Thank you all,
But the thing is, that the questions I answered wrong didn't contained any difficult tricks. Just ordinary questions, but somehow I manage to answer them wrong.
P.S.^May be was cursed by GMAT?!:)

I too was on the same boat in the very beginning. There is only one way to fight this i.e. learn the patterns of ur stupid mistakes e.g. a pattern can be - assuming that a variable X is an interger even if the DS doesn't say anything. Once u know ur patterns, then all u have to do is implement it as soon as u see a problem of similar kind and thinking "wait a sec, I know I make mistake here, so let's be careful". Try this and see how it helps ! Keep notes of all mistakes/patterns and review biweekly.

Many thanks for replies.
Tried to concentrate harder, practiced self-talk and took several pills.
The result is
Kaplan 2003 - CAT 1 - 630(Q 49, V 28)
PR 2003 - CAT - 660(Q 50, V 30)
What will my actual GMAT score would be?
Kaplan questions seem to be more difficult, don't they?

Agree on that. Kaplan Maths is quite a joke. The OG offers a better challenge in the quant section compared to Kaplan.

Sure not for the Math. Look at my verbal section results.
Can I improve my verbal skills in 2-3 month? I want to jump at 40-45.
What are the most effective strategies? Don't advice practicing: the more I solve, the more I get wrong answers and the more become desperate.

Agree on that.

Offtopic: Is phrase "Agree on" correct? Isn't it should be "Agree with"?
I've just downloaded Idioms lists from this web-site, and now am trying to seek and correct any non-idiomatic phrase I find. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
