Hello, everyone.
I'm writing this post with a heavy heart. I went in to take my actual GMAT test today, January 27th, 2022, for the second time, after spending nearly 4-5 months and putting in 2-3 months of consistent preparation (GMAT 1 - 530: Q32, V30- May, 2021).
My mock scores were nearly in the range of my target score, which is 700+, so I was fairly confident in my preparation.
Mock scores with dates and sources :
620 (Q40, V35) - 29th Nov -Manhattan
620 (Q43, V32) - 11th Dec - Veritas
600 (Q38, V34) - 20th Dec - GMAT Prep 1
710 (Q47, V40) - 7th Jan - GMAT Prep 2
Q48, V(N/A) - 11th Jan - GMAT Prep 3 : Just took the Quant section
720 (Q49, V40) - 22nd Jan - GMAT Prep 4
650 (Q47, V33) - 25th Jan - GMAT Prep 5
670 (Q42, V40) - 26th Jan - GMAT Prep 6Today, the Quant section went well for me. Because I was short on time, I had to guess the last two questions. Aside from that, my Quant section went well.
In the Verbal section, I was relieved to see the level of RCs and SC, as I was able to get to the correct answer without much difficulty. The CR, on the other hand, irritated me slightly because it has always been my weakest area, but it didn't bother me that much. I was fairly confident that I had done fine and that I would receive a score of at least 700, if not 700+.
However, I did not expect a 600.
Yes, I did end up with a disappointing
600(Q42, V31).I honestly don't know what I did wrong or what went wrong; I don't have the ESR and don't think I'll be able to get it right now.
I'd like to apply to B-Schools for the 2022 MiM intake, and 600 is clearly insufficient.
As a result, I intend to take it again in 16 days.
If you could assist me and tell me what I should do in the next 16 days to improve in my next attempt so that I can get a 700+.
If someone could help me with some sort of an action plan here maybe
bb or
GMATNinja, I would be really grateful.
