Gave my Gmat yesterday and got 660 Q51 but V only 27 :wall ......Screwed my exam because i could not focus in the end as i was totally exhausted and just wanted to finish the exam and go home....
Giving GMAT again after one month. My timeline:
I am going on a vacation on 2nd week (for one week ) and after that taking leaves for 2 weeks and only build up my stamina by taking full length 4 hours 6 MGMAT tests, keep on revising the stuff and prepare myself for Gmat that I am planning to give 4 weeks from now.
Please suggest me is my time table ok??
Should i cancel my vacation that i had already planned ??
Should i give more time to prepare for Gmat
Is this the correct way to improve else how to increase my stamina and how to increase concentration during the last 1 hour that is the most crucial in GMAT, in total how to improve my verbal side?

......Screwed my exam because i could not focus in the end as i was totally exhausted and just wanted to finish the exam and go home....I think it's OK to take vacation- since you already are familiar with the exam and only need to focus on verbal.
As for improving your concentration - practice this skill during your studying - then go full force during the last hour of the exam.
Get in the psychological mode---do jumping jacks..draw things out on paper, talk to yourself outloud - ask yourself: "what in the world is this author saying? As you read each paragraph, say to yourself "OK, so what's your point?"---go in with a critical attitude of the author. Always mentally challenge what the author is saying with "so what?? what's your point?" Have an "in-your-face" sort of attitude.
Each person has his own way of focusing and not zoning out, above are just a few ideas.

I totally agree with Zeke,
My Key thing on Verbal was trying to CARE about what I was reading about.
I found early on that i was doing much better when the RC or CR was on something vaguely interesting (for example I like history, so something on archaeology was interesting), because I read deeply, and used my experience to evaluate as I read the answers we're 'obvious'
As soon as I noticed this, I really forced myself to be interested in whatever I was reading. Something dull about American Economics? I cared about nothing more than that for the 5 minutes it took.
If you can do this - this will massively help you concentrate, stay awake and score well.
Good luck!
