Hi

Hi,

I am done with my gmat but got a disastrous score of 560 (Q48/V20). Don't know really what went so bad in Verbal, in the last few questions there was an RC that I had to rush on with 3 questions and after that I could attempt some CR and SC questions left. Was doing fine in verbal apart from that as there was hardly any guessing involved. In quant, first question itself wasn't able to answer as time was running out but then it was fine, however had to guess on 3-4 questions and finished properly in the end.

I don't know now what to do as didn't anticipate that this would be so bad despite putting so much of efforts since more than 1 year. Getting 680-710 in mocks from gmat 1 to 6 (700,710,750 in last three mocks). Got 750 in last mock that was a retake of gmatprep 1. Dont know what to do know and why it happened.

The ESR data may provide some helpful insight.

Based on your mock data, the 560 may be a bit of an outlier. Thinking over what may have happened on Verbal, or what you did differently compared to the Mocks may be helpful. Perhaps you spent more time reading the RC passages.
