Hello,
I recently took the GMAT with 3 weeks of intensive preparation and scored 500 (Q38 V20), IR3 AWA:6. I also did not manage the time well and found the test to be difficult than GMAT Prep tests.
I gave GMATPrep CAT1 (Without IR and Essay) prior to starting any preparation and scored 480 Q37 V19
I completed Quant questions from OG13 and read Manhattan guides.
Gave another complete CAT after 2 weeks of preparation and scored 540 (Q37 V28)
Gave complete GMATPrep CAT2 two days before the actual test and scored 520 (Q44 V19).
I gave very little time to verbal and hence the poor score. I find all the components of the Verbal tough, with CR and RC being the weakest.
I am planning to reappear for the test end of March and targeting schools for the Spring 2018 intake.
I am also thinking of getting the E-GMAT verbal module since my Verbal is really weak. I have heard reviews about the module.
For the Quant, I am planning on going through the mistakes I made (have kept an error log) in the OG questions again and reviewing them along with the Quantitative review and questions available at GMATclub.
Does this approach seem effective? What should my strategy be this time? Is there any other course material that I should get?

As per GMAC , the score that you earn on test day is within 30 points of GMAT Prep scores .You will need to improve on both the sections to score 600+
- For Quant - Manhattan or Veritas prep guides are good . Also you can follow Bunuel and solve questions in his signature .
- Verbal - eGMAT on demand or live course
SC - Manhattan SC or e-GMAT course
CR - Powerscore Bible
RC - Manhattan , Veritas or e-GMAT strategy
- GMAT Prep question pack 1
- GMAT Club tests are fantastic for quant practice .
Hope this helps!!

Hi azam777,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet to have scored higher. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your goals:
1) What is your exact goal score?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
