Whether you are just beginning your MBA journey or fine-tuning your path to a 700+ score, GMAT Day is designed to give you a competitive edge.
After months of GMAT Prep, possibly solving every question in the OG 10 twice , spending loads of time time on GMATCLUB answering the questions posted, I have yet again managed to screw up my GMAT .
My second GMAT test scores are extremely depressing 620 ( 48, 27) . I got a 660 the first time 3 months back ( 47, 35) and I knew I could cross the 700 plus barrier with some more effort.
In the days preceeding the test , I took 3 GMAT Preps and scored 750 (47,47), 740 (48,44) and 770(49,47).
I am unsure of why I have scored so poorly on the actual test in Verbal. I solved almost 10-12 Sets , where I managed to get not more 8 questions wrong on Verbal . In 6 months of practice I never got 27 on Verbal .
On the quant this time , I saw atleast 3 questions from the GMATPREP, loads of questions on median, mode, and mean , calculation intensive questions, and practically no questions on Probability, Permutation & Combination and even difficult Geometry.
The Verbal was much simpler than what I had practised, I found the questions relatively straighforward, and even the CR's were not at all difficult, as compared what I had practised on CR1000. I completed the Verbal with 10 minutes to spare, and was expecting a 700+ score. Internally I knew I had done well, and then I saw this score .27 .... How can that happen ??
In the Verbal , in the practice tests, I almost got my RC's correct . I only made mistakes in my CR and my SC mistakes were also getting fewer with time.
I am unsure whether I will be applying with this score. I have decided to take a small hiatus from studies, come back to life and then retake the GMAT afresh, with no memory of my past learning experience.
I dont know what suggestions , friends on the GMATCLUB would like to give here.I myself am unable to comprehend, where I went wrong.
Maybe its not just the right time for me to look at an MBA, maybe I need to rethink... maybe.... But after months of hardwork, hours of effort, and a dream which I have nurtured for more than 6 years after i graduated, its really hard to look at all the effort go down ..
Thanks goalsnr, sondenso, walker, spriya, sanjay_gmat, saravalli, x2suresh,smm32, prachiparekh, zoltan, rhyme, riverripper, startupaddict,jallenmorris ,chineseburned, fresinha ,leopard and all of you who have posted some excellent questions and been great support on GmatClub. I do wish the best for you all in this journey... Hope to be there some day with amongst the high scorers, because somewhere inside me I know that I belong there....

GP:
your gmat prep scores would be false indiactor as you would have given them no of times.
Also you havent done OG11 and OG purple.
Other things that I have noticed is that on forums most of the explainations on SC are pretty vague as comapred to OG explaination. I have found that that last 50 of OG SC Qs deal with the meaning of the sentence and clarity and not only on grammar rules.
Did you strictly prepared based on OG for verbal?
What were your scores on other CATS that you gave. Did you give MGMAT CATS OR KAPLAN?
How do you rate your stamina on concentrating 75 minutes on verbal at one stretch ?
I have read one of the forum member (Yehwei, if i rem correctly) who did nothing much other giving 21 CATS in three weeks.
I am appearing for GMAT on 11 aug. will update how it goes, but these are things that are accross my head currently.

I have done OG11 , but not the purple book.

No I reffered to Kaplan, Princeton verbal workout and Manhattan SC.
Quote:
Princeton 700,720,720,720. Powerprep 720,760. 10 GMAT Sets . (But I cant score them)
Good stamina, but yesterday at some point in time during the test, one of the RC's onthe screen look blurred for a few seconds, and I had to get back my concentration.... But I think that happens to all
