Hi all,
I am an international student. Yesterday I took my the GMAT for the 3rd time.
First attempt (Dec, 2012) 550 Q39 V28
Second attempt (Feb 2013) 550 Q44 V 22
Prior to the 3rd attempt, I was very confident because I've studied through all GMATPill Verbal videos, all Manhattan books, OG-13 and VR-2. I feel that I am so READY and that my verbal has improved a lot. Also, I took the GMATPrep CAT 3 times (once a week) before the real exam, and the scores are 650, 710 and 650. My Q always gets around 47-50, and V gets around 29-37. These scores have calmed my nerve.
So yesterday, I was calm and healthy and alert during the whole exam. However, I was short on time in both Q and V section so I had to guess quite a lot...maybe 5-7 questions on each section. I know I need to do faster...
I was hoping to get at least 600 this time, but to my surprise, I only got 500 Q39 V20. I couldnt believe it was true. I feel so upset, lost and angry to myself, because I feel that I am disappointing my husband, my in-laws and my parents
The school I want to get in only requires me to have 600. Is it achievable for me??? I am so lost right now. I need your advise! I would like to take it again, maybe for the last time in Aug. I only need to get 600....please help

Hi there,
It's great that you know that timing strategy is likely your problem.
Here's a recent blog post we wrote that featured a student who increased his score by over 100 points by improving his timing strategy:
