At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

On my first official GMAT attempt i scored 38 in verbal but it has dropped to 28 in the second one. On GMAT prep mock tests 3 and 4, i scored 690 and 710 scoring 40 and 42 in verbal. What should be my strategy now as i cant make sense of this score of 28, someone please help. I used Manhattan SC and OG 18 for verbal. Also i gave the mock tests in exam condition without pausing the exam.

Hi simbasim,
To properly analyze this situation, I'll need to know a bit more about how you studied and your Official GMAT Scores:
1) Are these the only 2 times you took the Official GMAT? What were your Scores on each Exam (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) How long did you study before each attempt?
3) What study materials did you use for each attempt? Which CATs did you use for each attempt?
If you have not already done so, then you might choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn't provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Hi Rich,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Here are further details
1) Are these the only 2 times you took the Official GMAT? What were your Scores on each Exam (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
Yes, I have given Official GMAT only 2 times.
GMAT 1- 680 (Q46,V38)
GMAT 2- 610 (Q46,V28)
2) How long did you study before each attempt?
GMAT 1- Studied for 1 month
GMAT 2- Studied for 2 months
3) What study materials did you use for each attempt? Which CATs did you use for each attempt?
Study material
GMAT 1- OG 18 including Quant and Verbal Review; Questions on GMAT Club 700 level; Veritas videos on youtube.
GMAT 2- Manhattan SC; OG 18 ; GMAT club questions 700 level; Veritas videos on youtube
CATs
GMAT 1- GMAT Exam prep 1 and 2 (free ones)
GMAT 2- GMAT Exam prep 3 and 4 (Exam Pack 1)
In the second attempt i mainly tried to improve SC in Verbal and DS in Quant.
As you have suggested i will purchase ESR soon, but in the meantime is there something that i can start with for improvement. I am working full time so on week days i take out 2-3 hours for studies and 6-7 hours on weekends. Also, which date should i target for the next attempt?.
Though i have not scored well in quant but its score is understandable as, in the second attempt, i got stuck in couple of questions early on. Its the verbal score that i dont understand and not being able to figure out what strategy should i take for verbal. What changes can i make in the study material for both verbal and quant.
