I have attached my ESR where I scored a 590. My verbal score is V25. I was consistently scoring v34 v35 in mock exams of official gmat prep, manhattan prep and experts global. Can anyone please help me with the ESR analysis and point out where did I go wrong.

On Verbal, your average time went from 2:15 in the 3rd quarter to 1:31 in the 4th. Working on time management may be a bit helpful. At a V25 level, probably fair to say a person has some fundamentals that are still a bit slippery. If you think this was an outlier, and you are actually at a mid V30 level (that your mocks reflect), consider working on your solving approach as well. May boost your score a bit. Had a 6-hour student go from a V31 to a 40 in about 30 days. Perhaps work with a study buddy with strong verbal skills.

Thank you for the timely response .Yes time management in verbal has been a problem for me. Should i also take more mocks to improve my time management?

MartyTargetTestPrep I started my prep last november. I finished the magoosh course but i found that the questions for verbal were not on the same level as the official questions. I finished the OG 2022 twice,solved over 500-600 official verbal questions on gmatclub gave manhattan mocks all 6, experts global mocks and gmatprep mocks. I also watched a ton of videos on youtube mainly of GMATNinja. I was averaging about v33 v34 v35 in all my mocks. I even got a v40 on one of manhattan's mocks. I am thinking of giving the gmat online from home as i think test anxiety was the cause for my low verbal score. Any thoughts on that?

Do you know your accuracy percentages on those verbal practice questions, easy, medium, hard, or overall?

Those accuracies are about in line with a mid 30s verbal score. Thus, it makes sense that you may have scored lower than usual because of anxiety.

So, a reasonable plan would be to do some more untimed and timed practice to achieve accuracy a bit higher and then take the GMAT again at home if you think you'll be more comfortable there.
