At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

I recently took the GMAT Focus Edition and scored 615. While I’m satisfied with the learning from this attempt, I plan to retake the exam to target a higher score.
Preparation resources:
I primarily used Experts’ Global and GMAT Club for my preparation. Experts’ Global was especially helpful for mock practice, offering around 15 full-length tests that helped me build stamina and improve time management. GMAT Club was invaluable for concept clarity, alternative solutions, and understanding different problem-solving approaches.
Exam experience:
Quant felt slightly tougher than my mock average, DI was time-intensive, and Verbal was fairly balanced. I feel better execution and pacing could improve my score.
Next steps:
I plan to work more on weak areas, analyze mocks in greater depth, and focus on accuracy under time pressure before my retake.

Great job on the 615 and kudos for having a clear retake plan instead of just hoping things improve! Your self-awareness about execution and pacing is exactly the right diagnosis—those are the levers that move scores in the 615-675+ range.
A few thoughts based on what you shared:
1. "Quant felt tougher than my mock average"
This is actually a good sign—it means the algorithm pushed you into harder questions because you were getting earlier ones right. The issue isn't the difficulty, it's that you probably spent too long on those hard questions. For your retake, practice strategic abandonment: if you're 90 seconds into a Quant question and still don't see the path, make your best educated guess and move on. Protecting your time for the questions you can solve is more valuable than grinding out one tough problem.
2. "DI was time-intensive"
DI kills people on time because of all the data parsing. Two things that helped me get to DI 83: First, on Multi-Source Reasoning, don't read all three tabs upfront—read the question first, then go to the relevant tab. Second, on Two-Part Analysis, eliminate aggressively. Often you can cross out 2-3 options in Column A just by testing one constraint, which makes Column B much faster.
3. Your next steps sound solid, but I'd add one thing
When you "analyze mocks in greater depth," don't just review wrong answers—review the ones you got right but took 2.5+ minutes on. Those are score killers. They're pulling time away from other questions and creating a cascading time crunch. Figure out what pattern recognition you missed that would've made them faster.
615 to 675+ is absolutely doable—you're not missing concepts, you're missing efficiency. That's way easier to fix than knowledge gaps.
One question: when you say Verbal felt "fairly balanced," where are you strongest and weakest among CR/RC/SC? That might be where the biggest quick wins are hiding.
