So I took GMAT today for the first time after my preparation of 4-5 weeks and I got a VERY DISAPPOINTING score of 590!!!!
Its not even closeeeee to what I want to be able to apply to the colleges of my dream.
So how should I prepare myself to take the bull by horns when I take the test next time. I am planning to take it in mid Dec now?
Please suggest me some good strategies and materials for preparation. I prepared using Manhattan GMAT 8 books and Official Guide.

What was your math/verbal breakdown?
Did you have timing issues?
In those 4-5 weeks, were your scoring higher on practice tests?
You're not giving us much to advice you on. That being said:
Use your current GMAT results to come up with a study plan. Work from your weakest areas up. Use specific content (MGMAT, Kaplan, Veritas, our forums, etc) to learn the content and strategies. Take practice tests every so often (every week or two) to access progress and adjust your study plan if need be. Keep an error log as this is key to overcoming obstacles (the GMAT questions are written to stratify test takers, you need to figure out how to get past certain thresholds).
Best of luck,

Hey Mohater..
Thanks for the reply!
What was your math/verbal breakdown? : It was 43Q and 27V
Did you have timing issues? : For Quant no time issue....For verbal I had to rush last 2-3 questions
In those 4-5 weeks, were your scoring higher on practice tests? :
On practice tests:
MGMAT : between 640 - 700
Gmat Prep:
1.My first test before I started preparation : 540...
2.The second GMat Prep before the real GMAT 640.
Kaplan: 590
Is Kaplan on demand courses worth it? You know of any good site for practice tests?
