Hi everyone,
On the front end I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read my post and offer any advice.
A little bit about me-
21 year old senior at small private catholic college
3.87 GPA in Accounting
Fraternity Rush Chair and Treasurer
President of the Accounting
Member of national honor society (means I'm top 5% of my class)
Have an accounting internship at local firm
Already secured position at national accounting firm
owner of a small book keeping business
speak 4 languages
Looking to get into Master of accounting programs at UT-Austin, Ross Michigan, Notre Dame
Into my story we go, I took the GMAT first on June 30, 2015 I hadn't done any studying and only decided to take the test two weeks before. I wanted to take it before school got started and I was going to spend the month of July and first half of August traveling Europe. I didn't know what to expect but after the test I came out with a 560 (35 Q 33V). Even though I hadn't studied I was upset because I had looked to see what topics the GMAT covered and felt like i knew what was going on little did i know. After getting back from my trip and spending a lot of time reading I decided it was time to conquer the GMAT end up somewhere closer to 700 if not at it. I took the Veritas Prep live online course and studied for 2 weeks afterwards. This past weekend I took the test and made a 610 (Q42 V31). I was happy but devastated by my verbal. I did run into he problem of just really struggling on verbal I just ran out of gas and there was someone next to me taking some real estate license test and needless to guess by the expletives this lady was yelling she failed. I struggled to focus at all on the RC. I did much much worse on RC than i had been doing on any practice tests and was shocked because i read the WSJ everyday and constantly read books. Now I am taking 20 days to detox from the GMAT and developing a plan to come back and attack it smart and effectively to make it to 700. Anything you could provide to help me on my journey would be AMAZING!!

From reading your description it sounds like you are relying a lot on the fact that you are an avid reader to help get you through verbal. While this certainly helps, it sounds like you may need to brush up on actual GMAT verbal strategy. If you are not opposed to getting new books, I would highly suggest the Manhattan strategy guides for the various verbal sections. I would spend some time reading about the various question types that you are asked on the verbal section. When I took the exam I would read the question and make note of what type of question it was and then attempt to answer it. Particularly in RC questions the answer choices will contain wording directly from the paragraph in an attempt to try and trick you. Additionally, especially when it pertains to questions about the "main point" the wordier answer choices tended to be more off-base, but looked tempting because they were detailed.
Hope this helps. These are just a few things to keep in mind when you take it. I had a pretty large jump in verbal in only a month, and I attribute that largely to focusing my attention on how the GMAT thinks and what types of questions it typically asks.

Hi aokolicany,
I'd like to know a bit more about your studies so far and your overall timeline:
1) How long did you study for this recent GMAT attempt?
2) Since your recent CAT scores were all in the 500s, and your score goal was/is 700+, then why didn't you push back your Test Date so that you could continue to study and improve?
3) Have you scheduled your next GMAT yet?
4) Are you facing any deadlines for taking the GMAT?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
