Hello Experts and Buddy
I gave my last attempt on 16.08.2022 and got only 550 (Q48, V17) after preparing for almost 2 months. That score was shocking for me as I scored 640 in GMAC Official Mock. Link for that forum post is - https://gmatclub.com/forum/my-disastrou ... 97282.html
Now again after preparing about 1 and a half months (mostly focused on GMAT Official Material) I gave another attempt on 31 July, 2023. In this attempt i got only 570 (Q48, V20). This is at least 100 points less than what i expected. In order to understand the issue. I ordered ESR Report of the exam. I request [b]GMATNinja bb Bunuel and other experts to go through it and help me to understand that what i should do next[/b]. I am needed to retake the exam within 2 months in order to apply R2 & R3 of IIMs and ISB. Please help.
For more information, i want to inform you that I have already purchased e-GMAT course and got meagre improvement at all. Now please help me to understand that in which section should i focus and where to prepare from.

Consider including a study buddy into your prep. Given your Q48, if you can find someone who is very strong on Verbal but needs help with Quant, that could be a good fit. For RC, if you want to practice reading without burning Official RCs, using similar articles from The Economist may be helpful.

Hi yogesh122,
I'm sorry to hear that this 2nd attempt did not turn out better - and the results are remarkably similar to your 1st Official Scores (meaning that you likely developed some 'bad habits' during your earlier studies that are still keeping you from scoring at a higher level now). Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. However, you will clearly have to make some fundamental changes to how you 'see' (and respond to) the Exam before you will be able to hit your Goal Score.
Before we discuss the data in your ESR, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) What type of study routine have you been following over the last 1.5 months? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) Is your overall goal score still 700+?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
