Just took the exam! Advise Needed

Hi Janielle and Rich,

I have been study for 3 months.
As Rich has pointed out, I have take multiple CATs (over 10 CATs)
I believe this was the only reason I can finish the exam on time.

However, when I was taking the CAT, I only took the IR part for GMAT-Prep exams and skipped all the AWA.
But I don't think this really matter since I took the AWA on the final section of my real exam.

I have posted my recent CAT results, I was constantly hitting V30 (on both Veritas and GMATPrep).
It was a shocker to see V20 on my real exam.
I cancelled the score without hesitation.

All I want is my Verbal score to between 30 and 35.
The exam result is quite disheartening for me. :(

Any suggestions whether I should retake ASAP or wait for a few weeks?

PS
The night before the exam I was really.... really... nervous and couldn't sleep that well.
I know right away in the morning that I'm not in my best shape on that day.
There was too many unknown for me, including test centers, testing procedures, etc.
However, I found the testing environment much more relaxing than I have thought.

I believe that my low score was because of my exhaustion and anxiety.
In another hand, I don't think those factors could contribute to my lower than average score T____T

Thank you

If the questions on your GMATPrep were "fresh", then the score estimate is almost certainly correct. And yes, exhaustion and anxiety can have a big impact on your score.

Hi Sobhark,

You can raise your quant score easily . Please use GMAT Club tests. These are the best in the industry.
No One can beat GMAT Club quant test. I raised my score to Q50 using these tests only.
Let me know if you need any material for verbal.

Thanks for your reply
I'm sure that
GMAT PREP P2 #6 / 49 / 30 / 660 (Latest, 3 days before exam) is fresh.

I did one in EP1 and scored 680, what I noticed 2-3 questions I already did.
But later I have become much more be careful to ensure that I don't do any question in EP2.

I'm looking for option whether I should retake ASAP or get back to the drawing board on Verbal.

Thank you

Hi Sobhark,
Can you share which materials are you following so that further study material can be suggested to you .
For ex:
SC: Manhattan SC guide and E-gmat sc topics
CR: Power score CR boble
RC : GMAT club RCs and Aristole RC99

Hi mbaaspirant80

Thanks for your reply.

I did quite a lot of Gmatclub tests already.
My score varies a lot.
I have attached the score below.
But I admit that I didn't pay much attention in reviewing those CATs.
Since I scored around Q47-49 on GMATPrep mocks, I think I there way many more points that I can pick up from Verbal section.

SC : eGmat SC + Manatthan SC book as reference (I try to do SC in the past few days and I have believed I have most of the concepts, but I still don't understand what happened on the exam day)
CR : Manhattan CR (I have only glance the book before my real exam since I scored pretty ok in the CR section, but I'm planning to study it now)
RC : I read a few passages and did some question on gmatclub.com everyday (have really hard time understanding History, Humanities and Political passages)
