Hello All and Experts;
I took my GMAT yesterday dated 10th of March. I got very disappointing score for the third time. I don't know actually what is the problem. I spent 3 months of dedicated and intensive study. I was studying almost 9 hours per day, ending up with 490 !!! with just 20 points increase over the old score. So this means that if I want to get an extra 200 points I have to study for at least 30 Months !!!!.
I want to share my experience, asking for help.
28th of August 2016 First Real GMAT Total score : 420 Q: 38 V: 12 AWA: 5 IR:3
30th of October 2016 Second Trial Total Score : 470 Q:42 V: 15 AWA: 4.5 IR:4
10th of March 2018 Third trial Total Score: 490 Q:40 V: 19 AWA:N/A IR: 3
Before the last trial , I was studying almost 9 hours per day even more, 7 days per week for 3 months.
As you see my verbal score hits my score every time so I started with the verbal this time. solving more than 800+ sentences in sentence correction section with difficulty level 600-700, I reached the level where I could tell what is the correct answer without seeing the rest of answer choices.
My Moc scores are as below before the last real exam"490" ; the scores are in order ;
London Business School Free CAT :- 550-590
Veritas Prep 1: -500
Veritas Prep 2: -540
Veritas Prep 3: -470 " I wasn't able to be fully focused in this one
Veritas Prep 4: -540
GMAT Prep EP1:- 550
GMAT Prep EP2:- 620 for both exams 5 & 6 " I solved all GMAT prep CATs a year ago, but when I started to resolve them I didn't recall either questions or solutions " So I believe that this an accurate prediction"
Materials used :
Quantitative : Gmatclub
Verba: Official Guide 2017
I paid till now an amount of "$785"
My targeted score is 600+ , I don't need 680+ . My targeted score is not that high so that I couldn't reach it after a long time of preparation. I am very sad and disappointed.
GMAT real experience and some of questions I can recall :-
The exam became harder from my point of view
Please I need your advice, I won't give up my dream, but at the same time I spent efforts with no rewards. Please let me know from where should I start and what should I do.
Thanks alot.

Hi,
I think that GMAC still keeps its algorithm. The problem is your performance.
Note that when you took EP2, even that you "didn't recall either questions or solutions", this is your feeling, not the truth. The truth is that once you take a question, you will remember the way to solve that. In the future, if you face this question again, you will quickly get the correct way to solve that question. Thus, be careful to take a test many times.
I think that an effective way to boost up your score is to improve your Verbal score because your Verbal score is too low. There are many useful posts that provide some ways to study Verbal section. Try to search them.

Thanks a lot , your advice is appreciated. Definitely, I have to start again working on verbal. I'll keep searching until I arrive at an adequate strategy to tackle this part.
