well my friends.....I have just given my GMAT and returned with a disappointing score of 420 (Q 35 V 15), Though I admit that my preparation was not optimal ( mere 20 days of preparation with not more than 5 hours a day)and underestimated the giant!! The verbal score actually shook my spine and I still cant figure out why it drooped to the bottom.
I was using the OG and some free E-Gmat prep options.(miscalculated and thought not to spend too much
)
so now.....seeking help from all my family mates to help me, guide me to prepare myself for the next battle..!!
I'm applying for fall 2018 admissions, and so planing to take my next GMAT by July end, targeting 700!
I have already pulled myself out from my early blood sucking projects so I don have any time constrains, I can dedicate up to 8 hours a day!
Need suggestions in choosing the study materials ,online courses, tips, tricks ect ect.....!

Your score shows a clear lack of fundamentals and that is understandable going by the time that you have devoted.
1. Did you complete both the sections? (There is a high penalty if you do not complete a section)
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs. You can also opt for our 50 point increase or money back guarantee. This shows our confidence in our course.
You can get the review of all the courses here: https://gmatclub.com/reviews/gmat_courses?fl=menu
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT, so I would recommend you not to take the test in July end.
To summarize,
1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide

Hi sathish419,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores. Thus, while your Official Score doesn't make you happy, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise - you didn't put in the necessary time and effort yet. That all having been said, raising a 420 to a 700+ will take some serious effort and will probably take more time than you've allotted. You'll also likely find it beneficial to invest in a GMAT Course of some type (either Guided Self-Study or instructor-led).
1) What materials have you studied with so far?
