Hi guys, I just bombed the gmat last friday and I was completely surprised.
Score Background:
April MGMAT (530, 37q and 27v)
May MGMAT (670, 45q and 36v)
May MGMAT (620, 40q and 35v)
June GMAT PREP (590, 39q, and 32v)
June GMAT PREP (610, 42q, and 32v)
June GMAT Prep (690, 46q, and 38v) ( I got repeated questions)
Real exam (510, 40q, 21v)
as you can see the 21 in verbal is the lowest score I have ever had in verbal. I am completely frustrated and I dont know what to do or study.
I have done all the blue book OG verbal questions, as well as the OG 13 verbal questions. For quant I have studied the MGMAT books which work preatty well.
But my problem is verbal, I mean I guess my mos important thing I wanted to ask you is what should I do or study this next month? Should I just do the same thing? as in doing problems, doing them timed, writing notes etc.... do practice exams a lot? I just dont want to wast another month doing the same thing as I have been doing for the past few months and expect a different result in the exam.
Please experts, if you could comment on my above paragraph. Could it be I just had and "off" day? I mean from low 30's to low 20´s is a very big difference, thats why im finding it difficult to see what went wrong?
During the exam I was very disciplined on timing, I acctually though I was doing OK not very good but OK during the verbal part. I got a RC in the 4th question.
I think that I could of taken the exam bit light, in the sense that I knew I could take it again later----but again, that doesnt make up for a 21v when I was scoring consitantly above 30´s in my practice exams.
Could it be that I just need more practice taking the exam? In that case I can take an exam every other 3 days etc... maybe that would help me?
Im planning on taking the exam again in early August, however Im very confused as to what to do on the verbal part.
Regarding quant, I could say I am currently in the low 40´s level and need to take it up to 45. For that I will hit the MGMAT books as well as the OG 13 and green quant book from OG.
Thanks and I really appreciate any help out there.

Did you feel anything different during the exam?
E.g. anything you did differently or applied?
it is quite possible you had an "off" day and scored much less than usual - I have seen that many times but it is hard to prove and hard to determine except by doing a bit of bush up and taking the test again in a month.
What score do you need?

Thank you for your reply.
I need a 650. aprox 45q and 35v.
I did feel that verbal was harder than I was used too. In Quant I got a very had question to start off with and had to guess, I did feel that I did bad on the first 10 to 15 questions and then moved up..
For Verbal I remember that I was never 100% sure on a lot of the questions, especially in SC and CR.
I guess I have two options- do the question pack from mba.com then do the two gmat prep (second edition) before the exam.
or
Take the e-gmat course.
Do you think thats ok? or would you recommend another course of action?
