hi,
I experienced 15 point decrease in my verbal score during my second GMAT attempt from my last GMATPrep score: V35 to V20. I've been trying to find where I went wrong and what/how do i need to attack, but i couldn't. Since some of you who are struggling or struggled with GMAT may find following questions familiar, please feel free to provide any feedback or answers or suggestions or new questions to consider.
What to do when:
I'm kind of confused and frustrated with GMAT and preparing for GMAT but definitely want to give another shot to give myself better chance to get into a B school.
Thanks
RG

What to do when:
- you find all strategies in your head or while practicing but can't implement the strategy or can't get the target score?
you find all concepts or strategies familiar and don't feel like going through them again?
you see vast difference in accuracy while practicing compared to accuracy or score in practice CAT?
you experience big drop in real gmat compared to previous GMATPrep?
you see that 'most' incorrect questions in practice could have been answered easily with no time pressure?
you can't find a reason why you can't or didn't implement a strategy during the test?

- I also found the above 2 issues during my preperation and i guess, the answer to these are a) more practice b) more focus.
Cheers!

There is always time and pressure. If we had unlimited time, the scores would skew even higher than they already do.
Also, what you're saying is very common for GMAT test takers "I know my weak areas but I don't know how to fix them." This is why we stress keeping a proper error log. An error log helps you identify the WHY aspect of timing/answering problems incorrectly. Overcoming this is key to getting past certain milestones.
