Hello Everyone,
I took my first attempt at the GMAT FE last Saturday (June 28, 2025) and scored a total of 605 (72 Percentile) (Q83|V78|DI79), which is very disappointing to me, as I'm aiming for a score of 685+ on my first two attempts. I prepped for 2 weeks using the OG and Manhattan Prep for Verbal, and 5 attempts of Free official practice tests 1&2 (all the questions started repeating during the 6th attempt). I prepared for the Verbal section using the GMAT Ninja Verbal Playlists and solving questions from the OG, but my accuracy was consistently low. I was very confident about my Quant as I'm from an Engineering Background, and when I took my Free Official Practice tests 1&2, I was able to get 18-19 questions correct consistently. I identified my weaker sections in quant (Probability based on dependencies, Venn Diagram, Permutations and Combinations, 10th Power Divisions) and worked upon them, but I got 3 questions wrong on my Actual GMAT attempt (Number of 4 digit numbers formed using given digits, Value of f(0) question, and 1 more question), and for DI, I solely relied upon the free official practice tests 1&2, except for the Data sufficiency part which I practiced using OG, I got 3 questions wrong in my Two-part analysis and 2 wrong in MSR, and 1 in Data sufficiency and 1 in Graphs. I'm going to give my second attempt in the first week of August, which will give me ample amount of time for my MBA admissions, and it gives me over a month of Prep time. I need help in analysing the score and improving my prep strategy. I'm also going to purchase the Official Practice tests 3-6, because I feel that the difficulty of the Free practice tests is incomparable to the Actual GMAT exam, coz some of the types of Questions felt new to me on the Actual exam. Any help with the analysis and test strategy would be immensely valuable to me, as I'm planning for a 685+ score in my second attempt, which is only a month away. I'm attaching the screenshots of my score analysis below.
Thank you.

Hi, you've already done a great job identifying gaps. Your overall score of 605 suggests you're close, and with structured work over the next 4 weeks, 685+ is within reach.
A few focused suggestions:
1. Mocks: Good call on purchasing Official Practice Tests 3–6. Take 2–3 mocks per week in a proper test-like setting—same time of day, no distractions, full length. After each, do a detailed error log by question type and time spent. Try using non-official mocks as well.
2. DI Fix: Two-part and MSR errors suggest logic and attention span issues. Practice DI blocks (4–5 questions) under a timer. Focus on structured elimination and interpreting data precisely.
3. Verbal: If GMAT Ninja isn’t delivering consistent accuracy, add LSAT CR drills. For RC, do fewer passages but with deeper analysis—map structure and intent over speed.
4. Quant Cleanup: You’ve identified weak areas—focus on those under time pressure. Use GMAT Club filters or OG Advanced to create mini drills.
You're close. With 4 solid weeks and a mock-driven strategy, 685+ is realistic.
Happy to connect!
