I had taken gmat last year around september 2016, scored 650 (q49, v28). Needed at least 700 as I am from India.
Retake 1: After 25 days, scored 600 (q48, v25)...no idea of what happened here.
Retake 2: Took 3rd GMAT on 10/10/17, Scored 620(q49, v25). didnt accept score. During the verbal section in exam I was out of time. In the verbal section I was going well at the start. I had solved 7 questions in 15 minutes. Then i got stuck in RC and things went from bad to horrible thereafter. In the end I had 20 questions to solve in 20 minutes. I knew it was over for me. But somehow finished the test. What might be wrong guys? Please suggest ways of improvement. I had taken
egmat course in Feb 2017, finished it by June 2017. Still didnt see improvement. What is wrong here?
Please help me. Suggestions ?? Badly need 700+.
As you know, and probably don't want to hear, you need to refocus on your verbal score. A q49 is more than adequate to break the 700 barrier with a good verbal. Time management is also an issue and likely cost you several points on this latest test. Perhaps fatigue as well, if you took the verbal section at the end.
I would suggest ordering an ESR and seeing which sections were your weakest in verbal. Reading comprehension is tough for non natives, especially technical passages, but you may have done poorly on other sections as well. Depending on how the ESR turns out, 1 on 1 coaching or enrolling in a class may be the best option if you don't want to try another self paced course like
egmat. They are costly, but they almost always help scores improve
