I took my GMAT 1st attempt on Sep 10, 2021 and my second attempt on Oct 15, 2021. In the first attempt, i scored a mere 540 with a verbal score of V22 and in my second attempt, i scored a 590 with a verbal score of V27. My Quant score was Q44 for both exams. In all my GMAT and Manhattan practice tests, I have never scored below V35 and on an average my score has been around V37 to V38. I just don't understand what's happening. While giving my second attempt, I felt my verbal section was going really well. I managed my time well on the section and attempted all questions. Are GMAT and Manhattan practice test incorrect indicators of your verbal ability in the GMAT. What strategy can i use before I attempt to take GMAT for a third time. Verbal Experts please help

what were the study sources you used to prepare for the exam? giving mocks solely wont help you achieve target score ; one needs to understand reasoning why options are wrong as well especially for SC for your verbal mock scores did you happen to review the tests? if so what were the sections you did not do well in , try doing a deep dive into the topics which are your weakness

Did you get ESR. Can you share how you performed in individual sections? Is there any specific gap that you need to concentrate on to improve your official score?
I have seen that some of my friends securing much lower scores in the real test than official mocks, so it cannot be said that official CATs are improper indicators of your verbal ability. The CATs of the Manhattan Prep are good, but you should have attempted some official mocks before the real test.
I only used GMAT official questions and manhattan prep questions.

I have not ordered the ESR report for my second test. However, ESR report for my first attempt showed that Critical Reasoning and RC as significant weak points

A few suggestions in the lead up to your exam would be to stick closer to Official Material and work on solving approach. All things being equal, it's probably fair to say a consistent V38 scoring level means your fundamentals are not that bad on the Verbal section.
