Hi all,
After the third attempt, I took the GMAT recently and got a 640 (q49 and v28) with AWA 6.
Would like your opinion on whether the AWA can reflect and compensate the poor verbal score.

That is most unlikely. AWA does not matter much.
Though it may happen that the AWA score is used as a decider between two candidates who are otherwise similar.

Hi saurabhlohiya,
First off, a 640/Q49 is a solid Score, so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. Depending on the specific Programs that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement (and the more time that you have to act on that advice, the better). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
Most Schools expect you to be able to write a decently-organized essay in a short period of time (which shows your ability to communicate effectively with written words). As long as you score at least a 4.0 on the AWA (which you did with your 6.0), then you should be fine at most Programs. The AWA Score and the Verbal Scaled Score are different results though - and with a V28, you likely lost significant points in all 3 major Verbal categories (RC, SC and CR). Again, depending on the Programs that you plan to apply to, you might be fine with your current Score - but this Official result shows that you have a great opportunity to pick up some significant points in the Verbal section (so continuing to study - and retesting - might be a good idea).
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) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
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?
If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
