Hi there,
I recently took the GMAT and got a 670, much lower than I expected. On my last practice exams (using GMAC) I had scored a 750, 700, 740, 720, and 700.
On the real exam, my verbal was much much lower than any practice exams, and I even had to rush through that section. On practice exams, I always had time leftover.
Any suggestions on how to go about starting studying again and what resources to use? Aiming for a 710+ which seemed very reasonable after all my practice scores.

Hi mate,
sorry to hear it did not go as intended, it might just have been bad luch, nonetheless I fully understand that you want to make sure to crack the 700s the next time.
With regards to getting the last few points out of verbal the following might be of help
1. Check out the SC specific threads on this forum, some of them (generally those with a lot of kudos) are very helpful
2. Listen to some of the videos on the YT chanel from Veritas, Magoosh and GmatNinja
3. Maybe check out the link in my signature, it adresses some verbal topics in general.
All the best for your prep my friend,
Chris

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. Before providing specific advice, I’d like to learn more about your situation with the GMAT. I have some questions:
1) What was the score breakdown of your GMAT?
2) Please list the dates on which you’ve taken any practice GMATs, the total scores, the quant, verbal, and IR scores, as well as how you were feeling while taking the tests. Also, please tell me where these tests came from (ex: mba.com).
3) Please describe how you studied and what materials you used. How many hours a day did you study and for how many months?
4) To what programs will you be applying? What are the deadlines for these programs?
5) By when would you LIKE to take the GMAT? By when MUST you take the GMAT?
6) How many hours a day, on average, can you study between now and your next GMAT?
7) In your opinion, how prepared were you for the GMAT? It's important that you answer this question as objectively as possible.
Once I learn more about you, I can provide some more tailored advice.
