At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

After a year of gruelling prep alongside my hectic startup job, I wrote the GMAT yesterday and scored 575, which is below my target of 635.
Mock scores before the exam- 565, 525, 595, 635.
Please help me analyse this score, a few details-
Verbal- My strength, or so I thought, is definitely Verbal in which I've consistently scored 90+ percentile in mocks. I got 8 wrong in the actual exam which is surprising, but maybe that's because I had verbal as section 2 in the order.
Quant- Maths & numbers have always been tough for me. Even then, it was disappointing to see a 40th percentile in the test center report. It seemed like all the questions were so easy throughout the test (so easy that I double-checked to make sure the questions are actually that simple).
But looking at the score report, now it makes sense- since I got the first two wrong.
I would still like to understand why getting only 3 wrong and leaving 1 unattempted has resulted in SUCH a low score?
DI- DS id 100%tile so I know that there's a big timing issue I have with this section.
I'm attaching all the stats of the exam and am looking for solid advice on what all I can do to improve this score in the next 2.5 weeks.(Since I'm planning to apply to ISB R3, the deadline for which is 26th Jan and would want to give it my all to to score better in the reattempt!)

The difficulty level of the questions attempted may have been a factor. Consider checking out the Understanding Your Score page on the MBA website and the myth vs. fact info (e.g. in the beginning of the Official-Guide 2024). One fact that is mentioned, for example, is: Not finishing can lower your score a lot.

Hi RavKM,
Since your test is in just 2.5 weeks a great way to move forward with your prep is with topical practice. Let's use quant as an example.
For example, let’s say you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.
After each problem set, it's crucial to delve into the questions you answered incorrectly.
For instance, if you stumbled on a remainder question, take a moment to reflect. Was it a careless error? Did you fail to apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that eluded you? This analysis is key to your learning process.
By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant, verbal, and DI topics.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Good luck!
