Hi fellows,
I took my second attempt today, and I am bashful to report my score that I got 500 Q-47 V -13 compared to 560 that I got last year 560 Q-46 V-22. In my gmat preps, I never scored below 22 in verbal, however, in real gmat I am shocked to see this score. I was under the impression that I was doing well since I saw two bold faced questions as told by someone in the forums, those who are doing well might encounter with bold faced questions.
I need some help from a stranger who had provided me the valuable source(gmat quantum) in improving the quant score from 33 to 46-47. I see that my comprehension skills are not that great and at the same time i get lost on the questions where language is so convoluted. By profession, I am an Engineer and even sometimes I doubt that am I so dumb that I am not able to get a decent score in verbal. Not to boast myself, graduated both Bachelors and Masters(state university) in Engineering with high academic performance.
what worked for other fellows might not be working for me such as enrollment in e-gmat, empower gmat etc., I truly attribute my improvement in SC that reached 80% accuracy to e-gmat as it thought the foundations from the ground level. However, today I am not able to get that accuracy as I spiraled out with the convolution involved in the questions. I am looking that divine angel help that would help in improving the verbal score as the same sort of help from some unknown person landed me with the decent score in Quant.
Note: I have cancelled my score and I am surprise that I don't see the IR score on my screen before cancelling the score. Does it happen to anyone ?
Thank you
signing off with utter devastation (krish).

Hi Krish,
First of all you need to be patient. It happens with people and some times people need as many as 3/4 attempts to achieve their target score.
The universities also consider the highest score only.
Going by what you have written, I feel the following problems:
1. Not understanding the concepts and jumping in solving the problems
2. Not taking FULL Length mock CATs including AWA and IR (I may be wrong, but many times people just take Quants and Verbal and this does not prepare them for the 4 hours GMAT)
Did you prepare an error log during your preparation?
Did you solve all the Official Guide questions?

I didn't kept any error log for Verbal,however, I took all the gmat prep exams with AWA and IR included.
I completed not only offical guides both 12 and 13 but also gmat question pack 1 and in addtion gmat verbal review books.
Here are my preparation materials:
OG 12 and 13
verbal and Quant review
e-gmat for verbal
gmatquantum for Quant
mgmat SC,CR
powerscore CR bible.
Sometimes, I wonder if preparing for gmat would take years to complete then is it a good choice in choosing a career with MBA?
