ESR Evaluation urgently required - 640 Q50 & V27 [#permalink] New post   23 Oct 2022, 00:55
Hi everyone!
I Appeared for GMAT for 1st time today got a score of 640 (Q50 V27).
I am shocked with my verbal score. This exam was confidence shaking.

Last 4 Mocks-
Gmat Prep 1 - 18/10 - 730 - Q50 & V38
Gmat Prep 2 - 19/10 - 690 - Q50 & V33
Gmat Prep 3 - 20/10 - 710 - Q50 & V35
Gmat Prep 4 - 21/10 - 710 - Q50 & V36

I was initially targeting for a score 730+.
Usually i am very good with RC & CR (getting 1-2 Q wrong in each sub section) & SC has been my week area (getting 5-6 Q wring in each mocks)
In Gmat Prep my first first Q has been CR & RC only whereas in main paper it was SC & CR.

I have taken e-gmat & Gmatclub quiz to prepare for gmat. Even in Gmat Club Quick i have never score so low on Verbal.

Someone please guide me with the following:
1. Why my score plummeted? What could I be doing wrong?
2. What should I do now to improve my score?
3. how to improve from V27 to V40+ in 5-6 weeks, considering the R2 deadlines?

Can someone please help me. I am so confused right now !!!

how to improve from V27 to V40+ in 5-6 weeks

Here's someone who went from a v31 to a v40 in about 4 weeks. May be some helpful insight.

If you have trouble on Sentence Correction, here's an Excel idiom list that may help boost that section up a bit.

All the best.

Hi Ayush,

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 - along with the data in your ESR - it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) Have you used any other “brands” of CATs/mocks besides the Official ones?
3) If you took any other CATs/mocks, then on what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of those CATs and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what specific application deadlines are you facing?

Hi Ayushbaheti.

Probably, the reason your verbal score plummeted is that some of the materials you used to prepare either included some of the verbal questions that appear on the official practice tests or included questions that are copies of verbal questions on the official practice tests. Either way, when you took the official practice tests, you had already seen either the questions or the patterns of the questions ahead of time, and therefore your practice test scores were inflated. Then, when you took the actual GMAT, you hadn't seen the verbal questions before, and your score was lower.

So, your move is to keep working on verbal and do your best to use practice questions that are not from the official practice tests or based on the questions in the official practice tests.

For an in-depth discussion of how to prepare for GMAT verbal effectively, see these posts.

2) Have you used any other “brands” of CATs/mocks besides the Official ones? have used e-gmat sigma mock
3) If you took any other CATs/mocks, then on what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of those CATs and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)? Have taken mokes for 2 month & score ranging for Q is 50-51 & V 31-35.
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what specific application deadlines are you facing? ISB (India) now aiming for R3 (january end)

Hi Ayushbaheti,

I’m sorry that you could not score up to your potential in this attempt. We will surely help you evaluate the ESR, identify the reason for the score drop and help you with an improvement plan.

Since you are an e-GMAT student, we would have a lot of data points about your preparation (strengths, weaknesses and gaps in the prep). So, it’s better to analyze this ESR along with your SIGma-X mock ESRs, Scholaranium data etc. This will give us a complete picture.

Please drop an e-mail to support@e-gmat.com (from your e-GMAT account ID) so that your dedicated mentor can start with the analysis.

We look forward to your mail.

By the way, here is an example of a student that can help you ( score dropped from official mocks and then went on to score a 750)

From GMAT 640 to 730 to 750 in less than 2 months
