Helo guys, I've just taken the exam so i wait for the official score!
The score at the end of the exam was 430(very low i know), but the partials scores was 42Q and 11V;
Is it possible this score whit this partials scores or my memory is making a mistake with the percentils number?

Is 42 so bad?
Thanks

The problem is not so much your Quant score as your Verbal score.

With Q42 and V25, you get around 560.

Dear templeballs,
I see the great Karishma has already responded here, but I will add my own two cents. :-)

Here are some resource to help you with your verbal score.
A free GMAT idiom ebook:

This blog gives overall strategy for GMAT CR, with links to posts about strategies for individual questions:

This blog gives an overview of GMAT grammar, with links to individual grammar topics:

I would say the most important thing you can do for your GMAT Verbal Score is: READ. Read everyday, at least an hour a day, over and above any GMAT preparations. Read hard challenging material in English. Here are some recommendations about what to read to prepare yourself for the GMAT:

Here's a thorough one-month study schedule you may find helpful.
