Hi everyone,
i started studying for the gmat around January of this year. I just took my first official GMAT in September and scored a 530 (Q42 and V22). I took my first GMATprep exam from the Gmatprep software and i got a 530 as well, Q46 and V18. I have taken several Manhattan GMAT CATs and my quant score ranges from 39-46, and my Verbal score ranges from 24-36. I don't know why i get really low scores on GMAC verbal compare to Manhattan Gmat verbal. I did skip one passage during both my official gmat and my gmatprep exam, because I felt i was running out of time and i just couldn't concentrate on reading that passage. I also guessed on the last five questions in my Quant section, because i was out of time and i panicked. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can give me some advice on how to improve my gmat score. I am planning to take another official exam in two months. I am targeting a minimum score of 650
Materials im currently using
1) Manhattan GMAT full set
2) Magoosh one year subscription
3) OG 2015, 2016

Hi Letsdothis12,
Since you have been studying since January and have not been able to achieve your GMAT score goal, something must be happening with your prep that is not allowing you to master the GMAT knowledge you need to achieve a 650 score. To provide the best possible advice, I would like to know more about your GMAT experience and MBA goals. I have a few questions:
1) Describe your study routine. Have you been studying straight since January or have you taken some breaks? For how many hours a day have you been studying?
Also, when you have been studying, do you feel as if you have been able to achieve linear and targeted learning followed by focused practice? In other words, have you been able to master one topic before you moved to the next?
2) Can you provide us with the dates and score breakdowns of your official MBA.com practice tests? When you took the practice tests, did you take them under realistic conditions (e.g. in a quiet environment, no extended breaks)?
3) To what schools do you plan to apply?
4) What deadlines are you targeting?
5) For how many hours a day can you study for your retake?
