Dear members,
I failed GMAT again. My history of GMAT-taking (I am non-native):
1) Real GMAT, 8 January 2018: 570 (Q35, V32)
====(break)=====
2) GMATClub tests (June-July 2018 ranged between Q47-Q49)
3) Manhattan GMAT 690 (Q47, V37)
4) 5 GMATPreps: GMAT 640-680 (Q47-49, V31-35)
5) Real GMAT, 31 July 2018: 470 (Q39, V16)
I will take another shot in one month. Will be happy to hear advice and feedback.
P.S. I was very surprised when I saw Q39 score. All that I saw was very easy questions, and I can tell with certainty, that mostly I answered right. I had mixtures, advanced geometry, combinations, overlapping sets questions. And I am still sure that I answered them correctly, without any doubt. I guessed only on 3-4 questions, some of which did not make any sense and some of which involved American-style division (I only know how to divide numbers Russian-style).

Hi Terabyte,
I'm sorry you didn't hit your target score, this is never a fun experience, especially after having put so much effort into it.
On the bright side - and in your case this is a very big bright side - your current GMAT score is far lower than any of your CATs (and also your previous GMAT). This is highly suspicious and to help you debug, I would appreciate the answer to a few questions:
1. Could it be that you just had a very bad day? For example, did you cram too much into the last week and arrive tired/out of focus to the exam? Did you maybe sleep poorly the day before or were you maybe super stressed for other reasons?
2. Is it possible that you made a string of errors at the start that you had difficulty recovering from? (This could explain why all the questions you received were 'easy')
Furthermore, I suggest you purchase the ESR. Especially now that GMAC has updated the format, the ESR can provide useful information such as your success rates in different parts of the test. Once you purchase the ESR, send it over to us here and we'll help walk you through its interpretation as well as suggesting next steps for you to take.
Best of luck!

Hi Terabyte,
I’m sorry to hear about how things went with your GMAT. However, before providing specific advice, I’d like to learn some more about your situation with the GMAT.
1) Please list the dates on which you’ve taken any practice GMATs, the total scores, and the quant, verbal, and IR scores, as well as how you were feeling while taking the tests. Also, please tell me where these tests came from (ex: mba.com).
2) Please describe how you studied. How many hours a day did you study and for how many months? What resources did you use?
3) To what programs will you be applying? What are the deadlines for these programs?
4) By when would you LIKE to take the GMAT? By when MUST you take the GMAT?
5) How many hours a day, on average, can you study between now and your next GMAT?
6) In your opinion, how prepared were you for the GMAT? It's important that you answer this question as objectively as possible.
7) Is there anything else that I should know? Anything else you’d like to tell me?
Once I learn some more about you, I can provide some more detailed advice.
