How were you scoring on the verbal section in GMATPrep? Was it in line with your actual scores?

Do you know which parts of verbal you're struggling with (idioms, SC, RC, CR, etc.)?

the problem with using gmatprep more than twice is that 1) it will repeat many of the same questions as you've already seen, 2) they don't give you explanations of why you got the problem wrong.

you should consider purchasing some other practice CAT tests. i used several of the manhattan gmat tests (MGMAT), which i found very helpful. you can get 6 free CAT tests if you purchase one of their subject books for about $20.

Honestly, If you can concentrate on Verbal and if you could pull a 30, you will end-up with a decent score.
So, I would recommend you to give one more shot at GMAT.
But this time do ur preparation completely different than you had already done.
Good luck.

That's very encouraging or indeed a very good thing that you are comfortable with V.
Then I guess all you need is to manage your nerves, I bet.
