Ok, so I have been preparing for GMAT for about 5 months now.
first 4 months were really just studying various concepts.
But this past month I have scaled up my practice, and I've given a few practice tests
to gauge my potential as I'm planning to take the exam in March.
these are my practice test scores:
Feb 02, 2022 -- e-GMAT -- 580 -- Q37, V33
Feb 06, 2022 -- e-GMAT -- 640 -- Q41, V36
Feb 21, 2022 -- GMAT Official Practice -- 660 -- Q49, V31
Feb 25, 2022 -- e-GMAT -- 710 -- Q50, V36
Feb 27, 2022 -- e-GMAT -- 600 -- Q45, V26
I was really improving on my scores.
But I am struggling to understand why this has happened, and would want some suggestion on how to proceed.
(Most of the questions wrong are of CR/RC)
HELP!!

I'm planning to take the exam in March.
Not exactly sure when you're planning to give it in March (could you postpone it a bit?) but here are a few suggestions:
1) Use some Official Mocks
2) Consider Quality over Quantity in your prep (i.e. take some time to see if there may be a better way to solve a question)
Feb 21, 2022 -- GMAT Official Practice -- 660 -- Q49, V31
Your most recent mock says you got a V26 and your last Official Mock says you got a V31. Here's a Verbal student I helped go from a V31 to a V40 with a bit of solving approach tutoring. Perhaps find a study buddy who is good at Verbal who can help you on that end. The student also did some other stuff along the way that may bring some helpful insight.

There are many possible reasons for score drops. Maybe you had an off-day, or maybe there are weaknesses in your prep that the test exposed. It's also possible that we're looking at measurement error here. Whatever the case may be, I strongly recommend that you take another official practice test. That'll help take some of the other variables out of the picture.
I also see that you're taking tests more frequently now. Wait a few days if you can (when in March do you plan to take the test?), as there's very little point in taking another practice test so soon after the previous one. A lot of test takers aim for a gap of one week.
