GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hello guys,
Just came from the test center. From a 560 (V26 Q40) I drop to a 510 (V19!!!!!!! Q43)
I take the thing not so badly, i am telling my self "there has been an accident with the Verbal" but still... All i ask is for a 620 score.
The debrief:
Took my last GMAT end of January 560 a 110 pt increase compared to my first time (450 with really no preparation at all). I moved to Shanghai for my internship. (I was thus working the entire day)
February: no prep, Shanghai nightlife discovery, IELTS registration
March: IELTS taken 7.5, misht be stupid but was unable to start my prep before I got my result. End of the month GMAT registration
Mid-April: I started my prep no earlier as I thought: "A 50 pt increase should be OK in one month" it took me 15 days (1h/day to recover my GMAT former abilities)
May: I started seriously to study, OG 12 ed, All the PS all the SC, OG Verbal I did all the SC and CR, and could see i was clearly improving, mostly in CR. I did a couple of CAT's (Manhattan) the problem is that it always start with the Quant section and after work quite hard to take a full lenght test
4 days ago GMAT prep; 600 (Q47 V25), was really surpised by the score, tough happy because it reflected the score I needed. Why such a high score in quant? I think Manhattan CAT's are tougher in Quant, why still such a low score in Verbal?
2 days before the test; Manhattan CAT, just verbal V32
TEST DATE:
AWA, no clue, but I don't really pay attention to this part
The test center is located at 4 min from my flat by scooter, quite nice! I arrived too early, slept well.
QUANT; started badly, a tough first question that I did answer wrong made me panic a little bit... then very easy and straight forward, I was even thinking "too easy you screw up", I spared 3 min at the end.
VERBAL; I would say normal, jut by the end i paniced as I was waiting the last RC, who came at around question 35... I had to rsh at the end.
I think things are clear, I need to focus on verbal and verbal only. Quant improve by itself by doing CAT and correcting the mistakes. Also I saw all the chinese guy with no decent english of english scoring about 600-700. "Chinese people are good at taking exam", something is missing in my prep, I need to stabilize my Verbal, any suggestion?
SC should be the easiest part of verbal but it's not the case for me, sometimes i just can't identify the patterns... Also I need to enroll to a course with 50 min point increased guaranteed based on my 560, any ideas? I don't believe it's about studying 3-4 month that's gonna help me I believe it is the way of studying...
All advices, recomendations, blames, suggestions are welcome...

you seem to lack of the basic concepts. Go through the MGMAT SC a few times and just try to memorize really all concepts. Make notes and small summaries. Also start reading the economist (actively)...
