Hi Experts,
I first appeared for GMAT in December 2013 after studying from books like Official guide, Kaplan and Manhattan. And taking practice tests from OG CDs, Kaplan CD and Manhattan 6 tests. I scored 630 (Q 44, V 32). I was not satisfied with my score as I was aiming for top universities who might not consider me with that score. After that I started all over again and realized that what i missed last time was being on the forums. I enrolled on GMAT club and beat the GMAT forums and got some really good information. When I started appearing for practice tests on all possible sources, I was scoring above 650. Since a week before the test day i.e April 10, 2014, I was consistently scoring between 710- 740. Then came the test day, I was all prepared and quite confident to break the 700 ceiling. Guess what, I scored disappointing 580 (Q 42, V 28). I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew that I had to rush in my first GMAT attempt and I couldn't manage my time properly. therefore I scored less. But after exhaustive practice this time, it was not a problem at all. I was always scoring above 40 in verbal during my practice. I never got such a low score even during some lazy practice hours. I am in trauma and unable to comprehend what might have gone wrong. Please help me with your inputs and experiences.
Should I consider taking GMAT again or should I compromise and leave the battle ground? It is very heartening to see such downfall especially when you have really spent a lot of time and efforts, not to mention the exuberant exam fees.
Thank you so much in advance!
Best Regards
