Need help to improve GMAT score

Question

I have given two attempts to GMAT and my score was 660, 640 respectively. While in mock series( Experts Global), I opted for it was consistently (730+) for all the 15 test.

I have taken e-GMAT course and also did the Manhattan Guidebooks and did all possible free mocks( MGMAT, Kaplan, Vertica etc. along with the 2 free offical pratice test)-least I got is 700.

I am really not sure- what is going wrong and How can I improve. Need help from the community- will be highly obliged.

What was the Q/V split on the actual exam Divyansh?

Also, is there a ESR you can share?

robo06 · Answer

It has been Q48 and V30 both the times. I haven't ordered ESR as off now.

Hi Divyansh1992,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. 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 possible 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 did you study before each of your Official GMATs?
2) What study materials did you use for each attempt?

Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Divyansh1992,

Based on your score breakdown, you clearly need to improve in verbal to hit your score goal. Would you like some general advice on how to improve your verbal skills? Also, have you taken any official GMAC practice exams? If so, how did you score on those?

I have studied for around 2 and 2.5 months before appearing for Official GMAT. I have referred to e-GMAT for verbal, Manhattan material (for verbal and Quant both) and used the mock test series of Experts Global. The score consistently has been 720 above in all mocks. Overall I have given 22 mock test (after doing my prep). My overall aim is 730+. I was planning to apply this year but seems like a lost case

I am really not sure, what can help me right now. I know all the concepts, nothing seems new to me now. I have dedicated full 2.5 months for the prep(even took a break from work).

Yes, I did took the official practice test. I scored 720 and 750 in Practice test 1 and 2.
