Hi,
I am currently in process of studying GMAT for 2nd time. My 1st attempt was a disaster with a score of 480!! Q44 and V14. I have made lots of mistake during my 1st attempt.
Following are my study materials:
E-Gmat Verbal live prep
MGMAT Guides
Magoosh
OG 2015 with Quant & Verbal supplement guides.
Gmat club forum and self study.
The mistakes are like, Did not follow 1 particular course. Kept on switching the materials for verbal from e-gmat to Mgmat. I am non native speaker and verbal is huge pain for me.
During my studies, I felt very comfortable with quant and all my mock tests had around Q48-Q49 and V20-V25. But the test was a disaster!! I had also ignored Essay & IR sections.
Anyway, my aim is to get 680+ and I have to do it this time. I would like to know from people who were in my situation and improved their score. I am also planning to purchase a instructor based course (Veritas Prep is my 1st option) so I will have some motivation and I can stick to schedule. Btw, I am a working professional with 7 years of experience. Please advice and help me. Thank you.

Dear pairakesh10,
I'm happy to respond.
This is Mike McGarry, the voice of all the math & SC video lessons on Magoosh. I am glad to hear that Magoosh is one of the materials you are using. A few thoughts. I assume you already know about the Magoosh GMAT Idiom Flashcards:

Hi pairakesh10,
You have listed quiet a few impressive courses out there. But as you have experienced, going through a lot many courses might hamper your score.
For this round of preparation, pick up a course and stick to it.
Also, going by what information you have provided, I think your test taking strategy was flawed during the actual GMAT.
1. Did you take mock CATs in your preparation?
2. If yes, did you take the full tests including AWA and IR?
3. For the verbal part, did you solve the questions for the OG and the Verbal Review?
4. Did you prepare an error log?
If you have not solved the OG completely, I would urge you to start solving that book and the Verbal Review book.
The questions have appeared on the GMAT and are as close to the test as it can get.
