Someone has rightly said " we must try to achieve the best within us" . I have prepared my mind and soul again for the next and final shot at GMAT.
I have score poorly in my first attempt (630) and planning to cross the 700 barrier this time.
I gave my first GMATPrep on 7 Jan 2017 and scored a 570 (Q47, V22, IR3)(out of touch with relevant studies for 5 years) and then ultimately scoring 630(Q47, V29, IR 6, AWA 6)(after 6-7 weeks of study) on the Actual GMAT
I am trying to prepare a plan to give my best shot this time.
Draft Plan:
Verbal (Practice + Reading NYT, Books, Novels)
SC : Solve every official question on the planet with an error log
CR : Solve every official question + LSAT questions
RC : Practice all questions
Quant (Practice + Timing)
PS: Solve official questions and work on timing
DS: Solve official questions and work on timing
Problem: Not able to identify the weak areas (in a Verbal its a 1/2 probability of all types of questions) (In quant Probability, Number properties, Algebra, Geometry all seems to be weak but then i am able to score 46-49 consistently)

Hi mynamegoeson,
First off, a 630/Q47 is a strong score (it's just a bit shy of the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admission ... tants-124/
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so since you studied for just about 6-7 weeks, that might help to explain why you did not score higher. From what you have described, you took the GMAT at the end of February - and that was 5 months ago. Thus, while there is still some valuable information in this ESR, it might not be a great way to assess your current skills, strengths and weaknesses. As such, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How recently did you restart your studies?
2) What study materials did you use for your first attempt? What study materials have you used since then?
3) Have you taken any recent practice CATs (and how have you scored - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
