As the pandemic hit, I thought it was the perfect time to start preparing for my GMAT exam as I will be home and will be able to prepare for the exam effectively. I prepared for my GMAT exam from a certain online platform and gave regular mocks. Even though after extensive preparation from the website and scoring 700+ in mocks tests, I ended up scoring a 610 in my first attempt in GMAT exam. I was devastated after looking at the score but released do not have time to let that affect me as I have my deadlines coming up soon.
So now I am looking to prepare for new material to prepare again for the exam.
Looking for recommendations, especially verbal.

Hey Apoorvi - Since you have already appeared for the exam, don't indulge in any new materials
Just go through your notes / error log and do some timed practice
But if you were to ask me the materials i used and found useful, refer to the below
SC: e-gmat was useful and i have supplemented it with Manhattan SC book
CR: Powerscore Bible
RC: Aristotle RC
But if you haven't used one or more of these materials in your initial prep just disregard
Get your ESR and analyse your weak areas and do focussed practice

Apoorvi - Welcome to GMAT Club!
I recommend that you purchase the ESR of your first GMAT attempt, to further understand what went wrong in the test. More importantly, please see the GMAT score as a combination of two sectional scores Q? and V? rather than view it as a total score of 610. What were your sectional raw scores?

Hi Apoorvi,
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) On what date did you take your Official GMAT and what were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
2) How long have you studied in total? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far? What "brands" of CATs/mocks have you used?
4) 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:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what specific application deadlines are you facing?
If you took your 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.
