Hi hanamana,

I am sorry that your scores were not in line with your expectations. I see that you are looking at multiple courses that will help you reach your target score. Below are the considerations that I think you should keep in mind while selecting a course:

How should you choose a prep course?

While reviewing the courses you must look at the following factors:
    1. Will the course work for you? Look at the free trial resources of various courses out there and evaluate their teaching methodologies. Choose the one which suits your needs.
    2. Is the course proven to deliver success to students like you? – Look at the reviews of courses out there and see what others have to say and then decide.

Hi hanamana,

It's certainly possible that you might perform better overall if you begin your Exam with the Verbal section instead of the Quant section. If you truly are dealing with significant fatigue 'issues' on Test Day though, then we have to take a closer look at the lead-up to Test Day and Test Day itself:

1) What did you do in the 3 days before your GMAT?
2) How did you sleep the night before your Test?
3) How long was the travel time to the Test Center from your home? What time was your Test appointment?
4) Were there any distractions at the facility or during the Test?
5) What did you do during the two 8-minute breaks?
6) Did you finish any sections early?
7) Did you have to rush to finish any sections (and guess on questions just to finish on time)?
