Hi Guys,
Wanted to get your advice.. I took GMATPrep at the end of February and then at end of March scoring 760 (Q49, V44) and 750 (Q48, V44). Tests were taken under very real conditions, without previously having seen the questions.
I have also taken actual GMAT 10 years ago and scored 710 (Q47, V40). I am a non-native English speaker, so fully expected my verbal score to increase in 10 years -- and my expectation was confirmed in practice tests. I did all OG questions and consistently got 80-90% correct. Also reviewed Manhattan guides.
Then, last week I sat for the new version of the test and scored 690 (Q48, V36). I was stressed out on quant and thought I did horribly, but it was verbal that messed me up. Looking back, I don't remember struggling much with Verbal questions and overall feel was the same as when I did practice tests scoring V44.
I did run out of time in both practice tests for math and verbal, but I wasn't worried about it as it still allowed me to score my goal 750. On the actual test, I guessed last 5 questions in quant and in verbal. Not sure what went wrong and how I went from V44 twice to V36 on the actual test.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do and what could have happened for my score to dip so drastically?
I did get an ESR -- see attached. Nothing stands out in the ESR though to point me to the answer of what went wrong other than running out of time.
Any ideas? Thanks guys!

My advice is that you should take another GMAT exam. In general as one grows older, quantitative ability tends to decrease. Verbal ability on the other hand, tends to increase as one grows older. Your verbal score of V36 does not seem to represent your true ability.

In verbal, few wrong qquestions can significantly decrease the final score. I guess if you keep studying, you'll get the score you want as your timing improves and you complete all the questions on time.
GMATclub quant tests are great to strengthen quant knowledge.
For verbal, work on SC as it is the easiest to improve. As far as I know, RC is very important in a shorter version, so it might help to change RC tactics. I found Powerprep RC very helpful. However, there are many good RC tactics on this forum and you have to find and adopt the one that works best for you.
Hope this helps!
P.S. Please post your ESR when you get 5 posts
