Hi,
I took the GMAT last month for the second time and I got a score of 700!
The first try I studied for a month out of the princeton review cracking the GMAT and the OG12 and recieved a 640.
(V 36 - Q 42). Since my percentile was much lower on the quant section than the verbal, for my second try I would focus mainly on the quant section.
I did the kaplan GMAT premier book and only the OG11 quant section with several exam simulations each week for two months.
I also started reading a fiction novel the last week to improve my verbal but did not do any specific verbal exercises.
In the Kaplan tests I could not get past 600 so my target score was 680.
So to my surprise I got a 700 total score (V 41 - Q 44)
I honestly do not know how this happened and why my verbal score was so high. I believe there is also some luck on the questions you get and how calm and focused you arrive on test day.
I hope this helps someone with their future tests.
Regards,
