Need help with ESR analysis

Hi Experts,
I took my GMAT exam 2 months ago and got a score of 580 which I was really disappointed with given that I was getting around 680s in my mock tests. I was especially disappointed with verbal because I considered Verbal to be my strong suit. So this time around my aim is to get a score of 700+ so it would be great if you can help me analyse my ESR and carve out a high level study plan that will help me achieve this goal. I'm having a hard time creating a study plan and time table for my retake. Any inputs or help will be greatly appreciated
P.S. I am unable to attach the ESR report to this post since I am getting an error saying that I need to have at least 5 posts before I am allowed to attach the report. Let me know if there is a work around for this or else if you are comfortable in sharing your email then I can mail the ESR to you.

Hi harshithaneel,
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 potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long did you study before taking the GMAT - and how long did you study in total? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
Before you can include attachments with your posts/PMs, you need to have at least 5 posts in the forums (right now, you have just 1 post). If you would rather not go through those extra steps at this point, then you can feel free to email me directly (at Rich.C@empowergmat.com).
