Well i took the GMAT few months back and it was shock. even though i didnt plan for 700 score in my initial attempt but the score was dismissal
i got just 590 marks in my first attempt and the score was dragged by quantative which i thought was my advantage
the quantative looked easy and it was a clear indication that my level was brought down by silly mistakes and in that crunch timeline i lost pace of DS section.
flaws:
not taking any mock test for full duration
not practicing enough
confidence lack
im planning to retake Gmat again in the coming days

Hi isandyy,
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores - and from what you describe, you studied far less than that - so you shouldn't be too unhappy about this result. A 590 is a solid result (as the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years) - especially if you didn't take any practice CATs/mocks leading up to Test Day. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) When did you take the GMAT and what were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
2) What type of study routine did you follow before taking the GMAT? How many hours did you typically study each week? What studying - if any - have you done since then?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
