Hi everyone,
I have my 2nd GMAT attempt in 2 weeks.
My first attempt was back in 2011. Although my priority was to gain some work experience, I decided to write GMAT in case I would change my mind and decide to pursue my masters. I found it tough to balance my work and studies and didn't really prepare much. Needless to say, I scored pretty low - 580.
This time around, I am applying to Ms. Finance. Although, the minimum requirement is 600, I need to ensure i score as much as I can, so that can consider other schools in case the program's seats get exhausted.
I have completed Manhattan study guides for quant and am resorting to Kaplan 800 for Verbal.
Solving the problems posted in the forum with the timer (both quant and verbal)
I am planning to take the GMAT Club tests, the GMAT prep tests and probably the Veritas tests.
I would really appreciate some suggestions on improving the score.
Thanks,

I think that you need to take a diagnostic test. Do you remember your score breakdown from the first time that you took the test? That'd give you a sense of what to focus on. For example, if you got Q49 V20 580, you'd need to work on verbal. If you got a V40 Q31 580, you'd probably want to spend more time on quant.
You also need to get a sense of what type of questions you're missing within quant and verbal. I think the sentence correction questions can be tough, but learning a few simple rules can go a long way on the verbal section, and you could probably make a big improvement in a short amount of time. I saw an improvement of about 50 points in 1-2 weeks just from focusing on sentence corrections.
If you can identify specific areas that you need to work on, people are here could probably direct you to some good resources. There are plenty of discussions about how to prepare in general that can be found elsewhere on the forum, so I'd read through those as well.

I would suggest you to give some tests and analyse your score range. It will help you to find your improvement areas.
