Hi AlexSgmat,
From your posts in this thread, it sounds as though you are unhappy with this result - and I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you're looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? 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) What is your overall goal score?
5) 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). I'll be happy to analyze your ESR for you, but I would need to see the FULL ESR. If you would rather not post it publicly, then you can feel free to PM or email it to me.

Contact Rich at: Rich.C@empowergmat.comThanks a lot EMPOWERgmatRichC for sharing feedback.
I will E-mail you my complete ESR. It would be of great help if you could analyse my ESR and share your feedback.
Regarding your queries:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
Ans: I have been studying since past 6 months. I have a 10hr job and a commute time of 1hr. So I get on average 2-3 hrs of study time during weekdays. However, I keep my weekends for GMAT preparation and give my mocks on weekends.
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
Ans: I have used official gmat guide and
Manhattan books for verbal.
For Mocks I have completed Official GMAT mocks and Princeton Review mocks. I found Manhattan/ Kaplan mocks quite difficult.
I started with a score of 640/650. By the time I reached Official Gmat mock 6, I was scoring 730/740. But in my GMAT exam I just scored a 640.
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)?
Ans: I gave my GMAT exam on 18th July’22. I scored 640 (Q47/V30/IR7).
4) What is your overall goal score?
Ans: My goal score is 730-740.
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
I am planning for next year Fall admissions. Since I don’t have a good GMAT score, I need to retake exam. So I think might be able to apply from second rounds.
Thanks a lot.
