Hi all,
I scored 610 (Q49 V24) 12th Aug and was devastated. In my previous attempt, I scored 700 (Q50 V35) in April 2021.
To improve my score, I took E-Gmat verbal course and have given Manhattan mocks-6, Kaplan mocks-2 and GMAT Prep mocks-3 (including 1 retake).
MY scores of mocks are as follow:
1. GMAT prep mock- 18/07/2021- 710 (Q49 V38)
2. GMAT prep mock- 21/07/2021- 730 (Q50 V38)
3. Veritas mock - 25/07/2021- 710- (Q50 V36)
4. GMAT club quant- Q49 & Manhattan V37 on 04/08/2021
5. GMAT club Quant 44 & Manhattan V 37 on 06/08/2021
6. GMAT PREP Retake on 07/08/2021- 770 (Q50 V44)
7. GMAT club quant- Q51 & Manhattan- V 38 on 08/08/2021
8. Manhattan only verbal- V37 on 09/08/2021
9. Gmat club quant- Q 50 & Manhttan V36 on 10/08/2021
[b]10. GMAT official exam on 12/08/2021- 610 (Q49 & V24)
After the score, I was disappointed and devastated. I considered that my mock scores are in the range of V35+ and decided to take the test on 12/08/2021. I accept that I shouldn't consider my GMAT prep retake exam score. But barring that I got V35+ in all mocks. Also, my verbal score on the first attempt is V35.
I am clueless about what could have happened and discouraged and confused. Kindly advise me what needs to be done to improve.
Also, I am contemplating giving GMAT exam after 15 days. Please let me know if that is a good idea.
If anyone has ever gone through this situation kindly let me know so that I can benefit from your valuable advice.

Hi TiNoddy,
First off, your prior 700/Q50 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, another retest is probably not necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
It's possible that you just had a bit of a 'bad day' on this Official attempt, but when these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied in total? Over the last 3 months, how many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
If you took this recent attempt at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
