What am i doing wrong?

hi, I wouldn't fret about the MGMAT scores....IMO their tests are purposely made hard (more to raise your ability level, presuming you take the time to understand the underlying concepts and solutions, versus perfectly gauge your GMAT scoring level). The fact that you are scoring so much higher on MGMAT CATs vs your 1st GMAT is a good sign though! Keep chipping away at it, you will get there.

for Verbal a thorough review of theMGMAT guides should suffice. Read them over and over and practice what they teach with official questions until exhaustion.

for math you should go through each and every official question in the OG and math OG. Whenever there's a question in front of you that you could not nail in less than two minutes go back to it later and do it over and over. Whenever you reach a point that you're comfortable with the official questions, jump to the GMAT club tests to get hard 700+ questions.

the most important advice of all: find the topic with the 700 pledge of a GMAT test taker. Read it carefully, print a copy and sign it.

Deal with the fact that you will sacrifice your social life and peace of mind for a few months. Everybody knows someone who nailed a 750+ with little study, but that's not for everyone. Deal with it. Once you get into the right track your confidence will grow and it will be easier to get your dream score. Believe me, it will feel good.

Mariale24, I have been an examination Acer throughout life, but GMAT has been an exception. It was such a huge setback to my own dignity that it took me 3 weeks to come out of the shock of my first score of 560 seven years back. I can literally empathize the word FRUSTRATION in your post, but that frustration will just keep you away from what you want as of now. I moved on and ultimately ended up trying different things and I am now going to join a full time MBA from one of best B-Schools in my country with not-so-impressive score of 670. But, the point is that I never considered stopping. You just need to push harder and keep improving. You need to analyze your sections one by one and you have to do this iteratively.

1) Pick the section where you have done the worst.
2) Do the practice for a period(one week to one month) with section oriented test.
3) Give a full blown test and check the improvement in the section.
4) MOST IMPORTANT: Revise the full test. Keep this revision either just after the test or on the next day of test.

If no improvement, double the practice period and again give a full blown test.

For most of people, RC is the nemesis. The best advice I have got is to do it so much that you start recognizing the patterns in the paragraphs. Do it till death to boredom. Take LSAT RCs and do them in 4 hour slots. RC is most critical section as per my gut feeling because it remained the only section which stopped me crossing the barrier of 700. It is most error prone at the 4th hour of the test when you need maximum concentration. So, practicing RC for 4 hours till you reach an accuracy of atleast 80% in LSAT RCs should definitely help. Don't worry about the timing initially, it will fall in place after some practice. But finish every LSAT RC available till you reach a good accuracy.
For CR, the best book out is Powerscore Bible. I know that it is much more than recommended for GMAT. But, nothing outside Powerscore can come in CR on GMAT. It takes atleast 2-3 months to master this book. I did this book at least 3 times to fully grasp the content.
For SC, do the OGs from OG10 to OG15 till you are sure why each and every option is wrong or right. After that, practice the concepts from some other course(eGMAT or Magoosh or SC1000 depending on your budget). I did each of OGs and SC1000 untill I reached the accuracy of 90% in each.

For Quant, Bunuel posts are legendary. Look for his answers for each of question on gmatclub tests. Search for them and crack them for the tricks.

Buy the extra packs from GMAC and solve each of them thrice.

A big part of Admission process is your profile and you can polish it over a timeframe to hide your not-so-good GMAT. So keep working on that as well day and night.

HTH and Best of Luck

Sign up for magoosh and watch all their math videos and do the math. Sign up for egmat verbal. I think they helped me the most.
