Took it yesterday; painful to write a debrief.
Registered again to take the exam on Nov 30.
MGMAT 1 650 (Q44 V35) Three weeks before the exam
MGMAT 2 720 (Q47 V40) Two weeks before the exam
MGMAT 3 700 (Q46 V 39) Two weeks before the exam
GMAT Prep 1, without any preperations. Three months before the exam 650 (Q44 V32)
GMAT Prep 2 One month before the exam -- 700 (Q49 V36)
GMAT Prep 1 Three weeks before the exam -- 680 (Q49 V34)
GMAT Prep 2 One week before the exam -- 740 (Q50 V40)
GMAT Prep 1 (deleted exam log files) One day before the exam -- 750 (Q51 V40)
On the verbal portion of the exam, question 17 was a boldface CR question. On my 740 and 750 attempts I got a boldface on the 18th and 16th question respectively. So I was quite confident I was doing well. My time management on Verbal was, however, horrible. The final score shattered me.
Am now going to focus heavily on the verbal part of the exam.
What can I do to improve my verbal time management, especially on the RC's? Short SC's are manageble in one minute, but the ones I got on the exam were INSANE. OG and GMAT PREP questions are very easy.
Could really use some help here. I know I can cross the 700 mark. Need some test taking tips. Like most, I too can answer Verbal questions correctly, PROVIDED I have more time -- therein lies my problem

Sid-
I had a similar problem with RC. I guess the only way out is to practice RC daily. I am going back to MGMAT's RC guide. Earlier, i had ignored it suggests note taking but looks like that is an option i need to take into consideration for my retake.
How was the quant as compared to OG/Gmat prep.
Cheers!

Looking at your practice tests, you can definitely do better on the Verbal portion.
Take a look at this thread - should be right what you need - feel free to post any questions you have there:

Nov 30 is a good date - it is doable in 6 weeks. Get a GMAT Calendar or some kind of a schedule and plan things out.
