Hey,
I want to start off by saying I've been reading a lot of things on this forum, but this is my first time posting.
I am senior at the UW in Seattle, studying marketing. I'm taking the GMAT as I want to get an MSc in Marketing at Bocconi, SSE, Rotterdam etc.
I've studied for around 2 months, on and off, as I am also in school and had to balance the GMAT with 4 classes. Around 80 hours total. I've done all of the OG 13 and Kaplan 800
I took the GMAT 2 days ago and ended up with a disappointing 640, 39q38v (goal is 680-700)
GMAT PREP were 700 and 710.
Other CATs were 680 and above (MGMAT was 680 I believe)
My verbal score was most shocking, as I would normally score at least a 42-43 on the tests I took (Even though I'm not a native speaker, I've been living in the States for about 6 years). I would usually finish around 10 minutes earlier on the verbal part and miss a couple of questions just because of lack of attention. On the test, though, I barely finished, and even had to guess a few questions.
However, as I look back, I never did the entire 4 hours on the CATs I took, as I only did the Verbal and Quant sections (Don't have problems with IR or AWA). I think this came back to haunt me as I was very fatigued mentally when I started on the verbal and had a really tough time concentrating.
Anyways, since I am missing the January deadline for Bocconi, I am planning to retake it sometime in the early part of January and go for the February deadline.
This is what I plan on doing:
-first of all, just take 2 weeks completely off to focus on my finals/end of the quarter
- for the verbal part: I downloaded "the most comprehensive collections" pdfs (360 questions: rc, sc, cr); I'll go over them just to keep my mind in the game. Also, I'm planning to take 4-5 CATs at least, and for the entire 4 hours, to get my brain used to staying concentrated for longer. Any idea on where could I get some more difficult Verbal verbal questions, just to practice?
- the quant side is where I would need advice. I've never been great at math, but usually scored around 40 on the CATs. Even an improvement to 42 would be great. I would like to concentrate more on topics and concepts I make the most mistakes on. I am thinking about the Kaplan Math Workbook. What do you guys think? Any other alternatives?
Thanks a lot for your help!

You can try checking out some books with advanced questions. Have you thought about checking out Kaplan's GMAT 800 book? Might be worth looking at if you are just wanting difficult questions. Veritas is also chalk full of tough questions, if interested!
