Hi friends,
I need expert opinion on the GMAT preparation , i prepared for the long 3 months but still couldn't score well in the exam.
I did quants from Manhattan strategy guides, OG and Kaplan workbook, Verbal from Kaplan workbook and OG. The major issue i am facing is the time constraint while solving questions , without timer i do better than with the timer on. I scored pretty poor in the verbal section. Critical reasoning and reading comprehension is the major set back in the GMAT mock tests.
Prior to the main GMAT exam i gave 6 mock tests in which i didn't score well. I take a lot of time while solving questions.
I am really upset with my current situation because i left my work and prepared full time for the exam but my hard work is not reflecting in the result.
Below is my Mock test result.(1 week)
GMAT MOCK 1(GMAT PREP) - Left in middle due to panic
GMAT MOCK 2 (GMAT PREP)- 420
GMAT MOCK 3 (GMAT PREP)- 510
GMAT MOCK 4 (VERITAS) - 570
GMAT MOCK 5 (MANHATTAN)- 510
GMAT MOCK 6 (KAPLAN)- 610
GMAT main - 510
Please guide me on further studies and how many more months i will require to achieve the target of 740
My Target colleges are : ISB and IIMs , I have 5 years of brand management experience

Hi Sakshi, sorry about your score. But don't lose heart, you can nail it with a new approach.
I would suggest joining a coaching institute to get hold of basics of verbal, if time permits.
I think coaching will help you focus on your weak areas and in turn bring back your confidence.
Even going back to basics of quant at the coaching should boost your score as GMAT is much about concepts. timer tests your ability to deliver your understanding in the limited time. Once your concepts are clear, you shouldn't have a problem with timers.
Analyse your requirements and give it another shot.
Best wishes.

Hi Sakshi,
I would suggest you the following:
1. Go through GMAT Club Math Book. Learn all the concepts from it
2. Then practice OG (twice), Quant review and Question Of The Day on GMAT Club.
3. Do all these while timing yourself. Find out what kind of questions bother you in terms of accuracy or time consumption. Maintain an error log and go through it once in a fortnight.
4. Then selectively do those kind of question from GMAT Club tests. They also have 26 full length quant tests too. I would suggest you to attempt these tests from time to time (1 or 2 a week). The error log kind of facility can be found in GC tests too.
In short the key is to find out what troubles you and then selectively targeting it. For Verbal the strategy has to be the same but it is difficult to find a good resource for verbal. May I suggest you egmat for it. Consider taking there free lessons and read debriefs/reviews of people who have scored well in GMAT.
As far as timing is concerned, it will improve with practice only.
