can someone please give some guidance?

Hi,

First mock:
I have been preparing for GMAT for good 10 months now (3-4 everyday).
The first 3-4 months, I used magoosh and Manhattan Books to get a holistic understanding of the exam and concepts.
Thereafter I gave an official mock and scored a 550 in January.


I analysed and realised that I was barely able to finish 18-19 questions in verbal and timing was a big issue for me.
I worked on timing, increasing my reading speed, and In quant, I figured out which concepts I am not clear on and studied them thoroughly; I learnt that there were a lot of them.

Second mock:
I then gave the second mock in May and got a 630.

Till this point I had been practicing from other sources, but hadn’t touched the OG questions yet.

Third mock:
May onwards I read multiple forums and realised that studying OG questions was extremely important and since then I focused rigorously on it.
I did 5 questions of SC, 5 of CR everyday and then analysed them thoroughly.
For quant, I started with Gmat club tests, and again I was very good with my analysis.


Everyday I would note down the level of questions I’m practicing and accuracy of the questions.
In 600-700 questions, my accuracy was between 75%-100%
And in 700+ questions, it was around 50%

So, I knew I’m not able to ace the hard questions as of now.

Apart from this I practiced 1 RC everyday, and got a good accuracy.

After all this hard work, I gave a mock and got 700.

I was extremely content, because I knew I’m going in the right direction by practicing OG questions and analysing them.
I again analysed my mock, and noticed I wasn’t able to solve the 700+ questions, so I decided to focus on them, watch some videos to learn those concepts, I was also weak in coordinate geometry, so I worked on fixing that.

Here my score was V35, Q49


Fourth Mock:

2 weeks later, after practicing 5-10 SC, CR questions everyday, doing 2-3 RC’s everyday, I started seeing a huge improvement.

Everyday I would practice 3-4 RC’s and in a timed manner, I would get a score of 75%-100%.

I also was able to solve the hard level CR and SC questions quite conveniently.

I was also doing well in quant on gmat club tests.

Then I took a mock again, and my score was 530!
V28, Q36

My exam is in two weeks.
I know skill and capability wise I am ready.

I’ve given around 10 months of dedicated practice.
I’ve constantly analysed my mistakes.
I’ve worked on substantially improving my reading speed.

This mock score was lower than what I got in January, when my preparation level was nothing.

I’m extremely disheartened and I really don’t know what more I can do.
Any advice would be really appreciated!!

Note - 1 different that happened in the last mock was, I stumbled on the first question of verbal and ended up taking too much time.

And in quant, I got a very hard question on my 2nd question which unknowingly I ended up giving 7 mins to and then had to slightly rush though.
However overall I was able to finish the paper, but I dint double check most questions.
Could this be a possible reason for the drop!
