I'd offer you some honest advice. Take a different path with your study plan this time. Firstly sit down and improve your basic english. Take classes, speak to people or get help online. I can tell you people who take online english classes for a reasonable fee. Then you go on and improve your understanding about english a little more and get the basics of how the GMAT verbal works. Only after that should you start preparing for the GMAT. Take your time in this preparation and then take the GMAT again. I am sure you will cross 600 at least with this plan.

zerotoinfinite: It's all a matter of whether you have the time to invest in preparation. If you're willing and able to put in the hours to improve, you can get a much better score for sure.

Building a strong English foundation is very important though and that's definitely where you should begin.

zerotoinfinite: One thing I've learnt reading a lot of debriefs is that GMAT is learnable (some will disagree). I don't have any doubt that one could improve their score by working hard on the GMAT content. I haven't taken GMAT myself but reading debriefs I've learnt that GMAT has only a certain number of concepts that they test on GMAT which can be tricky given that you've to finish it in 75 minutes (each section). They can combine 1 or more concepts in one problem or word the statement(s) to trick you. Learning English would require reading and practice practice practice !!! It might be hard for some people but it's definitely possible.
