HI all the experts at gmatclub,
Need Help!
I have been a silent spectator here for slightly less than an year now, and really grateful to this site.About myself i am into IT with 5+ yrs of exp on Business Intelligence platform. I have good academics overall(although less co-curricular s).
I have appeared for GMAT twice now.Out of these attempts the first one was cancelled , i screwed up in verbal section majorly, in this attempt, i was coached by 2 instructors and focused more on notes/OG/Manhattan material.
In my second attempt last week , i scored a 640 overall(Q47,V31). Wasted time on 2 experimental questions in quants and so could not finish the last question. In verbal though i marked and was confident of SC and CR ( not sure of RC as i got 4 long passages.) I ordered ESR and got to know that RC saved my boat, and my accuracy in CR was unexpectedly bad. Now, i have 2 issues:-
1)Everyone i am meeting these days for an expert comment suggests for a retake, which i think is correct since i belong to the most common profile (Indian+IT though female
). But the problem is that most of the questions i am coming across are already seen or done(good memory is not always good 
). Also i tend to remember the answers.
Please note that i was doing extremely well in my tests
Veritas test1: 720
Veritas test2:750
Veritas test3:700
Veritas test4:710
Veritas test5:700
Gmatprep test1/2: 720
Although i would say gmat prep score was inflated coz i had seen few questions before(Again memory
).
I will not say that i am not disheartened since i had put in a lot of effort and also prepared for a longer duration than the last time (6 whole months as compared to aprrox 4 months in my first).I do not know what went wrong , but i remember very well that i could reach to a 2 option confusion in most SC questions.Could you please suggest me any score improvement technique? I want to reattempt the exam within a month, so that i can apply for few R1 applications this year.
2) Could you please suggest few colleges where i can apply with this score? The ones where i might get a chance , i really don't want to delay MBA anymore???
Also, i am targeting bschools in Canada/India/Europe.Any help will be highly appreciated.

Congrats 640 is a good score. Focus on verbal, get the ESR and attack your weaknessess. I'd say spend another 6-8 weeks on verbal and write it again. You should be able to get your desired score. best of luck

I was planning to buy the veritas prep 7 mocks which they are giving now.
But after seeing your debrief I'm sceptical now.
So there is a difference of close to 100 marks from what we get and what they give in their mocks.?
