Hi,
I started my GMAT Preparation a few months back. I read Manhattan Verbal Books and purchased Experts' Global Mock Tests. I was quite consistent in Mocks and scored ~730 on average (ranging from 710 to 760). I scored 740 in my GMATPrep-1 (Q-51, V-39), and 710 in GMATPrep-2 (Q-51, V-35). I gave my GMAT this 12th October and scored 650 (Q-51, V-27, IR-7, AWA-4.0). I didn't know exactly where I went wrong (I faced an issue at the Exam Centre which might be an excuse from my side but I would like to put it so as to get any guidance on how to avoid it again - The issue was that Examiner asked me to close the marker while not using it as it might get dried because of AC, and while giving Exam I was unable to do that because of the exam flow, eventually drying-up the markers. I literally asked 5 times for the markers).
I assumed marker thing as an excuse and bought e-GMAT Course so as to prepare in a better and structured way. To know my current level they asked me to give a Diagnostic Test (SigmaX-Mock1) in which I scored 730 (Q-49, V-40). Now, I am preparing from this course from last 20-25 days, and gave an Experts' Global Mock-12 today in which I scored 760(Q-50, V-42). Finally, my question is how should I judge my current ability so as to avoid the mistakes which I did the first time. Kindly help me over this.
Thank you.

Hi DeepakGuneja,
Welcome to GMATclub. I am sorry to hear that you scored surprisingly less as compared to scores in the mocks. Considering you were consistently scoring Q50-51 in your mocks, verbal score would be fluctuating and supposedly the same happened in your official exam. I am assuming that you made some silly mistakes or consecutive errors in your verbal section on the first two sets. It would be good to get your ESR and share in your post. I am sure, some of the experts will guide you after looking at your ESR. Otherwise, when you are confident to give another shot - complete the EG's mock test and MUST buy Official Mock (3-6) and do them before the official exam. Official mocks are the true representer of your level. Also, the real score can vary from (+/-) 30. All the best.

Hi sjas31,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, you are correct, verbal only fluctuated and I scored V-27 and Q-51 in GMAT. I actually got my ESR checked with some of the Experts, and they said I have conceptual gaps and to remove those I bought e-GMAT Course. But I still wonder, if I do have many conceptual gaps then how could I possibly scored well in various types of Mocks (close to 10 EG Mocks, 2 Officials and just after GMAT, 1 SigmaX), I am just pondering over this so as not to repeat the mistakes again. (Also, I want to attach ESR here, but it is saying that I can't attach it because I don't have at least 5 posts on GMAT Club)
Yeah, I have already bought Official Mocks (3-6), and am planning to give those before the Official Exam.
Also, what's your take on EG's mock, how well do they represent the score?
Thanks again for the help.
