Phew.... From where should I start???
Ok, let me start by intoducing myself first
Hello guys!!!! I am Snahil . U can just call me "S"
. I am 21 years old and I just completed my somphomore year. Yay!!! 
I remember it was last week of 2020. I was in my first year then . I was going through the websites of few top B-schools in the world and i came across the word 'Gmat'.I wondered what was it. After some online research, I figured out that it was a standardised test that is required as prerequisite for addmissions to the business school. I decided to give it a try. And hence my journey started.
3 months in and I wanted to try out the offical question but i did not have funds to purchase the verbal and quant official resources(Also, i didn't want to put any burden on my parents regarding my academics....Already they were paying for my university
). So i started searching and seraching..... After few days of search, I came aross an "legal" (I hope 
) online library from which I managed to borrow few books. Anyway, So until then my preperation was neither intense nor regular. I had many university tests and semester exams , which forced me to take few days break from the preperation. I took few unofficial tests but the scores that i scored were pretty embarassing.
I started to seriously prepare from January, 2022. I was facing issues with verbal mainly ,but as it is said practice makes you perfect, everyday practice coupled with regular quizzes helped me increase my verbal points.
Enough practice.... !!! I wanted to gauge my performance... and there no better way than to sit for the ULTIMATE GMAT !!!!!!
So , I booked for the 9 AM, 28th June. It was my first time . I was having butterflies in my stomach. I didn't know what to expect and how things would be , and then it started. The proctor connected on time and she was brilliant. She just made everything seem so simple. I started with verbal first. I started to solve. Questions looked easy in the beggining, and this boosted my confidence. But then came the third passage(q.17 or something) that just decimated me . My nervousness started to grow. I understood that my verbal score took a heavy hit . Maths was okaish ... I would say .
At around 12:10 , I completed my exam . And the score flashed on the screen . It was 660 (V34,Q47). I had mixed emotions to it. I was aiming at 700+. Anyway, I was excited beacuse i just gave my first ever Gmat. It was an awesome experience. I hope to try again for 700+ but for now this is it.
I want to thank club members who work day and night posting questions, posting explanations and helping people with their doubt.
You guys are the besttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, can i get into any college with such a score???? I am looking forward to getting admitted to master's program(2024).

Hi Snahil.
Congrats on your work so far. A 660 GMAT score is high enough for many good schools.
A the same time, if you want to score higher, I'm sure you can by preparing some more and doing the following things.
For quant, you need to work on your weaker areas one at a time and improve overall accuracy.
To strengthen a weaker quant area, you would first study the relevant concepts and strategies and then practice by answering dozens of practice questions involving that one topic until you get them correct consistently. Also, it works best to start off practicing a topic untimed and focus on accuracy and understanding before you seek to answer questions at test pace.
Regarding working on overall accuracy, you could see this post for a discussion of how to achieve higher accuracy. Improving Your Accuracy on the GMAT
Regarding verbal, you could read the following post to learn how to prepare to ace the verbal section of the GMAT. How to Score High on GMAT Verbal
