Hi All,
I wrote GMAT this weekend but score below my previous attempt of 620(Q48,V27). This time i got 590(Q45,V27) after a month of preparation. I was performing well on the practice tests getting 640 in the Kaplan and 750 in PP.I found quant extremely tough this time. But I was suprised that I didn't improve on the verbal. I just got panicked because I was unwell.I was unable to comprehend what i was reading.I think GMAT is all about attitude.I need 680 to get into the school of my choice because that's what the adcom folks told me.I have already submitted my application.Now I'm in a soup.The adcom will take this low score in the wrong sense.They expect me to fax the report on Mon.I don't know what to do.Should I retake the test this week because I really want to do so.Pls suggest how to crack the verbal. I'm nervous of RC's.I got 2 big ones in the beginning and all the questions were of inference type.
Thanks,
FH

Iam sorry to read about your experience. From what I could fathom, it might be difficult for you to increase your score significantly in few days. So I would not rush to take the exam because most likely you are not going to improve much. Ofcouse, if you think that your sickness played a major role, then I might be wrong
Your maths seems fine..second time, you probably neglected it a bit in your preparations and also you might have been unlucky to get bit harder bin of questions. Moroever, a difference between 45 and 48 is not more that 3-4 questions which you might have done incorrect due to rush or carelessness rather than due to weak in concepts.
Your verbal seems a problem. I would recommend doing lot of active reading to improve your RC skills. Spend couple of hours in front of computer everyday solving RC passages from gmat+/vstudy etc. Read abstract articles from sites such as https://www.aldaily.com. You will see that your concenteration and focus will really improve after this. It will build your confidence and you will be in control of things.
For sc, not only do the oG questions but also try to understand them very very minutely. Do 885sc questions from this site .. SC has to be really tamed to do well in verbal.
I know friend, it might seem frustrating at the moment. But my advice is, dont give up and sustain your efforts.
Good luck

Hi faizu,
Verbal is very hard to improve because it takes time. I think it would not worth the money to try again within a few days. You may want to spend more time and work on Verbal. If you are weak in RC, you can try to beat the SC and CR. That is my strategy also.

..I score 710(Q50,V35) today.
