Hi All,
I am really demotivated and disappionted. Not sure what could be the wayout of my problem. I scored 610 (M49/V26) in Oct 2002. I understand that hardly I prepared anything substantial other than OG 5 or 6 prevalent that time. But this time on Sept 20, I again scored same - 610 (Q 49/V 25).
This time I seriously prepared. Joined Priceton for Verbal only, as I am an engg grad therefore Quants has never been an issue. I seriously worked on OG 11, OG 10, Princeton OSC and took more than 17 mock test from various sources.
Princeton I - 560 (Q49,V22) - first one with no prep.
Princeton II - 650 (Q 51, V 30)
Princeton III - 570 (Q 44/ V20) - think some s/w problem
Princeton IV - 670 (Q45/V39)
Princeton V - 680 (Q46/V39)
GMATPrep I - 570 (Q44/V25)
GMAT Prep II - 640 (Q47/V28)
Practice material -
Princeton OSC/ Classroom for Q and V
Manhattan SC
Litesee site for RC passages
300 SC questions from 1000 SC ( accuracy rate was 60-70%)
OG 11, OG 10 for RC
I went to huge disappointment to see my score again 610 in the GMAT (Q 49/ V 25). Even I could not score 26 in Verbal that I have done 5 years back with practical no preparation. I really do not understand why I am not doing good (infact doing disaster in V) in verbal inspite of having good understanding in the concepts. In the exam I remember, I faced very difficult question right from the beginning. I hardly remember any SC that I did confidently. Even in the RC also I just didn't somehow gather the energy to read the entire passage and then attempting the questions. I became very reactive and answered as the questions were comming. Didn't get the opportunity to apply the techniques I learnt even, as I was seemingly pressed for time and a bit nervous because I took a break of 1 month from my job to do the preparation for the GMAT.
If anyone can suggest me how should be I overcomming this. I would be greatly thankful to him. I am really very depressed and dejected to see my performance in GMAT Verbal. I still remember when I saw the screen for score, It was one of the sadest moment for my life.
Would like to thank you all for a pateient reading and thanking you in advance if someone wishes to advice me.

First off, Quant is ridiculous. I would kill to gurantee a quant of 49 come test day.
Anyway, not to sound rude or anything, but looking @ ur GMATPrep scores I would say a 610 is not that bad. Especially verbal. You scored a 26 on the real GMAT. and 25-28 on GMATPrep. Id say GMATPrep did a very good job of predicting ur verbal score.
In my opinion I think u should have headed to the GMATPrep results with much more weight than any of ur other tests.
If you wanna up ur Verbal. Must have MGMAT SC book. I hear Powerscore's CR bible is good. For RC, I write down the topic sentences and any key points. Many ppl don't like this method and thats cool. U have to develop ur own method. Essentially practicing RC's and developing ur own method are going to raise ur % of correct choices.

I think the next time you take, please consider booking the exam dates after you've started getting good scores in the practice CATs. It looks like your practice CAT scores were around 600-650 all the time. Also, I believe taking different tests from different vendors helps u get trained towards facing the unexpected.
Plus, Princeton is the easiest of all. They are not representative of the real test. Next time around, please give other test CATs a shot and appear for a test only after you start getting your expected score consistently.
