Hi,
I have taken gmat twice. The first time I Scored a disastrous 580(Q44, V27).
As it was no where near my target score of 740+, I decided to take time, prepare and write again.
Last month I wrote again but fell short of my target quite miserably. I scored a 660(Q49,V30).
I blacked out half way through my verbal, and everything started looking very tough to me. Though the first half of verbal went fine, I got stuck on a tough RC passage for 15 minutes. So I panicked and rest of the section went haywire.
Though I improved 80 points, I know it will not be the same to improve from 660 to 740.
Like many Indian IT GMAT takers, I am poor at verbal.
I'll really appreciate your views, I have to retake the gmat (in a month). Please advice what strategy should I follow.
I am looking for new material for verbal preparation. I have already finished manhattan gmat.
I have read that e-gmat verbal is really good for non-natives . Please advice on whats the best way to improve my verbal score.
Your views will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Maintaining focus on the test is a critical element. We have helped many Indian students overcome their initial fears on verbal. You can read about one student here: https://www.gmatpill.com/announcements/f ... ats-raghu/

You don't need new material--you need to practice applying what you have learned! Make sure you're taking time after every practice set to review thoroughly and understand the workings of each problem. where-to-practice-after-og-154845.html#p1239328
Also, how did your official score compare to your practice test scores? Was there a discrepancy there, or did you score around 660 at home, too? It can help to make your practice test as much like the real thing as possible (official timing, no pauses, no extra breaks, essay & IR, etc.). The GMAT is really an endurance event, and it takes some getting used to! Also, make sure you're getting a bit of sugar during the breaks.
