Hi Guys,
I appeared for my 2nd GMAT attempt yesterday. I scored a pathetic 550 (Q44,V21). It was humiliating. I previously appeared on August 24,2018.I scored a shocking 580 (Q43,V27) then. I've purchased my ESR reports for both the attempts. Unfortunately i'm unable to post them here currently. So all in all verbal has been a shocker to me. I've attempted 14 mock tests with the break up as below:
Veritas Prep (7 mock tests):Test 1 - Aug 05,2018 - 620(Q43,V32)
Test 2 - Aug 13,2018 - 640(Q46,V32)
Test 3 - Aug 18,2018 - 610(Q44,V30)
Test 4 - Aug 20,2018 - 600(Q43,V30)
Test 5 - Aug 22,2018 - 630(Q48,V29)
1st GMAT attempt - Aug 24 - 580 (Q43,V27)
Test 6 - Sep 23,2018 - 650(Q46,V33)
Test 7 - Oct 01,2018 - 620(Q43,V32)
2nd GMAT attempt - Aug 24 - 550 (Q44,V21)
KapTest:Test 1 - 630(Q44,V33)
Test 2 - 610(Q41,V33)
Test 3 - 630(Q45,V31)
Test 4 - 620(Q44,V31)
ManhattanPrep:Test 1 - Aug 28,2018 - 660(Q46,V34)
GMAT OFFICIAL PREP:Test 1 - Aug 07,2018 - 610(Q38,V35)
Test 2 - Aug 14,2018 - 700(Q49,V35)
So the thing is, I've kind of lost belief in the mocks as far as verbal is concerned. I'm much better at quant than verbal. I know how I can improve my quant scores. However, verbal is where I'm utterly confused. My study material for verbal includes 2018 OG, 2018 Verbal Review, Aristotle SC Grail 2nd Edition and GMAT CR Bible. I haven't studied from any book for RC.
I feel an extreme lack of motivation right now. I'm 29, a Chartered Accountant (Indian equivalent of a CPA) and working with an investment bank in India. I've got 6 years work experience. MBA has always been my ultimate goal. However, I can currently see my dream turning sour.
Any kind help is welcome and I would be more than happy to share my ESR reports as well if you could help me analyse them.
Thanks a lot!!
Neeraj.
