thank you all for replying.
I'm still a little bit depressed - I was quite confident that I would get at least 660 or so.
I thought I had decent command on Quant but now that I reflect back , I can easily recall that almost in all the practice tests I took, I had to rush through last 4-5 questions at least.

I definitely have pacing issue, especially for verbal questions though I think that I understand (obviously my gmat scores tell otherwise) most of SC, CR and RC questions.

Obviously in some CR questions, I struggle to correctly understand answer choices - sometimes they don't match at all what I guess it should be after reading questions stem and argument.

In a nutshell, it's about pacing and pacing translates to understanding concepts to a certain extent.
I still need to figure out what kind of CR questions I have difficulty with - is there any way I can find easily?

And of course, I still need to understand how to make best use of this great forum.

Thank you,
Mahi
