I gave my GMAT a week back and scored a disappointing 580 Q42 V28. This was my worst score ever in about 12 tests. I am thinking I should give it again since I feel my range is higher. I usually scored in low 600's and got a 650 and a 700 as well in my practice tests. Also, Q42 is my lowest ever and I got Q45 or more in every other test. What is your recommendation for approaching GMAT a second time?
This is what I did the first time
Did entire OG13 by self study
Got Economist Tutor and covered 92% of the course....over 150 hours of work
Solved Quant review and Verbal review
A grand total of over 300 hours of work...which I believe is way higher than average
12 practice tests.....scored a bunch of low 600's, a 650(1 week before exam), a 700(2 weeks before exam). Scored Q45 or more in almost all tests(Q42 is my lowest) verbal varied from V26 to V38
I know if I use the same approach I will end of scoring in low 600's at most so I need to do something different since I need to get atleast high 600's and ideally 700 to be able to get in a top 20 school.
Please advise what I should do in terms of coursework, strategy, approach etc?

Hey !
I guess you need to give it a break and start afresh.
As you managed to bag 700 in one of your practice tests, definitely you have the potential to reach north of 650.
What I would suggest you is not to give so many practice tests this time.
Another thing what you can do is - pick your mistakes and weak areas from your high scoring tests and work on them first as those are your real weak points. Other areas are may be just beacause of lack of concetration.
Also, instead of finding new material and things, I would suggest re-visiting the same material and stuff instead of jumping on to new things. Probably what you need is strengthening your practice material and concepts.
Hope it helps !
Cheers !

Well, test yourself with a computer-adaptive-test like this one: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/practice-test
If you don't have 3.5 hours to dedicate to your next study session, then test yourself with randomly selected questions from the online question bank here and see how you are doing relative to where you want to be: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/
