Hi fellow aspirants/mentors,
Hope you're all doing well!
A slightly long post that might affect the number of people who could reply to this post. But i feel i must present all the details that, i feel, could help you advise me better in this seemingly endless war against GMAT. I'll cut to the chase.
I'd left the exam center after my first GMAT attempt with a score of 650(Q48 V30). Quants felt reasonably okay back then, while Verbal was pure chaos. I remember marking random answers just to catch up with the timer. I remember skimming through the options for critical reasoning without really trying to understand and eliminate wrong options. After the test, I was convinced that I could be having a much better score in my next attempt if i spent enough time and attempted more mocks. (I had consistently scored 680-720) in the mocks prior to my first attempt.
Two months later, i would go on to give my second shot at GMAT to try and end up with a score that starts with '7'. That fateful day happened to be yesterday. I was a lot more confident this time. I had given all six official gmat mocks. I had improved my RC and CR significantly while my SC was on a fairly decent level all along. I had improved my accuracy in DS as well. Most importantly, this time, I had a bag of 700+ scores in ALL my official mocks( Most of them in the 730-760 range). I was finally beginning to mark my answers in verbal with confidence and the timer issue in verbal wasn't a problem anymore. I had familiarized myself with the gmat test-day processes to prepare myself best for the occasion.
On the day of the exam, there were no surprises. I could sense that they were testing me on quants but i was up for it. For verbal, I had trained myself to focus on the question at hand instead of thinking about all the other external factors like accuracy, difficulty level, test pace, etc which I managed to build over the course of the two months of giving mocks. That approach had helped me cross the 700 barrier consistently. I ended the verbal section brimming with confidence and an unparalleled relief since I had not sabotaged my verbal attempt, like i had the previous time.
And yet, I ended up with a 650 again (Q50, V28). I was consistently crossing V35 in my mocks and didn't even feel like I had a bad test-day. Has anyone undergone a similar experience? I really feel like i am knocking on the door for the 700+ score but I am missing something . I'm open to ALL suggestions and ideas that can help me overcome this problem at the earliest.
Thanks,
MKAK

Hi MKKrishnan.
How have you prepared for GMAT verbal?
I'm asking partly because often people prepare for verbal by learning a lot about what the GMAT has done in the past and then are not well prepared to handle what they see on the verbal section of the GMAT on test day.

Consider working with a study buddy who has strong verbal skills. You can teach them quant in return.
