Hi All ,
I am a working professional who was able to squeeze every weekend and post office hours for GMAT Prepration .
I was getting 700+ score consistently (minimum 700) in OG Mocks .I had also purchased a test prep mock ,in which my initial score (before prep )was 640 ,towards the end I got 740 in that too .
I gave all the mocks in proper exam like condition as far as possible .
Unfortunately ,I got 650 in the GMAT .
I have exhausted all the OG mocks there.Not sure how it went so wrong .Only thing I remember is that I rushed through verbal section from 28-36 .But then too ,in my OG mocks I was getting V34-v38 .
I was not too much anxious either ,as far as I could tell .Maybe I got numb or something .It is very hard to digest that months of prep lead to nothing ,just similar score as I started off with .
I will be ordering an ESR ,have exhausted OG and tests ,along withe major portion of test prep material .
Open to suggestions /recommendations ,should I reappear ,should I cancel my score ,should I prepare again .
Thanks in Advance .

Hi gmatattempt02,
I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) On what date did you take your Official GMAT and what were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used besides the Official ones?
4) 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:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you (and you can feel free to email it directly to me).

For Verbal, consider working on your solving approach. May boost your score a bit. Had a 6-hour student go from a V31 to a V40 in about 30 days. Perhaps find a study buddy. In case you've finished all the Official Guide questions, check out the Online only question banks.
