I scored 340 on my official 1st GMAT exam, which was shocking for me!! I scored 490 on my Kaplan diagnosis test, and hired a Kapaln private tutor to guide me, took 15 hours class with him in 4 weeks. He said, I don't need to practice hard questions or go much deep in topics as I wouldn't see them on exam, he asked to solve some Quant problems from 2nd edition and did all from kaplan purple book and quiz bank, also I did some passages during those classes and he told me to figure purpose and solve questions, we didn't went through SC or CR Proportions or decimals, or even integrated reasoning or essay writing.
I will shed some light on my background, I have 4 years of Bachelors of Engineering from reputable University, I have solid background in Math, I am English writer, speaker and I have good grammar foundations, but while I was giving my test, I had the feeling I know nothing, I scored 4 in analytical writing and 4 in IR. My advisor at Penn State University in PA, said that if I score above 500, I am a good candidate for MBA program.
Please advice me to attain my target score of 550 in GMAT.

Dear Sumfar,
I'm happy to respond.
First of all, it sounds as if this blog article is relevant to your experience:
Lower on the Real GMAT than on Practice Tests
I heard you talk about practicing math and verbal, but I didn't hear you say anything about practicing stress management skills, which are just as crucial for success on test day. The links in that blog will lead to some articles about these skills.
Here are some GMAT Idiom Flashcards.
Here is a GMAT 3-month study schedule designed for someone exactly in your position.
I will point out that if you joined Magoosh, you would be eligible for our score guarantee. The reason we can guarantee a 50-point increase and rarely have to give anyone a refund is that most students see a much much larger increase. Especially for someone in your position, starting from a relatively low first GMAT score, the Magoosh plan would be likely to give you a gigantic boost.
Here's a sample verbal lesson:
The Missing Verb Mistake
Here's a practice SC question:
The vice-president of engineering
Here's a practice CR question:
In a few FANTOD programming
When you submit your answers to those questions, the next page will have a video explanation of the solution. Each one of Magoosh's 1000+ practice questions has its own explanation: that kind of immediate feedback is exactly what you need to accelerate your learning.
Even if you decide not to use Magoosh, please take advantage of our free GMAT blog, which is loaded with information that can help you.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Sumfar. I will suggest you to read the official guide books and take a practice exam from GMATPrep. I personally have bought the Kaplan books and find them ok. Once I complete these books, I will take a practice exam again to see where I am
