When should i reschedule gmat now and strategy please?

Question

Hi,
Taken gmat today and scored just 500(V18,Q39) taken at test center.
My recent mock score were:
Gmat Prep 4:620(Q49,V25)
Gmat Prep 5:590 (Q47, V24)
Gmat Prep 6: 600( Q44, V28)

I think reason behind my today's very poor score were timing and i was not able to comprehend much better at test center as i do when i take mock at home. I guessed around 7-8 questions in Verbal and 5 in Quants...
Now I'm planning to retake gmat.I don't know what else should i practice now because i started my preparation around Feb and now I'm bored. How should i practice now because i exhausted all my official mocks too?

And during test i was not anxious then also i was not able to comprehend anything. What can be reason behind this?

For Verbal, there's an idiom list below that may help your Sentence Correction a bit. Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC and CR to students as well. Consider checking out the gmatclub study plan post and potentially working with a study buddy which may help in terms of motivation.

Hi 12922.

I have some questions regarding your prep.

What's your score goal?

How have you prepared for the GMAT so far?

If you do much better at home than at a test center, it may help to take the online GMAT rather than the in-person GMAT.

For some ideas regarding how to better manage your time during the quant section, see this post.

How were you consistent? In other words, what exactly did you do?

Did you study concepts? If so how?

Did you answer practice questions? If so how? Timed? Untimed? Random ones? By topic? All difficulties?

What materials have you used? Courses? Books? Practice tests?

What else can you tell us?

We need some details.

I was consistent from last 2 months studying atleast 6hr a day. I did self study, used Manhattan Guides and solved only OG questions with timing.
In official mocks my Verbal have never moved above 28+ even after practicing alot and with all basics cleared.

Hey 12922 , why don't you give GMATNinja's study plan a shot: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-ninja-s ... s#p3105981 Even if you don't decide to use the plan maybe you will learn some tricks that will help you in your journey.

OK, so, a key thing you need to do is practice verbal UNTIMED until you are getting most questions correct.

When you practice verbal timed, you don't have time to learn. So, your accuracy and score don't change.

Thus, what you have to do instead is practice each GMAT verbal topic untimed until you are achieving high accuracy in that topic, such as the following:

Easy - close to 100%

Medium - 90%+

Hard - 70%+

Once you're achieving those accuracies consistently, you can work on speeding up in verbal until you're answering questions at test pace, but work on accuracy before speed.
