Register for the GMAT Club Virtual MBA Spotlight Fair – the world’s premier event for serious MBA candidates. This is your chance to hear directly from Admissions Directors at nearly every Top 30 MBA program..
Hello Everybody,
I was thinking about writing this for seeking help but did not know where to start.(Actually I wasn't feeling well after this Score on GMAT and even thinking about leaving this MBA race behind but then i decided to write here for seeking guidance. I haven't taken the next GMAT date yet but I will give this test one more try.
Well This is how it goes.. I scored 620 on GMAT (Q48, V28, IR6, [AWA-5 exp.])
As you can see my Verbal Score is my enemy. In my Gmat Prep Exams I scored 630 on first and 650 on second.
A week before the exam I took my second GMAT prep test and after seeing 650 I was ashamed. I was feeling low and for that week I did not study at all.
Just one day prior to the exam I revised basic theories I have written in my notebook and went for the test.
On the test day : Exam pattern selected: Quant - Verbal - IR & AWA,
Quant : No rush but devoted enough time for all the questions. (might have rushed in 1 or 2 DS questions) but rest were fine. (I believe my quant is good, always scoring between 47-49 on quant, so i was confident about this section)
After this section I took break and went out, ate something and then back to the seat.
Verbal : first 2 questions were sentence correction then one CR and then came one RC. Sentence correction is my weakest point. I almost had no idea where to go. I was just stuck on the first question and spent about 3 minutes on it. then it became worst. at the end I had 10 minutes to and 10 question and faced with one RC. I guessed almost last 5 questions on verbal and at this point I knew its gone. Although i did not leave any question unanswered but i knew Verbal is gone. and then I completed my IR and AWA.
One negative thing, which i know, about my prep was that I had Gmat club tests MGMAT tests with me. but I did not do them also I never practiced full tests except for GMAT prep. I practiced Quant test and because I like Quant i spent most of the time on them. ( Not practicing enough for Verbal is one of the reason I am failing in this test)
I need to improve on my Verbal within a month as i am planning to retake the GMAT in June last week or July first week so that i have sufficient time for R1 applications.
Kindly suggest how can I improve on my verbal score.
Resources I have used: OG, OG verbal Review, OG quant Review, gmat prep test 1-2.
Test Resources I still Have (untouched) :
Gmat Club Tests ( 22 something Quant and 8 Verbal Tests)
MGMAT Tests: (5 Tests)
Apart from retaking Gmat Prep 1 and 2 Also planning to purchase Exam pack for Gmat prep : 3 and 4
Any other Free tests available
Target Score +720 on GMAT.
Please guide how to utilise these resources properly and work toward getting desired score.
Awaiting your response.

Hi dkumar2012,
From your post, you seem to understand some of the 'issues' with how you originally studied - and what you will have to work on to improve. Raising a 620 to a 720+ will likely require at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. As such, you will probably need more than 1 month of additional study to consistently score at that higher level.
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 how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich,
To ans your question:
1) I studied for 2 months 3-4 hours daily.
2) I have used OG , OG Quant Review and OG verbal review (all done twice)
3) I am planning for Tuck, Faqua, Tepper, UNC Kenan-Flagler, kelley and Carey (these what i have thought of)
In terms of time,, I have to give GMAT in or before first week of July.
