Dear All, hope you are doing well

I took GMAT last November and I scored :( 460 (Q34,V20)

now I am going to take the exam again on the 16th of june , after 8 days

my practice test results :

28th of May , GMAT prep test 2 540 (Q44,V20)
1st of June , GMAT prep test 1 460 (Q41, V14)
2nd of June, Manhattan free practice Exam 530 (Q38, v25)
3rd of June, Economist free practice Exam430 (Q31,V20)
6th of June, Veritas free practice Exam590 (Q44, V27)
7th of June, Kaplan free practice Exam530 (Q64, V16)

I need to get any score more than 550
what you all advice me to do in those last 8 days , is it will be easy for me to get more than 550
I tried many times to raise my Verbal but with no results , English is not my native language any way
is there any other good tests I can do

I would go over the verbal sections of all the tests you have taken and thoroughly analyse the questions you got wrong. Try to identify any patterns in your mistakes and ensure that you will never make those mistakes again! With just this much, you should see your confidence increase, and the result will hopefully be an increased verbal, and hence GMAT, score.

I think it's very possible. Ensure that you thoroughly review each question. As you analyse the questions one by one, try to apply what you learned on the previous questions to the next question that you analyze.

If you are low on confidence, then you can consider rescheduling your exam -- unless there is an application deadline you are working toward.

Congratulations! I was going to suggest you to use the GMAT Score calculator in GMATClub, but I am a little bit late!

Anyway, kudos for your score :)
Also, people say GMAT Prep 2 is closer to the real thing than any other test :P
