Hi there, Just gave my GMAT yesterday and got a score of 660 . Got a 50 in Quant but bombed the verbal section , got only a score of 30.
Being a non native speaker , found it difficult to score in Verbal ( haven't prepared much for it either ). Planning to give a retake somewhere around Mid August .
Advice needed on the below;
1) Is 1.5 months of preparation enough to improve my score in verbal , pretty good at quant ( so no headaches there ) and reach a score of 700.
2) When does the round 1 start for most universities ? I hope I wont be missing out on the application for any of the good universities, if I give the retake in August.
Please help !!

Hi,
Must congratulate you on impressive Q score. Lets swap the scores, as my handicap is quant. Jokes apart, I feel you can increase your score drastically if you reach to 80th percentile or a score of 36 in verbal, which is very much possible considering that you haven't paid much attention to verbal and your verbal score is quite low.
SC is the one area where you should pay maximum attention. As has been advised by many in this forum and else where, you should consult Manhattan SC guide only and then do practice through Official source i.e. OG 10, 11 and 12 and subsequently take help of GMAT Prep Question bank posted on this website. Do let me know if you do not find them here.
Second sub section which you should focus on is CR. I personally like Powerscore CR guide because it helped me to understand the type of questions asked and their relative importance. Once you have done this book, your RC will be taken care of automatically. In both these sub sections, inference and main idea questions are the one which normally give trouble to non native speakers.
Through a lot of practice, you will be able to understand the pattern and tricks adopted by GMAC and a hit rate of 70-75% will be possible.
All the best.

Thanks a lot Manjeet for the reply. Yeah, if only we could have swapped the scores . 
Do I need to do one more practice test to see which sections I am facing trouble in. Also considering my current workload, it's difficult to do all the questions in the books you mentioned. So wanted to know how to split it up and do questions in different books and of different levels as in Verbal I am stuck in the 500-600 level itself.
Also I practiced by reading the materials from the books and am not used to sitting in front of the comp and reading passages which is kind of a big strain for me. So I need to develop that too right ? any suggestions ??
Also I hope that I have time till Sept for getting the 700 mark right and applying??
Thanks !!
