Hi Binay,
I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. Many GMATers find at least some aspect of the Test to be challenging - so you are not alone. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level (and chances are good that you will not actually need a tutor to do so). Before we discuss any of those details though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) Over the last 3 months, how many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What specific study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
