I just finished my second GMAT today, and here are the results
GMAT 1 : 570 (Quant 42, Verbal 27 (SC 25%), IR 5)
GMAT 2: 640 (Quant 41, Verbal 36, IR 3)
I was aiming for 600+ score in my second attempt and focused more on sentence correction. I did not see the ESR, but my guess it worked out as planned with improvement in sentence correction but disappointed with IR and math score. There were few easy problems in math, and may be lack of practice i missed that. After the exam, it immediately clicked how to solve those couple of problems.
I have several years of experience in the IT industry and looking into enroll into part time MBA in either Chicago Booth or Depaul. I am considering to give one more attempt in the next month as admission deadlines are not due until October.
Study materials used : CR bible, Manhattan guides & Empower GMAT. Honestly, I feel bad not using empower gmat to maximum extend.
Any suggestions on pushing little bit more my quant in the next 1 month. I understand IR practice needs to be added to push that to a decent level
Thanks.

Hi mattp1,
Since this is your first post on GMATClub, I can't recall if we've ever discussed your prior studies or overall goals. You clearly hit your Goal of 600+ and you made a really nice leap forward in the Verbal section; with some adjustments to how you handle the Quant section, you could almost certainly make a bit improvement in that section as well.
Before I can offer you any advice for this next phase of your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying:
1) When did you take your 1st Official GMAT and how long did you study before each of your 2 Official GMATs?
2) How long did you use the EMPOWERgmat Course and which Study Plan did you follow?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) What is your overall Score goal?
You might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report for this 2nd attempt. 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.

A quant score in the low 40s means you probably need to learn maths rather than (merely) practise applying that maths. Build a strong base. Though, you did smash your desired score, so your efforts may be better applied elsewhere on the application/life.
Well done!
