Hi all,
Took the GMAT for the first time today and got a 660 (Q44, V37, IR 8). Pretty disappointed - especially as my Quant scores were typically 50/51. My takeaway from this is that doing practice Questions / exams at home just do not compare to the real thing - I normally dont struggle for time in the Quant, however today had 10 mins to do the last 15 or so questions.
I've realised that I'm probably relying too heavily on a strong quant to bring up the poor Verbal score. I plan to hit the books again, really focus on my weak points (Sentence Correction) and drill the Quant so that my timings aren't off. Is 60 points in 1-2 months too aggressive? Would need this to make the R2 cut-offs.

Hi arahim,
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, 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) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what specific application deadlines are you facing?
If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. 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). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Consider getting the ESR. If you share it here (after wiping any personal info), people may provide some specific suggestions as well. Using question/time markers may help with time management.
How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?
