Highly dissapointed with my first attempt of 660(q 48 v32)
I had been preparing rigorously for gmat from the past 5-6 months. I had planned on giving the exam after I consistently scored above 700 as my target was atleast 720. I went through mgmat guidebooks on verbal section then went through og 2018, verbal review and then math review. Started with gmat prep 1 mock where i got 640 then i went through 6 veritas mocks , my score ranged from 650-680 and after retest 670-690. There after i also went through gmatprep 6 mock cats alongwith reviewing my error log and finishing bunuel series. My gmatprep mocks were as follows gmatprep1 repeat-720 gmatprep 2 :720 , gmatprep 3 :710 gmat prep 4 720 gmat prep 5 700 gmat prep6 710 gmat 2 repeat :770. Also i gave a mgmat mock where i got a 690. My actual gmat was a debacle i found the quant section quite different from the mocks, but managed to do okayish . After my quant section i was expecting a 8 minute break in online gmat but instead verbal section started immediately and i panicked as I wasn’t used to giving it without a break, i tried contacting proctor which again wasted 2-3 minutes . All in all i messed up atleast 8-9 starting questions and gave entire verbal under stress. I recieved a score of 660(q48 v32) . I used to get q49-q50 and v35-v41 in mocks.Now I don’t know wether i should retake the test immediately or should i change my study appraoch and again attempt after few months.

Hi Chirantan,
Sorry to hear about how things went with your GMAT. First of all, online GMAT has only one 8-minute break. The section order is also fixed. So, make sure you are aware of these things next time you give the test. And coming to the score, the stress might be one of the reasons for your low score on verbal.
I suggest you to take the test with a relaxed mind. Make sure you improve your test taking strategy. Do not spend more than 3 minutes on any question. If you wish to spend, then make sure to get it right. And make sure you follow the right methodologies to solve questions. I'm assuming that you followed a similar approach in all your mocks and there's no luck factor or anything.
So, take a break for a couple of days. If you feel confident that you are capable of getting a 700, then go for a retake. If you feel that you need to work on your methodology, then I suggest you to take some time and work on it. If you wish to know whether you are using the right methodologies to solve questions, then feel free to get in touch over a zoom conference call. We can solve a few questions together which will help me evaluate whether you are using the right methodologies or not. You can schedule a free consultation call using the below link.
