Hi folks,
I took the GMAT test on 15th November after 2 months of preparation. Took five GMAT mocks and got the following scores:
GMAT Mock 1 - 540(Q37, V27) (July 2018 without preparation)
GMAT Mock 2 - 670(Q47, V35) (October 2018 during initial prep)
GMAT Mock 3 - 680(Q47, V35)(")
GMAT Mock 4 - 720(Q49,V39) (Final few days of preparation)
GMAT Mock 5 - 720(Q50,V38) November 14 - a day before the finale
Official GMAT score - 660(Q43,V38, IR-3, AWA-4.5)
Though I was aware of the uncertainties of the final exam day, the mock scores had boosted my confidence a little. But on the exam day, by the time I finished my quant section(the first section I opted for), I was almost sure that the final score screen wouldn't show a score anywhere close to 700. That was because I panicked at the 22nd question, with only 7 minutes left, and the section timed out before I could mark the answer for the final question.
I had prepared for the exam solely by following 9 of the Manhattan Prep guides for concept and the Official Guide in its entirety for practice. I also used to review all the questions which I got wrong during the practice.
After a month's break, I have decided to retake the test and I am aiming for a 720+. I feel that there is a lot of scope of improvement in many areas and the ESR has helped me a little in identifying them(not able to attach the esr since this is my first post). However, I still am not very sure about the approach that I should take to get my aimed score. I am afraid that I might end up losing my focus if I follow the same approach and same materials for the retake. I am also worried that if I do not focus equally on both quant and verbal, I might get a better score on quant but a lower one on verbal.
Please guide me.
