Hello,
I'm taking my GMAT for the fourth and last time in the next two weeks regardless of score. I ordered the additional GMAT prep with 2 practice exams. I took a test today and scored a very disappointing 610. In particular, i'm trying to improve upon my verbal scores as I've read that it plays a bigger factor in overall scores than quant scores.
The breakdown of my scores are: Q: 41 (54th percentile); V: 34 (69th percentile)
I missed the following:
Quant - 13 questions: 1, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 26, 27, 29, 33-36
Verbal - 11 questions: 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 13, 24, 25, 27, 31, 40
My first question in quant was a probability question and I missed it due to a very careless mistake. I realize and accept that I need to improve on my quant.
I'm kindly requesting some perspective as to how the scoring works. I thought my verbal scores would for sure be higher. Are these very low scores due to the fact that I missed some of the first 10 questions.
I'm just really frustrated with how I'm doing in my prep session. Any last minute advice/guidance is much appreciated. I've spent a whole year fretting over the gmat and I keep getting abysmal scores - 590 to 630.
Please please please assist.
Thanks

One thing to keep in mind is that the accuracy rate (number of questions correct) matters much more on verbal than on quant. What I mean is that it is possible to get 4-5 questions wrong in Quant and yet score a 50 (as long as you have got a lot of the high difficulty questions correct) whereas if you get 5 questions wrong in verbal, no matter the difficulty level of the remaining questions that you got correct, you will not get more than a 44-45.
