Hi,
I have given 2 GMAT attempts at the centre and one GMAT online. My scores are following -
GMAT-1 (centre) Jul 2020 : 700 Q50 V33
GMAT-2 (centre) early Aug 2020 : 710 Q50 V36
GMAT-3 (online) late Aug 2020 : 690 Q51 V30
I have been practicing for over 4 months now and have exhausted all good courses and content (e-GMAT course, Manhattan books, Powerscore CR, GMAT Club tests and Veritas + Manhattan + Official GMAT mocks)
In all my mock tests taken at home, I have scored consistently in Q50/51 (which is in-line with my actual GMAT). However, my verbal score in all my mocks has been V37-39 (across Manhattan, Official GMAT, GMAT Club, e-GMAT and Veritas). I have taken over 20 mocks in an exam-like environment with defined 8-min breaks.
Interestingly my performance after observing the ESRs has been very sporadic
GMAT-1 (centre): 700 Q50 V33 - scored 100% in CR (V-CR was 51) 50% in RC (V-RC was 28) and 50% in SC(V-SC 30)
GMAT-2 (centre) early Aug 2020: 710 Q50 V36 - scored 50% in CR (V-CR was 34), 100% in RC (V-RC was 51) and 70% in SC (V-SC 32)
GMAT-3 (online) late Aug 2020: 690 Q51 V30 (ESR not available): Here I felt I messed up the start as suddenly within 30 seconds after Quant, Verbal had started.
My weak areas according to me -
RC: I take too long to read if the passage in unfamiliar and has long sentence structures
SC: I know all the grammar rules but I get confused in the final exam between two options
CR: Most likely this is a strength but again in my GMAT-2 and GMAT-3 I believe I messed it up
I feel anxious as soon as verbal section starts and typically end up making errors in the first few ques (although before every exam I have done warm-up at home and gone for the exam)
I have another GMAT center attempt in the next 5 days, which is the deadline for many round-1 applications. I need help in devising a V36-38 strategy or closer to V40 and hitting a 720/730 in my next attempt. I feel I lose on the day of the exam in terms of anxiety but please advise in case I need to change anything or prepare certain concepts to hit that V38 goalpost in my next attempt.

First 710 is very good score. So u already in strong position, plus u r so ambitious that there is no space for anxiety and doubt.
1) Fight anxiety: Meditation; this link mite give u some ideas https://gmatclub.com/forum/650-v34-q44- ... l#p2603873
2) POE works well for Verbal; Word-precision
3) SC is fastest to improve. Review official Questions for SC/CR both.

i am in same position as you , once you cross 700 there is no space for any weakness in gmat , you need to be strong in all 4 section to cross 740 and anxiety is worst , I am failing in my sc section of verbal .
