I gave the GMAT yesterday and scored an abysmal 610 V28 Q47.
I took verbal online from e-gmat and was preparing for 3-4 months. Last time I tried to study for GMAT was last August but didn't give the paper because my mock scores weren't good. This time my mock scores were 600,710,710,610 in that order. I'm not surprised to see my score except for Quant, which I felt was a lil tougher than expected. I did analyse my mocks but I couldn't figure out ways to improve. I think SC was the only saving grace. I'll order an ESR and check.
Now I still have time till Dec. I want to apply to ISB EEO ( I know with this score it's impossible to get in). I'm also thinking of MiM courses from good schools in Europe. HEC, LBS, LSE, MANEHIM BUSINES SCHOOL, etc. I want to apply for next year and I'm really confused now.
Will it be better if I shift to GRE instead of GMAT since all the schools accept GRE. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a 320-325 which is equivalent to my target score in GMAT i.e. 700. Or are there decent Schools for MiM programs which don't take either of the 2.
Experts please share some thoughts.
Thanks.

Hi yashmehta.
I’m sorry to hear how things went with the GMAT. Honestly, I'm not sure that you should you jump ship from the GMAT and move to the GRE. Since your applications are not due until December, you may consider pushing forward with the GMAT, improving your verbal skills and retaking the GMAT.
Also, you could try taking an official GRE mock test to see whether GRE verbal comes more naturally to you than GMAT verbal has.
In any case, it's likely that the reason you didn't hit your GMAT verbal score goal is that what you did to prepare for the verbal section was somehow not effective. So, if you adjust your conception of and the way you train for GMAT verbal, you should experience better results.
With all this said, would you like some general advice on how to improve your GMAT verbal skills?

I agree jumping ship won't guarantee results. But I've tried all that was possible especially for verbal and while attempting questions, I don't face much issues. But during the exam, it just doesn't happen. And now I seem to have given up on it.
